Florida wants to replace hard-to-see license plates with new tags
The state of Florida plans to ditch its iconic green and white license plate for a new tag that officials say will be easier to read and will save money by making it simpler to catch motorists who evade tolls.
Pressed by Gov. Rick Scott to cut costs and free up more money for schools, the state highway safety agency is forging ahead with a redesigned plate, at a cost of $31 million, that will be easier for cameras and police officers to see.
Currently, nearly one in six digital images is declared unreadable at toll booths by the Florida Turnpike Enterprise. Combined with other problems across the state, taxpayers lose at least $7 million a year.
The new plates would be phased in over two years on Florida's 15 million vehicles, if Gov. Rick Scott and the Cabinet approve.
The change would not come with a new cost to drivers, says Julie Jones, executive director of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
"We're not taking money from anyone," she said. "We're not charging people more."
State experts say the need for a tag with a cleaner font is accelerated by growing use of red-light cameras and future expansion of toll roads that rely on technology to monitor motorists.
But such big change has spurred big controversy.
Tax collectors, elected county officials who distribute many of the state's tags, are fiercely protesting state plans to outsource distribution of tags online and by mail to a private, for-profit vendor. They also challenge the state's claim that the change will save money and won't cost motorists more.
"I'm dead-set against it," says Hillsborough County Tax Collector Doug Belden in Tampa.
In addition, the St. Petersburg-based company that oversees the current manufacture of plates by prison inmates is worried about losing business to a rival after three decades. The firm, known as PRIDE, does not yet own the equipment to make the new flat tags.
"It's an integral part of our business, and we want to stay in the tag business," says PRIDE's lobbyist, Wilbur Brewton.
After a decade, the current Florida tag is in need of a makeover, with its embossed combinations of six green letters and numbers, lush orange blossom in the center and county names at the bottom.
The new tag, fresh off the drawing board, will be flat, with seven bold black letters and numbers segregated against a white background. County names will disappear in favor of the words "Sunshine State" or the state motto, "In God We Trust," on standard tags.
If the state carries out the plan, it would be one of the most sought-after contracts since Scott took office. The estimated cost is $31.4 million over two years.
The change would not affect specialty license plates, and motorists would be able retain vanity plates.
Scott's top highway safety official, Jones, says she will seek approval of Scott and the Cabinet on Oct. 23, then move forward with design and manufacturing plans. The Legislature would need to approve the up-front cost of replacing the plates.
A state study found that the current embossed license tag design, with letters and numbers combined together, makes it hard to distinguish a "B" from an "8" or a "Q" from an "O."
The study said the state loses more than $7 million a year from unreadable plates and that some motorists are wrongly accused of evading tolls of red lights due to misread tags.
The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority estimated that it loses $1.7 million a year.
Even though the new flat plates will cost more — at least $2.20 per tag compared to the current cost of $1.72 — Jones insists that the change won't cost motorists more money. She says savings from less waste and smaller inventories of unused plates will more than make up the difference.
The state currently charges motorists $28 for a tag, but the cost is spread over the 10-year life span of the tag, appearing as a $2.80 fee on each annual motor vehicle registration renewal.
Replacing 15 million tags in a two years will put pressure on county tax collectors, who value customer service.
"We deal with the public every day, and I hate to see them have to suffer," says Pinellas County Tax Collector Diane Nelson.
Nelson says the state could have saved money years ago if it stopped printing tags featuring the county names. She has an unwanted of 25,000 tags with the word "Pinellas" on them that will never sell because people don't want it.
"They want to be discreet," Nelson says.
Motorists will have a say in what Florida's new license plate looks like.
Sometime early next year, Jones says, the state will allow Floridians to choose their favorite license plate design in an online poll.
Three have variations of an orange symbol in the "O" in Florida, and a fourth has an orange in the upper left hand corner.
Jones says it's all about finding more money for Scott's stated No. 1 priority: schools.
"The governor has asked the agencies to dig deep. He wants to create savings across the enterprise so we don't cut education," Jones says. "I know these savings are to be had."

Priaboost : This Memorial Day weekend, as we properly honor the Oughout.S. military heroes who've fought so valiantly to secure our safety and liberty, the Oughout.S. Congress is voting towards the status on the expiring PATRIOT Act. Officials have used the PATRIOT Act since 2001 to routinely and repeatedly violate Americans' Fourth Amendment legal. The only truly moral and constitutional choice for the GOP-controlled Congress to choose this weekend would be let all the Act expire and expire. Should Congress instead renew it, The president should veto it.

Texas A&M Aggies Football Tickets
Texas A&M Aggies Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
When Coach Sumlin yanked LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis over to his program for a hefty $1.7 million, he was envisioning an A&M team not held back from frustratingly subpar defense. The Aggies allowed over 28 points per game, the most rushing yards, and the second-most passing yards in the SEC last year. Incoming five-star defensive tackle Daylon Mack and six four-star defensive recruits will help, but Chavis faces an uphill battle. The offense will be just fine. Sophomore QB Kyle Allen enters his first full season after a sharp freshman campaign, but he'll have to be sharp again as the top quarterback recruit in the nation, five-star Kyler Murray, will be right behind him. They'll have plenty of depth at wide receiver with Josh Reynolds (13 TDs), deep threat Speedy Noil, and more. But a running game that didn't impress behind Tra Carson with just 581 yards needs to pick it up. More aggressive running will be made possible through a better offensive line, another to-do on this squad. The Texas A&M Aggies operate under coach Kevin Sumlin at Kyle Field in College Station. The Aggies took a step back in their first SEC year without Johnny Manziel, starting 5-0 before losing three straight to Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and a stunning 59-0 loss at Alabama. They'd later upset #3 Auburn on the road before dropping home games to unranked Missouri and LSU. A&M has three national titles, although none since 1939, and 18 conference titles all time. Von Miller, Shane Lechler, Ryan Tannehill, Johnny Manziel, and Martellus Bennett are just a few of the notable names to come out of the school, which has sent 281 players to the NFL. Their rivalries have changed significantly with the conference shift out of the Big 12, now consisting of just LSU and Arkansas. The Texas-Texas A&M rivalry was one of the best in college sports, and they also had rivalries with Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU, and Rice. In 2015 they start off with six straight home games and nine overall, against Arizona State, Ball State, Nevada, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Alabama, South Carolina, Auburn, and Western Carolina.

BeatTips MusicStudy: Traffic's "Glad" Taught Me How To Shuffle
Lessons From One Of Progressive Rock's Most Engaging Bands
|By AMIR SAID (SA'ID)
Beatmaking, the chief compositional method of hip hop/rap music, allows for one to pull from a wide variety of musical forms (and sources) for instruction. For instance, progressive rock has always been a mainstay influence in my style and approach. And no other progressive rock band—other than Led Zeppelin of course—has had a direct hand in how I construct drum frameworks, and subsequently, my sense of time, more than the group Traffic.
Here, in their song "Glad," listen to the percussion hats that strike with suspenseful urgency on the quarter notes. And see if you can make out where the kick "hits" on the up-tempo sections of the overall arrangement. Then around the 5:00 mark, the arrangement dives into a slow, milky smooth bluesy-funk jam session that drummer Jim Capaldie laces delicately, with the sense and craftsmanship of a cat burglar. Indeed, there have been few songs that have shown me how to incorporate—and more importantly, account for—the "shuffle" element in music, while at the same time helped me improve my sense of timing.
The music and video below is presented here for the purpose of scholarship.
Traffic - "Glad" (from the John Barleycorn Must Die album)

I thought that genetic and physical evidence had finally filled in for us information on the hair color of Neanderthals and it turned out to be red.
However I still see, in this article http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php ... -evolution , Neanderthals depected with black hair, and, also, looking rather like Alaskan native populations.
Do we have any settled science on this. It feels a little biased to assume that the Neanderthals looked like Alaksa Natives.

New York-based McGraw-Hill Construction recently released its annual Construction Outlook Midyear Update, providing insight into the performance of the construction industry through the end of 2008. The major findings of the forecast, authored by Robert Murray, vice president of economic affairs for McGraw-Hill Construction, include:
New construction starts for 2008 are estimated at $558.5 billion, down 11%.
Single-family housing continues to weaken, with 2008 declines of 28% in dollar volume and 31% in dwelling units, steeper than what occurred in 2007. Not surprisingly, the single-family housing market is being adversely affected by many factors, including falling home prices, mounting inventories, and tight lending conditions.
Commercial building witnessed further expansion in 2006 and 2007, which carried over into the first quarter of 2008. However, the slower economy and tighter lending conditions are now causing projects to be deferred, and the loss of momentum will take firmer hold as the year proceeds. For 2008, commercial building will retreat 8% in dollar volume and 16% in square feet. Stores and warehouses are the most vulnerable to decline in the near term, while lesser reductions are anticipated for hotels and office buildings.
Institutional building in 2008 continues to see a strong amount of educational structures reach ground-breaking, helped in particular by more expansion for colleges and universities around the country. The 2008 forecast for institutional building calls for a 2% gain in dollar volume, although square footage will settle back 3%.
Public works construction in 2008 will also rise 2% in dollars. The push will come from greater federal funding for transportation projects in fiscal 2008, combined with an elevated focus on infrastructure repair and maintenance. Tighter fiscal conditions at both the federal and state levels of government are an emerging concern for the public works sector, but any restraint on construction is more likely to be experienced next year.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stocks rose Wednesday, gaining on the possibility that the European Central Bank will enact further stimulus measures.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.02% advanced 0.7% to 330.93, its best close in two weeks, as banking, auto makers and oil issues bounced up. Intesa Sanpaolo SpA ISP, +0.05% advanced 1.5%, Daimler AG DAI, +0.57% tacked on 2.8% and French oil company Total SA FP, +0.34% TOT, +0.02% ended up 1.5%.
Equity trading closed just ahead of expected remarks by U.S. President Barack Obama in Brussels about U.S.-European relations.
ECB officials on Tuesday indicated they were considering stepping-up a battle against low inflation. Bank of Finland Governor Erkki Liikanen said the bank hasn't "exhausted out maneuvering room," on interest rates, adding that a negative deposit rate and additional loans to banks are among the tools it may use. Meanwhile, Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann told MNI that it also hasn't tabled the idea of large-scale asset purchases, or quantitative easing.
Traders were "latching onto the positives and the prospects of policy easing in the euro zone," particularly after Weidmann, "known as a hawk among the ECB" indicated he was open to purchasing government bonds, said Ishaq Siddiqi, market strategist at ETX Capital, to clients.
The ECB talk comes as the U.S. Federal Reserve has been reducing the pace of its own stimulus effort of purchasing government debt each month.
The Stoxx Europe 600 added to Tuesday's jump of 1.3%, where gains were in part spurred after a gauge of U.S. consumer confidence surged to a more than six-year high.
European stocks stayed higher after U.S. figures showed durable-goods orders rose 2.2% last month, but the Commerce Department's report underscored widespread weakness in the world's largest economy, including in business investment. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.03% , however, came off session highs in afternoon trade.
In country-specific indexes, Germany's DAX 30 index DAX, +0.14% rose 1.2% to 9,448.58, with shares of Merck KGaA MRK, -0.32% bid up 1.2% after the chemical and pharmaceutical company said it will propose a 2-for-1 stock split to shareholders in May.
Also in Germany on Wednesday, a report from market-research company GfK showed the consumer mood in Germany held steady, as expected, going into April. Consumers see the outlook improving for the economy, although GfK noted there is uncertainty about how the crisis in Ukraine's Crimea region will affect consumer sentiment.
France's CAC 40 PX1, +0.09% gained 0.9% to 4,385.15, with a 2.4% push higher for Publicis Groupe SA PUB, +1.38% PUBGY, +1.93% after the ad agency's chief executive said approval from Chinese officials for a proposed merger with Omnicom Group Inc. OMC, +0.08% is "a matter of weeks."
But a stronger advance for the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.09% was pared to less than one point at 6,605.30. Hitting the index were shares of Lloyds Banking Group PLC LLOY, -0.32% LYG, -0.76%, down 4.9% after the U.K. government said it sold a 7.8% stake in the company.
Standard Life PLC UK:SL SLFPF, +3.21% shares, however, rallied 7% after the company's Standard Life Investments unit agreed to purchase asset manager Ignis from Phoenix Group for 390 million pounds ($645.2 million) in cash.

Floor Statement by Rep. Collin C. Peterson
For Immediate Release: June 18, 2013
Media Contact: Liz Friedlander, 202-225-1564
Floor Statement by Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin C. Peterson
H.R. 1947, The Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act
--As Prepared for Delivery--
"Thank you Mr. Speaker. I yield myself as much time as I may consume.
"Today, the House of Representatives finally begins debating a new, five year farm bill. This process has gone on long enough and it's time to pass a bill.
"The farm bill gives farmers and ranchers the necessary tools to provide American consumers with the safest, most abundant and most affordable food supply in the world. The bill includes farm, conservation, trade, nutrition, credit, rural development, research, forestry, energy and specialty crop programs.
"With roughly 16 million American jobs tied to agriculture, the farm bill is a jobs bill. The rural economy remained strong during our nation's financial crisis and that has continued during our recovery; this is in large part due to agriculture. And this is why the farm bill is so important. Failing to pass a new, five-year farm bill could potentially devastate our rural economy. Why would we want to jeopardize the one part of the economy that has been, and continues to be, working?
"I often tell people that the Agriculture Committee is perhaps the least partisan of all the Committees in Congress. We listen to each other, try to understand each other and work together in the best interests of our constituents.
"The bill before us today is a compromise that reflects that tradition. It is a compromise between commodities and regions, and urban and rural members. I didn't get everything I wanted; Chairman Lucas didn't get everything he wanted but that's how the legislative process is supposed to work.
"The bill makes major reforms to farm programs. Repealing direct payments saves taxpayers nearly $40 billion dollars and will ensure that farmers won't get a government subsidy for doing nothing. Instead, producers are given the choice between two counter-cyclical farm safety net programs, addressing either price declines or revenue losses, which only support farmers during difficult times. The bill also sets new income requirements so individual millionaires won't receive farm payments and it continues the no cost sugar program.
"H.R. 1947 also makes significant reforms to dairy programs, the result of more than four years of work and compromise by the dairy industry. The new dairy safety net will address the volatility in the dairy market, helping consumers by making all milk prices more stable and eliminating the price spikes that are normal in today's marketplace.
"The 2008 Farm Bill was the first farm bill to address the growing demand for fresh fruits and vegetables, local foods and organics. The 2013 Farm Bill continues this investment by increasing funding for specialty crop block grants, providing support for the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program, and authorizing the very first organic checkoff for research and promotion.
"We also recognize the challenges facing many beginning farmers by including support for outreach and education to beginning, socially disadvantaged and military veteran farmers and ranchers. The bill also streamlines and reforms current conservation programs, better targeting resources to allow farmers and ranchers to continue to preserve our valuable natural resources.
"A lot of attention has been given to the bill's cuts to nutrition programs, more than $20 billion over ten years. Personally, I would prefer to update the income and asset limits in the SNAP program so we don't have these situations where bordering states use different eligibility requirements, but the support wasn't there for that.
"The cuts to nutrition spending have received most of the attention but we were able to provide additional support for TEFAP, increase funding for the Community Food Projects, with a focus on low-income communities and provide more resources to help USDA's anti-trafficking efforts.
"While I think it's ridiculous to cut hundreds of billions of dollars, as some members have called for, it's also just not realistic to refuse to cut one penny from these programs. I do believe that we can make some reasonable, responsible reforms and, at the end of the day, find some middle ground that will allow us to complete our work on this bill.
"I know we are going to have a lot of amendments but it's my opinion that in order for the bill to be conferenced, to be able to get a new bill signed into law before September 30, we need to keep this a bipartisan bill and not stray too far from what was approved in Committee. I know that compromise is rare around here but it's what is needed to finally get a new five-year farm bill completed.
"With that Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time."

Subscribe To The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Might Be Titled The Price Of Power Updates
I've already subscribed
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is due out in theaters next May, and it has yet to receive a full title, which leaves us to speculate over what that title will be. Of course, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is always an option. A simple title for the sequel worked well enough for Spider-Man 2, after all. However it's just as likely that some sub-title will be tacked onto the sequel, and there are two rumored options for it making the rounds right now. The Amazing Spider-Man: The Price of Power and The Amazing Spider-Man: With Great Power…
File both of those under "rumor" and "possible titles," as they were shared by a ComicBookMovie.com fan who says Sony was surveying people on their preference for mentioned titles outside a screening of Captain Phillips at the Mall of America. The fan says there were actually three titles mentioned in the survey, but he forgets one of them. The two he remembers are The Price of Power and With Great Power. While "With Great Power" is a (partial) phrase that's surely familiar to to even the most casual of Spider-Man fans, "The Price of Power" rings more like a title. And doesn't make me feel the need to finish a sentence. But I may be in the minority there. CBM's poll currently has "Neither" coming in first, with "With Great Power" in second and "The Price of Power" coming in third.
Vote in our poll below:
What would be the best Amazing Spider-Man 2 Title
Both suggested titles focus on the recurring theme in Peter Parker's life, which is accepting the responsibility that comes with the power he has as Spider-Man. So the titles -- assuming they're actually in the running -- aren't particularly spoilery, though they do indicate that the power/responsibility theme will be particularly relevant in the sequel, which is being directed by Marc Webb. Here's the official description for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, due out in theaters May 2.
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
If we hear anything official on the title for the sequel, we'll be sure to post an update. In the meantime, read the latest on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and check out some of the previously released photos, including Jamie Foxx as Electro here.

It's that time again! Suegra has been back for quite awhile now but I'm just now getting a chance to blog about all the things she brought. Besides my super chévere typewriter, queso, frijoles and T-shirts, we received many other gifts – and this isn't even all of them. She has a fully packed suitcase back in El Salvador which she wasn't able to bring. A visiting Tía will hopefully deliver it to us soon.
Not pictured below is a special chile spice and achiote which I asked her to buy. Apparently TACA confiscated those from her carry-on luggage. Suegra put up a fight, but it was useless – they wouldn't allow it, (maybe it looks like powdered explosives?) … I pouted about this and the suitcase full of stuff she left behind and Carlos rightfully chastised me. "Look at all this stuff you got! And what did I get?" he asked, looking around.
I held up a plastic baggy with a little bundle of crusty old gauze inside it, "this?" I said, holding up the bag that contained his umbilical cord which Suegra had brought back with her from El Salvador.
"That's right," Carlos said, snatching the baggy. "You got a typewriter and I got my old belly button."
Here are some more of our souvenirs, (no umbilical cord photos included because that's icky.)
Carlos can't complain either. He got a Jesus towel. I'm glad this wasn't gifted to me. I think I'd feel uncomfortable actually using it.
Carlos also got an image of San Antonio, who was his father's favorite saint.
…And he got his school I.D. from when he was in middle school. Is it wrong that I find him incredibly guapo despite the Menudo hair and the fact that he's about 13 years old in that photo?
Our younger son got this little bag which is called a "morralito." Carlos says fútbol players use them to carry their bottled water to the field.
Want to see more souvenirs?

Pokemon Battles
Are you new to Pokemon and don't know the ins and outs of Pokemon Battles? This is the place to be! Of course, you can always play and learn through trial and error.
Pokemon Battles are the primary component to any Pokemon game. You can carry one to six Pokemon in your team at any time. The same goes for whoever you face in a battle. You, and the trainer you battle, have the option to switch to another Pokemon at any time during the battle. After a Pokemon on the other team is defeated, you will be given the option to choose a substitute Pokemon to face the new Pokemon, unless you changed the Battle Style option in the options menu to Set instead of Rotate.
The objective of all battles is to make all the Pokemon on the other team faint. To do this, you must drain all HP from the other team's Pokemon. If you lose a Pokemon Battle, you will be sent to the last Pokemon Center you visited to heal your Pokemon. Your Pokemon will keep any increases in levels or new moves they may have earned during the previous battle, but if a Pokemon was about to evolve, you'll have to wait until they reach the next level again.
Now lets go a bit more in depth.
Hit Points[edit]
HP, which is short for Hit Points, are the points a Pokemon associates its health with. As Pokemon level up, they gain more HP. You must attack another Pokemon until they lose all HP and faint.
To reduce a Pokemon's HP, you must use certain Attacks on a Pokemon. The battling system is based on the old school RPG turn based battling system. Both sides choose an attack and the Pokemon with the higher speed stat, or faster move, hits first. Each and every Pokemon can learn up to four moves at any given time. As they level up, they can learn new moves and replace one of the four in their move set. For more information on Attacks, see the Attacks page.
Power Points[edit]
Each Pokemon Attack has PP, which is short for Power Points. PP is the amount of times you can perform an attack before it becomes useless. Each time you use an attack, you will lose one PP on that particular attack.
Some moves have a lot of PP, like Tackle's 35 PP. Other moves may only have 5 PP. If all your moves run out of PP during a Pokemon Battle, you perform a special move called "Struggle." Struggle is a type-less physical attack that hurts the Pokemon that's using it (Recoil) a small amount each time they hurt the enemy.
In addition to Attacks, you can use Items on Pokemon to help them out during battle. Not all Items can be used in battle, but the ones that can may make or break a match. Items can be used to heal a Pokemon's HP, heal a Pokemon's Status Effects, or even revive a fainted Pokemon! For more on Items, check out the Items sections.
Different Battles[edit]
Battles are no longer simply one on one; although, the majority of Battles still are. Now days, you can battle two on two and even three on three!
In Battles with more than two Pokemon, some attacks you perform can be done on your team's Pokemon or to the opponent Pokemon. Of course, you don't want to perform any harmful attacks on your team's Pokemon, but there are some attacks that will affect all the Pokemon on the field.
Once one Pokemon faints, another Pokemon can come into the battle until there are no Pokemon left. You may even reach a point where it's one on two or even one on three! Take out all Pokemon to win the match.
Double Battles[edit]
Double Battles are two on two. Sometimes Wild Pokemon will even come out in double battles. These battles are pretty simple, they're pretty much like single battles, but with two Pokemon.
As mentioned earlier, some Moves can hurt Pokemon on your team, and other moves are made specifically for helping your team. View the Move Dex page to see the type of attacks that help or hurt your team.
Multi-Battles are exactly the same as Double Battles, but two trainers (four total) will be on each side with their own Pokemon. If you defeat all the Pokemon of one trainer, only one Pokemon instead of two will be released on that side.
Triple Battles[edit]
Triple Battles are three on three. Unlike Double Battles, Triple Battles are a bit more difficult. The difference in Triple Battles is the range of Pokemon's Attacks. Some attacks can only hit Pokemon in front of the user, or one space to the left or right. Pokemon in the middle can easily hit all three opponents, but all three opponents can also hit the middle Pokemon. As for the Pokemon on the left and right side, they won't be able to reach the Pokemon on the opposite side of the battle unless they use certain long range attacks. View the Move Dex page to see the attacks that can hit long range.
As mentioned earlier, some Moves can hurt Pokemon on your team, and other moves are made specifically for helping your team. View the Move Dex page to see the type of attacks that help or hurt your team.
If the last two Pokemon are too far away to hit each other, they will both be reset to the middle positions.
Rotation Battles[edit]
Rotation Battles were extremely rare, but they are a lot more common in B2W2.
Three Pokemon are on the field, but only one Pokemon faces one Pokemon at a time. It's sort of like a Single Battle, but the three Pokemon can switch places at any time. The trainers can choose an attack, or rotate Pokemon and choose an attack without missing a turn like in single battles. The rotation will always happen before any moves are used. All Stat Changes will remain on all three Pokemon, even if they are rotated out. Eliminate all Pokemon to win the match.

Rumors of Facebook pending initial public offering are growing after the social network froze trading of its stock on secondary markets.
While Facebook is not a publicly traded company, select shares of the Menlo Park-based company can still be purchased on so called secondary markets.
Usually they are sold in high volume to high end traders.
But Facebook won't approve or reject any transactions on the secondary market through Friday, which is causing some analysts to predict that the company is preparing to go public.
Facebook would not comment on the story to multiple outlets.
Mark Zuckerberg's company is widely expected to go public at some point this year and many expect it to be the largest IPO ever with a valuation somewhere around $100 billion.

Previews of the Maryland General Assembly
Americans have a thing for lawlessness.
If we had a mantra, it might go something like this: The fewer laws the better — except as they benefit us personally.
From the Pilgrims, Conquistadors and New Dutch to explorers, pioneers and cowboys — not to mention robber barons — we've made our own laws.
Nobody better tell us what to do.
That strain of individual liberty is today's big news. It's coloring the tea party and segments of the Republican party, most brightly at Ron Paul's end of the spectrum.
But even Republicans, those champions of small government, can't stop themselves from writing laws.
Lawmaking is why we send 188 legislators to Annapolis from January to April each year. Each Assembly writes and considers, however minimally, some 2,300 bills.
Eager-beaver lawmakers introduced nearly 100 pieces of legislation — 47 bills in the House, 45 in the Senate — even before the General Assembly convened on Wednesday, January 11.
In prefiled bills, you see what it was like to go to the movies in the old days, when cartoons, selected short subject and previews lit up the screen before the features.
We've found some Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies in bills on matters ranging from graffiti to ethnic pride to lighthouses. Then we look at some serious special subjects.
Among the Merry Melodies is prefiled legislation from Sen. Katherine Klausmeier (D-Baltimore County), directing Irish American Gov. Martin O'Malley to proclaim October German American month with "educational and cultural organizations to observe the month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities."
Sen. Ed Reilly, a Republican from Anne Arundel's District 33, wants the same honors for Irish Americans in March.
Young American heroes would get a day, the first Monday of October, under Anne Arundel GOP Sen. Bryan Simonaire's early bill recognizing "positive contributions that minors have made to society."
Graffiti would not be a state-supported art under HB 25, prefiled by Del. John Olszewski, a Republican from Baltimore County. Instead, conviction for graffiti would cost spray-can artists both payment of restitution and community service for "malicious destruction of property."
But lighthouses would get overdue recognition under another bill Olszewski filed early. It would make a Maryland lighthouse our 26th state symbol. Millers Island Lighthouse would join Smith Island Cake, jousting, lacrosse and the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly.
One of dozens of lighthouses still standing in Maryland (and one of four in Craighill Channel of Back River), our potential state lighthouse is a four-footed, 105-foot-tall skeleton tower built in 1873. It is not one of the Bay's signature screwpile lights. But it is still lighting the way, and it is in Baltimore County, Olszewski's district.
Other prefiled bills are like previews at the movies, teasing the drama that will be playing out in the Assembly. These previews suggest that the right to do as we please — except on hot-button social issues like marriage and choice — will be a big story in Maryland, much like the anti-regulatory movement in Washington.
Environmental protection plays the villain threatening individual rights in some of upcoming dramas.
Del. Galen Clagett wants to put the breaks on Smart Growth and the green movement. Clagett, a Frederick Democrat, prefiled a pair of bills that would seem more likely to have come from Republicans across the House aisle.
The unlikely villain of Clagett's HB 32 is Maryland's State Plan, which seeks to preserve rural lands and open spaces by directing growth and state funding to areas already developed.
Clagett's legislation would give the General Assembly the final say over the governor's State Development Plan.
Sewage treatment plays a big part in Maryland's environmental plans, and it is a target of a bill already filed by Del. Michael Smigiel, an upper Eastern Shore Republican. Maryland's environmental plans are especially dangerous characters. Smigiel's anti-Smart Growth legislation, among other things, would repeal the state's authority to decide who gets septic systems.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promises to be a villain in the Maryland General Assembly, replaying battles in Congress staged by tea party forces against the EPA. Another Clagett bill forbids Maryland from enacting environmental standards stricter than those imposed by the federal government. In other words, it could be bad news for Chesapeake Bay if Congress succeeds in rolling back environmental regulations.
Prefiled bills carry low numbers, but that doesn't give them priority when the action begins. Smigiel must not have gotten the memo; he has a dozen bills already in the hopper.
Among them is his legislation to give "an owner of private property a cause of action" — more legal standing to challenge — if plans or environmental regulations infringe on individual property rights.
There's plenty to worry about in these dangerous times, judging by still another Smigiel bill aimed at the prospect of fraudulent petitions. He and eight cosponsors want more rules, including public scrutiny, to "ensure the integrity, accuracy, and efficiency of the process." Three of the eight cosponsors are Anne Arundel County GOP delegates: Nic Kipke, Steven Schuh and Cathy Vitale.
Some prefiled bills revive old grievances. Higher Bay Bridge tolls rankled last year. Bills prefiled this year in both houses would make sure citizens had plenty of time to comment before any new tolls.
Searching for money is sure to be a recurring theme of this year's Assembly.
The search wouldn't get far if Smigiel and eight cosponsors — including Republicans Don Dwyer and Nic Kipke in Anne Arundel — get their way. Every single appropriation would first have to be approved by voters at the polls, a far-out piece of legislation that would make spending much harder.
An amendment to the Maryland Constitution proposed by Anne Arundel Del. Herb McMillan, a Republican, would protect the sanctity of defined pots of money. It would mean no more raiding state funds like the Highway Trust Fund, Open Space Fund or Flush Tax fund — a bipartisan habit among governors of late — to get money for other causes.
As state money flows to a trickle, Klausmeier is looking for money from gambling. If you've got slot machines, why not table gambling, one of her bills suggests. Another, cosigned by Anne Arundel Sen. John Astle, a Democrat, wants to allow nonprofits to operate as many as five slot machines and veterans' groups be permitted to sell instant lottery tickets.
That's all for now. But there's lots more coming — Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies at the General Assembly, now playing in Annapolis.

Amanda's first novel, A Gentle Thief, is a book nearly 20 years in the making. Inspired by a case she worked on while a lawyer, it is the story of a young woman found dead on New Year's Day, clutching a gun to her chest, who everyone assumed committed suicide. Everyone except her father. It is the story of the young attorney her father hires who becomes devoted to him and the truth of his cause. A Gentle Thief is available in paperback and digital form.
About Amanda
Amanda Dickson is a renaissance woman who is at much at home at Chucky Cheese as she is in front of an audience of thousands or sequestered working on a book. She is beloved by her Utah radio audience for her openness and irresistible laugh, but there is a depth to her that comes not only from her legal training, but from her personal suffering, and that depth connects her to the readers of her newspaper columns and books. Amanda thinks of her life as a path, one she walks holding her husband's and childrens' hands, always learning, forever curious, eternally grateful for the souls she encounters along the way.
Speeches & Voice Over
Amanda has been speaking to groups of all sizes and makeups for 20 years. Like so many inspired endeavors, people began asking her to come almost by accident - come and share stories from her life. Come and cheer up their employees, help their teachers feel appreciated, help their volunteers recapture their spirit for volunteerism. And so she did. Now Amanda travels the country speaking to groups on the joy of work, the ease of embracing change, the power of friendships. Somewhere in the laughter, the acceptance of failure and embarrassment, the hope that is born for greater things, Amanda's audiences, even the skeptical ones, leave feeling better - about themselves - which is always her strongest desire.

In the registrational, multicenter, randomized, open-label study of 414 patients
with follicular NHL, patients were randomized to receive ZEVALIN (n=208) or no further
treatment (n=206).1
Common adverse reactions (≥10%) in clinical trials: cytopenias, fatigue,
nasopharyngitis, nausea, abdominal pain, asthenia, cough, diarrhea, and pyrexia.
The most serious adverse reactions of ZEVALIN are prolonged and severe cytopenias (thrombocytopenia, anemia, lymphopenia, neutropenia) and secondary malignancies.
ZEVALIN® is a CD20-directed radiotherapeutic antibody administered
as part of the ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen indicated for the treatment of patients
WARNING: SERIOUS INFUSION REACTIONS, PROLONGED AND SEVERE CYTOPENIAS, and SEVERE
Serious Infusion Reactions: Deaths have occurred within 24 hours
of rituximab infusion, an essential component of the ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen.
These fatalities were associated with hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, acute respiratory
distress syndrome, myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation, or cardiogenic
shock. Most (80%) fatalities occurred with the first rituximab infusion. Discontinue
rituximab and Y-90 ZEVALIN infusions in patients who develop severe infusion reactions.
Prolonged and Severe Cytopenias: Y-90 ZEVALIN administration results
in severe and prolonged cytopenias in most patients. Do not administer Y-90 ZEVALIN
to patients with ≥25% lymphoma marrow involvement and/or impaired bone marrow reserve.
Severe Cutaneous and Mucocutaneous Reactions: Severe cutaneous
and mucocutaneous reactions, some fatal, can occur with the ZEVALIN therapeutic
regimen. Discontinue rituximab and Y-90 ZEVALIN infusions in patients experiencing
severe cutaneous or mucocutaneous reactions.
Dosing: The dose of Y-90 ZEVALIN should not exceed 32.0 mCi (1184
Risk of Developing Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Leukemia and Other Malignancies:
The radiation dose resulting from therapeutic exposure to Y-90 radiolabeled
ZEVALIN may result in secondary malignancies.
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and/or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) were reported
in 5.2% (11/211) of patients with relapsed or refractory NHL enrolled in clinical
studies and 1.5% (8/535) of patients included in the expanded-access trial, with
median follow-up of 6.5 and 4.4 years, respectively. Among the 19 reported cases,
the median time to diagnosis of MDS or AML was 1.9 years following treatment with
the ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen; however, the cumulative incidence continues to
Among 204 patients receiving Y-90-ZEVALIN following first-line chemotherapy, 26
(12.7%) patients in the ZEVALIN arm developed a second primary malignancy compared
to 14 (6.8%) of patients in the control arm. Seven patients (3.4%, 7/204) were diagnosed
with MDS/AML after receiving ZEVALIN, compared to one patient (0.5%, 1/205) in the
control arm, with a median follow-up of 7.3 years. Deaths due to second primary
malignancy included 8 (3.9%) patients in the ZEVALIN arm compared to 3 (1.5%) patients
in the control arm. Deaths due to MDS/AML included five (2.5%) patients in the ZEVALIN
arm compared to no patients in the control arm.
Extravasation: Monitor for extravasation and terminate infusion
if it occurs. Resume infusion in another limb.
Immunization: Do not administer live viral vaccines to patients
who recently received ZEVALIN.
Radionuclide Precautions: During and after radiolabeling ZEVALIN
with Y-90, minimize radiation exposure to patients and to medical personnel, consistent
with institutional good radiation safety practices and patient management procedures.
Embryo-fetal Toxicity: May cause fetal harm if given during pregnancy.
Impairment of Fertility: There is a potential risk that the ZEVALIN
therapeutic regimen could cause toxic effects on the male and female gonads. Effective
contraceptive methods should be used during treatment and for up to 12 months following
the ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen.
Nursing Mothers: Patients should be advised to discontinue nursing
during and after ZEVALIN treatment.
Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions of ZEVALIN
are cytopenias, fatigue, nasopharyngitis, nausea, abdominal pain, asthenia, cough,
diarrhea, and pyrexia. Common adverse reactions (≥10%) in clinical trials were:
cytopenias, fatigue, nasopharyngitis, nausea, abdominal pain, asthenia, cough, diarrhea,
and pyrexia. The most serious adverse reactions of ZEVALIN are prolonged and severe
cytopenias (thrombocytopenia, anemia, lymphopenia, neutropenia) and secondary malignancies.
When administered following first-line chemotherapy, grade 3/4 adverse reactions
of ZEVALIN include prolonged and severe cytopenias (thrombocytopenia [51%], neutropenia
[41%], leukopenia [36%], lymphopenia [18%], and anemia [5%]) and secondary malignancies (12.7%).
Cytopenias were more severe and more prolonged among eleven (5%) patients who received
ZEVALIN after first-line fludarabine or a fludarabine-containing chemotherapy regimen
as compared to patients receiving non–fludarabine-containing regimens. Grade 3/4
infections occurred in 8% of ZEVALIN-treated patients and in 2% of controls and
included neutropenic sepsis (1%), bronchitis, catheter sepsis, diverticulitis, herpes
zoster, influenza, lower respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, and upper respiratory
tract infection.
Grade 3/4 adverse reactions of ZEVALIN in relapsed or refractory NHL patients include
prolonged and severe cytopenias (thrombocytopenia [63%], neutropenia [60%], anemia
[17%], and ecchymosis [<1%]) and secondary malignancies (5.2%). Serious infections
occurred in 3% of patients (urinary tract infection, febrile neutropenia, sepsis,
pneumonia, cellulitis, colitis, diarrhea, osteomyelitis, and upper respiratory tract
infection). Life-threatening infections were reported in 2% of patients (sepsis,

How the Raider recruitment process works:
- Please fill out the application form. We've had reports of the anti-spam question causing problems for people. Please be sure to capitalize the name of the guild master of TC and you will have no problems. Please draft your answers in notepad as you can lose your work due to server timeouts if you are taking a while to press submit.
- An officer will contact you via email and/or battlenet only if you have been accepted for the next step. This may involve a bit of back and forth discussion and ends with an interview in Mumble.
- During the interview, we will discuss next steps and ask each other questions. We will make a final determination about bringing you on as a recruit and discuss expectations about a possible length for your recruitment period. A typical trial may last anywhere from two to four weeks.
- Not relevant for Battle for Azeroth which is "Personal Loot", but keeping this here should things change: While recruiting, you will not be eligible for loot that is still needed by current guild members. You are of course welcome to anything that is not needed. Should you ultimately become a guild member, you will be 100% eligible for participation in our guild loot policy.
For those interested in being a Member, but not a Raider:
- Fill out the above application to the best of your ability, especially the questions that are not just about raiding.
- Indicate somewhere on the application that you are not interested in raiding with us, and are simply interested in being a Member.

You must be hungry. Won't you have a little something? Welcoming Guests/Hachnasat Orchim
According to tradition, it was Abraham Aveinu, Our Father Abraham, who started the mitzvah of Welcoming Guests/Hachnasat Orchim when he arose from the spot where he was resting following his circumcision and greeted Adonai and two angels offering to "fetch a morsel of bread" that they might refresh themselves (Genesis 18: 1-5). With that simple statement, he sets in motion the production of a feast that any Jewish mother would be proud of. He orders Sarah to prepare a mountain of bread and cakes, while he slaughters a choice calf and prepares curds and milk – in other words, he makes enough food for an army. Digging deeper, however, a lovely piece of midrash reveals:
"All the days in which Sarah lived, the doors of the entrance [to her tent] were open to the wind (ruah)…. And all the days in which Sarah lived, there was a blessing sent through the dough [with which she baked]…. All the days in which Sarah lived, there was a light burning from one Shabbat evening to the next Shabbat evening…." (Genesis Rabbah 80:16 on Genesis 24:67).
So it seems that Adonai and the angels may not have been the first visitors to the tent of Abraham and Sarah, certainly they were not the last. The midrash continues that when Isaac took Rebekkah as his wife, these same mystical rituals continued.
Welcoming Guests/Hachnasat Orchim is a wonderful mitzvah that allows us to meet new people and share our traditions with others. This time of year, with Hanukkah beginning on the evening of December 20, provides a perfect opportunity to practice this mitzvah with family, friends and neighbors.
The following books are wonderful examples of this delightful mitzvah:
Bubba and Beau Meet the Relatives. Written by Kathi Appelt. Illustrated by Arthur Howard, ©2004. Harcourt, Inc. Ages 3-6. In five short, simple chapters, Bubbaville becomes abuzz with the imminent arrival of the relatives. The house must be rearranged. All the best dishes must be cooked. There is no escape, even when Bubba and Beau try to hide in their favorite mud hole. What are a baby and her buddy dog supposed to do?
The Snow Blew Inn. Written by Dian Curtis Regan. Illustrated by Doug Cushman, ©2011. Holiday House. Ages 3-6. Emma has made plans to have a sleep over with her cousin, Abby. But a snow storm arrives before Abby, bringing with it stranded travelers who need a place to stay for the night. Every space in the tiny inn is taken – even Emma's bedroom! Will there be room for Abby and her mother if they arrive?
The Paper Crane. Written and Illustrated By Molly Bang, ©1985. William Morrow & Company. Ages 5-8. A hectic, award winning restaurant sat on a busy road, until one day a new highway was built that bypassed the restaurant. No one came anymore, and the restaurant was empty most of the time. One day an old man stopped in for food. The restaurant owner, delighted to see a customer at last, fed him generously, even though the stranger had no money. In payment, the old man folded a paper napkin into the shape of a crane. With this simple gift, the restaurant's future changed.
A Song for Lena. Written by Hilary Horder Hippely. Illustrated by Leslie Baker, ©1996. Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. Ages 5-8. Lena's Grandma makes delicious apple strudel. While she makes it, she hums a beautiful song to remind her of her childhood. As Lena helps her make the strudel, Grandma tells her the story of a traveler, of hospitality and of a special unexpected gift.
The Stranger. Written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg. Houghton Mifflin Company, © 1986 Ages 7-10. In late summer, early fall, Farmer Bailey accidently hits a man with his truck. The man is unable to speak and does not know who he is. He stays with the family for a few weeks until he suddenly remembers who he is.
Skellig. By David Almond. Laurel Leaf Books, © 1998. Ages 9-12. When Michael moves into a new house in a new neighborhood he hopes that life for him and his family will change for the better, his ailing baby sister will get well and he will do better in school. Nothing like that happens, until he finds a strange person/creature/thing in his dilapidated garage.
The Arrival. Written and illustrated by Shaun Tan. Arthur A. Levine Books, © 2006. Ages 11-15. In this graphic novel, a man must leave his wife and young daughter to emigrate to a new country, find a job and start a new life before sending for them..
I try to keep the "walls of my tent" open as much as possible. Whether serving my family of four or a house full of guests, I take joy in each moment. Each individual has a story to tell, an experience to share and all together my life has been made richer by each encounter. As you read these books, discuss them with your children using the "Speak Volumes" guide, the questions and activities will provide you with many opportunities to welcome guests during this special holiday-filled month.
Happy Reading,
Kathy B.

One cover letter template misconception is that the job seeker can take this cover letter template and use it as is. Cover letter templates are not ready to use templates. They are just a basis for which to give you an idea on how to create your cover letter. When you send one out the way it is, you are basically just sending the prospective employer a stale already seen a thousand times before cover letter.

Furcal finds footing at new spot with new team
JUPITER, Fla. -- The opening of Marlins Park in 2012 was historic for the Marlins' organization and their fans who endured 19 seasons of weather-impacted games.
The unveiling of the retractable-roof building represented a new beginning and gave the franchise long-term stability in South Florida.
JUPITER, Fla. -- The opening of Marlins Park in 2012 was historic for the Marlins' organization and their fans who endured 19 seasons of weather-impacted games.
The unveiling of the retractable-roof building represented a new beginning and gave the franchise long-term stability in South Florida.
To celebrate the grand opening, the inaugural game was nationally televised between the Marlins and Cardinals, who were coming off a World Series championship season. A St. Louis player that day is currently making a comeback this year with Miami, and he actually has become the answer to a Marlins history trivia question.
Who was the first player to bat in a regular-season game at Marlins Park?
Answer: Rafael Furcal.
"I remember I got three hits," Furcal said.
Indeed, he did, going 3-for-5 in St. Louis' 4-1 win. Furcal also vividly recalls what he did in the first at-bat at Marlins Park.
"I grounded to short," he added, without having to be reminded.
Facing Josh Johnson in the first inning, Furcal christened baseball at the Marlins' new home, with a routine ground ball to shortstop Jose Reyes, who threw on to Gaby Sanchez at first base for the out.
Now Furcal has switched teams, signing as a free agent with the Marlins in the offseason. And after missing all of last year due to Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, the 36-year-old is making the transition from shortstop to second base.
The Marlins are building around young talent and a strong pitching staff, and Furcal embraces the opportunity to be part of the team's resurgence.
"I live in Miami," he said. "What I see in this team is a lot of young talent. I think they have a chance. They lost a lot of games last year by one or two runs. I'm coming in as a veteran. I am helping those young guys. I think they're going to be better."
Marlins manager Mike Redmond plans on using Furcal in the leadoff spot.
Barring something unforeseen, Furcal projects to be the first Marlins batter on March 31 in the opener against the Rockies at Marlins Park. He has already launched the new stadium, and now he has a chance to get the new season going.
When Furcal set foot in Marlins Park in 2012, he felt he was in a special place.
"My reaction was, this is one of the most beautiful stadiums I had been in," he said. "It's nice. I think the people of Florida deserve a stadium like that, especially in the summer, when there is a lot of rain. They don't have any more delays."
Furcal broke in with the Braves in 2000, and he dealt with rain delays numerous times when he came to South Florida to play the Marlins.
"It was tough when you are ready two or three hours before the game, and then it rains," he said. "This ballpark is beautiful. Florida is one of the states that plays the most baseball in the United States. I'm so happy to be in a stadium like that."
Marlins Park is now Furcal's new home, and he is using Spring Training to get ready to settle into a new position.
Formerly an All-Star shortstop, Furcal has played some second base, but not much: A total of 36 games, with his last action there coming in 2004.
The Marlins envision a seamless transition, and they coveted Furcal's leadership and history of success. In 12 of his 14 seasons, Furcal's team has made the playoffs.
"Everybody who I've talked to said this guy is the best teammate ever," Redmond said. "That says something about a guy. We're excited to have him in there."
Furcal's presence, the club hopes, also will help the development of young shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria.
"Rafi is not the kind of guy who just likes to sit in the corner," Redmond said. "He likes to talk. He's not afraid to say something when he needs to say something. That's great. I like those guys. He's going to help with the learning process with a lot of our guys."
Each day, Furcal is getting a crash course about second base from infield coach Perry Hill.
"For me, the infield is the infield," Furcal said. "The only problem at second base is on the double play."
Often on double plays, the second baseman has his back to the runner. So there is some shifty footwork required around the bag to get in position to make the turn as well as avoid serious collisions.
"When you play shortstop, you see what the runner is going to do," Furcal said. "But we have one of the best infield instructors here, and he is showing me a lot of little tricks over there. We're working hard each day."
Other responsibilities for Furcal at second are bunt and relay plays. Otherwise, ground balls are grounders. Fielding them isn't much different, but the throw to first is shorter.
"When you play shortstop for so long, you don't realize how much technique at second base you need," he said. "It's different than at shortstop, but I'm feeling more comfortable every day."
Foremost, Furcal is healthy. His arm is strong, and to keep it that way, he is getting periodic days off from throwing.
"I'm not the first guy who had Tommy John," Furcal said. "There are thousands of players who have had Tommy John, and they come back. They say they throw as hard as they throw before. Right now, I feel my arm is as strong as ever."

copper(redirected from American copper)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
copper(Cu) [kop´er]
a chemical element, atomic number 29, atomic weight 63.54. (See Appendix 6.) It is necessary for bone formation and for the formation of blood because it occurs in several oxidative enzymes including one involved in the transformation of inorganic iron into hemoglobin. There is little danger of deficiency in ordinary diets because of relatively abundant supply and minute daily requirements. Excessive copper in the body can be toxic, with vomiting, jaundice, hypotension, and sometimes coma; this may occur with excessive intake of medicinal copper salts or in metabolic conditions such as Menkes' syndrome or Wilson's disease.
copper 67 a radioisotope of copper, atomic mass 67, with a half-life of 2.58 days; used in radiotherapy as well as for imaging, tracer kinetic studies, and dosimetry.
cop·per (Cu),(kop'er),
A metallic element, atomic no. 29, atomic wt. 63.546; several of its salts are used in medicine. A bioelement found in a number of proteins.
[L. cuprum, orig. Cyprium, fr. Cyprus, where it was mined]
copper/cop·per/ (Cu) (kop´er) a chemical element, at. no. 29. It is an essential dietary trace element, a necessary component of several enzymes, but is toxic in excess.
copper sulfate cupric sulfate.
A ductile malleable metallic element with atomic number 29 that is a component of various enzymes, is used in its salt forms as an astringent, deodorant, and antifungal, and whose radioisotope is used in brain scans and for diagnosing Wilson disease.
copper (Cu)
Etymology: L, cuprum
a malleable, reddish-brown metallic element. Its atomic number is 29; its atomic mass is 63.55. Copper occurs in a pure state in nature and in many ores. It is a component of several important enzymes in the body and is essential to good health. Copper deficiency is rare because only 2 to 5 mg daily, easily obtained from a variety of foods, is sufficient for a proper balance. Copper accumulates in individuals with Wilson's disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, and, occasionally, chronic extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction. It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and a valuable component of numerous alloys, and it may be compounded with arsenic to form insecticides. See also ceruloplasmin, hepatolenticular degeneration.
A metallic element (atomic number 29; atomic weight 63.56) that is an essential trace mineral linked to key metabolic reactions, including in iron absorption and metabolism, and the formation of red blood cells and nerves; it is present in mollusks, organ meats, nuts, legumes and seeds.
Cuprum met, see there; Cuprum metallicum.
copperA metallic element–atomic number 29; atomic weight 63.56; it is an essential trace mineral, and required in certain metabolic reactions–eg, iron absorption and metabolism, and formation of RBCs, nerves
cop·per(Cu) (kop'ĕr)
1. A metallic element, atomic no. 29, atomic wt. 63.546; several of its salts are used in medicine.
2. A bioelement found in a number of proteins.
[L. cuprum, orig. Cyprium, fr. Cyprus, where it was mined]
n an element and essential mineral that may be useful in the treatment of osteoporosis. Excessive consumption of zinc, use of oral contraceptives, or the drug AZT can lead to copper deficiency, but otherwise deficiency is rare. There are no known precautions for copper sup-plementation at nutritional doses, but mega-doses may lead to nausea and vomiting.
A metallic element; several of its salts are used in medicine.
[L. cuprum, orig. Cyprium, fr. Cyprus, where it was mined]
a chemical element, atomic number 29, atomic weight 63.54, symbol Cu. See Table 6. It is necessary for bone formation and for the formation of blood because it occurs in several oxidative enzymes including one involved in the transformation of inorganic iron into hemoglobin.
copper acetoarsenite
an oldfashioned green pigment used in plaster, wallpaper, etc. A possible cause of chronic arsenic poisoning in very old houses. Called also Paris green.
copper-associated hepatopathy
see bedlington terrier copper-associated hepatopathy.
copper calcium edetate
used as a prophylactic in lambs and calves against swayback and hypocuprosis. Overdosing causes liver damage and severe subcutaneous edema and ascites.
copper-chrome-arsenate poisoning
the preservative in 'treated pine'. Nibbling the wood causes poisoning in confined animals.
copper-molybdenum-sulfate relationship
molybdenum combines with sulfur in the rumen to form Cu-Mo-S complexes (copper-thiomolybdates) which reduce the availability of copper in the ingesta.
copper naphthenate
a complex of copper and naphthenic acid, used as a fungicide and insecticide. A treatment for footrot in cattle and sheep, and for thrush in horses.
copper nutritional deficiency
in ruminants this causes anemia and demyelination in the central nervous system. The deficiency may be primary or secondary due to intervention of high dietary intakes of sulfate and molybdenum. In pigs incoordination and anemia have been recorded. Horses appear unaffected. Called also enzootic ataxia, swayback, coast disease, pine, peat scours, teart, falling disease, hypocuprosis, licking sickness, liksucht. Copper deficiency is rare in dogs and cats and is most likely to occur from excessive supplementation with calcium, which reduces absorption of many minerals, including copper.
copper oxide needles
short lengths given orally to cattle to prevent or control copper deficiency. They lodge in papillae of the rumen and over several months pass to the abomasum where acid digestion makes copper available. They are effective in the control of secondary copper deficiency associated with high molybdenum concentrations in the diet by avoiding the binding of copper in thiomolybdenates which occurs in the rumen.
copper poisoning
may be acute because of accidental administration of inorganic preparations of copper, usually as a worm drench. Chronic poisoning is usually due to grazing on pasture growing on soils naturally rich in copper. The prevalence may be increased by the presence of converter plants, especially subterranean clover, which have a high uptake of copper, or of plants which cause liver damage and the sudden discharge of large amounts of copper which have accumulated in the liver. Such plants are Heliotropium, Senecio and Echium spp. Copper compounds reported to have caused poisoning in animals include the subacetate, oxychloride, chloride, oxide, naphthenate, carbonate, arsenite, sulfate.
Acute poisoning is characterized by gastroenteritis; chronic poisoning is a syndrome of acute hemolytic anemia caused by a sudden elevation of blood copper levels. The obvious signs are jaundice, hemoglobinuria and pallor of mucosae. Poisoning by organic copper preparations administered therapeutically causes nephrosis and death due to uremia. Called also toxemic jaundice. See also bedlington terrier copper-associated hepatopathy.
copper storage disease
see bedlington terrier copper-associated hepatopathy.
copper sulfate
used as a parasiticide in aquariums and in the treatment of foot rot in cattle.
Patient discussion about copper
Q. where I can have copper in my diet? I am having arthritis and recently I heard that copper can reduce some pain, from where I can have copper in my diet?
A. Oysters and other shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes, and organ meats (kidneys, liver) are good sources of copper. Dark leafy greens, dried fruits such as prunes, cocoa, black pepper, and yeast are also sources of copper in the diet. be careful in large amounts, copper is poisonous.More discussions about copper

The idea behind this is just too clever if you ask me, and the build is right up there as well. A well deserved 1st place design. The collectable minifigures turned out to be an excellent source of inspiration and made the voting especially hard for everyone. Click here to view the rest of the top five entries.
Coming in a close second place is Igginz with the Godzilla Pod:
Another case of a great concept getting knocked out of the park. I sort of hoped that figure would get and entry like this, and this is way better than I imagined. Interesting to note that this received the most votes in the preliminary round.
Rounding out the top three is Volumex's Grey Alien based BluPhazem:
Of the top five finalists, this is the entry that felt the most like a "real" podracer I think, and it's a really nice design all around. It was one of my favorites and I'm happy to see it do so well.
Rockin its way into fourth place is Rook's DJ based Emsee Eezee:
A cool entry made even better by some black light aided photography. It's a shame those trans blue parts aren't UV reactive as well.
Finally, in fifth place, we have ZetoVince's Super Wrestler podracer:
As the first entry to the contest, just 10 days into the build phase, I was absolutely blown away when it was posted. I conferred with Ace and if our memory serves us right this it the only time the first submission to a contest made it into the final round. It deserved it though.
I want to say congratulations to everyone because the turn out for this was incredible. I hope to see a lot of these in person next month at LEGOLand's Star Wars Days event. Thanks for participating!
