How I Turned My Subaru Outback Into a Real Adventuremobile
Shopping for a truck to take off-road, I ended up buying a Subaru Outback, then modifying it to meet my need for dirt. 8,500 miles in, how's it holding up? Pretty damn well, actually.

Those big chunky tires used on mountain bikes don't just help plow through rough terrain and absorb shocks.

Debit, credit cards amongst precious possessions of MH17 victims stolen from site
Credit and debit cards and other precious belongings of MH17 crash victims are allegedly being stolen from the crash site in Eastern Ukraine.
Pro-Russian separatists are accused of stealing their belongings as well as destroying evidences at the site.
The Dutch Banking Association said it had been providing precautionary measures to ensure that stolen cards were not used for personal purposes.
The Dutch Association also said that they would provide compensation to victims' families.
The Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutt said that it was shameless how pro-Russian separatists were stealing precious possessions and roaming aimlessly at the crash site.
According to reports, there was not a single wallet with money, camera or mobile phone at the crash site.
According to news.com.au, Alexander Borodai Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said that local residents may have stolen the victims' belongings.
Passenger possessions are to be returned to their families in such an incident under the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act but Russian separatists are preventing investigators from accessing the site.

Adani Group plans to invest USD 2 bn in Odisha power plant
Gautam Adani plans to invest USD 2 billion to build a 2,500 megawatt power plant in Odisha.
The Gujarat-based Adani Group expects to ink a deal with the Odisha government in the next three-four months to set up a coal-based power plant in the state, a senior company official said Monday.
The conglomerate, which is in resources, logistics, agriculture and energy business, aims to invest Rs.12,500 crore (USD 2 billion) in the Odisha project and has already identified three-four sites in Angul and Dhenkanal districts, its chief operating officer (mining) for Odisha Rajesh Jha told IANS.
Jha said the company wants about 1,500 acres of land and is already exploring the possibilities of water and rail connectivity at the identified sites.
It is likely to finalise one of the sites soon, he said.
The power plant, to be built in phases, will source raw materials from the Machakata and Chendipada coal blocks it is developing in Angul district.
Jha said the company expects to generate 1,000 MW by 2017 and increase the capacity gradually to 2,500 MW by 2019.
The Adani Group is controlled by flagship Adani Entreprises.
Earlier this month, Adani Group acquired a 1,200 MW thermal power plant in Karnataka from Lanco Infratech for about Rs.6,000 crore.

If Ivan were a cat, he'd be down a life.
Instead, he's just one lucky police dog.
Because there was no mistaking it when the Essex Sheriff's Department K-9 located the ditched handgun he was rooting around for in a Lawrence snowbank Saturday.
When his paw hit the trigger, the gun went off.
"Everybody jumped," said Essex Sheriff's Lt. John Pickles, Ivan's handler. "Immediately, everybody was checking themselves."

Net ocean heat content changes are very closely tied to the net radiative imbalance of the planet since the ocean component of the climate system has by far the biggest heat capacity. Thus we have often made the point that diagnosing this imbalance through measurements of temperature in the ocean is a key metric in evaluating the response of the system to changes in CO2 and the other radiative forcings (see here).
In a paper I co-authored last year (Hansen et al, 2005), we compared model results with the trends over the 1993 to 2003 period and showed that they matched quite well (here). Given their importance in evaluating climate models, new reports on the ocean heat content numbers are anticipated quite closely.
Recently, a new preprint with the latest observations (2003 to 2005) has appeared (Lyman et al, hat tip to Climate Science) which shows a decrease in the ocean heat content over those two years, decreasing the magnitude of the long-term trend that had been shown from 1993 to 2003 in previous work (Willis et al, 2004) – from 0.6 W/m2 to about 0.33 W/m2. This has generated a lot of commentary in some circles, but in many cases the full context has not been appreciated.

Anderson County's Relay for Life celebrates its 10th year of its fight against cancer on June 17-18 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. at the American Legion City Park in Lawrenceburg.
The American Cancer Society's premiere event, the Relay for Life, raises funds for cancer research, advocacy and other programs and services, as well as recognizes cancer survivors and their families and friends.
Last year, the Relay for Life raised $100,200 for the American Cancer Society. This year, Relay for Life's goal is to raise $108,000.
The man wanted in connection with the murder of an Anderson County woman was apprehended Wednesday in Goodyear, Ariz., according to a news release from the Kentucky State Police.
An Anderson County Grand Jury on June 7 charged Terrance Cram, 49, with murder, tampering with physical evidence and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Cram allegedly murdered Tena McNeely, 49, on Jan. 3 at her residence on Clay Burgin Road, about 14 miles west of Lawrenceburg.
McNeely apparently rented a room to Cram for about five years.
Final thoughts on the Kentucky-Indiana basketball all-star games ...
1. Anderson County's Glen Drury did a marvelous job getting the Kentucky All-Stars to take on the personality of his Bearcat teams. While they were all-star games, the Kentucky-Indiana summer series is unlike any other. It has defense, no one is guaranteed playing time and it really does mean something to a lot of people.
It was not the Sweet 16, but Anderson County girls' basketball has a state championship under its belt.
The Lady Bearcats rolled through the state AAU tournament, held over the weekend at the Kentucky Basketball Academy in Lexington.
The team played its final three games on Sunday. Anderson's pool play was completed on Friday with the first round of bracket play being played on Saturday.
Glen Drury knew how big the challenge would be when he accepted the job of coaching the 2011 Kentucky All-Stars.
That was back in the fall of 2009. He knew it would require that he work as an assistant coach to Mike Listerman, then of Covington Catholic, last summer before being the man totally in charge.
And he also knew that the Indiana Class of 2011 was loaded.
His crop? Better than average, perhaps.
LOUISVILLE – When asked if there were any tears in the Kentucky All-Stars' locker room Friday night, Coach Glen Drury simply said, "Mine."
It was not an unexpected response from Drury, who had poured his heart and soul into a high school basketball all-star game. Indeed, Drury could be seen mouthing the words of "My Old Kentucky Home" as one of his former players, David Young, sang prior to the first game of the summer series with Indiana.
The Central Kentucky Mudcats have opened their summer baseball season by splitting the first four games on the schedule.
The local 15-and-under travel team dropped its first two games of the year, losing both to the Louisville Cyclones, but rallied to sweep a pair of games at Boyd County.
Challenger Sports has been invited to hold a soccer camp in Lawrenceburg.
Anderson Independent Youth Soccer has teamed up to host the week-long British Soccer Camp, June 20-24, at AIYSA soccer fields at Anderson County Community Park.
The camp will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challenger's team of 1,000 British soccer coaches.
Indiana went on a 13-0 run early in the second half, then held off a spirited Kentucky rally to post a 94-82 win at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday night.
Indiana All-Americans Cody Zeller, headed to Indiana University, Branden Dawson (Michigan State) and Marquis Teague (Kentucky) led the Hoosiers to their third consecutive sweep in the series. Louisville Western's Ryan Taylor, who has committed to Louisville, but has not qualified yet, paced Kentucky with 24 points.
When one takes a look at Jason Booher's meteoric rise to the top of the high school basketball coaching ranks, it is hard to imagine his first game with everything riding on it.
Go back to Feb. 23, 1999. Anderson County was playing Henry County in the semi-final round of the 30th District Tournament at Shelby County High School.

California Strawberry Festival begins Saturday in Oxnard
Get clued in to the 31st annual California Strawberry Festival in Oxnard
On Nov. 22, 2013, Oxnard bumped up its nationwide credibility. "Oxnard" was the answer to 2-Down in The New York Times crossword puzzle.
The clue was "City that hosts the California Strawberry Festival." With the 31st festival coming up this weekend, we decided to get in touch with the puzzle's creator to find out how he decided to include the city and its signature fest in such an illustrious daily game.
Was it because the puzzle maker's last name is — get this — Berry? (His full name is Patrick Berry.) Had he been on a trip to SoCal and stumbled upon the city by the sea with the giant stucco Santa? Is he a Dallas Cowboys fan? Does he like strawberries, shortcake or the doll that combines both?
Alas, none of those answers would be correct.
Berry, reached via email at his home in Athens, Georgia, replied, "The main reason I used Oxnard is because it happened to fit! I was already vaguely familiar with the town, though I don't know how. I only found out about the strawberry festival when I went to write the clue: I Googled 'Oxnard' and that was one of the interesting factoids that popped up."
People who deconstruct crosswords in online forums (and must have lots of spare time) argued that Oxnard was too obscure.
Berry, a longtime puzzle creator and author of "Crossword Puzzle Challenges for Dummies" and other books, provided the following reasons for using Oxnard as an answer: "(1) I've heard of it, so it can't be entirely obscure; (2) It's got a population of 200,000-plus people; (3) The town name contains a rare letter, X, which makes it more interesting; (4) It's appearing in a Friday puzzle, so answers are allowed to be a little more difficult; and (5) All of the entries that cross it seem familiar, so anyone who's completely stumped by OXNARD should still be able to fill it in from the crossings." (Like 1-Across, with the clue "Milk additive." Answer: "Bosco.")
Despite Berry's dashing our hopes that crossword-smiths create clues and answers that refer only to esteemed people, places and things rather than words with the most useful letters, Oxnard deserves its reputation as proud host of the California Strawberry Festival, which attracts people from all over the state. They come, of course, for the fruit, but also for the shortcake and whipped cream, music of all kinds, cool sea breezes, sticky contests, cooking demonstrations, shopping, kids' activities and opportunities to meet Strawberry Shortcake.
Here's your guide to the 2014 festival.
The berry necessities
Time: 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Place: Strawberry Meadows of College Park, adjacent to Oxnard College, 3250 S. Rose Ave., Oxnard.
Cost: $12 adults and teens; $8 seniors and active military with ID; $5 children 5-12; free for kids 4 and younger. Advance tickets available at http://www.strawberry-fest.org.
Clue in to contests
Gluttony is no sin at the Strawberry Festival, and can instead win you prizes and/or a sugary whipped-cream facial.
Stack: New this year is the Strawberry Shortcake Build Off contest, in which four contestants have three minutes to create the tallest strawberry shortcake, 10:45 a.m., 12:45 and 2:45 p.m. daily.
Throw: Returning is the Strawberry Tart Toss, where people poke their heads out of a strawberry cutout while someone throws a tart at them, 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily.
Wear: The Berry Best Strawberry Hat Contest, for ages 18 and older, features strawberries on heads rather than on faces; contestants will parade their berry-themed bonnets at 3 p.m. daily on the Festival Stage. (Sign up by 2 p.m.)
Devour: The Strawberry Pie Eating Contest sounds straightforward, but the catch is that you have to eat the pie without utensils, 1 and 4 p.m. daily.
Speed: The Strawberry Relay is a timed team race in which participants maneuver through obstacles to collect ingredients for a strawberry creation that their teammates must gobble up, 5 p.m. daily.
Gush: For the Berry Best Dressed Baby Contest, kids 4 and younger wear berry attire, with parades of cuteness on the Family Fun Stage at 3:30 p.m. daily. (Check in by 2:30 p.m.)
Grill: During the Berry Blast Off Recipe Contest at the Strawberry Promenade, two chef finalists will prepare their no-bake strawberry dishes during a timed challenge, 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Kate Evans of Oxnard will make her Strawberry Spinach Salad with Grilled Cilantro Lime Shrimp, Peppered Glazed Pecans and Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette; and Linda Quan of Los Angeles will prepare Spicy Strawberry Five Spice Chicken Wings. The grand prize is a stay at a Welk Resort in San Diego, Palm Springs, Cabo San Lucas or Branson, Missouri, and a set of knives.

WEDNESDAY, May 28, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Children who eat a Mediterranean-style diet are less likely to be overweight or obese than other youngsters, a new study suggests.
Kids who closely followed a diet rich in fish, nuts, grains, vegetables and fruits -- the so-called Mediterranean diet -- were 15 percent less likely to be overweight or obese than those who did not follow that type of diet, the researchers found. This was true regardless of age, sex, wealth or country.
Researchers looked at the weight and eating habits of more than 9,000 children in eight countries: Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Sweden. The youngsters' weight and body fat were checked at the start of the study and again two years later.
Swedish children scored highest and those in Italy were second in terms of following a Mediterranean-style diet, while youngsters in Cyprus were least likely to follow the diet, according to Dr. Gianluca Tognon of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and colleagues.
"The promotion of a Mediterranean dietary pattern is no longer a feature of Mediterranean countries," the researchers said. "Considering its potential beneficial effects on obesity prevention, this dietary pattern should be part of [European Union] obesity prevention strategies and its promotion should be particularly intense in those countries where low levels of adherence are detected."
The study was scheduled for presentation Tuesday at the European Congress on Obesity in Bulgaria. Until they're published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, findings presented at meetings are usually considered preliminary.

The Hotmail team blogged about email aliases earlier this year – I didn't know either technique was available, so thought I'd republish the ADHD version here.
Ultra-short version: You can add a tag (essentially) to your hotmail email address and use Sweep (mail rules) to manage emails to that address, or you can create a full-blown additional email address.
Let's say your email was email@example.com (Aside: why example.com and not hotmail.com? Cos I don't want anyone getting spammed when a bot reads this post)
email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
See the Hotmail feature docs for more details.
Hotmail allow 5 aliases to be created each year (to a max of 15) – essentially, new, linked email addresses.
So the person getting this one would have no clue it's in any way related to your preposterousexample address.
Nice. Not sure how I'll use it yet. Possibly forgreatevil(@example.com).

HIGHLANDS, N.J. - Federal wildlife officials are convinced science is on their side in the decision to leave a group of bottlenose dolphins in a frigid New Jersey river over the winter, even if it means they die.But they didn't count on the 'Flipper factor': An intense, emotional attachment many people have toward dolphins, the highly intelligent, social mammals whose facial anatomy makes them look like they're smiling. When science and sentiment collide, the result is what has been playing out at the Jersey shore since June - a battle over whether wild animals need humans' help to survive, or whether they should be left alone to let nature take its course. 'They're like children,' said Marlene Antrim of Hazlet, of the animals. She has circulated 'Save The Dolphins!' fliers in businesses near the Shrewsbury River, north of Asbury Park and the central Jersey shore. 'They're frightened.' Three dolphins are known to have died so far, and only five of the original 16 have remained in the Shrewsbury. Officials of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say the other eight possibly returned to the open sea on their own, but they have no way to know for sure. The head of a marine mammal rescue group said Monday he's afraid the last five may have died. Ice has increased in the Shrewsbury and Navesink rivers, and no one has seen the dolphins since Thursday, said Bob Schoelkopf, co-director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine. He said they were emaciated and weak when he saw them last Tuesday. "I don't think they're alive anymore,' he said Monday. 'We probably won't see them until the spring when they wash up somewhere.' NOAA has long said that trying to move the dolphins has its own risks and probably wouldn't ensure the animals' survival. Critics fear a repeat of 1993, when four dolphins died in the river when ice closed in on them and they drowned.

A Rutherford County woman convicted of first degree premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit first degree murder was told that her appeal has been denied. The denial was filed by the courts on Tuesday, April 22.
Mindy S. Dodd was sentenced to life in prison plus 25-years after she took part in the murder of Sherman Henry Dodd, her step father. Mindy Dodd was reportedly impregnated by Sherman Dodd, who was later her husband. Sherman Dodd's nephew, James Smallwood, was the one who reportedly pulled the trigger to kill his uncle. Mindy Dodd supplied the nephew with the gun that killed the uncle. Smallwood said it was Dodd's idea to kill her husband, according to past court documents.
One of the reasons Dodd asked for a new trial is because she claims that new evidence has arisen in her case. However, she waited too long to file the appeal on the grounds of new evidence. Dodd also suggested that she may have suffered from Battered Women's Syndrome, but the courts suggested she was aware of that at the time of her previous trial.
Dodd will remain behind bars for the remainder of her life unless she is paroled in the future. Dodd is 46 and will be 86 when she is eligible for parole.
Smallwood is 37-years old and will be 78 when he is eligible for parole.

A study led by researchers at the University of Illinois reveals how a cellular protein recognizes an invading virus and alerts the body to the infection.
The research, described this week in the journal Science and led by Illinois physics professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Taekjip Ha, settles a debate over how the protein, RIG-I (pronounced rig-EYE), is able to distinguish between viral RNA and self (or cellular) RNA.
"RIG-I is the first molecule in the immune response to detect viral RNA," said Sua Myong, lead author on the study and a professor at the U. of I.'s Institute for Genomic Biology. Unlike most other proteins known to detect viral infections only in specialized immune cells, RIG-I is active in every cell type in the body, she said.
The RIG-I protein has two major parts: caspase-recruitment domains (CARDs) and an ATPase domain that consumes ATP, the cellular fuel molecule.
Previous studies had shown that the CARD domains actually inhibit the activity of RIG-I when no virus is present, but are vital to sounding the alarm and triggering an immune response once a certain type of virus has been detected.
Other studies had found that RIG-I recognizes an important feature of viral RNAs that is missing from most human RNAs. This feature, a "triphosphate" tag at a particular end, the "five-prime" (5') end, of viral RNA, is a viral fingerprint that tells RIG-I that something is amiss. Detection of this tag starts a cascade of reactions that allows RIG-I to broadcast a message to other cellular components, and ultimately to other cells.
The researchers also knew that RIG-I was usually active in the presence of double-stranded RNA, not the single-stranded RNA found in most animal cells.
Earlier research had also shown that the central ATPase domain is critical to the function of the molecule. A single mutation in this region shuts down its activity altogether.

Well, in making hand coatings, I usually stress how the emulsion is made and coated and don't delve too deeply into keeping. Although the emulsions keep for up to 1 year with no appreciable change and the coatings keep for up to a year with no appreciable change, there are things you should know about "real" products which will influence your work.
All real products have an overcoat. This overcoat is needed in machine coatings due to the fact that the winding operation at the end of the machine causes cinching of the film or paper and abrasion. Both of these can cause scratch marks and fog. Also, there are some things best not placed in the emulsion layer during coating, but rather are placed in the overcoat.
So, here goes.
An overcoat is used to insulate the emulsion layer from cinching caused fog and scratches. It is NOT needed for hand coatings because there is no rough abrasion of front to back surfaces during the winding process, but on a machine you are required to have either 2 coating stages or a C2 multi hopper coating stage for B&W or color products.
In addition, lubricants are added to the top layer to help eliminate any cinching that may take place.
But, in addition, this top coat may contain hardener, antioxidants, buffers and mattting agents. The hardener was added to the overcoat because in many cases, hardeners such as formalin were reducing agents which could fog the emulsion. Adding formalin to the overcoat reduced hold induced fog.
Antioxidants and buffers were added as preservatives and could not be added to the emulsions in some cases due to the possible effects of pH shock on a hot emulsion or the fact that antioxidants were not good during the hold.
Matting agents were used to create just the desired surface and so had to be on top.
Well, there you have a minor introduction to overcoats and things not really brought to the fore before in this forum.

WASHINGTON - With smiles and handshakes, President Bush and his wife, Laura, quietly welcomed Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, to the White House Wednesday.
The royal couple made a low-key entrance to the nation's capital.
"I'm still here. I'm alive," Charles replied dryly when a British reporter asked how the trip was going so far.
There were no military bands, no pomp and ceremony. Just the president and first lady waiting in the White House driveway when a limousine pulled up at the South Portico carrying the prince and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Plenty of pageantry awaited the pair at dinner, however.
Charles was first out of the car with a handshake for Bush. Camilla exited the other side of the limousine and came around the back with a handshake for Mrs. Bush. There were no air kisses or hugs. Bush and the prince patted each other on the back. Camilla was overheard to say "fabulous" about something.
After posing for pictures, the quartet went into the White House for a lunch featuring watercress soup, lemon sole, asparagus and tomatoes, salad and apple sorbet. The table was set with Truman China.
There was a small guest list for lunch: the president's mother, Barbara, his sister, Doro, and her husband, Robert Koch, and the president's brother, Marvin, and his wife Margaret. Also, Sir David Manning, the British ambassador to the United States, and his wife, Lady Catherine, and Robert Tuttle, the American ambassador to Britain, and his wife, Maria.
Bush and his wife were giving their guests gifts of custom-made leather saddles. The horn of Charles' saddle features the crest for the Prince of Wales and Camilla's has the crest for the Duchess of Cornwall.
The day's main event was the White House dinner - a black-tie affair attended by Washington's political, academic and business elite. The president, who is known to prefer early nights, has hosted only five formal White House dinners for world leaders since taking office in 2001.
About 130 people were expected for dinner in the State Dining Room on the White House's grand main floor. The menu and guest list were both being kept under wraps by the White House - as was any potential embarrassment over the prince's passionate environmentalism.
Neither the White House nor Charles' office would say whether the prince planned to raise the issue of global warming, which he recently called "terrifying." Bush's refusal to sign the Kyoto climate-change accord has angered many environmentalists.
Asked if the president wanted to discuss climate change, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said before the visit that Bush "looks forward to the visit. He's glad to talk about whatever issues Prince Charles may want to bring up."
The royal couple began their weeklong trip Tuesday in New York, visiting ground zero and the United Nations and mingling with celebrities at a glitzy Museum of Modern Art reception.
The trip - the couple's first joint overseas tour since marrying in April - is designed both to promote trans-Atlantic ties and to glamorize the resolutely middle-aged royals.
At the MOMA reception, Charles told guests, including Sting and Donald Trump, he was pleased "to celebrate the long-standing and very special links between our two countries."
To the delight of guests, the 56-year-old prince referred to Camilla as "my darling wife."
The reception did not exactly reach the frenzy that welcomed Charles 20 years ago on a U.S. tour that saw his radiant wife, the late Princess Diana, dancing with John Travolta at a White House dinner.
Earlier Tuesday, Charles attended a round-table with Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the United Nations.
Small but enthusiastic crowds greeted the couple as they began their trip by paying tribute to victims of the Sept. 11 attacks at ground zero before unveiling the cornerstone to a memorial garden nearby for the 67 Britons killed that day.
At a reception for supporters of the garden project, the prince said he and his wife were "profoundly moved by what we saw - not just the scale of the outrage but the deeply distressing individual stories of heroism and of loss."
The U.S. tour is part of a careful palace plan to win acceptance for the duchess, long reviled in the British press - and among Diana-philes - as the woman who broke up the royal romance.
"There were three of us in that marriage," Diana told a television reporter in 1995.
Charles and Diana divorced in 1996; Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris the following year.

(Harry How/Getty Images)The agent for Ricky Nolasco said Thursday the free-agent right-hander has received multiple four-year contract offers, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.Nolasco also has received multiple three-year offers, the agent told Jeff Passan.The 30-year-old entered the market slotted by many to be a notch below marquee free agents such as Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana. Multi-year offers to the likes of Nolasco, whose 3.70 ERA in 2013 is well below his career average 4.37 ERA, could foretell blockbuster offers for better pitchers."I believe the market for multiple-year starting pitching will start to reveal itself more clearly in the next two to three weeks," agent Matt Sosnick said, and that market is a bullish reflection of how revenue growth in the game is trickling down to players.While Sosnick declined to name the teams or size of the contracts, one league source said he believed the starting price on Nolasco "is Edwin Jackson money" (four years, $52 million) and "may end up at Derek Lowe" (four years, $60 million).VERDUCCI: 10 veteran pitchers who might have some mileage left Nolasco is 81-72 with 1,076 strikeouts, 306 walks and 153 home runs allowed in 1,312 2/3 innings over eight seasons. He was traded to the Dodgers in July for their pennant drive after beginning his career with the Marlins. Promoted Stories Comments

Stepfather of Port St. Lucie teen killed in hit-and-run calls for justice
PORT ST. LUCIE — Tears ran down Gustavo Arzuaga's face Wednesday as he said anyone who'd leave after striking a person with a vehicle has no heart.
"If I do that to an animal, I would stop and I'd take it to be assisted, never mind a human being," Arzuaga said. "You can't be a human being if you do such a thing. You've got to be somebody from a different planet."
Arzuaga, 53, spoke of the April 7 crash in which Port St. Lucie police say a hit-and-run driver struck his 18-year-old stepdaughter, Dayanna Gil, as she walked to her school bus stop. Gil, a Port St. Lucie High School senior, died a week later.
"This was a crime and this crime is going to have to have an end to it. She just didn't die for no reason," Arzuaga said. "There's got to be a reason and I'm going to find out the reason until the day this person pays for what she did to my daughter."
Within hours of the crash on Southwest Lucero Drive, police hauled away a Nissan Sentra investigators say struck Gil.
The day after Gil's death, police arrested the woman accused of driving the Nissan and leaving after the crash, 46-year-old Ivette Nieves-Barsuglia. She was arrested on vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury charges, and was released on bail.
Arzuaga said if the driver stopped, the situation would have been different.
"We're human beings, we got our moments that we can make a mistake, but a mistake like that or an accident like that, the right thing to do for any human being is to assist," Arzuaga said, sitting in the family's home on Southwest Empire Street.
Nieves-Barsuglia's residence is about one-third mile east of the crash scene, itself a short walk from Arzuaga's home.
Arzuaga said Gil, a native of Colombia who came here about five years ago, has four sisters and a brother.
Pink and purple were her favorite colors and she loved Hello Kitty. He said she wanted to join the U.S. Air Force and become a veterinarian. Sasha Marie, a tiny mixed breed pooch that Gil adored, stayed close while Arzuaga spoke.
"When she had something in mind, she could accomplish it, one way or the other," Arzuaga said.
Gil, he said, was a responsible young woman, who helped people. She cut the grass and even spread mulch in the backyard — "wheelbarrow and all."
"She was well aware of how to walk on the streets," Arzuaga said. "She was really aware of how to walk back and forth and on the days that she didn't feel comfortable I used to drive her to school."
Arzuaga said sidewalks and lights are needed, and stressed the need for change.
"If we can change our president every four years, (darn) right we can change the district,'' he said. "Let's change the hours. ... It's not going to keep our kids 100 percent safe but at least it will give us a little piece of mind."

In a unanimous decision written by Justice Thomas, the Supreme Court held that naturally-occurring DNA sequences are unpatentable. The Court has long held that certain subject matter is not patent eligible under 35 USC § 101. Patent exempt subject matter includes laws of nature, natural phenomenon, and abstract ideas. In this case, the Court found that human genes are products of nature. The Court further found that cDNA sequences, which are copies of non-intron containing mRNA sequences created in the laboratory, are patent eligible.
The case before the Court involved several patents issued to Myriad Genetics, Inc. ("Myriad") that were directed to two genes known as BRCA1 and BRCA2. Mutations in these genes can increase a woman's risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. The scientists at Myriad had discovered the genes, determined their nucleotide sequence and their chromosomal location. The Court found that locating and isolating the genes did not make them new compositions of matter. The Court acknowledged that the genes were important and useful, but nevertheless concluded that "Myriad did not create or alter any of the genetic information encoded in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The location and order of the nucleotides existed in nature before Myriad found them." Thus, the "genes and the information they code are not patent eligible under § 101 simply because they have been isolated from the surrounding genetic material."

Anti-abortion movements
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2015)
Anti-abortion movements are involved in the abortion debate advocating against the practice of abortion and its legality. Many anti-abortion movements began as countermovements in response to legalization of elective abortions.
By some, especially in the media, the terms used in the debate are seen as political framing: they are terms used to validate one's own stance while invalidating the opposition's. For example, the labels "pro-choice" and "pro-life" imply endorsement of widely held values such as liberty and freedom, while suggesting that the opposition must be "anti-choice" or "anti-life" (alternatively "pro-coercion" or "pro-death").[1] The Associated Press favors the terms "abortion rights" and "anti-abortion" instead.[2] However, for the "anti-abortion" movement, the term "pro-life" is more than a label (and the same perhaps could be said for the "abortion rights/pro-choice" movement as well). Some in the "pro-life" movement may view the term "anti-abortion" as an inaccurate media label in of itself. For example, not all who would describe themselves as "pro-life" are opposed to abortion if the life of the mother is in certain danger. Also for many in the "Pro-life" movement, the word "life" reflects the core value and truth for which they sincerely believe their causes represents.[3] For many of them, 'life, transcends mere political labels. For it is not only their belief but also their understanding based on biology that a human life begins before birth (i.e. at conception) and that human life is valuable and worthy of protection at all stages (for further reading on self-definition and use of labels see: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/363808/whats-pro-life-anyway-interview and http://www.catholic365.com/article/495/prolife-vs-antiabortion.html).
Around the world[edit]
In Europe, abortion has been legalized through parliamentary acts. In Western Europe this has had the effect at once of both more closely regulating the use of abortion, and at the same time mediating and reducing the impact anti-abortion campaigns have had on the law.[4]
The first specifically pro-life organization in France, Laissez-les-vivre-SOS futures mères, was created in 1971 during the debate that was to lead to the Veil Law in 1975. Its main spokesman was the geneticist Jérôme Lejeune. Since 2005, the French pro-life movement has organized an annual March for Life.[5]
United Kingdom[edit]
In the United Kingdom, the most prominent pro-life organization is the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children. It was formed to "uphold the principle of respect for human life, in particular the life of the unborn child" at the time of the passage of the 1967 Abortion Act which liberalized abortion law. It was the first such organization in the world.[6]
There are two major pro-life groups in the Republic of Ireland, Pro Life Campaign and Youth Defence.
In Liechtenstein an application to legalize abortions was rejected by a slim majority in a referendum in 2011. The opponents, which included Prince Alois, got 500 votes more and eventually settle at 52.3 percent compared with 47.7 percent.[7]
Prince Alois had announced the use of his veto in advance if necessary to prevent the introduction of abortion.[8]
In Spain, over one million demonstrators took part in a march in Madrid in October 2009 to protest plans by the government of José Luis Zapatero to legalize elective abortions and eliminate parental consent restrictions.[9]
In 2010 1,067,315 Spaniards signed a petition against the liberal abortion policy of the socialist government. The petition was launched by the organizations "Derecho a vivir" (right to life) and "Hazteoir" (Let your voice be heard).[10]
United States[edit]
The United States pro-life movement formed as a response to the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. A smaller movement is the consistent life ethic which started in 1983 and opposes all forms of killing including abortion.
The Canadian organization Canada Silent No More advocates legislation prohibiting late-term and partial birth abortions.[11]
In Israel, the major pro-life organization is Efrat.[12] Efrat activists primarily raise funds to relieve the "financial and social pressures" on pregnant women so that they will not terminate their pregnancies.[13] Efrat is not known to do any other kind of activism.[12]
The Chilean movement it's called Siempre por la Vida (always for the life)

Lawsuit Loan - Lawsuit Funding: Plaintiff involved in an employment lawsuit can use the potential lawsuit settlement as collateral to get a non-recourse settlement loan.
(PRWEB) May 21, 2010 -- Easy Lawsuit Funding has now become the leading provider of lawsuit funding or lawsuit loan on most types of pending employment discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuits.
Lawsuit loan provided by Easy Lawsuit Funding is a contingent transaction in which cash loan is advanced based solely on the merits of pending litigation. In layman language these are called lawsuit loans, but in true sense, these are not loans because the money does not have to be paid back unless the case is won or settled.
Lawsuit funding is considered a secured non-recourse debt due to the fact if the lawsuit reaches a final verdict in favor of the defendant the loan is forgiven. The plaintiff is absolved from payment of lawsuit loan debt. This is non-recourse lawsuit settlement loan, which you pay back only if you win or settle the case.
Easy Lawsuit Funding offers lawsuit loan or lawsuit funding to plaintiffs involved in most types of employment discrimination or wrongful termination lawsuits, including the following:
- Age Discrimination
- Racial Discrimination
- Sexual Harassment
- Gender or Sex Discrimination
- Sexual Orientation Discrimination
- Disability Discrimination
- Religious Discriminatio
