Wrong Diagnosis Of Genital Herpes
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Herpes Simplex (Cold Sores and Genital Herpes)What Is Herpes? Herpes simplex refers to a group of viruses that infect humans. Like herpes zoster (shingles, see Fact Sheet 509 ), herpes simplex causes painful skin eruptions. Itching and tingling are usually the first signs, followed by a blister that breaks open. The infection stays dormant in nerve cells. This is called "latency." However, it can become active again with no warning. Herpes can be active without symptoms or visible signs....

7 smart ways to pay for college
It's possible to pay for school without you, or your kids, going deep into debt. Try these 7 savvy strategies to help them get an education without going broke.
Students who borrow for college graduate with an average of $25,250 in debt. That's the equivalent of a new car or a down payment on a home. Even if some borrowing is inevitable for you and your child, it's worth it to first explore other options to help you pay for college. All you need is a little lead time and some background on your choices.
The options, as well as their rewards and drawbacks, are varied. Some vehicles, including Coverdells, 529 plans and Roth IRAs, come with tax advantages for college savers. Others, such as custodial accounts, offer greater investing flexibility. Private scholarships, meanwhile, are sources of free money.
We rounded up the best payment strategies, based on Kiplinger's extensive coverage of college values, college savings and student loans. We've highlighted the pros and cons of each option, as well as resources to help you get started.
529 savings plans
- Pro: Tax breaks galore
- Con: Portfolio limitations
The appeal of 529 plans lies in their easy access as well as their tax benefits. Sponsored by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 529 plans let your savings grow tax-free, and the earnings escape federal tax completely if the withdrawals are used for qualified college expenses, including tuition, fees and room and board. Two-thirds of states give residents a tax deduction or other tax breaks on their contributions. Not only are you permitted to invest in other states' 529 plans, in most plans, your choice of school is not limited to the state your 529 plan is in.
The plans also set no income limit and have a high limit on contributions. And if your child decides not to attend college, you can change the designation to a sibling without losing the tax break.
But if you use the money for non-college expenses, you'll be on the hook for taxes and earnings penalties.
Another drawback of 529 plans: You lose direct control. After you pick a portfolio, usually from a limited pool of investment options, you must wait 12 months before you can change the mix or transfer the money to another plan. And a state-appointed firm manages the account, not you.
Prepaid tuition plans
- Pro: A hedge against inflation
- Con: Not all states participate
If you're planning to send your child to school in-state, consider signing up for a prepaid tuition plan. These plans, most of which are available only to state residents, let you lock in tuition at public colleges years in advance. They offer the same tax benefits as 529 savings plans, and you pay the same taxes and penalties if you use the money for unqualified expenses.
If your student goes to an out-of-state or private college, you can transfer the value of the account or get a refund. (More than 270 private colleges also let you prepay through the Private College 529 Plan.)
States use different methods for carving tuition and fees into sellable chunks, but they all require that you buy the plan several years before your child starts college, and charge you somewhat more than the current year's tuition. Currently, only 20 states offer the plans, of which nine are closed to new enrollment.
- Pro: Also cover private elementary and high schools
- Con: Strict -- and low -- contribution limits
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts are similar to 529s in that the money in the accounts grows tax-deferred and escapes tax if you use it for qualified education expenses. Coverdells expand the definition of "qualified," however, to include tuition at private elementary schools and high schools. If you withdraw the money for nonqualified expenses, you pay tax and a 10% penalty on earnings.
You can set up a Coverdell at a bank or brokerage firm and tweak the investments as often as you like, but the total amount you contribute per child cannot exceed $2,000 a year, and the beneficiary has to be younger than 18. To contribute, you must have a modified adjusted gross income of less than $110,000 as a single filer or $220,000 as a married couple filing jointly. The provisions on Coverdells will become less generous in 2013, unless Congress extends the terms.
Roth IRAs
- Pro: Tax-free growth that you control
- Con: Withdrawals dent your nest egg
A Roth IRA can help fund your retirement and your kid's college education, but only if you start early.
The money in a Roth grows tax-free, and you avoid tax on withdrawals that don't exceed your contributions. You also avoid a 10% early-withdrawal penalty on earnings if you use the money for educational expenses. In 2012, you are eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA if your modified adjusted gross income is $183,000 for married couples filing jointly, or $125,000 for single filers.
It's important to keep in mind that you will owe tax on any earnings you withdraw unless you are 59½ and have held the account for at least five years. But if you and your spouse each save the $5,000 annual maximum ($6,000 if you're 50 or older) over 18 years, you'll accumulate $180,000 in contributions alone. With earnings of 8% a year, the total could top $400,000. That's enough to fund both tuition and a decent nest egg.

Custodial accounts
- Pro: No limits on contributions
- Con: Your child ultimately controls the money
Custodial accounts, known as UGMAs (for the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act) and UTMAs (for the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act), let you put money or other assets in trust for a minor child and, as trustee, manage the account until the child reaches 18 or 21, depending on your state. At that age, Junior owns the account and can use the money for whatever he wants -- be it tuition, a trip to Europe or a new car.
There's no limit on how much a parent can put in a custodial account. However, it's smart to cap individual annual contributions at $13,000 to avoid triggering the gift tax. Speaking of taxes, full-time students under age 24 pay no tax on the first $950 of unearned income and the child's rate on the next $950. Earnings above $1,900 are taxed at the parents' marginal rate.
Investment choices in custodial accounts aren't restricted, as they are with 529 plans. That's a plus. On the downside, large balances in UGMAs and UTMAs can hurt chances for financial aid. Custodial accounts count as student assets, and the federal financial-aid formula calls for students to contribute 20% of their savings (versus 5.6% of savings for parents).
Private scholarships
- Pro: Free money -- enough said
- Con: Financial-aid complications
You don't have to be an all-star athlete, a musical prodigy or even an "A" student to collect on private scholarships. Many are awarded to students based on need or special interests.
The best place to start your search is in the high school guidance office. A financial-aid officer at the college you're applying to can also help. Websites for exploring scholarships abound. A favorite is Fastweb, which claims to list scholarships worth a total of more than $3.4 billion. Register for free to have scholarships matched to your profile. Another free site worth visiting is College Answer, run by student lender Sallie Mae. Register to use the scholarship search tool.
While there are plenty of national scholarships, don't neglect to look closer to home as well. Many local organizations offer private scholarships, and the competition for these awards is less intense. Good ties may lie no further than an employer (student's or parent's) or a community group, club or lodge.
But remember: Schools may reduce aid if scholarships and aid combined equal more than a student's calculated need. But that might mean a reduction in loans.
Student loans
- Pro: Make up for savings shortfalls
- Con: You have to pay them back
Saving for college ahead of time is, of course, preferable to taking on considerable debt. But if you must borrow, borrow smart. Go with government-sponsored loans, such as the Federal Stafford Loan (also called Federal Direct), which offer flexible repayment options and fixed interest rates. For qualifying students, Stafford loans are subsidized, meaning your child won't owe any interest on the loans while they're still in school.
You can apply for federal programs, as well as federal work-study, state programs and institutional aid, with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA form. Parents can also look into federal PLUS loans, money borrowed by Mom and Dad on behalf of a student to help pay for college.

Open Bore MRI Technology
Of course, a test is only as effective as the equipment behind it. And CentraState, in partnership with Freehold Radiology Group, recently installed the world's premier MRI system, the Magnetom Espree 1.5 Tesla Open Bore MRI—the first open bore MRI in central New Jersey. With a magnet that's three to five times stronger than the magnet in conventional MRIs, the open bore also offers more head, leg and elbow room to accommodate larger patients, as well as those who experience discomfort in enclosed spaces.
The MRI center is located at Freehold MR Associates on the campus of CentraState Medical Center.

Jurors debated Brian Gale's fate for three hours before stopping for the night. Earlier Thursday, they listened to his explanation of the trip into the swamp from which his stepson did not return.
Gale testified he thought he and his stepson, Daniel Head, were going to the Buffalo Swamp for a few hours to prepare hunting plots on the day the teen died. He said he felt responsible for the death, but not guilty of murder.
"It's my fault that he went out there," Gale said from the witness stand. "But I didn't kill him."
He claimed he and the 14 year old were close and were in the swamp March 7, 2010, to hunt turkeys and hone the boy's hunting skills. Gale said, a few hours into their hike, Daniel became fatigued and lethargic. Defense attorneys introduced claims Daniel had taken medication that made him exhausted.
"I was asking him if he was on some kind of drug and he said no, but he kept wanting to stop and rest," Gale stated.
He said those delays kept them in the swamp later and forced them to find their way back out in the dark. But Gale said Daniel lost an expensive flashlight he'd let the teen use, so seeing their GPS became more diffifult.
Finally, after carrying Daniel as far as he could, Gale said he left the boy in order to find a way out of the swamp to find help.
"I tried to start a fire to keep him warm and find my way back to him, but my lighter was wet from the water and it wouldn't work," Gale said.
Prosecutors pointed out Gale typically carried a flint stick to start fires and more outdoor gear than what he carried on this trip, including his cell phone.
Gale is charged with both malice murder and felony murder, as well as child endangerment and other charges. Prosecutors told jurors in closing statements they could find him guilty, or not guilty, of either. Malice murder would imply a deliberate action to take the boy's life, they explained. Felony murder is applied when a person commits a crime that leads to a death.
Gale claimed it took him 10 hours to find his way to the nearest home to get help for Daniel. He found friend Keith Williams at home and Williams said Gale arrived almost unrecognizable, muddy, suffering hypothermia and unable to speak.
Friends of Gale testified on Thursday that Gale knew the Buffalo swamp better than almost anyone. However, even the most experience outdoorsman could become lost in the dense woods, thick mud and Cypress trees.
During cross examination, prosecutors questioned whether Gale was honestly lost or delaying his return to Daniel. In addition, the state claimed Daniel's death may have been deliberate - that Gale may have forced the boy's head below the water surface in frustration.
The jury will return to the McIntosh County courthouse Friday morning to resume deliberations.

Amen. I've seen this on my server and had guild members complain in chat they were not considered for even a heroic 5-man because they didn't have something the leader wanted. One of my best hunters is leveling a warrior because she grew tired of the unrealistic expectations for heroic 5-man PuGs. I remind them that we can do things as a guild, maybe not rightnow when they want to go, but in the next couple of days.
But really, this isn't something new. I remember BC LFG posts that were, "Must know fights" or "Must have 2k dps". Maybe because there were more endgame instances to do in BC, it wasn't as prevalent as it is now, but it was there.
I can't speak to Classic as I was just a lowbie when BC came out so I never paid attention to LFG Classic endgame. I'm willing to bet, though, some PuGs had, "Must have own Ony Scale Cloak".

I know you're not supposed to laugh directly at your children when they're trying to be serious or when they're dabbling in naughty territory. I know this because I get paid to write about parenting, which should mean that I know a thing or two, but also because pretty much everyone is aware that this is not a good parenting tactic.
Sometimes, though, it happens.
Yesterday, younger daughter huffs into the room. She'd been playing with her dad in another room, and judging from her expression, something wasn't going her way. She says in her lilty, lispy voice, "Daddy is just a teeny, tiny, tiny, teeeeeeny, little, tiny …"
And this went on for a while, until finally she says, "teeny tiny bit … stupid. Just a little bit. I hate to say that in our house. But it's true."
Saying "stupid" in our house is like dropping the F-bomb. You just don't do it. And I've been firm on this issue, because I've been hearing the word a lot lately, thanks to a certain classroom friend of younger daughter's who says the word frequently at school. There's always one, isn't there?
But how do you not laugh at that? I literally had to turn away. I couldn't even manage to talk about why she was angry or help her deal with her frustration because I was afraid I'd snort right in her face.
The upside is that I now have a new track to play in my head whenever I'm feeling bothered by a bad driver or stupid difficult person: "You're just a little, tiny, teeeeny, tiny …"

Sustainable development has been snuck in the back door on the local and county levels, ofttimes to the blithe ignorance of those officials, but more often with the full knowlege of what they are doing. It's the boiling-water-frog syndrome. Since it's broken down into so many parts (i.e. local actions), the vast majority of Americns don't even realize it's happening.

Bits and Pieces
Some of my String Blocks Bonnie Hunter Method Strings and Things! Last week we happened to be in Target and I remembered needing a few new bins to contain my growing "string" collection so I picked one up. I was able to consolidate all my strings into one bin and separate out my crumbs into another. I couldn't believe how many strings I had! Some of them are too narrow to sew into blocks so those will be either saved for fabric basket making or thrown out, I'm not sure which yet. I pulled a handful out and plopped it into a basket so I could work on some more string blocks on Betty (Singer 201-2)....Read More »

A Little Something for Halloween
Somehow all this Halloween fabric ended up in my stash so I decided to whip up something really quick for my office at work. This is what I came up with! The main panel is a remnant I found in a bin at Jo-Anns and the bottom part I appliqued on myself. The cat and the bat came from Lori with the charms she sent to me during one of our swaps and I had to use those too! Free motion quilting throughout. I did it in a hurry so it isn't my best work but I think it turned out cute and cheery. I love the old fashioned portraits in the fabric I think they are...Read More »
Free Pattern Friday – Triangle Love
I'm seeing more and more quilts featuring triangles of all shapes and sizes so I thought I'd highlight some of the ones that have caught my eye recently. Joelle's Triangle Quilt - Great tutorial on how to do a lovely half-square triangle block using HSQ units of all different sizes to make a 12″ square block. I think it would look fantastic with different themes of fabrics. Great scrap quilt potential too! I think playing with these blocks when they are all finished for an interesting layout could be amazing. Great potential here and the page is full of lovely photo tutorials for how to make the units and such. I heart lovely photo tutorials! Quiltstory...Read More »
WIP Wednesday
Pinning primary blocks I haven't done one of these in FOREVER so it is time to catch up! Currently working on: 3 Primary Color Twin Quilts – 10 minute blocks – finished size is 76″ square. I finished appliqueing the names last night for all three quilts. Yay! Blocks are ready for one quilt top to be completely pieced together. Finishing the final 30 blocks for the last two quilts so I can piece them all together at the same time. The first two seams are done on those blocks, just need to pin and sew the third and then iron flat and topstitch the middle part down on each block. Will likely be finished tomorrow.

The Modern Garden Revealed
I put the finishing touches on The Modern Garden quilt today. It is my guild challenge quilt that I'm entering into this years contest. We were provided two ugly fabrics and allowed to use six other fabrics for the top. Dimensions had to be within 80-100 inches all around. Mine measured in at 98 inches and will probably shrink a bit once it is washed so I squeaked by. It is all machine applique, machine quilted and my own design. The theme was "The Birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees". I managed to get two of the four worked in there so that's good. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it...Read More »

Podcast Delayed Due to Quilt in Progress!!
I've got a few deadlines I need to meet and can't really record while I'm doing applique unfortunately (someone invent a way to podcast and sew at the same time please). My challenge quilt for my guild is due in less than 4 weeks and I've got lots of work left to do on it. So much stitching to be done before I can baste and quilt it. I do plan on doing a fair amount of quilting in the background and on the borders too. Nothing has been applique stitched yet, I've just fused it to the background. Wednesday I plan to start stitching things down. I think I've hidden the "ugly" challenge fabrics we...Read More »

Symphony W125 Review
the price vary smartphone market is covered with cheap-and-cheerful Android operating gadget devices, however Symphony is anticipating to vary all that with its Symphony W125. available from just $192, this is Android device blows above its bulk in some common zone.
We've been satisfied with the fashion and construction of Symphony's latest Xplorer, and the W125 is not any exemption. develop top quality is on a par with Symphony's more upmarket Android devices. There aren't any stocks of its style. The flat back, rounded aspects and distinctive key construction with a hundred twenty five gm.
Symphony use latest android running system 4.1 Jelly Bean. four.5" IPS display touch show. The highly effective feature can also be elevate the taste of the usage of this device. Quad Core 1.2 GHz processor with 1GB Ram and four GB internal reminiscence.
this is not moderately you're going to see in daily use, still. We pronouncing no major efficiency considerations when processing the running system.
The Symphony W125 contributes the whole lot we favored within the Symphony W90, a extra time, greater show, at no cost turn-through-flip routing, and a faster processer. And Above, its top-to-backside improve is numerous, skinny, and feather-gentle.
ultimately, energy provide lifespan is purely moderate. It takes a relatively low capability 1,300 mAh energy provide battery, and it shows: the W125 had just 50% on the gauge after our 24-hour power supply take a look at – 10% better than the Symphony Xplorer W90, but in the back of most of its rivals.
price of Taka is the Symphony W125's strongest fit – it's on hand for free on a BDT 14990/-. At that value, it is cool to absolve the bad high quality digicam and energy provide. via looks, robust building and sleek, delicate efficiency which might be unique at this price, Symphony W125 is the software to buy if you're subsequent a smartphone on the low price.

@Pyromelter: Indeed. I'm playing the game that includes quests like this:
Do you have any links to the game you're playing, where quest text clearly indicates psychosis on her part (rather than ruthlessness you don't just agree with)? Or is that game only in your own mind?

About the Author: Kris M. Balderston serves as the Special Representative for Global Partnerships within the Office of the Secretary of State.
Throughout 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton continuously emphasized the importance of partnering and cross-sectoral collaboration as a means to improve diplomacy and development outcomes around the world. At the Global Partnership Initiative, we have worked hard to achieve the Secretary's vision around partnerships by breaking down barriers to collaboration within and across the Department and with the private sector and civil society organizations. To say it's been a tremendously successful year for partnerships would be an understatement.
In 2012, we saw each of our four flagship partnerships grow and flourish beyond expectations and the focus on building partnerships… more »

This recipe was simple. three basic steps, not a lot of chopping, and is great after only 25 minutes of simmering. I added some hot peppers and a little bit more chili powder and doubled the garlic. It's even better the second day!

{ ♚ } Pretty late to say, but my Marth is on hiatus. I've been busy — not only that but I've forgotten Marth's email (finally remembered it now), and I've been distracted by other muses.
My Marth muse hasn't been strong lately, and I'm a little anxious by the fact that I have many followers, so my urge to RP him is very little.
What I can do to fix this issue is to try playing some more FE3 (and maybe even FE12) to get the muse back into gear. For now, he's on hiatus so that I don't have to stress over replies.
I'm sorry for keeping others waiting for replies, and I'm sorry for being an inactive roleplayer.

1950 Mountain View Avenue, Longmont, CO 80501
Researchers have found several risk factors that make you more likely to develop kidney cancer. The following may increase your risk of developing kidney cancer:1
A kidney tumor is an abnormal growth in the kidney. The terms "mass," "lesion" and "tumor" are often used interchangeably. Tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The most common kidney mass is a fluid-filled area called a cyst. Simple cysts are benign, do not turn into cancer and usually do not require follow-up care. Solid kidney tumors can be benign, but are cancerous more than 90 percent of the time.1
It is possible that kidney cancer can grow into the renal vein and vena cava. The renal vein is the kidney's primary draining vein and the vena cava is the vein that takes blood to the heart. The portion of the cancer that extends into these veins is called "tumor thrombus." Imaging studies, such as an MRI, can help to find out if tumor thrombus is present.
Tumors must stimulate the growth of new blood vessels to provide the tumor with nutrients and oxygen. This process, known as angiogenesis, is needed for a tumor to grow and spread to other areas of the body. Kidney cancers are considered very angiogenic and are very efficient at travelling through the blood vessels in the body. They do this by secreting a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF acts on nearby blood vessels and stimulates them to sprout new vessels to supply the tumor.1
All surgery presents risk, including da Vinci Surgery. Results, including cosmetic results, may vary. Serious complications may occur in any surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious and life-threatening complications, which may require hospitalization, include injury to tissues or organs; bleeding; infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction or pain. Temporary pain or nerve injury has been linked to the inverted position often used during abdominal and pelvic surgery. Patients should understand that risks of surgery include potential for human error and potential for equipment failure. Risk specific to minimally invasive surgery may include: a longer operative time; the need to convert the procedure to an open approach; or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure to open could mean a longer operative time, long time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Research suggests that there may be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery. Patients who bleed easily, have abnormal blood clotting, are pregnant or morbidly obese are typically not candidates for minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Surgery. Other surgical approaches are available. Patients should review the risks associated with all surgical approaches. They should talk to their doctors about their surgical experience and to decide if da Vinci is right for them. For more complete information on surgical risks, safety and indications for use, please refer to http://www.davincisurgery.com/da-vinci-surgery/safety-information.php.

I applied through college or university - interviewed at PwC in October 2012.

- They asked a case question regarding sub prime mortgages and bank regulation. That was difficult mostly because it was unexpected. Answer Question

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at PwC in March 2011.Interview Details
I applied online for the position and received a call within a few days requesting a time for a phone interview with a recruiter. The interview with the recruiter was basically general information about my resume and my experience within my role. It lasted about 20 minutes.
Within a week I was contacted again to schedule a phone interview with a manager on the team. The manager asked me several questions related to my experience, skills and tools I've used. He was very nice. Interview lasted about 30 minutes.
After a few days I was contacted to schedule another 30 minute phone interview with the Director of the team. I believe normally canadiates only have 1 phone interview with a Director but for some reason I had both manager and Director. Director asked very similar questions to managerand was also nice.
A week later I was asked to come into the office for an in person interview. I was a local canadiate so I did not need travel arrangements but they did offer to pay for air and hotel. When I arrived I was greeted by a host who took me to all 4 of my 30 minute interviews (1 partner, 1 manager, 2 directors). All of the interviews went very well with all questions around my experience and how I would handle certain situations.Interview Questions

I didn't have a typical recruiting process. A friend of the family forwarded my resume on to the HR department at PWC and I was contacted via email about an initial phone screen. The phone screen took 30-45min with a Director in the Advisory practice. Three days later I received an email asking me to do an office visit in Chicago.
The office visit consisted of two days of activities. The first day/night was a dinner with recent hires as well as seniors in the Advisory practice. The following day was an office welcome, two interviews with a director and then a partner, an office tour and then a question/answer panel. Overall the interview process was fairly easy. They asked basic questions about my resume, class work, group projects etc. It was more of a conversational interview then anything which made the time go by very quickly.Interview Questions

Funding For Grammy Museum in Mississippi SoughtBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 28 Feb 2012 04:41pm |
A Mississippi delta town could be home to just the second Grammy music museum in the country, if state law makers agree to issue 6-million dollars in bond money to help fund it. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports that advocates say the museum would tell the story of Mississippi's rich musical heritage.
While Mississippi makes up less than one-percent of the population of America, 8-percent of all life time achievement Grammy winners, like blue great B.B. King, are Mississippians.
Allan Hammons is leading the effort to build a Grammy Music Museum in Cleveland, Mississippi because he says that the history of music in the magnolia state is going untold.
"If you look at blues, one of original musical art forms in America, it was born in Mississippi. Country music, Jimmy Rodgers, born in Mississippi. Rock and Roll, Bo Diddley and Elvis Presley, born in Mississippi. I told you the story about Betty Everett who was a great talented songstress who grew up in my home town of Greenwood. We were listening to her songs and didn't have a clue that she was from our own home town. That is just how disconnected, in some ways, we have been from the story of Mississippi music," Hammon said.
There is currently only one Grammy museum which is located in Los Angeles.
If built, the Clevelandmuseum would be just the second Grammy Museum in the country.
Museum backers are asking the state for 6-million dollars to round out the funding for the museum.
Cleveland Mayor Billy Nowell says the remainder of the money, about 9-million dollars, would come from the city, county and private donations.
"We've raised about 4-and-a-half million dollars and I feel like in a six month period we will have probably 6 or 7 million dollars locally. Our town is a very giving town and a very forward town and I feel like we will easily raising the money," Nowell said.
Issuing bonds, which adds to the state's debt, is a controversial topic for many in the Mississippi legislature.....but House Ways and Means chairman Jeff Smith of Columbus says the local involvement could make law makers more open to issuing the money.
"We don't mind partnering as a state with a local community and some private sources. When I heard that and I heard we could do it in two stages or two phases, I think that is something we can do in this state," Smith said.
Early plans are to build the museum on the campus of Delta State University.
Museum advocates say the facility can be open for business within two years if the state approves the funding.

Arms export controls and emerging domestic producers
AbstractThe possibility of domestic production raises a difficulty for arms export control measures, since embargoes, by raising the effective price of imports, increase the incentive for domestic production. We address this issue by developing a partial equilibrium model of the international arms market We compare three arms export regimes involving the exporters of high-technology arms, with a particular focus on the effect of emerging domestic production: laissez-faire trade, the uncoordinated regulation of exports and a producer cartel consisting of coordinated regulation. The main conclusion is that the possibility of domestic production significantly changes the nature of these stylized export regimes.

This kind of product is really quite difficult to present in such large windows, however, we have to admit these guys have done an incredible job just by simply focusing our attention on these pieces with the use of simulated spilling paint. What a fun concept. We will check back and keep an eye on these guys as they have been producing such great schemes recently and we cant wait to see what they do next.

RICHMOND – Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement this morning following news from Bath County that State Senator Creigh Deeds has been seriously injured in a morning altercation. Senator Deeds is currently being treated at U.Va.
"In this tough and sad time, our thoughts and prayers are with the Deeds family. The news from this morning is utterly heartbreaking. Creigh Deeds is an exceptional and committed public servant who has always done what he believes is best for Virginia and who gives his all to public service. He cares deeply about Virginia, and the people of Virginia care deeply for him. I urge all Virginians today to join me in praying for a full and complete recovery for Creigh and for many more years of his public service to the Commonwealth. At this moment, our state unites in prayer for Creigh Deeds and his family."

We celebrate a lot on the Fourth of July - American exceptionalism and the founding of our nation, to name two - but we don't often reflect on where we came from. Over in England, there's enough going on to be thankful we're no longer a member of the British Empire. ... more
