Birth Certificates for Stillborns?
This explosive issue creates controversy among parents.
Lawmakers in New York are pushing for birth certificates to be issued when babies are stillborn. Presently, parents only receive a fetal death certificate in such cases. But for many families, a birth certificate is a symbolic way to recognize and validate that their child actually existed.
Opponents of this practice say that issuing birth certificates to stillborn sets a dangerous precedent that could later be used to violate abortion rights. If a stillborn baby gets a birth certificate, that signifies life. And that could mean that a growing fetus also has life, which could threaten Roe v. Wade.
What do you think: Should stillborn babies receive a birth certificate or not?

if the baby does not take a breath of air then this baby should not receive a birth certificate…….
My best friends' son was stillborn at 41 weeks. They didn't get a birth certificate, and to this very day, they are upset over that.
No, their son didn't take a breath of air. But he was still a person. He lived for 9 months in his mother's womb - he kicked her, had the hiccups, and did somersaults on her bladder.
I don't care if people believe that giving birth certificates for stillborns will be used to violate abortion rights. What about the rights of the parents, and of the siblings - what about their right to have a piece of paper that represents that YES their child was a real person. Since when do the rights of people wanting to kill their unborn babies become more valid than the rights of others?
If a birth certificate were issued, it would open up even more opportunity for fraud and identity theft. Yes, the person stolen from is dead, but this is a dangerous precedent as it gives thieves a larger pool of birth certificates to appropriate and use for false identities.
Just last month my sister-in-law went into her doctor's office at 10:00am the day AFTER Mother's Day. They told her that she would be induced that afternoon. Olivia's heartbeat was strong and throughout the whole pregnancy she was textbook healthly.
At 1:00pm when she arrived to the hospital, Olivia's heartbeat was gone. My sis in law still have to give birth and a little past midnight Olivia was born. She was a healthy 8 pound baby with lots of brown hair. Unfortunately the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. Some time in the 3 hours my sister in law waited, Olivia was strangled to death in her mother's womb. A little tiny beautiful girl who would have been 7 months apart from my son, who would have played together, gone to school together, and might possibly been best friend was 3 little hours away from coming into this world………..so close to being my niece.
Can you tell me that Olivia isnt a person, that our whole family didnt imagine the things and plan out our life with her over the past months in her mother's womb? She was alive to us.
She was issued a birth certificate, and a volunteer photographer came and took professional pictures of Olivia and her family. My sister in law spent the hours of midnight until 10:00am in the morning with Olivia.
Olivia was given a funeral and put in a small casket and buried underneath the hands of an angel statue in a new half of the cemetary designated for children.
The process created such good closure for our whole family.
Can you tell me that Olivia didnt exist for us?
Does Olivia not deserve the recognition of being a member of our family?
What is the value of Olivia since she never took a breath of air?
Can you tell my sister in law to her face that Olivia wasnt real because she never took that breath of air?
I've cried every time I think of my sister in law going home with empty arms and having to put every piece of clothing, the crib, the highchair, the toys, the blankets for Olivia away. This little girl existed for us, always will. Olivia deserves the recognition.Just 3 more hours and Olivia would have been a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a niece, a cousin, and a friend. Just 3 more hours…………….
I would never want to be insensitive to any parents who have gone through such a horrible tragedy, however, I just don't believe that government documents are meant to be (or should ever be) "symbolic." We have too many contradictory laws as it is, the last thing we need is another one. Issue a "certificate of live birth" (because that's what mine says), declares that a fetus is alive before leaving the womb, which while I personally believe, would certainly do serious harm to current abortion policies. I also fail to understand how a government document is required to validate a child's life. I didn't lose my child, but I know that I didn't need his birth certificate to know that he was alive, and to know that he was alive LONG BEFORE I gave birth.
I don't understand how this is a threat to abortion rights. Abortions after a certain point in fetal development are illegal, are they not? So fetuses stillborn after that point should be considered babies who have died, just as a fetus such as Laci Peterson's was.
I can't imagine what it's like to lose a baby at full-term. I lost one early in a pregnancy, and it devastated me for months afterward. My baby was alive to me, and all I had to remember him or her by was a used pregnancy test - not even a sonogram. So I can understand why some parents need validation of their baby's existence, however brief, in order to heal and move on.
No one is threatening to take away anyone's rights; let's not let fearmongering impede some families' ability to heal after tragic losses.
One thing I need to correct in my previous statement is that I wish Olivia was issued a birth certificate. She never received one.
If a baby lives for 20 minutes it gets the validation unlike my sister in laws case where Olivia doesn't receive it because of a technicality.
Do we know Olivia existed? Yes.
Would it help families if birth certificates were issued? Yes, but I think there should be a certain type issued saying "death upon arrival" or something. It wouldnt make sense to write "certificate of live birth". But, a certificate that states the existence of someone would be nice. Alive, or dead.
Why does it have to be mandatory? A mother should choose if she wants the certificate issued. I don't really understand how abortion rights will be affected, if its a choice. Is it the reason about making a baby real at any given time inside the womb? Like the previous poster, Conner was as real as you or me. Scott was responsible for his death. Last time I checked, that didn't even put a dent in abortion rights.
Dont taken away the rights of a grieving parent because you didnt feel that a piece of paper made someone real. Some parents need it.
I think it's ridiculous that abortion rights activists would dispute this. A baby is a baby is a baby — whether it has taken its first breath or not. If people want to abort their children that's one thing — but don't try to take away from someone else who is going through one of the most painful experiences imaginable.
In the State of Alabama - which incidentally was the first state in the Union to start issuing birth certificates - birth certificates were issued for all births (I worked for Vital Records and have seen those certificates. I believe the option still exists but cannot say so with certainty). The certificate noted whether the child was born alive or not.
Printing a form that says 'Certificate of Birth' instead of Certificate of Live Birth' is a simple administrative change. It's actually a better protection from identity theft because the death is noted on the certificate.
Give the grieving parents their child's birth certificate and quit the extremely cruel insistence that their child wasn't really a child. It's vicious and absurd.
Yeah, if it's not born living, I don't see why it gets a birth certificate.
"Yeah, if it's not born living, I don't see why it gets a birth certificate."
Because it was BORN, the mother gave BIRTH.
Due to a blood clotting condition (which I did not know I had until very recently) I delivered my first child at 34 weeks. I was at home and realized my very active child was not moving. I later found out that I had lost him. He was born 2 days later, after I was induced. We named him, held, had a funeral for him. I dare anyone to dispute that he was never living. I agree that a "certificate of LIVE birth" won't work, but something, a death certificate. I am now the mother of a 5 1/2 month old baby girl, she too was born at 34 weeks and spent 5 weeks in NICU. The were the same age when my first one died and my second one was delivered emergency C-section. To say my son never exsisted is cruel. I believe if you name a child and have a funeral, then they were living and that needs to be recognized. In an abortion, you don't have a funeral, usually not a name, you don't deliver your baby, you don't hold your baby, you don't go home and have to put all your baby stuff away. Unless you have been through it, you don't know what your talking about. I wanted my child and he should be recognized.
"Yeah, if it's not born living, I don't see why it gets a birth certificate."
How incredibly insensitive and ignorant. To many people, a child is considered "living" as soon as he is conceived. How dare you say that because the child wasn't born breathing, he wasn't alive?
violate abortion rights???? What about the rights of the mothers who loose the life of a child they wanted! I have never understood how people say a fetus is not a child because it has never taken a breath of air. It has a heart that beats just like yours and mine. What happens if that heart stops beating? the same thing that would happen to you if your heart stoped.
"Yeah, if it's not born living, I don't see why it gets a birth certificate."
You are incredibly selfish and insensitive! How about you go through labor knowing that your baby is dead and then we'll tell you your nine months of pregnancy and 20 hours of labor don't count because your child wasn't alive? That even though you knew your baby and had a funeral for your child that they were never really a person?
I don't understand the issuing of death certificates without birth certificates. Issuing a death certificate proves that the government considers the baby to have been alive, so why not issue a birth certificate too? If you have to take a breath of air to be considered alive and get a birth certificate, why does a stillborn get a death certificate if according to this crazy logic they were never alive? You can't be dead if you weren't alive!
This has confused me since my daughter's stillbirth. Why are they so quick to acknowledge her death, but refuse to acknowledge her life? How can they call her dead if they say she was never alive? I don't want a death certificate unless she gets a birth certificate too.
While I can sympathise with the grief parents must feel when an infant is born still, I disagree that issue of a birth certificate is appropriate.
As an adoptee, I am not "entitled" to have my birth certificate, only the one issued with legalized lies that claim my adopters are my parents. Where is my validation thru a piece of paper? My name was altered and the names of my family deleted, it's all wrapped up and sealed away like the state's most valuable top secret.
Twice as many states have legalized pot than the number that have open record access.
Are stillborns more worthy of a birth certificate than millions of adoptees?
Birth certificates create a legal status of personhood. The same legislators who support birth certificates for stillborns, deny birth certificate access to the already living—millions of adopted persons in the US today. Where's the outrage in that? Don't adoptees hold personhood?
In terms of Roe v. Wade, it's not whether there's a life that is the issue. That cannot and is not denied with or without a birth certificate. It's whether that life is a person in the legal sense.
With regard to birth certificates, adopted citizens in 44 states are denied unfettered, access to their own birth certificates, equal to the access granted to the non-adopted. No other group of citizens, not even those given up for adoption but not adopted, are denied this. Adopted citizens need to be treated equally under the law.
Well in some states they do issue a birth cirtificate to stillborn babys.I live in ohio and i had a beautiful baby girl at 21 weeks, she was my little angel and I did have a birth cirtificate from the hospital.I think parents of stillborn babys should get one it's only right.They think u shouldnt, but that baby was still born.Its not like it never happened.
To clarify some items, the "birth certificate" we are seeking is not a LIVE birth certificate. It is a separate document entitled "Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth". It will not increase fraude because it is not a live birth certificate.
As for those that don't think the government should be involved….too late. They are involved throughout our lives….birth certificates, SS cards…so why not a CBRS?
Less than 70yrs ago, states use to issue both a birth and death certificate for fetal death. Their reason for stopping this practice was for medical reasons. They wanted a separate fetal death certificate so they could track these deaths and uncover the reasons behind the high statistics.

Beater by Skycar from California on 05/05/2012. Trim: 2001 Toyota Corolla CE, Owned more than 10 years.
Pros: This is a great used commuter car for college students. Most of the cabin mechanics are manual on a 3 speed automatic CE so there is less worry on what could brake. The car takes abuse very well. As long as you maintain the car and put the money into it you should get the 32mpg highway and hope it lasts to 125,000mi. Excellent for parking towers with cramped spaces and tight turning radius U-turn streets. Car will get to you from A to B. Car can be driven at 80mph with stability. Braking capacity is decent but the braking distance is standard.
Cons: Never meant to be driven above 70mph. Not for long journeys. NO acceleration. Mediocre handling. Trunk door hinge hinders space. No creature comfort or rear leg room for new purc price. Check engine light has come on few times. Definitely oil burning engine every 1500 miles after 50K. Interior roof fabric collapsing, door trim interior and exterior peeling after 5 years. 60K as of mid 2012.
Overall review: It really depends on the condition and quality of workmanship you get with that particular unit. It turns out the unit I am using has numerous common problems and I have personally verified this is not unique. The dealer also admits the cosmetic damage over time could have been Toyota's fault but will not assist me in raising the claim to headquarters or fixing the problem at a lesser cost. The vehicle is good for an abuse driven commute so long as you can put oil in the engine, don't mind the appearance, and understand the reliability drops to zero right as the odometer rolls over 100,000. Overall, the quality is not there, the specifications are not there, and the reliability is questionable. This is a car. Not a Toyota.

Angst of revolution, charm of Arabian humour make for robust competition in Dubai International Film Festival's Muhr Shorts
Sat Nov 12,2011
Angst of revolution, charm of Arabian humour make for
robust competition in Dubai International Film Festival's Muhr Shorts
Filmmakers capture fleeting childhood, societal upheaval in candid, condensed tales
Dubai, UAE; November 12, 2011: The Dubai International Film Festival today announced the 15 best contemporary short films from across the Arab world that will screen to audiences and an international jury from December 7 to 14, during the eighth edition of DIFF. Shortlisted from hundreds of entries, the alternately serious and surreal films are as much a bellwether of contemporary society as they are markers of upcoming talent.
The 15 films make up this year's Muhr Arab Shorts competition, and include eight world premieres, two international premieres and two Middle East premieres. The top three winners will walk away with accolades and US$60,000 in prizes at the end of the Festival.
Three Egyptian short films are making their world premiere at DIFF 2011. Omar El Zohairy's Breathe Out (Zafir) is a silent drama of a man can only hear the muffled clamour from a crowded square or the deep breaths of a woman, when his window is closed.
Adham Elsherif's Resident of the City (Ahad Sokan Elmadeena) is a humorous take on the lives of the rich and lazy contrasted with that of the blue collar workers, and Ahmed Ghoneimy's Bahari is an experimental movie about a man wandering alone in the streets of Bahary, to collect materials for an art project. A meeting with a group of children brings out his elusive fears and desires.
Based on a true character, Egyptian filmmaker Aida Elkashef's A Tin Tale/Hadouta Men Sag, depicts the story of a young escort called Mona Farkha. The writer and director, who know little of her world, introduce Mona to audiences through a series of interviews.
Lebanese filmmaker Wajdi Elian's Place to Go, which makes its international premiere at DIFF, is the story of a solitary man who meets a strange street cat. Palestinian director Ziad Bakri's The Salt Fisherman narrates the tale of a distressed fisherman trapped in the monotony of his existence.
Masseur (Attaieb) by Tunisian filmmaker Anouar Lahouar is the story of Ounaïess, a masseur who has to scrub the dead bodies of two brothers, and subsequently finds it difficult to find peace at work, while Syrian director Ammar Al-Beik's The Sun's Incubator (Madinat Al Shams), emphasizes how demonstrations and revolutions stem from misery, using both Egypt and Syria as examples.
From Jordan, award-winning director Mohammed Hushki and Thouraya Hamda collaborate on Crossover, the story of eight-year-old Laith, whose one friend is a yellow chick he hides at the very top of a parking facility. Laith has recently started taking a short cut to school through a nearby cemetery, forcing him to think about existential issues like death, life and relationships.
The competition has also drawn entries from Arab filmmakers abroad. Chosen from France is Roy Arida's Lebanon-based Ba'adana, which narrates the story of Zeina and Toufic, who have been together for many years. Things take a turn when Zeina learns that Toufic is about to leave the country. The film makes its world premiere at DIFF 2011.
The two other entries from France share the common theme of migration: Farid Bentoumi's Burners (Brûleurs), which follows Malik, Lotfi, Mohammed, and Khalil, as they embark on a boat of fortune to cross the Mediterranean Sea; and Uda Benyamina's Road to Paradise, the story of a mother and two children who leave their native land in the hopes of finding a better life as refugees in France.
A German entry, Noş (Cheers to You) by Soleen Yusef depicts the story of Havi and Vina, two young Kurdish Germans, who try to find a balance between the two cultures; while the Belgium/Iraq production Land of the Heroes by Sahim Omar Kalifa, shows a day in the life of 10-year-old Dileer and his sister Zienee who collect used weapons and ammunition in an abandoned war zone, so that their mother can clean them and sell them to make ends meet.
From the United Kingdom, Osama Qashoo's Samir's Room is a gentle, warm-hearted story set in Jerusalem. Samir comes home from college to find Israeli settlers have occupied his family home – and all his past and his memories have been taken away.
Erfan Rashid, Director of Arab Programming, Dubai International Film Festival, said: "The films in the Muhr Arab Shorts category of DIFF 2011 reflect the changes in approach to filmmaking with more directors drawing on social realities using new techniques, genres and styles."
"While several films capture the pain and angst that have marked the tumultuous events in the Arab world, others are a celebration of the Arab sense of humour, and yet others explore the genres of adventure, fantasy and surrealism."
Award-winning German filmmaker Andreas Dresen, Palestine filmmaker, poet and Academy Award contender Annemarie Jacir and Malaysian director and author Amir Muhammad will evaluate the entries to select the best short films and directors. All films will screen to the public in distinct shorts programmes.
The eighth edition of DIFF will be held from Dec. 7 to 14, 2011, in association with Dubai Studio City. Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Pearl, Emirates Airline and Madinat Jumeirah, the home of the Dubai International Film Festival, are the principal sponsors of DIFF. The Festival is supported by the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority.
Accreditation for the Festival is now open. For more details, log on to www.dubaifilmfest.com. For more and updated information about DIFF, please visit www.dubaifilmfest.com or join DIFF on and

Hollywood cutie Mila Kunis recently added a few golden highlights to her dark tresses for a more summery style. Joico Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas shares the secret to giving this look to your clients in two different ways.
Option 1:
Using the balayage technique, part the hair to the natural part. In Mila's case, she has a center part. Using Joico's Vero Bleach with 40-volume developer, paint arrow-shaped tips to the ends of the hair, and lighten to a light golden blonde. Gloss the ends with Joico's Vero K-Pak Chrome Color in Beach Sand.
Option 2:
You can also get this look with foils by taking big horizontal sections and backcombing the section before applying bleach in an arrow shape to the ends of the hair in a foil. The backcombing will help diffuse and soften the highlight, keeping it looking natural and sun-kissed.

Comments about Dirty Cop Adult Women's Costume:
I love this costume…and so does my wife! My wife and I are going to a Halloween party where she is an a sexy "inmate" and I am this sexy "dirty cop". I am 5'11", 165 lbs and I bought the XL. The next size down would have fit, but being a guy, I have wide shoulders. I tried on several other costumes and none fit me nearly as well as this one did. Shows off my legs nicely without giving too much away…as some of the other costumes were much much shorter! I don't think I'm going to want to take this off after the party!
Comments about Dirty Cop Adult Women's Costume:
I got this for Halloween and I am a size 11-12 womens jeans, I got the M-Large size and it fit perfect. I am sort of medium sized in the middle but if you are chunky in the middle I think XL will give you more room. I am kinda of "army" sorry its where my fat goes..ha ha..but the material is strechy which was a plus! If I would have got the XL it would have fit more like a dress than a costume. I am posting this for people who are ordering "online" and don't know what size to get,(if your really unsure I suggest to find a "store" nearest you and try it on) hope this will help. But I do love it! It is a Great Costume and of good quality that I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good costume that don't look "cheaply made" Ok Happy Halloween to all..Good Luck!
Comments about Dirty Cop Adult Women's Costume:
I loved it, I wore it in Las Vegas for Halloween last year. Lots of people wanted to be arrested and doubt that happens often. It was fun and exciting. It fit great also but short but that's what I expected.
Comments about Dirty Cop Adult Women's Costume:
i bought a xs and it fit everywhere but it was way to short
Comments about Dirty Cop Adult Women's Costume:
I got so many compliments on this costume! I love it besides its also a lil flirty. I give this costume 5 stars and its easy to put on. Love the accessories it came along with.
Comments about Dirty Cop Adult Women's Costume:
This was a fun costume - there were a few issues: 1) it comes with gloves - instead of receiving one for each hand, I received two left handed gloves. 2) The hat was mis-formed due to what I can only imagine was the packing & shipping - so instead of sitting properly as it should, it was kind of off kilter. Neither one of those reasons was enough for me to go through the hassle of returning the costume for another one.

Comments about Dirty Cop Adult Women's Costume:
This costume is all around great! With all the accessories included it's a nice deal. I'm 5'7 and 115 lbs and a size small/med fit perfectly. It's not extremely short either, just the right length to be sexy.

22 U.S. Code § 4601 - Congressional declaration of findings and purposes
prev | next
(a) The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) a living institution embodying the heritage, ideals, and concerns of the American people for peace would be a significant response to the deep public need for the Nation to develop fully a range of effective options, in addition to armed capacity, that can leash international violence and manage international conflict;
(2) people throughout the world are fearful of nuclear war, are divided by war and threats of war, are experiencing social and cultural hostilities from rapid international change and real and perceived conflicts over interests, and are diverted from peace by the lack of problem-solving skills for dealing with such conflicts;
(3) many potentially destructive conflicts among nations and peoples have been resolved constructively and with cost efficiency at the international, national, and community levels through proper use of such techniques as negotiation, conciliation, mediation, and arbitration;
(4) there is a national need to examine the disciplines in the social, behavioral, and physical sciences and the arts and humanities with regard to the history, nature, elements, and future of peace processes, and to bring together and develop new and tested techniques to promote peaceful economic, political, social, and cultural relations in the world;
(5) existing institutions providing programs in international affairs, diplomacy, conflict resolution, and peace studies are essential to further development of techniques to promote peaceful resolution of international conflict, and the peacemaking activities of people in such institutions, government, private enterprise, and voluntary associations can be strengthened by a national institution devoted to international peace research, education and training, and information services;
(6) there is a need for Federal leadership to expand and support the existing international peace and conflict resolution efforts of the Nation and to develop new comprehensive peace education and training programs, basic and applied research projects, and programs providing peace information;
(7) the Commission on Proposals for the National Academy of Peace and Conflict Resolution, created by the Education Amendments of 1978, recommended establishing an academy as a highly desirable investment to further the Nation's interest in promoting international peace;
(8) an institute strengthening and symbolizing the fruitful relation between the world of learning and the world of public affairs, would be the most efficient and immediate means for the Nation to enlarge its capacity to promote the peaceful resolution of international conflicts; and
(b) It is the purpose of this chapter to establish an independent, nonprofit, national institute to serve the people and the Government through the widest possible range of education and training, basic and applied research opportunities, and peace information services on the means to promote international peace and the resolution of conflicts among the nations and peoples of the world without recourse to violence.

Riding high from selling more than 161,000 downloads of their new single, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)," Fall Out Boy has moved up the release date of their first album in five years, Save Rock and Roll . Instead of coming out May 7, it'll now be available on April 16.
"So when we got this all rolling we didn't expect it to be so crazy," said bassist Pete Wentz in a statement. "But we weren't kidding when we said we had the album done -- so why wait? It means the world to us the way you have welcomed us back."
In other FOB news, fans tuning in to TNT on Saturday night can catch the band performing "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" as part of the festivities surrounding the 62nd annual NBA All-Star Game in Houston, Texas.

Writers Beware
It's been a long, long time since I've written a post on writers beware in publishing. I think that after a certain amount of time I've made the incorrect assumption that my readers know this already. I forget that daily I'm reaching new people and that some of those who were here in the early days have moved on to other things.
Not too long ago I received an email from an author with an offer. She had a contract in hand from Tate Publishing and was seeking representation. Of course she was really excited. Tate was offering to publish her book for free and, for an additional $4,000, would supply a publicist. Ouch.
It took me two seconds to google "Tate Publishing Preditors and Editors" and find that this publisher was not recommended. I immediately notified the author, told her she should never pay to get published, and sent the link. She replied that payment was for the publicist only and optional. I'm doubtful, but I don't know for sure.
And then I read some of the manuscript. And my heart hurt. This manuscript was nowhere near ready for publication. It needed a lot of work, and I'm not saying the author won't get there someday, because let's face it, we've all written something that should never have been shown to a beta reader, let alone been published, but it's not ready now. And I worried. Will this author sign this contract simply because it's there, because all other avenues have been exhausted and because she figures it's time?
I don't know what the final outcome was. I never heard back from the author. What I do know is that there are those out there in all areas of our lives, preying on those who are desperate for a good word, positive feedback, and success.
If you've never been to Preditors and Editors or Writer Beware or the Writer Beware blog, please go now. Even if you think you know how to spot a someone trying to take advantage of you go. It's up to all of us to protect the writing community and each other, and the more information we arm ourselves with the more we can help others.
I hope this author shredded that contract and went back to honing her writing skills. I really do hope that.

YOU CAN'T DRINK ALL DAY IF YOU DON'T START IN THE MORNING.1 TB or Not TB: Perfect Attendance Nuts Don't Care
It doesn't win me any points with the other mommies, but I tend to loudly yell "Booooooo!" and make lots of exaggerated thumbs-down gestures whenever a kid skips up to the stage to receive a perfect attendance certificate at the end of the school year.
Sure, it's a little unorthodox—some might even say rude—but I don't think it's any ruder than risking everybody else's health just so you can get
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Celia Rivenbark's hilarious book You Can't Drink All Day If You Don't Start in the Morning.

Jason Barnes has been playing drums for years, but this Kennesaw State University concert feels like a new beginning. He says, "It's almost like playing my first show again, you know?"
That's because for the last two and a half years, Jason has struggled to come back from an accident, that nearly killed him.
In January of 2012, he was up on the roof of a McDonough restaurant, holding a pole to clean out a ventilation duct. That's when, he says, "Something spooked me, and I yelled, "Get down." I remember like a pink flash, and like a loud explosion sound."
Jason was electrocuted. He woke up two days later in a hospital bed, with facial burns and a badly-damaged right arm.
After six or seven surgeries, his arm was amputated just below the elbow. That's when it hit him. He says, " I can't play guitar anymore, I can't play piano anymore. Can't play drums anymore, which was most important, because I was playing in a band and everything."
But, he kept pushing. He was fitted for a prosthetic arm, then a special drumstick to play.
It was too stiff, so he tweaked it, and was able to audition for and get into The Atlanta Institute of Music and Media.
That's when his drum teacher - looking for a way to help Jason play better - found Gil Weinberg.
Weinberg is the director of Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. His passion: creating robotic musicians. He says Jason's teacher asked him, "Can you use some of this technology to help Jason?"
Weinberg got a grant from the National Science Foundation to build Jason a "better" arm.
He says the drumstick he had tweaked was good, "But, drummers use their wrist and fingers a lot for expression, the bounce the grip, he couldn't do that."
So, Weinberg created a device with two sticks. One Jason controls with his forearm muscles, using sensors. He says that gives Jason what he wanted: "Full, direct control with his muscle on one stick, so that he'll be able to play the way he used to."
The second stick was something totally new: a device with a mind of its own. This stick can sense what other musicians play, and then improvise, creating new music. Weinberg says, "Suddenly he feels the same little motif, or musical idea, that he heard from the trumpet, from his colleague, playing from his arm."
Saturday Jason played publicly for the first time, with his new artificial arm. Weinberg told the packed house at Kennesaw State University – this is just the beginning of the work his lab is trying to do. For Jason, it went well. He says, "I'm actually surprised at how well it works, stage one, first stage, first time, first prototype. "
And Jason Barnes can't wait to see - where the music takes him next.

New digital cameras should make the job of Rhode Island State Police a little easier.
Met–life insurance company donated the 130 Cameras on Monday, one for each uniformed member.
The State police say they'll be a useful tool to help prevent insurance fraud.
Steve O'Donnell says "When you stop a vehicle or there's a car accident, you can match that accident, the damage on scene. It's memorialized forever and when the claims come here there's no changing them."
The State Police can then download the pictures from the cameras into their computer system.

|Study of Brevibacterium aurantiacum, a cheese-ripening bacterium: From its sulfur metabolism to its interteraction with Kluyveromyces lactis
|English abstract
|The objective of this work was to study a cheese-ripening bacterium: Brevibacterium aurantiacum (BA). Molecular tools were developed to study the biodiversity of the genus Brevibacterium. The MLST approach with 9 housekeeping genes is a promising new tool for identifying Brevibacteriaceae. We have found a new species belonging to the strains of technological interest: B. antiquum. Using DNA microarray, the results show that 13% and 15% of the genome sequenced strain ATCC 9174 are absent and / or divergent in the strains ATCC 9175 and BL2. We then conducted a reconstruction of sulfur metabolism in B. aurantiacum ATCC 9175 and studied its regulation in the presence of different sulfur sources using omics techniques. The results showed that the sulfate assimilation pathways and the biosynthesis of cysteine were repressed in the presence of cystine and that the biosynthetic pathways of methionine via homocysteine together with the transulfuration pathway were down-regulated by methionine. Finally, when we add methionine in the medium, we observed a coordinated induction of genes encoding for a methionine gamma-lyase and a methionine transporter, suggesting the presence of a specific regulator for this pathway. Finally, we studied the behavior of BA in the presence or absence of the cheese-ripening yeast Kluyveromyces lactis by physiological, biochemical and transcriptomic approaches. In BA, we observed changes in the carbon and nitrogen metabolism and the biosynthesis of pigments when cultived in co-culture with K. lactis.

Fox News is suggesting a report by the Heartland Institute "debunked" a top climate change report while obscuring the background of the organization, which previously denied the science demonstrating the dangers of tobacco and secondhand smoke.
On Fox News' America's Newsroom and America's News Headquarters, Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast said that "We can't trust what appears in our most prestigious [scientific] journals anymore." Instead, Bast wants Fox News viewers to trust his organization's "Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change" (NIPCC), which puts out a report imitating -- and attempting to debunk -- the consensus report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which forecasts "severe and widespread impacts" from manmade global warming.
But how much trust should you put in the Heartland Institute? In 1998, Bast was claiming that "smoking in moderation has few, if any, adverse health effects," citing a few "experts." (Simultaneously, he was touting to a tobacco industry funder that "Heartland does many things that benefit Philip Morris' bottom line.") This was left out of Fox News' report. Today, his organization is claiming in the NIPCC that "few (if any) [species] likely will be driven even close to extinction" from climate change and "no net harm" overall will result, citing a few "experts." (The organization's current funders are largely unknown, often funneled through the right-wing's "dark money ATM," but it has received funding from ExxonMobil and Koch-connected foundations in the last decade.)
While IPCC's dozens of authors are unpaid, at least three of the NIPCC's four lead authors are paid by the Heartland Institute. One of the authors, Craig Idso, used to work for the coal company Peabody Energy and wrote a contracted study for the industry group The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. The IPCC reviews the current state of scientific knowledge, while the NIPCC's references in its Summary for Policymakers include publications that date back to 1904 and few references from this century other than non-peer-reviewed reports from itself and its authors. As climate scientist Donald Wuebbles noted at the end of the Fox News report, the NIPCC report is "full of misinformation" and "not peer-reviewed."
So far, Fox News has dedicated nearly as much time to the NIPCC (over 4 minutes) as it did to the actual IPCC report (over 5 minutes of disparaging coverage). When Fox News equated the first NIPCC report with the first IPCC report on the physical science basis of climate change, scientist Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research told Media Matters it was "irresponsible":
The NIPCC has no standing whatsoever. It is not a reviewed document, it is not open for review at any point and it contains demonstrable garbage and falsehoods. In contrast the IPCC process is rigorous, open and there are 2 major reviews. This is irresponsible journalism.
A Fox News report on efforts to ban employers from discriminating against the jobless is just the latest example of Fox figures attacking anti-discrimination efforts as being burdensome or creating a "protected class," or even defending the right of businesses to discriminate against customers based on race.
Are you seeing the same pattern I am? It's the one where right-wing partisans, desperate to portray union supporters as thugs, loudly denounce acts of alleged violence. But then days later when it turns out the acts of violence weren't really so violent, the same partisans are suddenly completely uninterested in the stories they promoted.
Today I already documented the case of the Andrew Breitbart blogger who flagged a weekend "assault" in which a Tea Party activist claimed he was hit with a bullhorn and choked by a union thug. But oops, video of the incident shows that did not happen. Now, the story is no longer of interest inside Breitbart World. (Move along people.)
Simultaneously, we have the case of Fox News and Mike Tobin. In recent days, members of the the Fox News team were beside themselves as they detailed the physical abuse Tobin had to endure while reporting on the protests in Madison, Wisconsin. Megyn Kelly in particular seemed broken up about Tobin's plight, referring to the "assault" he had endured. (Tobin didn't agree with that characterization.) Kelly even wondered on-air why the Obama White House hadn't weighed in on the Tobin matter; why hadn't the president stood up for the press?
But alas, there may be less to the story than Fox News and its hysterical defenders first thought. Recently released video that captured the incident in which Tobin claimed he was "punched" by a Wisconsin activist shows the "punch" may have been of the invisible variety. And with that revelation yesterday, the right-wing blogosphere suddenly fell silent when it came to the topic of media martyr Mike Tobin. (Who's he?)
And Fox News? Here's what happened when Media Matters' Joe Strupp tried to get in touch with Tobin, whom he had previously interviewed about the alleged altercation [emphasis added]:
After the video emerged, Media Matters once again contacted Tobin for comment. This time, he didn't respond.
Instead, a Fox spokesperson called Media Matters and said that Tobin would have no further comment on the matter.
Just 48 hours ago Fox News was sure its reporter had been assaulted by thugs in Wisconsin and very much wanted to talk up the story. Today? Not so much. Just like Breitbart's team is now trying to to distance itself from the bogus claim of a union assault.
Here's a tip for both of them: When you stick to the truth, you don't have to backpedal.
For the last two weeks, Fox News reporter Mike Tobin has been at the center of his network's coverage of the Wisconsin union demonstrations.
He is also at the center of a controversy over claims -- called into question yesterday after the release of new video -- that he was "assaulted" by protesters.
Tobin spoke with Media Matters at length on Monday about the experience, which has included demonstrators repeatedly chanting "Fox News Lies" and waving signs referencing the network's inaccurate reporting.
On Sunday, Tobin claimed during a live report that he had just been "hit" by one of the protesters.
Tobin wasn't onscreen at the time, and a Fox anchor later said that the network's cameras had been blocked by protesters during the alleged incident.
Nonetheless, the Fox Nation website immediately claimed that Tobin had been "assaulted by demonstrator during live shot."
Tobin disagreed.
"I was just hit in the arm a couple of times," he said on Fox Sunday night. "To call it assault or anything like that is a bit of an exaggeration."
On Twitter, Tobin said that he "declined to press charges over a couple little punches in the arm" because doing so would create a "distraction."
That didn't stop Fox. On Monday, Fox anchor Megyn Kelly asked Tobin about the "assault."
When Tobin disputed Kelly's characterization, she rephrased: "It is an unwanted touching. Actually, it's a battery, technically, under the law."
"Yeah, technically, but I got punched in the arm," Tobin responded. "It didn't even leave a bruise. So, I don't want to make too big a deal about it."
In an interview with Media Matters later Monday, Tobin sought to downplay the incident, which he continued to describe as a "punch."
"It was a punch. A punch is a punch, but it was just a punch in my arm. I grew up with three older brothers, it's not my first time being punched. I don't want to overdramatize it for the sake of TV or anything like that."
Then came the video.
It's like they're not even trying.
The excited attack that's going around is that when I appeared on Stephanie Miller's radio show yesterday I made fun of the fact that Fox News reporter Mike Tobin, who is covering the union showdown in Madison, Wisconsin, says he was punched by a local activist.
Andrew Breitbart's site lied and announced that I thought it was "funny to watch" Tobin get hit.
Actually, what I said on Miller's show was that "no one should be hitting any reporters or anything like that." And I tweeted the exact same thing last night. So there's no confusion about that point, only attempts by conservatives to concoct confusion. i.e. The same-old, same-old.
Here's what I did laugh about during the Miller show. It was the fact that Tobin and others at Fox News have expressed total shock that union activists in Wisconsin hold Fox News in contempt [emphasis added]:
BOEHLERT: Now this is, I was just looking at some clips of this and then later over at some point over the weekend he and this reporter and Geraldo had an on-air pity party and the reporter talked about how these protesters, hate free speech and hate diversity of viewpoint and you can see the hatred in their eyes.
You just have to laugh. I mean this coming from someone who works for a station that essentially concocts hate on an hourly basis. They're stunned when they go out into the real world when they venture beyond they're right wing bubble you know that people don't like them and they're going to express that with free speech. So yeah, it's been kind of funny to watch.
I still think it's funny that Tobin is amazed that he'd run into chanting demonstrators who push back against Fox News and its hourly misinformation.
I hope I'm not the one to break it to Tobin, but Fox News for the last several weeks has functioned, by and large, as an anti-union propaganda outlet. Period. It has been shoving as much one-sided, union-hating rhetoric on the air as possible. And yes, even during its "news" programming, Fox News has been deceiving viewers by inviting GOP officials on the air under the guise of presenting them as merely concerned Wisconsin citizens. And they're invited on the air to do what? To bash the unions.
Faced with covering union protests (prompted by the the Wisconsin governor's truly radical legislative agenda), Fox News has done everything in its power to portray union members as the cause of civil unrest. Fox News has been guilty of some of the most rancid kind of class warfare and reckless scapegoating imaginable. And yet its reporter in Wisconsin wonders why union supporters there give him an earful and mock the channel during live shots?
Why shouldn't members of the public exercise their First Amendment right and articulate their disdain for the kind of chronic misinformation that Fox News churns out? It seems to me that that kind of habitual malfeasance brings with it a downside: Members of the public exercising their First Amendment right and articulating their disdain for Fox News.
I mean, are Fox Newsers really suggesting that people aren't allowed to express their opinion on live television? That doesn't sound very American to me. (But again I'll reiterate: Any attempts to get hands-on with Fox News reporters should remain completely out of bounds.)
The truth is, if Tobin and his colleague want to throw him a pity party on-air and have Fox News promote him as some sort of right-wing martyr, that's their right. But they ought to stop pretending he works for an actual news organization, or that journalism is being targeted in Madison.
It's not. But Fox News is. There's a big difference.
Fox News has been forced to air footage of Wisconsin labor protesters shouting "Fox lies" and "tell the truth" during its live coverage of the labor protests.

FOOD ALLIANCE CERTIFIED The Food Alliance (FA) is a nonprofit certifier of sustainable foods. Its logo indicates that farmers, ranchers, food processors, packers and distributors work under safe and fair conditions; animals are treated humanely; and there is no use of hormones, nontherapeutic antibiotics or genetically modified organisms. Farms and ranches must use integrated pest management (an environmentally sensitive and commonsense approach to pest control) to conserve soil and water, and protect wildlife. Food processors must also reduce waste, avoid artificial ingredients, and ensure quality control and safe food handling.
ORGANIC USDA-regulated, this term means that the food is produced without the use of most conventional synthetic pesticides (there are a few exceptions) and no petroleum- or sewage-sludge-based fertilizers, genetic modification or ionizing radiation. Organic meat [32], poultry, eggs and dairy products [33] must come from animals fed 100 percent organic feed containing no animal byproducts, antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic beef is not fed animal byproducts, so it's less likely to carry mad cow disease. One loophole: While organic cattle and hogs have continuous outdoor access, organic chickens can still be confined inside. Certified organic labels may come from the USDA or an accredited agency such as Quality Assurance International (QAI), which certifies Clif Shot energy gels, among other foods.
DEMETER CERTIFIED BIODYNAMIC Farming biodynamically means viewing the farm as an ecosystem and contributing to natural resources instead of depleting them. Like organic products [34], certified (with the Demeter certification mark only) biodynamic foods are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetic modification and animal byproducts (which makes biodynamic beef less likely to carry mad cow disease, too). Biodynamic crops are grown with specific organic fertilizers in areas without strong electromagnetic fields (manmade frequencies that can interfere with the body's natural rhythms). Biodynamic farmers often go so far as to time the sun and moon phases to grow crops in soil that is as fertile as possible.
USDA PROCESS VERIFIED GRASS FED The USDA can now verify that grass-fed beef and lamb came from animals raised on a lifetime diet of 100 percent grasses and forage (except for milk consumed prior to weaning). Animals must have access to pasture during most of the growing season and cannot be fed grain products, which are fed to conventionally raised cattle and sheep even though these animals evolved to live on grass. Studies suggest that grass-fed beef may be healthier because it is lower in total fat, higher in beneficial omega3 fats and less likely to carry mad cow disease. "Grass-fed" does not exclude the use of antibiotics and hormones. Caution: Only the "USDA Process Verified" shield guarantees that animals were grass-fed. Without it, the term "grass-fed" is unreliable.
MARINE STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (MSC) SUSTAINABLE The MSC supports sustainable fisheries or management systems that "ensure that the catch of marine resources are at a level compatible with long-term sustainable yield, while maintaining the marine environment's biodiversity, productivity and ecological processes." Fish [35] is the number one protein food consumed worldwide. If you care about the health of our oceans, the MSC label ensures you're making a wise choice.

Another plant common in southern Texas is the agave, known as tequila or blue agave. Technically it is an "agave tequilana" although in Texas it may be better known as a blue agave since Mexico has claimed exclusive international rights to the word "tequila" and even stipulates which regions of the country the liquor may be made.
The plant grows at high altitudes in sandy soil (no wonder there are so many in Big Bend National Park) and has fleshy spiky leaves that can be up to 5 or 6 feet long.
That's enough literal description and images for me! Lets get to the art:
Please click on the images to view larger versions.
I am trying to find some more of these to photograph in my travels. Due to the long drought in Texas, half of the plants and cactuses in Big Bend were dead! It was still a beautiful place, but so dry even a cactus has a hard time growing. It was difficult to find any suitable candidates for photography. But I am keeping my eye out for more because I think there is good potential for some abstract images of the leaves and spikes.
One Tequila, two Tequila, three Tequila, floor. Or so that is how the shirt reads That first shot is impressive. I never knew the plants were that dang big.

Haha I was going to say the same thing Chris! :-p
And yes I agree with you on the fact that the first shot is impressive – quite a giant plant – or is it a small house? Hmmmm

Consider Ryan Cohlhepp unconvinced of the need for new taxes. The 36-year-old Westborough resident, who works in biotech in Cambridge, does not expect much improvement to come of the $1.9 billion new tax package the governor proposed this week, nor does he think it would be money well spent.
"To me, it's not clear yet how much of it's actually going to be incremental improvement, versus just digging out of the hole that we've already been sitting in," he said.

Paul Gauguin Cruises Ships
OnboardThe Tahiti-based m/s Paul Gauguin is a perfect fit with its tropical surroundings, with old photos of Tahiti and Polynesian artifacts on display. And like the islands it visits, the onboard atmosphere is laid-back -- while still maintaining high standards of luxury and passenger pampering -- and absolutely romantic.
Onboard, the crew-to-passenger ratio of 1 to 1.5 and one of the highest space to passenger ratios (58 to 1) of all ships catering to North Americans. The ship features all oceanview cabins, nearly 70 percent of which sport balconies; three restaurants, including the French-Polynesian L'Etoile and the indoor/outdoor La Veranda, which at night becomes a French Bistro featuring menus designed by Jean-Pierre Vigato, chef-proprietor of a Michelin-starred Parisian restaurant; and a watersports marina with windsurfers, kayaks, waterskiing equipment, snorkeling gear and scuba equipment.
Paul Gauguin is an all-inclusive offering, so gratuities, soft drinks, select wines and spirits are included in the fare.
In January 2012, Paul Gauguin went under the knife for a $7 million refurbishment. Shipwide renovations included new flooring and replaced carpeting, new furniture, new window treatments and decorative wall panels. Additionally, all cabins feature gained teak railings on the balconies and new bathroom flooring. The ship's restaurants, lounged promenade deck and casino were also remodeled.
Paul Gauguin Cruises' second ship, the similarly all-inclusive m/v Tere Moana, has two restaurants, a luxury spa, fitness center, onboard watersports marina, live entertainment nightly in the lounge, a boutique, presentations by an onboard naturalist and a staff of 54 serving 90 passengers.
Itinerary-wise, Tere Moana divides its time between the Caribbean and Central America (winter), and Europe (summer).
About Paul Gauguin CruisesPaul Gauguin Cruises is owned by Pacific Beachcomber, under the leadership of entrepreneur Richard Bailey, who serves as chairman and CEO of the cruise line. Bailey, an American, has been living in Tahiti since the mid-1980s. Pacific Beachcomber is a major player in hotels in French Polynesia. It purchased the InterContinental Resort Tahiti and InterContinental Resort and Spa Moorea in 1998, and InterContinental Le Moana Resort Bora Bora in 1999. The company opened its fourth hotel, InterContinental Resort and Thalasso Spa Bora Bora in 2006, and is working on a new eco-resort -- The Brando -- on the atoll of Tetiaroa, scheduled to open in 2014.
Paul Gauguin Cruises was actually created by its previous owner, Vantage Deluxe World Travel, in January 2009. Vantage created the new subsidiary cruise line when Regent Seven Seas, which had operated the ship for more than a decade, announced it would not renew its contract in 2010. Vantage tapped David Giersdorf to head up Paul Gauguin Cruises. Giersdorf, a veteran cruise line executive who was an executive vice president at Holland America and president with Ambassadors Cruise Group (which formerly owned Windstar), stayed on as president and CEO of Paul Gauguin Cruises during the transition before stepping down.
The m/s Paul Gauguin, which has been managed by Regent Seven Seas since its debut, has had numerous owners since its launch in 1997. The first to own it was the French firm Societe Services et Transport. Boston-based Grand Circle Travel and Vantage Deluxe World Travel (the owners of Grand Circle and Vantage are brothers) jointly acquired Paul Gauguin in 2004 but soon after Vantage Deluxe World Travel took sole ownership of the cruise ship. Pacific Beachcomber is the current owner.
The 90-passenger Tere Moana joined Paul Gauguin Cruises in December 2012. Built for French line Compagnie du Ponant in 1998 as Le Levant, the rebranded ship gained new decor, signage and furnishings, as well as updates to public areas and restaurants.
Paul Gauguin Cruises FleetPaul Gauguin Cruises currently consists of a fleet of one: the eponymous m/s Paul Gauguin. The 332-passenger, 19,200-ton ship was custom-built in 1997 for cruising the waters of the South Pacific and has been the longest continually operating year-round upscale ship in the region.
In December 2012, Paul Gauguin added a second ship -- the 330-foot-long, 90-passenger Tere Moana (formerly Compagnie du Ponant's Le Levant)-- to its fleet. It sails the Caribbean and Central America (winter), and Europe (summer).
Fellow PassengersThe line attracts an interesting mix of ages. Numerous honeymooners join well-traveled 40-somethings and senior citizens onboard.

FBI agents fired shots at a car on Near West Side earlier this week after the driver, who agents saw stealing hubcaps from a vehicle, tried to run an agent over with his car, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday.
The suspect, William Tapes, 52, whose last known address was in the 100 block of North Central Avenue in Chicago, surrendered to the FBI on Thursday and was charged in a criminal complaint filed Friday with one count of assault on a federal officer.
The shooting happened about 12:30 p.m. Monday in the parking lot of a Jewel-Osco in the 1200 block of South Ashland Avenue.
SEE: 2 critically wounded in FBI-involved shooting near UIC
According to the complaint, FBI Special agents saw a man, later identified as Tapes, kneeling near a vehicle's tires and suspected he was stealing the center of the chrome wheels on that vehicle.
Tapes then got into the driver's seat of a car with two other people inside, and the agents approached and identified themselves as "police" and "FBI," the complaint states.
The agents told Tapes to turn off the engine and get out of the car, but he put the vehicle in reverse and abruptly backed up. Agents continued to tell Tapes and the passengers to get out of the car, but none complied, and the vehicle suddenly lurched forward, and tried to drive around the FBI vehicle, according to the complaint.
Tapes then headed directly toward one of the agents, who had to jump out of the way to avoid being run over and fired his handgun into the car, the complaint states. But the car then left the parking lot at a high speed and was next seen by after it had been involved in an accident.
The woman in the car remained at the scene, but Tapes and the other man left. A witness reported the driver of the car crawled out of the driver's side window and left the scene on foot.
Paramedics took two people to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, according to Fire Media Affairs. No FBI agents were injured. Chicago Police said at least one of the wounded was a man shot in the hip.
According to investigators, friends and family of Tapes reached out to the FBI on Wednesday to arrange for his surrender. Tapes appeared Friday morning in U.S. District Court before Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cole, who ordered him held without bond pending his next court appearance at 10 a.m. on April 3.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

During the budget process the Legislature, famous for passing the buck—or the bill in this case—reviews mandates it has placed on local agencies. By law, Sacramento is required to fund any mandate it imposes on local agencies but when the state's coffers run dry the Legislature routinely suspends or repeals specific mandates and uses the money for something else. The state currently owes about $1.8 billion to local governments for state mandated programs.
This is not fair to local governments which are then are left with some tough choices. Do they suspend programs on which constituents have come to rely or just cobble together some dollars and run the program on a string?
