mophie Juice Pack Air [$79.96 - iMore Store link] is the newer, sleeker model in town. We've tried out several battery extenders here on TiPb, and I've tried quite a few personally, but like the grail we keep looking for longer, better, and stronger power. Did I find it with the Juice Pack Air?
James has been talking the Air up for a while, but I wasn't sure about it. There are several variations in battery charger available for the iPhone, after all. First, form factor. Some chargers are modules that plug onto the bottom and while they can pack a punch, you have to be careful how you handle the iPhone when they're connected, lest they become rapidly unconnected. mophie makes the other kind, the case-style, and the Air -- as the name suggests -- is molded to be as thin and remain as pocketable as possible. In this, it succeeds brilliantly.
Some have complained that the Air's case-like form factor reduces their cell signal strength by a couple bars. I didn't experience that, though I'm in Canada and -- apologies to my long-suffering AT&T friends -- the iPhone is solid on our network.
The other variation is charging style. Some battery extenders charge via a dock port that makes them very handy since dock cables are ubiquitous and if you already have an AC adaptor, car adaptor, etc. they "just work" with those.
The mophie, by contrast, uses a USB micro-cable, but not micro-USB, which is always a concern (if your forget it, or lose it, your battery charger ain't getting charged).
Enough about what it is, what's important is how it works. I tested this one out on a weekend trip, and on several heavy-duty usage days. I also ended up testing it out when I negligently pocketed my iPhone while still recording video, leading it to discharge fairly rapidly.
And it worked well, pretty much in line with mophie's specs. It recharged my iPhone fairly close to full, and on one occasion recharged both mine and a friend's halfway during a 2 hour drive when a car charger failed on us.
So, bottom line, if you need extra power and still want something sleek enough to easily carry your iPhone easily in your pocket, (and your cell signal is typically strong), the mophie Juice Pack is well worth checking out.

Yes, Paul Dano's real-life girlfriend Zoe Kazan deliberately wrote certain things for him in "Ruby Sparks," in which the real-life couple plays a couple. The movie is not about them, though.
"When I read scenes, it was like, 'OK, I have to figure out what's going on here.' It wasn't like, 'Oh, I remember when we were in the grocery store and that [bleeping] happened,'" says Dano.
In the film, opening Wednesday, Dano plays Calvin, an author struggling to deliver his long-awaited sophomore novel who finds inspiration through his new character, Ruby Sparks—until she comes to life (played by Kazan) and Calvin must reconcile his fantasy girl with reality.
At the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, Dano, 28 ("Little Miss Sunshine") talked about the real-life inspirations for Calvin, what most guys would do with the power to change their partner and how often people salute his role in "There Will Be Blood" by offering him free milkshakes.
Calvin has the power to change Ruby, which is a slippery slope. What do you think most guys would do with that power?
Oh, lordy. What they say they would do is different from what they'd actually do, and hopefully you'll think twice about it after you see the film if you have that power. I don't know; I think Harry (Chris Messina) does a good job of being the voice for the audience, or especially a male audience.
So what would guys say they would do, and what would they actually want to do?
I think the first thought a lot of people would have is, "More [oral sex] or bigger [breasts]," like Harry says. I think most people would hopefully just not do it. Calvin is such an unfortunate--once he makes that first change, you have to go to where he goes. I think he was just scared that he was going to lose her and also wanted her to be happy. I think his reason to change her was partially a vulnerable reason, not just wanting her to be different. I don't know; I don't want to speak for other people. I can't imagine that now just because I've been through the experience of making the film. So I'm like, if I could change a person … I don't think I would to begin with. I like being surprised by people anyway.
If we were guessing about percentages, would men or women be more likely to take advantage of this opportunity?
Well, I don't know, man. I feel like I know a lot of women who are like, [if you asked them], "If you could change your husband," [they would say], "Get him to [bleepin'] put the toilet seat down." Sometimes it's really simple things. I guess I would go with men. Something that I feel about the film is control over relationships is not a one-way street.
And these are dangerous questions.
I'm scared to answer. I'm scared to answer you right now.
You asked Zoe if this was being written for you, and she confirmed that it was. How did that change your perception of the movie, since she said she couldn't resist writing some things to make you do them? How much did you think about Calvin being an extension of you?
I didn't. I read the first few pages and my gut response was, "Is she writing this for us?" So it never was not for us. Zoe is good writer. And I was never concerned about her putting our life up on screen. A. I think she knows that would piss me off and B. I think she would want to challenge us. And I think she was guided by a couple characters that came to her, or a story that came to her, so the impetus for it was not for us. So I don't think she let that dictate too much of her writing process. Yeah, obviously there's parts of me in there. I think there's parts of Zoe in Calvin; I think there's parts of ex-boyfriends of hers in Calvin. I did not get heady about that kind of stuff. You look at what's given to you on the page and the circumstances and I just started there.
What parts of you are in there?
Well, I like books a lot. I can be introverted at times. Not as much as Calvin. Not as isolated and not lonely, but he's a pretty serious guy in some ways, so maybe that.
Do you consider yourself a serious person most of the time?
I don't know; I can be pretty stupid and silly too. It's hard for me to say what parts of me are in there because I don't know. Sometimes it's hard to see yourself. There's things I can relate to, so maybe those are parts that are similar. Certainly having writer's block sounds terrifying to me, and I know what it's like not to feel inspired, and that's totally paralyzing and awful.
I like the way the movie indicts the fantasy of the quirky construct we often see in movies or on the page. Why do you think people have this fantasy about the quirkiest possible girl whose quirks make her endearing?
I'm not sure. It certainly seems cultural in some way. Certainly those kinds of characters cannot feel 100 percent real and hopefully Ruby, who is not real, feels 100 percent real. Or she is real. I'm not sure what the deal with that is. Maybe it's sort of like, there's something easy about it. There's something maybe comforting in like you can make mistakes and be messy but you're still cute and lovable or whatever. I guess those characters have a lot of spunk that maybe people are attracted to that kind of energy.
Have you seen the SNL skit "Bein' Quirky with Zooey Deschanel"?
Yeah, yeah. It's funny. I thought it was funny. But like anything now that term is getting used on things that I don't like that it's getting used on. Especially stuff from the past, like "Annie Hall," and I just feel like it's a term that doesn't do anything good for that movie or that character.
I saw Zoe's interview on Jimmy Kimmel in which she said you love Katy Perry and think she might be pulling a prank. Why do you think this, and when and how will she reveal it?
Let me clarify. I spoke to Zoe about this afterward. Prank is not the right word. I first saw Katy Perry on "SNL" actually. I was like, "OK, who is this? Oh, she's really funny." And Zoe was like, "Oh, you just like her [breasts]." I was like, "No, no, I think she's funny." She's like, "No, you just think she's hot." I was like, "No, there's something really tongue-in-cheek. She's aware of what she's singing. There's a camp element to it." A lot of pop music I think is totally offensive because it's so inane, and I felt like she was in on the poppiness of her music, so I thought it was kind of brilliant … I felt like she knows what's up, basically.
At what point will the fourth wall be broken?
Yeah, I don't know. She's done some interesting things. So I think she's a curious pop culture figure. I don't think there's going to be a big reveal one day.
I have to ask you how often you get people shouting about drinking milkshakes lately, and how many you've gotten free over the years?
Yeah, sometimes I get a milkshake from a waiter and I say, "I did not order this," and somebody else in the place sent it to me.
Do you drink it, usually?
No. No.
Just like, "Oh, this again."
No, it's not like that. I'm so proud to be a part of the film; it's a good one to get heckled about. I've had some strange people. I've had somebody yell it right in my face. It's like, "What?" It happens every now and then. It's not too bad.
On Chicago: "I like Chicago a lot. I think it's a beautiful city. I really like it. I'm from New York, and that's where I live. This is probably the only other U.S. city that really gives me what I want out of a metropolitan … I guess being from New York, when I'm in a city I want to feel the city. L.A. doesn't give me that; it's more like a suburb. I just like it. Some beautiful buildings and the river, it's beautiful.
What he'd do with unlimited time here: "Go eat some good food. Make a few friends. Explore. I wanted to go, they were closed yesterday, it was a Sunday, I heard those Mexican restaurants, Rick Bayless, somebody said his joint, I've heard his joints are great. Obviously Chicago pizza but New York pizza, I don't know."
How literary groupies differ from other groupies: "Maybe they wear more glasses."
Guilty pleasure movie: "I don't think it's a guilty pleasure but the first movie that popped into my head was 'Dumb and Dumber,' but I just think that's a great movie. So that's not really a guilty pleasure. 'Clueless,' but I think that's a great movie too. Guilty pleasure to me involves maybe being afraid to say it. Zoe and I, we have a tough time sometimes choosing what to watch. If I'm feeling brain-dead, I like to put on a three-hour movie. Putting on 'Apocalypse Now' or something, I can just sit there and … [That's relaxing for you?] Not really, but I love for some reason a long movie when I'm feeling spun out or something. [She wants] probably something really silly and fun. TV is the issue; it's not really movies. She'll want reality TV, and I'll want to watch sports, and that's where we sort of go like this, who gets the remote. Usually she does."

Curio: Alexa's Favorite Film Moments of 2012
Alexa here with my own contribution to the year in review. Everyone seems to agree that 2012 was a great year in film, and many are dissing 2011 in the process. Was 2011 really that bad? I would argue no...but I digress. This week is about honoring the films of last year, and we will hear from Seth MacFarlane's loud mouth on Thursday which will get the most attention in the coming weeks. So rather than add another best-of list to the heap, I thought I'd share instead my favorite film moments of 2012: my best cinematic experiences, old and new, best film celebrations, and generally the moments that reinvigorated my love of the medium.
10. Discovering the joys of reform school
After finding a musty promotional packet for So Young, So Bad at a thrift store in Georgia, I found myself down a juvenile delinquent rabbit hole, devouring many films in the reform school girl genre, including Reform School Girl (1957), Reform School Girls (1986), La residencia (The House That Screamed) (1969), and my personal favorite, Untamed Youth (1957).
9. Drowning my Oscar sorrows in pie
Overall I was displeased with the Oscars last year, primarily because my favorite Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was passed over in the few categories for which it was recognized. (Don't get me started on Gary Oldman's loss). So in the spirit of Minny from The Help, a transferred my anger into a pie that was all but annihilated by the end of the broadcast, yet without her secret ingredient.

In today's post I'd like to explore whether fighting is something missing from our lives. Before you protest, understand what I mean by "fighting." I won't be directly commenting on the war and violence we see on the evening news. Genocide, conquest, theft, rape, and murder? These are acts of coercive violence, wherein either an institution, an individual, or a group of individuals perpetrate violence (or coerce others to do the perpetrating for them) against people who have not consented. No, I'm talking about something decidedly different. Boxing, MMA, martial arts, wrestling, and just roughhousing with some buddies are all examples of two people consensually engaging in interpersonal violence. Going up against another person in single, consensual combat where personal enmity is not the motivating factor? I can't imagine a greater test of one's strength, speed, skill, and smarts. Let's dig in.
Last time [1], I mentioned that violence was ubiquitous among early humans. Hominids have been fighting for millions of years, and every culture of humans has a fighting tradition, from the boxing, wrestling, and pankration [2] (a freeform mix of boxing and wrestling, similar to MMA) of the ancient Hellenic world to the well-known East Asian martial arts (judo, jujitsu, karate, kung fu, tai chi, etc.) to the folk grappling/wrestling traditions that every culture across every continent seems to have. People fight, people like winning fights, and fighting systems improve a person's ability to win fights, so even if our ancestors weren't writing instructional manuals, they were probably learning to fight.
In the West, we hear the words "martial art" and imagine Mr. Miyagi, Shaolin monks, and Bruce Lee uttering "Be like water." It's come to be associated most strongly with Eastern religious philosophy, with "zen" (or whatever we think zen is) and calm, kindly old men who'd rather teach and talk than fight (but when they fight, you better watch out). And indeed, most traditional Eastern martial arts are linked to various schools of religious thought, but when you get down to it, a martial art remains a codified system of combat – a fighting system primarily developed to improve self-defense and physical conditioning [3]. So why the spiritual stuff? Systematic fighting likely didn't arise as a way to become enlightened or achieve perpetual serenity – people developed codified fighting because it helped them win fights and stay alive in battles – the philosophy came after as a natural product of learning how to fight.
What if fighting is a way to "tame the beast" within? By being aggressive for a short amount of time in a controlled environment where aggression is expected and understood, you satisfy the "need" for aggression. Remember that human aggression is probably an adaptive trait, a deep-seated holdover from the days when surviving and thriving meant killing things [4] (and sometimes people) for food or territory. As I mentioned yesterday, aggressive people had a better shot at obtaining resources, retaining mates, and spreading their genes. Evidence for the effect of fight training on aggression is mixed. While a few studies suggest that martial arts training increases aggression, a recent review (PDF [5]) of the literature found that the majority of studies show martial arts to have a favorable effect on aggression across all age groups. Of course, this all presupposes that "aggression" is always a negative trait that results in actual violence. If that aggression is used or redirected productively – when training or fighting – it may not even result in destructive or "extracurricular" violence.
In fact, I've yet to see any evidence that martial arts training increases violence outside of the ring/mat/gym. There's some evidence that training in martial arts or other fighting systems reduces violence, however, and it appears to have a generally positive effect on mood [6]. Three US elementary schools used a martial arts training program called the Gentle Warrior [7] to reduce bullying in 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Participants who spent the most time in the program displayed the most empathy, fewer bouts of aggression, and a greater frequency of helpful by-standing, or helping out others who were being bullied; the effect was only present in males, however. Another recent British study [8] found that youths who were involved in "combat sports" were subjected to fewer environmental risk factors commonly associated with criminality. It was questionnaire-based and totally observational, but it's supportive of the hypothesis that martial arts does not increase violence. A similar study [9] was undertaken to assess the impact of martial arts training on "high-risk" youth, finding that training improved self-esteem and gave high-risk kids a less favorable attitude toward violence in general.
Martial arts could even be rehabilitative. In female veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who had been sexually assaulted by fellow soldiers while serving, a self-defense program improved their mental states and reduced PTSD symptoms [10]. The results were impressive. At six months, behavioral avoidance and depression [11] had decreased.
For a sport that revolves around inflicting damage on your opponent, mixed martial arts has fairly low rates of serious injury. In a study of injury trends [12] during 635 professional matches, lacerations (tearing of the skin from blunt trauma, like a fist or knee; ugly, but relatively minor) were the most common injury. Serious concussions occurred in 3% of matches, and no deaths or serious injuries occurred. A comparison (PDF [13]) between martial arts, wrestling, and boxing found that boxing resulted in the most injuries, followed by wrestling, and then martial arts, but overall, the three combat sports had similar injury rates to non-combat sports. I've heard that since boxing gloves are bigger than MMA gloves, they allow the fighter to take more hits, so more damage accumulates, somewhat similar to the effects of padded running shoes [14]. The pain is blunted but the damage is done.
Overall, I think there's a strong case to be made that humans derive a lot of benefits from fighting in a structured system against peers, not out of anger, but with mutual respect. Indeed, it appears to reduce or redirect aggression, relieve stress, build self-confidence, and improve mood (and who couldn't use a little less stress, a little more confidence, and a better mood?). In my opinion, structured combat training allows us to address the modern "violence deficit" without seriously hurting others, hurting ourselves, or getting into trouble with the law. Joining an MMA or boxing gym, learning to wrestle, or attending martial arts classes are probably ideal, as they provide the structure and guidance that a beginner needs, and they offer the chance to "fight" people who are there with a similar mindset and purpose. Another option is to roughhouse with a friend, but I'm not sure unstructured, untrained freeform fighting offers the same benefits as a structured fighting system, or if it's even safe. If that's your only option, exercise caution, don't ruin any friendships, or consider a heavy bag instead.
The only MMA site I'm familiar with is Sherdog [15], and from initial observations it appears to have a robust forum with some helpful folks who do the sport themselves (rather than just talk about professionals who do). If you want to get started with fight training, that might be a good place to start. If you're looking for gyms or schools for instruction, quick Google of "mma gym (your city)" or "boxing gym (your city)" or whatever fighting art interests you will produce results. Be sure to check reviews on Yelp. A lot of places will offer beginner classes for free to let you get a feel for the place. Look for gyms with supportive, friendly teachers and students without visible egos. Don't go joining Cobra-Kai dojo [16] or anything like that.
I know from your emails that I have a lot of readers who are into mixed martial arts and other combat disciplines, so please – blow up the comment section with advice on how one gets started with learning how to fight. I'd really appreciate it, and I'm sure all our readers would, too.

About Bethlehem Township
Driving through the winding country roads of Bethlehem Township, sweeping panoramas offer viewpoints not normally associated with New Jersey. Established family farms, leafy woodlands and rural views are punctuated by antique homes, red barns, old mills and newer neighborhoods of luxury homes. Remaining true to its agricultural heritage, the township has amassed many acres of preserved farmland and open space which support local farming and recreational activities as well as the pastoral vistas.
Measuring about 20 square miles with just under 4,000 residents, Bethlehem is bordered by Alexandria, Bloomsbury, Franklin, Kingwood, Holland and the Musconetcong River. Within the township are smaller communities such as Charlestown, Jugtown, Ludlow, Polktown, Swinesburg, Valley and West Portal.Back to top
Bethlehem Township History
The township was named for the ancient city of Bethlehem--translated as "House of Bread," which explains the loaf of bread seen in the township's official seal. Records dating back to 1730 mention Bethlehem, which was officially incorporated in 1798 and named one of New Jersey's first 104 municipalities.
Local landmarks harkening back to Bethlehem's earliest days include the Williver barn. Constructed in 1723 by one of the original families to settle in the township, it is the oldest structure in town, and the second-oldest in the county.
An early industry in Bethlehem was iron forges and mines in and around the township. Ruins from one of those iron forges are now deep beneath Spruce Run Reservoir, and a local forge was reportedly used as a shelter for local residents during Indian raids in 1755 and 1756. The Swayze Mine in Jugtown was a successful enterprise that produced magnetite ore and operated until 1889.
Although there was no warfare in Bethlehem Township, its residents contributed significantly to the American Revolution. Township residents helped gather Durham boats from the Delaware River, Lehigh River and other local waterways for the Continental Army to use when crossing the Delaware in December 1776 prior to the Battle of Trenton. Not only did these residents aid in the preparation for the battle, but they also participated in the Battle of Trenton where General Washington successfully defeated Hessian troops encamped there. This battle was pivotal in the Revolution, and Bethlehem Township residents played a key role in the execution of the battle plans. Washington's success in Trenton was his first victory of the Revolution and allowed the war to continue.
At the turn of the past century, leisure time was enjoyed by Bethlehem Township residents when Bellewood Amusement Park in Pattenburg opened in 1904. Built by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, the park included a dance hall, beer garden, restaurants, picnic groves, a bowling alley and roller coaster. Known as one of the largest amusement parks in the East, thousands of visitors streamed into the park during its 12-year history, including Teddy Roosevelt.Back to top
Bethlehem Township Neighborhoods
Natural surroundings, open meadows and forested vistas provide a lush backdrop for many new listings available in today's marketplace. Vintage farmhouses, custom homes, charming country properties, Cape Cod styles, expanded ranches, high-end luxury homes, equestrian properties, antique houses and newer center hall Colonials are typical listings. Expansive multi-acre lots are often available for buyers who are interested in creating a custom home.
Among the more-recent luxury home neighborhoods in Bethlehem Township are Rolling Green Estates, Charlestown Hills, The Woods at Fox Farm and Hunterdon Ridge.Back to top
Bethlehem Township Transportation
Centrally located just about midway between two major East Coast cities, Bethlehem is approximately 60 miles from New York and Philadelphia. Interstate 78 can be accessed from the bordering towns of Union Township or Bloomsbury for travel to Manhattan or regional business campuses.
New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line provides rail service from High Bridge, about eight miles from Bethlehem. Trans Bridge Lines has bus service to New York City from nearby Union Township or Clinton.
Regional airports include Lehigh Valley International Airport in Allentown, Pennsylvania, about 35 miles west of Bethlehem, and Newark Liberty International Airport, approximately 50 miles away.Back to top
Bethlehem Township Schools
Public school students attend classes from kindergarten through grade eight in the Bethlehem Township School District. Lower grades go to the Thomas B. Conley School from pre-kindergarten to grade 5, moving on to the Ethel Hoppock Middle School for grades 6 to 8. The district offers a comprehensive educational program which includes fine and performing arts, inter-scholastic sports, a library, computers, enrichment, and basic skills instruction in both reading and math.
High school students from Bethlehem attend North Hunterdon High School in Annandale, which also serves students from Clinton Town, Clinton Township, Franklin Township, Lebanon Borough and Union Township. North Hunterdon High School was named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education in 2002, the highest award a school can achieve. Additionally, the high school has been cited by major publications such as The Washington Post, Newsweek and New Jersey Monthly for their outstanding academic and athletic programs.Back to top
Bethlehem Township Recreation
Small-town life is embraced by Bethlehem Township's Recreation Committee. A busy schedule of year-round events includes holiday celebrations like Pizza With Santa and the Christmas tree lighting hosted by the Girl Scouts, a fall bonfire led by the Boy Scouts, or Community Day in late summer featuring a DJ, outdoor movie and fireworks. Youth sports programs include baseball, basketball, flag football, lacrosse and soccer.

Heritage Park is a social and recreational hub for the township. In the summer of 2015, the park was expanded by a 19-acre tract of open land using state Green Acres funds. Located on Vliet Farm Road just off Route 173, the park has playing fields, a playground, picnic areas and a trail network for runners and walkers.
Charlestown Reservation at 40 Charlestown Road encompasses 200 acres and is held in trust as a conservation area. Its main habitat is a second generation oak-hickory forest. Along the trail are stone walls, providing evidence of the area's agrarian past. Rocky hillsides and other secluded areas provide a haven for Hunterdon County's more reclusive mammals, including gray foxes. This nature preserve also supports a wide range of woodland birds.
Jugtown Mountain Reserve at 408 Mine Road just beyond the Bethlehem Township building is a 153-acre preserve at the peak of the Musconetcong Mountain, one of the principal ridges of the Highlands region. According to local legend, moonshiners stowed jugs of illegal liquor in its rugged ledges during Prohibition.Back to top
Bethlehem Township Points of Interest
David Reynold's Tavern is a historic circa 1763 building at the corner of Charlestown and Norton Roads. Although it began as a resting spot for local iron miners, it later became known as the township's first municipal building. The British Parliament's Stamp Act of 1765 made farmers in Bethlehem so angry about paying additional taxes that they formed the Sons of Liberty group. Meetings were held at the tavern, making it the township's first public meeting place. David Reynolds was especially upset about paying taxes to the British; he began printing counterfeit money on the third floor of his tavern, hiding the illegal machinery in the side of a fireplace's chimney. The operation was discovered by British soldiers who captured and hanged him.
The Pattenburg House was established in 1872 as a tavern and inn, and its prime location near the train station made it ideal for visitors to Bellewood Amusement Park in the early 1900s. Operating continuously for well over 100 years, the Pattenburg House remains a favorite spot for lunch, dinner and live music on the weekends. One of the oldest taverns in Hunterdon County, it is located at 512 County Route 615.Back to top

W.Va. the Most Stressed State, Hawaii the Least
(NEW YORK) -- If your nerves are a bit frazzled, chances are you live in West Virginia. According to the new Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index released earlier Wednesday, residents of this state are the most stressed-out in the nation.
Gallup has been tracking the daily stress levels of Americans since 2008. To find out how much the average citizen feels emotional and psychological stress and enjoys life on a daily basis, they polled more than 350,000 people by phone — despite the fact that numerous studies show increased phone usage can increase anxiety.
Besides West Virginians, more people who live in Rhode Island, Kentucky, Utah and Massachusetts reported a case of frayed nerves the previous day. In all those states over 40 percent of those surveyed admitted they felt some level of stress the day before being interviewed.
More people from Rhode Island, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, and West Virginia seem to be having a miserable time. Nearly 20 percent of people in those states told interviewers they did not enjoy themselves the day before.
Hawaiians, on the other hand, are mellow compared with those who live in the lower 48. For the second year in a row, they seemed to be the most immune to emotional stress and more likely to feel enjoyment. A mere 32 percent of Hawaiians reported feeling stressed out and nearly 90 percent said they were enjoying life. (President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.)
Other states with the fewest anxious residents included Louisiana, Iowa, Mississippi and Wyoming. After Hawaii, the states with the highest reported enjoyment levels were Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota and Idaho.
The researchers aren't clear what the association is between stress and enjoyment, but many of the states with the highest stress levels were also states where people seemed to be having the least fun. And rankings have remained fairly consistent, with stress levels in all states remaining statistically unchanged in 2012 compared with 2011.
For example, Hawaii has ranked as the state with the lowest percentage of residents reporting stress on the prior day all five years the survey has been conducted. West Virginia, Kentucky, and Utah, have each ranked within the top five most stressed states for the past five years. West Virginia ranked as the most stressed state in 2012, Kentucky was the top state for stress in 2008 and 2011, and Utah was the top state for stress in 2009 and 2010.
Residents in other high-stress states, Kentucky and West Virginia, were also among the least likely to experience enjoyment. Both of these states have appeared among the bottom five states for experiencing enjoyment at least three times since Gallup began reporting this measure, including last year's poll.
Regionally, states with stress levels at or above 42 percent were clustered in the Northeast and Midwest, but also included Utah, Oregon, and Washington. Utah is unique in that it routinely ranks among both the highest stress and highest enjoyment states. The researchers said they believed this underscores the complex relationship between stress and other emotions.
On average, 40.6 percent of Americans reported feeling stressed "yesterday" in this year's survey and almost 85 percent reported feeling enjoyment "yesterday."

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) After a grinding stretch when the Texas Rangers lost nine of their last 13 games, and the AL West crown in the process, manager Ron Washington gave his players the day off Thursday.
They get a chance to start fresh Friday.
One chance - or the season will be over for the two-time defending American League champions long before another World Series.
``I don't feel any different,'' Washington said. ``Other than the fact we have an opportunity to get back in the playoffs if we win a ball game.''
Still, the team that twice came within a strike of winning last year's World Series, never expected to be in this kind of postseason situation.
Instead of winning another division title, after being in first place for a majors-high 178 days this season, Texas hosts a winner-take-all AL wild-card ga,e Friday night against Baltimore and former manager Buck Showalter.
Yu Darvish makes his MLB postseason debut for the Rangers against the only AL team the right-hander from Japan didn't face this season. Lefty Joe Saunders, a late-season acquisition by the Orioles, has never won at Rangers Ballpark.
The winner goes on to play the New York Yankees, another of Showalter's former employers, in the AL division series and will host the first two games.
Baltimore is in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. Showalter, hired by the Orioles midway through the 2010 season, dismissed any notion that it means more to him getting to face Texas, where he managed for four years and then was replaced by Washington after the 2006 season.
``For our players and organization to get an opportunity, it's rewarding. We're trying to do everything possible to get back to Baltimore,'' Showalter said. ``Personally, I thanked the players for letting me come along for the ride. `'
Just a week ago, Texas had a four-game division lead with six to play after splitting a four-game series at home against Oakland. The Rangers lost five of those last six games, including a three-game sweep this week against the A's, who clinched the division title on the last day of the regular season with a 12-5 victory.
The Rangers had a 5-1 lead in the season finale before Oakland's big comeback, including center fielder Josh Hamilton missing a popup for a two-base error with two outs that allowed two runs to score and broke a 5-all tie.
The 4-9 span is their worst such slide of the season. The only other time they were swept in a three-game series was the first week of July at the Chicago White Sox.
``Just like any of our fans or anyone involved with our organization, there was a level of disappointment at first. A chance to win the division, and we couldn't put it away,'' general manager Jon Daniels said. ``Then you take a step back and realize there are 20 teams that would kill to be where we are right now and would trade places with us in a heartbeat. ... We've got one of our best pitchers on the mound at home.''
While Darvish (16-9) is a rookie in the majors, the 26-year-old starter had plenty of postseason experience before the Rangers committed more than $107 million last winter to acquire Japan's top pitcher. He was 8-2 with a 1.38 ERA and five complete games in 11 postseason starts for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters from 2006-11.
``He's an expensive one,'' Showalter said. ``He's impressive. They gotten a return on everything they've invested. He's pretty special.''
The Orioles acquired Saunders (9-13 overall, including 3-3 in seven starts for Baltimore) on Aug. 26 from Arizona. The lefty has previous playoff experience for the Los Angeles Angels.
But Saunders is 3-7 with a 6.48 ERA in 11 career starts against Texas, including 0-6 with a 9.38 ERA in six previous starts at Rangers Ballpark.
``You can make numbers any way you want to,'' Showalter said. ``If you're looking for pitchers with good numbers against the Texas Rangers, they're hard to find.''
It has been more than two years since Saunders pitched in Texas, and he allowed only one run in seven innings then. Now the Virginia native who grew up an Orioles fan is starting their biggest game of the season.
``It's a huge opportunity. It's been a blessing since I got traded over here, it's been an amazing experience,'' he said. ``It'd be really nice to get a win for the club and get a playoff game back home. That's what this organization is asking me to do.''
Texas won five of the seven games in the regular season and scored at least 10 runs three times. That includes the May 8 game in Baltimore when Hamilton, the free-agent-to-be slugger, became the 16th player in major league history with four homers in a game.
Hamilton (43) and Adrian Beltre (36), the standout defensive third baseman limited to being the designated hitter against Oakland because of a strained left shoulder, have the most homers by a pair of big league teammates this season.
The Orioles have a pair of 30-homer hitters in Adam Jones (32) and Chris Davis (33), who is among seven former Rangers playing for Baltimore.
Davis was traded to the O's with right-hander Tommy Hunter in July 2011 for Koji Uehara, the righty reliever who retired 25 consecutive batters for Texas before giving up a single in his last outing.
``The big thing for us was coming in August and playing these guys and kind of dealing with the emotions of being back, being on the other side of things,'' Davis said. ``Right now we're definitely excited to be in the postseason, and we really don't care who our opponent is. ... We're just glad to be in this situation.''

Step 2 - stamp the bread. One side or two. Your choice!
Step 3 - add sandwich contents. Whether it be gooey butters and jellies, egg salad, or something solid like ham and cheese: you MUST leave a clean border around the edges of the bread. The sandwich will seal on that border and if there is stuff in the way the results will not be ideal. The results will be messy at best, and most likely will not seal at all.
Step 4 - bring your sandwich together and press with your sandwich sealer. Admire your handiwork!
Often people are curious about how much bread is left to waste when making cutesie sandwiches. Usually there is not much wasted at all. Even though I use large bread (the wide loaves, not the typical sandwich sized kind), there is not much left behind at all....

We were reading about atomic structures and bond making and my teacher told me that when two atoms are fused or when they make bond, two orbitals are formed. 1-Bonding Molecular Orbital & 2- Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbital. I can't figure it out why these two orbitals are created?
I searched on internet and now stuck at the point that according to Pauli's Exclusion Principle, no two electrons can have same four quantum numbers. That's why two orbitals are formed, I thought two orbitals for each electron but I came to know that Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbital is completely empty having high energy, means there is no electron or anything in it and now I am confused in it.
Can anybody explain this to me so I can explain to my other classmates?

Tiananmen? What Tiananmen? Beijing keeps lid on protests
Tiananmen Square has been trending on social media all over the world and images of the massacre have been circulated online by thousands - but not in China. (USA TODAY, USA NOW)
BEIJING – Tight security around Beijing's Tiananmen Square Wednesday combined with a months-long crackdown against dissidents and a quarter century of enforced amnesia to prevent public commemoration of the crushing of the 1989 pro-democracy movement.
In Hong Kong, China's semi-democratic enclave, more than 100,000 people attended an evening vigil to mark the bloody end to seven weeks of demonstrations for a fairer, cleaner government 25 years ago.
On the mainland, China's ruling Communist Party forbids citizens from discussing the movement. Thousands were believed to have been killed on the evening of June 3 through June 4, 1989, when the same party sent army troops into central Beijing to quell protesters.
In the past two months, about 50 people have been detained in a pre-anniversary crackdown that Chinese activists and human rights groups have called the most severe ever.
FROM OUR ARCHIVES: USA TODAY's original reports from 1989
STORY: White House honors victims of Tiananmen Square
COLUMN: China, fess up on Tiananmen
China's state-run media all but ignored the highly sensitive date, while the censor's trigger finger was busy Wednesday blacking out television screens showing CNN and BBC whenever the foreign broadcasters aired segments on Tiananmen.
The White House urged China to account for the victims of the 1989 crackdown in a statement Wednesday supporting "the basic freedoms the protesters at Tiananmen Square sought." In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei asked the U.S. to "stop making irresponsible remarks related to issues of China's internal affairs."
At a regular briefing Wednesday, Hong said China had reached a conclusion a long time ago about the "political turmoil" in the late 1980s. With familiar phrases, he reiterated the official view that China's chosen path of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" has delivered great economic and social achievements.
At the square, and all roads leading to it, larger than normal numbers of armed police, SWAT teams and plain-clothed security personnel screened and monitored all pedestrians wanting to visit the square, which remained open Wednesday. Some 850,000 security "volunteers," mostly seniors with red armbands, watched over Beijing's roads and alleyways, according to the Legal Evening News.
Most visitors to Tiananmen Square are Chinese tourists from other provinces. Permanent giant screens displayed Party slogans Wednesday and colorful images of a prosperous, strong motherland. The footage highlights the extraordinary economic changes in a country transformed from the drab 1980s into the world's second largest economy.
What hasn't shifted is official silence on the protests, backed by a massive security apparatus and strict control of the Internet. The entire "Beijing Spring" of 1989 is not taught in schools. Most Chinese are unaware of the sensitive date, called "6/4" in Chinese, which sealed in blood the Party's approach to controlling a billion people: allow economic freedoms and punish those seeking political rights.
Beside the square, the vast National Museum of China displays just one, brief and critical mention of the pro-democracy movement of 1989: A single photograph shows elderly leader Deng Xiaoping congratulating the troops who slaughtered protesters and bystanders on June 4.
A quarter century later, several museum visitors appeared blank when asked last week about the movement. Even many eyewitnesses dare not recall those days in public or at home. Beijinger Zhao Jinghai saw both the protests and the military crackdown, but has never told his son, who was just 2 years old at the time.
"The less trouble, the better. How could it help him to know about it?" said Zhao, 56, a taxi driver. "The government forbids discussion of it, so I never discuss it."
Political taboos remain rife in China, where the party bans mention of multiple "sensitive" topics, and its history is a minefield. Even past and current leaders can be off limits. A smiling wax figure of U.S. President Obama stands inside the "Leaders Zone" of Madame Tussauds Beijing, which opened Saturday close to Tiananmen Square, but visitors will not spot a single Chinese ruler.
"Beijing is pretty sensitive, and we're so close to Tiananmen, so we can't display waxworks of Chinese leaders," explained marketing manager Ada Zhao. "Some people might be dissatisfied with the leadership, and attempt some action here."
Even popular first lady Peng Liyuan was vetoed, so they've stopped trying.
"It's just too much trouble," said Zhao.
Almost all Chinese media avoided references to the Tiananmen protests Wednesday. An editorial in the Global Times, a popular and nationalistic tabloid run by The People's Daily, the Party's main mouthpiece, criticized "Western anti-China forces" without directly mentioning the protests. In its English-language edition, targeted at foreign readers, the same editorial claimed that "Chinese society has never forgotten the incident 25 years ago but not talking about it indicates the attitude of society."
The past quarter century "feels like a century," said Wu'er Kaixi, one of the top student leaders who fled abroad after the massacre.
Since 2009, and the 20th anniversary of Tiananmen, Wu'er Kaixi — who works in Taiwain part time as a partner in a U.S. investment banking firm — has tried four times to turn himself in to Chinese embassies, in order to see his family back home in Xinjiang, northwest China. His parents, both members of Uighur ethnic group, are denied Chinese passports, and therefore cannot travel overseas, due to his activism, he said.
"I've been living in exile longer than the time I lived in China, which is very sad and very absurd at the same time," he said. "It's also the same length of time I haven't seen my aging parents, and they haven't seen their son and grandson."

Months after Apple apologized to consumers in China, Korean rival Samsung is doing the same after the country's state media criticized the vendor for failing to fix glitches in several of its phone models.
"We welcome the scrutiny from the media," Samsung posted to its China website on Wednesday. "Due to problems with management that brought inconvenience to our customers, the company expresses its sincerest of apologies."
Earlier this week, the country's state-controlled China Central Television aired a 30-minute segment that put a spotlight on flaws found in Samsung phones. The affected models include handsets which are part of Samsung's Galaxy S3 and Note 2 product line.
According to CCTV's report, a software glitch in the phones can permanently damage a memory chip within the device's motherboard. This can cause the phone to frequently crash, from 20 to 30 times a day, according to one Galaxy S3 owner interviewed in the segment.
Samsung, however, refused to properly acknowledge the problem, CCTV claimed in its report. Instead, the company said the glitch could be fixed with a software update, rather than replacing the phone's hardware.
In response, Samsung issued an apology on Wednesday, and said it would offer free repairs or replace phones with persistent problems. In addition, all affected phone models will receive another year of warranty protection, regardless of whether they showed any glitches.
The flaws in the phones could be unique to the Chinese market. Samsung said the problems stem from certain local third party apps installed on the handsets. These unspecified apps cause the phone's application processor and memory to overrun when "waking up", and will continue to contact servers even when in "sleep" mode.
"This issue can be prevented through a simple firmware over-the-air (FOTA) software update," the company said in an email.
Samsung is just the latest tech company to be scrutinized by China's state press. In March, Apple faced similar criticism over its warranty policies, which CCTV alleged treated U.S. customers more favorably than those in China.
Apple later apologized in April, and made changes to its policies.
Other foreign companies have also been targets. This past week, Starbucks has been defending itself after CCTV criticized the company for pricing its coffee products higher in China than in the U.S.
China's state press will regularly scrutinize companies, both foreign and domestic, as a way to regulate them, according to analysts. Apple and Samsung are two of the largest smartphone vendors in the country.

Naturally, two choices comes into play: VsetScreen(log, phys, 3, resolution); and Vsync();
First I assumed that VsetScreen() waits for VBL, sets the screen and return. That would be ideal. However, it's not the case. It just sets the pointers (log -> $44e, phys -> $ff820x) and return. In case of the physical buffer the video base pointer is reloaded in the next VBL what would be fine unless you realise you need to set your logical pointers just at that time and not sooner or later (otherwise you switch phys/log buffers but the old buffer is still visible). So doing something like:
Code: Select all
VsetScreen(new_logbase, new_physbase, -1, -1);
// ... my code writing to new_logbase
VsetScreen(Physbase(), Logbase(), -1, -1);
// swap new_logbase and new_physbase
isn't possible because "new_logbase" would contain value from "new_physbase" but this would still point to "live" picture until the next VBL.
So I thought all right, let's help the poor TOS a little:
Code: Select all
// ... my code writing to new_logbase
Vsync(); // wait for VBL explicitly here
VsetScreen(Physbase(), Logbase(), -1, -1); // set the video base
// swap new_logbase and new_physbase
and indeed, it does help. Most of the time. I don't know why but sometimes it seems like Vsync() is just too slow or too late or too whatever and the VBL is missed, crippling performance of the whole main loop.
Can anyone think of something better or spot a flaw?

Queen Creek (KNXV) -- Walmart is speaking out after a Valley man said he found out the hard way just how to get banned from their stores for life.
Joe Cantrell loves to ad match.
He goes through circulars to find the biggest discounts, and then goes to Walmart.
According to the company's website, they match the lowest advertised price on identical products, but when Joe tried doing that last week, the unthinkable happened.
What started as a trip to a San Tan Valley Walmart to get ornaments for his family's Christmas tree, turned into the biggest nightmare of Joe's life.
\"I was handcuffed, humiliated and embarrassed in front of everybody at Walmart,\" Joe remembers.
Walmart sent ABC15 the following statement Tuesday:
\"We make every effort to make sure our customers have a good experience in our stores. As in previous situations, we attempted to work with this customer. However, in this situation, the associate felt unsafe and so we contacted local law enforcement. We are continuing to cooperate with law enforcement on their investigation.\"
But according to Joe, there's a chance he just may be the most loyal Walmart shopper you've ever met.
Joe told us he visits the mega-retailer at least twice a day -- once in the morning with his grandmother, and then again in the evening.
\"I just love Walmart and that's why I go,\" he laughs.
Because to Joe, every little dollar counts.
\"Sorry I get a little emotional about this because I'm disabled,\" he said.
After eight years in the ring as a professional wrestler and lots of injuries, \"I can't do what I used to do for a living anymore,\" he said.
So four months ago, he started ad matching. But last week when a Walmart employee told him it wasn't allowed, Joe complained to management.
\"When I left, he turned around and called the Pinal County Sheriff's Office and said he felt intimidated and threatened. I was upset but never once did I say anything to the gentleman,\" Joe said of the incident.
He said when he went back to Walmart four days later, three deputies handcuffed him, gave him a court summons and a notice banning him from any Walmart in the world for life.
\"I felt shamed. I felt like I was the bad guy. And I know I'm not a bad guy,\" he said.
The deputies apparently agreed. Joe said when they realized the nature of the complaint, they let him go.
\"They saw a grown man cry like a baby,\" Joe said. \"Probably because I knew I would be able to go home to my family and finish that Christmas tree.\"
Joe wasn't arrested, but he said he's facing charges of threatening, intimidation and disorderly conduct. He has no attorney and he's still banned from Walmart for life.
Joe said he if knew ad matching was going to cause this, he just would have paid the extra money.

Seven-year-old Floridian Rita Lawlor was given an award by the Sarasota County Fire Department for her bravery and composure in the face of what would be a terrifying situation for anyone— her mother wouldn't wake up, even when slapped across the face with a piece of pizza. Master Shredder would be so pleased.
After Rita couldn't wake her mom, she called 911. The operator says she was calm and composed, giving her clear instructions about where she lived. The dispatcher told her to go stand in the yard so that officers knew which house was hers, and when the ambulance pulled up, they saw Rita standing in the driveway, still holding the phone.
Her mother has since recovered, and Rita is delighted by the award and goodie bag she was given by the department.
Most adorable emergency ever.

WSAV - For decades, 108-year-old Joanna Jenkins of Beaufort, South Carolina has watched elections come and go.
Now she is using her right to vote for the first time.
"She's just excited, she wants to vote this year, we were looking at the election, and as the debates were going on she decided she wants to vote all of a sudden. She just wants to vote, she wants to vote and is excited to vote," said her cousin, Shirley Lee.
Because she can't read or write, and does not have a state issued ID, her family didn't think she'd be eligible to vote, but thanks to help from their family doctor and the Beaufort County Board of Elections, she's registered as an absentee voter.
Elections officials say her case is extremely unusual.
"It's incredible, she grew up in a time when Jim Crowe laws were fully in effect, and minority voter suppression was the norm, and to vote was a fight not a right and she is a great example to others that it's never too late to vote and you should always exercise your right," said Director of Elections Scott Marshall.
"She was telling everybody, everyone that came by to visit, she was just telling everybody, I'm gonna vote! I'm gonna vote! So this year, she's gonna do it," said Lee.
For Joanna, there's no better time than now to start her voting record...and who gets her vote?
"Obama!!" she said with a smile.

Lindt Chocolate's First Global Campaign With Federer Nets Sweet Sweepstakes
July 19, 2010: Chocolate company Lindt is activating its first global campaign behind tennis star Roger Federer, anchored by a sweepstakes offering the top prize of a trip to New York to watch Federer in action and an ultimate prize of a trip to Zurich to take a tour of Lindt's headquarters with Federer.
Now through Sept. 12, 2010, consumers are being directed to www.Lindt.com to participate in "The Perfect Match" sweepstakes, a game that gives players the opportunity to win daily prizes, including Lindt Chocolate gift cards valued from $25-$100 value and Nike duffle bags autographed by Federer. Five consumers will have the opportunity to receive a three-day trip for two to New York this summer, where they can watch Federer "during one of the biggest tennis events of the year," according to Lindt.
The 2010 U.S. Open is being played in New York from Aug. 30-Sept. 12. Lindt is not an official U.S. Open marketing partner and is unable to use the event's branding or terminology in marketing.
In addition, all players will be entered into the grand prize sweepstakes for a chance to win a three-day trip for two to Zurich, Switzerland, to visit Lindt's global headquarters. During the trip, the winner will attend a meet and greet with Federer and be given a personalized tour of the Lindt & Sprungli chocolate plant. The Federer campaign is also being supported via social media including Facebook and Twitter.
Federer, currently ranked No. 3 in the world behind Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, signed with Lindt last October as the company's first global celebrity endorser. Like Lindt, Federer is a native of Switzerland.
Federer's other endorsement deals include Nike, Rolex, Gillette, Jura, Mercedes Benz, NetJets and Wilson.
"The values Federer and Lindt share — Swiss, premium, passion, quality — makes our partnership a 'perfect match,'" Thomas Linemayr, CEO and president of Lindt USA, said in a statement. "Our sweepstakes is a great way for consumers to get a personal taste of our Swiss heritage, and experience the enjoyment of our premium chocolate and tennis-related prizes."

How to Behave with Puerto Rican Businesspeople or Customers
Puerto Ricans may require your attention as a business owner. Your business may have Puerto Rican customers, or you may work with Puerto Rican-owned businesses. Here's how to behave in business with this cultural group:
Common greeting: Shaking hands is common for both men and women. Men and women who are friends may kiss each other on the cheek. Older people are respected and usually introduced first.
Be formal at first and don't use customers' first names unless invited to do so.
Personal space: Puerto Ricans tend to stand close when conversing, at about 1 to 1 1/2 feet. They often touch other people when talking, such as patting them on the back.
Eye contact: Direct.
Approach to time: May be 15 to 30 minutes late or more.
Language: Although Spanish is the national language, English is the language of business, so Puerto Ricans are usually quite comfortable speaking it.
Communication: Puerto Ricans are a friendly people who often smile while talking. They like to be very direct about issues and feelings, and they may be a bit emphatic while doing it.
Be aware that Puerto Ricans consider their country to be part of the United States, so if you were to say something like "We Americans . . ." (as if they're not Americans), your listener would likely be insulted.
Topics for building rapport: Sports and travel.
Negotiations: Usually begin with small talk and can end with a hard sell, so be prepared. Don't offer your best deal upfront, or you'll have few options when the real bargaining begins.
Actions to avoid: Sitting or standing with arms crossed or putting your hands on your hips are considered challenging or aggressive postures. Don't inquire about families or marital status; the rate of divorce and single-parent families is pretty high among Puerto Ricans in the U.S. don't talk about Puerto Rico's status as a U.S. territory because this is a sensitive and controversial topic.
Tips for businesswomen: Although Puerto Ricans value equality, the spirit of machismo is still alive and well. Puerto Rican men are used to seeing women in positions of power and authority, so be yourself, but remain aware that some men from this culture may prefer to work with a man in your business.

Snap o' the day: Butchered tree in autumn
Despite an unfortunate proximity to power lines and a brutal haircut, this Crozet oak hangs onto its dignity with its fall foliage.
More Snaps
15 comments
yep, there's beauty there...
Yep. The tree hackers took care of us pretty nicely out here. My Red Maple out front is shaped like an "L" I think I'm actually going to have it cut down. I don't think it's going to make it. They've "pruned" almost half of the tree. The experts even decided to cut some power lines on my street while they were taking such great care on out trees.
I grew up in the house in the background and remember that tree very well. In fact me and the Schultz girls had many glorious times playing in that tree. I know that progress has to come but it is a shame that they have to do this to a tree that is as old as this one.They might as well have cut it down than leave it like this. What a shame. There are not many of those trees that old around anymore.
Arthur: Thank you for the lesson on who trims out trees. It is very interesting to learn how it is done and by whom. I still say it is a work of art. I live down the block from the tree. What I see is a tree reaching for the skies, shaped a little different from others, but truly a work of art.
How truly sad for the future of the Shenandoah Valley if the butchering (no other word for it) to what could have been a tree in full autumn glory is viewed as a work of art by a trained arborist. Do you seriously want this "trained arborist" doing his work across your city?!
Every time you turn on your lights, you take part in the tree trimming process. There are certain codes that must be met when clearing power lines. There is also a budget that must be kept. They can not come back every 2 weeks and trim the tree. So I thing what the writers are trying to say, is there is beauty in what is left after the "necessary evil".
To Well Now, I appreciate what you're saying about the lights, utilities, etc. but have seen too many similar "trims" to maples, oaks, and magnolias over the years. In most instances, I believe the trimmers just "hack" the trees when they could do some more conservative trimming. Sure, it costs more. I think the beauty of a city's streets is largely in the landscape--espcially in an area such as Charlottesville.
I've noticed a strange phenomenon with electrical service: The same people who complain about the power companies taking preventative measure to minimize disruption to service (i.e. butchering trees) are the exact same people who moan and complain when they go without power for four hours. You can have the trees or electricity. Take your pick. I choose electricity.
why take the time to leave a mess? Time can be used to top and shape the tree for a healthier outcome (particularly for a motorist that could have the tree through their body in a windstorm)-
Butchering is not at all the proper word. Corrective pruning is what is being done. The men who now do the power line trimming are trained arborists although in decades past this was not always the case. They take great care to help the trees to heal properly and to maintain their health. In fact in some cities the pruning is done with such care as to be Topiary at its finest. Beauty is always there with a tree... think of it as a rather large Bonsai. But a word to the new homeowners in our area... give good consideration of mature tree size when planting trees around your new homes and power lines to reduce unneeded future work.
...especially in the science of creating maximal topgrowth adjacent to the lines they've cleared; independent contractors have been ripping off municipalities by encouraging this rapid regrowth, which increases the chance of snow/ice damage to lines and requires more frequent heading.
The State crews had more pride and cost concern than these guys.
"Butchering is not at all the proper word. Corrective pruning is what is being done."
It is most definitely not pruning.Pruning improves a tree. Turning a tree into a monstrosity uglier than Art-In-Place rubbish and necessitating the now dying trees to be removed, is a whole different thing.
uuuuummmmmmmmmmm"Š anyone who has had that done in their front yard, which is a group that is regularly enlarged...
It is a work of art!
I'll go by this tree myself and take a look at the pruning job. I'm thinking perhaps this tree has not been recently cut out like this but has grown into this shape after years of keeping it clear of the lines. I wasn't trying to entice facetious comments, simply to note that usually better care is taken of these trees than most would suspect considering it has been growing up under these lines. Regardless it shows the importance of proper planting of trees so these radical prune jobs are kept at bay.

What stuff do you believe in even though you dont have evidence and are atheist? I believe in aliens and some sort of afterlife. I also believe theres a 4th density that has different laws of physics. The 4th density im talking about is not about time. I believe theres alot of stuff the universe can do that would seem supernatural. I believe in magic and supernatural like powers that humans arent capable of.
Views: 1169
Not necessarily magic. Bullets - and sometimes, just pieces of bullets - have been known to do the damndest things.
They do, especially when it is someone on the VIP list who many others wish were not .... How does the bullet seem to know??
Definitely like a link to some of that information. Not challenging you, just always been interested in the topic. Thanks :)
Beyond the "magic" bullet, you might admit that it was a pretty sloppy investigation from time of the shooting +, especially considering the sensitivity of who was shot...
And mighty convenient that the accused was shot soon after, eh? Case closed?

At 49, Sandra Bullock tops the box office for a second week in a row in the space adventure "Gravity," defying Hollywood's former conventional wisdom that audiences won't go see an older woman in a leading role.
These days, actresses in their 40s are turning that convention on its head. Once relegated to supporting roles -- Sally Field famously played Tom Hanks' mother in "Forrest Gump" when she was 47 -- this latest crop of actresses in their 40s are now center stage.
"This is a great time for actresses over 40 -- maybe even a renaissance -- as audiences change and evolve," Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst for global media research company Rentrak, told ABC News. "It's good for Hollywood, it's good for the audience and it's obviously great for these ladies."
It seems the 20- and 30-somethings who watched as Bullock's career blow up at age 30 as the star of the bomb-on-the-bus thriller "Speed" are still following her nearly 20 years later. Same goes for Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry and Cameron Diaz.
"The 18-24 movie fans of 10 and 20 years ago are now in their 30s and 40s," Dergarabedian said. "They are still fans of the movies and they are growing up with the stars that they love. They are growing up together."
In fact, the Motion Picture Association of America found that more than one-third of all tickets purchased domestically in 2012 were by moviegoers age 40 or over. Baby boomers, who grew up going to the movies and account for 28 percent of the population, are certainly a big reason for the audience shift.
Not only are audiences rooting for these women with their dollars, but more of those dollars are landing in the pockets of these women, as top film actresses in their 40s out-earn their counterparts in their 30s.
Part of the reason is there are fewer shining stars in the generations that came after.
"There is a vacuum. Hollywood is not producing movie stars today like it did 20 years ago," Sharon Waxman, the founder and editor-in-chief of TheWrap, told ABC News. "And that leaves an opening for these women (in their 40s) from a business perspective as someone who has a built-in audience."
It also helps that some of these women look incredible.
"Forty is the new 25 in Hollywood," Waxman said. "We have these actresses who look incredible for any age. They have to appear on these screens in HD -- and 3-D in Bullock's case -- and they totally stand the test of the camera."
Click through to read more about five actresses in their 40s who are hot in Hollywood right now.
Sandra Bullock
"Gravity" is pretty much a one-woman show for Bullock, even with a weighty assist from George Clooney. Not only does she pull off an Oscar buzz-worthy performance but she flaunts her gravity-defying figure.
"She looks so amazing," Waxman said. "She told me that she worked really hard to look that good."
The Oscar-winning actress is having an incredible year, starring also in this summer's blockbuster buddy cop flick "The Heat," which grossed $226 million worldwide.
Melissa McCarthy
Bullock's "The Heat" co-star, Melissa McCarthy, not only doesn't appear to be your typical movie star, but she didn't break out until after 40.
After her hilarious supporting role in 2011's "Bridesmaids," McCarthy, 43, was cast opposite Jason Bateman in "Identity Thief," one of the year's top 10 grossing films. She followed up with "The Heat" and now finds herself in demand in Hollywood.
"Melissa McCarthy" is no one's idea of what a movie star looks like," Waxman said, "but she's so compelling, compulsively watchable and entertaining."
When Elle magazine, which features her on its November cover, is also under fire for having her appear in an oversize coat that covers most of her figure.
Naomi Watts
At 45, Naomi Watts believes her best days in Hollywood are still ahead.
"Women in their 40s have gone through quite a few different things, and so the roles are going to reflect that," she told Allure for its November issue. "People say, 'Oh, it's done by 40,' and now everyone knows it's not. I actually feel like the roles are a lot more interesting."
Watts plays Princess Diana in her latest film and was nominated for an Oscar for last year's "The Impossible."
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz rose to fame in the 1990s in films such as "The Mask" and "There's Something About Mary." She was 28 when she first voiced the role of Princess Fiona in the "Shrek" movies. Now, at 41, she is the highest-paid actress among the over-40 set, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Diaz, who usually commands $15 million a film, negotiated first-dollar gross on her 2011 comedy "Bad Teacher" and netted $42 million.
Robin Wright
It used to be that actresses who had children "fell off the map" and returned to a shadow of their previous careers, Waxman said. Robin Wright, who has two children with ex Sean Penn, is an example of the new shift taking place for actresses in their 40s.
"I've never worked more than I have in the last few years," the 47-year-old told reporters at Cannes earlier this year. "We're navigating in different waters today. ... The industry is what shifted."
Wright, who starred in "The Princess Bride" and "Forrest Gump," is now earning some of the best reviews of the year -- and an Emmy nod -- as the unapologetically ambitious wife to Kevin Spacey's scheming congressman in the Netflix series "House of Cards."

ATLANTA — About 1 in 110 children have autism, according to the government's latest estimate released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It's a small change from a 1 in 100 preliminary estimate that CDC officials made in October from the same study. CDC officials said the latest number comes from a more complete analysis of reports from 11 states.
Until recently, the CDC had been saying autism occurred in 1 in 150 children. The new CDC estimate looks at 8-year-old children who had been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder in 2006.
The increase may be due in part to better diagnosis and changes in how well records of it were kept in the study sites, said Catherine Rice, a CDC behavioral scientist who worked on the new report.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
"At this point its impossible to say how much is a true increase and how much is identification," she said, in a Friday news conference.
Doctors do not know what causes autism, but have been investigating possible genetic and environmental triggers. Results from the environmental research is still years away, Rice said.
In October, officials from the National Institute of Mental Health published results of a 2007 telephone survey of parents, that concluded that 1 in 91 children had autism. At the same time, the CDC released to the media preliminary results of 1 in 100 from its own research, which it updated on Friday.
The study is based on medical and school records of nearly 2,800 children in communities in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wisconsin.
Autism is diagnosed by making judgments about a child's behavior; there are no blood or biologic tests. For decades, the diagnosis was given only to kids with severe language and social impairments and unusual, repetitious behaviors. The definition of autism has gradually expanded, and "autism" is now shorthand for a group of milder, related conditions.
Health officials have urged stepped-up screening of children for autism, saying early therapy can improve how well children develop. While researchers have found that parents often voiced concerns about a child's development before age 2, the average age of diagnosis is still about 4 1/2.
