The Airport Scanner Scam
by James Ridgeway
Scan, baby, scan. That's the mantra among politicians at all levels in the wake of the thwarted terrorist attack aboard a Detroit-bound passenger jet. According to conventional wisdom, the would-be "underwear bomber" could have been stopped by airport security if he'd been put through a full-body scanner, which would have revealed the cache of explosives attached to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's groin.
Within days or even hours of the bombing attempt, everyone was talking about so-called whole-body imaging as the magic bullet that could stop this type of attack. In announcing hearings by the Senate Homeland Security Commitee, Joe Lieberman approached the use of scanners as a foregone conclusion, saying one of the "big, urgent questions that we are holding this hearing to answer" was "Why isn't whole-body-scanning technology that can detect explosives in wider use?" Former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff told the Washington Post, "You've got to find some way of detecting things in parts of the body that aren't easy to get at. It's either pat downs or imaging, or otherwise hoping that bad guys haven't figured it out, and I guess bad guys have figured it out."
Since the alternative is being groped by airport screeners, the scanners might sound pretty good. The Transportation Security Administration has claimed that the images "are friendly enough to post in a preschool," though the pictures themselves tell another story, and numerous organizations have opposed them as a gross invasion of privacy. Beyond privacy issues, however, are questions about whether these machines really work-and about who stands to benefit most from their use. When it comes to high-tech screening methods, the TSA has a dismal record of enriching private corporations with failed technologies, and there are signs that the latest miracle device may just bring more of the same.
Known by their opponents as "digital strip search" machines, the full-body scanners use one of two technologies-millimeter wave sensors or backscatter x-rays-to see through clothing, producing ghostly images of naked passengers. Yet critics say that these, too, are highly fallible, and are incapable of revealing explosives hidden in body cavities-an age-old method for smuggling contraband. If that's the case, a terrorist could hide the entire bomb works within his or her body, and breeze through the virtual strip search undetected. Yesterday, the London Independent reported on "authoritative claims that officials at the [UK] Department for Transport and the Home Office have already tested the scanners and were not persuaded that they would work comprehensively against terrorist threats to aviation." A British defense-research firm reportedly found the machines unreliable in detecting "low-density" materials like plastics, chemicals, and liquids-precisely what the underwear bomber had stuffed in his briefs.
Yet the rush toward full-body scans already seems unstoppable. They were mandated today as part of the "enhanced" screening for travelers from selected countries, and hundreds of the machines are already on order, at a cost of about $150,000 apiece. Within days of the bombing attempt, Reuters was reporting that the "greater U.S. government shift toward using the high-tech devices could create a boom for makers of security imaging products, and it has already created a speculative spike in share prices in some companies."
Which brings us to the money shot. The body scanner is sure to get a go-ahead because of the illustrious personages hawking them. Chief among them is former DHS secretary Michael Chertoff, who now heads the Chertoff Group, which represents one of the leading manufacturers of whole-body-imaging machines, Rapiscan Systems. For days after the attack, Chertoff made the rounds on the media promoting the scanners, calling the bombing attempt "a very vivid lesson in the value of that machinery"-all without disclosing his relationship to Rapiscan. According to the Washington Post:
The Washington Examiner last week ran down an entire list of all the former Washington politicians and staff members who are now part of what it calls the "full-body scanner lobby":
In forecasting the fate of the full-body scanners, we can turn to recent history, which saw the rapid rise-and decline-of the previous "miracle" screening technology. In the years following 9/11, dozens of explosive trace portals (ETPs) were installed in airports across the country, at a cost of about $160,000 each. These "puffer" machines-so called because they blow air on passengers to dislodge explosive particles-were once celebrated as the "no-touch pat down." But in a Denver test by CBS in 2007, a network employee was sprayed with explosives and then walked through the airport's three puffers without any trouble. The machines also set off false alarms, and they frequently broke down, leading to sky-high maintenance costs.
After spending more than $30 million on the puffer machines-most of them purchased from GE-the TSA announced earlier this year that it was suspending their use. Only about 25 percent of the machines were ever even deployed at US airports. A report last month from the Government Accountability Office found that the TSA had not adequately tested the puffers before buying them.
What will happen if the full-body scanner goes the way of the puffer? Well, there's always the next generation of security equipment: the Body Orifice Security Scanner, or BOSS chair. This contraption, which has an uncomfortable resemblance to an electric chair, is used in prisons, mostly in the UK, for tracing cell phones, shivs, and other dangerous contraband that's been swallowed or inserted into body cavities by inmates. So far, it only detects metal, but you never know.

Kristina and Will were married at the White Orchid Beach House in Wailea-Makena, Hawaii on October 14 — all the way from Australia. The bride wore a sweetheart ruched a-line wedding gown, accessorized with a headband in her loose curls, while the groom wore a gray vest and pants, accessorized with argyle socks. Bridesmaids looked oh-so lovely in navy blue chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of all-white roses, orchids, and calla lilies. As intimate as the ceremony was overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the reception was even more so lit with a crystal chandelier, paper lanterns, and candles. Not to mention the palm trees! Each place setting featured a "thank you" tin for guests to take home with them. Can you guess what was inside? Well, it's a secret.

Quotation by Paulo Freire:
Paulo Freire (more by this author)
1921-1997 (Age at death: 76 approx.)
from wikipedia
Paulo Freire contributed a philosophy of education that came not only from the more classical approaches stemming from Plato, but also from modern Marxist and anti-colonialist thinkers. In fact, in many ways his Pedagogy of the Oppressed may be best read as an extension of, or reply to, Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth, which emphasized the need to provide native populations with an education which was simultaneously new and modern (rather than traditional) and anti-colonial (not simply an extension of the culture of the colonizer).
Freire is best-known for his attack on what he called the "banking" concept of education, in which the student was viewed as an empty account to be filled by the teacher. The basic critique was not new — Rousseau's conception of the child as an active learner was already a step away from tabula rasa (which is basically the same as the "banking concept"), and thinkers like John Dewey were strongly critical of the transmission of mere "facts" as the goal of education. Freire's work, however, updated the concept and placed it in context with current theories and practices of education, laying the foundation for what is now called critical pedagogy.
More challenging is Freire's strong aversion to the teacher-student dichotomy. This dichotomy is admitted in Rousseau and constrained in Dewey, but Freire comes close to insisting that it should be completely abolished.

Reebok: Senior Player Bag
Now straddling that not-so-fine line between the Majors and the Minors, righty pitcher Julio Teheran must be looking forward to some of the benefits of being a part of the Atlanta Braves franchise - like no longer having to tote his own bag everywhere. I wonder if players ever get nostalgic for all that schlepping they do before they "make" it . . .
This trivia game may not make the Braves perform any better this year, but it will definitely up your Braves IQ. As might the addition of righty pitcher Arodys Vizcaino to the Atlanta bullpen.
Stock up for the season . . . 15 days until MLB Opening Day.

And when I say spanking, I mean like spanking. Not beating a child, throwing a child, or other extremities.
Punishment. And like any good punishment if you're using it effectively you will not have to do it often.
The urge to sing In the Jungle is never more then a whim away. A whim away. Awhim away. awhimaway
I would never spank my child, but as long as it doesn't cross the line into beating...than to each thier own
I don't think that it's a particularly effective punishment, but I don't think it's child abuse.
Ari & Matt & Joseph Allan 5/2007
our one and only Jane Rowan 1/2011
want to know more about our relationship? click here!�
We choose not to do it to our child. We don't believe any type of hitting is appropriate, especially by a dominant adult over a child. However, those who use spanking appropriately, and within the confines of what the law allows, are not abusing their children IMO.
You can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
I think it's discipline as long as someone doesn't get carried away with doing it.
If you can't stand behind our soldiers and show them the support they deserve, please feel free to stand in front of them!!
I don't consider it child abuse, but I also don't consider it discipline. It is corporal punishment and something I disagree with. I don't think there is ever a reason to hit a child, barring some extremely unlikely horrendous scenario that someone will inevitably dream up.
If I hit my spouse, it's abuse. If I hit a stranger on the street, it's abuse. If I hit my dog, it's abuse. Since I can't fathom a single situation outside of hitting a child that isn't considered abuse...I'm going to say I consider it abuse.
Nasis, I agree with you. I also believe that each child is motivated differently and spanking, while effective for some, is not effective for all.
Spanking is motivating your child out of fear of physical pain. That is not a relationship I will choose to have with my child. I want him to respect me, not fear me.
I'm all for corporal punishment...as an athlete, it was very effective, and like someone mentioned, if used properly will only have to be using sparingly.

Rolling Stones & Led Zeppelin producer/engineer Andy Johns dead at 61
Listen to Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio | Listen to Led Zeppelin on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Veteran producer/engineer Andy Jones, who worked on some of the most acclaimed albums in the history of rock, died Sunday of unknown causes. He was 61.
British-born Johns' list of credits includes titles by the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen and others. Prior to being hospitalized last week, he was working on a forthcoming project by L.A. Guns guitarist Stacey Blades.
Although no cause of death was available as of this writing, Blades -- who was the last artist to work with Johns -- said, "His body just gave out. It was his time to go, I guess. He was battling health issues for about eight months. Andy and I were extremely close. I am just gutted today of his passing."
While in his teens, Johns dropped his dreams of rock stardom and opted to follow the footsteps of his older brother Glyn Johns, whose credits include work with The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles. One of his first gigs was serving as the second engineer on the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Axis: Bold as Love. Yet it was albums by Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones that made him a legend.

Aortic arch syndrome refers to a group of signs and symptoms associated with structural problems in the arteries that branch off the aortic arch. The aortic arch is the top part of the main artery carrying blood away from the heart.
Subclavian artery occlusive syndrome; Carotid artery occlusion syndrome; Subclavian steal syndrome; Vertebral-basilar artery occlusive syndrome
Aortic arch syndrome problems are most often associated with trauma, blood clots, or malformations that develop before birth. The arteries' defects result in abnormal blood flow to the head, neck, or arms.
In children, there are multiple types of aortic arch syndromes, including:
Symptoms vary according to the affected artery, but may include:
Surgery is usually required to treat the underlying cause of aortic arch syndrome.

Letter claims beating death of WWII vet was unintentional
A letter, reportedly written by one of two suspects in the beating death of WWII veteran Delbert Belton, claims his death was unintentional.
A copy of the confession, written by 16-year-old murder suspect Kenan Adams-Kinard, was released to KXLY in response to a public records request. The handwritten note was found in a basement where Adams-Kinard was found hiding five days after the attack on Belton.
Kinard and his young friends who hid him in the basement apartment were well aware of the community's outrage about Shorty Belton's death. The letter tries to show the murder was unintentional. Even though the letter isn't addressed to anyone, the suspect's friends told detectives it was written for the benefit of Kinard's mother.
It read, "I called Shorty. He told me to meet him at the Ice Arena. It was the first time I had ever met him."
Even though the writer represents themselves to be Kinard, the penmanship appears to be that of a young lady. A teen told detectives she helped Kinard author the letter.
The note details Kinard's actions in an alleged drug deal gone bad. The writer states Shorty "screamed for help so I socked him two more times. I took his wallet and another ounce of crack from his pocket. He was unconscious so I made sure he was breathing and took off."
The letter is signed vertically in the left hand margin with a signature that matches Kinard's signature on a juvenile court document.
Spokane Police continue to assert that their detectives have found no evidence Belton was a drug dealer.
The letter, intended to minimize Kinard's alleged involvement in Belton's murder, is now one of the strongest pieces of physical evidence against him.

Herriman •It was evident from the beginning that the No. 1 seed was going to defend its home-field advantage tooth and nail.
East found itself down 8-0 in the second quarter to home team Herriman, which reluctantly had been paired with the forfeit-stricken Leopards much sooner than it would have liked. And the Mustangs played with a fury to match their frustration.
Then East finally woke up.
"We started a little slow at first, but we got more into a rhythm as we got into the game," East running back Ula Tolatau said. "It was just breaking tackles and opening holes."
The Leopards (4-7) found enough gaps for big plays that tilted the game in their favor in a 27-16 win Saturday night. From a mesmerizing kick return to long, galloping runs that left the Mustangs (8-3) in the dust, East prevailed by busting out big yards and touchdowns in a game that first appeared to be a defensive battle.
The Leopards dominated at the line of scrimmage in the middle stretch of the contest. Quarterback Isaac Valles and Tolatau combined for 312 yards rushing and a pair of scores.
Perhaps no drive was more important, however, than the seven-minute possession in the fourth quarter that stalled a Herriman comeback attempt.
"We knew it would be a game, but I don't think we were expecting it to be that physical," East wideout and defensive end John Fakahafua. "We were impressed by our offensive line and defensive line, how they held up the whole game."
The defense suppressed the usually robust Herriman running game, holding stars Brandon Farmer and Francis Bernard to only 8 yards combined on the ground.
The Mustangs got life from quarterback Tueni Lupeamanu, who rolled left and right scrambling from East's pass rush. The senior piled up 310 yards and a score on a 17-of-39 night, blowing up the East secondary as few have this year.
But most of Herriman's progress came between the 20s. Although Lupeamanu found his receivers downfield, particularly Connor Johnson, they had limited success when the team got to the red zone. A 1-yard scoring run by Bernard and a two-point conversion gave Herriman some hope, but the Mustangs couldn't get a first down on their last two possessions.
East for the most part didn't wait to get to the red zone to score. Preston Curtis revitalized his team in the second quarter by returning a 95-yard kickoff for East's first points. That was followed by a 61-yard touchdown pass from Valles to Zach Swenson, a 16-yard touchdown run by Tolutau, and a 66-yard touchdown run by Valles.
East, which was playing its second game of the postseason without coach Brandon Matich, advanced to a quarterfinal date at Box Elder. The Leopards acknowledged they must play better to keep advancing.
Herriman's best-ever season came to a startling halt in the first round of the playoffs once again, albeit with highly unusual circumstances. But afterward, coach Larry Wilson didn't show anger that his team had to play East.
"I think that we obviously have taken great steps forward," Wilson said. "I'm not sure there's any moral victories, but there's certainly cause for our kids, our community and as a school to be very proud of what we have done."

Do Not Call. Consumers can greatly reduce the number of telemarketing calls they receive by registering for the National Do Not Call List. Registration is free and works for both landline and cell phone numbers. Protect yourself or your family members by calling toll-free at 1-888-382-1222 or registering online at www.donotcall.gov.
Exceptions to Do Not Call. Under Oregon law, certain solicitation calls are still allowed whether or not you are on the National Do Not Call Registry.
These include calls from:
If you are receiving telemarketing calls even though you are registered with the National Do Not Call List, please Report a Violation of the Do Not Call List.
Warning. Oregon Do Not Call law is distinct from laws and regulations governing the use of automatic dialer and announcing devices. Certain calls generated by a computer or other machine that disseminates a recorded or digital voice message might be exempt from Oregon Do Not Call law, but may still violate automatic dialer and announcing device statutes or regulations. Please see ORS 646A.370 et seq., and related federal automatic dialing and announcing device regulations for more information.

PTB for kids
Hi. My partner was diagnosed with PTB minimal. I am really concerned about the kids because they are very close to each other and I am very worried that he can contaminate their health. Can I ask some precautions that would help me save their health?

Have you had your children tested for PTB? It is quite contagious. If they have been exposed to your partner's illness, they should be tested themselves. If the test becomes positive, then it needs to be treated immediately.
The best precaution your partner can take is keep their face and mouth covered with a mask when they are near the children. From what I understand, they should also avoid the children as much as possible until they have undergone considerable treatment.

Yes, both my kids had undergone tuberculine testing and good news that it was negative. My partner is now undergoing a treatment for almost 2 months now.

It is not that this subject has been ignored by male directors.
Dr. Joshua Rubin and his team discovered that RB is significantly less active in male brain cells.
The story that did the trick, Salinger told a friend in a letter, was called "A male Goodbye."
The sign that said "Women do it better" (whatever that means, grumbled a male correspondent, baffled).
So the female was in the adult-film world, and the other male was just some model guy.
Her male acquaintances often brought up the Painful Subject.
In Togo male slaves work in the fields where yams are cultivated.
The ladies occupied, as usual, the hind seat of the coach, leaving that in front to their male companions.
They have set aside the old ideas of male dominion and of ascetic purity.
The skull of the male is 27 per cent heavier than that of fallenda and 58 per cent heavier than that of anguinae.
late 14c., "male human being; male fish or land animal," from Old French masle (adj.) "masculine, male, adult," also used as a noun (12c., Modern French mâle), from Latin masculus "masculine, male, worthy of a man" (cf. Provençal mascle, Spanish macho, Italian maschio), diminutive of mas (genitive maris) "male person or animal, male."
late 14c., from Old French male, masle "male, masculine; a male" (see male (n.)). Mechanical sense of "part of an instrument that penetrates another part" is from 1660s.

The 21-in-1 Twist-a-Nut multi-bit, dual-ratcheting screwdriver is a must-have for professional electricians.
According to the manufacturer, Ideal Industries, the tool offers more fastening applications than any other tool designed for electricians and provides 50% more torquing power than standard ratchets.
The tool is configured so that four bits are pre-loaded into the driver shaft with an additional 12 bits stored in the handle. The tool's two interchangeable chrome-vanadium shafts are designed for driving 1/4-inch, 5/16-inch, and 7/16-inch nuts.
The handle also includes two wire looping holes, as well as Ideal's patented Wire-Nut ratcheting wrench formed into the bottom of the handle, which works with twist-on wire connectors from both Ideal as well as other producers.
The tool is built around an all-metal, 28-tooth ratcheting mechanism that delivers 225-pounds of torque. It provides three-position ratcheting action—clockwise, counter-clockwise, and locked.
In building upon its 6-in-1 tool, Ideal redesigned the handle, which according to the manufacturer, brings added durability, comfort, and torque to the two-part dual durometer grip. The grip has "leopard spots" to make it easier to grip with wet hands.
The 21-in-1 Twist-a-Nut screwdriver is compatible with Ideal's conduit deburring tool and it's 6-in-1 tap tool.

Tim Middleton lives and breathes now, but the mind of the 42-year-old Eudora, Kan., man often floats to the future, to what one might call the printable life.
It is a time with tangible signs popping up with increasing frequency around the globe when nearly any product one needs is created by simply pushing a button and printing it out in usable three dimensions.
A pair of glasses? Print it.
A knee joint? Print it.
Red taillight lens for a '65 Mustang? Print it.
A birthday cake, a prom dress, a full-size house for a family of four?
Print away.
"I have attempted printing my own shoes," Middleton said, laughing.
He is a graphics designer who in the past two years has instructed more than 60 people on the art and science of 3-D printing in Saturday classes at Hammerspace, a community workshop in Kansas City for builders, hobbyists and inventors.
"They're kind of hard," Middleton said of his shoes. "The material is a little uncomfortable. But it is absolutely a possibility."
More than possible. Such specialty 3-D-printed shoes already exist, produced and sold along with 3-D-printed nylon bathing suits, jewelry and dresses by Continuum Fashion of New York.
Cakes, cookies, sailboats, toys, architectural models, musical instruments, weapons, prosthetic hands and legs: All are items in recent years proved to be producible by 3-D printers.
Interest is high enough that the federal government last year earmarked $30 million to help support a new public-private institute in Youngstown, Ohio, dedicated to promoting and funding 3-D printing research.
A game changer • It is a technology although already considered overhyped in some circles that many manufacturing experts say is even now only in its infancy, at a place similar to where personal and business computing was in the 1970s.
Like computing, they said, 3-D printing not only is likely to change the things we make and how we make and sell them, but also change how we live in good, bad and inconceivable ways.
"It is a bit tricky to predict," said Hod Lipson, a professor of mechanical engineering at Cornell University and co-author with Melba Kurman of Fabricated: The New World of 3D Printing, a 2013 book on the promises and perils of an emerging technology.
"It is a little like trying to sit down in the 1970s and predict how computers were going to be used. Everyone could predict it would automate payrolls, but no one ever predicted social media."
Given that caveat, Lipson predicted of 3-D printing: "It is going to change everything."
Exactly when, how and how much, of course, is hard to say.
A May article in The New England Journal of Medicine described how two Michigan doctors used a 3-D printer to save an infant's life by printing a custom tracheal splint to support the baby's airway.
In the past year, one young man's mission to use a 3-D printer to produce a workable handgun sparked immediate outcry from the public and concerned government officials who envision the technology being used to put caches of cheap and untraceable guns into the hands of criminals or terrorists.
In May, Cody Rutledge Wilson, a Texas law student who describes himself as a crypto-anarchist, test-fired a rudimentary handgun he created on a 3-D printer he bought on eBay. He released his gun design online, prompting the U.S. State Department to demand that he remove it.
Business ethicist Kirk O. Hanson of Santa Clara University said that improved technologies frequently usher in fresh fears. Better 2-D printing fostered high-grade counterfeiting. The Internet's role in money laundering continues to reveal itself.
Hanson said of 3-D printing: "This is simply the latest technological breakthrough that has great potential for good and great potential for harm."
Walls from moon dust? • Understanding 3-D printing and the future requires understanding how most products are made now.
The range is broad, from printing to stamping, casting to injection molding. Many manufacturing processes involve tooling or machining parts, a subtractive process that produces a part by cutting or chipping or shaving away.
"You start with a block of material and subtract things until you get what you want," said Robert Landers, a professor of mechanical engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla.
But the first word in 3-D printing's alternative name, additive manufacturing, tells how it is different.
Instead of chipping or cutting away at some material, a 3-D printer's nozzle runs back and forth, over and over again, oozing out layer after layer of whatever material is inside. It could be spools of plastic, metal, ceramic or cookie dough. These printers have already been used to create a heart valve. Some predict the printers will use biological tissue to create entire replacement organs.
Instructions for what to build are guided by software, much of which is free online. The 3-D printer builds a whole object in place, as if it were growing from the bottom up. Or it creates parts of an object that can be assembled.
Printers can be small enough to fit on a desk, using spools of thermoplastic filament that looks like weed trimmer line. Or they can be huge, with nozzles pouring out stone-like material to create walls or 10-foot-tall sculptures.
A few quick clicks online reveal the range of products, from military drones to crazy motorcycle frames to specialty cookies to, in Canada, a three-wheeled, egg-shaped hybrid car prototype called Urbee. A YouTube video from the MIT Media Lab shows a quick-motion video of a 3-D printer creating a playable flute.
In New Zealand, engineer Olaf Diegel's experiments with 3-D printing spurred for him a new market in intricate electric guitars with hollow, lace-like bodies.
"I used to be a wannabe rock star," Diegel said by email. "So two years ago, I decided to see if the 3-D printing technologies had improved to the point where they could make a real, working electric guitar. Not just a prototype, but the real thing, that could be sold as-is. It worked incredibly well, and I started blogging about it, and the business spun off from there."
In Italy, inventor Enrico Dini, chairman of Monolite UK Ltd., has created a massive printer he calls D-Shape to create tall, sturdy and intricate stone-like sculptures, organically shaped with many large curves and holes that would be difficult to create using traditional building techniques.
Made of a combination of magnesium powder, sand and adhesives, one such wall is being used as an artificial reef. In principle, the technique could be adapted to create walls to build homes. Another vision is astronauts using 3-D printers loaded with moon dust and other material to build housing on the lunar surface.
Small steps, big payoff • 3-D printing technology is not new. It first came to public notice in the early 1980s, and industries and scientists began toying and experimenting with it soon after. The airplane, automotive and other industries have used industrial 3-D printers for years to design and test specialty parts.
Few people, at this point, envision 3-D printing replacing the cost-effective injection molding or other mass production techniques in the near future, if ever.
"When you make parts for the automotive industry, for example, you have thousands and hundreds of thousands of components," said Landers, the Missouri professor. "I don't think it will ever compete with the truly high-volume stuff. It is very good for small volume."
For many companies, that means using the printers to work out kinks in prototypes before sending a product into mass production. Garmin uses several 3-D printers for prototypes. Likewise, Hallmark Cards has seven 3-D printers to test ideas and create small volumes of ornaments and keepsakes.
What is new is the growth in the industry, particularly in personal 3-D printers produced by companies with names like 3D Systems Corp., MakerBot, Stratasys, MakerGear, FlashForge and Zen Toolworks.
In May, Staples became the first major U.S. retailer to announce it would soon be selling 3D Systems' Cube 3-D printer at its stores, beginning in Europe, and also online starting at $1,299.
Additive manufacturing and 3-D printing is a $2.2 billion industry, according to a 2013 report prepared by Wohlers Associates, an industry consulting group in Fort Collins, Colo. It is barely a speck compared with the $1.8 trillion generated by U.S. manufacturing last year.
But in 2010, 2011 and 2012, the global market for 3-D or additive manufactured products grew 24.1 percent, 29.4 percent and 28.6 percent respectively, according to the report. Sales last year of industrial 3-D printers (those costing $5,000 or more) grew 19.3 percent, which is nothing compared with the personal 3-D printer market: up more than 300 percent each year on average since 2008.
At the University of Washington, mechanical engineering professor Mark Ganter speaks of environmental benefits.
At his school, a team of three students recently won a $100,000 prize as part of the national 3D4D Challenge. They took plastic milk bottles of the type that normally pile up in landfills and, after shredding them into something that looked like snowflakes, used the plastic in their 3-D printer to create a rowboat.
The winners, students Bethany Weeks, Matthew Rogge and Brandon Bowman, are using their idea and prize money to work with a U.S.-based organization to help address sanitation issues in Oaxaca, Mexico.
"If you knew you could 3-D-print a boat out of garbage and knew it meant that trees wouldn't have to get cut down," Ganter said. "isn't that worth doing?"
The essence of 3-D printing
Instead of chipping or cutting away at some material as is done in the usual manufacturing process, a 3-D printer's nozzle runs back and forth, over and over again, oozing out layer after layer of whatever material is inside. It could be spools of plastic, metal or cookie dough. These printers have already been used to create a heart valve. Some predict the printers will use biological tissue to create entire replacement organs.

NRA News Guest Compares Enforcement Of Maryland's Gun Laws To Operation Of Nazi Death Camps
Frank Borelli, a frequent guest on NRA News, noted the excuse used by Nazis who operated concentration camps that they were "just following orders" to applaud sheriffs who would "selectively enforce" Maryland's new gun violence prevention laws.
On May 16, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed into law [1] a ban on assault weapons, limits on high-capacity magazines and a handgun licensing scheme.
Borelli, who is the editor of the law enforcement news site Officer.com and is a regular guest [2] on NRA News, made the Nazi comparison as a counterpoint to an editorial [3] by Maryland House of Delegates member Jon S. Cardin that criticized a Maryland sheriff who said he would not enforce the new laws.
From the June 20 edition of Cam & Company on the Sportsman Channel:
CAM EDWARDS, HOST: The Baltimore Sun is very upset, particularly Jon Cardin is incensed that there are sheriffs in the state of Maryland who say that they will not be enforcing the new gun control laws against otherwise legal law-abiding gun owners. He says this is a horrible idea, in a country dependent on the rule of law, he says, to protect civil rights and public safety this is dangerous and distressing. I'm curious, what's your take, Frank?
FRANK BORELLI: I'd like to ask Mr. Cardin one question. Does he feel that when Nazis working the death camps used the excuse of, I was just following orders, was that an acceptable excuse and did it exempt them for moral turpitude for their actions? And I'd like to hear him justify that.
These sheriffs have stepped up, again this is my opinion, these sheriffs have stepped up and said you know what, we don't [sic] feel these laws are unconstitutional therefore we're not going to enforce them. They're saying, hey, this isn't a lawful order. These laws aren't enforceable. We choose not to enforce them. I commend them for their courage to do so.
The NRA's programming has frequently employed Nazi imagery to attack proponents of stronger gun laws or to draw ahistorical comparisons [4] between gun violence prevention measures and Nazism.
During a May 4 keynote presentation at the NRA's annual meeting, Glenn Beck depicted New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg with his arm raised in a Nazi salute [5] and wearing an armband. Beck claimed that the image was based on one of Lenin but acknowledged that the pose was "a sieg heil salute."
In a March 1 interview, then-NRA President David Keene defended protesters of New York's gun laws who depicted New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo as Adolf Hitler [6] during a rally in Albany. According to Keene, "Folks that are cognizant of the history not just in Germany but elsewhere look back to that history and say we can't let that sort of thing happen here." NRA News investigative reporter Ginny Simone, who produced a report on the rally, noted that one of the "great signs" on display included the phrase "Adolf Cuomo."
Edwards' program has also featured a warning [7] that gun violence prevention laws could led to the imposition of Nazi-style rule in the United States. On the March 1 edition of Cam & Company, NRA board member Ronnie Barrett compared states' efforts to strengthen gun violence prevention laws to Nazi Germany and suggested that disarming Americans could lead to "the death of millions."

Fox Interrupts Its Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric To Promote Bush Conference On How Immigrants Benefit Economy
Blog ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
Despite its long history of anti-immigrant rhetoric, Fox News promoted a conference sponsored by former President George W. Bush's foundation that discussed the benefits immigrants bring to the U.S. economy.
On the December 4 edition of America's Newsroom, Fox correspondent Casey Stegall reported live from the conference in Dallas where Bush was about to speak. According to Stegall, the conference featured discussions of "how immigration actually benefits the economy and how reform is really necessary to get the economic engines going." Stegall's report contained footage of a woman stating that "immigrants actually accelerate growth."
While waiting for Bush to take the podium, Happening Now co-host Jon Scott interviewed The Hill's A.B. Stoddard about how Bush now wants to have a role in the "reset" of the Republican Party on issues of immigration. Scott noted that Bush "did pretty well" with Hispanics as a presidential candidate, while Stoddard highlighted how Bush "spent so much time" in Texas "speaking Spanish, living among -- a place where the demographics were changing so quickly. ... He knew this had to be a part of the Republican tent." After airing about four minutes of Bush's speech, Scott and Stoddard returned to discuss immigration again.
Only since the November presidential election has Fox changed its tune on immigration. In the days following the election, at least three previously anti-immigrant Fox News hosts encouraged the GOP to embrace immigrants following Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's poor showing among Latino voters. This sudden shift and Fox's now moderate tone in promoting Bush's conference contrasts sharply with the strident anti-immigrant rhetoric typically found on the channel:
Fox largely shuns pro-immigrant voices -- more than 60 percent of Fox guests discussing immigration in one 14-month period held anti-immigrant views.
In that same period, more than three-fourths of discussions on Fox about immigration involved issues of criminality, essentially making immigrants and crime synonymous.
Fox hosts have bashed the Hispanic civil rights group National Council of La Raza.
Fox has given airtime to serve as a platform for representatives of extremist anti-immigration groups.
Fox frequently uses the term "illegals" to describe undocumented immigrants - a term that is considered a pejorative.
Further contradicting the conference's message on "how immigration actually benefits the economy," just the day before Fox falsely portrayed in-state college tuition for qualified undocumented immigrants as being provided "on the backs of legal students."
But even while promoting Bush's speech, Fox couldn't stay moderate for long. In the final segment featuring Stoddard and Scott, Stoddard used the term "illegals."
In August, News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch spoke at a conference to get "beyond politics and antiquated notions about immigration," despite the prominent role his Fox News plays in perpetuating such notions.

My first reaction, and my second, third and fourth, was the howl of pain.
Bundy offered his own view: "My five-second reaction is to have the small war but not today."
The reaction of Republican Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois was typical.
That felt like cheating, I imagined my own reaction to reading a book and then finding such an addendum at the end.
Which is one reason why the reaction to this study from Obamacare's supporters has frankly been a bit disappointing.
It must be remembered that following the war there was a reaction against Seward.
You saw the reaction of the Duke when he realized that Flor was actually a serf?
"You can bet their first reaction would be to dismantle the ship at sight," Garth informed him.
But did you think of the reaction of the townsmen and peasants?
Not that the reaction is so definitely formulated in the moment of experience; but this is something of what is felt.
"action in resistance or response to another action or power," 1610s, from re- "again, anew" + action (q.v.). Modeled on French réaction, older Italian reattione, from Medieval Latin reactionem (nominative reactio), noun of action formed in Late Latin from past participle stem of Latin reagere "react," from re- "back" + agere "to do, act" (see act (v.)).
Originally scientific; physiological sense is attested from 1805; psychological sense first recorded 1887; general sense of "action or feeling in response" (to a statement, event, etc.) is recorded from 1914. Reaction time, "time elapsing between the action of an external stimulus and the giving of a signal in reply," attested by 1874.
reaction re·ac·tion (rē-āk'shən)
A response of an organism or living tissue to a stimulus.
The state resulting from such a response.
A chemical change or transformation in which a substance decomposes, combines with other substances, or interchanges constituents with other substances.
The response of cells or tissues to an antigen, as in a test for immunization.
A pattern of behavior constituting a mental disorder or personality type.

A Knox County judge on Thursday gave three men accused of stealing items from the Stokely Athletics Center another chance to clear their records after attorneys discovered a clerical error that wrongly listed each of them as convicted of theft charges.
The move comes almost three months after WBIR 10 News first broke a series of stories detailing a systemic problem inside Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey's office that has led to wrongful arrests, cases set aside due to errors, and residents temporarily losing their right to vote.
"The bright spot in all this is how diligent the District Attorney's Office has been in trying to resolve this," said Knoxville defense attorney Todd Daniel, who represented the men Thursday. "The scary part or the dangerous part of all this is, as a lawyer who is in these courts on a daily basis and there's a lot of us, I don't know how far we need to go back into our files and research every case that we've done to make sure this hasn't happened to other individuals."
Go to the 10News Investigative page to view previous stories
During a brief court hearing on Thursday, Daniel told General Sessions Judge Tony Stansberry that one of the defendants learned about the mistake after a college he applied to discovered the "conviction" during a background check.
Attorneys then researched the backgrounds of the other two defendants and found similar mistakes.
The trio initially pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft last June and were given judicial diversion, meaning that if they don't get in trouble for a year they can ask that the offense be expunged, according to Assistant District Attorney General Samyah Jubran. The defendants at the time also were each ordered to pay almost $1,800 in restitution and court costs.
Stansberry on Thursday ordered the cases to be corrected immediately.
"What becomes problematic with this is discovering the problem because until the issues raises its head, you don't know (about it)," Daniel said.
He called the issue a "correctable problem," but one that "could potentially cause a hardship."
Authorities in December 2012 initially charged Andrew Noyes, 21, Ilya Gofman, 21, and Reid Terry, 22, with theft after responding to a burglary call at the Stokely Athletics Center on Volunteer Boulevard. The men were accused of taking thousands of dollars worth of items, including clothing and uniforms for Smokey, the mascot, according to their warrants.
McCroskey, who maintains the department that oversees the official records for the Fourth Circuit Court, General Sessions, and Criminal Court, has come under fire since a WBIR investigation reported that many of the mistakes appear tied to poor training, outdated information and her refusal to cooperate with other county departments.
Court workers often enter the wrong data into the records management system, lose crucial paperwork and provide defendants, prosecutors, and authorities with bad information.
McCroskey, who did not return a call seeking comment Thursday, has denied much of the allegations, often telling county leaders and the media that she wasn't even aware of them.
Officials, though, continue to discover more errors.
For example, an email sent from Jubran to a number of judges in early December documented more than a dozen examples of clerical mistakes that either did affect or could potentially affect a motorist's driving record.
She also cited another example of a wrongful arrests in which authorities took a teenager into custody for eight hours after records reflected that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.
A lawyer for the teen has since filed a letter with the county, demanding $50,000 in damages.

Hair shampoo Recommendation
Hi there!
I have a 2 year old son whose playful day in and day out resulting to sweating too much and I have noticed that his hair smells terribly bad in the middle of the day. I gave him bath in the morning and I use head-to-toe baby wash on him and I guess it needs to be changed to a shampoo for his hair. Is there a shampoo you would recommend to use that is safe for a 2 year old boy?
Response is appreciated. Thanks!

I really like Weleda Baby Products, and you can find the Weleda Baby Shampoo on this site.
The only other thing that comes to mind is whether your child is getting enough chlorophyll in his diet through green leafy vegetables like spinach, chard, kale, lettuce, etc.
Children often life steamed vegetables with butter, or you can make a green smoothie for you and the boys.
Orange juice
Handful of dark leafy greens like Romaine or baby greens or spinach.
The smoothie will be a bright green and children usually love it!
Chlorophyll is a natural body deodorizer so this may help some. Otherwise just try another shampoo until you find something that works. You may even be able to use your shampoo as long as he sits still enough so that it doesn't get in his eyes.
Warm regards,

SOUTHINGTON, CT -- A citizen group calling itself Southington SOS said it plans to sponsor a public burning of videogames deemed "violent" on Jan. 12. The mass burning will be staged in response to the mass shootings on Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in nearby Newtown.
Southington SOS is offering gift certificates in exchange for donated consumer game software, as well as CDs or DVDs with content deemed "violent." Members of the Greater Southington Chamber of Commerce are donating the certificates.
SOS is a coalition of local civic organizations. A spokesman said it does not claim that videogames caused the massacre at Sandy Hook, but asserted that violent games, films and music lyrics do condition children to "acts of violence."
A statement from SOS charged that a "continuous stream of violence and killing [in popular media] has contributed to increasing aggressiveness, fear, anxiety and is desensitizing our children to acts of violence including bullying."
Sandy Hook pupils returned to classes for the first time on Jan. 3 in the neighboring town of Monroe. Sandy Hook Elementary remains quarantined as a crime scene. According to some reports, the facility may never reopen.

I think we assume that being a kid is just fun and games 24-7 (which is exactly how it should be!) but for some kids, there's a little more to it, like the added burden of having to take care of a disease. Kids with diabetes (adults too, for that matter) often are required to undergo insulin therapy. In the past, that often meant having parents or caretakers inject them daily with insulin, or even inject it themselves. Recently, medical science has come up with insulin pumps, a HUGE advance and GIGANTIC help to the kids and their families, not to mention more effective in making sure they get what they need when they need it.
Insulin pumps deliver rapid- or short-acting insulin 24 hours a day through a catheter placed under the skin. Insulin pumps mean fewer needle pokes and a lot less hassle! The only thing is what to do with the insulin pack they have to carry around. The American Diabetes Association recommends a pump case that can be attached to a waistband, pocket, bra, garter belt, sock, or underwear. That's great, but here's an idea that takes it one step further — an insulin pump case that kids can customize themselves.
And here's Nikki at work on hers…
I think this is an awesome idea. I know you will too after you read more about how Draw Pak came to be from Pump Wear Inc. co-founder Julie DeFruscio:
Tell me a little about your business.
Pump Wear Inc. was started by myself and my best friend Dawn Juneau, when my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and went on an insulin pump. Quickly realizing that products out there for holding the insulin pump were very medical looking, we started a company to fill the need for fun creative ways for my daughter to wear the insulin pump. Pump Wear Inc. is a place where kids are kids and adults just have fun!
How did you come up with the idea?
We were always looking for ways to let children have fun. We believe in making wearing an insulin pump a positive experience. Kids and adults love to draw and color so why not let them create their very own cases! Each Draw pak is unique to the child or adult and a true original.
How are Sharpie markers incorporated?
We like Sharpie's because once the drawing is finished the marker stays on nicely no smudging or wiping off a Sharpie! Also the ease of using the Sharpie markers makes drawing on the pak fun and creative. Plus they have lots of fun colors!
The Draw Paks benefit everyone who does one, they are able to come up with their very own designs or simply say something they want to say, simply by saying it or drawing it with a Sharpie Marker! All age groups can enjoy the Draw Paks, and the thing that we truly love is that children and adults can just have fun and show their creativity.
Why are Sharpie markers a good fit for this?
Sharpie Markers are reliable, easy to use, and readily available with a large selection of colors to choose from.
Tell us about some of your favorite designs. Why do they resonate with you?
Personally I like the pictures that the kids themselves draw, they are so cute and original!
What is truly inspirational is that my daughter's friends enjoy doing the pump cases and they don't have diabetes! So how great is it for children with diabetes to have friends wanting to create cases like them! Children without diabetes loving products that children with diabetes wear to survive.
Can you tell us a little about how insulin pumps are used why your product is helpful in that process?
Insulin pumps are used to dispense insulin, they are the size of a beeper and worn as life support for children and adults that suffer from type 1 diabetes. Our line of cases are used to hold the insulin pump.
How has this product been received?
The product is new but the feed back so far has been positive. We see this as a growing concept of allowing people the ability to create items themselves.
Do you think you'll expand the idea to other items?
Yes, we actually have a spin off company called http://girlygirlstudio.com and the Draw Paks are being incorporated into our Birthday Parties where kids can have a party and all do a Draw Pak. They get to walk away with their very own design!
Anything else you'd like to add that I didn't ask?
Yes, we would just like to thank Sharpie for their continued influx of fun colors and reliable easy markers!

Whether you own a desktop, tablet, smartphone or iPod, chances are that the built-in speakers aren't delivering the best quality sound. For times when you're hosting a big party and want to share your music collection with large groups of people, it is essential to have high-quality speakers to ensure that your guests can fully enjoy high-end, quality versions of their favorite tunes. Nevertheless, before you head to your local electronics store or start searching the web, here are a few basic tips to remember for choosing the perfect speakers to really amplify audio, regardless of what device you own.
Overall Sound Quality
The important thing to keep in mind when determining the sound quality of speakers is this: disregard the specifications outlined by manufacturers. Because there really is no science behind testing sound quality, details such as frequency-response numbers are pretty pointless to consider. The best thing to do for deciding whether you are truly happy with the output quality of speakers before purchase is to depend on your own ears! Test them out in the store before buying to see if the overall sound quality truly meets your expectations. Most importantly, be sure to take your time and try out a wide range of songs.
A good way to tell that speakers are of high quality is if they offer a balance between the upper, middle-range, and lower frequencies. As a result, sounds will be produced in a very full and rich tone, with the details of the song being clearly audible. Another thing to keep in mind when searching for speakers is to steer clear of extremely boomy, loud or thumpy systems. A big red flag should be raised in your mind when you notice that bass or treble details are prominent in the audio. Many times, these types of speakers are featured in displays simply because they pack a big punch, especially at an overly noisy, crowded store. Overall, it is best to stick with speakers that offer low frequencies to help produce detailed, rich sounds.
Speaker Controls
Instead of opting for basic speakers that don't offer system controls, it is better to search for a system that allows you to tweak volume levels and other essential sound elements. For example, several speaker systems enable the user to set their own bass and treble levels, making the listening experience more suitable for any specific atmosphere. So, whether you're hosting a big party or just looking to kick back and enjoy the melodic musings of your favorite singer, you'll be able to make the appropriate tuning adjustments.
Last but not least, we all know that price plays a large determining role in which speaker set you ultimately choose. Usually, the more you decide to spend on a system, the better the overall sound quality will be. Additionally, you will likely find more advanced and wide-ranging features for ensuring high-quality tuning and audio output. The good news is that speakers fall under the category of most generously discounted tech accessories. Regardless, remember to take your time and really shop around until you find the best fit for your listening needs!
