Asked for male, 22 years old from Delhi
I have receding gums, swollen gums and every morning when I wake up, my mouth is filled with saliva and blood. Whats the solution to piorreah?
Consult your dentist for Oral Prophylaxis and then maintain your oral hygiene by brushing twice daily (ask the correct technique from your doctor) and use of chlorhexidine based non alcoholic mouthwash with proper dilution or as recommended by your doctor. Treatment of receding gums will be based on the extent of recession.

It begins when bacteria inflicts damage on the hard surface of the tooth and destruction will spread in the deeper layer if left unchecked.It happens when sugars aren't cleaned off your teeth, bacteria feeds on them and produces acid. Acids wear away the first layer of tooth (enamel) and spreads in more deeper layer eventually causing decay and cavity.

Washington State (2-0) at San Diego State (2-0)
Whoa, daddy. We knew Washington State had a solid shot to beat UNLV last week.
But 59-7? Who saw that coming?
Through two weeks, the Cougars have looked as impressive as any Northwest team in the Pac-12, averaging 61.5 points and 601 offensive yards. How will they fare with the stakes raised for their first road game of the season this week?
Washington State Cougars (2-0) @ San Diego State Aztecs (2-0)
Saturday, September 17, 6:30 p.m. ET
Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, CA
Favorite: San Diego State -5.5
For the second straight week, quarterback Jeff Tuel's absence had little impact on WSU's offense. With Tuel out nursing a broken collarbone, Marshall Lobbestael stepped in and dazzled once again.
Lobbestael was 24 of 32 for 361 passing yards and five touchdowns. He helped the Cougars storm to a 35-0 halftime lead. Lobbestael hit top wideout Marques Wilson five times for 102 yards and a score but three other WSU players caught at least four passes.
Rookie running back Rick Galvin stole the show with a 48-yard touchdown run less than three minutes into the game.
The 600-plus-yard effort was impressive but Washington State's defense was just as good, holding UNLV to 158 total yards, including just 60 through the air.
Can the Cougars keep the outstanding effort going on the road against San Diego State? The challenge is certainly greater. The Aztecs see themselves as darkhorse contenders in the Mountain West.
But Washington State just might be an awkward matchup for San Diego State. The Aztecs didn't get a real test in Week 1 against Cal Poly.
Last week, Army attempted four passes. It's not that the Black Knights ran for 400-plus yards that should have San Diego State worried; it's that the team's pass defense is so largely untested.
Week 3 could be make or break for Washington State's expectations of Lobbestael. If he handles San Diego State on the road like he did UNLV at home, the Pac-12 should be put on notice that there's a new gunslinger in town. If not, the Cougars will go back to the drawing board.
Either way, they have to be thrilled with 2011 so far, as they've already equalled last season's win total.

UPDATE: The man in the photo contacted us to say he's NOT actually homeless. No word on if he really slept with Lindsay.
Usually Lindsay Lohan is the one begging for attention -- but a homeless man in Huntington Beach, CA turned the tables on the troubled star yesterday ... all in an effort to make a well-deserved buck.
The man -- who's low on cash-flow but has a rich sense of humor -- was spotted yesterday near the 405 Freeway in Huntington Beach, CA ... holding up a sign that said, "Slept with Lindsay Lohan Need Help."
Lohan's people had no comment.

Londonderry Planning Board conditionally approves Woodmont Commons
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
LONDONDERRY -- Following a lengthy public hearing Wednesday night, a new chapter began for the town of Londonderry, when the board granted conditional approval to the controversial Woodmont Commons project.
After approving a number of requested waivers, including an exemption of permit requirements for project- related "excavations and renovations" and exemption from "landscape and design standards," the board voted unanimously to move the master plan for the $1 billion, 625-acre town village project forward.

PEMBROKE, NC- Coker battled back from four-runs down in the eighth inning to tie the score but gave up two runs in the bottom of the inning to fall 9-7 at UNC Pembroke in its baseball season opener.
Coker (0-1) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Justin Sims/Westville, NJ doubled to score Ben Kershner/Wellington, CO and Nick Fletcher/Littleton, CO. Pembroke (1-0) got one run back in the bottom of the inning and tied the score at 2-2 in the third on a single by Robbie Redic with a runner on third.
After falling behind 4-2 in the fourth the Cobras plated one in the fifth on a Kershner single, but UNCP added two more in the bottom half to grab a 6-3 advantage. Coker retired the first two batters in the seventh inning but a single and a double by the next two batters made it 7-3 with only six outs left for the Cobras. CC wasn't done yet, however, and stepped up with a big eighth inning.
Sophomore T.J. Dawson's/Conway, SC two-RBI single with two outs made it 7-5 and classmate Brian Nally/Highland Heights, OH pushed Dawson across with a RBI single of his own. A single by senior Conrad Deese/Pageland, SC and a walk by Kershner brought Fletcher back to the plate and he delivered again with a single. Nally scored to tie the game at 7-7 but Deese was thrown out at the plate to end the inning.
The tie was short-lived, however, as Redic and Tripp Lockhart hit back-to-back homeruns for the Braves to make it 9-7. Freshman Brad Boob/Charlotte, NC settled down after that to retire the next three batters but the Cobras were retired in order in the ninth after the deflating homers.
Boob took the loss for CC and Sandy Jacobs earned the win for Pembroke. Fletcher went 4-4 on the day with a run scored and one RBI. Dawson finished 2-3 at the plate with two RBI and a run scored and Kershner went 2-4 with a RBI and a run scored.
Coker will next head to Columbia, SC to take on Benedict College in a double-header on Saturday, February 5, at 1:00 PM.

About Helen Sear
Helen Sear works with her photographs as if they were veils, layering multiple images to create evocative landscapes, each delicately inscribed with a figure. She describes her approach as "a double time of image making," referring to the instant during which she takes each photograph and the time during which she superimposes her photographic images. By deliberately combining photographs taken at different times and in different locations, Sear plays with the notion of site-specificity and the reliability of the camera as a documentary recording device.

Patriotic Cakes (and a Pie!) for the Fourth of July
Don't worry, we're going to get to the traditional flag cake. It's a classic! And so easy and festive. But first, how gorgeous is this patriotic layered cake? It's from Bree at Baked Bree, and we think it's stunning.
Bree's cake is a riff on the super epic rainbow cake that Whisk Kid made (blog) famous. It is definitely more labor-intensive than decorating a sheet cake with strawberries and blueberries. But it really lights our fireworks, if you know what we're saying...

Volleyball team to host eight team tournament
The Brady girls made quick work of South Loup and Medicine Valley in a triangular last week, leaving the Eagles more time to prepare for their own eight-team invite this weekend.
The Eagles defeated South Loup 25-11, 25-11 and beat Medicine Valley 25-6, 25-11 at Curtis on Sept. 14.
"Sometimes it's difficult to keep girls focused and not play down to an opponent," said coach Lynne Johnson. "The girls did a really good job and at the same time we were able to try a few new things we couldn't do in a tight match."
Getting more players in the game and executing different offensive sets in a lower pressure situation should help make the team stronger, the coach said.
And after a week of practicing against each other, the Eagles are ready for a little stiffer challenge.
Brady travels to Eustis-Farnam (3-8) on Friday before hosting a tournament Saturday.
Teams coming to town include South Loup, Eustis-Farnam, Stapleton-McPherson County, Anselmo-Merna, Maxwell, Wauneta-Palisade and Mullen.
Brady's first game is against South Loup at 10:30 a.m. Eustis-Farnam plays SMC at the same time followed by Anselmo-Merna against Maxwell and Mullen facing Wauneta-Palisade.
With an identical record of 8-1 and an Omaha World-Herald rating at No. 9, Johnson expects

Carly Rae Jepsen Crowd Surfs to 'Call Me Maybe' at 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards
Carly Rae Jepsen got the party started at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards, performing the most infectious song of the year, 'Call Me Maybe.'
Though Jepsen sported a sophisticated, stunning gown on the red carpet, she changed into eyeball print leggings and a black, strapless corset top for her performance in Frankfurt, Germany for the EMAs. Jepsen was clearly thrilled to be there. Her face was glowing with excitement, her vocals were on point and she even crowd surfed before the second verse!
The Justin Bieber-Scooter Braun protege took home two trophies for 'Call Me Maybe,' winning Best Song and Best Push.
Jepsen's MTV EMAs aren't the only accolades 'Call Me Maybe' have gotten her lately. Jepsen was recently named Billboard's Rising Star of 2012, with 'Call Me Maybe' nabbing 2012 Song of the Summer. It spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, selling more than 10 million copies across the globe and setting a record for a Canadian artist.
And almost just as cool as her wins and her performance? Taylor Swift singing and dancing along. Too cute! Who wants to bet they bonded over their bangs after the show?

Drawknives & Spokeshaves
These once-standard tools have a place in the modern shop.

From the December 2008 Issue #173

When the last grains of sand run through my hourglass, I know how I want to check out. I want to drop on the shop floor in the middle of a project. The mortician will have to pry my woodworking machines out of the cold dead fingers of my left hand. He will then have to pry my hand tools out of the cold dead fingers of my right. The last two tools he will wrest from my grasp will be my drawknife and my wooden spokeshave. I am so dependent on these two tools, that I am sure when that final moment comes, they will be in my hands.
Early records show that a drawknife and a spokeshave were in every woodworker's kit. In fact, these guys often owned more than one. Why? These are two of woodworking's most useful tools. Today's woodworkers will benefit as much from them as did the old guys. I am writing about the two tools together because that is how they are often used – together.

Game Review: Western Conference Semfinal Game 6 – Canucks @ Predators
The Vancouver Canucks are moving on the to Western Conference Final for the first time in 17 years. And for only the third time in their history, the Canucks win a 7 game series in 6 games.
And this game was a perfect microcosm for the series overall.
So how exactly was this game an exemplary microcosm of the whole series?
Well, Kesler led the team, with 2 assists and basically MADE the first goal happen.
The goaltending was solid at both ends.
The Predators minute amount of offense came from Legwand and Ward. And it came on a ridiculously fluky goal.
The Predators power play was completely anemic, while the Canucks' man advantage, while sparse, was lethal.
And just like 4 of the other 5 games in this series, the road team won.
The Canucks certainly weren't making it easy on themselves to start the game. Henrik Sedin took a dubious high-sticking penalty less than a minute into the game, followed a few minutes later by another penalty call on Kevin Bieksa. All in all, the Canucks were shorthanded 4 times in the first period, yet, despite only 7 shots on net, went into the first intermission with a 2-0 lead. The first goal was all effort from Kesler, dragging the puck deep in the Preds zone, then centering the puck to a wide-open Mason Raymond who beat a sprawled Pekka Rinne. The Canucks got a much-needed two-goal lead on the power play, as Henrik threw the puck at the net from the corner, tipped though by Kesler and swatted home by Daniel.
Again, Kesler put the team on his back and carried them through this game and through this entire round.
The Preds only goal came, once again, on a fluke. David Legwand shoots it at Luongo from behind the net and it takes a funny hop on the bad ice and just ever-so-slightly squeaks over the goal line before Lu falls on it. The Canucks did virtually nothing in the second period to generate offense, with only 2 shots on net. But as they went came out of the room for the third period, the Canucks, nursing that 2-1 lead with only 9 shots on net, took over the game. They forechecked relentlessly, they kept the puck moving toward the Nashville net as much as possible and forced the Predators to defend, exactly what you want to do when you have a lead in a game where you can clinch the series.
Tonight, their best players were their penalty killers, who kept the Predators from getting any significant chances on the power play. And their PK was led by Luongo, who was fantastic again, putting the ghosts of the Chicago series well behind him.
And now, the Canucks are returning home and moving on to the Western Conference Final.
Three Big Stats
Here are my top 3 stats from last night's game:
1. 14:00 and 17:47. Daniel and Henrik's individual ice time, respectively. The amount of penalty killing in the first period certainly contributed to reduced TOI for both Sedins. But it was obviously that Kesler was driving the bus, not the Sedins. But beyond that, it's REALLY hard to explain how Daniel only got 14 minutes of ice time tonight.
2. 11 points. Ryan Kesler had 5G 6A in 6 games against Nashville, including 2 assists in Game 6. Kesler now leads the NHL playoff scoring race with 15 points. Simply amazing.
3. 3-0. The Canucks were perfect in Nashville, winning all three games at Bridgestone Arena. In fact, there was only one home-ice victory in this series, and that was Game 1. For the Canucks, who won their series against the Blackhawks by going 3-1 at home, it was an interesting switch to go 3-0 in road games in the second round. Adaptation – a key to success.
Three Big Moments
Here are my top 3 moments from last night's game:
1. Mason Raymond's opening goal, all because of Ryan Kesler and his effort. He was again in beast mode.
2. Jeff Tambellini's goal-saving dash. Martin Erat takes an errant pass and is a full zone clear from Tamby, but Tamby simply flies down the ice and, at the last second, muscles Erat off the puck without taking a penalty. Amazing, considering this was Tambellini's first playoff game ever.
3. Daniel Sedin's game-winning, power play goal. Won the game, won the series. 'Nuff said.

My name is Jorge Chavez Saab and I am a US-born Mexican. I was born in State College, Pennsylvania while my parents were in graduate school at Penn State University. We returned to Mexico when I was about 3 months old, so I am Mexican both ethnically and culturally.
My enthusiasm towards Physics started in 9th grade, when my Physics teacher decided to start an Olympic team and asked me to join it. At this time, Physics was just another subject to me, but I soon began to realize that my teacher was probably one of the best ones in my state and was preparing us to a very solid level. As I progressed in the Olympiad, I began to grow more and more fond of Physics.
However, this middle school Olympiad only got to the national level. When it finished, I found myself desiring more opportunities to challenge myself. I found these in high school, where I gave my all to the Olympiad, and eventually ended up where I am right now – preparing for the Iberoamerican Physics Olympiad to take place in Spain next September, after more than a year of preparation and tough competence.
I will be attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology next fall to study pure Physics, and I am thrilled to attend a foreign university where I will be able to challenge and measure myself against others!

Your OWN personal morality
Your OWN personal morality
Not what you think a universal morality ought to be, not one of the officially approved moralities (of church or state or any other group of humans) but the morality that YOU live by, your own personal conviction guiding your everyday life.
If you have one that you are aware of, that you are ready to explain to each other.
Jeff asked me in the "Munitions Factory" thread and I gave him my own description the best I could (Post #36).
It would be interesting to see how many of us have clearly identified moral principles and how these principles help us live our lives.
RE: Your OWN personal morality
Not sure if this is the same thing, but these are a few of the rules I live by:
- I consider it a responsibility to help feed people. Not just my family. I do this by sharing harvests, bringing people to my home for meals, and donating food. (For example, last year I grew a potato patch for the salvation army in my area. Ended up donating over 150 pounds)
- Educating people is pinnacle in my life. I may not be very book-smart, but there are things I know, and I try to take every opportunity to pass that on to others.
- I don't consider the land I have a posession. I am a steward of the land. I am charged with keeping it healthy, and taking from it only what I can without harming it. What I do take belongs to everyone (hence sharing food being a pivotal part of my life)
- Do unto others...I don't care where the saying came from. It's the way I try to live.
- Tolerating something does not equal approving of it. I tolerate many things, so myself and others can live peacefully. When those things begin to harm others, I stop tolerating them and begin acting against them.
.....it's tough to put your morality into words. Thanks for the challenge. I'll think on this some more.
So many cats, so few good recipes.

I like this one in particular. All too often people equate tolerance with approval or acceptance when all it means is that one tolerates something else.
I tolerate lots of things but as was said, it doesn't mean I agree and just because I do not openly accept something does not mean I am against something or bigoted.
Anyways..no matter what another person has done I always try to understand them and have at least a shred of compassion for them. I will not use slander to dehumanize someone just so I can justify hatefulness.
Like "Stark Raving" it is hard for me to put my morals into words so all I can say is this, I try to do what is right, I try to be respectful and endeavor not to purposely hurt others for the mere sake of being nasty.
I don't like that certain things like abortion exists but I would never think of supporting laws that deny a person their rights. (Ok..I might question their motives) but it is not right to respect only those rights that harmonize with my own views (within reason of course) Ok..that sounded stupid so I'll just be quiet now!
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.
To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.

RE: Your OWN personal morality
Well a few things I live by are:
- Helping: Most likely I want to help people with acts and not with money. I do not donate to charities. When I see someone on the street who needs help, I do help. Same with friends and family as far as I can.
- Honesty: I hate liars. Not talking about emergency lies. I do not lie (again apart from emergency lies which happened only once in my life). If someone asks me, he will get an honest answer.
- Kindness/professionality: I try to stay kind or at least professional. I won't ever be rude or unfriendly for personal reasons. But I am not afraid to tell someone to "fuck off" in certain situations.
- Nature: I try to be as good as I can towards nature and our planet. I do not own a car, though I would like to sometimes. I recycle most of the time. I don't throw garbage on the road. I walk a lot instead of taking a bus. I behave respectfully towards flora and fauna. (as respectful as I can in this environment)
- Animals: Animals live on this planet together. Counting humans as one race of animals. We are supposed to live next to each other without hurting each other. When I encounter animal cruelty I report to the authorities (beating, not feeding, catching birds in the park, things like that).
- Egoism: A bit of egoism is important for me. Though I like caring for others I will make myself feel good, too. And I will put myself first in certain situations. Especially when it is about my peace of mind.
That's a bit of it... Of course there is a lot more to it but it get's too detailed.
Overall I draw very clear lines for myself for how to act in certain situations. Some things seem cold harded, rude, unfair to others. But I do what I think is best for everyone.
I want to give examples but I notice that my eyes are getting tired.
Edit: just saw you guys talking about tolerance. I am very tolerant towards lot's of things. Only illegal or immoral (in my sense) things will not be tollerated by me.

RE: Your OWN personal morality
This is pretty tough. I think it's hard because I don't actively try to be a good person.
I generally try to make those in my company feel comfortable and not hurt anyone physically or emotionally unless they really have it coming. I guess I could break it down into understanding, respect, and compassion.

RE: Your OWN personal morality
Of course, i wasn't hatched under a rock. I was brought up by a conventional family in a normal modern society and heard all the usual tales about overcoming obstacles for the sake of loyalty, defeating dragons for the sake of love; "holding on one minute longer", fighting injustice and defending the weak....
I didn't reject very much of that, but i couldn't live up to it either, and later discovered that most people can't, and many don't care. That's okay - as long as most of us try for common decency most of the time, the world is liveable.
What makes me sad is people jeering at goodness.
I'm neither hero nor villain. I've been guilty of lying and petty larceny, and didn't feel terrible about it; did feel terrible about negligence that led to trouble for someone else. Most of my sins are of omission, caused by cowardice or laziness.
I've done small good deeds, as opportunity presented, and feel pretty good about being generous or kind.
The most important moral principles are compassion and fairness. If i can manage that, more often than not, i'm doing all right.
If you pray to anything, you're prey to anything.

RE: Your OWN personal morality
The golden rule --- "do unto others as you would have done unto you" --- is golden for a reason. Or to quote Alestra Crowley "Do what thou wilt, so long as harm shall come to none." Good morals benefit yourself and others, and bad morals cause harm to yourself or others.
Of course there are cases where some people benefit while others are harmed. Even a theist who argues that lying is a sin will find it hard to justify that in the famous example of "lying to Nazis to protect hidden Jews." We all understand that the issue isn't black and white, nor is it easy, but it is simple to form general guidelines --- for instance, one atheist friend suggests "do unto others as they would have done unto them", a slight variation on the golden rule. Tougher cases can always be brought to peers and evaluated, just like any idea can.
My girlfriend is mad at me. Perhaps I shouldn't have tried cooking a stick in her non-stick pan.

RE: Your OWN personal morality
I guess I might as well add my own here, even though I have posted it already in the "Munitions Factory" thread.
I am old, my life is almost over, and I have to look back to see what it has been about.
My answer is multifold.
- Develop my potentials as much as I could
- Worship the beauty of this world I was born into
- Worship the power of the human mind to see truth
- Share as much of it as possible with my fellow travelers
- Help those who were not as fortunate as I have been.
In this life there is no room for violence, hate, political systems, ideologies, envy, greed, gluttony, power-seeking, brutality.
I look upon the world as a ONE: one planet, multiple living species, one of which is mine. I want to share and share equally, both with humans and with other life forms.
I know that it is not possible, but in my mind I live in that world and behave as if I was actually living in that world.
I am not a Hungarian, not a Canadian, not a Westerner, not part of any sub-groups – I am a human being living my limited life on this one Planet and trying to make the most of it.
I would never knowingly work in an environment that produces harmful things.
When I go to the store and buy food, I get something from people who worked hard to give me something I need to keep me alive, keep my body healthy and well fed.
I OWE them something in return.
What I owe them has to be equally nourishing to them, equally beneficial to them, to their children, to others.
I know, EVERYTHING can be justified on some level and has been justified, from the beginning of history. By war, by self-defense, by righting a wrong, by purifying a race, by revenge, by god, by the 'marketplace', by group-loyalty.
Justifications are dime a dozen.
Now I can get involved in the justification game – or I can just get out of the entire game and say: "I will do no harm".
I want to be able to look into the mirror every morning and say, with clear conscience: today I am giving those people something in return -- something that doesn't need justification: food for their table, fixing their plumbing, educating their kids, music, poetry, woodcarving, telling them the truth on Forums.

RE: Your OWN personal morality
Treat others as you yourself would want to be treated.
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

When it comes to weight-loss surgery, Rafael Torres is happy to be a role model for others, even when it means becoming a model for the latest in fashion. The 41-year old Sacramento resident plans to proudly show off his new, healthy physique at UC Davis Medical Center's 10th annual bariatric fashion show.
The event takes place Friday, Jan. 25, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the auditorium of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, 4501 X Street, in Sacramento.
The occasion celebrates weight-loss surgery success stories and this year features more than two dozen former patients — men and women — who will model clothing for business, leisure and formal occasions. The medical center's bariatric surgery staff established the stylish extravaganza as a fun way for patients to share their stories of weight-loss achievements and try on clothing they never could have considered before surgery.
This year's contingent of 14 bariatric surgery models has lost a total of nearly a ton. Torres, a sales representative for an energy savings assistance program, at one time weighed 470 pounds. Over the past year, he has lost approximately 250 pounds after undergoing surgery at the medical center.
"It's been a total change in my life," said Torres, who now runs two miles a day and regularly does weight training. "It's not just a physical change, it's a mental and spiritual change, too."
Bariatrics is the branch of medicine specializing in the causes, prevention and treatment of obesity. Bariatric surgery is usually reserved for people who have been unsuccessful in other weight-loss programs and are at least 100 pounds overweight. Studies have shown that the procedure provides much more than a cosmetic benefit. It can reduce major health risks such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 78 million adults and about 12.5 million children and adolescents around the country are obese, which is defined as having too much body fat, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher in an adult. In 2009, a study published by the journal Health Affairs estimated the medical costs associated with obesity were $147 billion per year.
Gastric bypass — also known as Roux-en-Y — has become the most common form of weight-reduction surgery in the United States. It involves creating a stomach pouch out of a small portion of the stomach and attaching it directly to the small intestine to limit the amount of food that can be eaten or absorbed. In December 2011, Torres underwent the procedure, enabling him to achieve a much healthier life.
"My diabetes disappeared within one month after surgery," said Torres, whose successful weight loss and renewed vigor inspired several of his neighbors to also undergo the procedure. "I now have more energy than I've ever had in my life. I thought it would be a big struggle to eat right, but it's been great."
UC Davis surgeons Mohamed Ali and Jonathan Pierce lead the UC Davis team that has performed nearly 2,500 bariatric procedures over the past decade. The medical center program has earned Center of Excellence designation from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery for its comprehensive, high-quality care and successful patient outcomes.
Local sponsors loaning the latest in fashion or contributing styling and make-up expertise include the Men's Wearhouse, Kohl's, Blossom Salon and Gigi Hill. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the UC Davis Bariatric Surgery Program, which hosts special obesity education and weight management classes, in addition to offering several different surgical options for weight loss.

NEW DELHI (AP) — At least 26 people have died in two separate road accidents in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, police said Tuesday.
A bus and a truck carrying passengers collided in the state's Bijapur district Monday afternoon killing 18 people, said police official Ajay Hilori.
The truck tried to overtake a vehicle on a curved road and crashed into the bus coming from the opposite direction.
Hilori said the truck had a capacity of 16 passengers, but was carrying 22. The crash killed four woman and 14 men on the truck, he said. Four others were injured, one of them critically. The bus passengers escaped with minor injuries.
In another accident, an overcrowded bus veered off the road and plunged into a lake, killing eight people in Hassan district in Karnataka on Tuesday.
Local residents and police rescued most of the people in the bus while a few passengers swam to safety, said Ramalinga Reddy, Karnataka's transport minister. Dozens of survivors had minor injuries, Reddy said.
The bus had a capacity of 50 passengers but was carrying 62 people when the accident happened Tuesday.
Reddy said the bus driver swerved to avoid a scooter and lost control of the vehicle, which plowed into the lake.
India has the world's deadliest roads, with more than 110,000 people killed annually. Most crashes are blamed on reckless driving, poorly maintained roads and aging vehicles.

U.S. Takes Top Spot in Global Connectivity Study Commissioned by Nokia
WASHINGTON, February 1, 2010 - The United States took the top spot on the 2009 Connectivity Scorecard, a research project linking increased national technological connectivity with socio-economic transformation. Professor Leonard Waverman of the London Business School and economic consulting firm LECG put together the scorecard focusing on 50 countries using metrics such as national usage, skills and infrastructure. Waverman found that the United States leads more categories than any other nation – its person computer penetration of businesses is excellent and the nation takes top prize in secure server deployment. However, he found that consumer infrastructure does not score as highly for the United States as its other metrics and its "broadband and 3G penetration are average." Keep Reading

Worker killed in stump grinder accident
June 20. 2013 10:46PM
PORTSMOUTH — An Urban Tree Service worker was killed Thursday in an accident involving a stump grinder, according to authorities.
Seacoastonline.com reported state Medical Examiner Will Bartels said the man died following traumatic injuries to his body at a 260 Gosport Road residence.
"We lost an important member of our team today," said Ed Hopkins, president of Urban Tree Service/A Tree Health Company Inc. of Rochester. "This was a tragic accident and we are all trying to understand how to cope with it. I would like to extend our deepest sympathies and support to the family."
The man's name was withheld, pending family notification.
Police and firefighters responded to the scene as well as a crime scene van and Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials, the report said.
"This is probably the first stump grinder accident that I've seen," Bartels told seacoastonline.com.

A legislative proposal to leverage student activity fees to help pay to renovate the J. Wayne Reitz Union and turn Newell Hall into a student study center is dead.
A legislative proposal to leverage student activity fees to help pay to renovate the J. Wayne Reitz Union and turn Newell Hall into a student study center is dead.
UF officials and Student Government had asked the Legislature for permission to bond the university's Capital Improvement Trust Fund. They expected that would raise a total of $33 million for both improvements.
The Florida House of Representatives had agreed to the request, but the Senate and Gov. Rick Scott opposed it. The Legislature approved a budget Monday that doesn't include the authorization.
"It's unfortunate. Obviously, we're disappointed," said Collin Thompson, press secretary for Student Government.
The Reitz Union was built in 1967 and has seen a number of additions and renovations over the years. The new project would have included a 100,000-square-foot expansion, with a new ballroom, lounges and dance studios. A 75,000-square-foot expansion to the existing union would follow.
Newell Hall, the third-oldest building on campus, sits at the center of campus and has been vacant for years because of maintenance issues. It has no central air-conditioning, the masonry is in disrepair, and it has mechanical and electrical problems. The plan was to repurpose the building as a study hall or "library without books."
The total amount needed for the Reitz Union renovation is $75 million. UF already has $55 million available from other sources, leaving it $20 million short.
In order to bridge that gap, officials sought to leverage money already in the Capital Improvement Trust Fund. Students pay $6.76 per credit hour to the fund, which can be bonded every four years to pay for student-oriented buildings on campus.
Last year, the UF Board of Trustees agreed to raise the fee by $2 per credit hour expressly to raise money for the Reitz Union renovations. The fund now has about $11 million in it.
The goal was to bond that money to raise a total of $33 million, enough to complete the Reitz Union project as well as the Newell renovations.
Losing the authorization to bond the money leaves the Reitz project short, and no money for the Newell Hall repairs.
UF Student Body President T.J. Villamil had made getting the additional funds a cornerstone of his term. Three weeks ago, he sent out a letter to UF alumni and supporters pleading for them to reach out to their state lawmakers to approve the bonding authority.
The extra money could have been used to increase office space for Student Government, consolidated office space for student services, and increased the amount of rehearsal studio space.
Thompson said 900 student organizations are crammed into five offices, student services are scattered across campus and dancers rehearse on concrete patios at night.

Over at Macleans OnCampus, Robyn Urback shrugs off the political and social causes and implications of the UK riots. Fair enough; you can make a reasoned argument in that direction, even though I disagree. But she does one very unfortunate thing while making her case, which is fairly emblematic of the problems I've noticed with media coverage of the unrest.
In arguing that the riots had nothing to do with poverty or inequality, she makes the following statement:
And many of the rioters, in fact, are not disadvantaged youth, but 30-something teachers, youth workers, and graphic designers. To ponder socio-economic excuses for these crimes is to give those who have succumbed to mob mentality a political agenda to fall back on.
The first problem here is to pluralize 'teachers', 'youth workers' and 'graphic designers'. If you follow Urback's own links, it is clear that only one teacher, one youth worker, and one graphic designer have been arrested. Contrary to what Urback suggests, wild packs of young professionals are not roaming the streets of London, and the vast majority of the rioters remain young, under- or unemployed, and poor.
Urback also makes the mistake of suggesting that the outlier is in fact representative of the whole. The teacher, designer, youth worker, future soldier and grad student (these latter two being identified in other media reports as counter-intuitive examples of riot participants) represent about 0.5 per cent of the total arrests (the latest arrest reports indicate that "more than 900″ people have been detained, so I'm pegging the number at about 950). In quantitative analysis, this is what we refer to as "statistically insignificant". There may well be more young professionals arrested, but we don't actually know if this is true or how many there are. It is therefore wrong to suggest that the rioters include a large number of comfy middle class folks, and to further conclude that this means the riots have nothing to do with inequality.
Urback is by no means the only reporter to confuse weather (a discrete phenomenon) with climate (a generalized trend) in the riot story. Her example is nevertheless important in understanding how this distorts debate. The pictures and video of the riots discomfit many observers, and this kind of outlier-as-reality is a convenient way to insulate analysis from deeper questions of cause and context. Portraying the violence as a kind of random, inexplicable outbreak of mindless criminality is comforting to many, because it prevents the necessary consideration of why the riots are happening, and how they might be complicit in the overarching social and economic circumstances that fueled the unrest. This is an understandable response, as no one likes being uncomfortable. However, I would suggest it is not an appropriate response for members of the media, those who are tasked with interpreting these events for the rest of us.

So Shaq Would Have Scored 500 g's on the Dunkometer?Posted by rtmsf on February 25th, 2009
We're total suckers for this kind of thing (h/t TSN).
Clemson University's physics department (Clemson has a physics department? who knew…) has come up with some contraption (pictured) that supposedly can tell us just how much force a basket is subjected to when a large athletic manchild decides to jump up, grab it, and throw an orange ball through the middle of it as hard as he possibly can.
We're having a little trouble believing that Clemson could come up with something like this – a dunkometer – but if it's actually reliable, score one for State U. over the nerds at MIT and Cal Tech. According to the CU spokesperson, who doubtless was the guy with one of the lovelies pictured below:
Ray Sykes had a nasty dunk at the East Carolina University game," said Jonathan Cox, one of the students working on the project. "It peaked at a little over 30 g's, one of the highest recorded so far. That's awesome when you consider an earthquake's ground motion produces accelerations around point five and one g.
So they're saying that Ray Sykes' dunk was 30-60 times more powerful than an earthquake? What does that even mean? Part of us wonders if this isn't a prank by the three nerds at Clemson on the rest of the campus… "see what happens when you put a 40 up there!… watch how crazy they'll get!"
We would be interested in learning what this particular dunk would have scored, though. Probably 100 Hiroshimas combined with 50 earthquakes.

Trane Worldwide Sites
There is a difference when it comes to heating and cooling. The line of Trane Axiom horizontal and vertical water-source heat pumps are built to take heating and cooling to a whole new level. A superior design makes the Trane Axiom units one of the quietest and most efficient on the market. Every unit is constructed with more "value-added" features that ultimately give the Axiom units more flexibility and a lower life cycle cost.
Airflow Combinations
Trane Axiom units offer multiple supply and return air combinations, including a "same side" option (horizontal) to provide greater flexibility and freedom in unit placement while minimizing ductwork.
The GEH Model supports six airflow combinations. All airflow configurations may be field converted or order specific. The same side supply/return configuration allows the unit to be placed against a wall, eliminating the need for additional space and ductwork.
The GEV Model supports four airflow combinations. The airflow configurations may be field converted with a retrofit kit, or factory specified.
Additionally, the 6 to 25 ton horizontal and vertical water-source heat pumps used in a broad range of applications. Model GEH is a ceiling hung product and model GEV is a closet or mezzanine product. Both options provide superior serviceability to maintenance components; indoor air quality standards; sound attenuation; and best of all, higher efficiencies rated in accordance to ARI-ISO 13256-1 performance and ASHRAE 90.1 standards.

America's diplomats and generals aren't alone in watching the unfolding conflict between Russia and neighboring Ukraine. The U.S. agriculture sector is following the faraway events closely for reasons of both opportunity and risk.
From rising global commodity prices to potential supply disruptions, there's a lot at stake in the conflict for American farmers and producers.
Ukraine is the world's third-largest corn exporter and sixth-largest wheat exporter. Russia is the world's fifth-biggest wheat exporter _ and a large buyer of U.S. corn and poultry products.
Since the early 2000s, both countries have garnered a bigger slice of the global market. What does or doesn't happen there affects decision-making on American farms.
"This is a region where we have been facing stiff competition from Ukraine," said Thomas Sleight, the president and CEO of the U.S. Grains Council, which develops markets for U.S.-grown corn and sorghum. "Longer term, everyone is waiting to see what effect credit availability will have on Ukrainian farmers' willingness to plant and continue expanding their acreage of wheat and corn."
Before the conflict, Ukrainian corn farmers had access to loans and were on a pace to eventually rival the U.S. corn belt as well as big producers such as Brazil. The loans now come with tougher conditions.
Farm-sector analysts had forecast lower corn acreage in the United States this year, but that was before tensions exploded after Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula. All eyes are now on the May corn planting in Ukraine.
"If things get worse there . . . that might send different (market) signals to U.S. producers," said Sleight.
While Russia's farm sector is an important generator of revenue, the Obama administration is unlikely to target it for economic sanctions.
"You don't disturb what people are fed," said Anders Aslund, a Russia expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, adding that "on top of that, U.S. companies are heavily involved."
The world's largest grain traders are U.S-based companies such as Bunge, Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland, said Aslund, meaning that "from a general political point of view it's the least attractive thing you'd like to touch."
The two countries are also an important growth market for John Deere tractors, pesticide manufacturers and high-tech seed companies such as Monsanto.
The standoff is already causing economic fallout.
Russia's ruble and Ukraine's hryvnia have sunk against the U.S. dollar by about 10 percent and 35 percent, respectively. That worries U.S. poultry producers, since Russia was the second-largest market for U.S.-raised chicken products last year, after Mexico. Poultry exports to Russia last year amounted to 304,000 tons, worth $309 million.
"As far as our members are concerned, it's pretty much been business as usual, no threats. They're importing product," said Toby Moore, spokesman for the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council in Atlanta. "The bigger concern is the decline in the value of the ruble, which makes our products more expensive in Russia. But so far, so good."
The most immediate impact is being felt in the futures market, where contracts are traded daily for future deliveries of wheat, corn and numerous other commodities. Wheat futures for July delivery jumped sharply this week at the Chicago Board of Trade on concerns about the broadening Russia-Ukraine conflict.
U.S. farmers get a windfall from the rising futures price. But disruption of the global supply is unwelcome and soaring prices mess up the broader planting cycle, since farmers rotate crops.
Prices would go much higher if the conflict escalates into warfare, which would likely thwart grains from reaching export markets.
"We're afraid of a disruption," said Jack Scoville, a senior market analyst and broker for the PRICE Futures Group in Chicago.
On Tuesday, traders fretted over unconfirmed rumors that a Russian plane had been shot down somewhere by someone.
"I have no idea if that is true or not. All I can tell you is we're reacting," Scoville said, underscoring the skittishness. "There is absolutely no confirmation. . . . The futures are reacting big time. But I haven't seen a news article that something actually happened over there."
The sagging currencies also raise the prospect that farmers in Russia and Ukraine might sit on harvested crops in hopes the currency will rebound and they can earn more. It could lead in months ahead to tighter global supplies and higher prices. That would be a windfall on top of one already enjoyed by U.S. farmers because of the rising price of contracts for future deliveries.
"That's giving the farmer a higher return on what he's selling," said Steve Speck, a vice president of the Lansing Trade Group, a national grains trader based in Overland Park, Kan.

A 9-year-old boy from Georgia was injured Nov. 20 after being struck by a car on Ramunno Drive in Middletown. The driver was not charged or cited because police said that they boy did not yield to traffic and did not cross at a crosswalk.
A 9-year-old boy from Georgia was injured Nov. 20 after being struck by a car on Ramunno Drive in Middletown.
At around 5:20 p.m., the boy left the playground on Vincent Circle with a group of children. As they were crossing Ramunno Drive, just south of Ash Boulevard, the group was separated by traffic.
As the 9-year-old attempted to cross the street, a black Kia Sol being operated by John A. Shaw, 44, of Middletown, struck him.
The boy had attempted to cross the road immediately behind a southbound vehicle, and was struck with he entered the northbound lanes.
Shaw was driving at about 15 MPH, police said. He had reduced his speed due to the presence of the first group of children crossing the roadway and for the stop sign at the intersection of Ash Boulevard.
The boy, who was visited from Rome, Ga. was taken to the A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children and treated and released for minor injuries.
Shaw was not cited or charged because police said that the boy had failed to yield right of way to vehicular traffic when he was not in a cross walk.

Ergon crews work to restore power
Crews have begun restoring power to properties in Warwick as floodwaters recede.
About 80 customers in the town had their power supply disconnected yesterday as a safety precaution and they are being progressively re-connected where it is safe to do so as the water level falls.
Crews also were able to gain access to carry out repairs to the network that enabled power to be restored to about 120 customers in the Goomburra area.
About 30 customers remain without power in Junabee and Swan Creek, although crews were able to access the area this afternoon and expect to restore power to some customers.
In Chinchilla, about 80 properties have been disconnected and up to 30 more may have to be disconnected based on the predictions for the flood peak.
At this stage, there have been no faults identified with the network in Chinchilla.
In Dalby, power has been reinstated to one of the two homes disconnected due to flooding. A small number of pumps also remain disconnected.
In Toowoomba, crews have completed repairs to the network and power has been restored to all customers who have reported individual supply faults.
Any customers who do not have supply at this stage should telephone Ergon Energy on 13 22 96.

General Comments: Futures closed lower on good weather in Africa and weak demand ideas. Ideas are that processors are not active in the market right now and are hoping for lower prices before buying again. Some processors have large stocks to work down as well as many bought early due to the new marketing program in Ivory Coast. The weather now is good in West Africa, with more moderate temperatures and some rains. Ideas are that production in West Africa could be less next crop year as well despite the improved weather as farmers have not liked offered prices. The mid crop harvest is moving to completion, and less than expected production along with smaller beans is reported. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of isolated showers. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 4.958 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 2260, 2235, and 2220 July, with resistance at 2310, 2350, and 2360 July. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1515, 1490, and 1470 July, with resistance at 1560, 1580, and 1590 July.
General Comments: Futures were lower in response to weak Chinese economic data. The export sales report was strong, but not strong enough to offset the bad news from overseas. The weather has improved in all areas with some precipitation in Texas areas and drier weather in the forecast for the next few days for the Delta and Southeast. Traders also were looking for new signs of demand, but were not finding much. Ideas are that the demand can continue for now as China moves to increase its stocks. Planting conditions for the next crop remain a problem in the US. Dry weather is forecast for the Delta and Southeast, and warm weather is expected in Texas this week. Ideas are that farmers can get a lot of planting done with dry and warm conditions.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see dry conditions or afternoon showers. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Texas will get mostly dry weather, but showers are possible on Friday. Temperatures will average mostly above normal. The USDA spot price is now 77.24 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.511 million bales, from 0.509 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are down with objectives of 81.30 and 80.90 July. Support is at 80.10, 79.00, and 78.10 July, with resistance of 82.20, 82.90, and 83.60 July.

Is It Obama's Fault?
Tonight I was listening to Hugh Hewitt as I drove to the grocery store, and got so engrossed that I missed my exit. What was so interesting? Hugh was arguing that the Obama administration failed to respond promptly to the oil spill in the Gulf, and that its belated response was inadequate. Is that a fair charge? Normally, I would be slow to blame government at any level for a »
Minnesota GOP Picks Emmer
Today Minnesota's Republican convention selected Representative Tom Emmer as its nominee to replace Tim Pawlenty as Governor. Emmer competed for the nomination against Marty Seifert, who was Minority Leader of the House in recent years. Both candidates were thoroughgoing conservatives. I never endorsed either one because there was nothing to choose between them on the issues. The question came down to electability, and I figured the ability to get the »
What price indirect talks?
Secretary of State Clinton says that indirect talks between Israel and the PA will begin next week. But Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat suggests that the talks are not a done deal. He says that "every effort is being made" to have the talks go forward, but the official decision will be made by the Arab foreign ministers and the PLO executive committee. You have to believe that the fix is »
An evening of French-Jewish music
Pro Musica Hebraica is an organization devoted to presenting Jewish classical music — much of it lost, forgotten, or rarely performed — in a concert hall setting. It is the project of Charles and Robyn Krauthammer (respectively, the chairman and the chief executive officer). I reported on Pro Musica Hebraica's November 2009 concert, which featured baroque music from Italy and Holland, here. Last night, my wife and I attended Pro »
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has made official what has been strongly suspected for some time — facing the certain prospect of a resounding defeat in the Republican primary, Crist will run for the Senate as an independent. My general view is that it may well make sense for politicians who have held high office in a state to run for election as an independent if their party eventually rejects them. »
Learning From Experience
Polls consistently show that most Americans have more faith in lower taxes than in higher spending as an engine of job creation. This Rasmussen survey confirms that preference, with an interesting twist: A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters finds that 66% believe cutting taxes is a better way to create new jobs than increasing government spending. That's up seven points from January. Just 18% think increasing »
At some point you have grabbed enough power
Given that poorer citizens always outnumber the rich, the classic political philosophers held that government based on majority rule was untenable. They were of the view that it would lead to organized theft from the wealthy by the democratic masses. Thus Aristotle warned in The Politics, for example: "If the majority distributes among itself the things of a minority, it is evident that it will destroy the city." The Founders »
Dust bowl, California-style
Writing from Coalinga, California, for Investor's Business Daily, Monica Showalter opens her report on the drought with a few rhetorical questions: "Would France rip out its storied vineyards? Would Juan Valdez scorch Colombia's coffee crop? Sri Lanka its black pepper harvest? China its tea?" Showalter writes: On a springtime drive through the Central Valley, it's hard not to notice how federal and state governments are hell-bent on destroying the state's »

A hero in defeat
Last night, the Washington Capitals suffered as devastating a defeat as a sports team can experience. The Caps had the best record in the National Hockey League and were expected to skate past the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs. After all, the Canadiens had barely made the playoffs. The Capitals took a 3-1 in games after winning two in a row in Montreal. But they then »
Whistling past the death panel
President Obama has selected Dr. Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Berwick is a Harvard professor, a pediatrician, and the CEO of a nonprofit that, according to its website, has a staff of over 100 people. These seem like dubious qualifications to head a massive organization with a budget greater than that of the Department of Defense. As Jeffrey Anderson explains, however, Dr. Berwick is »
The Smear Continues
You'd think the Lamestream Media would give it up, but no: they are determined to push the absurd claim that Tea Partiers are "racists." Never mind that the issues driving the Tea Parties–the constitutional role of the federal government, bailouts and government takeovers, spiraling deficits and out of control spending–self-evidently have nothing to do with race. The smear is the only kind of argument most liberals know, so they press »
So long, Charlie
Jay Cost argues persuasively that, as an independent third-party candidate for the United States Senate, Charlie Crist is not a man in tune with the times. Just a few weeks ago Crist sat next to Marco Rubio on Fox New Sunday and uncomfortably declared his bona fides as a Republican candidate. Why he thinks that anyone would or should ever take him at face value again or trust another word »
The meaning of the "Roadside Strangler" case
Judge Robert Chatigny, President Obama's nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, has expressed regret over how he handled the case of Michael Ross, the "Roadside Strangler." I discussed Judge Chatigny's conduct in that case here. Yesterday, under tough questioning by Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chatigny testified that he was trying to do the right thing in connection with the issue of Ross' »
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Laura Bush has written a book, Spoken From The Heart. Last evening, a friend of ours wanted to ascertain the former First Lady's book tour schedule. When she typed in www.laurabush.com, she was automatically redirected to an Organizing for America website — barackobama.com. As I write this post, the same redirection is still occurring. This little scheme seems ugly even by the standards of Team Obama and its supporters. But »
Obama Seeks to Weaken Sanctions Against Iran
The Obama administration's lack of seriousness when it comes to Iran is on display once again. Congress is considering the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act, which will ramp up pressure on Iran by penalizing foreign companies that prop up Iran's economy by selling Iran gasoline or equipment to refine petroleum. But the Obama administration wants to add to the bill a provision that would render the act a »
Time for Steele to Go
Michael Steele strikes me as a nice guy who is out of his depth as head of the National Republican Committee. His most annoying habit is one that he shares, sort of, with President Obama–like Obama, Steele keeps confessing error and apologizing. But whereas, when Obama apologizes for America, he means those other Americans, Steele continually apologizes for his own Republican Party. He did it again yesterday, on CNN. Here »

2013 Projected Global Laboratory Products Budgets
Jan 14, 2013, 06:26 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
2013 Projected Global Laboratory Products Budgets
This survey of 170 laboratory managers and researchers investigates budgets for these product categories: instruments, equipment, chemicals, life science reagents and kits, glassware, plasticware, and general laboratory supplies over the 2011-2013 period. Budgets for service and repair of instruments and equipment also are presented. Additionally, respondents name the brands that are top-of-mind (unaided brand recognition) in each of the seven product categories. Finally, by-laboratory-type analyses are presented. The lab types examined are: academic, biopharmaceutical, industrial, patient care, and government.
Executive Summary
This study is based on a survey of researchers working in laboratories of various types worldwide. However, most respondents work in the United States. All professed at least some degree of familiarity with their lab's budget.
With the 'fiscal cliff' looming, the possibility that substantial portions of the U.S. federal budget will be trimmed in 2013, laboratories that depend on government money are anticipating sharply constrained budgets. Other labs may also be affected due to the negative impact that lower federal spending and higher taxes would have on the overall economy. Thus, instead of the once-typical growth of to percent, overall growth of just percent is anticipated for 2013, after percent growth in 2012.
Budget growth rates realized in 2012 and anticipated for 2013 differ substantially across laboratory and product type, as illustrated throughout the body of this research. Academic labs expect budget growth of percent, after a percent decline in 2012. All other lab types expect slower growth in 2013 than in 2012. However, because of the large share of academic labs in the sample, overall budget growth across all lab and product types is expected to increase slightly.
The average budget for lab products is $ in 2012, compared to $ in 2011. Details on the seven product categories and subcategories within those categories are provided in the body of the research.
Researchers indicate the product categories that their labs purchased or expect to purchase in the 2011-2013 period. Typically, they indicate the highest values in 2012, probably because of their greater familiarity with the current year. Chemicals and general lab supplies garner the highest values; life science reagents and kits the lowest. (Other categories covered are instruments, equipment, glassware, and plasticware).
For service and repair of instruments and equipment, manufacturer service contracts garner the highest revenue, even though in-house service departments and do-it-yourself service are also widely used. The latter appear to be much more cost-effective.

I have no idea what an Albertson's is (grocery store? Target like store?).
Kind of wierd them throwing an OT ship into the mix here. Remind me, but was the Tie Int one of the mini ships we got from Japan? Can't recall now, but I think it may have been...
I got that magazine in the mail today, and there is an ALTERNATE way to get the mini Jedi Starfighter.
I could get to an Albertsons in May, but I don't have one of their "Loyalty cards". Any idea if it costs to get one, then I can get the free LEGO set.

Rumor Alert: Could Shane Carwin vs. Cain Velasquez Be on Tap For UFC 103?
(Yep, that's the face you make when you realize that you're now famous enough to get laid without making any effort at all.)
No one is more eager to find out what awaits heavyweight contenders Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez than we are, but from the sound of things some people may be jumping the gun a bit regarding rumors that the two are headed for a clash at UFC 103. Inside Fights says sources have told them that Carwin and Velasquez could be the co-main event for the September event in Dallas, Texas, right alongside Mike Swick vs. Matt Hughes. And yeah, they clarify that the bout has not been agreed to, but Carwin says it hasn't even been discussed:Read More DIGG THIS
