Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine are investigating the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). "We are currently profiling miRNAs in T and B cells deriving from the lupus-prone tri-congenic mouse model, B6.Sle123," says Marianthi Kiriakidou, M.D., associate professor.
The miRNA from these mice is compared to that of a control mouse strain. Since the disease in SLE mice evolves as they age, Dr. Kiriakidou says they also study and compare the miRNA signature among younger and older SLE mice. So far, several miRNAs have been identified that are regulated in SLE mice.
Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that can potentially affect every organ. "At the molecular level, our understanding of the mechanisms affected in SLE is limited. Changes in the expression of miRNAs, a defected link in the molecular chain that each of these pathways represents, will serve as a marker to trace these pathways, offering new insights into the pathogenesis of lupus."
In order to further understand what's occurring on the molecular level, Dr. Kiriakidou says her lab is also focusing on the biology of the miRNAs and proteins of the Argonaute family that associate with miRNAs in forming microRNPs—the functional units in the miRNA pathway. "Proteins that form the microRNPs are the effectors of the microRNA-mediated gene silencing," she explains. Ongoing studies include in vitro studies using recombinant mouse Ago2, with the goal to characterize the RNA binding and catalytic and translational repressive activity of mammalian Ago2. "Our goal is to probe the function and contribution of miRNAs in an autoimmune disease model," Dr. Kiriakidou summarizes.
Scientists in the miRNA field believe these molecules hold great promise, as more studies confirm miRNA profiling holds potential to distinguish cancer from normal tissues. Once thought as useless noncoding RNAs, miRNAs are advancing to perhaps revolutionize disease therapeutics and diagnostics. These may well turn out to be the next magic bullet in medicine's arsenal.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

text: Steve, Thx for clearing up my misconceptions about the intentions behind the FG project; I guessed wayyyy wrong. :) Re the Glut and prime time, please understand I am just reporting the impression I got while looking for a cross-platform solution. Not to argue with the success you and John are enjoying, but just so you know I am not inititiating misinformation, here is what influenced me: From: http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/glut.html "GLUT is designed for constructing small to medium sized OpenGL programs. While GLUT is well-suited to learning OpenGL and developing simple OpenGL applications, GLUT is not a full-featured toolkit so large applications requiring sophisticated user interfaces are better off using native window system toolkits like Motif. GLUT is simple, easy, and small. " And from the Glut manual under Design Philosophy: "GLUT is designed for simple to moderately complex programs focused on OpenGL rendering. " That is not too pessimistic, but it seemed to confirm the caveat on OpenGL.org. Thx for the lead on alternatives, which I have looked at before. I did not see a MacGTk, tho. Maybe I'll look at FLTK if FG does not work out, but so far so good on the latter. kt -- kenny tilton clinisys, inc http://www.tilton-technology.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------- "Cells let us walk, talk, think, make love and realize the bath water is cold." -- Lorraine Lee Cudmore

Boeing Says Asia-Pacific Region Needs 185,600 Pilots
Boeing Co., the world's second-biggest planemaker, said about 185,600 new pilots will be needed in the Asia-Pacific region within the next two decades as economic growth encourages more people to travel by air.
China will lead growth in the region, with 71,300 pilots in demand through 2030, Boeing said in a statement today. The region will also need an additional 243,500 technicians in the period, with 99,400 in China, it said.
"Asia is where the growth is," Bob Bellitto, global sales director for Boeing's flight services, said at a briefing in Singapore. "We can sell new airplanes, but if we don't have enough people to maintain them or people to fly them, they're going to sit on the ground."
Boeing forecasts demand for pilots and technicians will be the greatest in Asia-Pacific markets as the region will get 12,030 planes of the 34,000 to be delivered in the period. Singapore Airlines Ltd.'s SilkAir unit and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. are among carriers that are expanding their fleet.
The global airline industry may post net income of $3 billion in 2012, of which $2 billion is forecast for Asia-Pacific carriers, according to the International Air Transport Association. Travel demand in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to rise 3.9 percent this year, compared with 2.3 percent in Europe, it said in June.
Europe will get 7,760 planes through 2030, while North America will receive 7,290, Boeing said.
Airbus SAS is the world's largest maker of airplanes.

Making Sure College Is Worth The Cost By Anya Kamenetz • Sep 11, 2015 The US News & World Report Best Colleges rankings, the leaderboard of competitive college admissions, are out this week. And all this week on All Things Considered, we've been talking with students who graduated from high school in Montgomery County, Md., four or five years ago. Free Freshman Year? Texas State Hopes To Try It Out By Matthew Watkins of The Texas Tribune • Sep 10, 2015 Callie Richmond / Texas Tribune The Texas State University System has an idea for future students busy with families and jobs: Don't even show up on campus freshman year. Starting next fall, the system plans to encourage nontraditional students to take free massive open online courses, known as MOOCs, before they arrive on campus. If they take 10 courses and pass tests for college credit, students could show up at school with a year's work complete before paying a single tuition bill. Why Are Colleges Really Going Test-Optional? By Cory Turner • Sep 3, 2015 It's an increasingly popular move in higher education. Hundreds of schools no longer require student applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores. In July, George Washington University became the latest school to throw its considerable weight behind the test-optional movement. Its explanation: State Asks Supreme Court to Drop School Finance Lawsuit By Kiah Collier of The Texas Tribune • Sep 1, 2015 Die4kids / CC "Money isn't pixie dust" when it comes to improving public schools, lawyers for the state of Texas told the state Supreme Court on Tuesday, arguing an appeal in what has been described as the most far-reaching school finance case in state history. They urged the high court to either dismiss or remand the lawsuit brought four years ago by nearly two-thirds of the state's school districts. School Finance Explained: A Look at the 30-Year Battle Over Texas Public Schools By Kate McGee, KUT News & Kate McGee, KUT News • Sep 1, 2015 The system Texas uses to pay for public schools was back in court today, and lawyers on both sides argued over whether the system is constitutional. It's an argument that's been going on for more than thirty years. This particular case started in 2011, when the state legislature cut more than $5 billion from public education. Two-thirds of Texas school districts sued the state, arguing the cuts made it impossible to meet state academic standards. They won in a lower court. But today, the case was argued in the state Supreme Court. Listen Listening... / Listen to the story. Pages« first ‹ previous … 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 … next › last »

Soccer star and international model David Beckham is mourning the death of his grandfather, who lost his battle with a serious illness on Wednesday (02Dec09).
Joseph West was 83.
Beckham has previously credited West, his mother Sandra's father, for inspiring him to play soccer as a youngster.
A spokesperson for the Beckham family reveals the sports star learned the sad news shortly after arriving in Cape Town, South Africa to represent England in a televised programme for the 2010 World Cup competition, which will air on Friday (04Dec09).
He is expected to stay in the country for work commitments, before travelling to Britain for the funeral.
In August (09), David and his wife Victoria jetted to England from their home in Los Angeles to be with West after he was taken into a U.K. hospital.

Fourteen years after its release on the Gamecube, Resident Evil 0 is reborn on current-gen hardware, sporting remastered graphics, a playable Albert Wesker, and optional revamped controls! But is it enough to warrant digging up this classic game's grave, or would Capcom have done well to let Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen rest in peace? Drag your sorry corpse over the jump to find out in our full review!
Anyone who wants to experience the partner-swapping, inventory-managing madness of Resident Evil 0 can now do so in HD on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. The digital version is available for $19.99, or you can get it as part of the Resident Evil Origins Collection on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which includes the HD Resident Evil, for $39.99. Launch trailer after the jump.
Resident Evil's 20th anniversary is coming up in 2016, as is the remastered release of Resident Evil 0. Thus we have the perfect opportunity to look back at the series' history, and Capcom has us covered with a pair of "The History of Resident Evil in Under 5 Minutes" videos. Hit the jump for more.
Famitsu shared a new preview of Resident Evil 0, focusing exclusively on the new Wesker Mode that fittingly puts you in the boots of Albert Wesker. Watch six minutes of the villain busting out his unique moves after the jump.
Digital pre-orders went live for the remastered version of Resident Evil 0 this week, so Capcom announced the official release date along with info on pre-order bonus costumes for Rebecca and Billy. Resident Evil 0 hits PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC on January 19, 2016 for $19.99. Hit tge jump for more.
It seems Capcom had to clear up some mild confusion about the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake following a statement from its investor report. An English version, which appears to have been updated since, previously had the report calling it a "remaster," but Capcom confirmed that the new Resident Evil 2 is actually a "full from the ground up remake."

Skip to comments.Kids and Guns - Statistics
Posted on 11/26/2001 8:55:36 AM PST by butter pecan fan
Safety Expert Gavin de Becker has found in researching his books, The Gift of Fear and Protecting the Gift that:
Researchers at familyeducation.com have collected the following statistics on kids and guns:
Centers for Disease Control and National Safety Council statistics suggest almost all! Their statistics find almost nobody under age 15 killed by gunshot in the U.S.; in other words, "child gun deaths" mainly mean kids in their late teens!
Some of the "Children" Killed By Guns
It really sickens me the way gun-grabbers skew numbers for their benefit. Just read Lott's book "More Guns, Less Crime" for the REAL meaning of statistics and how they are mis-used.
Let me guess. A 24 year-old is considered a "child" in this statistic.
Because, silly, that doesn't allow us to demonize guns, and thereby disarm the entire population. If we go after behavior, and not objects, then we would have to admit that guns really aren't the problem, behavior is. And then we would have to condemn such behavior, and then people might feel bad.
So it's just much easier to go after the guns. /sarcasm
Utterly false; debunked years ago. The number correlates to over 27,000 "children" ayear being shot, withnearly 5,500 children a year being killed. CDC reports nothing like this.
The majority of fatal accidents involving a firearm occur in the home.
The majority of fatal accidents involving cars occur on the roads. Totally irrelevant to anything.
Gunshot wounds are the single most common cause of death for women in the home, accounting for nearly half of all homicides and 42 percent of suicides.
Who in the heck is out compiling numbers of "deaths in the home"? Without stating what percentage of deaths occur "in the home" as opposed to everywhere else, this means nothing at all.
An adolescent is twice as likely to commit suicide if a gun is kept in the home.
This is twisted lawyer speak. This statistic seems to want to correlate suicide by any means with gun ownership. Means nothing at all.
More teenage boys in America die from gunfire than from car accidents.
Not likely. almost all "Teenage boys" who are killed by gunfire are gang bangers. Hardly the type who legally possess guns.
Gunshot wounds are now the leading cause of death for teenage boys in America (white, African-American, urban, suburban).
Again, unlikely.
"Child gun deaths" being "common" (or a disproportionate share of gunshot fatalities) - the Left says it all the time. It's just not true. According to the National Safety Council, only 869 children under 15 died in 1994 in the U.S. of gunshot wounds, whether as homicides, suicides, or accidentally inflicted.
Such children made up fewer than 2.3% of all gunshot fatalities that year in the U.S. (1994 is the latest year for which statistics are available.) (To keep some perspective, with Powerball having had 13 people win $12.4 million each in 1998 and an additional 79 win $100,000 each - plus numerous other state lotteries with similar numbers of winners - the odds of a "child" in America being fatally shot is about the odds of his mom winning a major lottery prize.)
Anyone 15 or older hardly fits most Americans' definition of a "child"; at that age, the person is old enough to drive a car on a learner's permit - and within a year, drive by himself. At age 16 in most states, any crime anyone does will be tried in adult court. So the liberal myth of large numbers of "child" gun deaths is just that - a myth. For those most Americans think of as "children," when they do die, it's very unlikely to involve a firearm in any way. According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 1990 (latest statistics), only 1.3% of deaths of children age 1-4 involve guns - and only 3% of deaths of children age 5-9 involve guns.
The speaker, a woman, kept giving these unbelievable statistics regarding "children" and guns.
Finally, on courageous young woman stopped her and asked, "can you please define children".
The speaker said a child was a newborn to 21.
The audience literally collectively gasped.
The speaker tried to regain control but she lost all credibility.
After that, the audience did little more than whisper amongst themselves.
Gun control fanatics use any and every trick to inflate their numbers and hide the circumstances of "childrens" deaths (ie. gang and drug related).
Don't believe their numbers and ask them lots of questions.
Gavin De Becker, the messiaha of beat up boys in America who claims most women are victims of attacks by men when we know that is a lie because women repeatedly are allowed in our culture to slap men, on TV and wherever.
Gavin makes rules with statistics while statistics can be tweaked by cultural response to assaults and firearms usage. Since culture views shot kids as bad, it will be reported. Since culture views deterred attacks with guns as good, it never is reported. How many kids were saved by a guns in the home? No one really knows and Gavin ignores it. How many women were saved from abuse when their men did not slap them back after beings slapped by them? We will never know it but it is quite usual, probably much more usual than men beating women because those get reported.
Secondly statistics are not a good reason to make a law or advocate a position since stats are just stats, not true analytical evaluation of a phenomenom. Airplane accident statistics do not tell whether planes are safe or not, only the laws of the air and their verified predictive abilities tell whether planes are safe.
Inherently Guns are safer than planes and cars because they are not self propelled devices and hence are definitely more controlable. What next? Ban cars because most people die driving their own cars? So the government should drive cars because then we would not die from what we own? What a stupid reasoning. This reasoning is even stupider when we realize we own cars to make money, not defend our own lives, hence we kill ourselves for no reasons at all in cars, according to De Becker ans socialites. Beware.
Gavin de Becker as a safety expert is a total a$$. He is no engineer, he is a crytal ball watcher, because, when he was beat continuously by his dad, he "learned" to survive by instinctively predicting when he was going to be hurt, treated like a beast, he is still a beast and has not come out from his reliance on predictive abilities at the expense of analytical look back and true repent. In fact he survived by sheer luck but still insist in his insanity that his instinct and predictive psychic abilities saved him... "sure, Gavin, nice Gavin, why don't you go out and take some fresh air Gavin"
Last but not least, it is abuse and not ownership that should be punished, Gavin better get his a$$ out of my sight if I crossed it, because it is enough that he has removed reasonable doubt against men like me in favor of women, that I am sick and tired of him removing reasonable doubt from a gun owner but not someone piercing their nose abusively with rings.
Oh, and I might add, why was Gavin beat up all the time? He did not have a gun to kill his attacker, that is why, and now he tries to tell us to live a successful life like he did when we know he is lucky because 99% of people that lived his life never actualy lived it.
Gavin is another false prophet, with false cures, without repent, just like his dad, never repenting, abusing the people the way his dad did. He is a psycho selling dangerous cures to people.
"Gun accidents involving children are actually at record lows, although you wouldn't know it from listening to the mainstream media.
In 1997, the last year for which data are available, only 142 children under 15 years of age died in gun accidents, and the total number of gun-related deaths for this age group was 642.
More children die each year in accidents involving bikes, space heaters or drownings.
The often repeated claim that 12 children per day die from gun violence includes "children" up to 20 years of age, the great majority of whom are young adult males who die in gang-related violence."
(from "Gun Control: Myths and Realities," Cato Institute commentary by David Lampo)
This is twisted lawyer speak. This statistic seems to want to correlate suicide by any means with gun ownership. Means nothing at all.
This statistic is probably the most interesting to me of the lot. Most of the others seem to be pure fluff, but there might be some meaningful information here. Is anybody familiar with the book named, its author, and particularly the source of this particular statistic?
The opposite is true for a telephone or electricity. Amish have lower suicide rates.
What %criminal gang members chosen by the lax nature of juvenile law to be on the front lines that are our streets in our other war, the drug WAR.
Also, see post #14 for info on the author.
The suicide statistic is silly. With the number of Americans owning guns, one would expect that a high number of suicides may occur in a home with a gun. The number they quote makes me want to shrug my shoulders and say, "So what. Tell me what that means". The author just lets the reader imply that a gun in the home has something to do with one wanting to kill themself.
More children die each year in accidents involving bikes, space heaters or drownings.
Useful stats. Thanks! BTW, what's your source on these? That'll make 'em even MORE useful...
If it's "correct" as stated, then it's not silly - since it's a "twice as likely to" statistic instead of a "twice as MANY" statistic (which is a kind of statistic people often lie with).
What we AREN'T told (which would be quite helpful) is what the rate is to START with, nor are we given any indication of the sample size. For example, if we were told that one out of 20,000 adolescents in homes without guns commits suicide (but one out of 10,000 in homes with guns, then we have more info there.
It occurs to me as well that buried in this statistic may be the dynamic that adolescents in homes with guns are more likely to SUCCEED at a suicide attempt, for obvious reasons.
Anyway, it would be good to know more about what's behind the stat.
The opposite is true for a telephone or electricity. Amish have lower suicide rates.
I suspect that HOW CHILDREN ARE RAISED, as well as the specific personalities of children and parents involved and the specific safety measures taken in a home (I include TRAINING here as a major safety measure) has a GREAT deal to do with EVERYTHING.
I would tend to agree. Statistics (especially selective statistics) without context are almost meaningless.
I read somewhere once that most people in the US die in hospitals.
Are hospitals places of death? Should we shut them down?
Or could there be a rational reason, for example, that hospitals are dispropotionately filled with sick and injured people who are more likely to die.
Likewise, "children" in gangs are probably more likely to die of gun related injuries because they are in contact with guns in their daily life.
It's not the gun, electricity, or telephone,....they are Christian. It would be interesting to evaluate "born again" Christian suicide rates against those that listen to Black Sabath, AC DC, or Marilyn Manson. Or for that matter the murder rate of both groups. I would assume the Christians would kill more often because they are intolerant of others. ;<)
Actually, a 147 year-old would be considered a "child" in this statistic, and an "American child being shot" is defined as any "child" who is wounded, or gets ill, for any reason and by any means when a firearm is within a 450-mile radius of the "child" in question.
Ya really gotta WORK them statistics, bro. Work em HARD!
Yes, it can be altered, or important and salient points can be left out (more on that in a moment), but it doesn't even HAVE to be ALTERED. A great deal is in the INTERPRETATION and PRESENTATION of the data.
Prime example of this is an anti-gun article I was reading on the bang list which claimed, tragically, that for every one woman who killed an attacker (I'm quoting from memory here but believe I'm real close), 51 women were killed by guns.
The point was, GUNS ARE INHERENTLY BAD.
And naturally, many in this forum said, "Well, if those 51 women had had handguns to defend themselves with, it probably would've been 52-0." That may have been stretching reality, since it might've been more like 26-26, but the point is: the statistic could BETTER be used to justify handgun defense!
Now here's what I mean by omitting relevant information:
Twenty-nine percent of high-school boys have at least one firearm; most are intended for hunting and sporting purposes.
Six percent say they carry a gun outside the home.
The National Institute of Justice, 1998
If I'm not mistaken, this is from a study which ALSO reported (as an incidental result) that CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS BUY THEM LEGAL GUNS ARE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO COMMIT CRIMES THAN THOSE WHO OBTAIN GUNS ILLEGALLY, AND, INTERESTINGLY, ARE ALSO SOMEWHAT LESS LIKELY TO COMMIT A CRIME THAT CHILDREN WITHOUT A GUN IN THE HOME.
But we aren't told that part in the cited compilation of statistics...
Gavin de Becker is a consultant to the "thought" police.
He is an "expert" only because he holds himself out to be an expert. Click on his name for his sickeningly self-praising bio from his website. Here's a sample:
He has appeared as an expert on every major news show and has been interviewed several times by Oprah Winfrey, Larry King, Maria Shriver, Sam Donaldson, Mike Wallace, and Ed Bradley. He's been quoted and profiled in TIME and Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, the New York Times, and many other publications.
That says it all, talk about a show for liberal kooks.
Yes, it would be very interesting indeed.
It would also be interesting to compare rates for home schoolers, private school attendees, and public school attendees. I would suspect that attending a public school would be a MAJOR risk factor for adolescent suicide.
Ironicaly his system cannot be blamed for the WTC bombing, or can it? This is just it, people with crystal balls and fortune tellers like GAvin are frauds of the first kind, never liable for their errors and failed systems.
My gosh, look where our tax money is going into. Into an unrepentant and paganistic government.
And who said big government was the problem, size certainly helps the arrogance.
Gunshot wounds are now the leading cause of death for teenage boys in America (white, African-American, urban, suburban).
A visit to the CDC website tells that teenage "boys" (age 13-17) are represented as follows:
MV Traffic 1,810
Firearm accident 117
Firearm homicide or "legal intervention" 756
Firearm suicide 513
Total deaths 2683
Thus, 1386 died from gunshots, including criminals shot by cops, while 1810 died in motor vehicle accidents. The first statement is a lie, as is the second.
Most of the rest could probably be shown to similarly deceptive.
"The assertions about X children per day are based on counting older teenagers, or even people in their early twenties, as children. The claims are true only if you count a 19-year-old drug dealer who is shot by a competitor, or an 18-year-old armed robber who is shot by a policeman, as a child killed by a gun. As for actual children (14 years and under), the daily death rate is 2.6. For children ten and under, its 0.4 per dayfar lower than the number of children who are killed by automobiles, drowning, or many other causes."
About 1,500 commit suicide.
According to the CDC (see above post for link), even if we include adults age 18 and 19, the number killed in firearms accidents is only half their claim: 262. The number of firearm suicides is only 1241.
If they wanted to be honest, and include only minors not yet of voting and military age, the numbers are 202 firearms accidental deaths, and 648 firearm suicides.
I purposefully didn't put a "barf alert" because my purpose was discussion and digging out any genuine facts that might be hiding in here. A "barf alert" is (IMO) more of a signal to "pile on" than to discuss.
Personally, as someone interested in guns, I'm also highly interested in gun safety. Specifically: how can I make absolutely certain that having a gun(s) in my home will make for a MORE safe environment for my kids, rather than a LESS safe environment.
I suspect in the end that ALL statistics are of only limited value. Not ONE of us precisely matches the "AVERAGE PROFILE" of a group in a study. The REAL question is: given MY family and their personalities, MY situation, MY etc., etc., what is appropriate.
We have some friends with a teenage son who is just a hard-to-control lunatic, and has been that way since birth. NO WAY would I have a gun of any kind in that family UNLESS that particular son's access could be absolutely and permanently barred. If there's any way he could get ahold of the gun safe combination, forget it.
On the other hand, there are 8-year-olds who, given appropriate TRAINING, SUPERVISION, and PRACTICE, I wouldn't hesitate to trust with ready access to a fully loaded submachine gun...
Now if I am not mistaken that's 5840 children killed and 23,360 wounded. If this were true there would be no guns in the hands of any civilian in this country....Pahhhhhhhhhlease People, Start reading the right documents
You know, you people really annoy the s*** out of my who immediately label as a TROLL any relative newbie who didn't join way back in 1998, and who shows ANY evidence whatsoever of being an independent thinker rather than just a "YEAH, BABY, ME TOO!" dittohead who just automatically SECONDS every single damn thing that is said in this forum.
I may have only officially joined this forum post-911, but if you BOTHERED to actually READ any of the posts and other meaningful information I've contributed, you would know that not only am I not a troll, I've contributed a HELL of a lot more to this forum lately than you have.
From which I deduce that 23% of high-school boys hunt and discharge weapons for sport inside their homes.
I live in a town of approx. 20K people, in a region that is charitably regarded as "rustic". I believe it is one of the five poorest counties in the nation, it is chock full of guns, and we had what I believe was our second homocide of the year last week...both were stabbings.
A highly intelligent reply. The more I think about it, the more that's what I'm thinking, too.
"Children up to age 19, including legal adults who can marry, drive, and die for their country. Most of these "children" are gang-bangers killing each other in turf wars. When the police shoot and kill fleeing teens, these deaths are included in this total.
The majority of fatal accidents involving a firearm occur in the home.
The majority of car accidents also occur very close to home - guess we should ban homes, they are so dangerous. A hunter might spend some few days or a week in a year hunting, compared to the other 358 days at home. Where do think the accidents are most likely to occur?
Gunshot wounds are the single most common cause of death for women in the home, accounting for nearly half of all homicides and 42 percent of suicides.
Murder is illegal, and suicides are a personal choice. Neither has to do with guns. Suicide is twice as common in Japan where guns are banned - people there tend to drown themselves. Murder happens where guns don't exist, too.
An adolescent is twice as likely to commit suicide if a gun is kept in the home.
This "fact" confuses correlation with causation - is it because of the gun that the suicide occurred, or is it because people who wish to commit suicides decide to get guns, just for this purpose? This "fact" doesn't say.
More teenage boys in America die from gunfire than from car accidents.
Most of these teenage boys, again, are gang members killed over turf wars. For the typical American household, with a typical American teenage male - that male is more likely to die in a car accident than from a gun shot, because the typical teenage male isn't a gang member. However, this "fact" is stated in such a way as to confuse this issue.
Gunshot wounds are now the leading cause of death for teenage boys in America (white, African-American, urban, suburban).
--- all combined. But when you break them down, is this still true? Let's see the numbers. (And, don't include suicide since they will still kill themselves if they really, really want to anyway.)
Researchers at familyeducation.com have collected the following statistics on kids and guns:
Twenty-nine percent of high-school boys have at least one firearm; most are intended for hunting and sporting purposes. Six percent say they carry a gun outside the home. The National Institute of Justice, 1998
And nearly 100% of them own books, and carry them outside the home. Researchers are still puzzled why high-school boys like to exercise the First Amendment so much more than the Second Amendment.
From 1980 to 1997, gun killings by young people 18 to 24 increased from about 5,000 to more than 7,500. During the same period, gun killings by people 25 and older fell by almost half, to about 5,000. The US Department of Justice
The War on (some) Drugs provided lots of buisness opportunities to America'a diverse youths. For some reason, they can't all just get along, especially when huge drug profits are at stake.
There are about 60 million handguns in the United States. About 2 to 3 million new and used handguns are sold each year. US Senate Statistics
"That every man be armed..." Well on the way, I see!
Nearly 500 children and teenagers each year are killed in gun-related accidents. About 1,500 commit suicide. Nearly 7,000 violent crimes are committed each year by juveniles using guns they found in their own homes. Senator Herb Kohl, sponsor of the safety lock measure.
Education can reduce or eliminate the accidents; why do so-called "safety" groups oppose programs like the NRA's Eddie Eagle? Suicides are personal choice, and don't depend on guns anyway. As mentioned, Japan has twice the suicide rate of America, but they drown themselves rather than shooting themselves. (In other words: "Studies show that countries which disarm their citizens experience twice the suicide rates of countries that trust their citizens with arms.")
In 1994, every day, 16 children age 19 and under were killed with guns and 64 were wounded in this country. National Center for Health and Statistics, 1996
"Children" 19 and under who can vote, marry, and serve in the Army. And the number 16 became 13, and then 12, then 11, then 10. However, the research finds the old number, not the latest one. Nothing like cherry-picking your data for the greatest emotional impact, is there?

Using images on your website? What you need to know
With Google changing its image search parameters to allow you to search for Commercial Use photographs, we sat down with Kelly Thompson, COO of iStockphoto the market leader in royalty free images, to see whether photos on the web really have just become free for all users or whether there are strings attached.
Typically, blogs fall into two categories: editorial and commercial. Blogs considered purely editorial in nature – those that are non-commercial and related to events that are newsworthy or of public interest – have a different set of rules that may apply with respect to model and property releases and licenses.
If your blog has a commercial purpose, ie you are trying to sell stuff against it rather than just talk about your life experiences, here are some things to consider regarding using images on your site:
"Free" License Use
Images licensed using Creative Commons or another "free" license site may be fine for some blogging uses, but you need to be aware of the license limitations. Many of the images, by request of the artist, are available only for non-commercial use. If you are making money from your blog or are using the image in any way to sell something, and the artist has specified that his or her license does not extend to commercial usage, you may be in breach of the license agreement and could face serious legal ramifications. There are other limitations to Creative Commons licenses and it is advisable to confirm that your use is in compliance with the specific license agreement.
Image Inspection
Importantly, there is no inspection process at Creative Commons with respect to trademark, copyright or privacy compliance. As an example, Virgin Mobile Pty Ltd (Australia) found this out the hard way. They used an image of a young girl licensed under Creative Commons in an ad campaign but, unbeknownst to them, that girl had never agreed to allow her likeness to be used by Virgin in the manner that it was used. Virgin used the image as per the Creative Commons license but, because there was no model release by the subject, was sued by the girl's family for libel and invasion of privacy.
Trademarks / Copyright
Pay close attention to images that contain logos or trademarks from other companies. If you're using them for your own gain, you can expect a call, at a minimum, to remove the image. Some companies are very litigious when it comes to trademark issues.
When looking for an image with people or a specific place, you should definitely license the image from a reputable source with an inspection process that looks for copyright, trademark and privacy infringement. Images with identifiable people or places need appropriate releases! Using an image without one is asking for trouble.
What about the images you took yourself for your blog? Are they safe? And what if someone else uses them?
In order to protect yourself, always ensure that if you have recognisable/identifiable people, buildings, restaurants, businesses or logos in images, you have a model or property release.
Check your own work online
Chances are, if you are ripping other people's images to use on your blog, others are doing the same to you. You can find out if your images are being used on the Web without your consent. Try TinEye (http://tineye.com). Submit your photo and it will scan the Web for you. If someone else is using your images without your consent, you may have a right to demand they remove the image, credit your work or pay you damages.
Use a service
Although slightly biased, Thompson says royalty-free microstock sites like iStockphoto are designed to help you find the image you want quickly. Unlike Flickr and Google, a photo uploaded to a microstock site has individual keywords attached to it, describing the subject, composition, elements within and broad ideas associated with the photo (such as an emotion). iStockphoto even goes as far as offering a feature called CopySpace, that allows you to search based on blank areas of the photo available for text or branding.
