The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed unlikely to allow police to routinely force suspected drunk drivers to give a blood sample without the officers at least trying to obtain a warrant from a judge.
Justices across the ideological spectrum seemed to recoil during oral arguments from what Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. described as the "pretty scary image of somebody restrained, and, you know, a representative of the state approaching them with a needle."
There seemed to be little, if any, support for the proposition that the usual constitutional protections that require a warrant for searches do not apply in drunk-driving arrests. Missouri, backed by the Obama administration, argued that a suspect's dissipating blood-alcohol content meant that, in effect, evidence was being lost and thus drawing blood should not require consent or a judge's order.
That argument drew fire almost immediately.
"How can it be reasonable to forgo the Fourth Amendment in a procedure as intrusive as a needle going into someone's body?" Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked. The justice, interestingly, is a diabetic who has given herself daily shots of insulin since childhood.
Justice Antonin Scalia immediately signaled that he considers a blood test different from other procedures the government may require.
"Why don't you force him to take the breathalyzer test, instead of forcing him to have a needle shoved . . . in his arm?" Scalia asked John N. Koester Jr., the Missouri prosecutor presenting the case for his state. Koester replied that a breathalyzer requires the suspect's participation.
For most of the hour-long argument, the justices seemed to be debating among themselves what emergency circumstances — an inability to contact a magistrate late at night, for instance — might allow taking blood from an uncooperative suspect.
The case comes from rural Cape Girardeau County, where in the early-morning hours of Oct. 3, 2010, Missouri State Highway Patrol Cpl. Mark Winder pulled over Tyler G. McNeely. McNeely, with slurred speech and alcohol on his breath, failed a field sobriety test and twice refused to take a breathalyzer test.
Winder arrested him and, on the way to jail, stopped by a hospital. After McNeely refused to submit to a blood test, Winder ordered a phlebotomist to draw blood anyway. Winder did not attempt to obtain a warrant because he said he thought Missouri law did not require it because of recent changes.
The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously disagreed and said the blood test could not be used.
Courts nationwide are divided about whether a 1966 Supreme Court ruling created an emergency exception to the warrant requirement for taking blood or whether "special facts" must be present to make a warrant unnecessary.
Koester and Assistant Solicitor General Nicole A. Saharsky argued that the rapid dissipation of alcohol was enough to relieve law enforcement from the warrant requirement.
"The police are facing a destruction of critical blood-alcohol evidence," Saharsky told the court. "Every minute counts, and it's reasonable for the officers to proceed."
But Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that it is relatively easy and quick for police to get a warrant — a phone call is often enough — and that police could attempt to secure one in the time it takes to drive a suspect to a hospital for the procedure. If 30 minutes passes without an answer, perhaps the officer could proceed, she suggested.
Steven R. Shapiro, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, represented McNeely and told the court that Missouri, the states supporting it and the U.S. government are asking for too much.
"The issue in this case is whether the state may stick a needle in the arm of everyone arrested on suspicion of drunk driving without a warrant and without consent," Shapiro said.
He has noted that states may revoke a driver's license for a suspect who refuses to take a test, so there is an incentive to agree. Shapiro said half of the states — Maryland and Virginia as well as the District of Columbia are not among them — prohibit blood draws without warrants.
Scalia wondered whether the "sound and fury" surrounding the case was merited. Obtaining a warrant probably would be just a technicality, he said.
"In all of these cases, it's going to be the same thing: His breath smelled of alcohol, he couldn't walk a straight line and whatnot," Scalia said, adding, "I don't see how the independent magistrate is going to do you a whole lot of good, except for the fact that it will delay the process."
Shapiro replied that although the need may be rare, the court has long recognized that the "privacy safeguards of the Fourth Amendment benefit by having a neutral and detached magistrate review the evidence before the state does something as intrusive as putting a needle in somebody's arm."
The court could rule in the case, Missouri v. McNeely, at any time before it recesses in June.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 18, No. 2 December 1991 Jayne Fuglister CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY and Robert Bloom JOHN CARROLL UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTING RECORDS OF QUAKERS OF WEST FALMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS (1796-1860): AN ANALYSIS Abstract: The village of West Falmouth, Massachusetts was settled in the 1660s by William Gifford and other Quakers who came there to avoid persecution. They lived relatively isolated from other settlers in the region. The accounting records of Prince Gifford, Jr. (1771-1853) and Prince Gifford Moore (1812-1885), descendants of William Gifford, are still in existence. This paper provides an analysis of these records, which reflect the simplicity, frugality, honesty, and equality of early West Falmouth Quakers. Littleton's antecedents of double-entry bookkeeping are applied to explain the use of the single-entry system of accounting by West Falmouth Quakers during the same period that Philadelphia Quakers were using the double-entry system. This study examines accounting records of early American Quakers in West Falmouth, Massachusetts and analyzes the records within the context of the environmental conditions pre-vailing at the time the records were prepared. West Falmouth Quakers were semi-isolated compared to the Pennsylvania Quak-ers;1 and, accordingly, the records of the West Falmouth Quakers are considered likely to reflect the religious customs of Quakers in Colonial America. Additionally, West Falmouth Quaker account- The authors are grateful for the assistance of Cecelia Lucinda Bowerman, and Harriet Quimby and Hannah Fitts of the Falmouth Historical Society for providing the records analyzed in this paper. Additionally, the authors thank two anonymous referees and Joe McKeon and Marilynn Collins for comments on this paper. 1Evidence that West Falmouth was settled mostly by Quakers, who were thus semi-isolated, is provided in Deyo [1890]: "In 1678 lands were laid out at Oyster pond; also at Hog Island and great Sipperwisset where the early settlers were William Gifford, Senior; Wil-

Dr. Miguel Nicolelis speaks with students as part of the STEM Summit.
The STEM Institute has been supported by many generous donors. The majority of current funding is provided by a three-year grant from the W.W. Caruth Jr. Foundation of Communities Foundation of Texas. Additional donors include Beth Bass, Citi Foundation, a congressional appropriation sponsored by Eddie Bernice Johnson, Fluor Foundation, Frontiers of Flight Museum, Greater Texas Foundation, Hillcrest Foundation, Hunt Consolidated, Hunter and Stephanie Hunt, Intel Foundation, Margaret McDermott, Erle Nye, Sammons Enterprises Inc. and Texas Instruments Foundation.
Funding covers tuition, books, and fees for more than 100 STEM scholars a year, stipends for faculty fellows, staff support and programming. More than $2.6 million has been received since the program was initiated in 2009.
All seven colleges of DCCCD participate in the STEM Institute:
Brookhaven • Cedar Valley • Eastfield • El Centro • Mountain View • North Lake • Richland
The STEM Institute was established in 2009 to provide a transformative experience for scholars as they pursue their educations within the colleges of DCCCD, in preparation for university transfer and to fill a critical workforce need for prepared professionals in STEM fields.
The target population is bright, STEM-oriented students from all seven colleges of DCCCD who have successfully completed at least one semester of college and who plan to transfer to a university in a nonclinical STEM field. The goal is to provide an engaging, supportive environment for scholars, motivating them to complete degrees and pursue STEM careers.
Funding was provided by a Texas Workforce Commission Skills Development Fund grant with an emphasis in construction, given the company's product line.
Fabien Cousteau answers questions for students.
The STEM Institute has served more than 600 students since its inception. Scholars and faculty mentors from all seven colleges of DCCCD are selected through a competitive application process to be part of the rigorous program. The program provides full tuition and books, focused career guidance, help with the university transfer process, internship placement and personal mentoring by top faculty in STEM fields within the colleges of DCCCD.
Additional components include professional skill workshops on topics from business etiquette to networking, with the opportunity to meet STEM professionals from both industry and academia. The annual STEM summit every April has featured keynote speakers such as astronaut Dr. Mary Ellen Weber; famed ocean explorer Fabien Cousteau; internationally renowned neuroscientist Dr. Miguel Nicolelis; and Skylar Tibbits, director of the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT.
Historically, many students decide to leave STEM fields during the first two years of college. To reduce attrition, the STEM Institute provides academic, mentoring and professional support. Financial assistance allows students to lessen work obligations that compete with study time.
A key element in program success is the group of dedicated STEM faculty fellows who mentor students one-on-one. Another strategy is putting students in direct contact with successful professionals in a variety of work environments. The STEM Institute and supporting organizations collaborate to gather feedback, with formative evaluation guiding future programming. Supporting organizations also provide internships, speakers and scholarship funding.
More than 90% of scholars have earned degrees, have transferred to a university or are still studying at the colleges of DCCCD. Universities are now participating in a transfer workshop focused specifically on STEM pathways. A Web page has been developed for STEM scholars with additional information on internships and research experiences, and social networking skills and industry visits have been added to professional skill development programming. DCCCD is transitioning to programmatic support for the STEM Institute, allowing funding from outside supporters to focus on student scholarships.
Scholarship support has been increased to allow students to focus more on their studies and less on jobs unrelated to their work, and faculty mentors have received additional training to maximize their skills. A key overall lesson is that the retention is most effective when all components are integrated — mentoring, financial support and professional skill programming.
" The greatest driver of economic development in our community is the quality and education of our workforce. With over 700,000 jobs in STEM industries forecasted for Texas by 2018, these STEM scholars hold the key to future success of our region. "
" I've come to understand how much the young people selected for the STEM program can accomplish, and how much they carry forward from their scholarships. It's such a wonderful opportunity to help students with so much potential reach that potential. "
STEM careers include:

OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — As Dierbergs Markets opens its doors next week, two national retailers new to the development will be getting their construction plans underway.
Dierbergs confirmed today that DICK'S Sporting Goods and Bed Bath & Beyond will open in the Dierbergs Lakeview Pointe Shopping Center within 11 months.
Dierbergs' new store in the center, 4655 Osage Beach Parkway, is set to open its doors at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
DICK'S Sporting Goods, a full-line sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear company, plans to open its 34,000-square-foot store in November.
The housewares giant Bed Bath & Beyond, known for excellent customer service, everyday low prices and an extensive breadth and depth of product assortment, will open a 20,000-square-foot store in March 2014.
Two tenants attached to the supermarket, Eyes on Missouri (an optical store) and Great Clips Salon, are scheduled to open in May. The UPS Store and JJ Twigs Pizza both occupy space within the supermarket and will open for business when Dierbergs cuts its ribbon Wednesday. Dierbergs is still in discussions with a variety of national and local businesses interested in the center's remaining retail space.
Tracing its roots to a country store founded in Creve Coeur, Mo., in 1854, Dierbergs Markets is a fourth-generation, family-owned chain of 24 supermarkets with more than 4,000 Associates. The company's 25th store opens April 24 in Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks; it is Dierbergs' first store outside the metropolitan St. Louis market.

People like banning things — books and films have been dealing with this issue for quite a long time, and the banning of games is no different. We watch the decisions of approval and censorship boards, waiting to see what will slip past, what will receive a de facto ban, and what will be banned outright. Vancouver Game Design wonders if this doesn't have to do with a fundamental misunderstanding of how the player-game interaction functions:
What if the experience that games have become can be better equated to the feeling of being at the dance performance. It is the act of being somewhere, of being involved, of feeling. Does your son, your brother, your husband, enjoy shooting people in Counter-Strike? Do they enjoy running over pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto? Of course not. What they are enjoying is the feeling of the act, of the responses they get, the feedback. They enjoy exploring the idea and the act. When you shoot a man in a videogame you are not the shooter in the videogame, you are yourself pretending to be the shooter. You are playing cops and robbers. The main argument for videogames not being seen as art is that they do not inherently communicate a meaning. The sole reason for this is because that is what entertainment does; it is the dance performance in front of you that you can choose to interpret however you want. But videogames are not entertainment, not by this standard. They are something more innate, more primal and deep. We need to have that escape, that outlet - 'play' is our safe place to experiment. The player can take as much as they would like out of the experience, dig as deep as they want, but there isn't always an inherent message.
"Is it healthy for any culture to ban something that would explore their taboos in a safe environment?" the article asks. Well, no, but there's a very long history of it — I can't imagine that banning potentially unsavory materials will ever go away. Still, this exploration of how people can and do relate to their gaming experiences is an interesting essay and worth a read.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., wants Republicans to condemn Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy for making racist remarks first quoted by the New York Times.
"Today, Bundy revealed himself to be a hateful racist. But by denigrating people who work hard and play by the rules while he mooches off public land he also revealed himself to be a hypocrite," Reid said in a statement Thursday.
Bundy's comments began with the remark: "I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro."
"They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I've often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy?" Bundy said, according to the New York Times report . "They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom."
For his part, Reid has repeatedly called the Bundy supporters at the ranch "domestic terrorists," standing by that term during a joint TV appearance with fellow Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev.
Heller had called the same supporters "patriots." However, his spokeswoman Chander Smith told the Times that Heller "completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy's appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way."
In his statement Thursday, Reid said the rule of law should trump any political disagreements over the grazing fees.
"To advance his extreme, hateful views, Bundy has endangered the lives of innocent women and children. This is not a game. It is the height of irresponsibility for any individual or entity in a position of power or influence to glorify or romanticize such a dangerous individual, and anyone who has done so should come to their senses and immediately condemn Bundy," said Reid. "For their part, national Republican leaders could help show a united front against this kind of hateful, dangerous extremism by publicly condemning Bundy."
Here is the video of Bundy's remarks posted by liberal group Media Matters:

Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, and Pre-Veterinary Medicine
The university's Pre-medical Committee advises students in preparing for admission to medical, dental, and veterinary schools, and in providing student evaluations requested by most professional schools. In addition, the committee provides information and evaluations for certain other health professions such as optometry, podiatry, chiropractic medicine, osteopathic medicine, and physicians' assistant programs.
Students interested in medical careers register with this committee early in their academic studies at the university. This enables committee members to advise students of courses that enhance opportunities for admission into a professional school. The keen competition for admission to a professional school dictates that applicants achieve a high undergraduate academic average. Should pre-med students fail to achieve these standards, they are advised of other program and possible career options. Medical, dental and veterinary schools generally do not require a specific undergraduate major. However, a strong background in biology, chemistry, and physics is advisable since the course of study in the professional school is a science curriculum.
Virtually all professional schools require the following undergraduate courses:
- a minimum of 8 credits in biology
- a minimum of 16 credits in chemistry (8 credits in general chemistry and 8 credits in organic chemistry)
- a minimum of 8 credits in physics
Additional courses in biology (e.g., comparative anatomy), chemistry (biochemistry, physical chemistry,) and mathematics through Calculus II are highly recommended. Since the professional schools also are seeking students with well-rounded academic backgrounds, study in the humanities and social sciences is highly recommended.
In the spring or second semester of their junior year, students should apply to be evaluated by the Pre-medical Committee. As a part of this evaluation students must submit a written statement explaining their background and professional goals, which might aid the committee in making an evaluation. Students are interviewed by the committee during the latter part of the spring semester. The committee then makes its evaluation and recommendation, and forwards it to those schools to which the student intends to apply.
Interested students should contact the secretary in the Chemistry Department for further information.

At the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2008, Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft, gave a keynote that covered a range of topics from the partner ecosystem that the company is so grateful for (and will be investing another $600 million year over year) to what the plan is for the next fiscal year (a bigger push on Software as a Service). Turner talked about almost every major area that Microsoft has invested in, and then uttered something that was PR speak gone too far. He began to talk about Vista's security, and he said something that I simply don't agree with (emphasis mine):
We've talked a lot about compatibility, we don't need to talk as much about compatibility anymore, we need to talk about the fact that, look, what Vista is, its the most secure product in the history of operating systems on a desktop. It is more secure today than Apple Leopard, or XP, or Linux, or open source. We built this product to engineer in security on the front end, not as a service pack. As a result of that, we tightened down things like user account controls. Yes, it required a lot of compatibility upgrades and fixes, but you know what, it's important that you understand the progress, and you're able to articulate that, and fewer patching is what all customers want, and there's a cost savings there. Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 delivers that.
Now, Turner has some data to back this claim up, but he's only looking at it from one perspective. Yes, Vista does have fewer vulnerabilities than XP, and it does not surprise me that Mac OS X and Linux have more than either. However, security should not simply be measured in the number of vulnerabilities found in a given piece of software. There are more people looking over Linux code day in and day out when compared to Microsoft, and there is often fame and money to be won for finding vulnerabilities in Mac OS X.
Exploited vulnerabilities are something that needs a little bit more emphasis, and so do infection numbers. Vista's infection numbers are lower than XP's, but this is due to two main factors: it's a more secure OS and it also has a smaller market share, making it a smaller target. Vista's infection rates are obviously higher than those of Mac OS X or Linux, and that's what security is about.
Microsoft may not have control over the fact that its operating systems are the most targeted, so it can't exactly change anything there, but if you are going to tout that you've improved security in your product, compare it to the predecessor, or explicitly state that you're talking about vulnerability numbers. Hopefully this will be taken into consideration in the upcoming Vista ads.

Gothenburg, Sweden 22 September 2014: SKF continues to increase its capabilities to provide customized solutions for the rail industry. With the acquisition of the Lincoln brand in 2010, SKF now offers a complete portfolio of products for wear and noise reduction applications.
SKF's comprehensive product spectrum includes wheel flange lubrication systems to reduce wheel wear and wayside lubrication systems to reduce wear on the gauge face. Suitable for railroad, metro and tramway applications, both systems minimize rail wear and noise emission, including curve squealing.
Because the main components of both systems, such as pumps, metering devices and applicators, are produced by SKF, complete, custom-tailored solutions can be implemented. In addition, the combined knowledge and experience associated with the two brands has enabled the development of additional product innovations, as well as enhancements to existing products.
Due to the large number of variables present in a total system approach, an in-depth analysis of customer conditions is necessary to ensure optimum results. Initially, the current annual cost of replacing and re-working rails and wheels should be determined. Though it is difficult to weigh the economic value associated with noise reduction, comparison calculations can be performed to evaluate various technologies used to reduce noise and comply with regulations. Upon completion of the survey, potential cost savings are determined, as well as the required investment and maintenance costs for the lubrication system. This enables the customer to make an informed decision.
Wheel flange lubrication systems
Depending on the line distance between the pump and spray nozzle near the wheel, there are various types of wheel flange lubrication systems. These systems range from a grease reservoir that is pressurized with compressed air to systems with pneumatic piston pumps and separate grease containers. In cases where using on-board compressed air is not feasible, there also are airless systems that can apply grease or metallic paste directly on the wheel or rail.
Wayside lubrication systems
Wayside systems include gauge face lubrication and top-of-rail conditioning systems. In tramway applications, the lubricant usually is delivered via drilled lubrication holes, whereas railways require applicators to be mounted on the rail, as drilling is not an option. Depending on the calculated lubricant consumption, drum, reservoir and cartridge pump stations can be selected. All SKF pumps options can produce up to 350 bar (5,076 psi), allowing long tube lines between the pump and application point.
Visitors to InnoTrans fair in Berlin, September 23 -26, will find SKF in Hall 22a, booth 606.

Tesla Coin
For anyone interested in Cryptocoin and the potential of Tesla Coin, it's value increased 600% since mid December. That's from less than a penny per coin to around 5 cents or so.
That is the only realiable exchange that has the coin now.
Check out the ALL chart! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/teslacoin/
It's been higher than that in the past and all coins have their swings like everything else but the entire crypto world is growing fast - the collective market cap of crypto is around 750 Billion USD right now and it may hit a trillion by this Fall - that is how fast it is growing.
I think Tesla Coin could easily go to 25-30 cents by the end of 2018, which is another 500-600% gain. Long term, if picked up by a few more exchanges, the popularity of the name alone would bring its value up quite a bit higher than that.
This of course is not investment advice - it is just my opinion.

TESLACOIN (TES) Like A Bolt Of Lightning Secures Listing At UpCoin!
Whilst investors cope to navigate through all the ICO hype and speculation there are a few hidden gems that have been laying silent for many years. TeslaCoin (TES) is no exception, and after months of development work, the team are giving their all to deliver positive advancements and news.
TeslaCoin recently recruited Tantrwm, a UK branding specialist who will assist with positioning TES in the global crypto currency space.
Andrew Chainey, Director at Tantrwm said our team are excited, committed and ready to help take TES to the next stage. Our experience of creating Fintech promotional material for UK institutions will benefit TES and help them achieve their ambitions.
In addition, the developers have created a clear plan of action over the coming few months. This will cumulate with the release of the much awaited TeslaStarter platform later in 2018. TeslaCoin is a unique POS (Proof of Stake) decentralised digital currency offering 7% interest on staked coins.
Developers of TES recently technically completed a hardfork to 100million coins, as well as with the compulsory V4.0 wallet upgrade. Now the developers can proceed to place energy and investment into delivering the technology to the world. Much is happening behind the scenes but for the moment increasing awareness is the key!
Today, the team are excited to announce their new listing at UpCoin.
This clearly places TES to a larger investor audience and increased liquidity. UpCoin recently launched its exchange and solved many problems traders were facing daily. Speed, Security, Interface and customer support. With the ability to process up to 2.4 million orders per second, they are prepared to be the number one exchange in the crypto space.
UpCoin Head of Communications, Viktor said We welcome TeslaCoin at the UPcoin exchange and would like to officially announce the listing of TeslaCoin across all available markets. UPcoin is a crypto-to-crypto exchange, with plans to support fiat as we grow and develop.
This is a great day for TeslaCoin. Years of patience and hard work will now allow us to focus on delivering our promises to the market Matt Reynolds, Development Exec of TeslaCoin said.
Reynolds went on to say Teslacoin being listed by UpCoin exchange increases both our reach and our trading security. This comes at a time when we begin reaching out globally. To establish TeslaCoin as one way to fund innovation in the energy sector via its platform TeslaStarter. The future is bright for TESLACOIN, the TIME IS NOW.
Teslastarter aims to facilitate the process of invention and innovation in the energy sector, benefitting both people and the planet. Current fossil fuel energy creation methods are outdated. TES works to support the production of limitless clean energy through partnerships with innovators.
Teslacoin To Host Keynote Session Sustainatopia Moscow 2018
Teslacoin To Host Keynote Session Sustainatopia Moscow 2018
Ensuring technological solutions are presented to the right audience is crucial when building a solid foundation. Especially those which have the potential for incredible impact at a community level. Teslacoin developers have nurtured their creation for over four years and concluded that now is the time!
In conjunction with Osijek based True Tesla Technologies, Teslacoin will present their vision during a key note speech at Sustainatopia. Founded in 2009, Sustainatopia remains one of the leading events in the world for social, financial, environmental sustainability and impact. Attendees have participated from more than 60 countries.
Consisting of both a mega-conference and a broad-ranging Festival, Sustainatopia brings together the global ecosystem of social, financial and environmental sustainability and impact like no other singular event. This years event will be hosted in Moscow between 17th and 21st July 2018. With more than 2,500 speakers since inception and a record attendance, Moscow will be the biggest global event ever.
As well, special celebrations will be held in addition to this major world gathering of global impact and sustainability leaders. John Rosser, Sustainatopia founder said We are excited to host True Tesla Technologies and Teslacoin as a major partner for Sustainatopia (Moscow) Global. Their mission is perfectly aligned with the mission of Sustainatopia.
We look forward to hosting an outstanding Keynote session and other activities with True Tesla Technologies on July 19th and 20th.
True Tesla Technologies recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Teslacoin, to cooperate and support each others endeavours and mission. Attending the conference on behalf of both organisations will be True Tesla Technologies Co-Founder, Deane Thomas.
Being no stranger to Moscow, he commented It is an honour to be sharing a vision of great minds in Moscow. Sharing our technologies with global impact leaders is an important part of the journey
Sustainatopia allows us to effectively network with like-minded industry leaders at an event that is focused on solutions. We also have the opportunity of speaking with potential investors and partners, about the true potential of Teslacoin. Deane closed by saying Delivering the message in a media focused world is difficult. An opportunity to speak with hundreds of willing participants is where new realities are created and can be implemented immediately.
The development team at Teslacoin are ecstatic to be represented at this ground breaking event. Teslacoin recently sponsored the Energy Science and Technology Conference (ETSC), participating at Sustainatopia further aligns with their strategy.
Now is the perfect moment to succeed. Gathering innovators, networkers, funders, and manufacturers to ensure a sustainable future for our beautiful planet and people. Matt Reynolds, Development Executive of Teslacoin said.
He further went on to say Assembling the right hearts and minds to work out solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our time is paramount. As part of our commitment to this aim, we have pledged our support through agreements with True Tesla Technologies and ESTC, Reynolds concluded.
Teslacoin is a digital currency pushing towards a decentralised and sustainable world supporting Free Energy and Renewable Energy projects.
I would
I would like to find a way to get funding to aid
in the cost of the Tesla house construction and completion.
Aaron do you have an idea?
Good luck - if I had a simple answer, I'd fund Eric Dollard's lab.
You can try the crowd funding sites, I've had luck there, but those donating are donating to people with proven track records. For private investors, you have to have a comprehensive plan speaking money language with an exit strategy or they won't give you any time. There's a whole art and science to just that.

An Arizona lawmaker's idea to deploy a state-run civilian force on the U.S.-Mexico border could set the stage for a dramatic showdown with the federal government if the Legislature and the governor follow through on it.
Sen. Jack Harper, a Republican from Surprise, said he plans to introduce legislation next year that would create a government-sanctioned militia that would be allowed to patrol the border to observe illegal activity and report it to enforcement authorities.
Under Harper's plan, the civilian force would be under the supervision of the Arizona National Guard. Its members would be allowed to carry weapons for self defense. Volunteers would need a fingerprint clearance card or undergo a background check to qualify.
"We can't afford to have illegal aliens continue to sneak into our state and staying and bringing their children so we get stuck with their educational costs. We can't afford to continue to provide for them in our hospitals and incarcerate them when they get caught," Harper said. "We just need to stop them at the border."
The proposal is yet another example of Arizona's attempt to take matters into its own hands, which arose from a widely shared belief among the state's residents and lawmakers that the federal government has failed in its job to secure the border. But the idea of deploying a state-sponsored militia on the U.S.-Mexico border raises red flags for some legal scholars.
Paul Bender, a professor of constitutional law at Arizona State University, said a civilian militia would not be allowed to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border because that authority is reserved for the federal government. Any direct action by the state or a militia to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border may violate the U.S. Constitution, he said.
"If Senator Harper really wants to do this, then he ought to propose asking the federal government for its cooperation and authorization in doing this and see what happens," he said. "To just go off on your own and say we are going to guard the border — I don't think states can do that."
An armed civilian force opens Arizona to civil liability, said Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat from Phoenix.
"What happens if they apprehend individuals on the border, for which they have no federal authority to apprehend? Then is the state subject to civil lawsuits because of that? I don't know, but my guess is probably yes," she said.
Supporters of the idea argued that the federal government has abdicated its duties by failing to protect Arizona from "foreign invasion."
"Arizona paid taxes to the federal government for them to provide this security, and yet they won't secure our state. We are being invaded, and they won't do anything about it," said Sen. Ron Gould, a Lake Havasu City Republican.
But Doris Meissner, a former commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and now a senior fellow with the Migration Policy Institute, said the federal government has been ramping up security along Arizona's stretch of the border, which shows that the feds are indeed taking responsibility.
"The whole focus of the federal government's effort on the Southwest border is in Arizona," she said. "I think that there are more federal resources in Arizona at this point than at any other place along the Southwest border."
Harper said he would leave it to the governor to decide under what conditions and where to deploy what he is calling a "homeland security force." But he wants volunteers to begin training immediately, if and when the measure passes and becomes law.
Harper suggested that the deployment of the civilian security force should be triggered if the number of National Guard troops that the federal government has called up to work on the border begins to decrease. Right now there are more than 500 National Guard troops stationed along the Arizona border to assist federal agents.
The proposal to create a civilian security force is only one part of Harper's border plan. He is also considering an expanded role for the Arizona National Guard along the border. Instead of providing support to U.S. Border Patrol agents, Harper wants the National Guard troops to enforce immigration law themselves by engaging potential violators.
In Harper's grand plan, the National Guard would train the civilian militia, the Air National Guard would train the Civil Air Patrol, and the entire effort would be paid for by the state.
Harper said he would introduce those components if the federal government fails to meet its obligations along the border.
"If the National Guard did begin to draw down, then I would advocate state funding for the National Guard and Homeland Security Force to deploy to the border," Harper said.
Erwin Chemerinsky, the founding dean of the University of California, Irvine, School of Law, said it would be risky for Arizona to take any enforcement action along the border that may be interpreted as an encroachment on federal territory.
"Such an attempt by Arizona to enforce the border would surely be deemed pre-empted by federal law," Chemerinsky said. "That is, and always has been, the sole responsibility of the federal government. There would be significant foreign policy consequences, and states can't make foreign policy."
Harper's proposal is not new. Three years ago, he authored a similar measure that was passed by the Legislature. But then-Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed SB1132, saying it was unnecessary because the governor already has authority to call on a volunteer militia to supplement the National Guard in times of emergency.
The political situation today is drastically different than when Napolitano was governor.
Next year, Republicans will have supermajority control of the Legislature, and many of them were elected partly because of their support for a strict enforcement approach to confronting illegal immigration. And Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, is now on the Ninth Floor.
It's doesn't help that the public's opinion of the federal government is very low in Arizona, which has challenged the feds multiple times during the past year over states' rights issues. Arizona is a party to a legal challenge to the federal health care law. The federal government, meanwhile, has gone to court to stop Arizona's SB1070, which requires law enforcers to inquire of people's immigration status if there were suspicions they are here illegally. Key provisions of that law are under an injunction.
The timing could be better for Harper's proposal as he still faces many hurdles. The biggest challenge is coming up with the money to cover the costs of equipping and maintaining such a militia.
Earlier this year, legislative budget staff estimated it would cost $10 million to deploy 85 National Guard troops for one year. A deployment of 3,000 guardsmen to the border would likely cost Arizona more than $350 million if the state paid for it.
Although those estimates were for National Guard troops, they may also serve as an indication of what it would cost the state to pay for additional armed troops along the border.
And even if Harper's colleagues are agreeable to sending a state-paid civilian force to the border, they might balk at any action that entails additional spending at a time when the state is facing billions of dollars in budget deficit and core services are being cut.
Without responding specifically to Harper's idea, gubernatorial spokeswoman Kim Sabow said the governor is leery about committing Arizona to cover the costs of additional border security.
"The governor has previously stated very strongly that the expense of deploying the National Guard is a federal responsibility, and that we must continue our efforts to hold the federal government accountable for protecting our citizens from border violence," Sabow said.
Arizona Border Patrol by the numbers
National Guard deployment along the U.S.-Mexico border: 559 in Arizona; 284 in Texas; 260 in California; 82 in New Mexico
Estimated cost of National Guard deployment for a year: $135 million, which will be shared by U.S.
Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Defense Border Patrol troops along the Southwest border: 17,500

Hello! Shawna here from TheGrandStampede. I would like to welcome you for those of you who came from my blog to see what the sneak peek was all about. This card a very modern twist on a very traditional element, the flower. However I'll let you decide, here is my inspiration card for today, enjoy.
|The flowers were entered into a computer editing software; then by changing the flowers hue I could play with color. Each flower has its own color and a complimentary color for their square background.
|MHKDesigns vintage images work so well with each other.
I invite you to check out her Etsy store and see for yourself
the versatility of stamp sets and variety of digital papers she has to offer.
|I didn't want a traditional sentiment to distract from the design so
by die cutting the word 'hi' it makes a sentiment and a design element.
|This is such a cool technique! You can see the sentiment but you may have to look awhile.
building up the die cut word adds interest and well... It is just cool!!
All the best,

In April 2010, Apple's iPad debuted. Depending on the exact model you purchased, it set you back around $500.
In March 2011, the iPad 2 was announced. Within hours, I saw people posting their nearly-new iPads on Craigslist and eBay. With all the competition out there, the prices dipped as low as $100 a pop.
I know one of the people who sold his first generation iPad during that rush. The iPad he sold was in extremely good shape, as he kept it in a case the entire time he used it.
Simply by waiting 11 months or so, a person could have saved 75% of the sticker price on an iPad.
Most of the time, waiting several months on buying a new product, particularly a tech product, will save you a significant portion of the list price.
I've witnessed the same thing with computer games, where a new game will come out in April and cost $59, but then be available on sale for $10 that December.
I've witnessed it with televisions, with DVD players, and with countless other pieces of technology.
I've particularly witnessed it with cell phones, where a cutting edge phone drops in price as much as 80% within a year. It still does everything it did a year earlier, of course, but the price is drastically cheaper.
Of course, there's one other big reason to not be an early adopter besides the price: you don't have to worry about the technical hiccups.
Whenever a new piece of software debuts, it almost always has some significant bugs under the hood. I've seen operating systems completely crash or fail to update on the day of release. I've seen video games be almost nonfunctional at first until a bug fix is released. I've seen DVD players with firmware that makes it impossible to watch many types of discs, which is of course fixed but only a few months after release.
If you wait, you not only get the full features of the item that you would have got on the release date, you get them at a lower price and without all of the early release bugs and problems.
Even better, you give yourself plenty of time to evaluate the product and figure out if you actually want it. The hype machine can often convince people that they want a product, only to leave them realizing later that they barely use it. Waiting gives you the time to get past the hype and figure out if the item is actually useful for you.
Don't be an early adopter. It costs you money and time in a lot of different ways.

Study compares effect of three common diets on energy expenditure following weight loss
In an examination of the effect on energy expenditure and components of the metabolic syndrome of 3 types of commonly consumed diets following weight loss, decreases in resting energy expenditure and total energy expenditure were greatest with a low-fat diet, intermediate with a low-glycemic index diet, and least with a very low-carbohydrate diet, suggesting that a low-fat diet may increase the risk for weight regain compared to the other diets, according to preliminary research published in the June 27 issue of JAMA.
"Many people can lose weight for a few months, but most have difficulty maintaining clinically significant weight loss over the long term. According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2006), only 1 in 6 overweight and obese adults report ever having maintained weight loss of at least 10 percent for 1 year," according to background information in the article. One explanation for the poor long-term outcome is that weight loss elicits biological adaptationsspecifically a decline in energy expenditure and an increase in hungerthat promote weight. According to the authors, the effect of dietary composition on energy expenditure during weight-loss maintenance has not been studied.
Cara B. Ebbeling, Ph.D., of Children's Hospital Boston, and colleagues conducted a study to evaluate the effects of 3 weight-loss maintenance diets on energy expenditure, hormones, and components of the metabolic syndrome. The study, conducted between June 2006 and June 2010, included 21 overweight and obese young adults. After achieving 10 percent to 15 percent weight loss while consuming a run-in diet, participants consumed an isocaloric low-fat diet (60 percent of energy from carbohydrate, 20 percent from fat, 20 percent from protein; high glycemic load), low-glycemic index diet (40 percent from carbohydrate, 40 percent from fat, and 20 percent from protein; moderate glycemic load), and very low-carbohydrate diet (10 percent from carbohydrate, 60 percent from fat, and 30 percent from protein; low glycemic load) in random order, each for 4 weeks. The primary outcome measured was resting energy expenditure (REE), with secondary outcomes of total energy expenditure (TEE), hormone levels, and metabolic syndrome components.
The researchers found that energy expenditure during weight-loss maintenance differed significantly among the 3 diets. The decrease in REE from pre-weight-loss levels, measured by indirect calorimetry in the fasting state, was greatest for the low-fat diet (average relative to baseline, -205 kcal/d), intermediate with the low-glycemic index diet (-166 kcal/d), and least for the very low-carbohydrate diet (-138 kcal/d). The decrease in TEE also differed significantly by diet (average -423 kcal/d for low fat; -297 kcal/d for low glycemic index; and -97 kcal/d for very low carbohydrate).
"Hormone levels and metabolic syndrome components also varied during weight maintenance by diet (leptin; 24-hour urinary cortisol; indexes of peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity; high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol; non-HDL cholesterol; triglycerides; plasminogen activator inhibitor 1; and C-reactive protein), but no consistent favorable pattern emerged," the authors write.
"The results of our study challenge the notion that a calorie is a calorie from a metabolic perspective," the researchers write. "TEE differed by approximately 300 kcal/d between these 2 diets [very low-carbohydrate vs. low-fat], an effect corresponding with the amount of energy typically expended in 1 hour of moderate-intensity physical activity."
"These findings suggest that a strategy to reduce glycemic load rather than dietary fat may be advantageous for weight-loss maintenance and cardiovascular disease prevention. Ultimately, successful weight-loss maintenance will require behavioral and environmental interventions to facilitate long-term dietary adherence. But such interventions will be most effective if they promote a dietary pattern that ameliorates the adverse biological changes accompanying weight loss," the researchers conclude.

Colorado-West opens 24/7 help line for area mental health crises
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado – Colorado West Regional Mental Health Center announced Wednesday that it has launched a centralized, round-the-clock toll-free help line for people dealing with a mental health crisis.
A toll-free call to 1-888-207-4004 will put callers in direct touch with a trained clinician who will listen, assist, evaluate and connect them to the right services in order to avert or manage a mental health crisis.
The emergency services number is staffed by trained mental health clinicians 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without exception.
Colorado West serves a 10-county area on the Western Slope, including Eagle, Garfield, Grand, Jackson, Mesa, Moffat, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Routt and Summit counties.
The help line was launched just a day after Gov. John Hickenlooper announced a five-point, $18 million plan to redesign and strengthen Colorado's mental health services and support system.
Tish Starbuck, vice president of Colorado West, said the timing of the two announcements wasn't planned.
"It just landed together," Starbuck said. "It shows we are all in alignment with what the governor is thinking and what needs to be done."
Starbuck said Colorado West has for years offered 24-hour crisis lines in all 10 Western Slope counties that it serves.
"What is new is rather than these calls going to separate numbers in each county, they'll be coming to a central crisis center in Grand Junction," she said.
The trained crisis workers will screen the call and assess the situation, she said. If they determine the person on the line is an imminent threat, or if the caller is in imminent danger from someone they are calling about, the local crisis worker will be paged to go out and handle the situation, in coordination with local police.
"It's a more systematic approach that supports our crisis workers in the field," Starbuck said. When a local crisis worker gets the call, they know it's a real crisis, rather than a situation that can be defused over the telephone.
Colorado West has been actively providing emergency mental health services for more than 40 years.
From July 2011 through June 2012, Colorado West staff responded to nearly 7,000 crisis incidents in its 10-county service area, including 4,000 in Mesa County.
Colorado West is a nonprofit organization that offers mental health, behavioral change and substance abuse services from 13 outpatient offices throughout the Western Slope and at a psychiatric hospital in Grand Junction.
The organization's mission is to help people of all ages live happy and healthy lives.

Here's a 1967 spaghetti western with Lee Van Cleef and John Phillip Law. Bill Meceita, a boy whose family was murdered in front of him by a gang, sets out 15 years later to exact revenge. On his journey, he finds himself continually sparring and occasionally cooperating with Ryan, a gunfighter on his own quest for vengeance, who knows more than he says about Bill's tragedy.
The main theme of Death Rides a Horse is used in Kill Bill.

In December of 2000, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a voluntary agreement with manufacturers to remove and phase out certain uses of the organophosphate pesticide diazinon. (Organophosphates are a group of chemicals derived from nerve gas agents developed during World War II.) This action was taken to address The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), enacted in 1996, which sets a more stringent safety standard for most pesticides and offers special protection for children. The FQPA requires the review of more than 9,000 pesticide tolerances by 2006. This new assessment is based on a scientific review that determined diazinon poses risks to humans, birds, and other forms of wildlife. This phase out and removal of some uses of diazinon adds a greater measure of protection for children by eliminating the most important sources of their exposure.
Under the agreement between EPA and the manufacturers, all indoor uses of diazinon will be canceled, and all outdoor residential uses will be phased over the next few years. These actions will end about 75 percent of the current use of diazinon. EPA and the registrants have further agreed to remove about one third of the agricultural crop uses of diazinon. This will help mitigate risks to workers, birds and other wildlife, drinking water resources, and the environment.
About 75 percent of diazinon currently is used in and around the home. It accounts for about 30 percent of the homeowner use insecticide market. Most of this is allocated to outdoor residential uses (39 percent), lawn care operators (19 percent), and pest control operators (11 percent). Home lawn care use accounts for most residential use, but less risk than the indoor use. California, Texas and Florida use the most.
The agreement will result in the termination of all retail sales of diazinon for all indoor uses by the end of 2002. It also ends sales of the residential lawn care use of diazinon in 2003. Production, formulation, and sales to retailers are scheduled to phase out and end completely during 2003.
EPA took this action primarily because of the risk to children to exposure in the home. Potential routes of exposure for children include inhalation of vapors and airborne particles and skin contact. Diazinon is one of the leading causes of acute insecticide poisoning for humans (and wildlife). The majority of human incidents occur in the home.
Symptoms of acute diazinon poisoning in humans include headache, nausea, dizziness, excessive salivation, tearing, blurry vision, slow heartbeat, muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and respiratory depression. Diazinon exposure also causes abnormal eye movements, damage to skeletal muscles, and inflammation of the pancreas. Research with humans and human cells has shown that diazinon can cause genetic damage (mutagenic).
Broadcast application of diazinon to turf poses one of the greatest pesticide risks to birds. Just one granule or seed treated with diazinon is enough to kill a small bird. Diazinon had the highest number of reported bird kill incidents of any registered pesticide from 1994 to 1998. Birds of many species have been killed, including ducks, geese, hawks, songbirds, woodpeckers, and others. Residential use of diazinon accounted for over half of these incidents. Diazinon is also very highly toxic to freshwater fish and invertebrates following acute exposure. Diazinon is highly toxic to bees, as well as beneficial predatory and parasitic insects and mites.
Diazinon is one of the most common pesticides in air, rain, and fog. It is commonly detected in surface waters in urban areas as a result of runoff from residential use. Cancellation of all outdoor residential uses of diazinon is expected to reduce human exposure to diazinon through drinking water, since residential applications are potentially a major source of drinking water contamination.
Stopping the use of diazinon should be easy since there are so many alternatives. This does not mean simply switching to a different synthetic pesticide. The University of California Integrated Pest Management Project recommends that you first properly identify the cause of the pest problem. It may not be an insect that needs treatment, but rather improved watering, drainage, or fertilization. Diseases, herbicide drift, dog urine are other possible causes that need to be ruled out before making an application of any insect control product. Locate and identify the insect before making any application.
In many cases, applications of frequent forceful water sprays can keep the pest within tolerable levels. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an effective environmentally sound, biological control for a broad range of caterpillar pests in the garden and landscape. Beneficial nematodes, another biological control, can keep over 200 soil borne pests below damaging levels. For crawling insects such as ants, use barriers of sticky stuff (Tanglefoot or Stickem) to keep them at bay. Least toxic pesticides such as insecticidal soap, and horticultural oil, and botanical pesticides such as neem, pyrethrin, rotenone, garlic and various plant oils (such as cinnamon, mint, or basil oil) provide a variety of control options that do not resort to more toxic synthetic pesticides. Remember to always read and follow label directions.
EPA's ban on diazinon was enacted to improve both human and environmental safety. Although the insecticide's use is not immediately being prohibited, it would be prudent to terminate its use now. If you decide to discontinue use, contact your state or local hazardous waste disposal program or the local solid waste collection service for information on proper disposal. You also can refer to the disposal directions on pesticide product labeling. For information on household hazardous waste disposal programs in your area, contact Waste Watch or call 1-800-CLEANUP.
For additional information on the diazinon agreement or other aspects of the Agency's pesticide regulatory program, contact EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs at (703) 305-5017, or visit their web site, www.epa.gov/pesticides.

The truth about the tea party
"Why is the tea party destroying the Republican Party?"
That's a leading question that I have been asked repeatedly from media pundits and Democratic politicians over the past three years. Over that time, Democratic politicians and media pundits have almost universally accused the tea party of bringing ruin to the Grand Old Party. According to this skewed narrative, Republican leaders were once bipartisan, rational and almost worthy of getting invitations to Georgetown cocktail parties. Now, they are Manchurian candidates held captive by the right-wing beasts whose only goal is to infect the minds of real-life Nick Brodys who dominate the U.S. House.
Story Continued Below
Sometimes, mainstream publications and Democratic leaders even go so far as to say kind things about Ronald Reagan as a way to attack the tea party. They speak glowingly of Reagan and contrast him with the barbarians who now run the Republican Party. This, of course, conveniently overlooks the nasty attacks Reagan has endured at the hands of those who now cynically praise the 40th president.
But let's not get bogged down by history. Instead, we can blow apart this fanciful meme by reviewing the tea party's short history. Let's simply review how terrible the tea party has been for the GOP.
— They energized a conservative movement battered by eight years of bloated Republicanism,
— they shocked the political world by taking Ted Kennedy's seat,
— they put Obama Democrats in a constant defensive crouch,
— they led the resistance against "Obamacare,"
— they helped bring about the largest legislative landslide in U.S. history in 2010,
— they grabbed six seats in the U.S. Senate that year,
— they helped elect six governors,
— they helped win 700 seats in state legislatures, and
— they helped elect a Republican majority that included the largest number of Republicans elected since 1946.
With a track record like that, the Republican Party had better watch their backs. If this trend keeps up, they might just win the White House and the Senate.
Regardless of what happens in the next few weeks, the general theme that the tea party has been bad for the GOP is pure malarkey.
