Israeli Druze send letter to UN asking to set up polling stations for Syrian presidential election in June. 'It's our right. Assad is the suitable leader', local resident says.

Druze residents living in the Israeli Golan Heights filed a request Wednesday to the commander of the UN base near the Quneitra Crossing demanding that they be permitted to exercise their right to vote in the Syrian presidential elections.
They specified in their appeal their wish that polling stations be set up in their villages in the Golan Heights so that they would be able to take part in choosing the next president of Syria, in elections that will be held on June 3.

"It's our right to participate in the Syrian presidential elections, as it is the right of any Syrian citizen," said Druze resident Ata Farhat. "We speak on behalf of the majority of the Golan Heights residents, more than 80 percent want to take part in the elections. Farhat added that "each one can choose whomever he likes," stressing that the choice is not limited to current-President Bashar Assad.
Farhat believes that the elections are a significant component in the democratic system his community is trying to construct. "All we want is to maintain a strong and unified Syria. I hope that our request is accepted and we will continue to try until our voices are heard. I believe that the request is harmless, and is part of the democracy we are striving to achieve; if our call is not answered, there's nothing we can do."
According to estimates, no surprises are expected should the Druze in the Golan Heights vote, as the majority intends to vote for Assad.
"If they let us take part in the elections, I will choose Assad," said a local resident from the town of Majdal Shams. "Assad is the suitable leader, he can defend the country from the plot against Syria, behind which stand Israel and the United States, and Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Assad is a wholesome, strong individual, which is why we need a leader like him."

The Bay County Sheriff's Office and some local antique car buffs joined forces to help raise money and collect toys for Project 25.
Every car owner at the car show had to donate one brand new toy. Project 25 was started 23 years ago to make sure some of Bay County's neediest children received toys for Christmas.
Officers collect toys and money throughout the year and then invite children selected by school guidance counselors to a Christmas party.
If you'd like to donate to Project 25, take an unwrapped toy or cash donation to the Bay County Sheriff's Office.

Disgraced jurists should not get judicial immunity, attorney says
The two former judges accused in a kids-for-cash corruption scheme committed the bulk of their alleged wrongdoing while acting as administrators, not judges, and should not be granted judicial immunity in federal lawsuits filed in the aftermath of the scandal, attorneys for plaintiffs in the lawsuits said Thursday.
Former Judges Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan asked to be dismissed from the lawsuits in July, claiming they were well within the bounds of their judicial and administrative duties when they eliminated funding from a county-owned juvenile detention facility and redirected young defendants to the private facilities they had allegedly been bribed to support.
Ciavarella and Conahan were indicted Wednesday on 48 counts stemming from the scandal, including racketeering, bribery, extortion and money laundering.
"In their unlawful and self-dealing pursuit of personal wealth, Ciavarella and Conahan profoundly undermined core principles of our judicial system," the attorneys said in a 75-page court document. "Ciavarella and Conahan now have the temerity to contend that their egregious conduct is fully shielded by absolutely judicial immunity or legislative immunity."
Attorneys for the plaintiffs accused Conahan of going beyond their judicial and administrative duties by signing a "secret Placement Guarantee Agreement" guaranteeing the exclusive use of the private detention centers, using his "final decision-making" as president judge to eliminate funding for the county-run juvenile facility and instituting with Ciavarella a zero-tolerance policy toward juveniles and directing county probation officers to send more juveniles to the private facilities.

Namco Bandai's name is in the opposite order of what it is called in Japan. Starting on April 1 however, all subsidiaries of the company will be renamed to Bandai Namco.
Namco Bandai announced the change during a board of director's meeting on January 23, which will affect a total of 31 subsidiaries. The name shift will be seen in 6 domestic Japanese and 25 overseas subsidiaries. The full list can be found here.
The major Japanese game company said the reason behind the move was to increase their brand's value and appeal abroad. Dark Souls II and Tales of Zestiria are two major upcoming releases by Namco Bandai for the PlayStation 3, along free-to-play games Soulcalibur: Lost Swords and Ace Combat Infinity, based on the company's longtime franchises.

Eight teachers in Pitt County are sharing a $3,000 donation to help with classroom needs.
The money comes from U.S. Cellular's Calling All Teachers campaign.
The local donation will benefit more than 1,300 students at Ayden-Grifton High School, Chicod Elementary School, Eastern Elementary School, Elmhurst Elementary School, J.H. Rose High School, Wellcome Middle School and Grifton Elementary School.
Eastern Elementary teacher Christina Mattison used the money to buy a camera to record students reading. She then plays the video back so the students can listen for fluency and pronunciation. The cameras are also a tool for instructors. The school was able to buy two new cameras with this money.

Linden GledhillIn his spare time, biochemist Linden Gledhill collaborates with artists, filmakers, and advertising professionals to create photos of everything from the growth of ice crystals to insects in flight.
For his latest project, Gledhill collected specimens of rare and beautiful butterflies from a company called Butterflies And Things. Then he put them under the microscope and used a set of high-powered lights to create abstract photos of their wings.
From the unusual patterns and shapes produced by the wings to the beautiful colors, it's hard to believe the photos are of something from nature.
Gledhill shared a number of the butterfly photos with us here, but you can check out the rest on his Flickr page.
Linden Gledhill"Its always a surprise when you look at the scales at such a high magnification, because you cannot predict the shapes and patterns from just looking at the wings," explains Gledhill.
Linden GledhillButterfly wings are made of very thin layers of a hardened protein called chitin, which is also what your fingernails and toenails are made of. On top of the layers of chitin are microscopic scales, which are the source of the stunning colors in Glendhill's photos.
Linden GledhillThe scales on the wings are responsible for protecting and insulating butterflies and aiding in air flow along their wings during flight. The scales also aid in heat absorption — butterflies are cold-blooded, relying on external sources of heat for warmth.
Linden Gledhill Butterflies use their colors to scare off potential predators. Because most colorful butterflies are filled with nasty toxins, predators know not to eat them. Their colors are also used for camouflage and mate attraction.

The popular Oak Lawn country and western bar is far more than Stetsons and Wranglers. On the weekends, DJs spin popular dance tunes after midnight. The front parlor hosts karaoke from 9 pm to 2 am. Don't know your two-step from your Slappin' Leather? (Don't worry. It's a line dance.) The Round-Up offers free dance lessons on weeknights. Best of all, the friendly and fun-loving crowd throws its hands in the air and caution to the wind, dancing with a whiskey-fueled lack of inhibition.

The attached article is an interesting read, for several reasons.
To begin with, I can understand the Union's position. The leadership feels it is their primary obligation to protect their constituents. I respect that, if it is the true motivation for taking a litigious path.
The problem I see is that the state is in dire straits. I'm not absolutely sure what happens if a state goes bankrupt, but we are certainly headed there.
This position by the Union leadership actually sends a very powerful position statement to the public that they are absolutely unwilling to try to be a BIG part of the solution. In the business world, leaders who dig their heels in and don't allow the good ideas from their subordinates, or constituents, to rise to the top, are really not leaders at all. They are self interest minded, protecting their own perceived superiority and control, and completely miss the opportunity to improve by drawing on the best and the brightest. That seems to be happening here.
I think that if the Union leaders put the problem squarely in the laps of their hard working constituents, with a clear explanation of the severity of the situation facing the state, they may be very surprised at the incredibly creative, willing responses they would receive as to how best to proceed as part of the solution, as opposed to continuing to be part of the problem. The hard working people of the state would be heroes.
So, I am not being particularly critical of the Unions, as they can make a case for what they are doing, if it is pure. They just are operating with a very retro attitude and are missing some huge opportunities to do some great things.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Kyle Richards on the "Difficult" Season Finale of RHOBH
January 21, 2011 04:00 PM by Shayla Perry
After last night's explosive fight between Kyle Richards and her sister, Kim Richards, on the season finale of Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills which led to the shocking revelation of Kim's alcohol addiction (and a short stint in rehab), Kyle quickly became one of the most hated Housewives on the show–which says a lot when your co-star is Camille Grammer. But what does Kyle think after seeing the fight play out on TV?
"That night never should have happened," Kyle Richards wrote in her blog about the season finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. "It was incredibly difficult to go through in the first place and it's even more difficult to watch and relive it."
According to Kyle, what we didn't see throughout the season were the "problems brewing" between her and Kim Richards off camera, making her reactions to any issues with Kim that appeared on the show seem to be blown way out of proportion.
"The tension between Kim and me was never about her not 'having my back' in New York. There is so much more to it than that. I didn't want to come out and say what it was that was really bothering me because this is a private family matter. It would have saved me a lot of criticism, believe me, but it's not just my story to tell. It's Kim's story too.
"After this horrible argument between Kim and I, we didn't speak for a long time. My heart was broken and I suffered an incredible amount of anxiety and panic attacks. Next to losing my mother, this was the most difficult time of my life," says Richards.
Though Kyle avoids going into detail about Kim Richards' alcohol addiction, which later landed her in rehab, she does say that after seeing the show, she realizes that her hurt and worry over her sister's issues often came out as anger, which wasn't helpful for either of them.
As for her feelings toward Taylor Armstrong and her role in the argument with Camille Grammer and her fight with Kim during the season finale, it doesn't look like Kyle Richards is seeing things any differently, writing in her blog:
"Taylor and I grew closer during taping. She opened up quite a bit to me. She is kind and vulnerable, and I wish her nothing but happiness. She deserves it."
Perhaps she'll have a different point of view when the ladies get together for the Reunion Show, which airs next Thursday at 9|8c!

These two " ladies" are the original Pointer sisters but not like singers are nice people. Whats with all this pointing. And why in the world does kyle keeping saying what are u doing? Over and over again. It was pretty obvious that she was sitting, crying and trying to get away from the housewives brigade.

Kyle, Please if you come back to the show, please stop with the warming up to Taylor, she is not a good friend, and is completely responsible for the big blow up in New York, and 100% responsible for the blow up at her party, and tried on the reunion show to lure you into once more joining in attacking your sister Kim on the reunion show for another big blow up on that show. She isn't even trying to hide that she wants Kim to suffer and tries to drive wedges between the two of you because she knows that it bothers or hurts Kim to see you choose Taylor over her, and she wins every time that you fall for her little dirty tricks and schemes. Another thing, if you never take up for Kim, why should she take up for you, even though no one acknowledges that Kim did take up for you at the dinner in New York, by saying that it was actually Taylor that said the whole insignificant remark, that supposedly reignited the fight between you and Camille. Kim tried in her own way that she was comfortable with to point out that you hadn't been the one to say anything about insecure, or insignificant. Cant you see that Taylor is just trying to get rid of the fifth wheel, and she sees Kim as vulnerable and easy to get rid of, and you're allowing her to bully your sister around and you should be ashamed. Remember this whenever there is a fifth person they usually tries to get rid of someone so they can secure their own position. She wants to be the 4th wheel, not the 5th wheel, so she just wanders around trying to be friendly with everyone that she is inferior to and attacks the only one that she thinks she might have a chance at eliminating and that is your sister. Be a better sister next season please. I have a sister like yours and it is hard to deal with but I can say this honestly, I have been guilty of being to hard on my sister at times and have regreted too, but one thing is for sure, when I see someone else thinking that they are going to go after my sister the way Taylor has with Kim, in front of me, they get put in check. It's sort of like it's automatic to take up for my sister whenever anyone else thinks that they can just get away with attacking her, because that is what family members do. Especially sisters. If nothing else get rid of Taylor so she stops making you look bad with regards to how you treat her better than you do your own sister, and she just revels in it. I hope that maybe your friend Faye Resnick will point it out to you, since you won't listen to Lisa, who exposed her early on as the fire starter in the first place.

Kaleida Health's Gates Vascular Institute, along with the adjoining UB Clinical Research Center, is all about discovery—for the professionals who work there doing cutting-edge research and care, and for our eighth graders, too, who made breakthroughs of their own as they toured the facility last week. Dr. Adnan Siddiqui, an internationally known neurosurgeon (and EFS dad), spent a morning leading the students through the labs and operating rooms of this center of innovation, along with Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus president Matt Enstice (also an EFS dad!). Here we share just a few of their amazing discoveries.You don't have to be a doctor or nurse to work in the medical field.Students got a chance to talk to a host of different people on the job, from the engineers who design digital simulations to test new procedures and devices and those that design and build those devices to the illustrator who creates detailed depictions of the inner recesses of the brain and other body parts. The skill sets that these professionals utilize range from mathematical to technological to artistic to verbal and beyond.Collisions aren't always bad things.The innovative facility was designed specifically to foster collaboration among the professionals working there. For too long, doctors have worked in what Dr. Siddiqui calls "silos," isolated within their own specialties. The space encourages "collisions" that enable physicians and researchers from a range of disciplines to interact and work together. Video games just may be educational after all.Vascular surgery involves doctors utilizing blood vessels to perform non-invasive surgical procedures on just about any part of the body. Tubes conveying the necessary instruments are guided through the vessels and controlled by tiny cameras, which project their images onto a screen. "All that time on the Wii—it helps," said Dr. Siddiqui. "This technology is taking cues directly from video games." Failure is a part of growth.When asked why she chose her profession, an engineer in the Toshiba Stroke Center responded, "I like to solve problems." But that doesn't mean that's all she ever does: some problems are harder to solve than others and require multiple attempts. Another engineer estimated that up to 95 percent of his efforts result in failure, but it's that other five percent that keeps him—and the progress of the world—going. Surroundings matter.The students appreciated the building's decidedly modern appearance, with its large, light-filled spaces, creative lighting, slick materials, and bright colors. The cool style isn't just for looks, however: the award-winning structure was designed specifically to foster the exchange of ideas by attracting people to core areas.Buffalo is where it's at.The Gates Vascular Institute is part of a larger effort to transform Buffalo into a world-class health care destination. "This exact structure does not exist anywhere else on the planet," said Dr. Siddiqui of the unique model that delivers state-of-the-art clinical care as well as major research breakthroughs on the causes and treatment of diseases. As one staff member told the students: "People around the world are benefitting from what's happening here."Wrinkles are good (at least on your brain).The highlight of the trip had to be when the students were able to see and even touch actual brains—two human brains, three dog brains, and, for comparison, a rat brain. Besides differences in size, the brain types also showed significant variances in texture. The human brain's wrinkled channels and clefts allow it to maximize its surface area within the limited space of the skull. And you know that claim about people using only a small portion of their brains? Not true. "We use all of our brains," said Dr. Siddiqui, "but it's how we use them that makes the difference."

ATLANTA -- A Georgia State Senator and a Georgia PTA lobbyist want criminal charges brought against one of the leaders of the Georgia Charter Schools Association.
The request stems from a reported shoving match at an anti-Charter Schools Amendment news conference at the Capitol on Tuesday.
Georgia PTA lobbyist Sally Fitzgerald claims she was shoved from behind by Georgia Charter Schools Association Exec. VP Andrew Lewis, who was part of a group who interrupted an anti-Charter Schools Amendment event.
"We're 48 hours out, heard nothing; he's toast," Fitzgerald told reporters on Thursday, just before filing a complaint with State Capitol Police.

"I was attempting to stand between a passionate parent and a lobbyist representing several special interest groups, both waiving signs at the Capitol," Lewis said in a statement Thursday. "Obviously it caused the lobbyist to lose their balance, and for that I apologize. That doesn't change the fact that this story is about community activists and educrats who are trying to deny parents and children better educational options. Shame on them."
Fitzgerald and State Senator Emanuel Jones (D-Decatur) filed a report with a State Capitol Police Officer on Thursday morning asking for battery charges against Lewis, which are misdemeanors.
"What I would personally like to see is Mr. Andrew Lewis in prison; I would like to see him arrested," said Jones.
The officer said Capitol Police will look into the matter, including viewing TV news clips of what happened, before deciding whether any formal charges may be filed.
Meanwhile Fitzgerald defended her side for asking a young charter school student at the Tuesday event why she was at the Capitol and not in school.
She said every adult has the right to be concerned about truancy laws, even if the child isn't their own.

My wife and I found out that we are expecting our third child. Quite unplanned and unexpected. So in the end, this day was more than I bargained for when I woke up this morning.

Scranton man accused of Wal-Mart theft
PITTSTON TWP. — Township police arrested a Scranton man Friday after they say he stole consumer electronics worth more than $2,000 from a Wal-Mart.
Police arrested Randy Greenfield, 30, after he allegedly fled from the Wal-Mart at 390 Route 315. Officers said he stole $2,243.20 worth of merchandise. Police said a background check showed that Mr. Greenfield was wanted by state police for charges of criminal trespass and escape from a criminal facility.
While monitoring traffic on Route 502 on Friday, officers noticed Mr. Greenfield sitting in the front passenger seat of a passing car. Police pulled the vehicle over and took him into custody. Officers said he was also in possession of a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Police said Mr. Greenfield admitted to stealing from Wal-Mart and told officers he sold all the merchandise.
Mr. Greenfield was taken to Lackawanna County for arraignment on charges from state police. Township police charged him with felony retail theft, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.

The Effect of ObamaCare on Treatment
The Effect of ObamaCare on Treatment - Page 2
(page 2)
The bad news
The first on this list is a small strike, but worth mentioning. When applying for health insurance, candidates are asked about their tobacco use. It's a simple question: "Do you use tobacco products?" If the answer yes, the ACA has allowed insurance companies to charge that applicant a higher premium. Another reason to quit smoking, sure, but that also seems oddly close to discrimination, especially considering the ACA's seemingly open arms policy when it comes to a history of drug use.
The Affordable Care Act has mandated that all health insurance plans sold on American Health Insurance Exchanges must provide means for treating substance abuse.
With some exceptions.
Small employer (businesses of 100 employees or less) plans put in place before March 23, 2010 don't have to provide these benefits. Church-sponsored plans are also exempt. Even Medicare and Medicaid are excused from this mandate. These exemptions could leave many without the help they need.
And what about the demand for substance abuse treatment? Now that millions previously suffering from addiction are eligible for health insurance, they're all going to need professionals to treat them. Just one problem: currently there aren't enough professionals properly trained to treat recovering addicts. There is a gap between the number of prospective patients and the number of professionals ready to treat them. Many addicts need intervention and other preventative measures, which require specific training and certification. It's disappointing that this is the case, because if one checked in on the process of implementing the ACA, there are months of news stories pointing to the roll out encountering some difficulty (to say the least). The system crashed multiple times due to the volume of applicants. How was this not noted and taken into consideration with regard to specialty treatment? This gap is going to provide a longer wait time for those in need, time that in some cases will mean the difference between life and death.
The worse news
When visiting the website for the ACA on whitehouse.gov, eventually it leads to pages underneath the Office of National Drug Control Policy. On the subject of treatment, this is what the office has to say:
Treatment of substance use disorder consists of a range of clinical interventions that can include group and individual therapy, medication for detoxification, and stabilization. The ultimate goal of treatment is to assist individuals in achieving stable, long-term recovery, enabling them to become productive, contributing members of society and eliminating the substantial public health, public safety, and economic consequences associated with active addiction.
That's odd. Did you read anything in there about covering rehab programs? There's no mention of them. Does that mean rehab is a "Specialty Treatment," suggested by another link on the page? No. The specialty treatments mentioned are medicines approved to treat substance abuse in conjunction with behavioral therapy.
The lack of literature on the availability of rehab coverage is concerning. For many, rehab is necessary to combat their addiction. The website also doesn't mention whether or not the cost of care is adjusted if this is a patient's second, third, fourth trip back to rehab. Relapsing is a hard reality of substance addiction; the possibility of it must be addressed under the ACA.
In regard to how the ACA will be supported, there is a two-pronged plan. One is High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA), which pushes for all levels of government to coordinate efforts to bring down drug trafficking. Another suggests reform within the criminal justice system to break the cycle of drug use causing crime leading to further drug use.
What's missing from this enforcement is the promise of care, not to mention the quality of that care.
The sad truth is that the ACA is primarily focused on substance abuse prevention. It falls seriously short in specifying how it will treat those active drug users seeking recovery.
Mistakes made before
The risk of sacrificing quality of treatment in order to treat the quantity of patients harkens back to the implementation of methadone clinics in the UK during the 20th century. In that situation, government-sanctioned substance abuse clinics were opened and offered medication and counseling to individuals addicted to heroin. In theory, the methadone provided a crutch to help the addict wean off, and counseling was there to support the process. The result of this plan was disappointing: the number of drug users in the UK jumped from 67,000 in the 1990s to 200,000 in the late 2000s.
The biggest problem this government-implemented abuse treatment facility is facing is quality of care. One researcher of the institution, David Best, noted a patient going in and out of clinics for a year, receiving regular amounts of methadone, and little to no counseling. This sounds an awful lot like enabling. Sacrificing quality of care is a sure risk with the ACA. Additionally, how did no one within the system get on to the fact that this patient was taking a weaning-off dose for nearly a year? The answer is simple and unacceptable: the patient was not being tracked. There was no system in place to track patients from clinic to clinic, so one only wonders how many others were taking these same liberties. If the ACA fails to appropriately monitor those seeking substance abuse treatment, those in need may receive no help at all.
The mistakes made with the UK's methadone clinics echo the larger problems in the ACA. Loopholes left unchecked will be exploited and disrupt the quality of care. If the ACA doesn't tie up the loose threads concerning rehab, relapse, and quality of care, those in recovery are still vulnerable.

Well my second day commuting did not go very well. I drove to the park and did my quick change and jumped on the bike and *pop* went the back tire. Luckily I was ten feet from the car. Forget 50/50 odds it is always the back tire. After inspection it was revealed the rim tape had a whole. Since I don't carry rim tape and did not want to mess with a temporary fix unless it was an emergancy, I had to throw the bike back in the car and finish my commute by car.
The tape is less then 2 years old. Should I replace it every year to be safe?
I should be back on the bike by Wednesday.

Frost Damages Crops
(Le Mars) -- Last week's freezing temperatures have caused some widespread damage to western Iowa corn fields according to Joel DeJong, Iowa State University Extension crops specialist.
Listen to
DeJong says in many instances corn had already emerged when the cooler temperatures had hit, but he believes the crop will recover.
Listen to
As for soybeans, the crops specialist says fortunately, he had not seen any soybeans in this area, that had emerged prior to the frost. DeJong says if soybeans had emerged, they no doubt would have been damaged by the frost.
Listen to
Statewide, 40 percent of the soybeans have been planted and DeJong believes northwest Iowa farmers have perhaps planted as much as 60 percent of the intended soybean acreage. DeJong says farmers will want to start scouting for black cut worms. He says based on the populations of adult larvae, he expects the pest could start feeding on the young plants within the next week.
Listen to
The Iowa State University Extension agronomist says the day length and temperatures will determine how fast the cutworms will move into this area. He says as the corn slows down, so does the insects and other pests.

From Hartlib to Linnaeus: Science, Spirituality, and Political Economy
Sweden embarked on an ambitious project to improve and strengthen the nation around the turn of the 18th century. Recognizing that the foundation for Sweden's glory and greatness during the reign of Gustav II Adolf was no longer sustainable, the new strategy focused on enhancing the nation's productive capacities. Uniquely blessed by God – according to contemporary observers – with abundant natural resources, the key to restoring the nation's power and prosperity was to promote the right kinds of knowledge by which nature's secrets could be unlocked and its hidden potential harnessed for productive purposes. Drawing on scientific, religious, economic, and philosophical currents prevalent throughout Europe, Sweden developed its own vision for reform, which, in turn, gave rise to a deeply interconnected discourse and practice of improvement. This new culture of improvement informed the nation's strategies for economic development, state-formation, spiritual regeneration, and scientific advancement – all of which were considered essential to the nation's progress and modernization. My paper focuses on how the Hartlib Circle instructed and inspired Swedish improvers, such as Urban Hiärne (1641-1724) and Anders Kempe (1622- 1689), and how they helped to prepare the ground for Christopher Polhem (1661-1751), Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), and Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778).

The new online environment our children live in requires a different style of parenting.
The reality of the social web is that parents cannot completely control where and when their kids get access to, or post, certain sensitive information on topics like sex, drugs, violence, racism etc., so we require new tools that parents before us never needed.
There is a strong temptation for kids to share anything and everything online in order to get the greatest return from a social network. This is generally innocent in nature, but as parents we need to teach our kids how to safely use social networking without over-sharing information that can lead to hurtful or dangerous situations. And, for those times when kids will inevitably over-share personal information, we need to be aware and armed with the information to educate both our kids and ourselves about how to address the challenges and risks.
According to two recent research studies conducted by SocialShield, parents get this. With 50 percent of all 11-year-olds now in possession of social network accounts, nearly half of the parents who participated in our survey strongly agreed that social network "monitoring goes hand in hand with parental guidance, so when I find out something bad I can use the opportunity to explain to my child why it's bad, so he/she doesn't repeat the same mistakes."
The Need for New Best Practices and New Safety Tools
As wonderful as the new social/mobile web is -- and don't get me wrong: the vast majority of it opens up terrific new forms of entertainment, communications, and positive engagement -- it also brings along new risks, just like when your kid takes the car for the first time.
That's why, once again, we have the need for a new set of parenting best practices to help keep our children safer; teach them when, where, and how to post what kind of information; instruct them when to sense risk or danger; and show them what to do about it.
We also need to explore:
• Specific networks and websites, so we know which are generally "safe," and which are generally "risky," and how to manage our privacy and information on each of them.
• Best practices for both the social and mobile Web. What to do and what not to do. And how to spot dangers, and how to respond to them.
• The types of protective tools and assistance available to parents for the social/mobile web, as well as related technologies that are emerging.
• The types of "apps" that are available on mobile devices; what to look for in assessing the relative safety of an "app"; and how to adjust our phone's setting for the appropriate safety and privacy level.
• Actual true stories of the types of abuses and dangers that can occur, and what signs to look for regarding our children's activities.
• Questions from concerned parents, and answers from experts.
• And many other topics of value and interest regarding this exciting -- but risky -- new online and mobile world.
What's important for you to know? What do you need to understand better? This is new terrain for all of us and it is my goal to help other parents learn about the challenges so they can decide how they want to incorporate into their parent style. I'll be posting regularly on HuffPost Parents, and want to hear from you and answer your questions. Stay tuned. There's much more to come.

text: Used mans complete guide to all firefight enemies This is my second attempt at writing a guide, and I hope it will be more successful than my first. In this guide I will cover each enemy I can in as much detail as possible. The format for each enemy will be: name: description: weaknesses: strengths: black eye: tilt: mythic: catch: Warning:This is a theory guide. It is based completely off of my opinions and observations. This means plenty of the content is fairly easy to notice. This is my favorite kind of guide to read, because I enjoy reading opinions about things I am interested in. this contains my strategies and observations. don't expect obscure secrets. name:grunt description:Grunts are the most common enemy seen in firefight and also the most useless. The only real danger they present is that they throw grenades alot, even without catch. the only other danger is presented by spec ops grunts toting fuel rod guns, but they are still relatively weak. weaknesses:Headshots, everything except needlers and plasma pistols. strengths:fuel rods, plasma grenades black eye:Generally not much of a threat, and generally not the best to melee due to there tendency to throw stickies. tilt:Just go for headshots and you will be fine. mythic:Once again, headshots catch:This is one of the grunts greatest assets. One time, a single grunt took out my entire team by just standing in one spot and repeatedly throwing grenades. Just stay attentive and hopefully nothing like this will ever happen. name:Jackal description:Generally the jackal is one of the least dangerous enemies you will face in firefight. Certain skulls can make them much more powerful. For all but the fourth set and the third round of every set, jackals are nothing dangerous. I would mention the jackal snipers, but the only map I have ever seen a beam rifle jackal is crater. And even then It just takes a couple automag rounds to end them. weaknesses:headshots, everything else to varying extents strengths:inflicting multiple small pinpricks of damage, certain skulls black eye:Jackals are one of the best enemies to encounter with black eye. They don't have any direct melee counter and usually die in one hit tilt:Tilt generally has little effect on jackals unless your shooting right into there shields with human guns. mythic:This is one of the shield jackals largest advantages. With this on, It takes a couple rounds to make them flinch. catch:Jackals dont throw grenades. Ever. name:Drone description:The drone is possibly the most annoying enemy in all of firefight. they do very little damage and are only dangerous in large numbers. weaknesses:SMG, and automag to some extent strengths:Numbers, and the leaders with shields black eye:They cant counter melees, which works IF you can hit them. Otherwise, they are just really annoying. tilt:Besides the commanders with their minuscule shields it has no effect. mythic:Drones don't have quite enough health for mythic to make a difference. catch:no nades, no gain name:Brute (captain, minor, jumppack) description:Brutes are the backbone of the covenant army. They are average at the beginning and get ridiculously hard near the end. they carry a variety of weapons and can be pretty threatening at any time in a game. weaknesses:grenades, plasma rifles, carbines, needlers, plasma pistols, spikers, heavy weapons strengths:High damage resistance, ability to deal large amounts of damage black eye:try to avoid punching brutes because they tend to hit back. tilt:Tilt makes brutes resistant to all but heavy and plasma. Use plasma pistols, fuel rods and plasma rifles as much as possible. mythic:At this point, basically all you can use are heavy weapons and plasma pistols. the plasma pistol with overcharge is now your best friend. catch:meh name:Brute stalker description:The stalkers main danger is the camo, next the firebomb, and finally there maulers. Surprisingly, the stalkers can be a large asset if you use their dropped equipment. Most people don't notice that an average wave of stalkers could probably arm three people with full maulers. weaknesses:VISR, firebombs, CQB strengths:firebombs, invisibility, catch black eye:Meh, with stalkers its usually a matter of to be on fire or not to be on fire. tilt:Same as default brutes. mythic:See basic brutes section catch:Brute stalkers are definitely the most effected enemy by catch. Because unless you get lucky, an unseen brute will kill you wit there firebombs. name:Brute chieftans description:On small maps the brute chieftain easily competes with hunters for "most dangerous non vehicle enemy". They wouldn't be particularly dangerous, except that they can turn invincible for ten seconds at any given moment. they take a ridiculous amount of damage so heavy weapons of any kind are extremely useful. I even suggest saving a maps respawning rockets for the chieftains on the final wave of each round. if heavy weapons are not available try for spikers or brute plasma rifles. weaknesses:None really strengths:invincibility, usually instant kill melee black eye:Not much advice here, they're pretty similar to stalkers in this area tilt:They just become more resistant to everything... mythic:Read tilt catch:N/A name: Engineer description: Engineers are a uniqueenemy, appearing lots on certain maps and not at all on others. They do not attack you, they just provide overshields to nearby troops and cause cluster explosions when they die. The overshields are more of a psychological tactic than anything as they are relatively weak. The only real danger is the overshields eliminate headshot instant kills weaknesses:Plasma weapons, heavy weapons, needlers, sticky grenades strengths: give nearby covenant oversheilds, huge explosion when killed, very high damage resistance black eye: beating them down is an ok way to kill them, though you may drop into a pile of covenant if you lunge and rush them. Also when they die if you beat them down, you will be closer to them and the explosion will do damage. tilt:same as everything else, when on focus more on the covenant before the engineer as it will take time to kill. try to utilize plasma as the engineers shield is very strong. mythic: Same as tilt. catch: N/A name:hunters description:Hunters are fairly dangerous. they have very powerful attacks, fortunately they draw lots of attention and and their projectiles move very slowly. the only effective method of killing them without grenades or special weapon is double teaming from both sides. weaknesses:double teaming, grenades, heavy weapons, spikers strengths:Extremely high damage and resistance. black eye:You cant really melee them effectively and they generally either kill you or don't. Its mainly the accompanying drones that effect this skull tilt:Not much effect. mythic:This skull hurts your hunter killing in a huge way. Be very careful and make sure to utilize all of their weaknesses. catch:N/A name:ghost description:The ghost is surprisingly rare in firefight. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it only makes an appearance on the level that imitates the end of coastal highway. I personally think this is because they help you much more than they hurt you. since you can drive them, its just a matter of killing the driver. weaknesses:hijack, can be driven to great effect, heavy weapons strengths:high damage, can splatter you black eye:Cant really melee them so they only hurt you. tilt:Meh, they just get a bit harder to kill, but hijacks remain effective. mythic:Same as tilt catch:N/A name:chopper description:To put it bluntly, choppers are just damage sponges that once obtained can deal massive damage. there isn't much specific information I can give. weaknesses:heavy weapons, hijack, other vehicles strengths:high damage, extreme splatterability black eye:nothing in particular tilt:same as above mythic:just more damage resistance... catch:N/A name:banshee description:The banshee is probably the most rarely encountered enemy in firefight, and rather disappointing for its dangerous reputation. The banshee is only encountered on windward, and the AI seems to shoot for half a second then swerve away for about 5 seconds. In addition windward is equipped with missile pods and rockets which hugely lessens the danger factor. unfortunately it is impossible to hijack a banshee in any way shape or form. weaknesses:Explosives, idiotic AI strengths:High damage, they fly, they are fast black eye:Don't melee a banshee, just don't... tilt:Meh, just more resistance, nothing special. mythic:Same as above. catch:N/A name:wraith description:Wraiths, have over 9000 health points. Which gives them the award of most dangerous enemy in firefight. fortunately they do have weaknesses, and all levels that have them also have a spartan laser. which is there greatest weakness. weaknesses:laser, other heavys, choppers'n hogs, needlers and high ground(shoot the gunner then hijack). strengths:instant kill on infantry, over 9000 health points, gunner to prevent hijacks. black eye:not much of an effect, they're usually live or die. tilt:just utilize their weaknesses and it doesn't have two much effect. mythic:oh god... catch:N/A name:phantom description:The phantom is an interesting element of firefight. They pack insane damage and damage resistance. Fortunately they just come, drop off covenant, then leave(except once when it got stuck above lost platoon). A useful tactic on lost platoon is to snipe the driver of a chopper while the phantom is floating down. This makes it drop a perfect, unused chopper for you to grab once you clean up the rest of its payload. Another debateably useful tactic is to blow one of the side platforms up, this makes a unused plasma turret drop down for someone to pick up. It might be used against brutes once mythic turns on. weaknesses:side platforms, main turret strengths:huge damage and resistance, carries lots of enemies black eye:They hurt you, but as far as I know it is impossible to melee them. tilt:Exactly the same as all of the other vehicles mythic:Same as above catch:N/A Thats my guide, if you have anything to add or suggest just post. It's pretty open ended so all opinions and observations that make sense will be edited in. I hope I cleaned up my grammar a bit this time. thanks for reading

Re: Image Stabilizer during video (5DII)
You hit the nail on the head. You can hear the IS operating and it is annoying. Now, if you get an external mic for the hotshoe and put a dead cat on it you should be fine.

The only immediate disadvantage I seem to see is the sound of the IS operating and is very audible in playback.

Google Nexus 5 Release Date Rumors, Price / Nexus 5 VS Samsung Galaxy Note 3
For holiday 2013 shoppers, there will be a lot of great new smartphones to choose from. By that time two of the best phones out will be the Google Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
While the Galaxy Note 3 release date is expected around September, some time close to the Samsung Unpacked Event. It's when the company released the Galaxy Note 2 and is expected to use the same event.
The Google Nexus 5 is expected a little later, most likely around October. This would be around the same time as a new Android release.
But which smartphone should you wait for?
The Galaxy Note 3 is likely to have a larger screen than the Nexus 5 at somewhere around 5.99-inch but is rumored to be as big as 6.3-inch. The Galaxy Note 3 display is rumored to also be Super AMOLED while the Nexus 7 is rumored to be a 5-inch display with Full HD screen display.
When it comes to the photo department, both phones are expected to feature 13-megapixel camera on the back.
The processors are pretty competitive as well. The Galaxy Note 3 is rumored to have an 8-core Exynos 6 Octa processor. Google is believed to be installing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood of the new Nexus 7. The Nexus processor is expected to run at 2.3GHz and 3GB RAM.
Similar to the Google Nexus 7, the Nexus 5 will probably have a more expensive price tag than previous models. Insiders believe the price could be somewhere around $299. As for the Galaxy Note 3 price; it's anybody's guess. Many Samsung experts believe an unlocked version of the Galaxy Note 3 could run buyers anywhere around $800.

So the front brake on my new Strida is squeaky as all get out, sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard...I figured the pads/drum were glazed, so I disassembled, used some steel wool on the braking surfaces, it worked OK without squeaking for a little while, then the noise came back...Strida will rent you a tool to surface the brake pads - (1) do I need to do this? and (2) why don't they do this themselves before they assemble and ship the bike?
Oh yeah, after using it myself all week, I adjusted the Strida for my wife and we went for a ride on Sunday. She likes it better than her 'big' bike! Yeah! Now I need to order up a matching Strida for myself, looks like we'll be doing some biking in Europe this fall after all!

Sonar tests hazardous to sea life
Q: I understand the Navy is doing sonar testing and training in the oceans and that their activities will likely kill hundreds, if not thousands, of whales and other marine mammals. What can be done to stop this?
A: Active sonar is a technology used on ships to aid in navigation, and the Navy tests and trains with it extensively in American territorial waters. The Navy also conducts missile and bomb testing in the same areas. But environmentalists and animal advocates contend that this is harming whales and other marine wildlife, and are calling on the Navy to curtail such training and testing exercises accordingly.
"Naval sonar systems work like acoustic floodlights, sending sound waves through ocean waters for tens or even hundreds of miles to disclose large objects in their path," reports the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity. "But this activity entails deafening sound: even one low-frequency active sonar loudspeaker can be as loud as a twin-engine fighter jet at takeoff."
According to the CBD, sonar and other military testing can have an especially devastating effect on whales, given how dependent they are on their sense of hearing for feeding, breeding, nursing, communication and navigation. The group adds that sonar can also directly injure whales by causing hearing loss, hemorrhages and other kinds of trauma, as well as drive them rapidly to the surface or toward shore.
In 2007, a U.S. appeals court sided with the Natural Resources Defense Council, which had contended that Navy testing violated the National Environmental Policy Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act. But within three months of this ruling, then-President George W. Bush exempted the Navy, citing national security reasons. The exemption was subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court upon challenge, and the Navy released estimates that its training exercises scheduled through 2015 could kill upward of 1,000 marine mammals and seriously injure another 5,000.
But in September a federal court in California sided with green groups in a lawsuit charging that the National Marine Fisheries Service failed to protect thousands of marine mammals from Navy warfare training exercises in the Northwest Training Range Complex along the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. As a result, the NMFS must reassess its permits to ensure that the Navy's activities comply with protective measures under the Endangered Species Act.
The ruling will no doubt be challenged. Also, the Navy still has the green light to use sonar and do weapons testing off the East Coast.

Nexon America has launched a Maple Story quest event that puts an emphasis on participating in the 2012 presidential election. The vent is comprised of a number of in-game activities including polling registered players about which candidate for president they plan on choosing, along with a brand new set of quests and other in-game events promoting the presidential election. Players who take the time to vote will be rewarded with an in game item.
Those interested in learning more about the in-game event can do so by watching this video and another video created by Nexon and available on YouTube. Nexon America has also teamed up with Rock-The-Vote campaign to encourage players to register to vote in the real world and get out to the polls on November 6.
Nexon America confirmed that Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are the only candidates you can vote for, so if that is a deal-breaker for you because you support someone else… well consider the deal broken..
You can find out more about the event by visiting maplestory.nexon.net.
