By Ross Werland, Chicago Tribune
Name: Lipault 22-inch foldable wheeled carry-on.
What it is: A soft-sided carry-on bag that collapses down to 4 inches deep from 8 inches for stowing in its own plastic bag to go in a closet or under a bed when you're back from the road.
The large zipped exterior pocket is handy for travel documents, and interior straps help secure clothing when you aren't filling the bag to capacity. It also has a telescoping handle for use as a drag bag, plus two comfortably padded handles top and side.
Weighing about 5 pounds, it measures 22 by 14 inches and comes in seven rich colors. The bag also has a three-year warranty.
The good: The most striking thing about this French carry-on is its elegant-looking, soft nylon twill fabric, which stands up amazingly well to the bumps of travel. After a few trips, it will still look new, so you don't have to default to drab black like the rest of the world.
The soft sides make this bag slip easily into an overhead bin, even if you stuff it full. And you may be tempted to load up, because it holds a lot for a 22-incher, again because of the soft sides.
The bad: When packing light, the bag can look a bit "winded," because it's not stuffed to fill out the sides.
Cost: $189.
Available from: lipault-us.com and amazon.com.

Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Symptoms of periodontal disease include red and swollen gums, persistent bad breath, and receding gums and loose teeth. Smoking, certain illnesses (such as diabetes), older age, and other factors increase the risk for periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease, your dentist may refer you to a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating this condition. Without proper treatment, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, and it has been linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Prevent Periodontal Disease: Practice Good Dental Hygiene
Consistent good dental hygiene can help prevent gingivitis and periodontitis. The American Dental Association recommends that everyone:
Scaling and root planning is the first approach for treating periodontal disease. This procedure is a deep cleaning to remove bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar). Scaling involves scraping tartar from above and below the gum line. Root planning smoothes the root surfaces of the teeth. Your dentist will reevaluate the success of this treatment in follow-up visits. If deep periodontal pockets and infection remain, periodontal surgery may be recommended.
Periodontal Disease and Heart Disease
Periodontal disease and heart disease are both inflammatory conditions. There appears to be an association between periodontal disease and heart disease, but it is not yet clear if having one condition increases the risk of developing the other. Periodontists and cardiologists recommend that:
The word "periodontal" means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gum and tissues that surround and support the teeth. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss.
The part of the mouth that consists of the gum and supporting structures is called the periodontium. It is made up of the following parts:
Periodontal diseases are generally divided into two groups:
Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria. Even in healthy mouths, the sulcus is teeming with bacteria, but they tend to be harmless varieties. Periodontal disease usually develops because of two events in the oral cavity: an increase in bacteria quantity and a change in balance of bacterial types from harmless to disease-causing bacteria. These harmful bacteria increase in mass and thickness until they form a sticky film called plaque.
In healthy mouths, plaque actually provides some barrier against outside bacterial invasion. When it accumulates to excessive levels, however, bacterial plaque sticks to the surfaces of the teeth and adjacent gums and causes infection, with subsequent swelling, redness, and warmth.
When plaque is allowed to remain in the periodontal area, it transforms into calculus (commonly known as tartar). This material has a rock-like consistency and grabs onto the tooth surface. It is much more difficult to remove than plaque, which is a soft mass.
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gingiva, or gums. It is characterized by tender, red, swollen gums that bleed easily and may be responsible for bad breath (halitosis) in some cases. Gingivitis can be treated by good dental hygiene, proper diet, and stopping smoking. Untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis.
Periodontitis occurs when the gum tissues separate from the tooth and sulcus, forming periodontal pockets. Periodontitis is characterized by:
There are different forms of periodontal disease. They include:
Chronic Periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis is the most common type of periodontitis. It can begin in adolescence but the disease usually does not become clinically significant until people reach their mid-30s.
Aggressive Periodontitis. Aggressive periodontitis is a subtype of chronic periodontitis that can occur as early as childhood. It can lead to severe bone loss by the time patients reach their early 20s.
Disease-Related Periodontitis. Periodontitis can also be associated with a number of systemic diseases, including type 1 diabetes, Down syndrome, AIDS, and several rare disorders of white blood cells.
Necrotizing Periodontal Disease. Necrotizing periodontal disease is an uncommon acute infection of the gum tissue. It is characterized by painful and bleeding gums, bad breath, and rapid onset of pain. If left untreated, necrotizing periodontal disease can spread throughout the facial areas (cheeks, jaw) and cause extensive damage. Necrotizing periodontal disease is usually associated with systemic health conditions such as HIV or malnutrition.
More than 75% of American adults have some form of gum disease but most are unaware of it. Risk factors for periodontal disease include:
Oral Hygiene. Lack of oral hygiene, such as not brushing or flossing regularly, encourages bacterial buildup and plaque formation.
Sugar and Acid. The bacteria that cause periodontal disease thrive in acidic environments. Eating sugars and other foods that increase the acidity in the mouth increase bacterial counts.
Poorly Contoured Restorations. Poorly contoured restorations (fillings or crowns) that provide traps for debris and plaque can also contribute to periodontitis.
Anatomical Tooth Abnormalities. Abnormal tooth structure can increase the risk of periodontal disease.
Wisdom Teeth. Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, can be a major breeding ground for the bacteria that cause periodontal disease. In fact, for patients in their 20s, periodontal disease is most likely to occur around the wisdom teeth. Periodontitis can occur in wisdom teeth that have broken through the gum as well as teeth that are impacted (buried). Adolescents and young adults with wisdom teeth should have a dentist check for signs of periodontal disease.
While gingivitis is nearly universal among children and adolescents, periodontitis typically occurs as people get older and is most common after age 35.
Female hormones affect the gums, and women are particularly susceptible to periodontal problems. Hormone-influenced gingivitis appears in some adolescents, in some pregnant women, and is occasionally a side effect of birth control medication.
Menstruation. Gingivitis may flare up in some women a few days before they menstruate, when progesterone levels are high. Gum inflammation may also occur during ovulation. Progesterone dilates blood vessels causing inflammation, and blocks the repair of collagen, the structural protein that supports the gums.
Pregnancy. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can aggravate existing gingivitis, which typically worsens around the second month and reaches a peak in the eighth month. Pregnancy does not cause gum disease, and simple preventive oral hygiene can help maintain healthy gums. Any pregnancy-related gingivitis usually resolves within a few months of delivery. Because periodontal disease may increase the risk for low-weight infants and cause other complications, it is important for pregnant women to see a dentist.
Menopause. Estrogen deficiency after menopause reduces bone mineral density, which can lead to bone loss. Bone loss is associated with both periodontal disease and osteoporosis (loss of bone density).
Family History. Periodontal disease often occurs in members of the same family. Genetic factors may play a role.
Intimacy. It may be possible to pass the bacteria that causes periodontal disease to others through saliva.
Smoking. Smoking is the single major preventable risk factor for periodontal disease. Smoking can cause bone loss and gum recession even in the absence of periodontal disease. The risk of periodontal disease increases with the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Smoking cigars and pipes carries the same risks as smoking cigarettes.
Substance Abuse. Long-term abuse of alcohol and certain types of illegal drugs (amphetamines) can damage gums and teeth.
Diet. A healthy diet, including eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, is important for good oral health. Malnutrition is a risk factor for periodontal disease.
Stress. Psychological stress can cause the body to release inflammatory hormones, which may trigger or worsen periodontal disease.
Diabetes. There is an association between diabetes (both type 1 and 2) and periodontal disease. Diabetes causes changes in blood vessels, and high levels of specific inflammatory chemicals such as interleukins, that significantly increase the chances of developing periodontal disease.
Heart Disease. There appears to be an association between periodontal disease and heart disease, but it is not yet clear if having one condition increases the risk for developing the other (see Complications section of this report).
Other Medical Conditions. A number of medical conditions can increase the risk of developing gingivitis and periodontal disease. They include conditions that affect the immune system such as HIV/AIDS, leukemia, and possibly autoimmune disorders (Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus).
Prescription Medications. Gingival overgrowth can be a side effect of many different drugs, most commonly phenytoin (Dilantin, generic), cyclosporine (Sandimmune, generic), and a short-acting form of the calcium channel blocker nifedipine (Procardia, generic).
There have been a few reports of osteonecrosis (bone destruction) of the jaw in patients who take oral bisphosphonate drugs such as alendronate (Fosamax, generic). These drugs are used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. However, almost all cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw associated with bisphosphonate drugs have occurred during or after the use of intravenous bisphosphonates, which are usually given to treat bone cancer or other cancers that have spread to the bone. Symptoms of osteonecrosis of the jaw include loose teeth, exposed jawbone, pain or swelling in the jaw, gum infections, and poor healing of the gums.
As a precaution, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that patients who are prescribed or are to receive bisphosphonate drugs get a thorough dental exam before beginning drug therapy, or as soon as possible after beginning therapy. The ADA also recommends that patients who take oral (pill form) bisphosphonate drugs should discuss with their dentists any potential risks from dental procedures (such as extractions and implants) that involve the jawbone. In any case, be sure to inform your dentist if you are taking any type of bisphosphonate drug. Your dentist or oral surgeon may need to take special precautions when performing dental surgery.
Researchers are studying the association between periodontal disease and heart disease. An inflammatory response, which occurs in both periodontal disease and heart disease, may be the common element. Some studies have reported that people who have severe periodontal disease have an increased risk for heart disease and stroke.
However, it is still not clear if periodontal disease actually causes heart disease. Periodontal disease may be a marker of risk for heart conditions rather than a direct risk factor. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force does not currently recommend using periodontal disease as a way to determine a healthy person's risk of developing heart disease.
It is also not clear if treating gum disease can reduce the risks of heart disease and improve health outcomes for patients with periodontal disease and vascular heart problems. Studies have been mixed, but research is ongoing.
Cardiologists and periodontists currently encourage each other to monitor both conditions in their patients. Periodontists recommend that patients who have periodontal disease and at least one risk factor for heart disease have an annual medical exam to check their heart health. Cardiologists suggest that patients with atherosclerosis and heart disease have regular periodontal exams.
[For more information, see In-Depth Report #03: Coronary artery disease.]
Diabetes is not only a risk factor for periodontal disease. Periodontal disease itself can worsen diabetes and make it more difficult to control blood sugar.
Bacteria that reproduce in the mouth can also be carried into the airways in the throat and lungs, increasing the risks for respiratory diseases and worsening chronic lung conditions, such as emphysema.
Bacterial infections that cause moderate-to-severe periodontal disease in pregnant women can increase the risk for premature delivery and low birth weight infants. The more severe the infection, the greater the risk to the baby. Research indicates that bacteria from gum disease and tooth decay may trigger the same factors in the immune system that cause premature dilation and contractions.
Women should have a periodontal examination before becoming pregnant or as soon as possible thereafter. Because women with diabetes are at higher risk for periodontal disease, it is especially important that they see a dentist early in pregnancy. Doctors are still not sure if treating periodontal disease can improve birth outcomes. In any case, periodontal treatment is safe for pregnant women.
Symptoms or periodontal disease typically progress over time and include:
Pain is usually not a symptom, which partly explains why the disease may become advanced before treatment is sought and why some patients avoid treatment even after periodontitis is diagnosed.
The dental practitioner typically performs a number of procedures during a routine dental exam to check for periodontal disease. If periodontal disease is suspected, your dentist may refer you to see a periodontist. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease.
The dentist will first take a medical history to reveal any past or present periodontal problems, any underlying diseases that might be contributing to the problem, and any medications the patient is taking. The dentist will also ask questions about the patient's daily oral hygiene regimen (brushing, flossing).
Inspection of the Gum Area. The dentist inspects the color and shape of gingival tissue on the cheek (buccal) side and the tongue (lingual) side of every tooth. Redness, puffiness, and bleeding upon probing indicate inflammation and possible periodontal disease.
Periodontal Screening and Recording (PSR). PSR is a painless procedure used to measure and determine the severity of periodontal disease:
These measurements help determine the condition of the connective tissue and amount of gingival overgrowth or recession.
Testing Tooth Movement. Tooth mobility is determined by pushing each tooth between two instrument handles and observing any movement. Mobility is a strong indicator of bone support loss.
X-rays. X-rays are taken to show any loss of bone structure supporting the teeth.
According to the American Academy of Periodontology, treatment for periodontal disease should focus on achieving oral health in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner. Your dentist or periodontist will usually begin with a non-surgical approach (scaling and root planning), then reevaluate your condition in follow-up visits. If infection or deep periodontal pockets remain, surgical treatment may be recommended.
Periodontal treatment approaches can basically be categorized as:
In addition to treatment in a dentist office, regular dental visits and cleanings (usually every 3 months) are important for maintenance as is practicing good oral hygiene at home (see Prevention section of this report).
Scaling and Root Planing. Scaling and root planning is a deep cleaning to remove bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar). It is the cornerstone of periodontal disease treatment and the first procedure a dentist will use. Scaling involves scraping tartar from above and below the gum line. Root planning smoothes the root surfaces of the teeth.
The dentist may apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area before beginning the procedure. Both ultrasonic and manual instruments are used to remove calculus. The ultrasonic device vibrates at a high frequency and helps loosen and remove tartar. A high-pressure water spray is then used to flush out the debris. The dentist will use manual instruments called scrapers and curettes to scrape away any remaining plaque or calculus and smooth and clean the tooth crown and root surfaces. Finally, the dentist will polish the tooth using abrasive paste applied to a vibrating instrument with a rubber cap. Polishing produces a smooth surface, making it temporarily harder for plaque to adhere.
Antibiotics. At the time of scaling and root planning, your dentist may recommend the use of antibiotic medications. Because of the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant infections, antibiotics are recommended only when necessary (for example, in cases of severe active infection). Antibiotics for periodontal disease come in various forms. They may be taken as a prescription mouthwash rinse, or placed topically as dissolving gels, threads, or microchips into the periodontal pockets. In some cases, the dentist may prescribe a short course of systemic antibiotics in a low-dose of doxycycline taken in pill form.
Flap Surgery (Periodontal Pocket Reduction). Surgery allows access for deep cleaning of the root surface, removal of diseased tissue, and repositioning and shaping of the bones, gum, and tissues supporting the teeth. The basic procedure is known as flap surgery. It is performed under local anesthesia and involves:
For several days following surgery, patients should rinse their mouths with warm salt water to help reduce swelling. Gauze pads should be changed. Post-surgical discomfort is usually treated with over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or the application of ice packs.
Gum Graft. In cases of excessive gingival recession, the periodontist may perform a gum (gingival) graft to cover the area of exposed root. There are various ways to perform the tissue graft. With a free gingival graft, a thin layer of tissue is removed from the palate of the mouth and sutured onto the exposed root surface. However, many patients find the healing of the donor site on the roof of the mouth to be more painful than the actual surgical procedure. An alternative method, called a subepithelial connective tissue graft, removes tissue from inside the palate (as opposed to the outside, as with the free gingival graft). Recovery is less painful with this method.
An alternative to using tissue from the patient is to use a graft derived from donor (cadaver) tissue. A synthetic graft has also been developed, but it is not yet clear if results are as successful as with the other graft methods.
Bone Graft. In some cases of severe bone loss, the surgeon may attempt to encourage regrowth and restoration of bone tissue that has been lost through the disease process. This involves bone grafting:
Guided tissue regeneration is a more advanced technique that may be used along with bone grafting:
Crown Lengthening. Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure performed to expose more of the tooth. It involves readjusting the gum and bone levels by removing small sections of bone and resewing the gums into a new position to allow more tooth exposure.
Dental Implants. For patients who have lost teeth to periodontal disease, dental implants are an option, although an expensive one. Dental implants are an artificial type of tooth root used to create permanent prosthetic teeth. Implants are screws placed into the jawbone. Prosthetic teeth are attached to the implant.
In addition to regular visits to a dentist, the best prevention for periodontal disease takes place at home. Healthy habits and good oral hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing, are critical in preventing gum disease and maintaining good oral health after periodontal treatment.
Correct tooth brushing is the first defense against periodontal disease. Here are some tips for making sure you brush correctly:
If brushing after each meal is not possible, rinsing the mouth with water after eating can reduce bacteria by 30%.
Toothbrushes. A vast assortment of brushes of varying sizes and shapes are available, and each manufacturer makes its claim for the benefits of a particular brush. Look for the American Dental Association (ADA) seal on both electric and regular brushes.
Electric toothbrushes, particularly those with a stationary grip and revolving tufts of bristles, can be helpful, especially for people with physical disabilities. However, in general, studies have reported no major differences between electric and manual toothbrushes in their ability to remove plaque. If a regular toothbrush works, it isn't necessary to buy an expensive electric one.
The most important factor in buying any toothbrush, electric or manual, is to choose one with a soft head. Soft bristles get into crevices easier and do not irritate the gums, thereby reducing the risk of exposing teeth below the gum line compared to hard brushes.
Be sure to rinse your toothbrush with water after each use. Toothbrushes should be replaced every 1 - 3 months. Worn bristles are less effective at removing plaque, and old toothbrushes may become breeding grounds for bacteria. To prevent the spread of infection, never share toothbrushes.
The use of dental floss, either waxed or unwaxed, is critical in cleaning between the teeth where the toothbrush bristles cannot reach. To floss correctly:
Here are some tips in choosing the right floss or flossing device:
Toothpaste. Toothpastes are a combination of abrasives, binders, colors, detergents, flavors, fluoride, humectants, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners. Avoid highly abrasive toothpastes, especially if your gums have receded. The objective of a good toothpaste is to reduce the development of plaque and eliminate periodontal-causing bacteria without destroying the organisms that are important for a healthy mouth.
Ingredients contained in toothpastes may include:
Mouthwash. The American Dental Association recommends (in addition to daily brushing and flossing) antimicrobial mouthwash to help prevent and reduce plaque and gingivitis, and fluoride mouthwashes to help provide additional protection against tooth decay.
Diet. A well-balanced and nutritious diet is important for good oral health. Limit between-meal snacks and be sure to brush and floss after every meal. It is also important to drink lots of water to help increase saliva and flush away plaque.
Quitting Smoking. Smoking is a main risk factor for periodontal disease. For smokers, quitting is one of the most important steps toward regaining periodontal health.

For the longest time, WWE refused to acknowledged the competition. Management lived in a world where no other promotion mattered. That was until WCW stole headlines thanks to the arrival of Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and the nWo. Vince McMahon then felt compelled to address the company that tried to put him out of business. Since World Wrestling Entertainment rarely ever talked about other companies, it becomes a big deal when they do.
Recently, McMahon had his team conduct a poll, asking wrestling fans which other promotions that they would like to see featured on the WWE Network. Among the names on there is none other than Impact Wrestling, which means that management is at least considering the possibility of airing TNA content on their own streaming service.Categories: Tidbits

Riverdale, the Bronx, N.Y. Real Estate
Librado Romero/The New York Times
At a Glance
Telling a Manhattanite you live in Riverdale might conjure an image of a sought-after Bronx neighborhood; telling a Riverdalian you live in Riverdale only forces the question of where, exactly — Riverdale is practically a borough. Some of its gridded, sidewalked sections resemble suburban New York; some sections toward the Hudson River resemble rural Connecticut — fine homes, tall trees, rock walls. The more upscale subsections are set on hillsides — some residents distinguish between "upstairs" and "downstairs" Riverdale. On weekends, synagogues stay busy and cricket players speckle Van Cortlandt Park. Mondays, private day schools in Fieldston resume their hum. The subway ride to Midtown takes about 45 minutes. In Riverdale, the quiet is quieter, the green seems greener and the housing costs are a little lower.

Unlike traditional sunglasses that darken your vision, these bifocals use optics technology developed by NASA to make objects appear more vivid while blocking 100% of UV rays and shading eyes from sunlight. Based on the glasses designed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to protect astronauts' eyes from solar radiation, the polarized lenses filter blue and violet light rays that can impair vision, yet allow sight-enhancing green, yellow, orange, and red light rays to reach your retina. As a result, objects appear more distinct and distortion is greatly diminished. The stainless nickel-silver frames have a gunmetal finish, adjustable, non-slip nose pads, and spring hinges. The lenses meet CE, EN1836 regulations, and ANSI standards for scratch and impact resistance. Available in 2.0, and 2.5 diopters. Includes hard case, soft pouch, and cleaning/maintenance kit. Not available for shipment in New York. 1 1/2" H x 5 1/2" W x 6" L. (6 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Clarity Enhancing Bifocal Sunglasses come with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Very good glasses
By Blitzmesser
from Santa Monica, CA
I use them for reading outdoors and for driving and walking in a bright sun. They are very well made and light weight.They do not work for my Mac screen. The screen is not visible through the lenses. (I thought I would mention this, as the glasses are recommend for computer use.)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Clarity enhancing bifocal sunglasses
By ToolmanCorpus
from Corpus Christi, Texas
I work in outside sales, driving 6000 miles per month. Not having to switch between reading and sunglasses increases my productivity when I have to pull over to read maps, research products or fill out sales orders. These glasses do increase clarity and do not cause any undue strain. They come packaged with a hard case, soft case and cleaning kit. Well worth the price.

Responding on health care
I can not resist responding to the "Reform health care now" letter of the Nov. 26. The dear lady is absolutely on track. Our European brothers and especially the French should set the stage for our reform! I wonder while we are at it why not revamp our entire Government and pattern it upon a European model.
Health care reform certainly has a ring to it.

Aaron Schock on Energy & Oil
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Young, R-AK]: The Americans suffering from $4 a gallon gas today must feel like they're experiencing a sense of deja vu. In 2008, when gasoline prices reached a record high of $4.11 per gallon, the public outcry forced Congress to act. That fall, Congress lifted the offshore drilling ban that had been in place for decades. Three years later, most Americans would likely be shocked to learn that no energy development has happened in these new areas.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Markey, D-MA]. In the first 3 months of this year, Exxon-Mobil made $10 billion off of the American consumer; Shell made $8 billion; BP made $7 billion. So what are these companies asking for? These companies are now asking that we open up the beaches of California, Florida & New England to drill for oil. People who live near those beaches don't want oil coming in the way it did in the Gulf of Mexico. Right now, those oil companies are centered down in the Gulf of Mexico. People are concerned because those companies have blocked any new safety reforms that would protect against another catastrophic spill. We have to oppose this bill because, first of all, they already have 60 million acres of American land that they haven't drilled on yet, which has about 11 billion barrels of oil underneath it and an equivalent amount of natural gas. This bill is just a giveaway to Exxon-Mobil and Shell.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill is a direct assault on the Clean Air Act. Its premise is that climate change is a hoax and carbon pollution does not endanger health and welfare. But climate change is real. It is caused by pollution, and it is a serious threat to our health and welfare. We need to confront these realities. American families count on the EPA to keep our air and water clean. But this bill has politicians overruling the experts at EPA, and it exempts our biggest polluters from regulation. If this bill is enacted, the EPA's ability to control dangerous carbon pollution will be gutted.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. ED MARKEY (D, MA-7): For the first time in the history of our country, we will put enforceable limits on global warming pollution. At its core, however, this is a jobs bill. It will create millions of new, clean-energy jobs in whole new industries with incentives to drive competition in the energy marketplace. It sets ambitious and achievable standards for energy efficiency and renewable energy from solar, wind, geothermal, biomass so that by 2020, 20% of America's energy will be clean.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BOB GOODLATTE (R, VA-6): I agree that this bill has very important consequences, but those consequences are devastating for the future of the economy of this country. It's a fantasy that this legislation will turn down the thermostat of the world by reducing CO2 gas emissions when China & India & other nations are pumping more CO2 gas into the atmosphere all the time. We would be far better served with legislation that devotes itself to developing new technologies before we slam the door on our traditional sources of energy like coal and oil and and nuclear power. We support the effort for energy efficiency. We do not support this kind of suicide for the American economy. Unfortunately, cap and trade legislation would only further cripple our economy.
No Climate Tax Pledge: "I pledge to the taxpayers of my state, and to the American people, that I will oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue."
Sponsoring organizations: Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEU); National Taxpayers Union (NTU); Institute for Liberty Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is a nationwide organization of citizen-leaders committed to advancing every individual's right to economic freedom and opportunity. AFP believes reducing the size and intrusiveness of government is the best way to promote individual productivity and prosperity for all Americans.
Congressional Summary of H.R.97:
Congressional Summary of H.R.153, "Ensuring Affordable Energy Act":
OnTheIssues Explanation:These two related bills exclude the EPA from taking on global warming by defining greenhouse gases as a "pollutant." These bills do not directly oppose regulating greenhouse gases nor cap-and-trade; either could still be accomplished by an act of Congress. Instead, they REQUIRE an act of Congress, rather than letting the President and the EPA bypass Congress by regulatory implementation instead of legislative implementation.

Mercuric oxide poisoning
Mercuric oxide is a form of mercury. It is a type of mercury salt. There are different types of mercury poisonings. This article discusses poisoning from swallowing mercuric oxide.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
Mercuric oxide
Where Found
Mercuric oxide may be found in some:
- Button batteries (batteries containing mercury are no longer sold in the United States)
- Disinfectants
- Fungicides
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
- Abdominal pain (severe)
- Bloody diarrhea
- Decreased urine output (may stop completely)
- Drooling
- Extreme difficulty breathing
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Mouth sores
- Throat swelling (swelling may cause throat to close)
- Shock
- Vomiting
Home Care
Seek immediate medical help. DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition (for example, is the person awake or alert?)
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
Poison Control
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Activated charcoal
- Laxative
- Medicines called chelators that remove mercury from the bloodstream
- Endoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (gastric lavage)
Any person who swallowed a battery will need immediate x-rays to make sure the battery is not stuck in the esophagus. Most swallowed batteries that pass through the esophagus will pass out of the body in the stool without complication. However, batteries stuck in the esophagus can cause a hole in the esophagus very quickly. It is very important to seek immediate medical help after a battery is swallowed.
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery. Mercuric oxide poisoning can lead to organ failure and death.

When an interpreter translates a sentence, he doesn't reiterate it word for word. Instead, he communicates the speaker's fundamental meaning, adjusting structures and expressions from one tongue to another. Stephen Muse, FAIA, performed a similar adaptation for this Washington, D.C., house, which conveys the spirit of Japanese architecture without actually reproducing elements from it. "We didn't want to do a bridge crossing over a koi pond," says Muse. "We were looking more for the essence of Japanese architecture."
The impetus for this nonliteral interpretation came from the owners, who had spent many years living in Japan. They shared their collection of Japanese architecture books with Muse and project architect Kuk-Ja Kim, AIA, pointing out photos that appealed to them. "We had to figure out what it was about these Japanese rooms they liked," says Muse. "It turned out to be the strong feeling of geometry, the connection from room to room, and also the connection from interior to exterior." So he and Kim created a simple floor plan whose room sizes and openings line up more precisely than in a typical American house. Their emphasis on geometry also extended to the interior detailing, rendered in flat surfaces of maple and painted wood to reference the exposed framework and paneling of the Japanese tradition.
The woodwork's clean lines signify a modern aesthetic that, according to Muse, came about by happenstance. "Solving the problems of the site and expressing what the owners want in a house led us into something very light and more contemporary in feel," he says.
The house sits atop a steep, wooded hill—too steep in front for anyone to climb regularly. So the main entrance lies around back, where the driveway leads from a public alley up to a stand-alone garage. The architects created an entry sequence that starts in the garage, leads out to a window-lined gallery flanked by landscaped terraces, and ends in the skylit stair hall of the main house. Along with an ample number of windows, French doors, and outdoor rooms, the entry procession strengthens the home's tie to the landscape—a goal consistent with modern as well as Japanese architecture.
But the design also has its traditional points, like its Shingle Style exterior vocabulary. Muse chose the Shingle Style because of its distant roots in Japan and its relationship to structures in nearby Rock Creek Park. And it works well with the site: Cedar cladding and roofing echo the wooded surroundings, while sharply pitched gables keep the home's scale from overwhelming the hilltop. In addition, old-fashioned true divided-light windows echo the panes of the sliding shoji screens that separate the main public rooms. Copper Craftsman-style light fixtures mediate between the Shingle Style and Japanese motifs.
Taken as a whole, the house radiates the simplicity of Japanese design while fitting into its American neighborhood. Like master translators, Muse and his team found a way to express the design themes of one culture through the language of another.

By Meg Yardley The Celtic festival of Imbolc, also sometimes called Brigid after the goddess who is celebrated at this time, is a wonderful festival to celebrate with children, as it focuses on the hearth and home. Depending on where you live, Imbolc may or may not seem like the "beginning of spring" as it is often described. Historically, this is a time of year when people have often been desperately in need of hope, as food stores dwindle and the earth is not yet producing new plants and cro … [Read more...]

I always feel like such a sucker when I watch recap shows. Yes, I remember what I've been watching. And I'm no dummy: I know your "never-before seen footage" isn't going to be anything special, because if it was, you producers would have put it in the regular episodes that you just rebriefed me on. And your snappy editing and cheesy graphics cannot convince me otherwise.
Beauty and the Geek's clip show was no better than any others and maybe even a little more frustrating because it shed absolutely no additional light on the series' biggest question mark, Sam and Nicole. Other than one little clip that showed Nicole (possibly drunkenly) yukking it up with some fellow geeks in the confessional, we learned nothing more about them as individuals or as a team or why they even chose to participate in the competition.
Otherwise, some people had crushes on other people, Shay is like the amazingly hot black mother Joshua never had and William seems like a dick.
I also might be reading too much into this or maybe I'm just jealous (I'm saying it before any of you can) but I thought it was strange that the show dedicated a few precious minutes to ogling the beauties' bodies. I thought this show was about them becoming more than just beauties? But whatever, I understand, everyone likes boobies.
Grade: D
Stray observations:
--Dave is really starting to grow on me. I think he and Joshua are my favorite geeks.
--I still think Jesse's blonde hair looked ridiculous.
--Is it possible that Luke was actually too cute and vain to truly be a geek? Discuss.

I'd vote for the Alfa AWUS036H
Well, as the title says, I'm looking to buy a wireless card for my laptop and I was wondering which is the most ideal one?
I'm trying to programming my own sniffer and I'm kind of confused with which one to buy. I read that Atheros based chipsets are the best bet.
But, are there any specific versions that would be preferable? and which vendor?
.... any help will be grateful, thanks...
I'd vote for the Alfa AWUS036H
Don't discount Windows, I would be a poor man without it ;)
I received my N300 today, exellent card. injection no problem. I never attached anything to the 3rd antenna port on the card, I dont know how much difference it would make.
Well I'm no expert but Its probably best you stick a small one on. Back in my radio days the rf out would always need some sort of load to avoid damaging the equipment. You can get one cheap from oxfordtec.

Statement by Ambassador Wunderlich on Arms Control and Disarmament in the General Assembly
Mr. Chairman,
Please allow me to express our congratulations to you, Ambassador Miloš Koterec, on the assumption of the chair of the First Committee. I should also like to extend our congratulations to all members of the Bureau.
We would like to associate ourselves with the statement of the European Union.
Disarmament and non-proliferation are among the most pressing challenges of our time. We have to do all we possibly can to ensure that weapons of mass destruction do not become the curse of our age. It is our aim, on the one hand, to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons and, on the other hand, to reduce and finally eliminate the existing stockpiles of these weapons. These are two sides of the same coin.
This year, we have seen progress again in our efforts to promote disarmament and strengthen the global non-proliferation regime, with New START and the successful conclusion of the Review Conference of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). All participants of the Review Conference confirmed the non-proliferation obligations of the Treaty and expressly committed themselves to the goal of completely eliminating all nuclear weapons. "Global zero" has been endorsed as the common objective of NPT member states. A world without nuclear weapons is certainly a long-term vision, but even a marathon begins with first steps.
These developments are a good start for the new decade, which we want to make a decade of disarmament. But there is a lesson to be learnt from the short-lived success of the 2000 NPT Review Conference: We must not relent in our efforts and we will only be successful if we work together to maintain this momentum.
On September 22, the Foreign Ministers and Representatives of ten countries from different regions of the world, among them German Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor Guido Westerwelle, met in New York at the initiative of Australia and Japan. At this meeting, they stated the intention to work together to promote swift and thorough implementation of the Action Plan adopted by the NPT Review Conference in May 2010, advance the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation agendas and encourage progress towards a nuclear weapon free world. Copies of the joint statement adopted at this gathering have been made available in the room.
Germany has joined this initiative in line with its strong commitment to arms control and disarmament. We are determined to play an active part in further developing this initiative. To this end, Foreign Minister Westerwelle invited his colleagues to a follow-up meeting in Berlin. We consider arms control and disarmament to be integral parts of the global security architecture. We are convinced that substantial progress in this field will be greatly enhanced by bridging differences and by jointly working towards complete implementation of the objectives of the NPT. We are confident that this new initiative will enjoy broad support.
We consider two elements of the Action Plan adopted by NPT State Parties here in New York as particularly important. The nuclear weapon states committed themselves to reduce and eliminate all types of nuclear weapons. For the first time we have a comprehensive approach which includes tactical nuclear weapons in any future disarmament process. And beyond the need for further quantitative reductions: The commitment to reduce the role and significance of nuclear weapons recognizes the need to adapt security strategies and military doctrines and bring them in line with the objective of a nuclear weapon free world.
As a consequence, the statement adopted by our Ministers at the September 22 meeting expresses the intention "to focus on efforts to further reduce the number of nuclear weapons, including tactical nuclear weapons, and to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in security strategies, concepts, doctrines and policies". We have to address disarmament both from a quantitative and a qualitative angle. Our Ministers expressed their hope "to contribute to a growing consensus that any perceived security or political advantages of nuclear weapons are outweighed by the grave threat they pose to humanity". This is the consensus we need to foster as the foundation for a sustainable global non-proliferation regime and as motivation for running the marathon towards "global zero".
I thank you for your attention.

Treasure Island gunman kills self, police say
Updated 3:52 pm, Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Access to Treasure Island was blocked for more than five hours Tuesday morning while police negotiated with a suicidal man who had shot at officers in downtown San Francisco, police said.
The man, identified as Duncan Phillips, 29, shot himself just before 5 a.m., said Sgt. Michael Andraychak, a police spokesman. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
Phillips had no confirmed address, according to investigators. He was wanted in connection with a Nov. 22 armed robbery in Benicia where police said Phillips struck a 52-year-old woman in the head with his pistol before grabbing her purse and feeling the scene.
Latest news videos
San Francisco police negotiators spoke with Phillips for most of Tuesday morning.
According to police, Phillips was spotted with a gun in a stolen white sedan on the 800 block of Bush Street. Andraychak said officers pursued the car as the man ran red lights and headed toward the Bay Bridge.
Phillips fired at least one shot from the car before stopping near the entrance to Treasure Island and running on foot to the island's western shore.
Residents were unable to enter or leave the island until a little before 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The long-running debate about violence in videogames was revived over the weekend with reports that an eight-year-old boy who police say shot and killed his elderly caregiver had been playing Grand Theft Auto IV, a game rated as appropriate for adults.
The Louisiana boy intentionally shot and killed his elderly caregiver after playing a violent videogame, authorities said. Marie Smothers, who was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head in a mobile home park in Slaughter, LA, was 87. The gun belonged to the caregiver.
The East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Department implied the child's activities in a violent virtual world might have led to the killing. "Although a motive for the shooting is unknown at this time investigators have learned that the juvenile suspect was playing a videogame on the Play Station III 'Grand Theft Auto IV,' a realistic game that has been associated with encouraging violence and awards points to players for killing people, just minutes before the homicide occurred." | SEE STORY ON CNN
In June 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down California's ban on sales and rentals of so-called "violent" videogames to minors, which was regarded as a nationwide victory for the entertainment industry. | SEE STORY
CNN has updated its list of the 10 most controversial violent videogames.

Hi guys,
As I noted in my search for some advanced commentaries/texts I am trying to broaden my practice.
Is anyone familar with literary works that deal with Kayagatasati (mindfulness of the body); Maranassati (mindfulness of death) and the other sutta mentioned mindfulnesses <---- haha that is probably not a word .
I am hoping for detailed texts like one finds in the Satipatthana and Anapanasati contexts.
Thanks guys!
(((No mentioning access to insight, I am looking for commentary or detailed works))).
Advanced works are all the better (Advanced in the sense of dealing with the subject in it's "fullness" and "breadth")).

Amanda Loebker signs letter of intent with SMWC
January 11th, 2012 | SMWC
Amanda Loebker, one of the most sought after soccer athletes in the Wabash Valley, signed a National Letter of Intent with Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at Terre Haute North Vigo High School.
Loebke, a three-year varsity starter and team captain for two years with a long list of honors and accomplishments, has twice been named to the All-Conference team in the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference. Those choices were topped in her senior year by her selection as a Second Team All-State Player and an Indiana Soccer Coaches' Association Top Team Player. Her speed, technical ability, and composure in front of the goal make her a prime college prospect. She netted 16 goals in her senior season, including the regular-season game winner against Terre Haute South, and will make an immediate impact in the Pomeroy attack.
Loebker also brings the kind of work ethic and citizenship that are valued so highly at the Woods. She has served as an assistant youth coach, has volunteered at Ryves Hall, and has been a three-year member of the Astra Club. She has maintained a 3.0 grade point average and currently intends to study Education at the Woods. Well-known as one of most intense, committed players in the area, she follows other great talents from Terre Haute North like Lauren Sullivan and Erin Pugh who were central to building a Pomeroy team that could make runs at the USCAA national championship.
Coach Mike Aycock sees Loebker as a key ingredient for a new Pomeroy side. "Amanda is a special player in the attacking part of the field," he said. "She has speed, creativity, and the composure to finish well and be dangerous as a target player. I have no doubt that her abilities will change some of the things we can do going forward."

Ya know it doesn't matter what goes into these chips. As long as Apple put a new label on that piece of silicon fanboys won't freak out.
Btw, showing a 3D image (ie new iOS maps) does not create more pixels... Not sure what you mean by that.
Also Apple has a good record of always releasing a stronger chip every time a new label is put on it. Whether it has more cores or just more power... they only change the label if it is truthfully different. So I don't see why you said that.
Possible, however, I don't think Apple will jump on quad core until IOS 7. It's just not like them to take a leap into boundaries that are still unscathed.
e.g 4G network
I was also referring the unwarranted anger when Apple released the "A5X" and not the "A6". People got mad over a label without knowing or understanding what the new chip could even do. Apple could put an 8-core chip in the next iPhone but if they dont call it A6 people will be unnecessarily pissy
"because Apple is notorious for upgrading the chips starting with the iPhone before upgrading the hardware in the iPod touch and iPad"
If memory serves me right A4 was in the iPad before iPhone 4 and the A5 was in the iPad 2 before the iPhone 4S.
I wouldn't say apple would be pissed with 4G eating the battery, they just need to keep up with the technology with the massive demand for Internet speed, with the quad-core, I don't see that coming until iPhone 6, hopefully by that time some company will discovery a thin power cell that will last all day without a charge, Im praying on that.
I just want to say I told a kid it was going to be an a6 or a5x and he doubted me for no reason..
I guarantee a quad core why? The a5x is quad core why not implement technology already created by then into their own technology (worded like that because someone will think this would give an excuse too Samsung for copying their tech IT'S NOT!)
Also whoever thinks apple doesn't make great chips seriously get to know your info apple is top of the charts in their release for their chips power! Sure someone surpasses it because apple updates it once a year! However apple still make great products. PLEASE I BEG OF YOU GUYS! Get to know your info!!!
The word should have been unsettled. But the people in the topic knew what I was talking about.

The Navy's guided-missile destroyer Preble will leave San Diego Bay on Friday for service in the western Pacific. Its departure comes on the same day that a sister ship, the destroyer Decatur, is scheduled to return from deployment to the same region.
The timing of the Preble's deployment was uncertain until recent days because of sequestration -- mandatory cuts made in the federal budget that affect most agencies, including the Defense Department. The 509-foot ship was commissioned in 2002 and served deployments related to the Afghanistan War.
More recently, the Preble has performed test launches of newer generation Tomahawk cruise missiles off of San Nicholas Island. The exercise was part of a larger effort to improve naval weapons systems.
The Decatur spent part of its deployment in the Persian Gulf, helping to keep sea lanes open in a region that has one of the world's largest supplies of oil.
During an earlier deployment, the ship operated in support of U.S. forces in the Afghanistan War. And early this month, the Decatur was stationed near the Korean peninsula, where it helped to provide ballistic missile defense against North Korea.

Linkin Park shares new album details & release date
Listen to Linkin Park on iHeartRadio
Linkin Park fans can mark their calendars. The band is finally sharing a few details about the follow-up to 2012's Living Things. It's due out June 17th with the title The Hunting Party.
Co-frontman Mike Shinoda tells Noisey that picking album names is difficult for them, but this one came easier than most. He adds, however, that there was still plenty of second-guessing and arguing over it.
As for the music on The Hunting Party, Shinoda says they want to make sure everyone knows it's going to be a "bit of a challenge" and a "hard sell" for rock radio. The album's first single, "Guilty All the Same" with rapper Rakim, is out now.

Tours - Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate
Hours: Wednesdays-Sundays; Times dependent on tour selected
Ages: All
Price: $23-40 dependent on tour length selected
Philipsburg Manor, 381 N. Broadway (Route 9) - 914-631-8200
Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591
Description: Kykuit, the six-story stone house and rolling hilltop estate that served as home to four generations of Rockefellers, is open to visitors beginning Saturday, May 4, through Sunday, Sep. 30, and Nov. 1-11. Open daily Oct 1-31. Kykuit's modern and classical art collection, architecture, and expansive gardens are consistently rated the top attraction in the lower Hudson Valley, and draw tens of thousands of visitors annually. Kykuit, which means "lookout" in Dutch, includes a six-story stone house, multiple terraced gardens, art galleries, outdoor classical and modern sculpture, and commanding Hudson River views. Its hilltop location overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades is 500 feet above sea level. Visitors to Kykuit learn the story of the Rockefellers, beginning with John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, whose business acumen made him the richest man in America in his day. He later became the country's first great philanthropist. By his death in 1937, he had given away more than half his fortune through various philanthropic programs. Visitors can choose from four tours: Classic, Grand, Timesaver, and Selected Highlights. The Classic, ideal for first-time visitors, is a shorter experience than the comprehensive, three-hour Grand. Besides the mansion, both of these tours include time in Kykuit's art galleries, gardens, and Coach Barn, with its collection of horse-drawn carriages, vintage automobiles, and equestrian equipment. The 90-minute Timesaver is ideal for those on tighter schedules, while Selected Highlights maximizes time in the gardens. Visitors can buy tickets online in advance, choosing the exact tour, time, and date they want to visit. Tickets are on sale at hudsonvalley.org. Historic Hudson Valley recommends advanced ticket buying, particularly for weekend tours, which fill up quickly. Besides online, tickets may be purchased by calling 914-631-8200 (service charge additional) or at the Kykuit Visitor Center at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow. All tours start at the Kykuit Visitor Center; doors open at 9am.

Irene's Impacts Hit Home
During the last weekend of August, the Eastern U.S. braced for a walloping. Hurricane Irene spiraled up the Atlantic coast, ripping trees out of the ground in North Carolina and drenching much of the rest of the coast. When I heard that Irene was making her way up toward my hometown of Ridgewood, NJ, I had flashbacks to Hurricane Floyd, a devastating storm in 1999 that brought us much destruction and devastation.
Ridgewood, NJ (Source: ridgewood.patch.com user Chris Peters)
When the clouds scattered and the rain stopped, my hometown (and many other towns in Northern New Jersey) was left to clean up the mess in Irene's wake. The main body of water in Ridgewood, the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook (a tributary to the Saddle and Passaic rivers), spilled over its channel and flooded much of the town's center.
Ridgewood Village Hall (Source: ridgewood.patch.com)
Ridgewood Village Hall (pictured above) was completely inundated by floodwaters. After Floyd devastated the building in 1999, the town refurbished and renovated the town hall, but much of that work was undone by Irene. Offices on the lower level of the building are out of service until the end of the year and have been forced to relocate. Local media report that the town could have to pay up to $200,000 in repairs to the town hall alone. Fortunately, the nearby town library was spared from this disaster.
Across town, at Ridgewood High School, the new football field (pictured below) was severely damaged by flood waters. The artificial turf field bowed and buckled beneath the swirling flood waters and could cost up to $21,000 to repair.

Down the road, the struggling city of Paterson, NJ, is still reeling from Irene's wake. Already devastated by economic hard times, Paterson is dealing with damaging floodwaters. President Obama visited the city over Labor Day weekend to survey the damage and offered federal assistance.

With clean-up costs expected to top $600,000 for the Village of Ridgewood alone, in addition to damages to private properties, impacts are clearly going to have a profound effect on the budgets of small towns across Irene's path. Town officials are hoping FEMA will assist with the clean-up costs, although the agency is facing budget shortfalls due to back-to-back natural disasters.
It is no surprise that Irene made it onto the list of the top 10 costliest U.S. hurricanes. The reality is local and state governments need to begin planning for more extreme weather events like Hurricane Irene in the future.
