If approached by a threatening person in the library or if a threatening situation is observed between staff and/or library users, staff members should either call the University Police (911 or 210-567-2800) directly or alert another staff member to do so.
If the person is directly in front of you or near the phone, the code for alerting police and other staff that there is a physical threat involved is to ask for Form 10-33. A Panic Button located at the Circulation Desk will ring directly at the UT Police station.
If an active shooter (person carrying a weapon and/or actively engaged in shooting) is in the building, evacuate if possible. If unable to evacuate or if unsure where the shooter is, hide in a safe place where the shooter is less likely to find you. Staff offices and most classrooms are best because they can be locked from inside. Once in a safe place, call UT Police and explain the situation. Silence all cell phones and pagers.
If a suspect is in the vicinity, the university will notify the campus through HSC Alerts. Follow directions on how to react. If directed to evacuate the building and/or campus, grab your wallet/purse, lock your office door and evacuate immediately through the nearest exit and help others to escape, if possible.
More information can be found in this Active Shooter Pocket Card.
Biological agents are organisms or toxins that have illness-producing effects on people, livestock and crops. Because biological agents cannot necessarily be detected and may take time to grow and cause a disease, it is almost impossible to know that a biological attack has occurred. If government officials become aware of a biological attack through an informant or warning by terrorists, they would most likely instruct citizens to either seek shelter where they are and seal the premises or evacuate immediately. A person affected by a biological agent requires the immediate attention of professional medical personnel. Some agents are contagious, and victims may need to be quarantined. Also, some medical facilities may not receive victims for fear of contaminating the hospital population. Contact UT Police, or Environmental Health & Safety officers and Library Administration. Library Administration will determine whether to activate the Library Disaster Team.
Evacuate the building. If items are falling off bookshelves or from the ceiling, get under a sturdy table or desk until it is safe to leave the building. Call University Police at 911. Contact Library Administration. They will determine whether to activate the Library Disaster Team.
When responding to a phone-in bomb threat, remain calm and take the below-listed steps. Get as much information from the caller as possible. Keep the caller on the line and take notes on everything that is said. If you have caller ID, note the phone number of caller. The following specific questions should be asked of the caller, even though it is unlikely the caller will provide personal information:
- When is the bomb going to explode?
- Where is the bomb right now?
- What does the bomb look like?
- What kind of bomb is it?
- What will cause it to explode?
- Did you place the bomb?
- Why did you place the bomb?
- Where are you calling from?
- What is your address?
- What is your name?
- What is your phone number?
Write down the exact words of the call. Include any slang, jargon, or other distinctive words used. Record the time that the call was received, the time the bomb is supposed to explode, and the time the call ends. Be alert to the characteristics of the caller's voice and the background noises of the call. Record the following information:
- Male or female
- Estimated age
- Tone of voice
- Accent
- Background noises
- Is the voice familiar?
If the caller allows conversation to continue, try to get to another telephone to alert the telephone operator. Do not hang up because the operator may be able to assist in tracing the call.
After you have notified UT Police of a bomb threat, do not touch any suspicious packages. Evacuate the building.
Chemical agents are poisonous gases, liquids or solids that have toxic effects on people, animals or plants. Most chemical agents cause serious injuries or death. Severity of injuries depends on the type and amount of the chemical agent used, and the duration of exposure.
In the event of a chemical agent attack, seek shelter immediately. Do not leave the shelter to assist others as you could be fatally harmed. Contact UT Police, or Environmental Health & Safety officers and Library Administration. Library Administration will determine whether to activate the Library Disaster Team.
If you notice or detect smoke or fire:
- Activate the alarm, if it has not already been activated
- Call the University Police (911)—they will call the fire department
- Evacuate the building
If the alarm sounds, it is the responsibility of University Police to investigate its source. If the alarm is not silenced within one minute execute evacuation procedures.
If you detect leaks or water damage to library materials, or if you enter a flooded area of the library, contact the Library Administration, who will determine whether to activate the Library Disaster Team. Also contact Facilities Management immediately.
- Do not touch or step into standing water—it could be electrified
- Do not touch a person who has been electrocuted. Dial 911 for help.
- Do not touch or move wet books or other materials unless directed.
- Locate the water source. If water is coming from above, cover the ranges with plastic sheeting. Get the emergency plastic from the disaster materials storage area (5th floor – storage room by kitchen or emergency supply cabinet near staff elevators on the 3rd floor) and cover any materials, equipment, etc. that might get damaged.
- Place plastic buckets or waste baskets under leaks. Trash cans may be used to collect water.
- Coordinate with Facilities Management to reduce temperature and relative humidity and increase air circulation to reduce the chance of mold. Use portable fans to increase air circulations. Monitor temperature and humidity throughout the recovery process. Conditions are normal when temperature is 72 degrees F and relative humidity is 40-50%. Higher levels may cause mold.
- Contact specially trained recovery experts at BMS Catastrophe (1-800-433-2940, or 210-542-4180-cell).
- If the recovery experts cannot help due to widespread disaster, follow the directions for recovering wet books and records in Appendix 4 and Appendix 5.
Hazardous Materials Spills/Incidents
UT Health Science Center has a pre-arranged contract with Eagle Environmental, 1-800-336-0909. Contact the Library Administration Chain of Command, who will determine whether to activate the Library Disaster Team. Also contact Facilities Management immediately.

Eye, Magnifying Glass, Microscope
photographs by Bruce Iverson
There are many ways to look at things around us. You can look at flowers with your eyes and see beautiful colors and patterns.
Magnifying Glass
A magnifying glass makes the flower look bigger. You see details that your eye missed.
And with a very powerful microscope you can see these spiky balls. They are the grains of powdery pollen that bees collect when they make honey—and that can make you sneeze!
You might see this orb weaver spider spinning its web in your garden.
Magnifying Glass
Look closer and you can see its head and where its legs attach to its body.
If you could look at it under a microscope, you might not even know you were looking at a spider's head.
You can see a leaf with your eyes.
Magnifying Glass
With a magnifying glass you can look closer at the veins that carry food and water to the plant.
But you need a microscope to see the tiny openings on the leaf that let air in and out.
- microscope:
- A microscope is used to see things that are too small to see with our eyes alone. Microscopes can make tiny things look big.
- Describe the shape and color of the flower and of the leaf. How are the properties different?
- Try to guess what kind of food has these properties. The food is red and round. It has seeds on the outside. It is juicy and tastes sweet. What is the food?
- Now write a list of properties for an object. Do not name what the object is. See if someone can guess what the object is by reading your list.

St. Lawrence's proximity both to Canada and to the Adirondacks and the endless recreation opportunities the region affords were immediately attractive to Ed Forbes in his search for colleges. After matriculating, he chose a first-year program that compared Canadian and American cultures. He found the course, taught by Dana Professor of Canadian Studies Robert Thacker, retired Professor of Environmental Studies Alan Schwartz and Associate Professor of Sociology Patrice LeClerc, to be a revelation.
"While having so much in common, it's remarkable how different Canada and the United States really are," Forbes says. "I was immediately interested in the differing stories of the two nations' development and decided to pursue the rest of my studies at St. Lawrence to better understand the nuances of those stories."
As a sophomore, Forbes took advantage of St. Lawrence's opportunity to pursue both a double major and a combined major. He declared a double major of English and History and combined his History major with Canadian Studies.
"In my years as an upperclassman, I took course after course in English, History and Canadian Studies that carried my comparative education forward," Forbes said. "Looking back at it, I might as well describe my major as North American comparative studies."
Forbes' academic experience at St. Lawrence culminated in his senior year when he pursued an honors thesis titled "Frederic Remington's Canada," in which he examined the influence of the famous artist and illustrator — who hailed from Canton — on American perceptions of Canada.
"So many Americans, when they hear any mention of Canada, immediately think of Mounties, the officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who, in their mounted patrols of Canada's western provinces and territories at the close of the 19th century, became as iconic as America's cavalry," Forbes said. "Remington was one of the first, if not the first, illustrative journalists to depict the Mounties in American magazines."
In addition to writing his thesis, for which he earned departmental honors, Forbes was also one of about 15 St. Lawrence students who traveled across Canada with Dr. Thacker on a two-week train trip that started in Toronto and included stops in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Victoria and Vancouver.
"We explored historic sites, met with experts on Canadian literature and savored the regional differences in Canadian culture," Forbes recalls. "It was a seminal moment in my St. Lawrence experience."

Gary, Winder is still seems like small town to me when I visit there. There is a lot of growth to the north and west side of Winder. I lived there until maybe 6 or 7, so saying I grew up in Winder was not totally correct. My grandparents lived there, so we were down two or three times per year, until I got married. Only to return for racing at Road Atlanta or the GM National at Atlanta Drag way and funerals. I have one remaining aunt that tells me "don't wait until I'm dead to come and see me". So, for the past several years I have been going down once a year to she her.My fondest memories was the rabbit hunting with my uncles and the "Fourth of July" celebration where they had a "Greasy Pig Chasing" contest where you got to keep the pig if you could catch that slippery rascal. When I found out, that I could not catch or hang on to a 50 lb. pig, I just started watching. What a hoot, I laughed even harder as I grew older watching kids and some adults try their luck for some bacon, pork chops and barbecue. My wife and I celebrated our 41st at the Carlisle GM National. Congrats to you and yours !!!TMREddieTMR,Eddie

(KUTV) — A video went viral Tuesday showing a 2012 interview with KISS, who demand the interviewer, identified as Gustavo, remove his Iron Maiden t-shirt, saying "It doesn't show respect."
As Gustavo begins the interview, guitarist/singer Paul Stanley leans over, points to the Iron Maiden logo on Gustavo's shirt and says, "I have a question to ask. KISS is K-I-S-S. This does not spell KISS, Gustavo. You made a big mistake."
Gustavo expresses that he chose the shirt specially for the interview.
"I don't want him wearing an Iron Maiden shirt," bassist/co-lead singer Gene Simmons says to someone off screen.
Simmons then suggests to Gustavo that he turn the t-shirt inside-out or wear it backwards.
"Gustavo is very smart," Stanley jokes. "That's how you get a free KISS t-shirt, you show up with the wrong shirt."
Gustavo fights back, asking "Do you guys want every journalist to wear KISS t-shirts when doing KISS interviews?" The band responds, saying that it's about courtesy.
Stanley tries to clarify that they love Iron Maiden, "We love Steve [Harris], we love Bruce [Dickinson], we love Nicko [McBrain]. We love them all, but you're at a KISS concert. It doesn't show respect. You're in our house."
KISS drummer Eric Singer adds that "if you went to a Raiders game, you wouldn't wear the other team's jersey."
Simmons finally approaches Gustavo and asks him to do him a favor by turning the t-shirt backwards. Gustavo removes his t-shirt and flips it inside-out. The band applauds in response.
The band then awarded Gustavo with a free KISS t-shirt, which he put on to finally conduct the interview.

Hello I want a logo and sign for a fruit and vegetable store in Spanish (Guatemala).

Thermagasket is the leader in High Performance Thermal Head Gasket Repair with an incredible 94% success rate.
What is Thermagasket?
Thermagasket is a state-of-the-art, 2 part Elemental Carbon Metallic Alloy Repair System.
Thermagasket will in no way clog, plug or damage your cooling system, the particulates in Thermagasket give the repair extreme shear strength to withstand the extreme heat and pressure fluctuations of any internal combustion engine...Guaranteed!
The Thermagasket repair is performed with the vehicle under a load and the repair is accomplished under the same conditions as the vehicle will be driven
Don't be lied to: When other companies try to tell you they have "specially formulated products for your specific vehicle", this is a marketing gimmick, the product either works or it doesn't. All cooling systems work basically the same and run at a normal operating temperature of 185 degrees or above, claiming to blend a specific product that works better in a Subaru than a Toyota is just plain bull! -- Yes, Thermagasket does have a specific product for higher compression diesel engines, we found a little more viscous material worked better for this application due to the cylinder pressures.
Truth: Now there are many different way's to perform the treatment process as well as manipulate the cooling system on a specific vehicle depending on the symptoms you are experiencing, this is where having the hands-on experience of thousands of vehicles repaired at your fingertips comes into play.
Thermagasket has been used in some of the most demanding environments available.
Our commitment to value and customer service are second to none.
We strive to earn our customers trust by treating everyone with the respect they deserve.

Makers Of Nutella Force Fan Who Created World Nutella Day To Shut It Down [Updated]
from the raining-on-everyone's-parade dept
Update: As of today, there are reports that Ferrero has been in contact with Sarah Russo and has worked out an arrangement by which Nutella Day will be reinstated with the company's blessing. The company is blaming the cease & desist on over-zealous lawyers as opposed to any public backlash. This may satisfy some people, while others will note that aggressive intellectual property laws and protection lead to this kind of collateral damage all the time.
Ferrero, the makers of Nutella, a hazelnut/chocolate spread that enjoys a love from people that I'll never understand (disclaimer: I hate chocolate), sure doesn't like anyone to use anything remotely like its name ever. You may not recall that it pushed back against the P2P network Gnutella a decade ago over their name being too similar. While you could argue that might be at least somewhat understandable, how about when the company went legal on a smoothie shop for selling a shake that used its product and had the daring gall to, you know, tell people what was in it? Well, perhaps you think that at least Ferrero was targeting a commercial enterprise, even if doing so resulted in one less shop buying Nutella. I mean, it isn't like the company was going after ordinary customers who liked its product, right?
Well, ChurchHatesTucker writes in to inform us that Ferrero is doing exactly that, because f#$@ the fans, damn it. See, there is apparently something called World Nutella Day, which is ironically on my birthday (God, I hate Nutella...), where one website encourages everyone on the planet to cook something with Nutella. This, naturally, requires people to buy Nutella. Or it did, rather, until Ferrero threatened the creator of World Nutella Day with a cease and desist, forcing her to shut down the site completely. Via World Nutella Day founder, Sara Rosso:
On May 25, 2013, I'll be darkening the World Nutella Day site, nutelladay.com, and all social media presence (Facebook, Twitter), in compliance with a cease-and-desist I received from lawyers representing Ferrero, SpA (makers of Nutella). The cease-and-desist letter was a bit of a surprise and a disappointment, as over the years I've had contact and positive experiences with several employees of Ferrero, SpA., and with their public relations and brand strategy consultants, and I've always tried to collaborate and work together in the spirit and goodwill of a fan-run celebration of a spread I (to this day) still eat.Yup, you read that correctly. The makers of Nutella darkened a website purely designed to promote its product, even after directly working with Rosso for the last seven years. It's almost as if Ferrero doesn't want anyone to eat Nutella, with which I happen to whole-heartedly agree. No attempt to work out some kind of an arrangement, no even-handed license of the trademark, no humanity whatsoever. It's just, "Hey, thanks for being a fan, now shut it all down because the lawyers flipped out and somehow think you're harming us."
Honestly, the stunning part to me is how genteel Rosso appears to be about all this.
I've spent hundreds of hours interacting with you, the fans, collecting and sharing your contributions, updating the World Nutella Day website with more than 700 recipes which were painstakingly gathered from bloggers sending me their posts and by scouring the internet for the best Nutella recipes, Tweeting and sharing on Facebook your favorite sayings, stories, and links about Nutella, and encouraging everyone to try it just once! Thanks for letting me be a part of that – it was truly a labor of love by a fan and something I did as a fan, in my (very little) spare time, and I have a full-time job I love. I hope that February 5th stays alive in your hearts and on your spoons, and hopefully it's arrivederci (see you soon) and not addio (goodbye).It's hard to imagine someone sounding so sweet over the company of which she's a fan pulling such a brash and damnable move. I'd be livid, not hoping to start the site back up once Ferrero had a stupidectomy. I might even be encouraging everyone within earshot not to buy from a company that would pull this kind of stunt. Then again, perhaps I'm not as sweet as Russo because I'm not filled with Nutella spread. Who knows, but I'm sure there are many former customers of Nutella today.

Jamie Oliver's Panna Cotta with Roasted Rhubarb Recipe (slightly adapted)
I'm back from my 12-day US trip, when I managed to present a paper in Bloomington, spend 4 wonderful days in St Louis with Alanna, and finally wander around the hot-hot-hot New York for five days. During the trip I ate lots of food and met many lovely foodbloggers, and I'll certainly tell you more soon..
But it's good to be back home, where the temperatures are much more tolerable, and where my dear K. had baked a batch of cannelés to welcome me back :)
I thought that rhubarb season would be over by the time I got back. But no. Mysteriously, a whole basketful of rosy stalks has appeared in our garage, and I've been given various hints about various rhubarb desserts I should be making in the coming days. I'm an obedient girl, so I'll think of something. One thing I'm tempted to do again is this delicious vanilla panna cotta with roast rhubarb. The recipe is from Jamie Oliver, but I've very slightly adapted it (I used less vanilla and slightly more gelatine, instead of lemon zest I used some pure orange oil). I made it for the panna cotta cooking event on my Estonian site - you can check out the fabulous contributions here.
Vanilla Panna Cotta with Roasted Rhubarb
(Vanilje panna cotta röstitud rabarbriga)
Serves 4
For panna cotta:
100 ml milk
1 vanilla pod, halved lengthwise
0.5 tsp pure orange oil
400 ml whipping cream (35%)
2 to 3 gelative leaves
50 g icing/confectioners sugar
For roasted rhubarb:
500 g rhubarb (peeled, if necessary)
100 g caster sugar
To make panna cotta:
Place the gelatine leaves into a cold water and let to soak for 5 to 10 minutes (I used 2 gelatine leaves, but you can use 3 for a slightly firmer texture).
Mix the milk, vanilla pod, vanilla seeds, orange oil and half the cream in a small saucepan. Bring slowly into a boil and simmer on a gentle heat for 10 minutes or until reduced by a third.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the soaked gelatine leaves until dissolved.
Allow to cool at a room temperature, then place in the fridge for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the vanilla pods.
Whip together the icing sugar with the remaining cream. Mix the two cream mixtures together and divide into four serving moulds. Cover and chill for at least an hour, preferably four.
To roast rhubarb:
Meanwhile chop the rhubarb into 5cm pieces, sprinkle with sugar and roast at 200C/400F for 30 minutes, until softened, but not mushy. (I've added chopped candied ginger sometimes - gives an extra kick to the rhubarb).
To serve:
Dip the small moulds into some simmering water for 5 seconds to loosen the panna cotta a little, then turn it out on to a plate. Spoon the roasted rhubarb onto the plate and serve.

Some months back, Mark Wahlberg made headlines when he told Men's Journal that if he had been on the planes that hit the towers on 9/11, "it wouldn't have went down the way it did." IE, Marky Mark would've made the terrorists feel his vibrations and taken out the entire funky bunch with a Wahlburgers knuckle sangwich. Now, former Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce, the guy who authored that controversial immigration bill (SB 1070) is in the news for making similar statements about the Aurora theater shootings on his public Facebook page, saying "If someone had been prepared and armed, they could've stopped this 'bad' man from most of this tragedy."
Yes, "bad" was in sarcastiquotes. Draw your own conclusions there. Here's the full text of the now-deleted post, courtesy of the Wonkette screengrab:
This is certainly a time for prayers for the victims and the families of victims in this horrific crime in Colorado. I just had a call from a very good friend of mine in San Diego, California who's [sic] neice [sic] Kim, Kim's best friend Mikayla and Kevin were in the Theater [sic] in the front rows. Kim and Kevin got out and as he was trying to get Mikayla out she said she was shot. As the rush of the crowd exiting through the exit door pushed Kevin and Kim out they lost Mikayla. As of my phone conversation they were not aware of her status. What a heart breaking story. Had someone been prepared and armed they could have stopped this "bad" man from most of this tragedy. He was two and three feet away from folks, I understand he had to stop and reload. Where were the men of flight 93???? Someone should have stopped this man. Lives were lost because of a bad man, not because he had a weapon, but because noone [sic] was prepared to stop it. Had they been prepared to save their lives or lives of others, lives would have been saved. All that was needed is one Courages/Brave [sic] man prepared mentally or otherwise to stop this it could have been done. When seconds count, police are ony [sic] minutes away. My prayers are with all of those suffering from this sensless [sic] act, may God be with them in this moment of pain and heartache.
I hate to depress you this badly early in the day, but the post had 3,400 likes before it was deleted. Now, whether you're Michael Moore releasing a statement the day after the shootings or this barely-literate simpleton scrawling John Wayne fan fiction on your Facebook page, why not wait for the blood to try first, huh? (Also, not to be cruel, but I'm pretty sure the men of Flight 93 are dead). It's pretty easy to Monday Morning Quarterback this sh*t after the fact. "If this kid hadn't been able to get a gun this wouldn't have happened! If other people in the theater had had guns there would be less dead people! If The Dark Knight wasn't such a popular franchise this wouldn't have happened in a theater!" Yes, thanks, very helpful. If you ask me, it's high time that the phrase "Yeah, and if your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle" make a comeback.
Silly Russell Pearce. You're just leaving yourself open for the argument that it would've have happened if they hadn't deported the illegal Mexican who used to man the emergency exit.

My name is Sid, I'm 20-something and I live in London, UK. I'm a self-proclaimed JEDI MASTER in applied linguistic and also a web developer (in the making). In my spare time, I give language lessons in French, English and sometimes Spanish.
I could list all my interest down here, but I'm sure from that would be boring, so I will share with you some of my interests with as we go along.
Well, I hope you enjoy the ride.

Find out whether you''re a good candidate for vision correction through LASIK surgery.
If you''re tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, you may wonder whether laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery is right for you. After all, LASIK surgery has a good track record and most people are satisfied with the results.
However, LASIK surgery isn''t the most appropriate vision-correction option for everyone, and it''s not without risks. Read on to determine whether you''re a good candidate for LASIK surgery.
LASIK surgery is a type of refractive eye surgery. During the procedure, an eye surgeon creates a flap in the cornea, and then uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct focusing problems in the eye. LASIK surgery is most appropriate for people who have a moderate degree of:
A good surgical outcome depends on careful evaluation of your eyes before the surgery.
By the early to mid-40s, most adults have lost some ability to focus on nearby objects (presbyopia), which results in difficulty reading small print or doing other close-up tasks. The condition may continue to worsen until about age 65.
If you have presbyopia, LASIK surgery may give you clear distance vision, but it can actually worsen your ability to see objects close up.
To maintain your ability to see close objects, you might choose to have your vision corrected for monovision. With monovision, one eye is corrected for distant vision, and the other eye is corrected for near vision. However, not everyone is able to adjust to or tolerate monovision. It''s best to do a trial with contact lenses before having a permanent surgical procedure.
As with any surgery, LASIK surgery carries risks, including:
You''re more likely to experience complications from LASIK surgery if you:
Have a condition that may impair your ability to heal. Diseases that affect your immune system, including autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and others) and immunodeficiency diseases (HIV), increase the risk of incomplete healing, infection and other complications.
Taking an immunosuppressive medication also increases the risk of a poor outcome after LASIK surgery.
Have anatomic concerns. LASIK surgery may be inappropriate if your corneas are too thin, your corneal surface is extremely irregular, or you have a condition in which the cornea thins and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape (keratoconus).
LASIK surgery also may not be an appropriate option if you have an abnormal lid position, deep-set eyes or other anatomic concerns.
You might also rethink having LASIK surgery if:
If you''re not a good candidate for LASIK surgery but you''re still interested in vision-correction surgery, alternatives may include:
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). PRK is sometimes used for people who have a low to moderate degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness, those who have nearsightedness with astigmatism, or those who have farsightedness without astigmatism.
PRK removes the thin surface layer of the cornea (epithelium). The surgeon then uses a laser to flatten the cornea or make its curve steeper. It may take three to six months to reach peak visual improvement.
PRK has become less common as LASIK has gained favor, primarily because healing after LASIK is more predictable and usually involves less discomfort and scarring.
Laser-assisted epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). LASEK is similar to LASIK surgery, but the procedure allows the surgeon to remove less of the cornea, making it a good option for people who have thin corneas.
People who play sports or have jobs that carry a high risk of eye injuries might also prefer LASEK because a thinner flap in the cornea means the cornea will be less vulnerable to serious damage should the flap be torn before it can heal.
Implantable lenses. Phakic intraocular lenses are implantable lenses that are surgically inserted in front of the natural lens to improve vision.
Implantable lenses can correct high degrees of nearsightedness not easily corrected by other surgical procedures.
The treatment is relatively new. Possible complications, such as cataracts, increased pressure within the eye and damage to the cornea over time, remain a concern.
Intracorneal ring segments. Intracorneal ring segments may sometimes be used to treat mild nearsightedness. A small incision is made in the cornea, and two crescent-shaped plastic rings are placed where the cornea joins the white part of the eye (sclera) on the cornea''s outer edge.
The rings can flatten the cornea so that light rays focus more properly on the retina. If necessary, the rings can later be removed.
To make the most appropriate choice about refractive surgery, weigh the options, including the benefits and risks, with your eye doctor. Good results depend on careful evaluation of your eyes before the surgery as well as a clear understanding of the limitations of each procedure.

I first got that information a few years ago to block a rumored bill. At that time, LEO stats were much better than the general public, but about half as good as CHLs. I suspect the gap between LEOs and CHLs is now much greater because of the huge change in the comparison since 2007. The move from TPC §46.15(b) to §46.15(a) is exactly why I want the numbers again.Jumping Frog wrote:It might also prove useful in an effort to move CHL's from TPC §46.15(b) to 46.15(a).Charles L.

It might prove handy when some folks try to water down or repeal the Texas version of the so-called "Castle Doctrine."
A variation on the theme, "better to have ammo and not need it, than to need it and not have it". Especially if getting the information takes months.
These are not numbers I ever posted, nor do I anticipate doing so in the future. The goal isn't to hurt LEO image, it's to promote the interests of CHLs.

SACRAMENTO — A 64-year-old prison inmate has been sentenced to death for the 1980 murders of two students at the University of California, Davis.
A Sacramento County Superior Court judge on Friday issued the death penalty to Richard Hirschfield, who was found guilty in November of the "sweetheart murders."
Hirschfield was convicted for abducting and killing John Riggins and Sabrina Gonsalves. He was also convicted of sexually assaulting Gonsalves.
The victims were 18-year-old college freshmen when they were kidnapped and killed on Dec. 20, 1980. Their bodies were discovered two days later about 30 miles away.
Prosecutors say they were tortured, their heads were wrapped in duct tape and their throats were slashed.
Hirschfield was in a Washington state prison for child rape eight years ago when investigators matched his DNA to evidence from Riggins' van.
