Long-term longitudinal studies that examine whether there are distinct trajectories of at-risk depressive symptoms and alcohol use across the high school years (e.g., high co-occurrence) are rare in normative samples of adolescent boys and girls; yet, this assessment is of critical importance for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies. Moreover, the role of self-regulation and novelty-seeking behavior in differentiating among distinct subgroups of adolescents is not clear. To address these gaps, the present study sought to identify subgroups of adolescent boys and girls that indicated at-risk trajectories across the high school years for both depressive symptoms and alcohol use, and examined the role of delay of gratification and novelty seeking at baseline in differentiating among the subgroups. Canadian adolescents (N = 4,412; 49 % female) were surveyed at four time points (grades 9, 10, 11, and 12). Parallel process latent class growth analyses revealed four distinct subgroups for both boys and girls, encompassing high co-occurrence, depressive symptoms only, alcohol use only, and low co-occurrence. Across gender, delay of gratification at baseline differentiated among the four subgroups, with the High Co-Occurrence Group group scoring the lowest and the Low Co-Occurrence Group the highest. Lower novelty-seeking scores at baseline were associated more with being in the Depressive Symptoms Only Group relative to the other groups, particularly the Alcohol Use Only Group for boys. Thus, delay of gratification and novelty seeking may be useful in identifying youth at risk for co-occurring depressive symptoms and alcohol use trajectories, as well as at-risk trajectories for only one of these behaviors.

Skip to comments.George Lazenby celebrates his 70th Birthday today
Posted on 09/05/2009 8:15:37 PM PDT by Perdogg
George Lazenby, the one-time 007 actor who played James Bond in "On Her Majesties Secret Services" celebrates his 70th birthday today.
(Excerpt) Read more at mi6.co.uk ...
Happy birthday to Mr. Lazenby.
I was reading that he has three kids under 6. He was married to Pam Shriver the tennis player. They had three kids together.
Interesting site at that link.
Alas, according to IMDb, they are currently filing for divorce (and it has gotten very ugly). It says of the kids that the oldest is 5 and the younger twins turn 4 next month.
Highly under-rated. One of the best Bond films IMO.
I still think Daniel Craig is the best Bond. But yes, OHMSS is the best story. Second best is "For Your Eyes Only" (Bond battles a crook for Cold War technology.) Realistic, no gadgets except for Roger Moore's humor.
For Your Eyes Only has that creepiness factor with Moore's romantic dalliance with a skater who could have been his granddaughter.
Which girl? Bibi or Melina?
Happy B-day. Anybody who got to share the screen with Diana Rigg is a lucky fellow. She's still the best Bond girl, IMHO, and is, in fact, the only one he ever married. BTT.
>>>Realistic, no gadgets except for Roger Moores humor.
As Fleming wrote the character, Bond was not a superman, and not a clown. Just a man of ordinary pleasantly homely appearance, well educated and trained, but mainly a man who just refuses to give up. Musician/actor Hogey Carmichael was the model for Bond's looks. In one of the early novels Bond expresses annoyance at people mistaking him for the celebrity as anonymity is essential to his work.
Up until Daniel Craig I always argued that Lazenby's Bond wasn't perfect, but still caught the character much more closely then anybody before or after. I enjoyed Connery but that was Robospy, not Bond.
As to Moore, in one novel Fleming has an aside that Bond on his own time is writing a book he hopes the department would adopt as a training guide. I can't imagine Roger Moore's Bond even being able to read a textbook, much less write one.
But she started it. He responded by offering to buy her ice cream.
He means Lynn-Holly Johnson's Bibi, except he never made a play for her, she was always hitting on him... and when she tried to get him in bed, his response was for her to put on her clothes and he'd buy her an ice cream. But the age of his granddaughter ? She was 31 years younger, so daughter is more in order.
Up until Daniel Craig I always argued that Lazenbys Bond wasnt perfect, but still caught the character much more closely then anybody before or after.
agree...He's the best / Sean...
...Moore, the worst.
This was one of my favorite British secret agents. His name is Harry Palmer.
I was leaning towards Brosnan as the worst, too smarmy, embodying the worst aspects of Moore, but Craig may be the worst on one single ground... he's simply miscast and is the extreme opposite of Brosnan, like a cold-blooded henchman. He's like a less charming Red Grant playing Bond.
But Lynn sure was hot though.
Micheal Caine, The 2nd Best British Secret Agent, Is Good.
maybeso...I just got sick / tired, of the
"strained" attempt(s) @ Humor of R.M.
Best Bond?
I found Lazenby to be the weakest link in the film, however. He appeared to sleepwalk through his lines, although he wasn't the caricature that Roger Moore was.
Connery in "From Russia With Love" and "Goldfinger" was the best Bond, followed by Craig in "Casino Royale."
Hogey Carmichael
Happy Birthday, Mr. Lazenby!
Many of my friends dismiss 'O.H.M.S.S.' without a second thought, and that's a shame! The franchise was in serious trouble after Sean Connery left and George Lazenby delivered a very servieable Bond revealing depth and emotions never explored before. Without all of the trade-mark gimmicks and gizmos that started to define the character instead of aid him.
The story stayed very true to what Ian Fleming had written in his novel and it did not hurt to have Diana Rigg, every male teen's (at the time) first ever across-the-pond television crush, myself included, as the future Mrs. Bond!
Not as well executed as 'From Russian With Love' or 'Goldfinger', but certainly better than many of the franchise's later fare.
Ironically, Roger Moore who was first slated to be Bond and was busy doing 'The Saint', was too pretty and smooth to be a believeable Bond when his turn came around.
Pierce Brosnan came off as too glib and slick for his own good. Timothy Dalton, to a slightly lesser degree.
Sean Connery is still the best Bond!
The man is a paid assassin, how hot-blooded do you expect him to be.
It wasn't until I hit my later 20s that I started to really appreciate this movie. OHMSS is in my top 3 of all Bond films, that is to say tied for first. I actually got to meet him at a DragonCon a few years back, it was great. The only Bond I've ever gotten to meet. Happy Birthday George.
Lynn Holly Johnson's name in that movie was Bibi Dahl.
The movie came out when I was living in London. The British entertainment press destroyed Lazenby. They accused him of "Acting With His 'L' Plates On." I thought he was horrible as well.
An L Plate was a British license plate that signified a student driver, or "Learner" behind the wheel. Don't know if they still use them.
Yes, she was. FYEO was the first Bond film my father took me to see in the theater (when I was 7). When RM kept rebuffing Bibi, I wanted to jump out of my seat and yell, "C'mon, Rog ! Hit that like the fist of an angry God !" ;-) Of course, with those firm and muscular skater's legs, she probably could've crushed Rog (but what a way to go !).
Do I wish Rog had played it straighter ? Of course. I felt bad about him to a degree because he was saddled with a lot of bad/silly/caricatured '70s scripts and had to make the most of it. I think he was far better in FYEO, as they got rid of all the prior silliness ("Moonraker" being about the worst), and brought JB back down to earth. But as bad as Rog could be, Pirs Bonbons was a helluva lot worse. That George Clooneyesque smugness was insufferable.
As an actor he was a lillar of stone. I have nothing against the guy personally, but he was a better model than actor. Let me say it another way. He made Roger Morre look like an oscar winner.
I liked Craig as the uinexperienced Bond in Casino Royale. I don't think he'll be around much longer. 1 more or 2 for money. Let's get it out of the way: there is Coinnery and everyone else. Clive Owen would be my pick for Bond.
I liked Telly Savalas, but he was simply too American to be playing Blofeld. I preferred Donald Pleasance. Pleasance simply exuded evil without really having to act. Of course, the earliest Blofeld (when you never saw him, only heard the voice, in FRWL) was also quite effective and scary (having the psychotic Lotte Lenya and Vladek Sheybal react to him was great stuff).
I liked Dalton's two outings, with his first being the one I consider to be the last genuine-feeling Bond (John Glen directed/John Barry score). LTK was good, even if it was really an overextended "Miami Vice" episode without Crockett & Tubbs (and I loved MV, but despised that execrable film made a few years ago which had zilch to do with the series - what the hell was Michael Mann thinking ?).
My point is that I believe he is simply miscast. Physically, he doesn't have the right look, and he plays JB like a stone-cold villain. It could be argued he'd become that way after Vesper's death, but he was hardly acting any different beforehand, nevermind after. Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, even Brosnan had some level of humanity and appeal that kept you on their side, but Craig is completely absent of that. After seeing his second outing, that just compounded my opinion of him. He ought to be working for SPECTRE. I stated my belief that Clive Owen should be playing JB, he has the right look and could play it closer to the style of Dalton/Connery.
I don't think anyone was going to be acceptable in the press or public's eye following Connery (I do feel it unfortunate Connery passed up doing arguably the best script in the franchise). Lazenby did about as well as could be expected in my opinion, given the shoes he had to fill. It would've been interesting to see how he would've grown into the part over time. My opinion, too, was that when Connery came back to do DAF, it was a serious letdown. He looked too tired, too old (even though he was just 40 when he filmed it, he seemed a decade older), and too out of shape. Contrast that with Rog Moore when he was 46 when he took over the part in '73, three years older than Connery (and 5-6 years older when he filmed it), but looked like he was in his mid 30s.
Speaking of Bibi...
The knock against Brosnan in his recent Bond movies was that he became a bit too programatic. However, he was excellent in GoldenEye.
He was OK in GE, but I just basically didn't care for him. Too much an amplification of Roger Moore's most grating qualities.
"... Hit that like the fist of an angry God !"..."
Now THAT"S funny. I suspect that that will be used in threads that warrant the use of that line.
31 could be great grand daughter in this day and age
You wanted to say that at 7...
Agreed...one of the best musical scores; as well.
Well... I was precocious.

hansen said he wanted papers please from me, never game me a steam id
last night was the first event i think i've watched since wm18, the title match was awesome but the rumble sucked
yeah i have a steam code to send and nowhere to send it
The o line was terrible, if I got sacked 7 times against the saints I'd give up too
with the way cutler was sucking i had hope that he'd get enough negative points to get me a win
Holy shit nice transformation
i would say that this is the year i take down isay but.........yeah probably not
Still rocking in my 240s, two gainsgivings this week have pretty much killed me though
i've officially cracked the <250 mark today, been walking a lot and lifting about two days a week
played high school football with this dude, good guy all around...
rtj2 out now
chalk helps a lot i think with calluses, that hand wrap glove substitute looks crazy to me, i would think it would be worse for your grip than anything since you wouldn't be touching the actual bar
i think i'm up to like #126 but they release them a lot faster than i read them, probably 130-140 by now i'd imagine
comic spoilerthe fact that they paused at glenn and made you think he was going to get cracked was a nice nod to the fans of the comic i thought, although it would take away a big hate factor for...
yeah she wrecked shit, show carol is basically comic andrea without boning dale
my legs are killing me with two day old doms, squats at 315 5x3, 225 3x8, calf raises 225 x 50
gaff is there a bike shop around that'll actually let you try it out and ride around before you buy...
Chilly and wet here, went for a bike ride anyway and got soaked, it was fun
I don't know how I'd rank it in terms of Fincher's films though, most of them are just so well done, Zodiac or Seven are probably my favorites
If you've never signed up for audible, I'd get the audiobook off there since they give you a free one for signing up, the two narrators on it do an awesome job.
I've read all three of her novels, they're pretty similar in tone but gone girl was the best. There were a few things omitted from the movie, but overall a very faithful adaptation
Really enjoyed gone girl and edge of tomorrow, maleficent sucked, that sums up my movie watching for the weekend
The book was pretty decent, probably going this weekend
it feels weird having my left hand turned, can't do it captain
what can i say, i'm a weird dude
i usually do squats and bench on the same day too, or dead lifts and ohp
lately i haven't done much of anything other than riding the bike so this week has...
i'm down to about 250, knocked out some squats and OHP last night
i haven't lifted much of anything as of late, did DLs at 325 last night but didn't finish the session i had lined out, life got in the way

Kiev is losing ground in the fight to control east Ukraine, having been pushed out of vital strategic positions by resurgent rebel forces and what it says is a rapidly growing Russian military presence inside its borders.
The reversals, the first in several weeks, came amid heavy fighting and dimmed the glimmer of optimism that had emerged from talks between President Poroshenko and President Putin in Minsk overnight. Both men were cautiously positive about the discussion, and the Ukrainian leader promised a "road map" to peace soon. He said that all those at the meeting had agreed to the need

In its single year of existence, the Food is Free Project has garnered a great deal of hype and devoted supporters in the Austin community and beyond. Delightfully charismatic founders (and bandmates) John VanDeusen Edwards and Jonathan Horstmann show their ever-growing group of fans and followers how to grow their own food, encourage their neighbors to join, and to live an urban lifestyle in harmony with the natural way of things. Their solution to what many progressive individuals are realizing is an unsustainable, impersonal, and incredibly wasteful agricultural industry is a simple and light-hearted one, and their nonprofit continues to receive attention and grow.
For Edwards and Horstmann, music is intrinsically tied to their message. Their band project, Mighty Mountain, is truly an outburst of hope and inspiration, backed by cello, violin, keys, ukulele, guitar, bubbles, and confetti. They play in bars, clubs, and on the streets. They played the recent Livestrong Austin Marathon, set up near the finish line, encouraging runners as they neared their goal with uplifting jams. Their sound and image is poppy and often transcendent, but there is a splash of rock 'n' roll sensibility that evokes nostalgia for the Beatles or Led Zeppelin, and brings everything back down to earth. And the music doesn't stop at the stage–the Food is Free Project promotional and DIY videos include their tunes as well, bringing optimism and fun along for every ride.
The Project's showcase at the Recharge on Second Street, during the last Saturday of SXSW, brought together some of Austin's standout acts for a show that rocked and grooved and put a smile on many a face. Local favorite Megafauna's Dani Neff shredded up the stage with her insane guitar riffs and airy, sometimes haunting vocals, backed by drummer Zack Humphrey and stand-in bassist, Will Krause. Mighty Mountain brought the stage to life in clouds of color. And breakout American Idol contestant Papa Peachez bored into the psyche of the crowd with his soulful poetry set to gut-wrenching melodies combined with wild, often-un-PC, but equally profound rap flow which kept everybody dancing.
It's easy to see why the Project has become so popular — it just feels natural, in every sense of the word. Be sure to check it out and get on board with this shift.
Look for Mighty Mountain's album soon, and in the meantime, check out their video for their song "Ebb and Flow." Also, keep up with Megafauna and Papa Peachez.

While the point of the article seems to be "something should be done about Foley" and the Republicans may lose some seats in the next election, I must admit to having a strong and negative reactiton to two statements."Some members of the gay community have blamed the saga on the fact that Mr Foley has spent so long in the closet" and supporting it, "Democrat Barney Frank, Congress's first openly gay man, told the news agency, "It's a terrible place to be, and it's got to be worse if you're a Republican."How long will people, in particular gay people, spread the myth that homosexuality and pedophilia are the same thing? Staying in the closet does not make gay men prey on boys, having sexually predatory bent toward young boys does. This, my friends, is called "pedophilia" not "homosexuality".I have had homosexual men in my life since I was a child. Their partners were adults. Many of them had children and were loving, caring and protective parents who would have been appalled at the behavior of Foley and the Republican cover up.Preying on children is preying on children, which is classified as a mental illness and not a sexual orientation.So why perpetuate a myth about yourselves that only makes you look like criminals and sociopaths yourselves, rather than pointing out that Foley is a criminal because he has physical and cyber sex with children and not because he didn't come out of the closet soon enough?
And if you check pre-1972 editoins of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual fo the classification of Mental Illnesses), you will find that homosexuality itself was classified as a mental illness.There are still some professionals who consider the striking down of that classification to be an ideologically-driven error.It is also disingenuous to suggest that homosexuality and paedophilia are wholly unrelated. The suggestion that Mark Foley's sexual orientation bears no relevance to his actions concerning the page boys is misleading, since without the orientation, he would have had no motive for importuning and harrassing the boys.To suggest that homosexuality is wholly unrelated to paedophiliia is like suggesting that Mac OS X is wholly unrelated to Unix because it has a flashy, presentable front end.
B52, does that mean that your sexuality is related to men who touch up little girls? and shpouldnt you quit your job and say sorry?

Over at the Houston Press' Hair Balls blog (no, I don't know why they call it that), I take a moment to reflect on the best and worst Christmas specials ever made. Feel free to berate me for any glaring omissions.
The Best and Worst Christmas Specials of All Time
In which I deal with skeevy guys, a moonlighting stripper, and the racism of born of white liberal guilt:
The New Guy Visits: Buffalo Fred's Ice House
Over at Pajiba, we continue our countdown of the best movies of the decade within certain genres; later this week, we'll unveil our overall top 10. This time, it's my turn, with The Ten Best Comedies of the Aughts.
Maybe not as great as "Christmas Party," but still pretty good.
"The Office" 6×13: "Secret Santa"
Ugh. This was my first time drinking absinthe, and my last. Nice place, though:
The New Guy Visits: Absinthe Brasserie
A great wrap for the first 13 episodes, and a packed set-up for the rest of the season. I'm already looking forward to the show's return in April.
"Glee" 1×13: "Sectionals"
Incidentally, this is how bad the crop is with the local Fox affiliate. The show's masked in widescreen so people like me, with old-school tube TVs, can see the whole thing. But the Fox network here broadcasts it in full-frame. You can actually see it snap from widescreen to full-frame at the beginning of the episode, so the sides of the picture are cut off. Every week. It happens with other shows, too, but I don't watch Fox that often. This is annoying, and I know that I'm probably one of the few who notice it, but I don't like having to watch a show where people have conversations with characters who have been cut almost entirely out of the frame. I guess I'll have to wait until I get the DVDs to really experience the show. Thanks, Fox 26, for sucking so consistently:
Decent little melodrama.

My latest bar excursion for 29-95 took me to a great little dive that's sadly closing soon:
The New Guy Visits: Roll-N Saloon
This week's "The Office" was one of those episodes you don't enjoy, you just try and survive. I barely did:
"The Office" 6×11: "Scott's Tots"
Finally! Tons of plot and action, and one of the best musical numbers in weeks:
"Glee" 1×12: "Mattress"
[I have no idea how many posts I'll do in this series, or how often I'll write one, but I just couldn't resist creating it.]
I love movies and TV. I have a pretty healthy respect for language. I don't think those two should be mutually exclusive. From time to time, though, I notice weird grammatical quirks that I can't ignore.
"In the Shadow of Two Gunmen" is the two-hour opener of the second season of "The West Wing," and as I've said, it's a wonderful episode. There's a scene in the second half where Josh is waiting in the airport to fly home for his father's funeral when Jed Bartlet, still just a presidential contender, shows up to comfort him. It's a moving scene, but there's a moment that always jars me:
You want me to go with you?
Go with me?
Maybe you want some company on the plane. I could get a ticket and come with you.
Governor! California. You have to go the ballroom and give a victory speech in primetime and go to California.
I guess you're right.
[laughing] You guess I'm right? Listen to me, Governor, if you don't lose this election, it isn't going to be because you didn't try hard enough. But it was nice of you to ask. Thank you.
The emphasis is mine. Creator Aaron Sorkin is a gifted writer, but he's no stranger to grammatical slip-ups that masquerade as teachable moments. (Josh's lecture about the proper use of "an historical" instead of "a historical," which is actually kind of wrong, comes to mind.) I don't wanna get into double negatives and litotes; I just think we should untangle the sentence to see what it actually says.
First, let's just flip the negative in the first half and see what happens. The new sentence would be, "If you lose this election, it isn't going to be because you didn't try hard enough." The joking implication here would be that if Bartlet loses, he'll have to share some of the blame. No one will be able to accuse him of not trying hard to lose; this is what Josh would be saying if this were his dialogue. This meaning seems to fit with the tone of the scene and Josh's gentle admonition to Bartlet, who is on the verge of flaking out on his acceptance speech just to see Josh off at the airport. This new sentence would have Josh jokingly telling Bartlet that Bartlet's doing a solid job at throwing the game, and that if he loses the election, well, it won't be because he didn't try, meaning it will partially be because he did try.
But that's not what Sorkin wrote. He wrote, "If you don't lose this election, it isn't going to be because you didn't try hard enough." (Again, emphasis mine.) That reverses the meaning of the first half of the sentence, making it in effect: "If you win this election, it isn't going to be because you didn't try hard enough." Which would make sense from an electoral perspective, I guess — if Bartlet wins, it will indeed be in part because of the effort he put forth — but it's not at all the meaning Josh and Sorkin need. Josh is kindly telling the president to get it together, that his behavior runs the risk of losing the election. Bartlet's appearance at the airport has Josh half-worried that Bartlet will blow the acceptance speech and the nomination; it wouldn't make sense for him to weirdly commend Bartlet on his work so far in a convoluted way.
The sentence, as written and spoken, is wrong. For it to make grammatical sense, and for it to click with the tone of the episode and scene, it should be: "If you lose this election, it isn't going to be because you didn't try hard enough." Oh well.

I want to allocate memory for strucs such below
typedef struct {
int *buffer;
int length;
int dsn;
int handle;
} myStr;
which one is correct?
myStr *pStr = malloc(sizeof(myStr)+lenOfBuff);
myStr *pStr = malloc(sizeof(myStr));
I saw in some Examples that use the first one, but it seems a little strange for me. Does it have to allocate memory for data Buffer at the same time??

After her last hair-raising stab at sleuthing, you'd think Marla Shore would learn to keep her nose out of other people's business. Still, when Marla stumbles upon the body of Cut 'N Dye client Jolene Myers in the whirlpool at the local fitness club, she can't help but feel that Jolene's murder is her business.
But Marla's not the only one anxious to nail Jolene's killer. Representing the Palm Haven police is Marla's sexy, vexing, sometime boyfriend, Detective Dalton Vail. Then there's the buxom, beautiful, very blonde "Jill" Crone. A flash from the past of bagel maker Arnie Hartman, Jill's digging deep for details on Jolene's demise, and she's cozying up awfully close to Detective Vail to get the answers. Maybe that's why Marla can't seem to warm up to the beautiful blonde -- or maybe it's the way Jill seems to know the answers even before she asks the questions. Because the questions that Jill's asking are enough to curl anyone's hair….
Was Jolene having an affair with realtor Sam Zelman, or was there more than pillow talk going on when the two were spotted meeting at an out-of-the-way hotel? Did animal rights activist Cookie Calcone, who warned Jolene that her work at Stockhart Industries would be the death of her, finally make good on her threat? Both Sam and Cookie were at the fitness club on the night that Jolene was murdered. And both will meet untimely ends before they have a chance to say.
Now, with three suspicious deaths to investigate, and an even longer list of suspects to consider, Marla's got her hands full, chasing down leads that put her closer to the killer with every step she takes. Only this time, her next step could land her in the morgue….
In Murder by Manicure, the third novel in the Bad Hair Day Mystery series, a southern sleuth who's a cut above the rest pulls out all the stops to wrap up another nail-biting murder that will leave readers eagerly awaiting their next appointment with Marla Shore.
"Funny how the prospect of questioning a suspect propelled her out of bed in the morning…. So what if an amour wasn't the direction Marla wanted to go? Solving a murder served the same purpose: cozy up to the opposition; learn his secrets; eliminate conflicting viewpoints; and get to the climax. As simple as a haircut…. Real life wasn't so easy, though."

Dead Alive LbNA # 56142
|Half Empty
|Placed Date
|Oct 16 2010
|Rochford/Hill City, SD
|Found By
|Last Found
|Sep 18 2011
|Hike Distance
This letterbox is dedicated to Peter Jackson's finest movie, Dead Alive. I'm planting this box in time for Halloween - it's one of my favorite horror movies. The Black Hills of South Dakota have some famous heads. Well, Dead Alive has a famous head too and that is the stamp you will find with this box.
NOTE: The stamp in this box contains a gory image from the movie. It may not be appropriate for young children.
This stamp is located along the Mickelson Trail. The Mickelson trail follows an old railroad line for over 100 miles from Deadwood, SD to Edgemont, SD. Replacing all the trestles and cleaning up the trail must have been quite a project and people in the area seem proud of it. You are encouraged to pay a $3 day use fee per person while on the Trail, but there's no one around to enforce this policy.
The activity of choice on the Mickelson Trail is bike riding, although you are welcome to hike it as well, of course. You can rent bikes in many of the towns along the route (Rochford would be a good starting point for this box, for example), and shuttles can be arranged to pick you up at various locations. Since the trail is an old train line there are no large hills and the grade is level and easy to walk or bike. Along the Trail you will find access points with bathrooms and places to rest.
We started our walk at the Mystic Trailhead, mile marker 74.7, having driven to this access point from Hill City. However you get to this letterbox (whether from the North or South) your goal will be "Tunnel C," located at mile 76.9. Locating this tunnel will be much easier with the Mickelson Trail guide map that you can find all over the Black Hills. Find Tunnel C on this map before setting out - otherwise you won't know if you're in the right place or not since the tunnels are not labeled.
The walk from the Mystic Trailhead to Tunnel C is about 4.5 miles roundtrip. Along the way you will pass streams, beaver ponds and lots of the irridescent slate you can see in many places in the Black Hills. During our walk we saw men panning for gold in the small stream.
Once you reach Tunnel C, enter it from the southern end, walking along the right side. About halfway into the tunnel the wooden beams along the wall will stop and the wall will become solid rock. Just after the last wooden beam look down near the ground. The box is behind a rock and has another piece of slate laid against it.
We hope you enjoy this spooky box and your time on the Mickelson Trail!

WASHINGTON (AP) - A potential threat from radical nations, shared by the United States and Russia, motivated a U.S. proposal that they amend a bedrock anti-nuclear treaty to allow limited missile defense systems.
U.S. officials said Sunday that U.S. negotiators proposed that the Americans help Russia finish a major radar installation near Irkutsk, Siberia, oriented across Russia's vast southeastern coast to keep watch on North Korea among others. In exchange, Russia would agree to alter the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty so that both countries could establish national missile defense systems.
The ABM treaty, ratified by the Senate in August 1972, bans construction of systems to defend against ballistic missile attacks. An outgrowth of the first strategic arms limitations talks, the treaty is considered a cornerstone arms-control agreement.
"We don't want to weaken Russian security. We're looking to enhance both countries' security, and that may need some adjustments to the ABM treaty," White House chief of staff John Podesta said on ABC's "This Week."
He said the goal is to cope with nuclear threats from countries, such as Iran and North Korea, which the Americans consider "rogue states," while leaving the essence of the ABM treaty intact.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told CNN's "Late Edition" the discussions have not advanced past preliminary stages. She said U.S. officials are making it very clear that any U.S. missile defense effort would be directed not against Russia but against rogue states. She mentioned Iran and North Korea.
"We are very concerned about the development of missile technology, nuclear weapons, by the rogue states and consider that to be a threat to us and to the Russians," Albright said. "They are obviously concerned, as are we, about what the future holds. . . . We want to work together on dealing with what this major threat is from the rogue states."
Spurgeon Keeny, president and executive director of the Arms Control Association, called the ABM amendment proposal an overreaction. He doubts the Russians will go along with it.
"Such a minimal treaty adjustment directed solely at North Korea or the so-called rogue states, an essentially nonexistent threat, doesn't make sense," Keeny said. "The Russians and Chinese cannot believe the U.S. is so terrified of their token capability. This would cost millions and millions of dollars and jeopardize all arms control."

First, let me give a disclaimer: on the evening we visited Carrabba's, I had only had a breakfast bar with peanut butter, and 2 graham crackers with peanut butter, 2 cups of coffee and one diet coke the entire day, so I was ravenous by the time we got there. Just wanted to make that clear, as when you are really, really hungry, even ordinary things can taste amazing!
As we've never had a Carraba's Italian Grill near us, this was a first-time-ever visit. We do enjoy Macaroni Grill, but haven't lived close to one of those in several years. The two are somewhat similar. We adore the bread at Macaroni Grill (MG from this point on), so I was hoping Carrabba's (Cb's from this point on)would have something similar. And, I suppose it was, in a way. Whereas the MG serves you with a piping hot loaf of their amazing bread, Cb's brought basket of hot sliced Italian bread. The loaf at MB is a lot more bread, but our waitress offered us more when she noticed the basket empty. Both restaurants serve you with extra virgin olive oil (evoo) in which to dip your bread. MG simply cracks pepper in the dish and then pours the evoo over it, and paired with their sinfully delicious, crusty, butter brushed loaf of artisan bread, it is amazing.
However, our waitress at Cb's emptied a small container of 'fresh herbs and garlic' onto the dish and then poured the eevoo over that--telling us it was their own special blend. Wow! Special it was! Absolutely delicious! The bread had a crunchy crust and a deliciously soft center--and paired with that amazing 'blend'/evoo mixture, to die for. I could've just had that for a meal!
Next, our salad with the creamy parmesan dressing came and it, too, was very, very good. Not a lot of different 'stuff' in it but it did have a couple of tiny calamata olives in it--and the dressing was very good.
By the time the entree got there, I couldn've just skipped it and gone straight for the dessert, as I was actually full. But, the Mezzaluna (Half moon ravioli with chicken, ricotta and spinach in tomato cream sauce) was delish, the other pasta dish with the corkscrew pasta in a tomato sauce was 'ok', and the grilled salmon--a disappointment.
The salmon was a large portion and cooked a little too much, but the reason I say it was a disappointment was that it lacked flavor. Hubby said he thought it was 'wonderful', but then, he eats anything--even if he sits there repeatly commenting that it is not very good--while he's eating it. So, I suppose it could be that I was just full....but, to me it lacked flavor and depth.
We ordered the limone bread pudding and it was delish, too. That liquour they put on it was BITTER, but even that couldn't take away all the 'goodness' of it.
One thing I will give a five star rating to: our server, Jennifer. She was most excellent, cheerful, and prompt. She is the kind of waitress everyone hopes to get when they go into a restaurant!
All in all, Carrabba's has very tasty food--with the posiible exception of the salmon. The service was fantastic, and we will be going back, on occasion.

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - A high school football coach from New Jersey is taking his team prayer lawsuit to the nation's highest court.
East Brunswick High School football coach Marcus Borden has asked the Supreme Court to review a ruling from the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in April. The appeals panel reversed a 2006 ruling that allowed Borden to silently bow his head and "take a knee" with players as the team prayed.
The appeals court judges upheld the school board policy barring school staff from joining in student-led prayer, but differed on what exactly the coach should do when his team prays.
One judge said the coach's former practice of leading team prayers made his head-bowing seem inappropriate as an endorsement of religion.

How to Design the Garden You Want
May 23, 2015 by Melissa
Filed under Gardening 101
There are many different ways of designing your garden and it is important that you choose the one that is right for you, your family and your lifestyle in general. Using your available resources (money, time, plot, strength and skills), you will want to make something that:
- is well built and safe – you don't, for example, want to have to rebuild features after a couple of years, let alone install paving that becomes dangerously slippery or build an unfenced swimming pool or water feature where small children may subsequently be playing
- does what you want – if you want to sunbathe by the house then it's not a good idea to build a patio in an area that is always shady or overlooked
- makes you happy – if you and anyone who uses your garden likes it and it doesn't annoy anyone else (for example, your neighbours – by stealing all their light) that is all that really matters. People's tastes will always differ and fashions change over the years, but choosing the things and plants you like, successfully put together in the way you like, will give you the best opportunity to enjoy your garden and your gardening. What William Morris said of houses could equally well apply to gardens: 'Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.'
- possibly, but more likely nowadays, is environmentally friendly and encourages biodiversity.
Even if you take on an established garden, it is still worth taking time to consider how well it suits you and your needs. You might find that while you do want to make some changes, these can be phased over time. Most changes involving structural features, such as patios and paths, can be done at any time when there isn't a hard frost that will prevent mortar and cement from setting, but changes involving plants are usually best carried out in spring and autumn.
However, you may not have inherited an established garden in good order. You may have bought a new house and even a new house sitting in a sea of builders' rubble and mud! Or you may have taken on a completely overgrown or unsuitable garden. In these cases, the planning stage is vital if you are to get a good return on your efforts.
- Ideally you should make a scale drawing of the plot, taking into account the factors such as soil, aspect, etc. If you like drawing you will enjoy this phase. If you don't, on a sheet of paper roughly draw the shape of the garden and mark where you want the principal features to go. At this stage, it is enough to write 'lawn', 'bed', 'patio', etc. When you mark it out on the actual site you will get a much better idea how it will look. For a precise style, such as a formal garden, your planning will need to be more detailed.
- Once you know what you want, mark it out in the garden using pegs and string, sand trickled through a funnel, or a garden hose. You will need to take account of the height of any features and how large your plants will grow.
For many people it is unlikely that the whole plan will be executed immediately, and there is no harm in creating your garden design bit by bit as long as you are still following an overall scheme that will eventually bring the whole garden together. In fact, putting your plans into practice in stages is often a good thing as it allows you to make alterations – what you have mapped out on paper does not always turn into the reality you expect. Whatever changes you make, it is important that the garden has a unified structure and is not simply a collection of disjointed elements. It will work best if you design it so that the different areas lead into one another – paths, arches, curved beds and even steps all provide good linking features.
You can alter the feel of your garden without making major structural changes. Using color is a good way to achieve this. Hot colors, such as reds and oranges, will make flowers stand out and the garden seem lively, whereas strong blues will make it feel cooler and soft shades, such as mauves, pale blues and pinks, will make it soothing and restful.
Here are some features you may need to take into account in your garden design:
- tool/bicycle/car storage
- patio
- barbecues and eating areas
- washing line
- rubbish areas (household and garden)
- compost bins
- bonfire site
- play area
- summer house/conservatory
- water features
- swimming pools
- paths
- areas for pets
- trellis/pergola
- anything to increase privacy and reduce noise
- containers
- trees
- kitchen garden
- area for cut flowers
- herb garden
- greenhouse.
The Demand for Great Landscapes in Leicester
June 11, 2014 by Melissa
Filed under Professional Landscaping And Garden Design Advice
Over the last few years, the area of Leicestershire has shown a great rise in the need for quality landscaping and those investing in their properties. With the increasing costs involved with moving combined with the hassle and need for preparation, many have decided to instead invest in their own property.
Since Leicester has had a lot of coverage recently and is growing slowly in population, houses will becoming in demand in the next few years. With the increasing number of new builds, interior improvements are limited to what will increase the value of your home. So what better way to invest in your home than your outdoor area via professional landscaping.
Since Leicester is a large city, there are limited views of green grass and natural outdoor features. Having this in your back garden will make a huge difference to your mood and make your home appear more appealing for years to come.
Getting a landscape gardener involved
When it comes to professional landscaping in Leicester we recommend Groby Landscapes as our first choice, they can do anything from paving through to garden design and really prestigious commercial projects. Since they are local you can have a thorough meeting with them before committing to any project.
First thing to do is to measure your garden and make sure you have sufficient room to play with, the cost will vary greatly with both with the space you want to reinvent and the type of features you want to implement. Generally simple grass areas will not cost to much, whereas including a water feature, patio or arch might add to the costs considerably.
It's also worth looking at where the sun will hit at certain times of the day, baring in mind that you may want a shaded area such as a patio for sitting with friends. You should also get used to the main factors of landscape design which includes colour, form, line, scale and texture. Much like redecorating your bedroom or living room, you will want consistency in some of these things.
Looking at your ground, start to think of how plants might be arranged best. Make a list of your favourite flowers and if you know someone who is handy with CAD, get them to draw up a plan. Many garden designers use CAD programmes to create artwork so you can see how well your Leicester garden might look like after a professional landscaper has worked his magic.
Handheld Leaf Blowers: A Time Saver
May 17, 2014 by Melissa
Filed under Gardening Tools
It's a big deal to be able to save time doing something especially if you have a busy schedule. The handheld leaf blowers are surely going to help you save a lot of time doing the chore of getting read of those leaves outdoors. There are even reports that say blowers are also used to tidy up what's indoors.
Leaf blowers' production started in the 70's and in 1985 75,000 of it were sold and in 2010 it reached over 4 million and the tedious work of cleaning up those fallen leaves became less daunting.
A leaf blower is pretty much just a portable turbine fan that's powered by gas engine or by electricity that blasts the air through its tube. The air that's forced out of the tube, when directed to leaves or debris, will move them towards the area that you want them placed so they can be disposed of easily once done.
The electric leaf blower reviews show that it has several features that are quite appealing to many homeowners. One particular feature is how easy it is to use. You only need to have an extension power cord and turn on the switch. You don't have any requirements with the storing of the flammable fuel and its additives and you don't have to worry and get frustrated about pulling the starter cord several times to get the engine going. The electric blower can deliver 250 cubic feet per minute of air through its tube and some types even allow adjustments to the flow.
One other attraction to this type of blower is the price. You can get one at just $40 or at most at around $150. They're also cheaper to operate because it only runs on electricity and there's no need to maintain its engine just like you'd do for a fuel-powered engine. It also doesn't produce fumes and are quieter than the gas powered ones.
If you're not fond of the electrical blowers then the gas powered blower is for you especially when distance from the power outlet is an issue or if there are no power outlets at all. The gas powered leaf blowers are also more powerful than the electric blowers. There are those with 2 cycle OHVs that are more efficient and can last longer and more powerful.
The choice of having a handheld leaf blower really depends on your situation and choice. It's a great tool for your yard. The best backpack blower is great as it allows you the convenience of cleaning the yard with the blower at your back. It's not very heavy.

Making Accurate Cuts With a Sliding Miter Saw
March 7, 2014 by Melissa
Filed under Gardening 101
For making accurate cross-cuts and angles. the basic miter saw is premiere. There are two separate kinds of miter saw, the electrically powered and the manual saw. What achieves the accuracy of cuts is the blade that is suspended on rollers while being held in a metal guide.
While the manual miter saw was formerly used mostly for framing, the power saw is replacing it for most operations. With the power saw the blade drops onto the wood for a quick chopping cut which is cleaner and more accurate. Since the wood being cut is pressed firmly against a fence, this sharp cut is very clean.
The angled cuts can be made in 1 degree increments on most miter saws although most models also have several preset cuts at 15, 30 and 45 degrees since these are the most common cutting angles.
On a compound miter saw the blade can also be angles so as to cut a beveled egde to the material. While the basic miter saw just drops the blade straight down, the sliding saw has the blade mounted on two tubes so that the blade can also be pulled along horizontally for a longer cut per stroke.
Most power miter saws now have a laser sight which accurately shows exactly where the blade is going to cut into the material. A blade guard is critical to safe operation. This guard is spring loaded so that it always covers the blade except for when the wood pushes it up as the blade engages. When the blade is raised, the guard drops back to cover the teeth.
Another feature that helps with the cutting accuracy is the dust bag. Collected piles of sawdust can throw the blade off so this bag collects it as the cuts are made to keep the surface clear. With a well-maintained miter saw it is very hard to make a false cut and ruin materials.
5 Suggestions for Garage Workbenches
March 3, 2014 by Melissa
Filed under Gardening Tools
Most people that are thinking on purchasing a workbench will place it in their garage, because that is generally the best place to perform any woodwork tasks. However there are also some people that choose to add their workbenches to the basement.
Generally they place the benches where ever they find suitable, in places that are easy to clean with lots of space available. The main reason that most people place their workbenches in the garage is because it is a space that requires little to no cleaning afterwards. People can leave the space a bit of a mess without worrying about others observing it.
However, this does not give a person an excuse to keep their work area cluttered or dirty, because it could become a hazard. A garage workbench has been ideal to most because it allows people to work stress free and easily on their projects. If you haven't already chosen a garage workbench to purchase then it might help if you could consider the things listed below.
The first thing that you need to do before you purchase your workbench for your garage is determine where you plan to put the workbench. You should have enough space for the workbench that you plan to purchase. Take some measurements so that you will know which bench would be the best portable workbench to fit in that particular area where you plan on placing it.
Hooks & Drawers
What is a workbench without hooks and drawers? You will need a good amount of space on your workbench with plenty of drawer space and hooks to place the tools properly in order to keep your work area well organized. This will also ensure that you don't lose any of your tools or that none of the tools fall on the floor.
Sturdiness in a garage workbench matters. You will need your workbench to be sturdy so that you will be able to work at the bench without it moving around or being wobbly. A cheap workbench could mean that your projects will not be done properly. Portable workbench reviews are ideal to read, especially if you plan to purchase a workbench online because you won't really know how sturdy a workbench is you have assembled it an used it for yourself. However, those that have purchased the workbench that you are interested in buying will let you know just how sturdy the bench is.
Height of the workbench
Choose a workbench according to its height as well. You need to choose a workbench depending upon how tall you are so that you can work comfortably at the bench. You would be surprised at how much the height of your workbench matters. You don't want to have to bend down too low because you have a short bench, or struggle to reach up on a taller bench.
Build your workbench
Custom building your workbench might be a good idea if you cannot find a garage workbench that meets all of your personal requirements and standards.
Why Use a Lathe Machine?
February 22, 2014 by Melissa
Filed under Gardening Tools
In general, a lathe machine is used to give a shape to an object by rotating it on its axis. At a high level, think of a desktop globe spinning on its axis. A lathe machine does this much faster.
Background of the Lathe Machine
The idea behind the lathe machine was introduced somewhere around 1300 B.C. Over the centuries it has been improved upon and diversified to the machines used today by industrial shops as well as hobbyists. You'll find lathes used in steel fabrication, carpentry, mechanical applications, and even glass working.
What Are Lathes Used For?
As mentioned previously, lathe machines are used to give shape to an object by spinning it. However it has other uses as well with regard to forming a final piece. A lathe machine also used for:
- Sanding
- Cutting
- Drilling at specific angles or where traditional drills cannot go
- Wood working
- Metal working
- Watchmaking
- Turning to make ornaments
- Glass working
- Spinning metal
- Boring
- Turning round metal bars into bolts by threading
And these uses are only the beginning. Lathes are used to create a seemingly endless array of products.
When a lathe is used for boring, you'll find that it can drill a hole up to six inches. It does this by using extremely sharp tools.
In cutting, you will find tools such as a diamond cutting tool or an M.S. cutting tool that are extremely effective for slicing through solid materials.
The Parts of a Lathe Machine
Typical parts that you will find on a lathe machine include:
- Head stock
- Compound rest
- Saddle
- Clutch knob
- Half-nut lever
- Face plate
- Tool post
- Back gear level
- Feed service lever
These are just some of the main parts. Each part has its specific function and together they work to produce a turned and finished product.
The Different Types of Lathes
For the uses above, you will find different types of lathe machines. For metal working, you'll find lathes used specifically for working metals. Likewise, you'll find woodworking lathes in carpentry shops.
Whatever the job, you'll find a lathe that can handle it.
Japanese Garden Design
November 11, 2013 by Melissa
Filed under Regional Gardening Designs
The Practical Use of Stones and Boulders Japanese garden design consists of many different elements and plant life. No matter what design or elements you chose for your Japanese garden you will always use one of three basic elements. These elements are Water features, rocks, and plants. It is best to thoroughly consider and discuss one of the Japanese garden elements at a time. In this article we will look at the different uses and qualities of the rocks features.
The first use for a rock feature camouflage. A Japanese garden should have a relaxing or Zen quality to it. This feeling is created by the calming a beautiful features of the garden. If unsightly things such as the water hose and spout, a busy highway or neighbors ugly yard can be seen the Zen effect can be lost. A large boulder can hide these things from view while in the garden. This makes it feel quiet and Zen like.
Some gardens have very bad soil in spots. Bad soil can kill any plant life cause your garden to look sparse and uninviting. Placing different sized, colored, and shaped stones in these areas you can create a balanced and beautiful Japanese garden.
Rocks can also bring out other features in the garden such as a water fountain or small pond. Natural ponds have rocks in and around them, so by adding rocks to a pond we can bring its natural beauty to light. We can even create a sitting area from which visitors can breathe gentle sighs of relief as their stress is relaxed away.
Rocks can also lead the way for you and your guests. Take your time and design your rock pathway in any pattern you like. Your visitors will slow down while walking your creations and consider what different shapes and patterns may mean. This can create another level of enjoyment as well steer them onward through your garden.
If you have areas of your garden that are not finished or where you just don't want traffic, rocks can provide a barrier to keep guests out. Create large but interesting rock formations that keep people guessing. In creating these dynamic displays guests will avoid off limits areas with out even noticing they were kept out. This is excellent for the very observant and hard to please visitor who may other wise be upset by the idea of being kept out.
Design your own unique back drop. Your visitors will enjoy their journey through your garden and want many pictures. Help capture that perfect shot by creating depth and interest behind your plants. Be sure to give your flowers enough space to bloom and grow without being hindered by the rocks.
Make hills and slopes safer and easier to walk up and down. Use some rocks to make a small staircase or to outline the flower beds. You may even want to use them as retaining walls to keep the soil and roots where they belong.
Give an existing stream new life. Line rocks decisively along the bottom of the stream. Create ebbs and flows and visibly define its borders. When you are done you will find your stream stands out as though it was larger and the erosion will be kept to a minimum.
Choosing your Perfect Garden Cabin
November 11, 2013 by Melissa
Filed under Gardening Tools
If you are the type of person that is looking for a garden home office that represents log cabins that you would find in the mountains, then you need to consider a few things. The most important thing to consider is the amount of space and location you have in your garden for your cabin home office.
Space is extremely important and you might have to do some landscaping in order to get the amount of space that you will need. You are also going to need to figure out the correct place to build your cabin home office to make sure it's easily accessible.
Cost is going to be another factor that determines what your cabin home office is going to be. There are a lot of options available to people on a budget and determining how much money you have available to build this cabin office of yours.
The more money you have available the more accessories you will be able to afford. Things like extra windows to bring light in, and even a bathroom can be added to your office to make it more comfortable for you and your clients when they come over.
You will need to make sure that you can get electricity to your office as well. This is going to require the hiring of a professional electrician to make sure that everything is done right and that you don't cause a fire or electrocute yourself. If you are planning on having water for your office, you will need a plumber to come in and make sure the water line and the sewer line are properly connected as well. You can create the most professional office that you can afford this way if you have the funds to do it.
People that prefer to have their home office out in their garden because of the privacy they can get. This means they are able to get more work done in less time because they don't have all the distractions that they would normally have if their office were in a room of their home. This may seem odd to some people, but having a cabin office in your garden could help you greatly with your home based business affairs.

Knowledge about the distribution of resources can lead to the development of spatial preferences and long-term site fidelity. Individuals are expected to choose sites that best suit their needs. However, dominant individuals restrict movements of less competitive ones. Accordingly, one may expect spatial preferences to differ with regard to individual characteristics and to change over time. We investigated lifetime changes of site fidelity patterns with regard to reproductive success in male Galápagos sea lions (Zalophus wollebaeki). Showing a high degree of natal philopatry in the first 2 years of life, non-territorial males pass through a stage of fidelity to their natal colony where they develop preferences for areas outside prime breeding areas. Variation in the degree of spatial preferences was not associated with age or size, characteristics linked to an individual's dominance status. For non-territorial males, roaming proved to be an adequate strategy to gain reproductive success. Only the most competitive males established territories in areas preferentially visited by females. They had a high probability to return to breeding areas where they successfully reproduced in previous seasons. Overall, the results reveal lifetime changes in site fidelity with regard to male status. The degree of site fidelity observed within the colony suggests familiarity and thus a high degree of tolerance among individuals using the same areas. This seems to facilitate attendance in the colony and thus the possibility to prospect for oestrus females.

Natural Remedies for Type 2 Diabetes

Are Herbs Really Safe for Diabetes Treatment? continued...
Chitosan is derived from seashells and has the ability to bind to fat and prevent its absorption. Although it is said to facilitate weight loss, available studies thus far have not been encouraging.
Germander, Momordica charantia, Sauropus androgynus, and aristolochic acid have been associated with liver disease, pulmonary disease, and kidney disease.
The other so-called "obesity remedies" listed have not been rigorously studied, and those that been reviewed have yielded disappointing results.
Also, a recent survey of herbal preparations for obesity found that many preparations contained lead or arsenic and other toxic metals. Some also contain other undeclared ingredients. Occasionally, there was mistaken plant identity as well.
What to Consider Before Using Natural Therapies for Diabetes Treatment
Before you think about using a natural therapy for diabetes treatment, be sure to consider the following:
- Discuss any drugs you use, including herbal products, with your doctor before taking them.
- If you experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, insomnia, diarrhea, or skin rashes, stop taking the herbal product and notify your doctor immediately.
- Avoid preparations made with more than one herb.
- Beware of commercial claims of what herbal products can do. Look for scientific-based sources of information.
Select brands of natural products carefully. Only purchase brands that list the herb's common and scientific name, the name and address of the manufacturer, a batch and lot number, expiration date, dosage guidelines, and potential side effects.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ The only Democrat from Johnson County in either chamber of the Kansas Legislature has decided against
seeking re-election.
Mike Slattery, of Mission, says he's giving up his House seat because he plans to go to graduate school to study business

has served in the House since 2009.
Johnson County is the state's most populous county. Seven of the 40 state senators and 22 of the 125 House members represent part of the northeastern Kansas county.
Slattery is the son of Jim Slattery, a Democrat who served in both the Kansas Legislature and the U.S. House.

Utah Attorney General
SALT LAKE CITY — Child identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America. It serves as a reminder that parents should be careful when sharing their children's name, date of birth or social security number with third parties.
Child identity theft occurs when a child's personal identifiers are stolen by an imposter and used in the application for credit, goods, benefits, services, licenses or employment. The identity thief could be a family member, a friend or a complete stranger. Identify thieves purposely target children because of the lengthy time between the theft and the discovery of the crime.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, child identity theft reports have more than doubled since 2006. With 144,213 reported cases in 2010, the FTC has predicted that number to double again by 2013.
Children are easy targets because identity thieves get an 8-10 year head start on them. Most are not aware they have become victims until they apply for a driver's license, employment, credit, the military or college.
While most child identity theft cases involve strangers, often split families or broken homes account for others. This is where one of the parents is the perpetrator and the crime is exposed by the other. More often than not, the offending parent has bad credit and is unable to obtain rental housing or open a utility account.
Discovery often occurs:
1. When attempting to open a savings/checking account or college fund. In this scenario, the unoffending parent discovers that there is already an account under the child's social security number or that the account is denied as a result of worthless checks on file at Telecheck or ChexSystems;
2. When pre-approved credit card offers come in the mail bearing the name of the child;
3. When credit cards, checks, invoices or bank statements not opened by an unoffending parent as a joint holder are received bearing the name of the child;
4. When debt collectors call and send letters about accounts not opened by the child;
5. When a child is denied a driver's license because another individual has one with their social security number. The imposter may even have accumulated traffic tickets in their name;
6. While going through papers during a divorce proceeding or while straightening up the house (in cases of parental identity theft);
7. When a law enforcement officer knocks at your door with a warrant for your child's arrest.
The FTC recommends vigilance when sharing personal information about your child and urges parents to report discrepancies to the agency.
Utah program aims to help parents, children
Child identity theft is part of a growing number of scams and is the fastest-growing segment of identity theft. Taking the initiative to be proactive in the fight against child identity theft, Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff recently implemented a new Child Identity Protection program aimed at curtailing these crimes against children.
Partnering with the TransUnion consumer reporting agency, Utahns can now protect their children against identity thieves by registering them with the state agency. Upon registration, the child's name and social security number are forwarded to the credit bureau where it is placed into a "high-risk" database, warning those who inquire not to issue credit or other benefits to applicants using that number.
"Parents can proactively reduce the incidence of identity theft for their children through our CIP program," Richard Hamp, the assistant attorney general who helped create the program, told KSL. "Although the program does not completely eliminate the risk for past identity theft victims, it does reduce it."
