1A man, age and residence not released, was arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of psilocybin, a psychedelic mushroom, after being stopped for speeding 74 mph in a 55 mph zone in the 9200 block of Interstate 43 at 1:05 a.m. Dec. 6.

Tablets at IFA 2012
IFA 2012 is a tricky beast to keep track of. Last year, we notched up hundreds of stories from Europe's biggest consumer technology show and with so much flying through the Pocket-lint home page, it's easy to miss a few announcements from time to time. So, if it's the tablets from IFA 2012 you'd like to know about most, then you've come to the right place.
We'll be updating this page over the next few days with all the tablet-related news from Berlin. Whether it's just the news, the pictures or a hands-on account of the features, you'll find it here.
Lenovo Ideatab S2107A
In addition to the Windows 8-powered ThinkPad Tablet 2, Lenovo was also on hand to show Pocket-lint a trio of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablets. The Lenovo Ideatab S2107A, is that baby of the bunch. It's a 7-inch device and handles much like the 9-inch version on a smaller scale.
There's a 720p resolution is squeezed into the display and it's 3G-ready which mean on-going PAYG data costs if you want to go down that route. No word on pricing but the word the company used was "competitive". Hands-on
Lenovo Ideatab S2110A
It's the biggest of the lot is the Lenovo S2110A that comes equipped with its own keyboard dock. It's small and light, measuring 8.7mm thick and a mere 580g and is described as a premium entertainment device with a powerful quad core NVIDA Tegra 3 CPU to back it up.
The screen itself is 1080p resolution and has a wide angle of view and even under harsh spotlights was still legible.The 10-hour battery life can be doubled to 20 hours when the keyboard dock is connected, though, again, we'll only be able to test this to its fullest when we get a model in for review. Still, 20 hours is enough to fly trans-Atlantic including stoppage - sounds good to us. Hands-on
Lenovo Ideatab S2109A
Somewhere in the middle of the two above is the Lenovo Ideatab A2109A. It comes with a 9-inch, four-point capacitive display at 1280 x 800 resolution, though 1080p output is possible via the micro HDMI port.
It's metal-backed, built around a "roll cage" design to stay tough and weighs in at 570g. Like all of the above, it comes 3G-ready and, we're hoping, a price tag to attract as well. Hands-on
Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2
The Lenovo ThinkPad 2 is a 10.1-inch device that docks into the keyboard that comes with the package. To the side is a slot for a digital stylus, which we believe is also included (though the press release says that you'll have to stump up extra cash for it).
The most obvious difference between the Tablet 2 and its predecessor is the operating system of choice. The original tablet ran Android, whereas this version's inclusion of Windows 8 Pro means Lenovo is now supporting both operating systems across its different devices. Hands-on
Toshiba Satellite U920T
Packing Windows 8 and a choice of the latest Ivy Bridge processors, the Toshiba Satellite U920T looks to be as powerful as the rest of the competition. No discreet graphics but the U920T features both a 32GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, as well as 6GB of RAM.
A slight let down is the screen, which at 14-inches and with a 1366 x 768 resolution, is fairly pixelated. It is also fairly heavy, at 1.79Kg. A 1-megapixel webcam on the front is paired with another on the rear and the connectivity is good too. SRS Premium Sound 3DTM speakers sit next to the display adding some quality to you entertainment potential. Read more
Dell XPS 10 Windows RT tablet
Dell has announced at IFA 2012 that its first foray into the world of Windows RT tablets will be called the XPS 10. The tablet will feature a detachable keyboard, as seems to be the trend right now, and it will be backlit for a much better experience.
To make use of that keyboard, you'll also have Microsoft Office - which is standard on Windows RT devices - and a microSD slot along with a micro-USB connection for your choice of peripherals. The screen will also be "HD" although as yet we don't know if that's 1280x720 or 1920x1080. The XPS 10 will, according to Dell, have 20 hours battery life. Somewhat mega. Read more | Hands-on
Dell XPS Duo 12
Stretching the boundaries of what can be considered a laptop comes the Dell XPS Duo 12. It's a screen-flipper rather than a keyboard remover and, of course, it runs a full version Windows 8. Looking like a much plusher sequel to the Inspiron Duo, it's machined from aluminium and carbon fibre and is a top of the line piece of kit.
There's a Full HD touch screen display, edge to edge glass and it's upgradeable all the way to an Ivy Bridge Core i7 processor and a backlit keyboard. Stay tuned for more on pricing yet and specs for the XPS Duo 12. Read more | Hands-on
Samsung Ativ Smart PC
The Samsung Ativ Smart PC uses a detachable keyboard to bring a more traditional QWERTY computing experience to a tablet, while keeping things as portable as you might want a Windows 8 tablet to be. The 11.6-inch display has multi touch support which works naturally with Windows 8.
Not content with keyboard and touch, the S Pen control method, like the Note 10.1 and just announced Note 2, is also thrown in for good measure, bringing a little variety to your input options. There are two variants of the Ativ Smart PC. The standard Ativ Smart PC is 9.9mm thick and uses an Atom processor. The Ativ Smart PC Pro is larger at 11.9mm thanks to its more powerful i5 processor. Hands-on
Samsung Ativ Tab
All tablet and no keyboard this time, the Samsung Ativ Tab is the most traditional of the tablets unveiled in the Ativ range. Pegged as a Windows 8 alternative to the Note 10.1, it's designed to provide a Windows PC experience on a tablet.
With a 10.1-inch display and weighing just 570g, it is reasonably light. The plastic finish perhaps lacks the metallic sheen that Asus bring to their rival device, but we guess the telling factor will be in price when both devices come to market. Inside is a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, two cores less than the likes of the Note 10.1. On the show floor it's difficult to get a sense of performance, but from what we've seen, it's a pretty slick device. Hands-on
HP Envy x2
Not wishing to be left behind by equivalents from Samsung, Sony, et al, is HP. The HP Envy x2 is a tablet/PC hybrid 11.6-inch device that runs Windows 8 and features the Beats Audio system that the manufacturer hopes will give it that extra edge over the rest.
Weighing 1.4kg when the keyboard is attached (0.68kg when not), the Envy x2 has a HD IPS panel, which should ensure decent brightness (400-nit), and front and rear cameras. There's NFC for use with media sharing and HP has added proprietary software, including HP Connected Photo, an app that syncs photos across multiple devices and offers basic editing options. Read more | Hands-on
Sony Xperia Tablet S
As expected, Sony has announced a new tablet device called the Sony Xperia Tablet S during its press conference at IFA in Berlin. It will feature an Nvida Tegra 3 quad core processor, come loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich from the box, will sport a full sized SD card slot and come with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB in-built storage options.
There's USB output, HDMI connectivity through a dongle and an oddly sized 9.4-inch touchscreen with a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution to enjoy. You get an 8-megapixel camera on the rear, a 1-megapixel on the front for video calling and that's your lot. Starting at $399, ending at $599. Read more
Sony Vaio Tap 20
Some might argue that the Sony Vaio Tap 20 is a desktop computer. Because it is. However, this is a machine that Sony is positively encouraging the family to use as if it were a giant, 20-inch tablet. Because it's basically also this too.
Thanks to the magic of Windows 8 this computer - minus the plugged-in mouse and keyboard - is designed to lie flat and become some sort of multi-use, family painting device. Graphics are integrated, as are the speakers, and there's up to 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 and a possible 1TB of storage at your disposal. Read more | Hands-on
Sony Vaio Duo 11
The Sony Vaio Dual 11 sports a surf slider build with a full Qwerty keyboard, but consumers can opt to stick to a slate tablet mode and use the 11-inch touch display. A digitised stylus is included in the tablet device. Again, one could argue that this is, in fact, a laptop. Because, again, it is, but the duo is meant to be a tablet every much as it as meant as an Ultrabook.
Like the Tap 20, the Duo 11 and features Sony's new Clear Audio+ sound technology for a an improved sound experience when watching video or listening to music as well as a choice of high end Intel Core CPUs and Intel HD graphics. Coming at the end of October. Read more | Hands-on
Asus Vivo Tab (RT)
Asus kicked off IFA 2012 with the announcement of two new tablet devices. The Asus Vivo Tab and Asus Vivo Tab RT bring the successful Transformer concept to Windows 8. The name comes from the Latin verb "to live", with Asus describing the new tablet devices as ideal for work and play.
Based around an 11.6-inch Super IPS+ display, like the Transformer range of Android tablet devices, the Vivo Tab will feature a dock to turn this Windows 8 tablet into a fully fledged notebook. With a thickness of just 8.7mm and weighing 675g, the Vivo Tab is a slick looking device, exhibiting Asus' growing experience in tablet design. Read more | Hands-on
Archos GamePad
Is it a portable games machine, is it a tablet, is there any difference any more? Archos has announced the launch of a new 7-inch device with dedicated buttons set to take on the PS Vita and pals. The GamePad combines physical gaming controls with a full Android-powered tablet with touchscreen, analogue sticks and all.
The GamePad runs a 1.5Ghz processor with a Mali 400mp quad-core GPU to handle the graphics side of things. Unlike some Archos tablets in the past, the new model is also Google certified so you get access to the Google Play store and promises to automatically map keys to your favourite games very much in the same way Sony Ericsson did with the PlayStation phone, the Xperia Play. Due out at the end of October 2012 for less than £130. Read more

Skip to comments.Boehner: Obamacare Is The Law Of The Land
Posted on 11/08/2012 2:46:03 PM PST by ConservativeMan55
As ABC News reports, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has confirmed that the House GOP will no longer attempt to repeal Obamacare. When asked about the future of the health care reform law, Boehner said the election changes that and Obamacare is the law of the land.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
Sometimes laws need to be disobeyed.
Was Boehner crying?
And just when did they ever try to repeal it? I don't remember them withholding funding. LOL
Yes folks, continue on blaming people for not voting all the while ignoring the GOP was just playing everyone with no intention to ever repeal it. I knew they had no intention, it was sealed with Roberts' vote. If they were truly against it they'd have fought it with their jobs on the line by holding back funding and certainly wouldn't stop with on election.
And how would you do that, specifically? Given that the Senate and White House are in Democrat control? This is your chance to lay out your plan to change the law, Speaker Nevermorelenore.
Sheesh. I've complained for years about tone deaf Republicans who can't smack a softball out of the park. The proper answer: "Obamacare is a disastrous piece of legislation that is going to put bureaucrats between doctors and patients, drive up costs, degrade the quality of care, and lead to substandard care in a rationed system. That's going to become brutally clear in the next couple of years as the taxes kick in and millions, soon tens of millions, of people lose their current coverage and get dumped into government rationed schemes. 60% of the American people didn't want Obamacare to begin with, and only a president and democrat congress of surpassing arrogance would have crammed it down their throats. The recent election results probably mean we don't have the votes for repeal right now, but Obamacare stinks to high heaven and its going to get worse. We have a huge job ahead to salvage what we can of quality medical care and to put American citizens and their doctors back in charge. "
That's not hard.
How does this guy ever make it to work? He obviously has to wait until all lights are guaranteed to be green before he leaves his home.
Boehner as just telling the truth.
It is the Law of the Land!!
(elections do have consequences and if you didn't vote, you don't have a dog in this fight)
The House Republicans have already funded it longer than necessary. I think it's March 2013 when a vote for continued funding is due. DEFUND it already!
Making a font that big pretty much guarantees that no one will want to read it. I always scroll down away from posts like that. It's the internet equivalent of screaming at the top of your lungs. Very annoying.
boehner is being a douche. he acts like the election was a landslide. it wasn't.
Every time you see or hear from one of those 3 million folks that stayed home, be sure to thank them for this and the many other gifts headed our way.
I think the Republicans should give the Democrats everything they want. Don't fight a thing. Let them raise taxes, open the borders, raise the debt ceiling, force Catholic hospitals to pay for abortions, etc. Let's see where we are in four years.
They said the same thing about Prohibition in 1928.
1.) I am of the opinion that SOME of the legal efforts not yet decided will help us a great deal.
a.) Conscience Clause, contraceptive/abortion mandates, when the "intent" of Congress was that such would not happen by "executive order" remember?
b.) The "State Exchanges" are an integral part of Obamcare, and many States will refuse to implement these exchanges on their own. Their really isn't a funding method to fund much of Obamacare without these "State Exchanges" is there? The "Default" program, the Fed program, has no funding vehicle. The House is not likely to provide such funding.
2.) GIVEN THE ABOVE, there is SLIM chance that the House Republicans have something up their sleeves. We can FOLLOW THE LAW, OBAMACARE IS THE LAW, and we can still stop much of what the libs want, BECAUSE THAT IS THE LAW!
Yes, that would've been okay, too. Probably better.
My point above was just to let him acknowledge the truth....
As Obama says we don't need no stinking law. F Boehner and the republican party.
Yeah but prohibition is different. Obamacare will add millions upon millions of people to the government dependency.
Those people.. much like the Obamaphone lady will never give up those benefits and will fight tooth and nail to keep them.
And once they have those benefits anyone proposing to repeal Obamacare will be called heartless, racist, etc.
Nice try.
The House could have defunded it. They chose not to because of the storm that would follow. Oh, not over the law itself, but that Democrats would have attached it to something else considered politically untenable.
As to Romney...give me a break. His would be Chief of staff supported it and Romney refused to say he'd repeal all of it.
Republicans had no intention of following through. they were just hoping they could milk the issue toward another 2010 win. well, not enough people bought into the fairytale they constructed this time.
That's what I'm talking about. Give them everything they want. ALL the corporations will move overseas.
Interesting times are turning into hellish times at quite a pace. Where will we be a month from now?
To paraphrase Clint Eastwood, Boehner's just not doing the job, and we've got let him go.
They need to elect Paul Ryan as the new speaker NOW.
That's what so many said about legalized abortion.
Many of them are dead now - old age.
You don't think private insurance companies will keep their doors open and wait for that day to come do you? There will be no other alternatives as time goes by. People will not trust such a big change.
Good luck with that now. Making abortion illegal will actually be easier. We missed our chance to repeal it on tuesday. We lost. It's hear to say.
Honestly, what do you expect him to say? Elections have consequences.
It was passed by the Senate and the House.
It was upheld by the Supreme Court.
The country voted the President who signed it back in for another four-year term.
That's it, as far as the legislature is concerned. At least for now.
There will be many consequences of this bill, and some of those can be litigated or legislated over. But the law is the law. We missed our last chance to stop it two days ago.
That's life.
Unlike the Senate (Majority Leader), the House Speaker need not be a current rep. If Boner is gonna keep acting boneheadish, and no current rep wants to step up to the plate, then they can elect a speaker from outside the house... Maybe Allen West, for example, while he fights his close election - someone like him would be a great speaker.
Please consult your doctor if you experience a Boehner lasting more than four years as Speaker. It could be fatal to your health.
Now we have the sequestration battle that will probably involve some nefarious bookkeeping without reducing spending. Hell, if we can't cut $100 billion a year out of a $3.7 trillion dollar annual budget for the next ten years, how the Hell are we ever going to cut spending?
I'll tell you what he should say. He should say "Mr. President, you may feel you have a mandate after this election but it pales next to the mandate you ignored when you rammed Obamacare down the American people's throat. It was a huge mandate, 70% of the people, and you didn't care.
And they still don't want it by much bigger margins that your election. So we'll honor that mandate and keep trying to stop Obamacare for the people, for the majority of American people.
Precisely. There are consequences to an election. Frankly, I think Boehner is giving them exactly what they voted for, I'm loving it.
Such BS. 0-care defies the laws of economics which trumps any pronouncements by rinos or socialists. The states will have a lot to say about this issue by refusing to set up state exchanges.
Geez LOUISE! Every reckoning, every estimate is that it's going to cost way more to add the people it's supposed to add, than if the government had just cut them a check for the premiums of normal health insurance as we know it now.
Yes. I agree he could have said more...it is just that we needn't bash him for stating the truth.
Boehner DID pass repeals. Obama and Reid and Pelosi are to blame for Obamacare.
And by the way: as more doctors flee (some have already testified to that fact on this thread), it will be a GREAT TIME for us to remind people about why it should be REPEALED.
BIG difference between Prohibition and Healthcare.
Healthcare deals with people's lives.
We had our chance on tuesday. We lost. It's here to stay.
John Boehner needed to go years ago.
"Why attack Boehner? He fought Obama Care."
You call this fighting?
Defund it.
Spending originates in the House. Republicans control the House and have for 2 years. Did they defund it? No? Then don't tell me they couldn't do anything. They never intended to get rid of it. When Boehner admits that, then you all go praise him for truth telling. Until then he's just continuing to spin.
In a sense, yes. The Republicans won't be left holding the bag when the train wreck happens (to shamefully mix a metaphor).
The House Republicans have already funded it longer than necessary. I think it's March 2013 when a vote for continued funding is due. DEFUND it already!"
Exactly. They always have that power.
The thing I fear is sequestration. The Rats will hold the military funding hostage until Obamacare is funded.
Still, we can not bend over and let them ram us from behind. We've got to use what little power we have to at least leverage SOMETHING out of this.
Quit being weenies!
Won't it be funny if Americans end up going to CANADA for important health care?
And so let them do that. Get Obama's drones out of Afghanistan. Let him go totally peacenik. Let's see what happens.
. According to Jeffersons Manual, a 19th century procedural manual that has been largely incorporated into the House Rules:
A Speaker may be removed at the will of the House, and a Speaker pro tempore appointed.
A resolution declaring the Office of Speaker vacant presents a question of constitutional privilege, though the House has never removed a Speaker. It has on several occasions removed or suspended other officers, such as Clerk and Doorkeeper. A resolution for the removal of an officer is presented as a matter of privilege.
There is, however, a catch. Speaker Boehner may presently be the highest ranking Republican in Congress, but speakers are elected by the entire House not simply the majority party. A resolution removing Speaker Boehner most likely because of a Tea Party revolt seeking to replace him with someone even further to the right would require either overwhelming support in Boehners own caucus or collusion with the Democrats.
Hey, they're all politicians on Mt. Olympus where even bitter rival gods cavort with one another.
Bonehead needs to have his nuts cut off — assuming he has any, and he can be the 1st patient
Thank you! Even though I was kinda being sarcastic. lol
BUT I do need to know more code for this place.
Yup. Only way to stop it now is in the courts but it NEEDS to be done now.
John Boehner is right with this statement. But he's still USELESS and NEEDS TO GO. He's been a disaster!
Simple solution:
All spending originates in the House.
Boehner is the Speaker of said House.
We aren't. Game Over. The country has changed. It is no longer a christian Republic, it is a godless Democracy, with factions vying for a piece of the pie. I say if you can't beat' em. Join 'em. Raise taxes, raise corporate taxes, open the borders, just let Obama have everything he wants. Don't fight a single bill. They won't know what the hell to do if we stop opposing them. Then when it all turns south, which it will eventually anyway, they will be in the pilot's seat.
You and I are on the same page...give them everything they want. They will be flummoxed if we stop fighting. Maybe they will actually do something responsible for once.

Perhaps it's human nature for each generation to inevitably find fault with the next. But take a look at a group of teenagers milling about outside school, and chances are that aside from clothing baggy enough to accommodate a family of four and the ubiquitous beepers and cellular phones, the scene looks oddly familiar. Who'd ever have thought that chunky-heeled shoes and bellbottom pants would come back in style?
You belong to a unique generation in that unlike your parents or your grandparents you probably had an adolescence very similar to your teenager's, because the teen years of today bear a strong resemblance to what they have been since the 1960s. Now, as then, the times are relatively affluent, our current recession notwithstanding.
Compared to parents of a generation ago, you probably have a greater understanding of the obstacles confronting your child. And while today's moms and dads aren't going to agree with everything that teens do in the name of expressing their individuality (if we did, our kids would never forgive us), perhaps we're more inclined to be accepting of their need to do it.
The common ground you share is a great place to begin establishing and nurturing communication, closeness and trust. In a stereotype-shattering 1998 survey of thirteen-to-seventeen-year-olds, two-thirds felt that their parents were "in touch with what life is like" for today's teens. So you may be more in tune with your teen than you realize. For all the similarities, though, this is a different world. Strains of marijuana are far more potent, unprotected sexual intercourse can infect a youngster with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the proliferation of violence throughout our society has fomented a climate of fear and anxiety in many communities. Not only are the stakes higher for teenagers today, but the age of innocence has become shorter and shorter. Kids face having to make critical decisions at increasingly younger ages—often before they are mature enough to fully assess the risks involved.
Probably the most significant difference between being a teenager today versus when you came of age is the diminished presence of the family in many adolescents' lives. Approximately half of all marriages end in divorce, almost twice the rate of the early 1960s. While nearly nine in ten children lived with both their mother and father in 1970, today at least half can expect to live in a household headed by a single parent at some point before they turn 18. And because three in four mothers of school-age children now work outside the home, many adolescents spend the afternoon hours unsupervised, with no adult at home to greet them and ask, "Hi, how was school today?"
The cumulative effect of these changes is familiar to all of us: a more stressful, less stable environment. And yet recent statistics paint a healthier portrait of our young people than you might expect—especially if compared to the beginning of the 1980s, when the final procession of baby boomers was entering adulthood.
The heartening message behind these statistics is that if we communicate to kids the adverse consequences of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, premature sex and so on in a way that reaches them, the message can have an effect. Nonetheless, a youngster's adolescence presents a frightening paradox for mothers and fathers, in that the time when you must learn to let your teenager go is the very time their need for guidance is the greatest because the consequences they potentially face are the most dire.
Though adolescence is a trying time for parents, take heart from one who has been there. Dr. Marianne Neifert offers a view of the road ahead that is both inspiring and realistic because it is based on her own experience of shepherding five children through the teen years. "How was it? It was great. Looking back, though, I would say that whatever struggles we did have were due to my lack of parenting skills. And here I was, a pediatrician! Had I been a little better prepared, I could have done a much better job. But even so," she says, "we had a ball! And, of course, the gift that you get at the end is adult children who are also your friends."

Young People Urge World Leaders to Combat Climate Change
New York, 23 October 2008 - Nearly 90 per cent of young people across the globe think world leaders should do "whatever it takes" to tackle climate change. This is among the top findings of a new poll conducted on behalf of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The survey of 12 to 18 year-olds in five countries (Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa and the United States) found that nine in ten young people (88% overall and 85% or more in each country) agree that "World leaders should do whatever it takes to tackle climate change".
Climate Change a Top Concern among Young People
Young people are clearly concerned about climate change. Concern is highest in Brazil (96%) and South Africa (91%), followed by India (85%) and the United States (82%), while significantly lower levels of concern are expressed in Russia (70%).
World Leaders Not Doing Enough
Young people in South Africa, the United States and Brazil are particularly critical of world leaders' efforts to address climate change; seven in ten or more across these three countries say world leaders are not doing enough (South Africa, 82%; the United States, 79%; Brazil, 73%). Only in India are young people more likely to say world leaders are doing "too much" or "enough;" just 19 percent say they are not doing enough.
Necessary to Take Major Steps Very Soon
There is a great sense of urgency among youth in most countries, with a majority of young people in each country except India saying, "It is necessary to take major steps starting very soon" (Brazil, 88%; South Africa, 81%; Russia, 75%; the United States, 61%). When thinking about the human impact on climate change in India, most young people believe that modest steps should be taken over the coming years (53%). This reinforces their world view that enough is being done on climate change.
Young People Feel Empowered to Act
Four in five youths surveyed believe they can make a difference on climate for our future (89%); however, a majority also say they need more information about what they can do to tackle climate change (84%).
Those in Brazil, India, South Africa, and the United States are most enthusiastic about making a difference and wanting more information in order to do so, while those in Russia are less likely to agree (with 77% saying they can make a difference).
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of UNEP comments, "I am very pleased to note the high level of awareness on climate change among 12 to 18-year olds. These are the voices of the generation that will inherit the impacts of climate change if world leaders fail to act. It is clear from the survey that young people around the world are seriously worried about what climate change will mean in terms of their future on this planet. Through them, we can reach out to the approximately 3 billion people around the planet who are under 25. There are some 400 days to go before the crucial UN climate convention meeting in Copenhagen-world leaders have now heard the concerns of young people. This generation must now take responsibility for the next".
Chris Coulter, Vice-President of GlobeScan, comments, "This is a strong and important statement from the world's youth to world leaders. It is strong because the message to political leaders and policymakers appears to be: 'Do what it takes to tackle climate change, even if major steps are needed, and act urgently because we are affected and concerned by climate change.' It is important because young people are not always well represented by world leaders, although their future is to be decided in upcoming climate agreements."
Notes to editors:
The online survey of 12-18 year olds across Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa and the United States was conducted for UNEP and carried out by the international polling firm GlobeScan during the month of October 2008. The results are drawn from a survey of 1999 young adults, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years. In each of the five countries, 400 young people were polled. The margin of error is impossible to assess in online polling, but the results can be interpreted to be representative of the online community of youth with good accuracy.
This is the first of several press releases from the comprehensive survey on the hopes and fears of youth as they relate to climate change.

UNEP's mission is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. UNite to combat climate change is the United Nations campaign to support the call for a definitive agreement on a comprehensive global climate regime for the period after 2012, when the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol expires.
GlobeScan Incorporated is a global public opinion and stakeholder research consultancy with offices in Toronto, London and Washington. GlobeScan conducts custom research and annual tracking studies on global issues. With a research network spanning 60+ countries, GlobeScan works with global companies, multilateral agencies, national governments and non-government organizations to deliver research-based insights for successful strategies.
The results are drawn from a survey of 1999 young adults, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years olds, across five countries for UNEP by the international polling firm GlobeScan. The survey was conducted online between October 13 and October 23, 2008.
While Internet panels cannot be thoroughly representative of a country's young adult population (the poorest of the poor and those living in remote areas without Web access are not included), it is felt that the objective of measuring young adult's attitudes could be well met by the use of Internet research given the relatively high access and usage rates of the Internet of this age group in each country.
The demographic groups surveyed in each country reflect the demographic profile of each country and are a representative cross-section of young adults who have access to the Internet in their homes, workplaces, or in libraries, cafes or schools. Data from the online respondents were weighted according to the latest census data to reflect the overall demographic profile of each country in terms of age and gender.

Dr. Spencer Lucas Curator of Paleontology New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science
In the mid-1980s Jerry MacDonald, an amateur paleontologist, brought national recognition to the Robledo Mountains when he found long, intact fossilized trackways. These trackways belong to the Permian Period (280-240 million years ago) tens of millions of years before the dinosaurs. The Permian Period was at the end of the Paleozoic Era (circa 550 -240 million years ago).
Under the supervision of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, MacDonald excavated thousands of these trackways from what is now known as the Discovery Site. The majority of the over 2500 slabs removed in the excavation comprises "The Jerry MacDonald Paleozoic Trackways Collection" at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. Learn More >>
The Bureau of Land Management is partnering with the National Park Service (NPS) , the American Geological Institute (AGI) , and other Federal and state agencies, associations, and organizations to hold the second annual National Fossil Day on October 12, 2011
The Prehistoric Trackways National Monument was established in 2009 to conserve, protect, and enhance the unique and nationally important paleontological, scientific, educational, scenic, and recreational resources and values of the Robledo Mountains in southern New Mexico. The Monument includes a major deposit of Paleozoic Era fossilized footprint megatrackways within approximately 5,280 acres.

George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 03-21
Supreme Court Economic Review, Forthcoming
While customary law is capable of creating universally binding rules, the rules that govern its formation allow states to gain an exemption from emerging norms of customary law by remaining persistent objectors. This form of objection requires the objecting state to take express action to oppose an emerging practice by making its objections widely known before the practice solidifies into a binding rule of custom. Likewise, after the custom is formed states have an opportunity to express an objection or depart from it. In this latter case, the departing state does not obtain an exemption from the binding custom unless other states acquiesce to its departure. We model the effects of persistent objector and subsequent objector doctrines in the formation and change of customary law when heterogeneous states are involved.

Very comfortable, such a cute print for baby to check out when nursing. Easy to use, great fit. If you tend to leak just make sure to have thicker nursing pads when wearing as the cotton will hold the liquid if it soaks through. Even comfy to wear at night!
I wear a size 44D/DD. This bra fits true to size and provides support for a larger chest. It's easy to clasp/unclasp with one hand. It's comfortable and washes well on a delicate cycle. I recommend measuring and choosing your size using their size charts.
I wear a size 38DDD. This bra has NO support. The band is irritating and thin, so to get it tight enough to support anything only makes it dig into my skin. The two handed release is nearly impossible while holding a squirming baby--and what baby isn't squirmy when hungry? Definitely returning.
This bra is one of my favorites. It is comfortable, easy to use, and fun!

Skip to comments.AP: Get Ready, Suckers Youre Going to Lose Your Health Insurance
Posted on 05/29/2013 4:33:51 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
After several years of spinning for the Democrats and Barack Obama the liberal media has decided to come clean and tell you what you can expect from Obamacare. And yourre not going to like it. Many Americans are going to lose their plans after all.
Of course, Barack Obama repeatedly promised this would not happen.
And the media let him get away with these lies until now.
The AP reported:
State insurance regulators say many people who buy their own health insurance could get surprises this fall: cancellation notices because their policies arent up to the basic standards of President Barack Obamas overhaul.
These people, and some small businesses, will have to find replacement plans _ and that has some state officials worried about consumer confusion.....
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
Note that Barack Obama, his family, Federal employees, and Congress are all EXEMPT from having to use this coverage.
And unions, Muslims and all our "newly" legal immigrants, I'm sure.
well ya gotta die from something, right? /sarc
It's wht happens when you pass something before you know what's in it. Every dang member of congress, and every dang judge who allowed this pile of crap needs to be removed from office.
Right now, way I figger' there is only one way left to do that, so sayeth Mr. Jefferson!
Of course the GOP could have defunded this in 2010. They do have the constitutional power. Instead they made excuses why they could not and let it build and build getting worse by the day. Now the cure will result in many companies being destroyed because literally BILLIONS have been spent by insurers having to restructure their models to comply with Obamacare. And that further means many people will get financially wiped out in the aftermath.
That's a fact many people just can't seem to admit.
And the 16000 gun toting IRS agents will be right there to make sure its all "Legal"! Obama's Army.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?
We have excellent coverage now, health, dental, vision . . .IF we lose it . . . I will pay the fine. IF we get sick I will go buy insurance. They can't refuse you for a pre-existing condition. IF I stay well, I will bank a lot of cash otherwise spent on premiums. Win. Win.
The surprise will be there will be no insurance.
I dropped my $8K per year plan many years ago (I think it was more now anyway)
I paid cash for all medical/dental bills including a broken arm hospitalization for my daughter, and caps for her teeth and several fillings and glasses, and I am still way more than 20K ahead of the game.
Ask the guys who fired "The shot heard 'round the world".
Note the timing - the weekday after a holiday weekend, the coverage drops expertly timed to come over a year before the next congressional election in hope that you dumbmasses will forget all about this by November 2014.
Timed so that a) most people won't see this story and b) most who get stunned by a loss of coverage will have found new coverage by the time of the election and moved on.
That is what I'm figuring. Family of four coverage, bank the savings IF we lose it from employer, save the premiums, less the fine and in five short years we'd be 50K to the good, ten years 100K and so on. Not counting perhaps gains on investment of said savings . . . we're going on 20% earnings this year so far . . . not to say we'll end the year @ 20%. The libs get really mad when you tell them you won't cooperate and play their little utopia game and you'll pay the fine instead . . . which is what they get with an affirmative action pretender and his gang of Pelosi and Dirty Harry.
No surprise. Fact.
The spousal unit and I have long term health care premiums. Our carrier, who has been in the insurance biz for eons, notified us they are leaving the health care business. With out saying directly so, they did cite enough reasons to say "ObumaCare". Our premium was "sold".
It's still unclear if the new carrier's service will be as good or not.
>> Note that Barack Obama, his family, Federal employees, and Congress are all EXEMPT from having to use this coverage.
That is so wrong.
Almost makes one feel like building a guillotine, doesn't it?
does anyone have a specific example of someone
having their insurance canceled for
the reasons discussed here?
For my dental, I don't have insurance. Between the deductibles insured people pay, the discount I get for cash payment, and me deciding what level of care to get, I can't see how dental insurance is a bargain.
Speaking of-anyone who uses generics made by Ranbaxy in India might want to check this out-
2 of my dads doctors bailed this week.
Liberals will describe this news as "unexpected".
You don't win elections by cleaning up the mess too soon. A gullible public must be burned twice to not trust the match a third time.
Right you are! No, I mean really right! The quote is so wrong, in fact, it's incorrect. Congress is not exempt from Obastardcare.
And thanks to their party over principle theatrics, they won't win the next one either. Sure, they will run an ever more liberal GOP wonderboy like Christie or Rubio...then wonder why they lost.
Except for the fact that they don't want to win to begin with. One bird, two wings.
How many dads do you have?
Rates will shoot higher, faster, as more and more "qwackertoos" drop out to avoid paying now-outrageous prices, banking their "savings" and hoping that enough other idiots will actually buy insurance that don't need it right at that moment so there will be something left when the "smart ones" decide to tap into it.
Glad it's only you that would drop out of the risk pool. Meanwhile, my employer and I will keep buying insurance so it still exists when you need it. Regards.
"How many dads do you have?"
2. My dad and step dad. Why do you ask?
We're not the first, nor the last society to allow a pied piper to come in and lead the masses to the toilet...
I'm just a screaming spectator evidently.

(II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act)." <<
You are not reading that correctly.
The phrase "Notwithstanding any other provision of law" means that Obamacare will not withstand "any other provision of law."
This is going to be a circus.
I just figure the congresscritters will be insured by a pretty nice package no matter what is proclaimed.
What do you do about the half million bucks your intensive care visit rings up before you can get the Obamacare to go into effect (it would never be before the beginning of the following month).
>> I just figure the congresscritters will be insured by a pretty nice package no matter what is proclaimed.
No doubt.
Take my word for it. Before we had our series of "emergencies" we thought we were in pretty good shape. 5 hospital visits for miscellaneous emergencies later and I had a change of perspective.
Want to hear the miracle of it all? I had decided to pay a little more for 100% coverage. It was expensive but I just didn't want to take a chance on exposure. Heck, I even prayed on it.
The second day coverage went active. I got creamed in a rear-ender that totaled my car. A year in therapy. It was the first of a series of hospital required incidents.
I thank GOD every day for motivating me to bump up that premium.
Next year, I'm pretty sure all that will go away. Businesses are going into "Duck and Cover" mode until Obama's gone, and "run and hide" mode if another socialist gets elected.
Is the AP and all the other obama media exempt?
Wonder if anyone at the AP have figured out that they have been used and are about to get punked like the rest of us.
True enough. For now . . . we have excellent health insurance. I really hope that doesn't change but have my doubts & worries. Yep, got rear ended 3 years ago, the day before we were leaving on vacation . . . the next day while touring, I fell and fractured my ankle, bi-mal . . . I still wonder IF that was partially due to the accident the day before as it was my foot that was on the brake pedal at the red light when hit from behind. We only sought repair damages for our vehicle, an Expedition, the other car was probably almost totaled due to the engine compartment buckling up like an aluminum can.
The DNC ParceMasters have excused this by indicating that Obama said that the government would not REQUIRE you to change your plan or doctor...
(.....it's just that they won't be available to you anymore).

Non-salary expenses for the Douglas County School District's communications services more than quadrupled from the 2009-10 academic year to 2012-13, and the district's total communications staff salaries are more than 76 percent higher than neighboring Cherry Creek School District's.
DCSD's communications department non-salary expenses, which added up to just over $21,000 for the 2009-10 academic year, increased to more than $96,000 in 2012-13.
Since July 1, DCSD's communications department already has spent about $54,000 on non-salary expenses — more than half the amount it did in the entire previous year. Of the amount expended since July 1, $20,300 was paid to a marketing company — an amount almost equal to the department's entire 2009-10 non-salary expenses.
The marketing company, Strategic Advantage, helped with content-writing and story production for the district's electronic and printed newsletters, according to DCSD public information officer Michelle Yi, one of six full-time employees in the communications department.
District leaders say communication efforts throughout the community and within the district are greatly enhanced, with internal information serving as a resource for teachers and staff members. New features include a weekly radio show, telephone town halls, a DCSD app, video programs on cable television and YouTube, enhanced internal and crisis communications, and a recently redesigned website and electronic parent newsletter.
"Our key criteria is to make sure we've got avenues of communication for each of our stakeholder groups — parents, employees, students and our community," DCSD internal communications officer Randy Barber told the school board during its August meeting. "As we're reinventing American education in this district, information is a key to that process."
The department recently hired Yi as its new district public information officer — the third in as many years. Yi, who joined DCSD in June, has a career background in Republican politics. Most recently, she was communications director during Joe Coors' unsuccessful 2012 run for Congress.
Former spokespersons have shifted roles, but have not left DCSD.
With the addition of Yi to the communications staff, DCSD is paying about $430,000 in salaries to its six-person department.
By contrast, neighboring Cherry Creek School District employs four communications department staff members with salaries totaling about $244,000. Cherry Creek is the state's fourth-largest school district with about 53,000 students; Douglas County is third with about 67,000 students.
Community relations officer Cinamon Watson, also with a background in Republican campaigns, is the highest paid among the DCSD communications staff at $123,500.
Barber, formerly DCSD's spokesman, shifted within the department to internal communications and a post vacated by a previous employee, district officials said. Watson, who stepped into Barber's role in 2012, leads the department, with most public interaction turned over to Yi earlier this year.
Watson also is interim executive director of the Douglas County Educational Foundation, the district's fundraising arm.
Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said DCSD is widely admired for its communications efforts.
"They've done amazing with the amount of time and resources they've had," she told the board in August. "We've had many visitors come and look at our communications relations department and say it's the most comprehensive, innovative community relations department they've seen anywhere."
According to an email sent by Yi, "In 2011, the Community Relations Department reorganized and developed a comprehensive plan to meet a mission of communicating, educating, and informing our four stakeholder groups: students, parents, employees, and the community. The communications plan is a two-pronged effort to reach both internal and external audiences."

Every aspect of Alpinestars Gravity Shorts is specifically designed to do one thing–keep you comfortable while you hammer down tight, sketchy singletrack. This is easier said than done, but Alpinestars has been in the game long enough to know how to keep you safe (relatively) and comfortable while you throw down on your your bike.
Alpinestars built Gravity Shorts with strategically located stretch and vent panels. On the back and in the crotch, spandex panels stretch for an unlimited range of motion. You won't ever feel Gravity shorts bind up while you ride. This also adds to the shorts' durability, because it stretches rather than tears. The synthetic fabric pulls moisture away from your body to keep you dry and comfortable, even in the heat of the summer. Alpinestars also designed Gravity shorts with cooling mesh panels on the thighs that push hot, stale air out and allow fresh, cool air to flow in and around your body. On the back of the shorts, an abrasion-resistant ripstop panel adds durability and protection.
The Gravity Shorts are designed to fit over your knee pads. Dual tabbed hook-and-loop straps at the waist allow you to exactly dial in your fit. The hidden front zip makes it easy to get in an out, and TPR details and printed graphics add a little style.
Alpinestars Gravity Shorts come in Black/White, Blue Marine/Violet, Yellow Fluo/Black, and Red/Black and are available in even sizes 26 to 40.
Whether you are defying gravity off of a monster jump, or gravity is weighing you down as you scratch and claw up a near-vertical slope, one thing is for sure, you must be cool and comfortable while you take on the various challenges that the trail, or lack thereof, may present. The Gravity Shorts offer extended vented panels on the thighs, two-way stretch inserts in crotch area, and a two-way stretch construction on the back of the pants, ensuring you stay cool and well fitted, yet free to move accordingly. The hidden front zipper with a snap closure will ensure that you stay covered up when gravity decides to pull on your zipper.
These shorts are very comfortable. I've used them on several 3 to 4 hour xc and all mountain rides with some road or xc style shorts underneath. They didn't get to hot. I wear padded compression shorts under them for some rougher rides and they work great. The shorts work well with knee pads. They're very durable had some sliding crashes with them on and they've held up just fine. I have not been able to use these shorts at a bike park for some serious all day dh, because the parks haven't opened yet. I have high hopes they will succeed the demanding riding I will be doing when they do open.The Gravity shorts are comfortable durable and look badass!!! Highly recommend.

VIDEO: Trout steals 30th base, falls one homer shy of second 30/30 seasonOctober 2nd, 2016, 1:57 pm by MARK CARLISLE
Mike Trout stole his 30th base of the season in the bottom of the first in the final game of the season Sunday in Anaheim. With 29 home runs, Trout fell one homer short of becoming the 14th player all-time to have multiple 30/30 seasons.
Jett Bandy replaced Trout as a pinch runner in the sixth inning. Had he reached 30 in the home run column as well Sunday, Trout, at age 25, would have become the youngest player to join ...Read the rest of this entry »

Maxim Bolt, researcher, British Museum
What does researching money – on the ground – actually involve? Recently, in my ongoing fieldwork in Malawi, it has involved a lot of time in The Corner Salon (this is a pseudonym, in the sense that I made it up, as it is ethical research practice to keep subjects studied anonymous), a small, wooden structure painted in the bright colours of a mobile phone operator. This may be a little surprising. But, unlike practitioners of many other social sciences – with their broad coverage and formal methods like survey questionnaires – anthropologists attempt to get in deeper. This means getting to know, personally, the people whose lives we are learning about.
For the Money in Africa project, it means coming to understand the monetary priorities and concerns of Malawian businesspeople themselves. It means appreciating how The Corner's owners – sisters Yami and Flora (also pseudonyms) – navigate their salon through Malawi's current foreign exchange shortage.
The Corner is in a high-density residential area of Blantyre, Malawi's economic hub, and the salon is facing hard times. The economy has been badly hit by recent foreign exchange shortages – the result partly of donor funding cuts – and people are more careful about spending their money. But for Yami and Flora, the difficulties run much deeper. The sisters used to buy their hair extensions, straightener, and conditioner in South Africa, but it has become much harder to acquire South African Rand. They have turned to buying from Dar es Salaam, in Tanzania, because it is easier to buy Tanzanian shillings.
But even this is no simple matter. Yami currently relies on her husband's import-export business for transport. He cannot make another trip until he has sold his current stock, yet another challenge in Malawi's climate of uncertainty. Yami worries that she will not have stock in time for her Christmas clientele. Flora, meanwhile, is considering returning to South Africa, to return to her earlier employment there as a domestic worker. At least that way, she reasons, she can remit her earnings in the form of hair products, keeping the salon in stock. This is, of course, a great way to sidestep the foreign exchange problem. But Yami is worried. The departure will break up the salon's team, leaving her alone with the business, as well as her own and Flora's children.
This is a story about two sisters' business, and their attempts to import hair products. But, through it, we can begin to understand what monetary problems look like in reality, today, as small businesspeople navigate the region's different currencies. Such a perspective is key to the British Museum's Money in Africa project, which investigates money in action, beyond the glass cases of the Museum. The results of this research will be drawn together in a broad-ranging, comparative, collaborative and multidisciplinary study.

The flawless beaches and enchanting waters of this idyllic paradise will lure you in and fascinate you with their incredible hidden treasures. While the affluent, laid back feel and tranquil ambience will offer complete escapism. But there is far more to this Caribbean paradise than meets the eye, with great duty free shopping on signature brands, exciting animal encounters and natural beauty that will take your breath away.
Stingray City Sandbar is one of Grand Cayman's top attractions where you can experience touching and feeding the rays that congregate near the shore. Divers of all levels will love the dynamic environment and fascinating marine life that surrounds The Kittiwake, a sunken submarine vessel that resides along the northern tip of the Seven Mile Beach. Embrace the tactile experience of the Cayman Turtle Farm - be fascinated by the turtle encounters and animal feeding, before cooling off under the waterfalls at Breakers Lagoon.
Adventure holidays in the Cayman Islands range from energetic hikes to peaceful bird watching. It's hard to avoid the appeal of the powder-white sands and glistening waters, especially with the abundance of water sports on offer - from kayaking to kite boarding and paddleboards. Venture beyond the sugar sand beaches and take in the breathtaking flora and fauna - from the Silver Thatch Palm, the national tree to the mangrove forests and wild banana orchids or unleash the explorer in you and see the fascinating caves.
Grand Cayman's most famous beach, the Seven Mile Beach, boasts 5.5 miles of crescent sand. Situated on the islands west coast, it regularly features in the Caribbean's best beaches list. Head to the northern tip for a taste of carefree island life at Cayman Kai or take the family to the shallow waters of Rum Point. Experience phenomenal snorkelling at Smith Cove or soak up the lively, sociable vibe of Public Beach.
Hop aboard a luxury catamaran and take a scenic cruise to the Stingray City Sandbar. This early morning tour means you'll beat the crowds to this popular spot. Swim in the crystal-clear waters with the southern stingrays, before heading to the coral reef for snorkelling. At Stingray City, a series of shallow sandbars, you'll be surrounded by more than two dozen rays – take in the moment as they glide past. Aboard the boat you'll be greeted with spectacular views, as you enjoy your breakfast.

ACE Fit Share
Starting Position: Stand to the side of a row of hurdles so that they are lying to your left. Your feet should be hip-width apart with the knees slightly bent. Bend your hips and drop into an athletic ready position so that your knees are slightly bent and your chest is directly over your toes. Your arms should be bent with the elbows fixed at approximately ninety degrees. During the drill ensure that the swinging is coming from the shoulder joint and not from the elbows. Shift your bodyweight so that your weight is on your right leg. Pick the left foot up so the left hip is at ninety degrees and prepare to place the left foot on the ground between the first two hurdles while pushing the right foot in to the ground to move your body to your left. Keep the abdominals engaged and spine straight during this drill. Keep your feet parallel so your toes are pointed straight in the same direction that you are facing.
As you plant your left foot in the space between the first and second hurdle, explosively drive your right knee up to create a ninety-degree angle at the hip. Take the right foot over the hurdle and bring it to the ground next to the left foot.
Explosively push your right foot into the ground and drive the left knee up continuing to run over the hurdles allowing both feet to land in the space in between each individual hurdle.
Exercise Variation: Once you have run over the hurdles moving to your right, change directions and run over the hurdles moving to your left. Once you establish the rhythm and pace of the movement, keep your head and eyes raised so that you are looking straight ahead where your opponent would be during an athletic competition.Make sure to land softly as you step between the hurdles, land on the ball of the foot and roll down to the heel and keep your weight back in your hips as you run through the drill.
