The deathstalker (Leiurus quinquestriatus), is a species of scorpion, a member of the Buthidae family. It is also known as Palestine yellow scorpion,[1][2][3][4] Omdurman scorpion, Israeli desert scorpion and numerous other colloquial names, which generally originate from the commercial captive trade of the animal. To eliminate confusion, especially with potentially dangerous species, the scientific name is normally used to refer to them. The name Leiurus quinquestriatus roughly translates into English as "five-striped smooth-tail". Other species of the genus Leiurus are often referred to as "deathstalkers" as well.
L. quinquestriatus is yellow in color, and measures 30–77 millimetres (1.2–3.0 in) long, with an average of 58 mm (2.3 in).[5]
Geographic range
L. quinquestriatus can be found in desert and scrubland habitats ranging from North Africa through to the Middle East. Countries where it lives include Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Mali, Niger, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Qatar, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
The deathstalker is regarded as a highly dangerous species because its venom is a powerful mixture of neurotoxins, with a low lethal dose.[6] While a sting from this scorpion is extraordinarily painful, it normally would not kill an otherwise healthy adult human. However, young children, the elderly, or infirm (such as those with a heart condition or those who are allergic) would be at much greater risk. Any envenomation runs the risk of anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to the venom. If a sting from Leiurus quinquestriatus does prove fatal, the cause of death is usually pulmonary edema. It is the 3rd most venomous scorpion in the world. The German pharmaceutical company Twyford[7] and the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi Pasteur[8] both make an antivenom intended for the treatment of deathstalker envenomations; additionally, the Antivenom and Vaccine Production Center in Riyadh also produces an antivenom.[9] However, even with antivenom treatment, envenomation by the deathstalker is considered a medical emergency as its venom is unusually resistant to treatment and typically requires large doses of antivenom.[10]
In the United States and other countries outside of the typical range of the deathstalker, there is the additional complicating factor that none of the existing antivenoms are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (or equivalent agencies) and are only available as investigational drugs. The US Armed Forces maintains an Investigational drug (IND) application[11] for the AVPC-Riyadh antivenom in the event of envenomation of soldiers in the Gulf War theater of operations, and the Florida Antivenin Bank maintains an IND application for Sanofi Pasteur's Scorpifav antivenom.[12]
One component of the deathstalker's venom, the peptide chlorotoxin, has shown potential for treating human brain tumors.[13] There has also been some evidence to show that other components of the venom may aid in the regulation of insulin and could be used to treat diabetes.
Neurotoxins in L. quinquestriatus venom include:
- Chlorotoxin
- Charybdotoxin
- Scyllatoxin
- Agitoxins type 1, 2 and 3
Jurisdictions are increasingly including L.quinquestriatus in laws requiring permits to keep exotic animals or restricting ownership of "dangerous" exotics, and in some cases have outlawed the keeping of L.quinquestriatus save by licensed zoos and educational facilities. A number of state and provincial departments of fish and wildlife require exotic animal permits,[14] and a number of cities and municipal governments have prohibited their ownership in their bylaws prohibiting ownership of dangerous exotics.[15][16][17][18][19] Ownership of L.quinquestriatus may be broadly illegal in South Africa under laws prohibiting the ownership of dangerous animals.[20]There are legal aspects regarding keeping of L.quinquestriatus. In the UK a licence is required under the 1976 Dangerous Wild Animals act.

Department of Business and Professional Regulation Sweeps Tampa for Unlicensed Low Voltage Electrical Contractors
March 3, 2010
TAMPA—Yesterday, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation completed an unlicensed low voltage electrical contractor sweep, resulting in eight citations and one cease and desist. The unlicensed low voltage electrical contractors were issued citations for advertising to perform state regulated electrical services without a license.
"In my one-on-one meetings with consumers and citizens during 'On the Road 2 Better Business, Part 2' unlicensed activity has been the number one concern," said Interim Secretary Liem. "Unlicensed activity harms consumers and legitimately licensed professionals, and statewide enforcement operations are an effective way to combat and bring attention to this problem."
The Tampa sweep was part of DBPR's quarterly statewide unlicensed activity operation. This quarter, department investigators focused on low voltage electrical contracting based on tips Interim Secretary Liem received during "On the Road 2 Better Business, Part 2." A Limited Energy Systems Specialty Contractor's license is required to do low voltage electrical work, such as the installation of home theater and surround sound systems, wired computer networks, closed circuit televisions, electric locks and central vacuums. Investigators will also be checking Community Association Managers firm licenses to ensure compliance with a law enacted in 2009 that requires CAM businesses to be licensed.
Hiring an unlicensed individual can threaten the financial and personal safety of consumers, as well as the livelihood of state-licensed professionals. Unlicensed individuals may not carry workers' compensation or liability insurance, and consumers may end up paying for injuries on the job. Additionally, unlicensed individuals often underbid licensed professionals, which results in law-abiding professionals losing work to those who do not meet state licensure requirements.
Here are some tips to help consumers protect themselves against unlicensed activity:
• Always ask to see the State of Florida license.
• Note the license number and verify that the license is current. To check a license, call 850-487-1395 or visit MyFloridaLicense.com.
• Ask for references and check each one.
• Do not pay cash and be cautious of writing checks made payable to individuals, especially when dealing with a company.
• Get everything in writing, including a detailed description of the work to be completed, a completion date and the total cost.
• Report suspected unlicensed activity at MyFloridaLicense.com or toll-free at 1-866-532-1440.
The department's mission is to license efficiently and regulate fairly. The department licenses more than one million businesses and professionals ranging from real estate agents, veterinarians, and accountants to contractors and cosmetologists.

Forty years ago, on Easter Sunday 1970, David Borden and Steve Drews of Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co. – the world's first synthesizer ensemble –performed "Easter" (Borden's first tonal pulse-piece composed for the Moog) to audiences at Cornell University's Sage Chapel, in Ithaca, NY. They used the Mini Moog prototype, thanks to Bob Moog. It was the first ever public performance with the Mini Moog.
On April 17th, David Borden will be performing with Josh Oxford at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, CA, as part of the "Waves of Inspiration" exhibit — the first exhibit of artifacts from the Bob Moog's archives. Borden, on the MiniMoog Voyager, and Oxford, on the MiniMoog Model D, will perform Borden's landmark 1970 work "Easter" as well as his new composition "Dreams of Jimmy (in memory of Jimmy Guiffre)" The concert will be at 7pm.
Earlier on the 17th, at 1pm, Borden will lead a tour of the Moog exhibition with the exhibit's curator, Tatiana Sizonenko.
Learn more about the Borden concert and exhibition tour on April 17th here.

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993).
Numismatic Information
Hoard coins: Large quantities of 1902-S dollars were paid out from storage at the San Francisco Mint over a long period of years, with substantial releases occurring in the late 1920s, 1940s, and early 1950s, plus at other intervals. The Redfield estate (1976) is said to have had up to a bag of 1902-S dollars, most being either of MS-60 to MS-63 grade (per John Highfill) or of high quality (per Wayne Miller). Numismatically, 1902-S was never considered to be a rare date, even in the early years. However, today it is considered to be of medium scarcity.
Circulated grades: In worn grades the 1902-S is one of the more elusive issues in the Morgan series.
Mint State grades: Thousands of coins exist.
Most are in the lower ranges of MS-60 to 63, although 64s are not rare. MS-65 coins, if sharply struck, are surprisingly elusive, more so than realized as recently as the mid-1980s (before the launching of PCGS and NGC). In relatively recent years, 20-coin rolls have been a common sight at conventions. These usually contain coins in the MS-62 to 63 range, with some lower, but few higher. Now that the certification services have become so widely accepted, roll offerings of scarce Morgan dollars are fewer; many owners simply send such quantities to the services and let the chips fall where they may, hoping to get a few high-grade pieces out of the lot.
I estimate that 25,000 to 40,000 MS-60 to 62 coins exist, placing the 1902-S in the "scarce" class. MS-63 coins exist to the extent of 9,000 to 16,000 pieces, and only 4,000 to 8,000 MS-64 examples survive. Just 700 to 1,400 MS-65 pieces are known.
The typical 1902-S Morgan dollar is somewhat lightly struck. Lustre is satiny, sometimes "greasy," rarely deeply frosty. Some pieces show parallel striae on the planchet, a vestige of the drawing bench operation prior to coinage.
Prooflike coins: Prooflike examples are rare and are often on striated planchets. DMPL pieces are extremely rare and are likewise usually on defective planchets. As such pieces have low aesthetic appeal, demand is small.
Circulation strikes:
1. C-4 reverse hub over C-3: Breen-5694, VAM 3-8. Another instance of this over-hub, unknown a few decades ago, being plentiful today.
Circulation strikes:
1. Breen-5693, VAM-I, 2. Uncirculateds are usually weak and often on striated blanks. The "filled 2" coins (VAM-I, late) have die chipped between upper base and middle curve of 2.
Probably not all the 20 obverse dies and seven reverses prepared for 1902-8 dollars were used. As always, any unused reverses were probably saved for the next year.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 20; Reverse: 7.
Circulation strike mintage: 1,530,000; Delivery figures by month: January: none; February: none; March: none; April: none; May: none; June: none; July: none; August: none; September: 500,000; October: 510,000; November: 520,000; December: none.
Estimated quantity melted: Not known, but probably at least half of the mintage (approximately 750,000 coins) was destroyed under the 1918 Pittman Act.
Availability of prooflike coins: Very rare, but not desirable as most are on striated planchets.
Characteristics of striking: Varies from weak to sharp. Many Mint State pieces show heavy striations.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: Bags were released by the Treasury in the 1950s and in 1962-1964.
The 1902-S is about as scarce in worn grades as in Mint State.
Distribution of Dollars
The Annual Report of the Director of the Mint, 1902, told of the distribution of silver dollars: San Francisco: In mint June 30, 1901, 55,977,333; transferred from Treasury for storage, 150,000; coinage, fiscal year 1902, 436,000; total, 56,563,333; in mint June 30, 1902, 55,804,122; distributed from mint, 759,211.
Purchased directly from the San Francisco Mint in 10/1902 - J.M. Clapp Collection - J.H. Clapp Collection, sold intact in 1942 - Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection - Bowers & Merena 4/1997:2318, $11,000 - Bowers & Merena 1/1999:1314, $12,075 - Jack Lee Collection - Andy Hansen Collection - Heritage 6/2001:6647, $11,500 - Michael Casper Collection - Arno Collection - Heritage 1/2009:5065, $18,400 - Sunnywood/Simpson Collection - Legend 10/2014:217, $52,875

Sassy Blue
When it comes to putting unconventional colors in your hair it can look horrible if it's done properly especially blues. The colorist did an outstanding job on this washed out blue hairstyle which is really hard to achieve when playing with colors like this. What really helps this one out is the fact that there are some darker roots but also prior to applying the blue the hair colorist removed the color in her hair to get this beautiful platinum white as an undertone which really works well with any flashy colors.

NEWSHawkins Point Boat Ramp to Close for Renovations
October 21, 2004
MASSENA—The boat access ramp to the St. Lawrence River at Hawkins Point will be closed temporarily beginning Monday, Oct. 25, to allow for renovations.
Officials of the New York Power Authority, which is constructing a new visitors center at the Hawkins Point site, said work will also be done on a handicapped accessible fishing pier during the next month. Both the ramp improvements and the handicapped accessible pier are part of the recreational improvements included in the new license granted to the Power Authority last year by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The officials expect the work to last approximately four weeks.
Construction will also continue on the visitors center, which is expected to open in time for the 2005 tourism season.

Book Burning Party
May 23, 2012
Troy Public Library would close for good unless voters approved a tax increase. With little money, six weeks until the election, facing a well organized anti-tax group whod managed to get two previous library-saving tax increases to fail, we had to be bold. We posed as a clandestine group who urged people to vote to close the library so they could have a book burning party.

According to Jewish law, saving lives is supposed to be
According to Jewish law, saving lives is supposed to be the most important thing. The Israelis are too scared too scared to remember that.There are indeed many religious people in Israel and the US that are not part of the settler groups.
On the Arab side there is a great deal of antisemitism of Western origin now permeates the Arab world.

As i listened to this broadcast of two ordinary people
As i listened to this broadcast of two ordinary people trying to do extraordinary things in the name of peace, i wondered if we can use this example in the US to bring the Right, the Left and Independents together to change the tenor of the conversation in the US. I liked what Robie said about being pro one way or another and how the "taking of sides" is in itself so decisive (my words, not hers, but that is the message i took from what she said). I would love to connect with people who are interested in trying to bring these three groups together to have a civil discourse about how to make changes in the US.

Parents Circle is a brave and bold answer to killing. I
Parents Circle is a brave and bold answer to killing. I applaud Robi and Ali for their efforts.

As is so often the case when I listen to SOF, this broadcast held me captive. I was literally moved to tears by the courage and strength of these two people turning their pain into the strongest kind of peace. I have taken inspiration from their efforts. On a smaller scale, I have struggled to find a peaceful and productive solution for the intractable struggles between myself and my ex-husband. This struggle causes only pain for my children. I have taken inspiration from "No More Taking Sides" and I will think of this as I attempt to inject peace into my personal situation. This may sound mundane in comparison to the problems of a war zone but I believe that in order to produce adults who can create peace we need to be able to foster peace and love in our own homes.

Skip to comments.First gun-law flip flop? Long Island senator says SAFE Act a mistake
Posted on 03/01/2013 4:42:08 PM PST by Red in Blue PA
A Long Island Republican says his vote in favor of New Yorks new gun-control law was a mistake and is now co-sponsoring a bill to repeal it.
Freshman Sen. Phil Boyle, R-Suffolk County, issued a news release on Friday detailing his change of heart, criticizing the way the bill was rushed through the Legislature. The new lawknown as the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, or SAFE Actviolates the Second Amendment, Boyle claims.
From Boyles statement:
The so-called SAFE act was a mistake. Its passage lacked transparency and public input and its wording was ill-conceived and of questionable legality. Lawmakers ...
(Excerpt) Read more at blog.timesunion.com ...
Um....ya know what? If some RINO needs to vote YEA for a piece of Communist crap legislation before he realizes it was a mistake needs to either learn to read or get a frakkin' backbone. Either way, he is unfit to hold the office he was elected to.
Maybe zat fuhrer idea vasn't zo hot. - Alfred Krupp
Another scumbag politician trying to have it both ways.
He will be able to debate himself in the next election campaign.
A "mistake"? A mistake is dialing the wrong telephone number. You very purposely went along with this power grab.
Own it and burn, turd.
Anyone who votes for these treasonous (yes, treasonous) bills is not fit to hold office and should be run out of town on a rail. Vote yes to bills like this and you become the enemy forever.....no other way to say it.
I guess the putz had to pass it to find out what was in it.
Looks like his neighbors saw things differently.... what a dimwit....
Ain't no such thing as a legislative mulligan.
" Either way, he is unfit to hold the office he was elected to."
Agreed. If Boyle is trying to make amends for his useful idiot vote, he should be calling for the treason trial of the Nazi Cuomo.
People need to realize that sides are being chosen.
Either you got the kahones to confront the fat-ass, 80 IQ, 400-pound federal slugs or you don't.
Political theater. He delivered for his masters, and now he is testing to see how stupid his voters are. Probably as stupid as he takes them for.
Surely there is a TEA Party member who can run against this clueless Rep. If you can't understand the bill, check out who is supporting it. That ought to give you all the information you need.
Give him a break. A bill was rushed through in a nighttime session. He didn't have time to read it or even think about it. He barely had enough time to vote.
It's simple, Phil. You voted for it, you own it.
Wow! Are some finally figuring out that the Scam on Assault Weapons wasnt such a good idea and that there really isnt a massive groundswell to dispense with liberty?
what you said
"A Mistake!?"
Hey, Stupid! It WASN'T A MISTAKE, YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!
Then, you found out that you were a DUMB F***K who stampeded with the rest of the herd of lemmings, right over the cliff!
Now, after the fact, you want a redo! NO MULLIGANS IN POLITICS AHOLE.
You are TOO STUPID to stay in office.
bung faced mofo.
I met with him yesterday before the rally as did several other of his unhappy constituents. Nice enough guy. I hope he has gotten the message and will follow through. Time will tell.
Probably not seeing the light, just looking at the floor and sensing something...
Yep. When he's at lib and RINO events he can tout his vote for SAFE. When he tried to woo the conservatives he can (try to) point to this bill. Pathetic.
Precisely. This country doesn't need craven weathervane politicians! Those are Karl Rove politicians. It needs politicians with character who can be counted on to do the right thing.
Well, maybe not the hanging tree. Tar and feathering and riding out of town on a rail would be good, though.
Yet, despite all that, he voted for it. You think this indicates anything remotely approaching sound judgement on his part?
Could it be a blessing in disguise?
Maybe people will wake up and vote out these RiNO & Commie bastards.
That you, Karl?
Stupid A$$ F-——g Elitist Act, or SAFE Act
Why does every law have to have a convoluted acronym?
Consider WHERE the embattled farmer stood. Today they would stand while their "assault rifles" were confiscated and they would be jailed by the powers-that-be in Concord and Lexington, while liberals made fervent anti-gun speeches.
What an idiot.
The big angry town hall meetings that have been going on in NY the past few days is now spooking them.
Lance the Boyle.
"Another scumbag politician trying to have it both ways."
Just where does the GOP dig up these turds? This is about as inept a man as you could find!
"bung faced mofo."
Hey Çonrado, send this directly to this fecal matter. Just make sure you use a Zip code in his district. I do it all the time. For Texas congresscritters, I put down that I live in Swollen Groin, TX (thank you Jackie Gleason), but it still goes through!
It's New York. The state is covered with them.
Here's his bio ( lawyer, Mc Lame supporter, member of the Sierra Club
Yea, he's just the kind of "Republican" New Yorkers expect:
Boyle attended SUNY at Geneseo and then completed his undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning a Political Science degree in 1983. He received a Master of Public Administration degree from SUNY at Albany and a law degree from Albany Law School, both in 1987.[1][2]
After serving on the staff of former U.S. Representative Rick Lazio, Boyle was first elected to the state Assembly in 1994, and did not seek reelection in 2002, honoring a term-limits pledge. He returned to the state Assembly after winning a special election on February 28, 2006.[2]
Boyle was a delegate for John McCain being one of the few New York elected officials to endorse McCain before the primaries where most endorsed Rudy Giuliani. He served as a delegate for NY in 2012 and was among the first to endorse Mitt Romney.
Philip Boyle is a founding partner in a law firm Steinberg & Boyle LLP, located in East Islip, New York. He is an active volunteer firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician in the Great River Fire Department. Boyle is a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Sierra Club. He and his wife Victoria Ryan live in Bay Shore, New York.[2]
Over my dead body. And I mean that in a very real and literal way.
I would love to see people in some state[s] tar and feather their elected congressman.
Sort of like Judas trying to return the thirty pieces of silver.
No, but he sounds like nearly every politician in any country in the world. Why does this type rise up and how do they get elected?

A week or so ago Deadspin set out to buy a HOF vote from a BWAA member. They have apparently succeeded. Sounds like details of the transaction will be released after the vote.
For now, Deadspin is turning it over to the readers to make a ballot.
My guess, the ballot ends up one of the more sensible ballots cast in this years vote.
I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing (I lean toward good) but it's definitely funny.

'Man of Steel' soars into top spot at box office
LOS ANGELES - "Man of Steel" was the kryptonite to any box-office rival this weekend, monopolizing ticket sales and flying away with No. 1.
The 3-D film starring Henry Cavill as Superman grossed a stellar $113.1 million over the weekend, according to an estimate from distributor Warner Bros. Including the $12 million the Zack Snyder-directed flick collected from early screenings Thursday, the movie has now sold a total of $125.1 million worth of tickets domestically.
The only other new movie to hit theaters nationally this weekend, the R-rated comedy "This Is the End," trailed far behind "Man of Steel."
However, the film's $20.5 million, three-day opening is still solid, considering the movie cost Sony Pictures just $32.5 million to produce. Since debuting in theaters late Tuesday, the film has made a healthy $32.8 million in all.
"Man of Steel," meanwhile, posted the biggest June opening ever (not adjusting for inflation), beating the $110.3 million launch of 2010's "Toy Story 3." The movie also had one of the most successful debuts of the year, behind only the massive $174.1 million opening for "Iron Man 3" in May.
The first Superman movie in seven years is already on its way to becoming the highest-grossing film featuring Clark Kent. "Superman Returns" (2006) started with $52.5 million in its opening weekend and went on to collect $200.1 million in the U.S. and Canada - just over 50 percent of the movie's final $391.1 million global tally.
Though the last Superman movie, starring Brandon Routh, earned better reviews than "Man of Steel," audiences liked the newer film more. Moviegoers assigned "Superman Returns" an average grade of B-plus, according to market research firm CinemaScore, while "Steel" notched an A-minus. The new film attracted primarily older males: 56 percent of the crowd was male and 62 percent was over age 25. About 41 percent of moviegoers were willing to shell out a few extra bucks to see the picture in 3-D.
Though the movie obviously performed well nationwide given its huge opening, it showed particular strength in the Midwest, said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution.
"Superman's roots are in Kansas, so movies about him have always done well in small towns," Fellman said. "A few weeks ago, when a tornado devastated Moore, Okla., the local Warren Theatre had its roof torn off. They even used it as a temporary morgue. But they've since repaired things and this weekend our movie had one of its strongest performances in the country there."
While "Man of Steel" is on track to collect at least $300 million domestically, it remains to be seen how well the movie will fare internationally. Since the picture cost Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures $225 million to produce, it will need to do strong business abroad if it is to become a hit. This weekend, the film debuted in 24 foreign markets and collected $71.6 million. Though the film did especially well in Mexico and Korea, it performed best in the United Kingdom, grossing $17.1 million there. The movie will launch in 27 additional countries, including China and Russia, next weekend.
"This Is the End," written and directed by Seth Rogen and his "Superbad" collaborator, Evan Goldberg, follows Rogen and his group of celebrity friends as they try to survive the apocalypse. The movie was beloved by critics, and filmgoers gave it an average grade of B-plus.
Though the picture was generating the most pre-release interest among those under age 25, it actually did best with a slightly older crowd - 52 percent of the audience was over age 25. Males made up about 60 percent of the audience.
"I think people will be obsessed with this movie for many, many weeks to come," said Sony's distribution president, Rory Bruer. "R-rated comedies with fresh concepts tend to hold up well."
"This Is the End" may hold up well next weekend, but it will face competition from a new comedy July 28. That's when "The Heat," the buddy cop flick starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock, hits theaters, and the movie is already on pace to open stronger than the big-budget action film "White House Down."
"Before Midnight," the third film in a series directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, fell flat in its nationwide expansion. The movie has excelled in limited release over the last three weekends, but when it jumped from 52 locations to 897 this weekend, the film collected $1.5 million. That amounts to a lackluster per-theater average of $1,701.
So far, the movie has sold a total of $3.2 million worth of tickets. The last picture featuring Hawke and Delpy as a couple, 2004's "Before Sunset," grossed $5.8 million in all.

Looks like Florida's program to drug test welfare recipients will save the state $40thousand to $98thousand a year, not including cost of administering the program, at a cost of only $178million. tbo.com
This has nothing to do with Florida governor Rick Scott's shadow-ownership of the major drug testing company in Florida.
Republicans are against government intrusion into people's private lives. This is not an intrusion into anyone's private life, either.
Views: 1093
I think it's pretty blatantly classist to employ drug testing in such a selective manner. This type of law assumes that the only people that receive government money are the poor when, in fact, there is a large amount of money going out the door in oil subsidies, farm subsidies, business "incentives", tax breaks to the ultra wealthy to "create jobs", etc.
Let's not forget that there is also non-cash governmental funding in the form of free schooling for our children, free police protection, the court system (which the wealthy and corporations benefit more greatly from), fire protection, military protection, etc.
If we are going to really drug test people who receive "hand-outs" from the government, shouldn't we be testing pretty much every US citizen rather than just the poorest ones? The problem is that some people assume that poor = drugs. Coincidentally, I would think you'd find a fairly large number of drug abusers among the wealthy (i.e. musicians, actors, executives). We all pretty much know that Bill Maher smokes pot, but he recieves a substantial tax break because of how much money he makes. Documents coming out of Enron showed an environment of drug use among upper management as part of the "fast" lifestyle. I could go on...
In general, while I am willing to pay taxes to fund a welfare safety net, I am much less willing to pay for a welfare feather bed. The worry of large scale drugs testing is always Quis custodiet ipsos custodes : it adds another layer of bureaucracy.
Your first paragraph touches on an excellent point. As you pointed out, subsidies to various sectors are considered welfare. So yes, in turn, there should be a way to make this applicable to the corporations and sectors that receive government funding. However, a lot of those sectors are established, usually providing significant monetary returns. And I think that's the significant difference between private sectors and private, impoverished individuals.
Furthermore, you'd have to provide a significant amount of statistics to show drug use within sectors. On the contrary, drug use statistics are based on the class systems and illicit drug use is statistically higher in the poor, so it only makes sense to issue drug tests, especially if we all want to see returns and an elevation of the poor to a higher income bracket.
This is a really clever allegory - I like it!
Oh, so do you get drug tested? I would hope so since you get some sort of "handout" from the government, whether it be tax credits, subsidized student loan interest, etc. I'm sure we can find something that you receive from our tax dollars that you should be tested for.

Yesterday on TeaDay, TeaChatters answered the question, "Your ideal Tea vendor would have...?" The top response surprised me a bit. "Less than 25 teas and very specialized" easily was the top vote getter.
Welcome to another Saturday edition of TeaDay. Perfect day to brew up some tea and share what is in your cup today...all day! Be sure to check out what everyone else is sipping as well. Reflect back on your TeaDay if you need to!
Today, we continue with the subject of vendors. Today, the question is how many primary tea vendors do you use regularly. Has the nuber been going up lately or down? Is there a trend? I am sure this will get interesting.
I am looking forward to reading what is in everyone's cup today...all day. So, bottoms up TeaChatters...refilll...repeat!

The Charlotte Bobcats say head coach Steve Clifford will coach Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks after having two stents placed in his heart Friday.
Clifford was released from the hospital Saturday after being admitted late Thursday night for chest pains and requiring two stents in his heart, team President Rod Higgins said in a news release.
Associate head coach Patrick Ewing has run the 3-3 Bobcats in Clifford's absence.
EWING: How he rose up coaching ladder
BOBCATS: Jordan won't let his team tank
Clifford, 52, was the third professional coach to be hospitalized in the last week. Denver Broncos coach John Fox was admitted with chest pains last weekend after experiencing symptoms on the golf course and underwent aortic valve surgery Monday. Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak had stroke-like symptoms during a game Sunday.
Clifford, 52, joined the Bobcats on May 29 after spending last year as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers. He replaced Mike Dunlap, who was fired after the Bobcats went 21-61.
The Bobcats have been thrilled with Clifford's approach thus far, saying he has the right makeup to deal with professional players.
He spent 13 seasons as an NBA assistant coach for the Knicks, Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets and Lakers.

If this sauce was applied post-bake...I will eat my fedora. http://www.epicportions.com/2009/08/28/metro-detroits-best-pizza/
Hi Norma,I have read all 51 pages and bazillion posts with hopes and dreams of recreating Buddy's pizza at home now that you have done all the hard work. I live in Michigan and Buddy's pizza is my favorite - your picture posts look like you have hit it right on. I have one question as I am new to this pizza thing - in the very beginning you listed directions on how you mixed the dough and you mentioned that you added the yeast, dry, to your flour and then added it to the water. Is this standard for pizza dough, as opposed to acitivating the yeast first in the warm water? You are my hero for figuring this all out!Janet
Still good but not as good as before.
Thanks for the quick reply - I'll reread those two posts. I used to know Wes (from Buddy's) quite well as I did all the signage for two of their restaurants. I am trying to find someone who works or used to work there to weasel some information out of them. I know that I have noticed a difference in their pizza over the last year and a half and I am wondering if it has to do with the conveyor ovens. Still good but not as good as before. If I had to guess I would say they sauce it after it comes out. If I can get that information from a restaurant source I will most certainly pass it along.j
Norma, Peter,...oh, my... what have I gotten myself in to??? My initial feeling is that the pizza now is not as crisp as it used to be, especially in the middle section, almost soggy by time you get to your second slice. My husband keeps telling me I should get a job there to learn how to make it. I'll see if I can dig out Wes's contact info and see if he will share with me - it's been a while.Have a good day!jmg
I made two more 8-square pies last night using Normas' emergency formula. This time I applied the sauce mid bake, once the cheese had melted, thus keeping the sauce out of contact with the dough. It worked very well. I had no sag issues at all. Unfortunately, these were for a party and I had no time for pictures. Sorry about that.
You're welcome Norma. Actually though, I lied , I did get one picture but it doesn't really show much.
It is usually not a good idea to try to draw conclusions from a single data point, but take a look at the fifth photo (underskirt) in the Sept. 2010 Slice article at http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/09/livonia-michigan-mi-great-detroit-style-pizza-at-buddys.html. Then look at the fourth photo (crumb shot). I wonder whether the light colored, and not particularly crispy looking (with a lot of craters), bottom crust reflects a possible lowering of the hydration of the Buddy's dough, resulting in a more dense crumb. That could cause more of the bottom heat to pass through the dough to the cheese, sauce and toppings rather than darkening and crisping up the bottom crust, as it would if the dough had a higher hydration and acted more like an insulator than a conductor. Of course, factors like the amount of oil in the pan and the oven temperature can be factors although I would imagine that those steps are pretty well controlled. Or maybe the Livonia Buddy's location produces a somewhat different product.Peter
I know someone mentioned also on the Buddys thread that they liked a second pass though the conveyor oven to get Buddys pizza to their liking. I really dont understand how conveyor oven work either.
Norma,I could be wrong but I do not recall anyone at the Buddy's thread saying that the pizzas could have two passes through the Buddy's conveyor, or at least not two full passes, which would mean a total bake time of around 25 minutes. That would result in a burnt pizza. What I do recall is that lufty said that he preferred about another 2 or 3 minutes bake time because he preferred a somewhat more well done pizza. See, for example, his comments (in italics) in Reply 318 at at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3783.msg136795.html#msg136795. Some of the longer conveyors have openings along their length to allow workers to use bubble poppers and possibly reenter a bake pizza to allow a longer bake or to enter an unbaked pizza to get a shorter bake. With shorter length conveyors that do not have such openings, one might reenter a baked pizza via either the entry point or the exit point to allow for a longer bake. From my research of infrared conveyor ovens, I learned that two of the major players are CTX (owned by Middlby Marshall) and QII Deck (formerly Q-Matic, I believe). You can see examples of QII Decks with the openings along their length at http://www.qiideck.com/pdf/The_Q_infrared_series.pdf. You can read more about the QII ovens at http://www.qiideck.com/home.htm. If you look along the bottom of the pages, you will also find links to YouTube videos. One of those videos shows a pan pizza being one of the types of pizzas that can be baked in their ovens.In case you are wondering, I was not able through my searches to find what kind or model of infrared conveyor oven Buddy's uses. Peter
I hear ya Peter.....maybe I should try calling in an order/inquisition. 'Cept they prolly have caller I.D. and I won't get far "wanting to place an order".....when they see North Carolina on the screen!

When a massive earthquake hit Japan in March 2011, an informal global network of government officials and NGOs delivered real-time satellite images showing the exact extent of the earthquake and tsunami damage. Japan's emergency responders used this information to find disaster victims, determine evacuation routes, and prepare for further aftershocks. This is a significant yet small example of the ways we are using earth observing and other satellite information from space to respond to disasters, understand the environment and climate change, and improve the use of our natural resources.
For several decades, the United States and many other countries have worked together to develop advanced earth observing satellites that are literally changing the way we look at the world. Earth Day 2012 falls close to the 40th anniversary of the launch of the U.S. Landsat 1, the world's first dedicated earth observing satellite. Landsat 1, together with the six subsequent Landsat missions launched between 1975 and 1999, gives us a unique, continuous 40-year record of global changes in forest cover, agricultural patterns, urban development, rivers and watersheds, and many other critical natural and man-made systems.
Data from other U.S. environment and weather satellites since the late 1970's provide us with the first reliable records of global temperature change from space and the remarkable and ongoing loss of ice cover in the Arctic. Aided by precise data from the U.S. Global Positioning System, future satellite data will help us measure global emissions and observe changes in our atmosphere.
At the State Department, satellite data assists us in fulfilling our mission to build sustainable communities worldwide. Assistant Secretary of State Kerri-Ann Jones recently visited a NASA and USAID satellite center in Kenya that is providing data to help African countries monitor drought risks, determine where forests are being illegally cleared, and even identify outbreaks of epidemics. In her 2012 World Water Day speech, Secretary Clinton highlighted how we are also using this information to analyze and develop solutions to water security problems in areas such as the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.
The global investment in earth observing satellites will keep paying dividends as creative individuals find new uses for this remarkable technology. Most of this data is freely available to users worldwide, and we are working with other countries to maximize its dissemination. The United States helped set up the Group on Earth Observations, which is developing a Global Earth Observation System of Systems -- a fancy way of saying a one-stop shop for the world's accumulated knowledge of the earth and the use of this information to help countries, localities, and individuals solve practical and urgent problems.
In honor of Earth Day, let's take a moment to recognize how earth observations help us protect our planet.

Samsung Electronics, one of the world's largest consumer electronics companies, announced this week that it would demonstrate its 105" curved UHD TV at CES 2014. The new product is set to appeal to those, who want cinema at home.
"We are happy to unveil the 105" curved UHD TV, the culmination of Samsung's advancements, following the world's first curved UHD TV at IFA 2013. You will experience a true curved TV optimized for consumer viewing environments at CES 2014," said HS Kim, executive vice president of visual display business at Samsung Electronics.
The Samsung 105" curved UHD TV features 11MP resolution with 21:9 aspect ratio (5120*2160), a rare combination that only has one competitor, a similar screen made by LG Electronics. The company did not reveal whether it uses OLED or LCD flat panel for the TV-ser. The former would mean better picture quality, while the latter
According to Samsung, the new 105" curved UHD TV adopts a new proprietary picture quality algorithm that delivers optimized color and greater feeling of depth. As the curved panel has been further upgraded and TV circuit technology has been added, the combination of the upgraded curved panel with a greater picture quality engine provides an immersive experience.
While 21:9 aspect ratio and 5120*2160 resolution are clearly good for watching movies, it should be noted that there are no movies in this resolution officially on the market. Blu-ray discs feature either 1920*1080 or similar resolutions (with exceptions of the old movies which were filmed in considerably aspect ratios [e.g., Gone with the Wind, Casablanca and many other were filed in 1:37:1 aspect ratio, they are available in Blu-ray in this aspect ratio]). While some BDs could benefit from 21:9 screens, they need to be upconverted, which will affect the quality.
Samsung's 105" curved ultra HD TV will be on display at Consumer Electronics Show 2014 held in Las Vegas from January 7 to January 10.

Actually it is a very overlooked aspect of rockn roll history to study beards. Is there a connection between beard and a certain koind of music. Does the length of the hair affect the quality of the music? ZZ top are the obvious but whatabout the Band . Personally I find the music they made when all had beards far more interesting than the beardless albums. Not to mention Bruce Springetseen, he had a wonderful beard when he made Born to Run. ,Macca only had beard for a short while but Mccartney has a down-home charm that almost certainly goes down to the beard. All things must pass is Harrisons best album -by far. And look what he has .Yes a beard.
Maybe we should have a poll of the top five rockn roll beards.

Widely and admiringly reviewed as a bestseller in 1955, John Galbraith's "skilled chronicle and analysis of the causes of that most memorable year in our economic history, 1929," (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) put the past in perspective. Now with a new introduction, it has become even more timely in the aftermath of the 1987 stock market crash.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Rampant speculation. Record trading volumes. Assets bought not because of their value but because the buyer believes he can sell them for more in a day or two, or an hour or two. Welcome to the late 1920s. There are obvious and absolute parallels to the great bull market of the late 1990s, writes Galbraith in a new introduction dated 1997. Of course, Galbraith notes, every financial bubble since 1929 has been compared to the Great Crash, which is why this book has never been out of print since it became a bestseller in 1955.
Galbraith writes with great wit and erudition about the perilous actions of investors, and the curious inaction of the government. He notes that the problem wasn't a scarcity of securities to buy and sell; "the ingenuity and zeal with which companies were devised in which securities might be sold was as remarkable as anything." Those words become strikingly relevant in light of revenue-negative start-up companies coming into the market each week in the 1990s, along with fragmented pieces of established companies, like real estate and bottling plants. Of course, the 1920s were different from the 1990s. There was no safety net below citizens, no unemployment insurance or Social Security. And today we don't have the creepy investment trusts--in which shares of companies that held some stocks and bonds were sold for several times the assets' market value. But, boy, are the similarities spooky, particularly the prevailing trend at the time toward corporate mergers and industry consolidations--not to mention all the partially informed people who imagined themselves to be financial geniuses because the shares of stock they bought kept going up. --Lou SchulerAbout the Author:
John Kenneth Galbraith who was born in 1908, is the Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics Emeritus at Harvard University and a past president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is the distinguished author of thirty-one books spanning three decades, including The Affluent Society, The Good Society, and The Great Crash. He has been awarded honorary degrees from Harvard, Oxford, the University of Paris, and Moscow University, and in 1997 he was inducted into the Order of Canada and received the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award for Lifetime Achievement. In 2000, at a White House ceremony, he was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Lawmaker questions
Sedalia Mahlum, Bismarck
The elected officials of North Dakota are entrusted with acting in my best interests, and those of all students. This past legislative session has shown that they are not always capable of that. Being 14 does not make my opinion any less valid than an elector's. I cannot vote to voice my opinions, but I refuse to be silent anymore. I cannot understand why the voters of our state continue to elect officials who do not represent what North Dakota stands for.
When will legislators put as much energy into supporting the child after it's born as they put into making sure the child is born? When will legislators put as much effort into supporting the west as they put into ensuring that oil companies have tax breaks? When will the voice of individuals be as important as those of special interests? Our Legislature has become so hugely unbalanced that it's hard to imagine what would happen if Democrats and Republicans had equal say in the way our great state is run. North Dakotan teens are blessed to have enthusiastic, young, up-and-coming legislators to look up to. What North Dakota needs is more officials willing to cross party lines and listen.
Our state is a beautiful place, and I'm proud to be from here. However, I cannot say that I am very proud of the harsh and partisan fashion in which the 63rd Legislative Assembly conducted its business. Politicians that would rather hide behind party lines than fix the complex problems that our state faces do not represent the spirit of North Dakota, and they do not represent me or my peers. When will the electorate decide it's time to elect officials that will work to create a better future for my generation?

Just Like Magic
Let's be honest: Even when we could get clean data, crunching numbers manually has never been a winning value proposition for IT. In the mainframe era, it meant lots of pricey actuarial elbow grease. In the age of single-server, single-application architectures, infrastructure fragmentation made it prohibitively costly and difficult to build data silos filled with accurate transactional information on which to perform analysis.
But virtualization and the cloud model have changed everything. Like bell-bottom pants, centralization is back. And unlike yesterday's fashions, it's streamlined. With pervasive virtualization, it's suddenly possible to have both centralization and role-based server provisioning. You can have single-server, single-application rollouts on consolidated hardware with centralized management and excellent availability of operational data.
This smarter centralization has paved the way for the cloud paradigm and brought the basic principles of scalability, elasticity, resilience and sometimes multitenancy into vogue. It's also enabled IT-focused predictive analytics software that can see changes and learn and respond by constantly re-evaluating mathematical and predictive models. Once these systems build trust, they can bring automation into the cloud era.
In this report, we'll delve into how these systems work and why some companies can't afford not to deploy predictive IT analytics. (S4530312)
