Peripheral neuropathy is caused by damage to certain nerves — mostly the sensory nerves — which deal with touch, pain, and heat. Most of the time, the problem starts in the fingers and toes and can worsen to include the feet, legs, and hands.
Causes of peripheral neuropathy include:
- Diabetes (the most common cause).
- Chemotherapy.
- Alcoholism.
- Vitamin deficiencies.
The most common symptoms are:
- Pain, burning or tingling of fingers, toes, hands and feet.
- Muscle weakness and balance problems.
- Loss of sensation to touch.
- Difficulty using fingers for tasks such as buttoning one's clothing.
Measures that may help relieve the symptoms of neuropathy:
- Acupuncture, massage, physical therapy and reflexology.
- Relaxation therapy.
- Prescribed medications such as pain medicine, lidocaine patches, capsaicin cream, and anti-depressant and anti-seizure medications.
- Vitamins and supplements such as vitamins B1, B6, B12 and alpha lipoic acid. Check with your doctor for proper doses and any other treatment options.
How to take care of yourself:
- Because neuropathy can cause poor balance, remove throw rugs and clear up any clutter.
- Put grab bars near shower, bathtub or toilet.
- Protect your hands and feet where sensation is decreased and be aware of very hot or cold temperatures.
- Don't drink alcohol.
- Check hands and feet for cuts, scrapes, burns or any other signs of injury.
If you think you are having any of the symptoms of neuropathy see your doctor for evaluation and suggested treatment.

Lie, Cheat & Steal. Or, Just Make One Decision
- Wednesday, July 14, 2010
And in most cases, these crimes started with a simple lie, proceeded to cheating/stealing, and ended in violence. The distance between these steps is often much shorter than we are willing to admit. And they could all be prevented if we would make the ONE decision of the kind of person we want to be.
"So don't lose your confidence. It will bring you a great reward." Hebrews 10:35
Today, I challenge you to make that ONE decision, the one choice of who you intend to be, of what you want your life to reflect. After that, you simply have to stay true to yourself and never take that first step away from your values—no lying allowed!
And as Austen so astutely put it, "Then, when you are presented with situations or temptations, you've already decided what to do."
One decision—that's not so hard, is it? Have confidence in your ability to make, respect, and adhere to, your one decision. After all, your entire life is defined by it.
"Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself." Robert F. Bennett

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Color IQ?
Color IQ is an advanced light emitting semiconductor technology developed by QD Vision, Inc. Integrating QD Vision's Color IQ optical component with our customers' display technologies, enables the display to achieve significantly wider color gamut, providing a far more natural and vivid viewing experience.
2. How does Color IQ
improve LCD TV color performance compared to conventional LCD
Conventional LCD TVs use white LEDs for the system backlight. These white LEDs have broadband light emission, and as a result the red, green and blue colors emitted are not fully saturated.
By comparison, Color IQ
emits very pure, very saturated, narrow bandwidth red, green and blue light that
is optimized for LCD TVs. As a result, the range of colors the TV can produce
increases by about 50% compared to conventional LCD TVs
3. What kind of products
will include Color IQ?
The first products with Color IQ will be large screen LCD TVs produced by Sony. In the future, Color IQ will appear in other LCD products such as computer monitors, and other types of displays.
4. Where can I buy products with Color IQ?
Sony will offer LCD TVs including Color IQ in select 2013 TV models with the Sony brand name Triluminos. Please check out their website at http://store.sony.com, keyword=triluminos.
As other products come to market with Color IQ, we will update this page!
5. Is Color IQ something that can be retrofitted to existing display systems?
Unfortunately no. Color IQ needs to be designed in by the display manufacturer.
6. Do I need to do any
maintenance on Color IQ?
No. Color IQ is a passive optical component that is designed to deliver great color performance over the useful life of the display.
7. Is Color IQ safe?
Color IQ is safe for workers, consumers, and the environment. QD Vision has applied the principles of Responsible Development, through various research projects, collaborations, and product design, so that Color IQ will not cause harm.
8. Do Color IQ components contain cadmium?
Yes, Color IQ contains an extremely small quantity of the element cadmium. The cadmium is securely fixed within a hardened resin and sealed within glass inside the body of the display (e.g. TV, monitor). Customers therefore do not have potential exposure to cadmium.
9. If I have an LCD TV or monitor product with Color IQ, how much cadmium is inside?
Color IQ components contains about a milligram (1/1000th of a gram) or less of cadmium. To put this in perspective, it means a typical consumer electronic device containing Color IQ will have less than one part per million (<1 ppm) cadmium.
10. What happens if my Color IQ TV breaks?
There are no special procedures to follow should a TV with Color IQ break. The TV manufacturer can provide you with disposal and repair information. Color IQ contains only solid state materials, and hence there is no risk of material leakage, such as in liquid or gas state, from Color IQ.
11. When it is time to dispose of my Color IQ TV, and are special waste handling procedures required?
There are no special waste handling procedures required of which we are aware in the locations in which Color IQ is being distributed. In many areas around the world, recycling of the TV sets may be available. Please see our customers' CSR websites for more information on recycling.
12. What is Color IQ made of and why is there cadmium in it?
Color IQ is made of a material called quantum dots, which provide the red and green light that you see when you look at a Color IQ display. Quantum dots are a solid-state semiconductor material (like Silicon, or LEDs) with unique light emitting properties that provide the excellent color purity that you enjoy with Color IQ. Quantum dots contain cadmium because the cadmium-based semiconductors are the only known materials that can achieve the energy efficiency, quality, and reliability specifications required to meet consumer electronic performance standards.
13. Is Color IQ harmful to human health and/or the environment?
Color IQ is safe for workers, consumers, and the environment. QD Vision has applied the principals of Responsible Development, through various research projects, collaborations, and product design, so that Color IQ will not cause harm.
The cadmium contained in Color IQ is extremely small in quantity, and is securely fixed within a hardened resin and sealed within glass inside the body of the display (e.g. TV or monitor). The cadmium is thus triply bound within the product, confined in the solid state, and there is no risk of material leakage, such as in a liquid or gaseous state, from Color IQ.
We have also studied the end-of-life fate of the Color IQ material. These studies, published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal, clearly show that the material is extremely unlikely to cause any environmental harm, even in the worst-case analysis.
14. What is cadmium?
Cadmium is a relatively abundant, naturally occurring element that is used in certain batteries, solar cells, pigments, and corrosion resistant coatings. In application to displays such as TVs and monitors, it replaces phosphors based upon rare-earth metals which are considered critical, limited resources by several governments including the US and EU.

Fitwatch.org.uk taken offline by police
15/11/2010 | Posted in: Interesting webpages, Media and News
FITwatch, a thorn in the side of the Metropolitan Police's intrusive political policing and data harvesting operation is offline at the moment. This is reportedly because of an accusation of "perverting the course of justice" — a bit much coming from the killers of Ian Tomlinson.
Officer Will Hodgeson objected to this article advising students on ways they might want to respond to police attention after last week's exuberant attack on Tory HQ.
The remarkable and brilliant student action at Millbank has produced some predictable frothing at the mouth from the establishment and right wing press. Cameron has called for the 'full weight of the law' to fall on those who had caused tens of thousands of pounds of damage to the expensive decor at Tory party HQ. Responsibility is being placed on 'a violent faction', after the march was 'infiltrated' by anarchists.
There are an encouraging number of intiatives to show solidarity with the arrested students – something that is vital if they are to avoid the sort of punitive 'deterrent' sentences handed out to the Gaza demonstrators. A legal support group has been established and the National Campaign against Cuts and Fees has started a support campaign. Goldsmiths lecturers union has publicly commended the students for a 'magnificent demonstration' .
This is all much needed, as the establishment is clearly on the march with this one. The Torygraph has published an irresponsible and frenzied 'shop-a-student' piece and the Met are clearly under pressure to produce 'results' after what they have admitted was a policing 'embarrassment'.
51 people have been arrested so far, and the police have claimed they took the details of a further 250 people in the kettle using powers under the Police Reform Act. There may be more arrests to come.
Students who are worried should consider taking the following actions:
If you have been arrested, or had your details taken – contact the legal support campaign. As a group you can support each other, and mount a coherent campaign.
If you fear you may be arrested as a result of identification by CCTV, FIT or press photography;
DONT panic. Press photos are not necessarily conclusive evidence, and just because the police have a photo of you doesn't mean they know who you are.
DONT hand yourself in. The police often use the psychological pressure of knowing they have your picture to persuade you to 'come forward'. Unless you have a very pressing reason to do otherwise, let them come and find you, if they know who you are.
DO get rid of your clothes. There is no chance of suggesting the bloke in the video is not you if the clothes he is wearing have been found in your wardrobe. Get rid of ALL clothes you were wearing at the demo, including YOUR SHOES, your bag, and any distinctive jewellery you were wearing at the time. Yes, this is difficult, especially if it is your only warm coat or decent pair of boots. But it will be harder still if finding these clothes in your flat gets you convicted of violent disorder.
DONT assume that because you can identify yourself in a video, a judge will be able to as well. 'That isn't me' has got many a person off before now.
DO keep away from other demos for a while. The police will be on the look-out at other demos, especially student ones, for people they have put on their 'wanted' list. Keep a low profile.
DO think about changing your appearance. Perhaps now is a good time for a make-over. Get a haircut and colour, grow a beard, wear glasses. It isn't a guarantee, but may help throw them off the scent.
DO keep your house clean. Get rid of spray cans, demo related stuff, and dodgy texts / photos on your phone. Don't make life easy for them by having drugs, weapons or anything illegal in the house.
DO get the name and number of a good lawyer you can call if things go badly. The support group has the names of recommended lawyers on their site. Take a bit of time to read up on your rights in custody, especially the benefits of not commenting in interview.
DO be careful who you speak about this to. Admit your involvement in criminal damage / disorder ONLY to people you really trust.
DO try and control the nerves and panic. Waiting for a knock on the door is stressful in the extreme, but you need to find a way to get on with business as normal.
Otherwise you'll be serving the sentence before you are even arrested.

It was the sip heard around the World apparently: Marco Rubio's water break during his Republican response to the President's State of the Union address that left some viewers feeling a bit awkward.
"I think the biggest takeaway I got from Marco Rubio's speech last night is that he wanted more water - not more government," said University of South Florida Brandon Schuster as he laughed. "It was the hilariously awkward water grab."
Political analyst Susan MacManus says there was a lot riding on Rubio's speech. He's at the top of the list in public opinions polls of Republicans who could potentially run for President in 2016.
"This story spread like wildfire," she said after taking journalists calls from around the World Tuesday about the water break. "The expectations for Rubio's presentation were so high and a stumble like this certainly makes big news."
THE "ROMNEY" FACTORRubio later sent out a photo of the Poland Spring water bottle, obviously poking fun at himself and the awkward moment. MacManus believes it was a smart move.
"Moments like this are either make or break times for a candidate," she said. "It is absolutely important if you've done something that looks ridiculous that you laugh. That humanizes you and that may very well be Marco Rubio's salvation from this incident."
USF student Katie Blair agrees.
"I think Marco Rubio really saved himself by poking fun at himself and it really humanized him - which is going to be really important in this next campaign," she said. "Romney really came from wealth and I feel like a lot of people couldn't relate to him."
WHAT WE CAN ALL LEARNBlake Paxton is a second year doctoral student in the Department of Communications at USF. He teaches interpersonal communication and public speaking.
"We say so many things without even opening our mouths," Paxton said. "You might be saying ... the right thing but if your body is communicating something differently or your audience is able to see some of anxiety in you ... that could totally go against what you're trying to get across."
The senator wiped sweat from his face several times. Paxton said Rubio had a lot of anxiety and it showed.
"It's a natural part of giving presentations. It doesn't matter if you are the most skilled orator ever and you've done thousands of speeches...or it's your first time. There's always going to be some kind of anxiety," he said. "You'll never be able to completely control anxiety but there are ways to manage it."
He said there a physical things you can do before a big speech: Take time to relax and take deep breaths, go for a walk or listen to relaxing music.
AVOID CAFFEINE AND PAUSE"Don't drink a lot of caffeine or sugar products," Paxton said. "People think that's something silly but caffeine can hype you up and make you jittery. If you're already anxious about the situation and now you've got coffee in you or soda...that's going to make you even more anxious."
It wasn't Rubio's only address of the night. He also recorded his remarks in Spanish.
"Pausing's okay...although I've never had a student who needed to take a drink of water during a speech," Paxton said. "It was more about how he did it. It was very rushed and you could tell he was shaking. He was trying to get it really fast and put it down."
Paxton said there are things we can all learn from this: "knowing your habits and you can better manage them."
"There are people who are scholars in the field that will come up with these big theoretical texts and really when it comes down to it - it's like practice, rehearse...get comfortable in front of an audience," he said.
He suggests presenters read scripts or speeches aloud three times before they give them. At that point, you'll know your weaknesses like dry mouth.
"Maybe that means I drink a whole thing of water before I speak," he said.

Rock On! Soccer Tournament
The eighth annual Rock On! 3-on-3 Soccer Tournament — which traditionally fields up to 100 teams — takes place Memorial Day weekend at the Fort Nugent fields.
Three-on-three soccer consists of two 12-minute halves with no stoppages of play (subs on the fly). The playing field is 30 yards wide by 40 yards long with a no-play zone in front of the goal instead of a goalie.
The tournament is open to age divisions U8 through U18. Any group of kids may be combined into a team; players do not have to come from the same seasonal team, club or organization. Teams play to the oldest player's age group; co-ed teams play in the boys division.
For their $125 registration fee, teams are guaranteed three games, tournament shirts and goodie bags. Registration deadline is May 18.

Get your head out of the clouds! It wasn't that long ago that "being in a cloud" meant daydreaming or being unrealistic. Now, "the cloud" is where much of our information and intelligence is stored either by us or the companies we use.
The convenience of "the cloud" can quickly turn into a nuisance and even a nightmare for your survivors when you die. Digital assets are new enough that the majority of states have yet to adopt laws regarding their inheritance. It behooves you to start planning how you would like your digital assets handled upon your death or incapacity.
You may want your spouse to get the house, and your children your IRAs, but have you thought about your Twitter account, website domain name or personal blog? If not, than you are not alone. I would venture a guess that few of us have listed our digital assets in our wills or trusts, yet it is becoming an increasingly important area of consideration.
Here are a few tips to help you start planning the inheritance of your digital assets:
Also, keep in mind that many of your online accounts may technically terminate at your death, per the "terms of service" agreement you agreed to in order to get access to the site or account.
So, if you want to keep your "head in the cloud," that is alright. But do create a plan to get your assets out of the cloud when you die. And, as with all estate planning, you should consult an estate planning attorney to discuss your specific situation.

We hear a lot about women piling on kilograms after giving birth, but a study suggests that it is new dads who routinely gain weight and lots of it.
We talk to the experts from the world of fitness and nutrition to see how you can avoid this particular parent trap.
The squealing and the screaming, the tears and the tantrums. The everyday sounds emanating from a newborn child? Perhaps, but they'll be drowned out by your hysterics (not to mention your wife's) when you see the state of your gut 12 months after becoming a father.
According to recent research, blokes put on an average of nine kilograms after having a child. Lack of time to exercise, increased consumption of takeaway meals and sleepless nights are top of the list of pressures that lead 'modern dad' to pile on the pounds.
The study suggests that 40 per cent of new fathers are unable to pull their weight in the family home because they are so wiped out. Paul Keenan, of Benenden Healthcare, which carried out the research, said: "The modern dad's health is suffering under the strain from diverging pressures such as work and family life. As a result, dads are taking shortcuts with their diets, leading to increased weight, more sedentary lifestyles and eventually running the risk of health scares."
Significantly, the study also found that while the natural time constraints of parenthood lead to this weight gain, few men shed the excess blubbage when things settle down again.
It's time to reverse this trend.
Preparation is key
When Junior comes along, the shock to your lifestyle is going to be cataclysmic, so you need to start preparing months before those waters break. Between getting things ready for the baby and looking after your partner, adapting to your new way of life before the trip to the hospital is vital.
Personal trainer Gavin Walsh speaks from experience. He says: "Time is a major issue leading up to the birth and even more so after the baby arrives. I know I've been there. Your regular workouts will go out the window the closer you get to the birth date, but you don't want to just give up on your fitness. Instead, use your home and cram in as much as you can into a 20 to 30-minute workout.
"This might mean exercises at 9:30 in the evening or at other random times, but you must commit to this. The more intense your workout, the better, so think in terms of circuits and use exercises that work several muscle groups in one go. The bonus of keeping your workouts short and performing them at home is that your partner can't complain about you being away from home for too long either."
Trainer Jacob Nadav agrees, stressing the need to stick to the basics. "Get a pull-up bar on a door frame, and do pull-ups, push-ups and other simple exercises," he says. "You don't need a gym to stay in shape. If you don't have any weights, you can either use bottles of water or maybe a rucksack filled with books. Just not the baby when it comes along."
Coping with exhaustion
Once baby comes wailing into your lives, fatigue will begin to play a huge role and can spell disaster for your motivation to exercise. But there are steps you can take to boost energy levels and, ultimately, stay in shape.
The first step, says Walsh, is learning to embrace it. "Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet for this. Until your baby sleeps through, which can take up to 12 months, you're going to be very tired. Accept it," he says.
Nutrition consultant Claire Harper says that lack of sleep is the primary cause of poor food choices, so it's essential that you pledge to eat well and stick to it. "There are studies that directly link sleep depravation with obesity," she says. "The body needs at least five hours of uninterrupted sleep to perform its rest and regeneration duties, but new parents are very unlikely to get this.
"Tiredness causes us to look for quick energy fixes such as sugary drinks and snacks, refined carbohydrates, caffeine and nicotine. These unfortunately disrupt our blood sugar balance, leading to a speedy drop in energy shortly after the 'rush', which makes us feel hungry and irritable. So we reach for the next sugar hit, only making things worse. This triggers the release of the hormone insulin, whose job it is to remove sugar from the blood and deposit it into a handy storage facility: fat cells!"
How to eat appropriately
But with new dads so short on time (and usually back at work after just two weeks), eating has to be practical. Harper says: "The diet of new parents should include plenty of protein, essential fats, B vitamins, zinc, magnesium and iron. It's not helpful for a nutritionist to suggest a lot of complicated nutritious dishes, as most new parents will be trying to cook with one hand, so I suggest dads think about what's easy. Stock up on foil steam pouches of fish, cook ahead a batch of casserole, while pre-prepared rye sandwiches with ham, egg, prawns, tuna, are a good snack. I also recommend oat muesli with berries, nuts and seeds and dried apricots.
"I'd advise men to keep a handle on sugar cravings, because when things get back to normal, they don't want to be stuck with a sugar and junk addiction. Replacing unhealthy snacks with healthy ones will help dads feel generally more energised, which will help them through this tricky time."
The perfect training partner
Don't forget, this isn't just about you. Your better half will bear the brunt of this journey, so it's important that you take steps that prevent both of you from sacrificing your health at the altar of dirty nappies and sleepless nights. Walsh says: "It may take a few weeks until your partner feels like doing any exercise, though she will no doubt be as keen as you to keep the baby weight at bay. Clean up both your diets and you'll be doing both of you a favour.
"During the first few weeks she will hardly be up for a 10k in the park, so your best bet is getting out for short walks with your baby. Once your partner starts to recover then swimming is a great exercise which you can do together. As soon as your baby is big enough, look for activities that have a creche, allowing you to enjoy some quality, active time with each other."
Adapting your lifestyle to cope with parenthood with help you form healthy habits that will last forever and, most importantly, make the little brat proud of their old man.

Sing along. And wait for October.
Is it time for a GIF set from one of my favorite movies? Yes, yes it is.
I'm the ghost with the most, babe.
So I just woke up from what for me is a terrifying nightmare. In it I find that I've been so busy I've lost track of time and don't even know what day it is. I look up at the calender and find that it's actually Halloween! I'd managed to waste my favorite month. I hadn't decorated for Halloween, hadn't eaten anything pumpkin flavored, hadn't watched a Halloween movie, hadn't carved a jack-o-lantern, hadn't made a costume. NOTHING. So there I am, on Halloween night, sobbing my heart out because I'd just wasted an entire year waiting for Halloween and then managed to forget about it. The bright side is I doubt that could ever happen! But it does call for something I think. I'm thinking, oh I don't know, Halloween in June? You know, like Christmas in July. But Halloween. In June. We could make it some kind of big deal event and spread it on Facebook and Tumblr. Maybe have contests and stuff. Maybe get some blogs and companies to sponsor it for prizes? Just throwing it out there. Feedback welcome.
The ghost with the most.
How, HOW had I never seen this before? Via hulyen:

Anyone else wish this actually existed?
Its like an evolution 0.o

Except for fucking Batman.
May I note, hes been doing it BACKWARDS?

Reblogging this because of something related that happened on Halloween. A little kid was looking at the part of my yard display that had Jack, Zero and Zero's doghouse and he said to his dad, "Look! It's Sparky!" His dad answered, chuckling, "No, that's Zero, not Sparky." Then I said over my shoulder (they didn't know I was listening), "It's cool, technically I think they're related." :)

February 22 - Caesar Creek Trail Stage Race #1: Frosty 14
- Details
- Hits: 9437
Trail Series Race: Everyone is welcome to run. Races are stand alone events. (Trail Series Info)
Many moons ago this race was single loop course around the lake. In 2005, a swinging bridge was condemned forcing the out and back course that has been used for the last 7 years. Last year, we returned to the single ~14 mile loop course that uses the well marked yellow trail.
Starting at the visitor center, we travel across the dam first (.7 miles road with large gravel shoulder) to the spillway single track. A short climb into the gorge trail, to the creek crossing (you probably will get wet). You will run through a small village, run on an abandoned road, some nice old growth, and some ugly new growth. At mile 5.5 or so, you will hit SR73 for a 1 mile road run to the 6.5 mile section to the finish... which is 96.49343% single track and rolling. Due to the season, weather can be a factor making the Frosty a real challenge.
- The 2007 course was COLD and 4 inches of crusty snow made for sore and floppy ankles!
- 2008 was chilly and muddy
- 2009 was cold and fast
- 2010 was cold with 1" of snow
- 2011 32f good conditions overall
- 2012 26f, overcast and windy with moist trails
Address of Visitor Center: 3980 Clarksville Rd, Waynesville, Warren, Ohio 45068
Trail Scale: 9 out of 10
Best known time: 1:34:49 (David Riddle-2011, out and back course)
WHEN: Saturday February 22, 2014. The race starts at 9am.
PARKING: Caesar Creek State Park Visitor Center, 3980 Clarksville Rd, Waynesville, Warren, Ohio 45068

Familiar though it may be, as samurai movies go, 13 Assassins" is a killer. Full Review

Mississippi Lawmakers Honor Namesake Submarine
JACKSON, Miss. The Mississippi State legislature commended the crew of submarine Mississippi (SSN 782) on March 24 "for its commitment to naval and maritime service in observance and commemoration of Mississippi Navy Week 2011."
"The uniform outpouring of support we have enjoyed throughout the state has been wonderful and unlike anything I've ever experienced in my 20 year Naval career," McGrath told lawmakers.
McGrath and several crew members are in the Magnolia State for Mississippi Navy Week 2011, which runs March 19 - 27. Navy Weeks are designed to showcase the investment Americans have made in their Navy as global force for good and increase awareness in cities that do not have a significant Navy presence.
The 2011 Navy Week season will also help commemorate the Centennial of Naval Aviation and continues as a year-long celebration with a variety of commemorative events planned across the country throughout the year.
Mississippi Navy Week events include Navy Band musical performances, visits to area schools and community service projects. Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus, a former governor of Mississippi, also participated.
"I think Navy outreach is crucial. We're the away team. When we're doing our job, Sailors and Marines tend to be away from home. I think it is really important that people really understand the great job that they do, how skilled they are, and how hard a lot of these missions are," said Mabus.
Crew members of Mississippi have traveled throughout their namesake state reaching out to the community. They were involved in events along the Gulf Coast and in Hattiesburg, Jackson and Meridian. Some of the highlights were visits to hospitals, veterans homes, schools and the Boys and Girls Club. Crew members have enjoyed every moment.
"It's been absolutely wonderful. The people of Mississippi have really opened their arms to us and given us great hospitality and just a great time," said Chief Electronics Technician Tom Driscoll.
"I actually love it. The hospitality really stood out. I'm from Jacksonville, Fla., and we have hospitality there. But here, they've treated us like we're family. I really do like it," said Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Darrius Jenkins.
"It's been terrific. We had a chance to come down and get involved in the community, meet some of the locals and spread the word that we have a new ship being built that bears the state's name," said Yeoman 2nd Class Joseph Earomirski.
Mississippi, the ninth ship of the Virginia-class and the fifth Navy vessel to be named for the people of the Magnolia State, is about 80 percent complete. Currently, there are about 100 crew members. When fully staffed, the crew will consist of 120 members. Delivery to the Navy and commissioning are anticipated by the summer of 2012.
Upon completion and commissioning, Mississippi will join the other Virginia-class subs as flexible, multi-mission platforms designed to carry out the seven core competencies of the Submarine Force: anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface warfare; special operations forces; strike; irregular warfare; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; and mine warfare.
The submarine's sponsor is Allison Stiller, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) Ship Programs.

Our photographer Paul Heaps has just been out to a protest taking place just outside Royal Liverpool.
Members of Wirral TUC are displaying placards calling for Wirral West MP Esther McVey to be sacked. They're set up just outside the entrance to the course on Meols Drive.
Photos and videos are on their way.
Specially trained volunteers have been extending a special Wirral welcome to the thousands of people from across the globe that have arrived in Hoylake for the Open.
One of the tasks given to volunteers, or amassadors as they are known, is to direct people arriving in the town and provide information for those in need.
Although many people have travelled from across the country to take part, three of those helping visitors are from Wirral itself.
Jack Skilling, 17, Keith Mills, 62 and Adam Pulham, 16.
Bromborough teenager Jack Skilling heard about the programme while studying at St Anselm's College.
The 17-year-old, who has been helping people from the likes of America, Japan, Spain, Germany and Australia, said: "School offered a volunteering scheme and I thought I'd like to help out and get involved to showcase everything that Wirral has to offer.
"We've been directing people, helping people and showing them where to go."
Jack is joined by 16-year-old Adam Pulham, from Spital, who has just finished his GCSEs at South Wirral High School.
He said: "I've really enjoyed it and it's something I'd definitely do again the future."
Keith Mills, agaes 62 and from Heswall, said he found out about the programme via Wirral Council's website.
"I thought I would give it a go and give something back to the community," he said.
This group of kindhearted volunteers are collecting for Clatterbridge and are attracting hefty donations from people disembarking the train at Hoylake station.
Although they're unsure on how much they have raised so far, Sue Green says their buckets are exceptionally heavy.
They've been stationed in Hoylake since 9.45am.
Matthew Bentley from Liverpool, Josiah Neath from Sheffield, Todd McKinley from Ohio and Sue Green from Wirral.
Sue, who travels all over the world in aid of Clatterbridge and will be fundraising in Madagascar in October, said: "Some of my friends have been going by and putting £5 notes in - Clatterbridge come to collect it and open it so we'll know what we've raised at the end of the week."
The boys are part of the Ninety Plus Ministries programme, currently based at Hoylake Chapel.
One of the group, 22-year-old Todd McKinley has come all the way from Ohio to volunteer during the Open.
He said: "Our pastor does all sorts of things for Clatterbridge and we asked if we could help."
Meet adorable Marco Griffiths, aged four, who is selling cold drinks with his two-year-old sister Lola outside their home on Meols Drive. Whatever they earn will go towards their pocket money. How cute!

Bit of bunker practice there for Merseysider Tommy Fleetwood.
A hell of a lot of people here at Royal Liverpool now on what is shaping up to be a pretty good day weather wise. Fingers crossed the thunderstorms hold off.
The bars and food areas around the course are filling up already...

Attendance for the first competitive day of the Open yesterday was 35,382. Less than in 2006 - which saw 38,500 - but stil a lot of people.
English, Casey and Every walk by crowd-filled grandstands on Thursday.
Open Championship leader Rory McIlroy will take to the Royal Liverpool links later looking to avoid the dreaded second-round syndrome which has dogged him all year.
The Northern Irishman produced some blistering iron play in shooting a six-under-par 66 to lead the 143rd Open by one stroke from Italian Matteo Manassero.
However, the two-time major winner knows he will have to combat a trend which has seen him regularly shoot over par in his second round.
McIlroy benefited from benign morning conditions on Thursday but tees off at 2.27pm today in what is expected to be changeable weather.
Rory McIlroy hopes to shake the "Freaky Friday" tradition today. Picture by Paul Heaps.
Speaking to the media yesterday, he said: "When you go back out on Friday after a good score you know what you can do, so you're going out with some expectations compared to Thursday.
"I think I've just got to approach it trying to hit solid shots the first few holes and play my way into the round, just like I did (on Thursday).
"I just have to take it one hole at a time, one shot at a time - I know everyone says it and you've heard it a million times, but it's true.
"I feel I'm well prepared this week for whatever the conditions."
McIlroy added: "It's not like I've shot good scores in first rounds and haven't backed them up before. I'm used to doing that. I just haven't done it recently."

Wirral's public health chief is urging golf fans to take precautions as the Royal Liverpool course swelters in a heatwave.
The Met Office has forecast high temperatures - and thunderstorms - for the Northwest this weekend.
Director of Public Health for Wirral Fiona Johnstone said: "It's great to have the chance to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather – we don't get sunny summers as often as we'd like – but it's important to be safe in the heat too."
I wonder if the weather will nice enough today for a spot of sunbathing? This spectator thought that was the case yesterday!

Here's your weather forecast for the day - not looking to bad!
Yesterday, John Singleton's - Wirral's very own homegrown talent - also attracted a large following with huge cheers and applause as the factory worker made his way around the course, finishing six over.
John Singleton looked to enjoy his first day at the Open.
The 30-year-old from Moreton, who only turned pro in February, was supported by his family and friends and colleagues who were given the day off to show their support.
After going from the factory floor to the fairways, Singleton has more than made his mark on the golfing world, transforming himself from forklift driver to local hero.
Many across the world also took to Twitter to praise the "underdog".
@emmajanerigby @WIRRALGLOBENEWS I just hope he can win ! Such a thing it would be, life changing i would think.— @REbaskey 17 July 2014
Tiger Woods - who lifted the Claret Jug when the Open was last held in Hoylake in 2006 - finished round one with a 69, placing him in joint 10th after the first day. He tees off at 2.05pm today alongside Argentina's Angel Cabrera and Sweden's Henrik Stenson.
Tiger Woods lifts the Claret Jug back in 2006.
It was an early start for some golfers with the first group teeing off at 6.25am.
And while large crowds gathered close to every hole, it was the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Bubba Watson that predictably attracted the biggest followings.
Tiger Woods tees off to a huge round of applause.
Thousands flocked to the Royal Liverpool Golf Course in Hoylake for the first day of the tournament yesterday on what proved to be a spectacular occasion with perfect weather to boot.
Close to 100 million people across the globe were expected to watch the coverage of the 143rd Open on the television today while those on course basked in sunshine and temperatures of 24 degrees.
Crowds enjoy the good weather at Royal Liverpool.
In 2006, when the Open was last held in Hoylake, record crowds of 230,000 descened on the town to see 14-time major winner Tiger Woods lift the Claret Jug.
This year, organisers the R&A estimated attendances would reach 200,000.
Although just 42,805 people visited the course on the four practice days between Sunday and Wednesday - 9,000 less than eight years ago - that figure is 9,000 more than when the Open was last held in the Northwest at Royal Lytham in 2012.
Good morning! We're back at Royal Liverpool today for the second day of the 143rd Open Championship.
Before we head out onto the course, let's take a look back at what happened yesterday...

New 'Monsanto Protection Act' Gives Monsanto Power Over US Government
Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society
Waking Times
There truly is no rest for the wicked, and Monsanto is at war once again against health conscious consumers with the latest 'Monsanto Protection Act', managing to sneak wording into the latest Senate legislation that would give them blanket immunity from any USDA action regarding the potential dangers of their genetically modified creations while under review. The USDA would be unable to act against any and all new GMO crops that were suspected to be wreaking havoc on either human health or the environment.
It's a legislative weapon that could be passed as early as next week if we don't gather enough support to force our Senators to eliminate the section. It all started in the late hours of Monday night, when lobbyists working for the Monsanto-fronted biotechnology industry managed to slide a 'rider' (through the deceptively worded Farmer Assurance Provision, Sec. 735) into the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill that is currently on the table of the Senate.
A massive petition to stop what has been labeled as the 'Monsanto Protection Act' has been launched by Food Democracy Now, detailing what could come if the legislation is signed into law within the coming days or weeks:
If approved, the Monsanto Protection Act would force the USDA to allow continued planting of any GMO crop under court review, essentially giving backdoor approval for any new genetically engineered crops that could be potentially harmful to human health or the environment.
Monsanto Protection Act Trumps US Government
Federal courts would be powerless to regulate the sale and even cultivation of illegal and dangerous GMO crops, succumbing instead to the power of the biotech industry and Monsanto. The same threat we faced last summer during the initial emergence of this act. During that time, we saw major groups assemble against the act, from national farm institutions to food safety titans. The Center for Food Safety, the National Family Farm Coalition, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Sierra Club, and the Union of Concerned Scientists all came together to speak out against the incognito bombshell slipped into the 2012 Farm Bill and the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations Bill.
And now Monsanto is back at it.
Thus, it is imperative that we peacefully kick Monsanto out of the Senate and back into the alleyways of Washington D.C., and let it be known that any politician who sides with Big Biotech will not be staying in the Senate for much longer.

The Pew Research Center recently released a report including findings from a survey of over 800 young adults, ages 18-34. The survey was conducted in late December 2011 and revealed facts about Generation Y and the workplace. Here are some interesting things I took away from the study's findings:
The hard economic times have impacted Millennials long-term plans. The report said that 59% of 18-34 year olds took a job they didn't want just to pay the bills. That includes part-time jobs, but college graduates have also been forced to accept full-time positions unrelated to their college studies due to the recession. Only 30% of 18-34 year olds consider their current job a career. I have read many conflicting articles on this topic. Some experts say that Millennials will settle where others say that Millennials will strive for more– I think that depends on the Gen Y-er. Either way, it does make sense to me that economic times have impacted Millennials long-term plans.
Education and training have also changed in the recession. 35% of respondents said that they went back to school because the economy was so bad. Among employed 18-34 year olds, less than half (46%) say they have the education and training necessary to get ahead in their job or career, whereas only 27% of the unemployed say they are adequately prepared for the kind of job they want. The study shows that college does make a difference. 69% of young college graduates who are working say that they have the education and training they need to get ahead. Can't afford a four-year degree or don't have the time? Check out my recent blog post on 2-year degree programs.
Young adults are more optimistic about the future than their older counterparts. The report revealed that 88% of people ages 18-34 say they either earn enough money now or expect they will in the future, whereas 28% of adults ages 35 and over said they don't anticipate making enough money in the future.
Do you work with Millennials? What do you think about the study's findings?
