Bill Would Fund Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Grant Program until 2018
Washington, DC: Thousands more sexual assault victims will get justice if Congress passes the Justice for All Act of 2013, introduced today by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT).
This comprehensive victims' rights law includes a re-authorization of the important Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Grant Program to reduce the backlog in testing of sexual assault kits (SAKs) throughout the nation.
"These victims wait for justice, often in fear, while their attackers are free to victimize others," said National Center for Victims of Crime Executive Director Mai Fernandez.
"The Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Grant Program provides crucial funding to solve cases, achieve justice, and increase public safety everywhere," said Ms. Fernandez.
Jurisdictions that clear their backlogs have produced impressive results. When New York City cleared its backlog of 16,000 untested kits, arrest rates soared to 70 percent, up from the national average of 20 percent. Additionally, the resulting evidence produced at least 2,000 matches in the national DNA database linking perpetrators to unrelated crimes or various other crimes, including burglaries.
The Justice for All Act also builds on the success of the Crime Victims Rights Act, ensuring victims are informed about their legal rights and their remedies if those rights are violated. Under certain circumstances, it also allows courts additional time to consider claims of violation of victims' rights.
The National Center for Victims of Crime supports the Justice for All Act of 2013 and other measures to expand the revolutionary impact of DNA testing—such as testing the DNA of arrestees, as well as those convicted of crimes. Testing the DNA of arrestees (the policy at issue in the pending Supreme Court case of Maryland vs. King), will solve thousands of crimes and prevent future victimization.

Barack Obama's 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and "passed by the full committee". Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obey's office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.
• $3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces
• $400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces
• Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request
• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza
• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance
• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance
• Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request
• Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request
• Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq
• Israel: $555 million of the $2.8 billion 2010 request for security assistance, $555 million above the supplemental request. (Note: that means Obama's original request did not include any money for Israel in 2009)
• Lebanon: $74 million
• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis
• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)
• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia
• Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic
• HIV/AIDS: $100 million, $100 million above the request, for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to address a funding shortfall for grants in key countries such as Haiti, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Afghanistan. (Note: That means Obama's original request didn't include any money for AIDs)
• Africa: $151 million, $18 million above the request, for economic and security assistance for Kenya, Somalia, Southern Sudan, and Zimbabwe
• Mexico: $470 million, $404 million above the request, to address growing violence along the United States-Mexico border by supporting the Government of Mexico's war against organized crime and drug-trafficking
• Georgia: $242 million to fulfill the United States commitment to the people of Georgia
• Global Financial Crisis: $300 million, $148 million below the request, to address the global financial crisis in developing countries
• Nuclear Non-Proliferation: $55 million, $34.5 million below the request, for the National Nuclear Security Administration to safeguard nuclear material in Russia and other sites world-wide
• Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
Mass media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story
…and then there is Obama's $108 billion IMF bailout scheme in addition to the Supplemental
To really add insult to injury, check our previous Creeping Sharia post – Obama asks Congress to allow U.S. funds to terrorist Hamas govt
The Obama administration has asked Congress to let aid to Palestinians continue if Hamas backers are included in a new unity government, observers say. The proposed change in U.S. law would be necessary because Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, is designated as a terrorist organization and therefore cannot receive U.S. aid.
Again, did you see this on the news? Hear it on the radio? Blogosphere? Nope.
Update: Updated Supplemental Summary Here (Worse than the original) – Approved by House on 6/15/09
Camera research indicates a direct correlation between increased aid to Palestine and increased homicides:

Nashua police chief defends charge in Rep. Campbell duck caseBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
January 14. 2014 9:29PM
NASHUA — The city's police chief said Tuesday that Police Commissioner Thomas Pappas' involvement in state Rep. David Campbell's recent duck accident did not influence the police investigation.
According to a police report provided by the Nashua Police Department, Campbell called Pappas after he had a couple of drinks and ultimately ran over several mallard ducks with his BMW, killing five of them on Dec. 23 outside of the Crowne Plaza.
Pappas, Campbell's friend and attorney, then picked Campbell up from the hotel and contacted the police department about two hours after the accident to inquire whether police were looking to speak with Campbell.
"The Nashua Police Department looked into this incident at the Crowne Plaza thoroughly and charged Mr. Campbell with what we thought was the most appropriate charge," Nashua Police Chief John Seusing told the New Hampshire Union Leader. "The fact that Mr. Campbell was a state representative, and that he reached out to an attorney/friend who happened to be a police commissioner, had no bearing or influence whatsoever into our responsibility to look into this matter."
On Tuesday, a spokesman for Gov. Maggie Hassan said that it is ultimately up to Attorney General Joseph Foster to determine whether a probe into the matter is warranted.
"Any such review would be conducted by the Department of Justice and initiated by the attorney general, who has the independent responsibility and authority to determine what cases the department undertakes," said Marc Goldberg, Hassan's communications director. "The governor has every confidence that, in all cases, the attorney general carefully considers all issues and makes appropriate decisions based on the full facts of any given situation as to whether a review from the Department of Justice is warranted."
Campbell's claims
Campbell, 56, of East Dunstable Road, has maintained the incident was an accident and has repeatedly apologized for the mistake. Campbell admits that he had two drinks before hitting the ducks around 10 p.m. on Dec. 23, but said he was not intoxicated and immediately parked his car after the accident to assess the situation. However, Campbell said he left the scene on foot after a witness who was feeding the ducks at the time became agitated with him.
"He cursed, continuously yelled and approached me in a threatening manner," Campbell said of James Murphy, the man who was visiting from out of state and ultimately reported the incident to authorities. "After I parked my car, his aggressive behavior and threats continued. To defuse a situation that was becoming increasingly hostile, I walked across the parking lot to my office building."
Campbell, a practicing attorney, maintains that he has cooperated with police, reported the accident to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and spoke with hotel management.
According to the police report, a night manager at the Crowne Plaza told police that a BMW drove the wrong way through the hotel drop off, running over several ducks that were in front of the hotel.
Murphy told police that after the driver hit the ducks, the driver — later identified as Campbell — exited the vehicle, appeared intoxicated and said, "The ducks should have moved out of the way," according to the police report. Murphy told Campbell that he was going to call the police, and Campbell reportedly told him, "You'll ruin my life," said the report.
Pappas' involvement
Two hours after the ducks were hit, Sgt. Carlos Camacho received a call from Police Commissioner Pappas inquiring whether the department was looking to speak with Campbell. He was advised that yes, police were hoping to speak with Campbell, at which time Pappas described himself as a friend of Campbell, adding Campbell was at another friend's house with a dead cell phone.
"(Pappas) asked me if he could have Campbell come to the police department tomorrow to speak to Officer Michael Hatzipetros," Camacho wrote in the report. Camacho told Pappas that Campbell should call the department in the morning, since Hatzipetros works second shift.
According to the police report, Campbell spoke with police in the morning, telling them that he felt awful about what happened. He said that as he passed through the drop off area he saw the ducks, but that he "double tapped his brake to slow down, and that his foot slipped and hit his gas pedal by mistake."
Campbell added that he had two drinks during dinner, but said he should not have been drinking since he was taking antibiotics at the time. He admitted to calling Pappas, who he identified to police as his lawyer, who eventually gave Campbell a ride home.
The bartender who served Campbell corroborated that account, saying the state representative was served two drinks — a glass of wine and a glass of Patron along with a lobster roll — and did not appear to be intoxicated when he left.
When police contacted Pappas several days later to question him, Pappas — who was reappointed to another three year term by Hassan in September 2013 — told authorities that he has represented Campbell for many years.
"Commissioner Pappas further informed me that any conversation that occurred between him and Mr. Campbell on the night in question would be protected by attorney-client privilege," says the report.
Pappas did not return a phone call and email seeking comment.
Last week, Campbell pleaded no contest to killing the five ducks. He paid a fine of $620 for the violation, along with a $75 restitution payment to New Hampshire Fish and Game, says court records. Campbell also donated an additional $695 to New Hampshire Audubon.
He was charged with one count of illegal taking of waterfowl for the incident. The violation charge against Campbell, who is currently serving his seventh term in the House, is a noncriminal firstname.lastname@example.com

Record Description
Image Visibility
Whenever possible, FamilySearch makes images available for all users. However, ultimate rights to view images on our website are granted by the record custodians. The England, Kent, Land Tax Assissments collection is available to the Family History Library, FamilySearch Centers, and to members of the supporting organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
This Collection will include records from 1689 to 1832.
The collection consists of land tax assessments for the County of Kent.
The Land Tax was first regularly imposed in in 1697, (based on a 1692 assessment) the first records from 1698 were early and defective attempts at compiling records and few survive nationally; the Kent collection illustrates this in isolated places. Anomalies arose, leaving rural areas too heavily taxed compared with the new industrial districts. In 1772, the returns were altered to incorporate a list of all occupiers of land in each parish.
In 1780, duplicates had to be lodged with the Clerk of the peace, in order to establish the qualification to vote in parliamentary elections.
In 1782, a further column was added to show the proprietor of each building. These deposited records continue until 1832.
In 1826, until abolition of the tax in 1832 a further column was added to describe the property on which the tax was levied.
Documents consist of Assessments and Returns; the former show assessed value of the land, the latter the amounts actually collected. The clerks are known to reverse columns so the record can be misleading because columns for proprietors and tenants can be reversed and it is therefore advisable to search previous and subsequent years for comparison and to detect such errors in compilation.
In 1798, landowners were allowed to buy themselves out of liability by a lump sum of 15 years purchase, but until 1832 "exonerated" owners appear in the lists; "Exonerated holdings" from 1798 until about 1815 are usually found at the end of the parish return.
The records from 1780 were stored in the county record office, usually in annual volumes or 'bundles' with parishes grouped in the Hundreds of Kent.
Kent also has a number of boroughs which are part of the Ancient Hundreds. A reliable contemporary account to assist in identifying these boroughs which may overlap Ancient and Ecclesiastical Parishes is Edward Hasted's History and Topographical Survey of Kent published between 1797 and 1801. The FamilySearch image collection may present more than one series of images for a parish if the hamlet or borough sub-divisions overlap parishes.
It is worth also considering The National Archive collection under reference IR23 which contains a copy of the Land Tax Assessments for the whole country for 1798 and may be useful as a locator for Proprietors, occupiers and Sums assessed only but can help locate the whereabouts at the turn of the century of people. A further search in the county, hundred and parish and sub-division for boroughs and hamlets may then enable the person to be traced over several years.

How to Use the Records
Whenever possible, FamilySearch makes images available for all users. However, ultimate rights to view images on our website are granted by the record custodians. The Kent, Land Tax Assessments collection is available to the Family History Library, FamilySearch Centers, and to members of the supporting organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The images can be viewed at a FamilySearch Center near you.
Beginning Your Search
To begin your search, it would be helpful to know the following information:
- Name
- Parish of residence
Searching the Images
To search the collection, select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page ⇒ Select the County ⇒ Select the Parish ⇒ Select the Event Type and Year Range (with Volume) which takes you to the images.
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details such as a title, an occupation, or land ownership. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors.
- Use these records to find male ancestors (and some female, where no male head of house existed). The records will reveal where they lived and clues to their lifestyle.
- Use the place and names to locate census records for the 1841 census. Census records are taken every ten years. The first to list names was in 1841. If you can locate settled occupancy in 1832 it may be possible to locate an entry in the census in 1841; FamilySearch has census indexes refer to the parish census records paragraph for further information.
- For additional information on censuses of England see the wiki article England Census.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Titles may be clues to property ownership, occupations, rank or status within the community.
- If your ancestor was both the landlord and occupier, they generally owned the land.
- If the property was an estate, there may be manorial records.
- If it was a business, there may be other commercial records.
- If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, check for nicknames and variant spellings or abbreviations of the names.

Woman assaulted, kidnapped with children
On Saturday, April 9, at about 11:15 p.m. Beaumont police officers responded to a reported disturbance at a residence in the 1700 block of Lucille.
When officers arrived, they spoke to the victim, a 23-year-old Beaumont woman. The woman said a 31-year-old Beaumont man she is acquainted with came to her residence in the 1700 block of Regent and assaulted her.
He then forced her to drive him and her children to a relative's residence in the 1700 block of Lucille. He told her to go in and get some money for him and threatened the children if she did not fully cooperate.
After she got some money for him he forced her to drive to the 3200 block of Elmira, where he got out and fled the scene on foot. Police are currently looking to get a warrant for the suspect at which time they are expected to release his name.
The victim knows the suspect but the character of their relationship is unknown.

About Me
I am a high school librarian and adjunct professor who grew up and lives in the great state of Texas. It seems that I am always planning our next Walt Disney World adventure, and when others ask if we are going "again," I simply explain that no two Walt Disney World vacations are the same, so for me it feels like a new experience each time.
About My Family
Fourteen years ago, I married my Prince Naveen, Anthony, and we have two wonderful children — one tween princess and one kindergarten prince. Each visit to Walt Disney World Resort has been made even more magical because of our children. We are raising a pair of "Disney fans" and it is so fun for us to engulf them in the magic as often as possible. To make each vacation special, I try to plan something different to make it special and memorable for each member of my family. That "something different" can come in the form of a surprise from Disney Floral & Gifts to tackling the famous Kitchen Sink dessert at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at Disney's Beach Club Resort.
About My Disney Experience
I admit I fell in love with the Mouse about 18 years before I got the chance to visit Walt Disney World for the first time. I remember sitting in front of the television at the age of 11 to watch the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade. At the time, it seemed it was an unattainable feat. But as luck would have it, I married a man who loves all-things-Disney and I was able to travel to Walt Disney World for the first time at the age of 29. That first time was so magical that I fell in love with Disney and fell in love with planning. Ever since, a Disney vacation is a common staple in our home, whether it is a quick weekend or an entire week. We have visited Disneyland Resort and cruised on Disney Cruise Line. We are Disney Vacation Club members and of course, we have taken countless trips to Walt Disney World Resort.

One of the most popular cookout weekends of the year is upon us. The Memorial Day holiday leads off summer's outdoor cooking season, followed by the Fourth of July and Labor Day, all in about three months. Those long weekends provide that critical extra day for cranking up the party around the grill.
If that kind of fun is in your future, you might appreciate one of today's recipes. My colleagues asked me to throw out a line for recipes for baked beans with brown sugar and no-mayonnaise potato salad and/or coleslaw.
Both are the comfort foods of cookouts for good reason. They are widely liked, go with about anything, can be made ahead and often have a grandmother's spoon in their past.
First responder Ron Pollitt of Kiawah Island writes, "Here are a few recipes for your colleagues looking for something different as Memorial Day fare. All three are good, but I'm partial to the French Country Potato Salad, mostly because it has a perfect blend of flavors and texture for my palate."
Ron shares a bit of context as well. "For what it's worth the German Potato Salad Family Recipe is only German because of its language origins. My maternal great-grandfather was a fiercely French but German-speaking Alsatian officer in the French Army, and when the French lost the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 he immigrated to the USA rather than live under the German Empire that annexed Alsace and Lorraine after the French defeat."
4 to 6 small-medium red potatoes
1 egg, hard cooked, peeled, and chopped
2 to 3 thick slices smoked bacon
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Black pepper to taste
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Boil or steam potatoes for 10-12 minutes. Cool and slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
Boil egg for 10-12 minutes. Cool, peel and chop. Fry bacon, reserving grease. Cool bacon and crumble into small pieces, then distribute over sliced potatoes. Combine bacon grease, vinegar, sugar, black pepper and water in a small pan and boil, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour mixture over potatoes, add egg and garnish with parsley, toss gently and serve.
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 spring onions, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 teaspoons drained capers, roughly chopped
Salt and black pepper
1 pound small red potatoes
Whisk first seven ingredients in large bowl to blend and add salt and pepper to taste. Cook potatoes in salted water at low boil for 10 minutes (longer for softer salad); drain. Return potatoes to pot, and place pot on low heat until all liquid evaporates. Cut warm potatoes into thick slices (to taste) and add to bowl with dressing. Toss gently to coat. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature and toss once again before serving. Keeps well in refrigerator, but must be returned to room temperature and tossed before serving.
1/2 small head cabbage
2 spring onions, finely sliced or 1 small onion finely diced
6 slices thick bacon, very lean
3½ teaspoons cider vinegar
3½ teaspoons water
2 teaspoons sugar, or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Celery seed to taste
Shred the cabbage, chop it rather fine, and add the onion. You should have 6-plus cups.
Fry the bacon until cooked through but not brittle. Remove the bacon, reserving the fat, and chop. Set aside.
Combine the bacon fat, vinegar, water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat, and add salt to taste. Pour the warm dressing over the shredded cabbage and onion just before serving and toss with the chopped bacon. Add black pepper to taste, sprinkle with celery seed, and toss again.
Lauri Bailey of Charleston also shared some recipes that she has made for years and says, "They have stood the test of time with family and friends alike."
Here's her go-to recipe for potato salad:
For vegetables:
3 pounds red potatoes, cubed, boiled and chilled until cold
Sliced celery to taste
Diced green pepper to taste
Diced red onion to taste
For dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
11/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
For garnish:
Freshly chopped parsley
Mix vegetables in a large bowl. Mix dressing and pour over. Stir to coat. Cover and chill overnight.
Top with chopped parsley before serving.
We also received recipes for baked beans from Judy Campbell and Cheryl Cote, both of Summerville.
Here is Judy's, which she says is best made in a slow cooker:
1 (151/2-ounce) can each: pork and beans (undrained); lima beans, kidney beans and butter beans (all drained)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard
6 slices bacon, browned and chopped
1 small onion, chopped and browned
Mix the beans together. Add remaining ingredients and stir together well.
Place in a casserole dish and bake 1 hour in a 350-degree oven or place in a slow cooker and cook uncovered 6 hours on low.
"Each time I take these baked beans to a function they disappear and everyone wants the recipe. The coleslaw is good for summer BBQs in our hot weather as it contains no mayonnaise."
1 (28-ounce) can B&M Baked Beans
1 (151/2-ounce) can lima beans, drained
1 (151/2-ounce) can butter beans, drained
1 (151/2-ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 medium onion, chopped
½ pound bacon, fried, drained and chopped or crumbled
1/3 cup vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
Minced garlic to taste
Mix all ingredients together in a casserole dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
8 cups shredded cabbage (1 large head)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1 cup salad (vegetable) oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon pepper
Alternate layers of cabbage, onions and green pepper in plastic bowl. Pour salad oil over.
Combine sugar, vinegar, salt, celery seed, dry mustard and pepper in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and drip the hot mixture over the cabbage and onions — DO NOT STIR.
Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or longer. Toss before serving.
How about baked beans with some novelty thrown in?
I spotted this recipe in the newly published "The Grilling Book — The Definitive Guide from Bon Appetit" (Andrews McMeel Universal, $45). This is a comprehensive, 432-page book to consider adding to your cookbook library — or perhaps your dad's.
8 servings
4 slices applewood-smoked bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
31/2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans (white kidney beans) rinsed, drained
11/2 cups root beer, preferably artisanal
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons tomato paste
11/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook bacon in a large, ovenproof pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels.
Add onions to drippings in pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; stir for 1 minute. Add beans, root beer, vinegar, molasses, mustard, tomato paste, chili powder, salt and pepper; mix well. Stir in bacon; bring to a boil.
Transfer to oven; bake uncovered until liquid thickens, about 30 minutes.

Table 1 summarises 21 studies in children classified by the study design. Nine of these gave results consistent with statistically significant attenuation of growth in height on stimulants and 12 had negative findings. In addition to these there were studies by Safer and colleagues
Easy Long Sleeve Top Back Logo Print Exclusive to ASOS In Pink Evening sand pink The North Face Cheap The Cheapest Cheap Sale Huge Surprise Wiki For Sale 2018 For Sale 7ZIEGz6
and Klein and colleagues KNITWEAR Jumpers Offwhite Cheap UiimU
showing rebound growth on ceasing medication, implying that on medication growth had been attenuated.
Summary of the methodology and results of 21 stimulant growth studies in children
The dose of methylphenidate or methylphenidate equivalent (calculated by doubling the dose of dexamphetamine) for the nine studies in table 1 showing statistically significant attenuation ranged from 21.6 to 42 mg (median 31.4 mg). For the 12 studies with negative findings, the range for the nine which specified mean dosage was 18.4–34 mg (median 23.9 mg). Studies using lower doses of methylphenidate
KNITWEAR Cardigans Nice Things Fashion Style rtgBsy
9 (20 mg/day or less) did not show a significant effect on growth in height. The studies that analysed dexamphetamine 1, 12 showed more attenuation in the first year than studies that combined both stimulants during analysis or used only methylphenidate.
There was considerable variation in the parameters used for analysing growth, making it difficult to compare the results of the different studies. The most frequently used method that consistently indicated attenuated growth in height and was possible to compare between studies was the height deficit. A height deficit of 3 cm means that the child is 3 cm shorter than he would be if he had continued to grow at the expected rate. The height deficit can be calculated from the change in centile, the change in z-score, or in a clinical setting it can be estimated directly from the growth chart. The early study by Spencer and colleagues 4 showed that the change in height z-score and the height deficit are more sensitive parameters for monitoring growth than the change in height centile, a method which distorts the data due to the non-linear relation between change in height and change in centile.
The most sensitive design was the longitudinal study analysing paired observations taken before and after an initial period of treatment with stimulant medication. Table 1 indicates that half (8/16) of the studies with this methodology showed attenuated growth on stimulants by at least one method, most reliably the change in height z-score (significant in 3/3). The height deficit reached statistical significance in 5 of the 6 studies with sufficient detail for a p value.
The study with the most scientifically rigorous methodology was the MTA study
Cheap Amazon DRESSES Short dresses Gil Santucci Free Shipping Outlet Store Buy Cheap Pay With Paypal t6vIUgszB
in which children with ADHD were allocated at random into different treatment groups. The children who received stimulant medication had an average height deficit of 0.9 cm/year during the first 14 months and 1.04 cm/year from 14–24 months when compared with children whose treatment was non-pharmacological. Four other studies compared treated children with control groups consisting either of untreated children with ADHD 1, CLUTCH TANK TOPWEAR Tops Alala For Cheap Buy Cheap Genuine Cheap Footlocker YtYb5koF0
or normal children. COATS amp; JACKETS Jackets Colmar Countdown Package Online 57cNb7Pev
5 Three of the four studies with this design showed height attenuation by at least one method in at least one treatment group. The fourth, by Kalachnik and colleagues, 3 calculated the projected adult stature using the Roche–Wainer–Thissen formula and analysed changes in this projection after 1–3 years of treatment. The formula takes into consideration mid-parental stature, and child's weight and recumbent length, with regression coefficients for each of these which change with every six month age bracket. As a method for monitoring growth, this would not only add variability to the data due to the changing coefficients, but would also systematically undervalue attenuation of growth in height occurring in the presence of weight loss or poor weight gain. Both of these problems would increase the likelihood of failing to detect a significant effect (type II error).
Smart conversation from the National Constitution Center
April 23, 2018 by Akhil Amar
April 23 marks the birthday of James Buchanan, the man regarded by many historians as one of the worst—if not the worst—presidents of all time. So what did Buchanan do to earn the disrespect of so many people?
Today, most people know Buchanan for three things: He was single for his entire presidency; he's the only president from Pennsylvania; and he was the president before Abraham Lincoln. It's that final point that has been the lasting part of the Buchanan presidency, with his apparent indifference to the onset of the Civil War, that has riled up so many people.
Of course, Lincoln was a hard act to precede or follow: Lincoln's successor Andrew Johnson is usually cast as Buchanan's biggest rival for the title of worst president (along with the scandal-plagued Warren Harding from the early 1920s). Buchanan came to the presidency under somewhat traditional but trying circumstances.
Buchanan was a five-time member of the House of Representatives, the secretary of state under President James Polk, and the U.S. minister to Great Britain. At the Democratic convention in Cincinnati in 1856, Buchanan took the lead from the incumbent president, Franklin Pierce, on the first ballot and then battled Senator Stephen Douglas from Illinois for the presidential nomination Buchanan won on the 17th ballot and defeated John C. Fremont, of the newly formed Republican Party, in the 1856 presidential election.
It was all downhill from there for President Buchanan. Buchanan became severely ill and almost died from an illness that was
New Arrival Sale Online Free Shipping Clearance Store Essential Top YOGA TOP by VIDA VIDA 100% Authentic Cheap Price Geniue Stockist For Sale Nicekicks Sale Online ambjfp3gp
in Washington, where he traveled for meetings as president-elect.
In his inaugural address, Buchanan called the territorial issue of slavery "happily, a matter of but little practical importance." He had been tipped off about the Supreme Court's decision in the case, which came shortly after the inauguration. Buchanan supported the theory that states and territories have a right to determine if they would allow slavery. (There were also reports Buchanan may have influenced the court's ruling.) The Dred Scott decision angered and solidified Buchanan's Republican opponents, and it drove a wedge into the Democratic Party. The country also went into an economic recession as the Civil War approached.
By 1860, it was apparent that Buchanan wasn't going to be a candidate for re-election. At the Democratic convention, he managed to derail Douglas' campaign to be the sole nominee who would take on Abraham Lincoln. (Douglas defeated Lincoln in the 1858 senate election in Illinois.) The Democrats were left with two presidential nominees (Douglas and John Breckinridge), which almost ensured Lincoln's election.
Within three months after the election, seven states had left the Union as Buchanan remained as a lame-duck president until Lincoln could take office in March 1861. In
DENIM Denim trousers John Varvatos 100% Guaranteed kRbAi947
, Buchanan said he believed the South's secession wasn't legal, but the federal government didn't have the power to stop it.
"All for which the slave States have ever contended, is to be let alone and permitted to manage their domestic institutions in their own way. As sovereign States, they, and they alone, are responsible before God and the world for the slavery existing among them. For this the people of the North are not more responsible and have no more fight to interfere than with similar institutions in Russia or in Brazil," Buchanan said.
Buchanan also explained why he wasn't actively involved in the secession battle as president. "It is beyond the power of any president, no matter what may be his own political proclivities, to restore peace and harmony among the states. Wisely limited and restrained as is his power under our Constitution and laws, he alone can accomplish but little for good or for evil on such a momentous question."
Buchanan had other issues during his presidency, including an obsession with Cuba and a controversy involving a war with Mormon settlers in the Utah territory.He has been ranked among the three worst presidents in every poll and survey conducted since 1948 and in the past decade, and replaced Harding as the usual last-place finisher in these studies.
Buchanan retired to his estate in central Pennsylvania and lived to see the end of the Civil War. Just before his death in 1868, he said, "History will vindicate my memory from every unjust aspersion."

End-of-summer getaways for families
A missive in my e-mail box the other day warned: "Summer's not half over … it's just warming up!" The note from Clevelands House — a family friendly resort on Muskoka's Lake Rosseau — got me thinking: Why not savour the end of summer by listing a mash-up of all things fun still in the offing for families?
Clevelands House
As part of its "Just Warming Up" campaign, "Cleves" is offering 15% off family stays through the end of summer. Activities for kids include a day camp, four heated pools, three meals per day and tennis galore. See clevelandshouse.com.
Skywalk Niagara
Skywalker Jay Cochrane — known as Canada's Prince of the Air — is performing daily building-to-building highwire walks in Niagara Falls through the remainder of the summer. Every night at 7 p.m., weather permitting, Cochrane crosses from the top of the Niagara Fallsview Hilton Hotel North Tower to the top of the Skylon Tower, a distance of 400 metres some 177 metres above the ground. See visitniagaracanada.com.
Resorts of Ontario
This association website lists daily bargains on summer stays at Ontario resorts, including cottages, lodges and country inns outside Toronto, Ottawa and Niagara. Recent deals include five-night Time Out For Families cottage rentals ($899) at Scotsman Point near Lakefield, and a kids-stay-free, end-of-summer deal at Severn Lodge in the Georgian Bay/Muskoka corridor. See resortsofontario.com.
Blue Mountain
In its most aggressive summer expansion yet, Collingwood's Blue Mountain has introduced four new 2012 summer attractions: The Timber Challenge High Ropes, Woodlot Low Ropes, Cascade Putting Course and Mountaintop Segway Tours. The Resort has also partnered with Earth Rangers, bringing wild animal ambassadors to Blue Mountain every weekend through August. Blue also has mountainside slide ride called the Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster, a mountain bike park, and an open-air gondola. See bluemountain.ca.
Thunderbird Twin Zip
Also in the Collingwood area, Scenic Caves Nature adventures has just launched a new Thunderbird Twin Zip Line, a 100-metre double zipline that careens down the Niagara Escarpment at speeds of 65 km/h — the longest of its kind in Canada. See sceniccaves.com.
Geology tours
In eastern Ontario, Bonnechere Caves near Eganville is guiding adventures into 500-million-year-old caves that were once at the bottom of a tropical sea. Its Recreational Geology tours take families deep into a cave system filled with stalactites (rock icicles), and where limestone walls encase ancient coral and sea creatures. See ontarioshighlands.ca/things-to-do/geology.
Hike Haliburton
The 10th-annual High Haliburton Festival is scheduled for the very end of summer, Sept. 20-23. Families are encouraged to pre-register for free guided hikes along Haliburton's public trails. Hikes range in length from 1-15 km. See haliburtonholidays.com/fall/hikehaliburton.asp.
Nature lessons
Through the end of summer, Ontario Parks are running Natural Heritage Education (NHE) programs for kids. Led by trained outdoor educators, kids play in safe park settings, hang out on park beaches, swim in northern lakes, map out constellations in the night sky, and embark on wolf howls and owl prowls. The price for kids participating in an NHE program is included in the cost of a day or overnight Ontario Parks permit. For a list of provincial parks that offer Natural Heritage Education, use the locator tool on the Ontario Parks website at parkreports.com/locator/search_results.php.
Labour Day Weekend
The Aug. 31 to Sept. 3 long weekend looms as the finale to the kids' summer holidays. There are several Labour Day weekend festivals scheduled to get their minds off returning to school. Among them: Niagara Falls Busker Festival in Niagara Falls, Shelter Valley Folk Festival in Grafton, Canada's Largest Ribfest in Burlington, Bayfest at Port Rowan and Long Point, and the Paris Fall Fair in Paris, Ont.

The Gastroenterology Section performs research studies on the neuroendocrine hormonal regulation of digestion in healthy and disease states in both the laboratory and at the bedside through clinical research protocols.
In addition, the section (1) oversees the clinical and research training of second and third year fellows leading to Board Certification in Gastroenterology and (2) is responsible for the gastroenterology clinical consultation service for the NIH Clinical Research Center.
The major laboratory areas of interest are (1) gastrointestinal (GI) endocrine hormone/receptor molecular interaction and intracellular signaling; (2) the molecular basis for the chemosensation of ingested nutrients such as amino acids, glucose, calcium, hydrogen ions, and fatty acids by G protein-coupled receptors expressed on enteroendocrine cells resulting in hormone (e.g., gastrin and cholecystokinin) and acid secretion; and (3) development of the enteroendocrine cell lineage and fate using a variety of transgenic mice and cultured small intestinal organoids.
The major translational clinical research interests include: (1) discovery and clinical description of the natural history of a familial form of serotonin secreting neuroendocrine carcinoid tumors; (2) familial carcinoid tumor genetic linkage analysis and molecular genetics to identify causal mutations in affected families; (3) the carcinogenesis of small intestinal carcinoid tumors from crypt based enterochromaffin cells; (4) chemotherapy of type II gastric carcinoids using a gastrin receptor (CCK2R) antagonist, YF-476; and (5) development of a novel, non-invasive method of determining the level of gastric acid secretion necessary to monitor response to acid suppression therapy in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and acid hypersecretory states (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
Robert T. Jensen, M.D.
The Gastrointestinal Cell Biology Section conductions studies on the cellular basis of action of GI hormones, as well as clinical and laboratory studies on human gastric acid hypersecretory states (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). In the area of GI hormones, research primarily focuses on bombesin-related peptides, the gastrin-releasing peptide, neuromedin B, CCK-related peptides, and VIP-secretin related peptides. These studies examine intracellular signaling cascades, especially tyrosine phosphorylation (primarily CCK, Bombesin), and the molecular pharmacology of their receptors (especially Bombesin related peptides). The Section also conducts structure-function studies of various receptor ligands, with the aim of developing selective agonists and antagonists. Laboratory studies characterize the bombesin-related receptor, BRS-3, and develop ligands to deliver receptor-specific chemotherapy to tumors ectopically expressing these receptors. Clinical studies of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome include the diagnosis, localization, and treatment of the gastrinoma, as well as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, which occurs in a proportion of these patients. Accompanying laboratory studies characterize the molecular pathogenesis of gastrinomas and identify prognostic factors.
Mark A. Levine, M.D.
The Molecular and Clinical Nutrition Section determines optimal nutrition in health, disease, and disease treatment using vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as a model nutrient. Research examines how specific nutrient function occurs in relation to nutrient concentration, in vitro (in cells and organelles) and in vivo (animals and people). Work focuses on a functional basis for nutrient recommendations, rather than reliance on preventing deficiency, which agencies have used for many years. Many countries now base Recommended Dietary Allowances for vitamin C, in part, on this work.
Specific projects encompass basic, translational, and clinical research in the following areas: ascorbic acid function in relation to concentration in cells and subcellular organelles; ascorbic acid transport and accumulation mechanisms; ascorbic acid pharmacokinetics (dose concentration relationships) in animals and people; pharmacologic ascorbic acid as a pro-drug for hydrogen peroxide formation in vivo and for treatment of cancer and infectious diseases; ascorbic acid and free radical biology; and the regulation of glucose transport in vitro and in vivo.

The California Army National Guard's 40th Combat Aviation Brigade got its first female commander Saturday.
Col. Laura L. Yaeger was installed as commander of the unit at an afternoon change of command ceremony at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos.
She replaces Col. Mitchell K. Medigovich, who served as the unit's commander during its recent deployment to Iraq. Medigovich and his soldiers were among the final U.S. troops to leave that country.
He moves on to become the California National Guard's joint chief of staff.
Under federal military rules, women are technically not allowed in actual combat. But Yaeger will command the 40th Combat Aviation Brigade, which has in Iraq and elsewhere seen actual combat.

NH Senate passes expanded sports concussion legislationBy GARRY RAYNO
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 19. 2013 4:12AM
CONCORD - State lawmakers did not wait long to expand a new law requiring school districts to develop guidelines for dealing with concussions.
The Senate Thursday passed House Bill 180, which changes the definition of "student-athlete" and "student sports" under the new program.
The current law requires school districts to distribute information on the risk and nature of concussions to coaches, students, athletes and their parents.
Under the law, a student-athlete who shows symptoms of a concussion or who a coach, trainer or other party suspects has sustained a concussion must be removed from a game or practice. The student can then return to action only with the permission of a health-care provider.
Under HB 180, the age range for student-athletes would include grades 4 through 12, rather than the current 9 through 12. In addition, the definition of "student sports" would be expanded to include intramurals as well as interscholastic athletics.
The bill is now before Gov. Maggie Hassan.

In the classic BattleTech board game, as well as in most other games set in the BattleTech universe, the main gameplay takes place on a mapsheet with hexagonal playing fields. Typically, two mapsheets would be included with every boxed set. Sets with other playing maps were later produced as game supplementals.
- 1 Mapsheet
- 2 Map Sets
- 3 Map Pack: Solaris VII
- 4 HexPacks
- 5 MapPacks
- 6 Other maps
- 7 German map sets
- 8 References
MapsheetBattleDroids edition through to the latest editions, though there have been cosmetic changes. The printed size of a standard mapsheet is 22 inches by 18 inches (not 22 by 17 as many rulebooks suggest).[1]
This basic mapsheet, two of which are included in each boxed set, is a standardized size and has an addressing scheme printed on the map in a staggered row and column format. There are fifteen columns, 01XX through 15XX, and there are nominally 17 rows, XX01 through XX17. Additionally there is an unaddressed half hex column on the sides of the mapsheet that make up a "sixteenth column" when multiple mapsheets are tiled. On a standard mapsheet the hex size as originally printed is approximately 1.25 inches and depicts terrain 30 meters (roughly 100 feet) across. As published, BattleTech mapsheets have terrain, including vegetation, hydrologic features and topography marked. The flipside was a blank hex board in earlier editions; such blank playing fields are not considered tournament-legal maps though.[citation needed]
Under standard rules the mapsheet is also referred to as a unit of distance with the range of artillery pieces being originally expressed in terms of the number of mapsheets (or "boards") a given unit could fire[2]. On the AeroTech low altitude map each hex is stated to correspond with a a mapsheet at the ground level[3]. Total Warfare provides rules how maps may (or may not) be placed to form bigger playing fields, and provides that in the absence of actual mapsheets (e.g. when playing on other hex terrain), one "board" translates as 17 hexes for determining range.
Other board games in the BattleTech universe have generally used mapsheets that are printed to the same size hex size as the original mapsheet, even though other games have represented different distances per hex: The mapsheets included with BattleForce originally represented 180m per hex[4] compared to the 30m per hex of standard BattleTech. The BattleForce mapsheet is a double size mapsheet, being exactly twice the width, in hexes, of the standard BattleTech mapsheet, with columns from 01XX to 32XX. Similarly, the mapsheets in the Solaris VII game represent only 7.5m of ground distance, a quarter of the scale of standard BattleTech. Nonetheless, as the hexes are printed to the same size on paper and use the same map symbology the maps can be used interchangeably between these various BattleTech scales. BattleTroops was one notable departure from this printing convention, instead using a layout of points in a triangular (or arguably hexagonal) pattern rather than a hex-grid[5]. The original AeroTech map was another departure, being printed on a half inch hex-grid rather than the one and a quarter inch grid in BattleTech for both an outer space map and a low altitude map.
Up until 1988 (i.e. up until the first edition of Map Set 2) the BattleTech maps were printed on thick cardboard similar to the maps included with the BattleTech 2nd Edition and CityTech boxed sets.
Starting with the second edition of Map Set 2 (1991) and the BattleTech, Third Edition (1992) boxed set, maps were printed on thinner paper. This allowed maps to be included in some sourcebooks, too (see Other maps below).
The 25th Anniversary Introductory Box Set and Hex Pack: Lakes and Rivers were the first products to feature a new generation of thick, vinyl covered double-sided map boards from 2010 onwards.
From 2002 until 2008 the various game supplementals, including map sets, were produced under the "Classic BattleTech" moniker to differentiate them from supplements for the "MechWarrior: Dark Age" brand. Afterwards, the line reverted back to just "BattleTech".
Map Sets
A number of Map Sets and Map Set Compilations were published as supplements for the game, providing additional gaming maps with new hex-based terrain. In Germany, Map Sets 2 through 5 (with translated map markings) were sold as GeoTech I through IV by FanPro.

Map Pack: Solaris VII
- (see Mappack: Solaris VII for full article)
Besides being a compilation of previously published maps for various Solaris Games Dueling Arenas, for play under either Solaris-style 'Mech Duel Rules or classic BattleTech (board game) rules, the pack includes a sourcebook section detailing the gaming world and some of its stables. Special rules are provided for playing on certain maps.
The complete set of Solaris arena maps was included in the free PDF product, Experimental Technical Readout: Royal Fantasy.Maps included:
The first HexPack (occasionally also spelled as two words, "Hex Pack") was released in 2010 and heralded a new style for maps, which were now printed on thick, double-sided gameboard-style cardboard with vinyl covering, with different maps printed on the two sides. In addition, punchout map pieces of various sizes are included to modify the maps as well as a booklet with scenarios and rules expansions for the basic game from Tactical Operations. (The BattleTech 25th Anniversary Introductory Box Set may have been intended to be the first product featuring these improved maps, but its release was delayed until 2011 by other issues.)
Hex Pack: Lakes and Rivers
- (see HexPack: Lakes and Rivers for full article)
Maps included: River Valley, Large Lakes #2 (flip-sided).
Hex Pack: Cities and Roads
- (see HexPack: Cities and Roads for full article)
Maps included: City (Skyscraper), City (Hills/Residential) #1 (flip-sided).
Hex Pack: Mountains and Canyons
- (see HexPack: Mountains and Canyons for full article)
Maps included: Large Mountain #1, Deep Canyon #1 (flip-sided).
In early 2013 Catalyst Game Labs began publishing the MapPack series, PDF editions of previously published maps. Using the original map sheet art, and sized for compatibility with the original printed sheets and newer Hex Packs alike, they are meant as a PDF game aid to be printed out as required. Besides six individual maps, the MapPack Flatlands Terrain Set was published that combined those six maps for a lower price. Three months later five more maps and the MapPack Hill Terrain Set (including the five new maps and the Desert Hills map that had already been part of the previous set) were published.
Other maps
Beyond the boxed sets and dedicated map packs, some other individual products include boardgame map sheets with hexes. Beyond these it should be noted that some products like the Turning Points series typically include maps such as individual planetary maps for the worlds featured.
BattlePack: Fourth Succession War
The "Woodland" map was first published with BattlePack: Fourth Succession War in 1998 before it was included in Map Set #6 two years later.
Luthien scenario pack
The Luthien (scenario pack) from 1993 included a loose double-sided map. One side depicted part of Imperial City, the other Kado-guchi Valley. The latter was the site of a large battle and is meant for playing on a different scale akin to BattleForce.
Renegade Legion
FASA had another successful hex-based wargame, Renegade Legion, that used similar maps to BattleTech to the point where the first map sets were advertised as supplementals for both game lines simultaneously, in the fashion of a shared product. Conversely, some Renegade Legion products contain mapsheets that were never officially published for BattleTech, but can be used for BattleTech nonetheless.
Casus Belli magazine
The French gaming magazine Casus Belli, who had ties to the official publisher of the French edition of BattleTech (Jeux Descartes), published a BattleTech map in 1994 that is copyrighted to the magazine, but matches the style found in other BattleTech maps. The map is marked "©Casus Belli 1994 Carte concue par Michal Salicetto, dessin Bernard Bittler BATTLETECH est un jeu édité par Jeux Descartes sous licence FASA". Since this product was not published directly by a BattleTech IP owner or licensee, its status as an official product is arguable.
German map sets
German BattleTech licensee FanPro (who would later also be the game's english-language publisher for a time) reproduced the Map Sets 2 through 5 and sold them as GeoTech I through IV between 1993 and 1997. A first, unnumbered GeoTech set is said to have been published in 1990 containing a (German) BattleTech rulebook and the River Valley, Desert Hills and Industrial maps, i.e. roughly equivalent to Map Set 1.[citation needed]
BattleTech Kartensets
German BattleTech licensee Ulisses Spiele published a range of map sets ("BattleTech Kartensets") in 2014, both as a physical product and as a downloadable PDF. The physical maps are thick cardboard maps akin to those from the latest boxed sets and Hex Packs, with one of the classic game maps printed on either side. The maps retained their english names, but the markings on the maps are in German. Unlike the Hex Packs they feature no additional content beyond a single map piece each. The maps are:
- Kartenset 1: Battleforce & Scattered Woods
- Kartenset 2: Desert Hills & Rolling Hills 1
- Kartenset 3: Open Terrain 1 & City Ruins
- Kartenset 4: Woodland & Box Canyon
- Kartenset 5: Open Terrain 2 & CityTech Map
- Kartenset 6: River Valley & Rolling Hills 2
BattleTech Starterbox
In 2017 Ulisses Spiele released a new, original BattleTech Starterbox boxed set (not to be confused with the previous "Einsteigerbox"). It contains two all-new mapsheets in the new thick cardboard style of the HexPacks and Kartensets that were designed specifically for this product, labelled "Mine" and "Country Side 3":

California, whose green ambitions helped the solar and wind industries take root, is taking an essential next step by proposing a sharp rise in energy storage to better integrate renewable power with the rest of the grid.
Power from sun and wind fluctuates dramatically, so capturing it for later use makes the supply more predictable.
"We can't just rely on sunlight," Governor Jerry Brown told the Intersolar conference in San Francisco last month. "We've got to bottle the sunlight."

What's New in the World of Tile: Patterns
Last week I had the opportunity to attend Coverings, the annual show featuring tile and stone from all over the world. I've separated my favorite tile finds into two groups — tiles with interesting patterns, and tiles with fascinating texture. First, the patterns:
1. From Aparici, a modern take on traditional tile, in black and white and a myriad of patterns. From the Moving collection.
2. A fun twist on traditional encaustic tiles, also from Spanish maker Aparici. The design is printed onto the surface, giving it more of a modern feel. These tiles, from the Vanguard series, are quite large, about 12" wide.
3. I love the look of these more traditional tiles, crafted by Aguao tile in the Dominican Republic. These would be really striking as a counterpoint to an industrial kitchen. (Warning: their website makes really loud noises.)
4 & 5. If you like gingham, you'll love this gingham tile from Lamosa.
6. The Italian take on traditional-tiles-with-a-modern-twist, from Refin.
7 & 8. I saw a lot of this - tile patterned to look like wood. It's very realistic -you have to look closely to see that it's not the real thing. This sort of thing is very popular in Europe, because you can place it above an under-floor heating system in situations where real wood wouldn't hold up as well. This tile, called 'Madera,' is from Vitromex.
9 & 10. A humorous, almost cartoony take on the tile-that-looks-like-wood, from the Spaniards over at Tau.

Hot Webinar: 12 Ways Hackers Get Around Two-Factor Authentication and How to Defend It
Redmond magazine executive Jeff Schwartz shot me over link what is purported to be the first real review of a Microsoft Surface machine running Windows 8 RT. Being curious, I took a look hoping to have intelligent things to say about these units in the future. Heck, this may be your next computer.
From the TechRadar "review" I learned a bit about the hardware itself, which seems pretty slick. And judging from all the sweetness, it might hit your budget a bit hard, but that's just conjecture.
Unfortunately I didn't get any feel for the operation or get to the soul of the machine. I wanted to know what it feels like to use this machine, what the experience is like. What the review lacks is an analysis of the software -- kind of like testing a car without driving it.
For those who don't need the satisfaction of a full review, feel free to head here.
