There are two basic types of rapists: rapists unknown to the victim and rapists known to the victim. Both types of rapists commit rape because they want to and they can. It is not true that rapists rape to have sex. Many times rapists have a consenting partner with whom they can have sex.
The rapist unknown to the victim typically is a stranger. He frequently has a knife or other weapon. He threatens the victim during the attack and may injure her severely. He tells her he will hurt her in the future.
Rapists unknown to the victim direct enormous hatred toward women. They want to degrade, humiliate, and use power over their victims. About 20 percent of rapists fit into this category. For victims, dying is a major fear during the attack.
This rapist is someone the victim knows: a friend, a date, an acquaintance, a relative, a husband or partner. He rarely threatens the victim with physical violence beyond the sexual assault itself, and does not usually injure the victim.
About 80 percent of rapists know their victims. Their goal is to have power and control over the victim. For many victims, in their efforts to cope after the rape, the major issue is the violation of trust the rape represents.This information provided by, or adapted from information provided by, Mid-Valley Women's Crisis Service.

2015 Mid-Valley Green Awards Nominees and Winners
We are excited to announce the 2015 Mid-Valley Green Awards Nominees and Winners. This year we had an overwhelming community response to nominate their friends and local businesses. We have over 42 nominations with pages upon pages of good deeds and earth-friendly behaviors to sift through. The 2015 Mid-Valley Green Awards wash a smashing success with proceeds supporting the Straub Environmental Center, a Trashion show by DIY Studio, and live music and activities during the silent auction. 2015 Recycler of the Year Individual: Dana CanningDana Canning created the Salem Sleeping Bag Project, where volunteers crochets mats and sleeping bags for homeless people from recycled materials and plastic bags. One sleeping mat uses 600 to 900 plastic grocery bags. In addition to using plastic bags, she reuses old clothing, blankets, sheets and other fabric for the bags. To date, the project has finished 180 mats and 80 sleeping bags, and Dana has volunteered more than 100 hours teaching community members to make these items.Nominees in this category merit this award because of their outstanding efforts and/or leadership in the area of recycling. Individuals:
2015 Recycler of the Year Business: South Salem Cycleworks
South Salem CycleWorks hasn't had garbage service in 25 years of business, collects compost, refurbishes old bikes using as many used components as possible for those unable to invest in a new bike; scraps unusable bikes for parts, and recycles other parts—worn out chains, for example, are sent to Resource Revival. Fluorescent bulbs are saved for decontamination before discarding; batteries from cyclometers and lights are collected for recycling; all cardboard, paper and plastic is sorted and recycled; packing material is delivered to the Mail Depot or FEDEX for reuse; and Styrofoam is taken to the downtown collection site at the Farmers Market. The shop uses recycled product packaging where it can and promotes products made from recycled material.
2015 Sustainable Small Business of the Year: Rafns'
Rafns', a restaurant and specialty grocery store supplying local and responsibly raised products and ingredients, produces very little waste. Chef Nate Rafn uses every part of his food scraps—chicken bones for broth, vegetable pieces for stock, and pork fat for rendering. Every other item in the business—from menus, paper tickets and food containers to wash water, wood pallets and glass jars—are reused as many times as possible and then recycled. During construction, wood pallets were used for the rustic wall sign and two counters. Chefs cook in an open kitchen and talk openly about the use of local, organic and sustainable ingredients.Nominees in this category merit this award because of their outstanding efforts and/or leadership to foster sustainability in their organization and/or the community. Small:
2015 Sustainable Large Business of the Year: BrucePac
BrucePac, a local large-scale meat processor, recycled more than 60,000 pounds of metal and 1.3 million pounds of cardboard in 2014, worked to redesign a supplier's cardboard box so that it could be recycled, has an entire department dedicated to reusing and repairing wooden pallets, and is designing custom equipment to clean dirty plastic enough for recycling, which would mean an extra 50,000 pounds of plastic would not be trashed each year. Since 2009, the company has reduced energy use by 22 percent, and a condensate return project saves more than 2 million gallons of water a year by recycling it back into the steam boiler system.
2015 EarthWISE Business of the Year: Kerr Concentrates
Kerr Concentrates, producer of fruit and vegetable concentrates, purees and specialty fruit and vegetable blends among other products, sent metal drums to a reconditioner for reuse, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 468 tons a year. The company also provides customers with credit when they return empty plastic poly drums. Its energy upgrades are expected to reduce the facility's annual kilowatt hours by 287,000 units and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 382,000 pounds. But the company's greatest reduction in waste comes from capturing the organic waste produced from processing lines and sending it to composting facilities, diverting more than 8 million pounds of material from the landfill just this year.Nominees in this category merit this award because of their outstanding efforts in continually reducing their environmental bottom line and improving their progress on the continuum of qualifying EarthWISE criteria. EarthWISE certified businesses are committed to working toward sustainability and have documented efforts to refine their practices to protect the environment in their community. Only businesses that are EarthWISE certified prior to January 1, 2014, are eligible for nomination in this category.
2015 Green Apple Award: Dan Hoynacki
Dan Hoynacki is the founder and organizer of many Oregon State University K-12 after-school programs for Marion County's at-risk and vulnerable youth. Over the past 13 years, he has engaged nearly 3,000 at-risk youth in more than 130,000 hours of service to the community. From his Youth Enviro Squad to Youth Farm to Wildlife, Watersheds, and Whatnot programs, students learn ecological principles, community gardening, natural resource management and career opportunities in environmental fields.Nominees in this category may be classroom teachers or someone involved in general public education. This environmental educator not only imparts knowledge about the natural world, but provides meaningful and constructive ways for students or the public to interact with it.
2015 Green Product of the Year: Zena ForestZena Forest Products, certified through the Forest Stewardship Council, provides 100-percent locally sourced and produced flooring and lumber, and almost all of it is sold and used in the Willamette Valley. The company works hard to maintain and expand the rare Oregon white oak ecosystem, which has only about 5 percent of the original pre-settlement area left intact in the valley, by providing an economic incentive for forest landowners to responsibly manage their oak ecosystems. The durable hardwood flooring that is produced from these forest lasts longer than any other flooring alternative, reducing the pressure on our valuable natural resources, and ensuring that these forests will be maintained.
2015 Sustainable Wine Producer or Brewery of the Year: Willamette Valley Vineyards
Willamette Valley Vineyards, certified sustainable through LIVE and Salmon Safe since 1997, offers a 10-cent refund for returned bottles, recycles corks so that they can be made into high-value products, offers 50 gallons of biodiesel a month to each employee at no cost, installed solar panels, and waters half the vineyard with water runoff stored in a tank under the production facility. In 2010, the company launched a sustainable wine-casking technology that saves 1,300 bottles for each bio-cask filled, which on average is refilled 15 times a year. The following year, the vineyard introduced rehabilitated raptors onto the property to control the rodent population that damages the vines.Nominees in this category merit this award because of their outstanding efforts in continually reducing their environmental footprint and improving their progress on a continuum of qualifying sustainable criteria. Sustainable wine producers and breweries are committed to working toward sustainability and have documented efforts to refine their practices to protect the environment in their community.

Blast near major U.S. air base kills 14
The Taliban claims responsibility for an attack that killed 14 people including four Czech soldiers near Bagram air base, the U.S. military base in eastern Afghanistan. Deborah Gembara reports. A deadly attack not far from Bagram air base, the largest U.S. military facility in Afghanistan. At least 14 people including four Czech soldiers were killed in the explosion triggered by a suicide bomber on a bike. A team of Afghan and international forces were in the area to investigate a rocket attack that happened two days earlier. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in a text message to Reuters. The blast is just the latest sign of deteriorating security in Afghanistan as international forces prepare to leave after 12 years of war with Taliban insurgents.

Clarification of Gun Terms: Semi-automatic, Assault, Machine gun
Many news reports and programs equate "semi-automatic" with "assault" guns. People are led to believe that a semi-automatic can shoot several rounds per second. We hear news commentators calling for a ban of semi-automatic weapons.
Federal Assault Weapons Ban: "Semi-automatic firearms, when fired, automatically extract the spent cartridge casing and load the next cartridge into the chamber, ready to fire again. They do not fire automatically like a machine gun."
Probably most hunting guns are semi-automatic, requiring a separate trigger pull for each round; that doesn't make them assault weapons. Of course, a victim can reasonably claim "assault" even if only one shot is fired at them (assault: a crime that involves causing a victim to apprehend violence).
"Assault weapon (semi-automatic) refers primarily (but not exclusively) to firearms that possess the cosmetic features of an assault rifle (which are fully-automatic). Actually possessing the operational features, such as 'full-auto', changes the classification from an assault weapon to a Class 3 weapon. Merely the possession of cosmetic features is enough to warrant such classification as an assault weapon."
If a weapon has certain cosmetic features of an assault rifle (e.g. pistol grip, high capacity magazine etc ) it's classified as an assault weapon.
Note that fully-automatic operation (hold trigger - several rounds per second) is not an assault weapon but a Class 3 weapon (e.g. machine gun) regulated by National Firearms Act).
What if a semi-automatic gun has not only cosmetic features, but also operates as a Class 3 rifle?
A popular conversion product provides that:
It's approved by BATF:
Apparently the product is "OK" because the operator controls the action.
This weapon provides an advantage; but may be less accurate / continual auto may damage barrel.
Dec 26 2012: In general, I tend to be more technical, looking for details about how things work.
For example, I'm truly amazed at the process of "genes to proteins".
When I heard the tragic news from Sandy Hook, of course I felt very sad for the loss of those children and teachers.
But as time passed and hearing reports of a Bushmaster .223 weapon, I learned what "semi-automatic" operation looks like in a firearm. The "six-guns" used by cowboys were the predecessor; they could shoot six times by merely pulling the trigger six times ("double-action"). Then someone invented magazines ("clips") to store more rounds and make it easier to reload.
If a criminal from the days of Roy Rogers days wanted to kill a bunch of people, he could fire 12 rounds, using both hands. Then he would need to reload.
Or he could get a Gatling gun that enabled rapid fire.
Here's a question.
Did the shooter at Sandy Hook have a gun that operated like a "six-gun" revolver used by Roy Rogers?
Or did the gun operate more like a Gatling gun?
Many news programs claim that it was a "military assault rifle" that could shoot many rounds per second.
The website "Federal Assault Weapons Ban" says:
"The Act addressed only semi-automatic firearms, that is, firearms that fire one shot each time the trigger is pulled. Neither the AWB nor its expiration changed the legal status of fully automatic firearms, which fire more than one round with a single trigger-pull; these have been regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986."
This statement is misleading. In the Sandy Hook example:
The news reports say a semi-automatic gun was used. (weapon covered by AWB)
But automatic fire was used. Weapon Not covered by AWB; therefore, the AWB would have no effect on the crime…
Barry Palmer
Dec 25 2012: Is there a classification for guns that kill children?
- +1
edward long
Dec 25 2012: No sir. That classification applies to people, not to equipment.
- +3
Dec 29 2012: No, guns don't kill people - by themselves.
Guns must be utilized by people.
And the classification of people using guns to destroy innocent lives seems to be increasing.
Dec 29 2012: I am not familiar with the statistics for what you assert, but they will not change the fact that there is no classification of firearms for killing children. The deadliest US school massacre happened in 1927 and did not involve guns. The greatest destruction of innocent human lives does not involve guns and is legal. Man's inhumanity to Man is not about guns. It is about Man himself.Dec 29 2012: @edward long: Altho it's off-topic slightly, thanks for mentioning this incident that I and many others had not known.
The 1927 Bath school disaster caused many student deaths.
The main weapons were dynamite, pyrotol, and firebombs.
But wouldn't you agree that guns are more popular in our day?
Seems to me, it's easier to obtain, transport, and operate a gun than explosives.
A technical mistake with explosives could "end it" prematurely, not producing the desired result.
Gun technology is the subject of this Conversation, but I'm interested in your statement:
"The greatest destruction of innocent human lives does not involve guns and is legal."
Please explain.
edward long
Jan 1 2013: You are correct sir, we are way off-topic when we debate which method of slaughtering innocent young people is more popular at what point in history. The greatest destruction of innocent human lives takes place every day when women exercise what they euphemistically call "choice". "Choice" is the word these folks choose as the antithesis of "life". Now we are way off-topic and the storm clouds are gathering. Let's stop.Dec 28 2012: As a rule of thumb I'd say: if it has ever been used by a military as a standard service rifle, personal defense weapon or light machine gun (or the manufacturer tried to sell it to a military for those uses) within the last 70 years, then it's probably something that would be banned by any sensible assault weapons ban.Dec 26 2012: ... more about the AWB
- +1
However, the AWB also includes a ban on weapons that have certain *cosmetic* features of a machine gun, such as a pistol grip and high-capacity magazines. Therefore, AWB would have an effect…
But then there's the issue of guns stolen from the owner. AWB would Not have an effect…
Note: If you agree with the AWB to provide some effect (it's not perfect), do you see it needs to address newer products or devices (e.g. SSAR-15) that result in a weapon capable of rapid automatic fire, as in a machine gun? Certainly these weapons provide an advantage similar to a Gatling gun. Should the BATF retract its approval of SSAR-15, or require Class 3 license?
Dec 28 2012: George,
The shooter used a semi-automatic gun, meaning one round fired per trigger squeeze. the majority of modern pistols are semi-automatic. The "action" is a bit more complicated to explain but almost irrelevant when talking pistols.
Arguably, if you keep the same magazine capacity (at 30), the same short range and the same 20 minutes shooting window, this guy would have, unfortunately, done the same with the glock he was carrying. As for revolvers, those have rapid loaders that can put 6 shots back in the drum in seconds. If you are curious go to you tube and find some rapid shooting or reloading and you will be surprised.
Dec 28 2012: The previous assault weapons ban banned high capacity magazines, so would a new one. With only pistols he would less often hit moving people more than a few metres away, his bullets would cause less damage to his victims and not penetrate some types of cover that a rifle bullet would pentrate. People would still be killed but over time the number of people killed in mass shootings would decline.
Dec 28 2012: John,
You are trying to split hairs. A ban in assault weapons won't solve anything. In a classroom sized space there is no viable cover that can stop 9mm, .40 or .45. Magazine capacity is irrelevant if the lunatic has 20 minutes to shoot and plenty of extra magazines. Take the The Virginia Tech shooter who used handguns, moved a lot more than this lunatic did and killed 30 people with 28 head shots. How long did he have? 12 minutes and a lot of moving targets.
There is a level of sensationalism associated with this tragedy, we need to peel of the emotion associated with it in order to make the right decisions. I agree in spirit that certain weapons should be banned from civilians but that is not the solution nor a start. Police response should be looked at, gun free zones security should be reassessed, weapons permits, magazines size and mental illness should also be included.Dec 29 2012: The State Police reported that the main weapon was a Bushmaster .223 semi-automatic.
In the Piers Morgan Tonight show last week, he had been calling the weapon a "military-style assault rifle".
It may have had a high-capacity magazine and looked like an M16.
On Thursday 12/20, he kept asking a guest "How many rounds can the AR-15 shoot in one second?" This implies automatic fire.
Do you know of any final police reports that the rifle may have been converted to have "automatic fire"?
If yes, this raises another issue that people should be aware of. Just a few years ago, it was stated that "automatic fire" was impossible for semi-automatic firearms.
If the weapon did not have an option for automatic fire, Piers Morgan Tonight and other reports were giving a false picture.
Jan 1 2013: George,
These people need to find something to talk about. They get paid for being loud, obnoxious and for taking a side. All of them, Morgan, O'Reily, Olberman, Maddow are to be trusted with a big BUT in the end. This whole assault rifle ban is virtually cosmetic, except for the magazines.
I don't know if the shooter converted the rifle to full-auto. I am sure it's doable and I am sure there are plenty of sources on the internet or in ranges all over the country. A gun is not a complicated thing.Dec 25 2012: George,
I am curious to know what your intent is with this debate? The information you provide regarding classification of weapons is available on line. I also suspect that when certain guns are banned, those who author the regulations will be knowledgeable enough to know what they are talking about, why they are banning certain guns, and they will make that clear in the written law. I'm sure you know that we HAD a ban on assault guns not too long ago?
Dec 25 2012: Despite the information being "on line", I'm curious about the misinformation on news programs. For example, "Piers Morgan Tonight" has been talking about the dreadful event at Sandy Hook. I think it was the Thursday program (12/20) in which Piers asked a guest several times: "How many rounds a second can an AR-15 fire?" – giving the impression of a military machine gun. For some reason, the guest did not answer.
The next day, Piers started the show with a video showing operation of an AR-15-type with "automatic" fire.
But when you see a person shooting a semi-automatic rifle at target practice (accuracy most important), he/she pulls the trigger to fire one round. It appears to take one second for the body to absorb the shock and get ready for another attempt. From the factory, the semi-automatic AR-15 apparently enables only that operation. Am I incorrect on that?
(My only personal experience with guns is with a .22 rifle my dad and older brother used for hunting, some 60 years ago.)
When I found information about the SSAR-15, a light came on. It explained how a semi-automatic rifle could be transformed into another kind of weapon. Perhaps there are other ways to do it. There is evidence from Sandy Hook that automatic fire was used (many rounds in each victim). During a murder trial, details are exposed by ballistics experts and eye-witnesses. But when the perpetrator commits suicide, there is no trial. Apparently the type of gun is an important issue. Shouldn't we know if the semi-automatic rifle was a modified version?
I find it difficult to understand:
>> The SSAR-15 product is approved by the BATF, the resultant weapon having a "machine gun" operation.
>> Nobody talks about it.
Dec 25 2012: George,
I cannot understand focus on EXACTLY how many rounds per minute or second a gun fires....whether or not it is automatic or semi-automatic....unless it is for the purpose of figuring out how fast and how many people we can shoot. There are certain guns, with certain criteria that are catagorized "assault weapons", and one can get that information on line.
To me, it doesn't matter how "many rounds" there were "in each victim". Those who are dead, are dead, and the person who shot them mis-used the weapons against innocent people. It feels odd to me to be debating the number of rounds in each of those victims
Dec 25 2012: Fully -auto (military style) weapons have the potential to pierce body armor along with the higher % of hitting parts of the body that are not covered. That is one of the main reasons they are considered more threatening. I would like to point out again that those type weapons are only available to persons with a class 3 weapon permit as talked about in the main subject.Dec 25 2012: Colleen,
As I mentioned initially, even one round from a gun is an assault on the victim.
Rifles used in 1776 inflicted fatal wounds as modern "semi-automatic" guns do today. The effect is the same. As you say, the person is dead.
In this case, it was the news reports and programs that reported the "number of rounds" information and concluded that a military assault rifle was used, implying automatic fire. And that's a problem, because we're told that the shooter's gun was a semi-automatic.
The difference between semi-automatic and automatic operation is explained and demonstrated here:
"The Truth About Semi-Auto Firearms" (Uploaded on Jan 8, 2007)
At 3:22, the retired police officer says the "automatic rifle" is sold only to policemen and law enforcement.
Towards the end, they say it's impossible to convert a semi-automatic to automatic operation.
Has something changed since 2007?
Why do Piers Morgan and other people report that a (military) automatic firearm was utilized at Sandy Hook?
What was the police evidence?Dec 26 2012: Dear George,
As I also mentioned, even one round from a gun is an assault on the victim.....on that we agree.
I am aware that weapons have changed since 1776.
News reports, are news reports George, and we know that information is sometimes inaccurate.
Yes, I believe something has changed since 2007. To the best of my knowledge, in the past 6 years, new guns have been designed, manufactured and used.
If you want to find out why people report certain information, you need to ask the person you are questioning or his/her representative. I have noticed that more information is available as the Sandy Hook investigation continues. Generally, ALL information is not available to the public until AFTER the investigation is finished.Dec 25 2012: Why are the "M16-like weapons" a problem? They fire at the same speed and kill with the same potential. I apologize if that reads in a disrespectfully meaner it's not intended to be. I personally don't understand the reasoning to ban a weapon based on looks, not to mention who would be appointed the judge of a weapons cosmetics features
Dec 29 2012: Guns (even M16 weapons) do not kill other people!
However, the federal government recognizes that they're more lethal.
Why are weapons such as M16 rifles considered to be more dangerous?
Is it because they look scary?
Would it be beneficial to ask the federal government who invented "Class 3":
Why are the M16 and "M16-like weapons" a problem?
To what extent should citizens be permitted to bear arms?
Should citizen Joe be allowed to own a grenade launcher, or a Gatling gun?
Should billionaire citizen Bob be allowed to build a small nuclear bomb?Dec 29 2012: Yeah, all guns are the same and the reason all militaries in the world use weapons that are similar to what is considered an "assault weapon" is merely coincidental, surely it has nothing to do with their relative lethality. Imagine what a strange criterium that would be for a military...Dec 25 2012: There is indeed confusion over the semantics of the issue, but I don't believe the same confusion can be applied to the weapons themselves. I assume that everyone can tell the difference between a hunting rifle and an m16, and its the m16-like weapons that are the issue.

The model is great but my unit isn't.
By Toby
Overall I love this dishwasher and appreciate the features and value for the money. Unfortunately my unit has one roller on the bottom dish tray that isn't quite set correctly and so the whole dish tray would often fall off the track. When I called customer care about this, they had be try bending the metal piece holding the roller out to make it seat better. This worked somewhat but the roller still never quite rolls correctly. It's a shame that my otherwise very positive experience with this model has been soured by this one little plastic piece that should have been caught by your quality control department but now I'm stuck with a less than perfect dishwasher that I'll have to live with for years.

Comments about Frigidaire 24 " Stainless Built In Dishwasher:
We have only had this unit for about a month but it is attractive and cleans well. The one we replaced was also a Fridgidaire and this model is designed better, small vent on the side (that mice cannot enter, fingers crossed) and higher ground clearance for an easier install. I did not put it in because the last one was such a booger. Instead I paid ABT to do it. Best money I ever spent. Their installer was beyond great! I hope this lasts for years but, we'll see.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Ok dishwasher that matches fridge
By MGB
from Chicago suburbs
I bought it to match the fridge. It's an ok dishwasher. Cleans fine and is fairly quiet. The racks are a bit shoddy. They sag forward when pulled out. A bit flimsy. Nothing special but it gets the job done. I recommend it if you want to match the other appliances. Otherwise I would buy something else.

Supplies you will need
- Water
- 1 clear plastic bottle
- Vegetable oil
- Food coloring
- Alka-Seltzer or any sort of tables that fizz
- Fill the clear plastic bottle one quarter of the way full with water
- Fill the bottle with vegetable oil until it is nearly full
- Wait for the oil and the water to separate
- Add about twelve drops of your favorite color food coloring into the bottle
- The food coloring will fall through the oil, drop to the bottom and mix with the water
- Break the Alka-Seltzer tablet into four small pieces
- Add the first piece of Alka-Seltzer to the water and watch the lava begin!
- Once the bubbling stops add more Alka-Seltzer to continue to fun
The science behind the experiment
The oil and water separate because the density of each liquid is different. The oil floats to the top because it has a lower density than water and food coloring do.
The Alka-Seltzer tablets that are dropped in the bottle release small bubbles of carbon dioxide. The bubbles then rise to the top with the water and food coloring. Once the gas escapes, the water goes back to the bottom.

Stocks Swell on Deal to Avert 'Fiscal Cliff'; Dow Surges 308 Points
TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages roared Wednesday as global risk appetite surged on the first trading day of the year after the House managed to pass the Senate's 11th-hour agreement on averting the "fiscal cliff." The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 308 points, or 2.4%, to 13,413. The blue-chip index had its biggest single-day gain since Nov. 19.All 30 components in the Dow traded higher. The top percentage blue-chip gainers were Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Caterpillar (CAT), AT&T (T), Coca-Cola (KO) and Intel (INTC). Hewlett-Packard is evaluating the sale of businesses that don't meet goals more than a year after CEO Meg Whitman said she didn't plan to spin off the PC division, according to a Bloomberg report. Shares advanced 5.1% on Wednesday. Intel's effort to develop an Internet-based TV service and associated hardware is taking longer than expected, people familiar with the company's plans told The Wall Street Journal, in part due to delays in reaching content agreements with media companies. Shares closed up 3.7%. The S&P 500 gained 36 points, or 2.5%, to 1,462. The tech-heavy Nasdaq jumped 93 points, or 3.1%, to 3112. Apple (AAPL - Get Report) shares popped 3.2% as investors anticipate a big rally this year for the tech giant. Facebook (FB) shares jumped 5.2%, lifted by positive analyst sentiment. The vast majority of sectors in the broad market advanced, spearheaded by gains in basic materials, capital goods, technology and financials. Only the health care-sector declined. Volumes were heavy in the session with 4.16 billion shares swapping on the New York Stock Exchange and 2.1 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Advancers were far outpacing decliners by a ratio of 9.7-to-1 on the Big Board and 6.6-to-1 on the Nasdaq. David Bianco and Priya Hariani, market strategists at Deutsche Bank, said that although the "fiscal cliff" deal only covers taxes and pushes the spending issues off for a couple of months, they're "pleased" that it keeps the top dividend and capital-gains tax rates low and equal at 23.8%, and are raising their 12-month S&P 500 target to 1,575 from 1,500. Tax hikes are still set to take place but to a more diluted degree and unemployment benefits will be extended until the end of the year. Planned spending cuts scheduled to kick in this month are to be postponed for two months. "It sets up another showdown within weeks, which has the potential to be even more disruptive given the U.S. debt ceiling must be raised at the same time if technical default is to be avoided," said Gareth Berry, a currency strategist at UBS. "But, for now, the conditions seem right for a moderate celebratory rally in risk assets, however brief, and we would be reluctant to fight this just yet." "Wall Street will likely savor the resolution for the time being, but experience renewed investment agita before the quarter is out, offering better entry levels as the year progresses," said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald noted that the markets seemed to be shrugging off the fact that the U.S. did in fact hit its debt ceiling late on Dec. 31, with no rating agencies having spoken out on U.S. debt following the event. Markets were closed Tuesday for the New Year's Day holiday. The Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday that the ISM Manufacturing Index rose to 50.7 in December from contraction territory at 49.5 in November. Economists expected an increase to 50.3 in December. Paul Ashworth, U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that the deal reached to avert most of the scheduled tax increases could provide a small boost to manufacturers in January, but "it is far from a certainty, particularly when the spending cuts that will hit government contractors hard have only been delayed for a couple of months." The Census Bureau reported that construction spending fell 0.3% in November after rising by a downwardly revised 0.7% in October. Economists had predicted an increase of 0.6% for November. Capital Economics economists noted that while the construction spending data points were disappointing, they shouldn't be cause for too much worry as construction spending numbers are generally a volatile series month to month. Gold for February delivery surged $13 to settle at $1,688.80 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while February crude oil contracts closed up $1.30 at $93.12 a barrel.NEW YORK (

Chitwan National Park
Chitwan National Park
At the foot of the Himalayas, Chitwan is one of the few remaining undisturbed vestiges of the 'Terai' region, which formerly extended over the foothills of India and Nepal. It has a particularly rich flora and fauna. One of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros lives in the park, which is also one of the last refuges of the Bengal tiger.
Parc national de Chitwan
Au pied de l'Himalaya, Chitwan est l'un des rares vestiges non perturbés de la région du « Terai » qui s'étendait sur les piémonts de l'Inde et du Népal. La flore et la faune y sont très denses. Il abrite une des dernières populations de rhinocéros asiatique à une corne et constitue également l'un des derniers refuges du tigre du Bengale.

Nationaal park Chitwan
Chitwan ligt aan de voet van de Himalaya. Het is een van de weinige intact gebleven resten van de regio 'Terai' die zich vroeger uitstrekte over de uitlopers van de Himalaya in India en Nepal. Het heeft een bijzonder rijke flora en fauna. Een van de laatste populaties van enkel-gehoornde Aziatische neushoorns leeft in dit park, dat ook een van de laatste toevluchtsoorden van de Bengaalse tijger is. Het Nationaal park Chitwan is in 1973 opgericht en ligt in het centraal-zuidelijke Terai van Nepal. Het park beslaat een oppervlakte van 93.200 hectare en strekt zich uit over vier districten: Chitwan, Nawalparasi, Parsa en Makwanpur.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Nestled at the foot of the Himalayas, Chitwan has a particularly rich flora and fauna and is home to one of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros and is also one of the last refuges of the Bengal Tiger. Chitwan National Park (CNP), established in 1973, was Nepal's first National Park. Located in the Southern Central Terai of Nepal, it formerly extended over the foothills, the property covers an area of 93,200 hectares, extends over four districts: Chitwan, Nawalparasi, Parsa and Makwanpur.
The park is the last surviving example of the natural ecosystems of the 'Terai' region and covers subtropical lowland, wedged between two east-west river valleys at the base of the Siwalik range of the outer Himalayas. The core area lies between the Narayani (Gandak) and Rapti rivers to the north and the Reu River and Nepal-India international border in the south, over the Sumeswar and Churia hills, and from the Dawney hills west of the Narayani, and borders with Parsa Wildlife Reserve to the east. In 1996, an area of 75,000 hectares consisting of forests and private lands and surrounding the park was declared as a buffer zone. In 2003, Beeshazar and associated lakes within the buffer zone were designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.
Criteria (vii): The spectacular landscape, covered with lush vegetation and the Himalayas as the backdrop makes the park an area of exceptional natural beauty. The forested hills and changing river landscapes serve to make Chitwan one of the most stunning and attractive parts of Nepal's lowlands. Situated in a river valley basin and characterized by steep cliffs on the south-facing slopes and a mosaic of riverine forest and grasslands along the river banks of the natural landscape makes the property amongst the most visited tourist destination of its kind in the region. The property includes the Narayani (Gandaki) river, the third-largest river in Nepal which originates in the high Himalayas and drains into the Bay of Bengal providing dramatic river views and scenery as well as the river terraces composed of layers of boulders and gravels.
The property includes two famous religious areas: Bikram Baba at Kasara and Balmiki Ashram in Tribeni, pilgrimage places for Hindus from nearby areas and India. This is also the land of the indigenous Tharu community who have inhabited the area for centuries and are well known for their unique cultural practices.
Criteria (ix): Constituting the largest and least disturbed example of sal forest and associated communities, Chitwan National Park is an outstanding example of biological evolution with a unique assemblage of native flora and fauna from the Siwalik and inner Terai ecosystems. The property includes the fragile Siwalik-hill ecosystem, covering some of the youngest examples of this as well as alluvial flood plains, representing examples of ongoing geological processes. The property is the last major surviving example of the natural ecosystems of the Terai and has witnessed minimal human impacts from the traditional resource dependency of people, particularly the aboriginal Tharu community living in and around the park.
Criteria (x): The combination of alluvial flood plains and riverine forest provides an excellent habitat for the Great One-horned Rhinoceros and the property is home for the second largest population of this species in the world. It is also prime habitat for the Bengal Tiger and supports a viable source population of this endangered species. Exceptionally high in species diversity, the park harbours 31% of mammals, 61% of birds, 34% of amphibians and reptiles, and 65% of fishes recorded in Nepal. Additionally, the park is famous for having one of the highest concentrations of birds in the world (over 350 species) and is recognized as one of the worlds' biodiversity hotspots as designated by Conservation International and falls amongst WWFs' 200 Global Eco-regions.
The property adequately incorporates the representative biodiversity of the central Terai-Siwalik ecosystem and in conjunction with the adjacent Parsa Wildlife Reserve constitutes the largest and least disturbed example of sal forest and associated communities of the Terai. The park also protects the catchment of the river system within the park and the major ecosystems included are Siwalik, sub-tropical deciduous forest, riverine and grassland ecosystems. The Park boundary is well defined. The ecological integrity of the park is further enhanced by the adjoining Parsa Wildlife Reserve to its eastern boundary and the designation of a buffer zone around the Park that is not part of the inscribed World Heritage Site but provides additional protection and important habitats.
The World Heritage values of the Park have been enhanced as the population of Greater One-horned Rhinoceros and Bengal Tiger have increased (Rhinoceros - around 300 in the 1980s to 503 in 2011 and Tigers 40 breeding adults in the 1980s to 125 breeding adults in 2010). While no major changes in the natural ecosystem have been observed in the recent years the grasslands and riverine habitats of the park have been encroached by invasive species such as Mikania macrantha.
Poaching of endangered one horned rhinoceros for illegal trade of its horn is one pressing threat faced by the park authority, despite the tremendous efforts towards Park Protection. Illegal trade in tiger parts and timber theft are also threats with the potential to impact on the integrity of the property. The traditional dependency of local people on forest resources is well controlled and has not been seen to impact negatively on the property. Human-wildlife conflict remains an important issue and threat that has been addressed through compensation schemes and other activities as part of the implementation of the buffer zone program.
Protection and management requirements
Chitwan National Park has a long history of protection dating back to the early 1800s. It has been designated and legally protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1973. The Nepalese Army has been deployed for park protection since 1975. In addition, Chitwan National Park Regulation, 1974 and Buffer Zone Management Regulation, 1996 adequately ensure the protection of natural resources and people's participation in conservation as well as socio-economic benefits to people living in the buffer zone. This makes Chitwan National Park an outstanding example of Government-Community partnership in biodiversity conservation.
The management of the property is of a high standard and the Government of Nepal has demonstrated that it recognizes the value of the park by investing significant resources in its management. Management activities have been guided by the Management Plan, which should undergo regular updating and revision to ensure key management issues are being addressed sufficiently. The first five year Management Plan (1975-1979) for CNP was prepared in 1974 with an updated plan for 2001-2005 expanded to include CNP and its Buffer Zone along with the provision of three management zones. A subsequent plan covering 2006-2011 covers the Park and the Buffer Zone and streamlines the conservation and management of the property. The maintenance of the long-term integrity of the park will be ensured through continuation of the existing protection strategy with need-based enhancement as well as maintaining intact wildlife habitat through science-based management. Effective implementation of the buffer zone program will continue to address the issues regarding human-wildlife conflicts.
The aquatic ecosystem of the park has been threatened by pollution from point and non-point sources including developments in close proximity to Narayani River. This pollution needs to be controlled with the coordinated efforts of all the stakeholders. The need to maintain the delicate balance between conservation and the basic requirements of people living around the park remains a main concern of the management authority. The need to address issues related to regulation of increasing traffic volume at Kasara bridge, construction of a bridge at Reu River and the underground electricity transmission line for the people living in Madi valley are also concerns.
High visitation and the maintenance of adequate facilities remain an ongoing management issue. As one of the most popular tourist sites in Nepal, due to the ease of wildlife viewing and spectacular scenery and the economic benefit of this is significant. Facilities are a model of appropriate park accommodation with efforts continuing to ensure this is maintained. Poaching of wildlife and vegetation remains an important issue and the most significant threat too many of the species and populations harboured within the park. Ongoing efforts to tackle this problem are required despite already significant attempts to enforce regulations and prevent poaching.
Long Description
Royal Chitwan National Park lies in the lowlands or Inner Terai of southern central Nepal on the international border with India. The park covers 932 km2 of subtropical lowland, wedged between two east-west river valleys at the base of the Siwalik range of the outer Himalayas.
Chitwan is dominated by almost monotypic stands of sal forest which occupy 60% of the total area and is a remnant of the lowland Terai forest which once stretched across the foothills of the Himalayas through India and Nepal. Riverine forest and grasslands form a mosaic along the river banks are maintained by seasonal flooding. On the hills are pines and scattered palms, and moister slopes support bamboos.
Chitwan is situated in a river valley basin or dun, along the flood plains of the Rapti, Reu and Narayani rivers. The Narayani is also called the Gandaki and is the third-largest river in Nepal. It originates in the high Himalaya and, drains into the Bay of Bengal. The Siwaliks show a distinctive fault pattern that has produced steep cliffs on the south-facing slopes, where vegetation cover is poorer than the northern slopes. The flood plains comprise a series of ascending alluvial terraces laid down by the rivers and subsequently raised by Himalayan uplift. The terraces are composed of layers of boulders and gravels set in a fine silty matrix.
The climax vegetation of the Inner Terai is sal forest, which covers some 60% of the park. However, floods, fires and riverine erosion combine to make a continually changing mosaic of grasslands and riverine forests in various stages of succession. Purest stands of sal occur on better drained ground such as the lowlands around Kasra in the centre of the park. Elsewhere, sal is intermingled with chir pine along the southern face of the Churia Hills and with tree species. Creepers are common. The under-storey is scant with the exception of grasses.
The park contains the last Nepalese population (estimated at 400) of the endangered great one-horned Asian rhinoceros which is the second largest concentration of this species to occur after Kaziranga National Park in India. Royal Chitwan is also one of the last strongholds of the Royal Bengal tiger. Other threatened mammals occurring in the park include leopard, wild dog, sloth bear and gaur. Other mammals include sambar, chital, hog deer, barking deer, wild pig, monkeys, otter, porcupine, yellow-throated marten, civet, fishing cat, jungle cat, jackal, striped hyena and Indian fox. Aquatic species include the gangetic dolphin, the mugger crocodile and the endangered gharial.
Prior to its re-introduction to Royal Bardia National Park in 1986, the park contained the last Nepalese population of the Indian rhinoceros. Tiger is present and has been the subject of a long-term study begun in 1974. Over 350 bird species are reported. Himalayan grey-headed fishing eagle and white-back vulture. Ruddy shelduck and bar-headed goose winter on the rivers. The threatened Indian python also occurs within the park, and some 99 fish species inhabit the rivers and oxbow lakes.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
Chitwan was declared a national park in 1973, following approval by the late King Mahendra in December 1970. The bye-laws (Royal Chitwan National Park Regulations) were introduced on 4 March 1974. Substantial additions were made to the park in 1977 and the adjacent Pars a wildlife Reserve was established in 1984. The habitat had been well protected as a royal hunting reserve from 1846 to 1951 during the Rana regime. An area south of the Rapti River was first proposed as a rhinoceros sanctuary in 1958 (Gee, 1959), demarcated in 1963 (Gee, 1963; Willan, 1965) and later incorporated into the national park. Chitwan was designated as a World Heritage site in November 1984.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

You love your wavy hair, but the frizzy fly-aways you get when you brush those curls? Not so much.
Why does hair get frizzy, and do you really need a pile of products to keep it under control? WebMD asked hair care pros and people like you for their top tips on taming frizzy hair.
What Causes Frizzy Hair?
Hair is complex. It's made up of three layers and thousands of cells. But the reason it gets frizzy is pretty simple.
Your hair's outer layer -- the cuticle -- looks kind of like a shingled roof, says dermatologist Carolyn Jacob, MD. When hair is smooth, those shingles lie flat. But when you run a brush through dry, curly hair, those "shingles" lift.
To compound the problem, frizzy hair is often drier, and naturally tends to absorb moisture from humid air, says Dennis Baker, a stylist who owns Baker Lanier Salon and Day Spa in Atlanta. Again, those "shingles" lift.
Fortunately, there are ways to tame the frizz. You just have to give it a little effort.
Frizzy Hair: 12 Quick Tips to Keep Hair Frizz-Free
1. Don't brush dry hair. If there's one tip repeated by just about every expert, it's this: avoid brushing hair after it dries. Brushing not only disrupts your hair's cuticle, it can also stretch hair, leading to breakage.
Instead, Connie Eeyerlin, a stylist at Dionysius Salon in Eugene, Ore., suggests towel drying hair after a shower; brushing, combing, or finger-combing it; adding a touch of your preferred conditioner or anti-frizz product, then just say no to styling with brush or comb.
2. Comb dry hair with wet fingers.If you shouldn't brush, what can you do when humidity or a brisk day leaves your hair a frizzy mess? Water is the key, says Eeyerlin. "The problem with frizzy hair is that it's dry. Water is a basic response to this basic problem." Eeyerlin suggests wetting your hands, then finger-combing to tackle frizz and tame tangles.
3. Tame with a touch of conditioner. To foil her frizz, California archivist Kimber Camacho favors watering down a bit of hair conditioner, then using her hands to apply it to just the tips of her hair.
4. Look for protein in your conditioner suggests dermatologist Jacob. A protein-infused conditioner will not only help you manage frizz, it helps create shine, too.
5. Don't over-process hair. Relaxers and straighteners can make hair brittle and lead to breakage, Jacobs says, so go easy on these products.
6. Put moisture back in your mane. Frizzy hair tends to be drier, so you need to put moisture into it. Use a conditioner, a natural oil, or a frizz cream, says stylist Baker in Atlanta. He says natural oils are better than synthetic because they are absorbed into the hair, while synthetic silicon moisturizers lay on top of the hair, making it appear dirty.
7. Stop 'cooking' your curls. "Anything that would blister your skin doesn't feel so great on your hair either," writes Teri LaFlesh, author of Curly Like Me. To minimize frizz, LaFlesh suggests avoiding flat irons, curling irons, and limiting heat sources to a blow dryer with a diffuser.
8. Use a round brush to smooth your hair. If you spin a round brush through your hair as you blow dry it, it helps smooth the cuticles flat, says Baker.
9. Dry only the roots of your hair. To help reduce the chance of frizzy hair, Eeyerlin suggests blow drying only your roots, it gives hair lift but helps you avoid drying out the hair shaft and hair tips.
10. Go alcohol-free. Because alcohol can dry hair out, setting you up for frizz, look for alcohol-free products. That may mean switching to salon-quality shampoos, conditioners, and hairsprays, says Eeyerlin. "Salon-quality products don't have to last as long on the shelf, so they don't contain as many harsh ingredients -- like alcohol -- as supermarket and drug store products do."
11. Fight afternoon frizz by smoothing hair with a small amount of detangling spray, the kind made for baby hair. Marie Gains, a North Carolina caretaker, says "I spray a smidge of it in my hand and then smooth it down. It's very lightweight and doesn't make your hair look oily."
12. Talk to your stylist. "If what you're using works, use it," suggests stylist Eeyerlin, whether it's a pricey product or a great drug store find. But if you want help in the fight against frizzy hair, remember that your stylist is there to help and probably has a host of hints that'll help keep you frizz-free from morning to night.

The Police Fuse Avant-Garde and the Commercial
The Police have worked hard for their success, but their career strategy has been utterly unconventional. Their music, once a distinctive but constricting blend of reggae rhythms, jazzy harmonies, and exceptional pop songwriting facility, has broadened and deepened. And on their exceptional new album, ''Synchronicity," they have brought all the aspects of their singular pop art into focus.June 26, 1983 artsNews
The Police: English Trio
Reggae rhythms, guitar playing that is orchestral rather than solo-oriented, loosely improvisational group interplay and non-Western influences define the Police's music and distinguish it from the older brands of rock that still command the loyalties of most American rock fans.January 15, 1981 artsReview
The Pop Life: The Police
Two years ago, the Police were crisscrossing America in a van, playing their fresh blend of rock and reggae in nightclubs. Two successful albums, a series of popular singles and an ambitious world tour have established them internationally. But in America they are still classified as ''New Wave,'' which hasn't been the sort of thing apt to fill the Garden.January 9, 1981 artsReview

Six years after his dazzling 2007 debut for McLaren, Lewis Hamilton declared on Thursday that his move to Mercedes for 2013 had made him a happier man and, he hoped, a faster and better driver.
The 28-year-old Briton, who qualified fourth and finished third in his first F1 race and won the drivers' world title in 2008, told a pre-race news conference at the Rolex Australian Grand Prix that he felt "very comfortable" following his team-switch -- with both car and working environment.
"I am comfortable, very comfortable, and we have made some good steps with the car, but there is still a lot of work to do," he explained. "As with any new team that you join, it takes time to settle in, but as time goes on I will be more and more comfortable."
Asked what it was, in particular, that Mercedes had given him to make him feel so much more at ease than he had felt in his final seasons with McLaren, he said it was "time". He added: "More time at home – to train, and be with my family and my friends… That's been good."
Hamilton grew up at McLaren after joining the team as a kart-racing teenager and had seemed destined to stay with them for his entire career before choosing to leave at the end of 2012, a season in which his once excellent relationship with compatriot and team-mate Jenson Button turned sour.
Earlier, talking to reporters, he said he felt that there was a greater focus on a driver at Mercedes than he had experienced and that this suited him.
"We still have sponsors, we still have sponsors' appearances, we still have filming days, so there's no huge difference in how they go about their business," he explained.
"But I think the focus on the driver, the driver's performance, and the driver being ready for the job at hand is one thing that I'm noticing is quite a little bit better here.
"They want me to be as ready as I can be physically and mentally, and want to do everything possible to make sure that everything is taken care of. I really couldn't be happier with them."

Doug Williams may have been the first black quarterback to play in the Super Bowl. But simply making it to the big game as a symbol wasn't enough for the man whose roller-coaster career looked to be over just two years earlier. After ripping the starting job from an inconsistent Jay Schroeder on the eve of the playoffs, Williams capped a remarkable playoff run with a 340-yard, four touchdown performance in a 42-10 dismantling of the AFC Champion Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII, and became, simply, a Super Bowl championship quarterback like all the rest.
Published exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, this amazing print gives you the ultimate look at the legendary Williams, as he unleashes another big pass on that glorious afternoon in San Diego. Printed from the original photographic source, complete with the official Super Bowl XXII logo, and affixed with an official NFL Properties serialized hologram for authenticity, this is both a beauty for your wall, and a valuable collector's item for years to come! Perfect for the wall of home, office, or clubhouse.

Hello All,
Friday I came in to work to find that the Night shift techs had lifted the product conveyor belt and put it on a stack of blocks to raise it up.
These blocks where in the center of the cross member,and the belt was wobbly. Good thing I brought my welder in. I welded the blocks together so that they could be used under the wheels. (see first pict). Filler was 3/32" 70-S2 @ 70 amps.
Then I looked at the light shield made of cardboard and Duct tape. I took a few measurements and cut and welded one from some scrap SS. (see second pict), Filller 3/32" 308L . Still need to drill and mount to the end of the machine.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Here is a thread on the forums that advertises for a daily deal plugin.
Since Magento is written in PHP, I can't imagine it would be too hard for you to adjust the timing to hours instead of days.
There just have Daily deal and [Group deal] extensions. However, with Daily Deal module, you could run a deal in some certain hours in a day. You could check this module more through the demo.

Comments about iDapt iPhone and iPod Tip:
This iPhone Tip is a 30 Pin connector, so it only works with the older iPhone 4s and all older iPhone/iPod that use the 30 pin connectors. it works great, but this is not for the newer iPhone 5 that uses the special Lightning connector. Apple calls the new connector for the iPhone 5 "Lightning", which really means your wallet will tack a zap, because Apple has made these expensive and hard to find.
