Firefox 3 has a list of improvements and new features. Mozilla sums them up as such:
Keeping you and your personal information safe is our top priority. Firefox 3 includes phishing and malware protection, plus our new instant site ID info.
With features like built-in spell checking, session restore and full zoom, Firefox 3 makes it possible to work faster and more efficiently on the Web.
Your taste and needs set you apart from the rest. With Firefox 3 you can choose from over 5,000 add-ons that help you customize your browsing experience.
The awesome bar improved over the course of the various test releases, from a rather unclear mess to something where entries' details are highlighted according to importance. The awesome bar still has a nasty habit of favouring the wrong links over the right ones, but it has been getting better with each test release. For instance, with older releases, typing in "web" would give as a first hit some online store with "webobjects" in its url that I visited once, instead of bringing up "webmail.student.vu.nl", my university's webmail which I visit several times during the day.
Performance-wise, Firefox 3 also appears to be a major stride forward. Firefox 2.0 was a memory hog, and slow to load upon first boot. Firefox 3 feels more like Safari in that it loads almost instantly, and loads pages faster too.
Firefox 3 has not been released yet, but we'll update this item with the relevant links once it has. It's out there, boys and girls. And the Firefox 3 page is up too.

Many people seem to think that dressing provocatively, in a way, invites sexual violence against a person and can even cause it. That was the sentiment of a Toronto police officer, Michael Sanguinetti when he said that women could avoid sexual assault by not dressing like sluts. Of course, the response to such a statement was quick and firm.
There is not really any information out to suggest that the way someone dresses has anything to do with if they are sexually assaulted and, certainly, dressing as a "slut" doesn't excuse someone seriously harming another human being! The view a victim's clothing might be to blame for their assault is pretty common and often leads to discrimination against victims who are seeking legal assistance, protection and/or some sort of closure. Knowing this, and in protest to the comment made by officer Sanguinetti, Toronto citizens hammered out a demonstration to tell the world that rape, for any reason, is not OK and neither is blaming the victim. Their actions led to many other groups following suit to spread the same message. And so it was that Spokane's Taylor Malone organized a slutwalk for the city and I was able to be there to see the whole thing.
I had only communicated with Malone over the internet, previously, even though I think we've been in the same places before, around the same time (we just didn't talk). She's a pretty fascinating person, to say the least, and she made it quite clear that she was dedicated to her cause on facebook. I met her, armed with a small bullhorn, in person before slutwalk was to start at Riverside park in Spokane. The event was a good success, with an estimated 200 participants (though, it did seem like more than that, as people came and went at different times). We gathered together, some dressed for the occasion and some didn't, to send a message that blaming the victim of a sexual assault was not acceptable. People carried signs and we chanted things like, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, we understand that no means no," and "I won't be blamed, I'm not ashamed."
The message that an individual's clothing should not invite blame for the harm that someone has done to her was very clear, but it didn't go without criticism. Here's a breakdown of some of the criticism that I saw and heard:
Criticism #1: But dressing a certain way is asking for attention!
I don't really like that I even have to respond to this, but I can't ignore it, either. One thing, though, that I think really brings out the problem with people thinking like this was rather clear at slutwalk itself. The women dressed as "sluts" wore a variety of clothing. There was a woman dressed head-to-toe in a body stocking with booty shorts and a short top, Taylor Malone was rocking an outfit reminiscent of a 1920s flapper and I was wearing a knee-length skirt, thick tights and a V-neck blouse (which was more modest than most of my normal clothes, actually, but it was cold and rainy – I decided to go with slutty how others had seen it and not slutty as I see things, to stay warm). The variety of "slutty" clothes was pretty tremendous, with many sluts being dressed in clothes more modest than a nun's habit. Some people chose to highlight the very problem of the subjective term through their clothes, including one woman who dressed as a bellydancer and carried a sign with a drawing of a woman in a muslim hijab. Another woman actually wore a make-shift burqa. My friend and burlesque troupe leader, the Divine Jewels wore something that was talked about in a few conversations that I heard, and a friend of mine told me about it before I even saw it. She wore sweats and a sandwich-board sign. The back of the sign said, "this is what I was wearing when I was raped." On the back it said, this is what I wear to get respect, and it had a picture of her in one of her tops she made for a burlesque event. It was very clear amongst the crowd that very few people thought of "slutty" in the same way. If slutty can't be easily defined by a whole mass of people with similar goals in mind, how does one decide what 'certain way' is considered to be asking for attention? It seems to me that the problem, here, is that while people may send a message with the clothes they wear, that message may not be shared by an observer and it is the duty of the observer to not force their interpretation onto the individual, especially since the message the observer thinks they're seeing is very likely not at all correct.
Let me be clear about something, by 'asking for attention,' many commenters were literally implying that a person could dress a certain way and be asking for someone to violate them sexually and that if they were violated, it was their fault. I'm not going to say that all people who said that meant that it was OK for a girl to be violated based on her clothing, but many actually implied that. Another related comment was that dressing provocatively was similar to walking through a subway with a wad of 100 dollar bills clearly visible in one's hand. There are many reasons why that's bad reasoning, but I'm going to first entertain this concept before discussing why it is a problem. Firstly, let's assume someone really IS walking through a Subway with clearly visible wads of money in hand. Should that person get robbed, would it be ethical for the police to blame the person for the crime? Of course not! That being said, the assumption in such an example being used is that walking through a Subway with lots of visible money is comparable to walking around in certain clothes where people can see you. Considering how people select others for sex, I would have to say that assumption is probably wrong.
I actually wish we had some sort of study done on this, but, instead, I'm going to have to run with professional experience in my reasoning. I apologize, sincerely, for only having anecdotes to go by, here. Essentially, when someone the victim of sexual violence, various factors come into play. Generally, there is the condition of opportunity, the condition of desire in the criminal which overrides ethical thinking. Basically, a person wants a sexual experience and doesn't think there will be a consequence for it or doesn't care. People don't pick who they're going to interact with, sexually, based only on signals about availability. In fact, in settings where sex is a product, such as strip clubs and other adult entertainment outlets, more modest girls often make money based on other elements, from them being more modest to their personality being welcoming. In the process of courtship and sexual selection, people frequently find various elements of their potential mate attractive and that's typically what brings them to desire them.* Because so many factors tend to contribute to sexual desire, the assumption that clothing could be to blame for a significant amount of rapes is, at least, poor logic and, at most, a terrible harmful belief to reinforce (without evidence).
Criticism #2: Slutwalk's message was unclear. More so than the previous criticism, this one deserves much consideration. What's the point of a demonstration if people don't understand what it is about? One person pointed out that a sign that shows up on Google when you do an image search for slutwalk is one that says, "We're taking slut back." Assuming that one went to Google images, first, to find out what slutwalk was and then saw the 15th image represented as representative of the message slutwalk intended to send, it could be confusing. Another criticism was about the name "slutwalk." People got so caught up in condemning the use of the word "slut," that there was concern that it would overshadow the intention of the whole demonstration. Organizers, though, liked the word because they felt it would draw attention to the issue and as long as the right message was sent alongside it, the event would be productive.
There were opportunities, in the event, to network with other people who share the goal of reducing violence, judgment and helping those who have experienced sexual assault. I got to pass my business card for the Eastern Washington Sex Workers Outreach Project out to people who were curious and I got business cards from people who I know can help those who I try to help all the time.
Based on the conversations I heard and saw at slutwalk, the issues were being discussed amongst the crowd. People took the opportunity to talk about rape prevention. With all the chanting about not blaming a victim and the signs carrying similar sentiment, the only confusing aspect of the slutwalk I attended, I thought, might have been the marijuana petition people, who were confusing to see hanging around amongst the crowd.
The news outlets who covered the event seemed to understand the message very well, and their reports conveyed the desired message exactly as I think was hoped.
More criticisms:
My friend, Linda, was rightfully concerned about who was invited to slutwalk: Slutwalks not for me. Her concern was that because there was going to be an off-duty police officer at Slutwalk and that might make people in the adult industry afraid of attending. People in the adult industry are often real-life examples of the idea that a person should be able to wear or not wear anything and not have to worry about sexual assault. They willingly place themselves in sexually vulnerable positions for pay. Sometimes, their work is illegal (usually for irrational reasons, but that's a topic for another post). A basic belief permeates society that says that because a sex worker voluntarily puts themselves in sexual positions, they should not be surprised or concerned when they are assaulted. This idea clearly ignores the fact that other people put themselves in compromising positions for their work, too, but we don't reinforce injustices against them because of it. If a journeyman loses an arm to a giant mechanical device, we don't say, "well, that's what you get for working around giant machines!" There's a reason for that, it is senseless. It is as senseless as it is for people to dismiss the the issues faced by sex workers because they choose work which makes them sexually vulnerable. They are often devalued when they have been assaulted and are not only mistreated as victims, they are frequently ignored. Sex workers are a group that really needs to be represented at events like Slutwalk and they need to be visible. That being said, sex workers also don't need special treatment. A sex worker could have been equally affected by someone participating in Slutwalk or someone not participating. This is why many women who were invited by me turned the opportunity down. They didn't want to be outed as whatever type of sex worker they are, so, as far as I know, I was the only one representing Sex Workers at Slutwalk Spokane.
There have been many other types of criticism aimed at Slutwalk that have come out over the last week. I haven't been able to keep up. If you have something specific you'd like me to address, please let me know in the comments section and I will do my best to respond to it.
Overall, I think Slutwalk was successful in its goals. Movements like this are meant to draw attention to an issue and the media coverage does seem to have made that happen. Of course, some people are going to get the message wrong. That kind of thing happens with many issues. The best way to deal with that is offer the correct information where you can and then continue.
*I know, it is precarious to discuss desire as a motivator for sexual assault. I am not a promoter of the notion that sex crimes are always about control because I think we have enough evidence to show that's not true. Sometimes, they are about control and sometimes they are, sadly, about sexual desire. We can save the controversy about that for another post, though.

Startup Paradise Coast RV Looks for Investors
October 31, 2012 by Bob Ashley · Comments Off on Startup Paradise Coast RV Looks for Investors
Paradise Coast RV LLC, a new manufacturer in Benton Harbor, Mich., is looking for investors to ramp up production of its retro-style Silver Beach travel trailer. The company, founded in 2010, has produced a 14-foot all-aluminum prototype that was shown at the Elkhart County Open House in September and expects eventually to build 9-foot to 24-foot floorplans. "We've been doing a lot of research and development for the last two years," said President Ted Simpson, who has worked for several RV manufacturers in various positions. "There are single people out there, particularly women, who want a retro-style trailer so they can fit into the antique rallies. They want a new trailer because they don't have the time or the money to refurbish a unit." With six contract employees, Paradise Coast had four units in production at the end of October. "We have a couple of dealers in Florida and Connecticut that we are working with right now and several dealers throughout the country who have shown a lot of interest," said Simpson, 49. While retro in style, the "green" Silver Beach has modern appliances, flat-panel TVs, one-touch audio systems, anti-microbial flooring that is mold and rot resistant, oversized windows, jackknife sofas, real wood paneling, cabinets and trim, u-shaped dinettes and stainless steel exterior lettering. MSRP: $23,300.

The first part of this series focused on the various efforts around the country to establish school choice. This piece attempts to shed light upon the history of compulsory public education in America.
As the nation debates the merits of school choice I've noticed a common theme in the arguments of the ideas' opponents. They assert that the implementation of school choice would abandon a noble tradition with early roots in the American founding.
School choice opponents love to paint our compulsory public education system as part of the American promise, thus shielding it from criticism. But contrary to popular belief, compulsory education does not have a terribly long tradition in either England or the United States. Not until the late 19th century did either of these countries establish their first compulsory education laws.
Compulsory education failed to gain any traction for several decades after the founding of the American Republic. Though it is true several founding fathers advocated some form of national education, the American people were at first unwilling to give up control of their children's learning.
Children in the early 19th century were largely homeschooled or apprenticed to tradesmen. In stark contrast to modern students, these children received their educations with individual attention and finished with little to no debt. The wealth of learning options open to citizens allowed them to make the best decision regarding which form of education would best benefit the family.
It was not until the 1840's that compulsory education first gained popular support. That decade an influx of Irish and German Catholic immigrants began to frighten what was then a thoroughly Protestant society. It was thought that ensuring the same education to all, devoid of religious or political influence, would best preserve the principles of American democracy (then thought to be threatened by Catholicism).
The Blaine Amendments to state constitutions, which remain in place, prevented state money from going to parochial schools. It is these very amendments which are the primary obstacles in the way of states attempting to pass school voucher laws.
Compulsory education also found support among intellectuals in the Progressive movement. For them it was essential that the state directly control the education of its citizens. Famed Progressive and educational philosopher John Dewey once wrote that "through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move." Dewey like other Progressives found an example of their preferred educational system in the early Soviet Union. "The Russian educational situation is enough to convert one to the idea that only in a society based upon the cooperative principle can the ideals of educational reformers be adequately carried into operation."
Leading the way, Massachusetts passed the first compulsory education law in 1852. As Progressive ideology gained popularity in the late 19th century other states were quick to follow suite. By 1917 every state in the Union had adopted compulsory education laws.
It must be pointed out here that the United States had not previously been a nation of illiterate citizens. Estimates reveal that 90% of all whites in the mid-19th century were able to read, write, and perform basic arithmetic. These statistics like nothing else reveal that the impetus behind compulsory schooling was always more political than educational.
Administrators began to implement new curriculum without any fear of losing students. Stripped of any choice concerning their children's education, lower and middle income parents were obligated to send their children to the local public school. These parents slowly lost influence over the aspect of parenting once considered most important. Over time the system became evermore politicized, bureaucratic, detached from family, and most importantly devoid of any moral content.
Any serious solution to the modern education problem should take into account the benefits of a repeal of the state compulsory education laws. The end of such laws would bring about an ultimate expression of school choice. Parents could choose between homeschool, trade schools charter schools, and religious schools for their children. These decisions would allow families to make the choice most likely to fit in with their financial, educational, and moral needs.
From here going forward the nation needs to come to terms with the fact that mandatory public education simply isn't the only, or even the best, option for the public welfare.
Thanks for all the tips mentioned in this article! it's always good to read things you have heard before and are implementing, but from a different perspective, always pick up some extra bits of information.

Look forward. After each failure you learn something. Do not live justifying yourself that you failed once to not fight for the goal you have set for yourself. We are all human and we are wrong but the future is full of new opportunities.
Keep your goal. That you have fallen once, does not mean that you must abandon your objective. It does not matter how many times you fall, but how many times you get up. Before embarking on the road again, think if you have a clear objective and what can be the way to achieve it. There are times when falling is the best thing that can happen to us to realize that we are not following the path marked. https://www.speedyessay.co.uk/speedy-dissertation-help-with-custom-propo...

Right to education for all hence compulsory education laws are necessary for the students. I am an academic writer and knows the importance of education. https://myassignmenthelp.com/uk/
Compulsory education laws expect youngsters to go to an open or state-licensed private school for a specific timeframe. There are sure exemptions, most eminently homeschooling, yet for all intents and purposes, all states have orders for when kids must start school and how old they should be before dropping out. http://www.assignmentcorner.co.uk/assignment-writing-service
After 30 plus years of study and research, I am convinced that the only way to have good public schools is to end compulsory schooling and go to absolute local control of schools. Each school should be controlled by local parents - the ones who pay the taxes. Get rid of the state and national departments of education; they only spend money and make schools worse and worse. I don't have much hope that this will ever happen so we are left with private and home schools. Nothing funded by a government agency or a giant foundation will ever allow enough freedom to give a wide range of students an excellent education.

Movie Filming - Georgia (2012)
|Adam and Matthew Klafter meet Arnold Schwarzenegger
When Mike Briggs, President of FIRST's Board of Directors was approached by a scouting crew to use his home on Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia for an upcoming movie, the answer was simple.
|Mike poses at Arnold's chair during the production
"I told them they were free to film at my home, as long as they agreed to donate all of the rental fees associated with the use of my property to FIRST," said Mike Briggs, whose term as President of FIRST began in January 2013. "When the producers heard that, they decided to make the donation larger and have donated $35,000 to the Foundation. We couldn't be more thrilled."
The Briggs' family home was filled with cameras, equipment, cast, and crew members of Arnold Schwarzenegger's newest movie during December. In fact, the entire street was transformed with trailers lining the roadway during production.
Filming wrapped up recently, and stars on the set, including Schwarzenegger, had a meet and greet with Briggs' grandson Adam K., who is affected with epidermolytic ichthyosis. The movie, "Ten" is slated to come out next year.
"Although there is no known cure for this disease, donations such as this will assist us to fund research to help us not only get closer to a cure, but to better manage the disorder," said Jean Pickford, Executive Director of FIRST.
As a result of this, local newspaper and radio outlets have publicized the donation. Articles about the donation appeared in the Gainesville Times and also the Cumming Patch and Buford Patch publications.
Additionally, Mike was interviewed on WDUN radio's Bill and Joel Morning Show. What a great way to help FIRST and raise awareness about ichthyosis and our Foundation!
Many thanks to Mike for all of his efforts.

Since I am on the Stampendous blog team, I was excited to visit their booth at CHA. Their booth at CHA Winter 2013 was filled with lots of beautiful cards and other creative projects from their design team. Stampendous introduced several new stamp designs (clear, cling and wood mounted), new glitter colours and other fun stuff for CHA Winter 2013.
One of my favorites in the booth was the mirror displays on their wall – each mirror was decorated differently by their design team member and featured the use of their stamps, glitter, mica and color fragments.
Here's a closer look at some of the mirrors' details:
Stampendous also showcased their super fine glitters. I could not resist the urge to touch it – it's almost like velvet!
My absolute favorites in the Stampendous booth were Fran's Encrusted Jewels Kits. There are so many different ways you can use them! And I had no idea you can emboss from the back side! Here's a quick video I took at the show:

Breaking in Your New Glove
Among the first things you will notice with your new Vinci glove is the sturdiness of its construction. Each glove is handcrafted using only the highest-grade leathers and materials. All baseball gloves and softball gloves need to be "broken in" before use in order to provide a proper fit and to play a better game. Many companies use industrial machines to simulate the natural breaking in process. At Vinci, we find that this method often results in "floppy", ill-fitting gloves with significantly shorter product lives. The individual nature of a player's hand size and shape, catching style and glove preference lends itself better to a more customized break in process. The steps below will provide you with some basic tips on how to quickly and effectively incorporate your new Vinci glove into your game.
- Pete Vinci
The two basic goals of breaking in a glove are softening the leather and forming the pocket.
To properly soften the leather, Vinci includes a complimentary jar of exclusive
Glove Conditioner with every new glove.** Using latex gloves, apply conditioner
to all leather areas of glove including the pocket, laces, and rear. Too much
conditioner can actually shorten the life of your glove by speeding up deterioration,
so a good rule of thumb is to never apply more than a pea sized amount at a
time. Usually 3 - 5 pea sized applications will
2) Let your glove sit for 24 hours allowing conditioner to fully absorb into leather. Wipe off any excess using a clean, dry cloth. Do not apply more conditioner for at least 2 weeks.
3) Move the heel of the glove firmly back and forth in a "shoe shining" motion. Do the same with the fingers and where the bottom of the web meets the glove. This movement will help to loosen the fibers of the leather and interior linings.
Besides playing catch there are many ways to form a pocket into your baseball glove.
4) Get a baseball or softball depending on your needs for the glove (some players prefer using a hollow plastic ball like the one pictured in the Vinci Break In Kit). Place the ball firmly into the pocket area of the glove.
5) Using 2 Vinci Glove Bands (string, elastic bands, belts, or bungees will work as well), wrap the outside of the glove in an "X" pattern, closing the ball firmly into the pocket. Allow the glove to sit overnight.
6) Remove the bands and toss a ball firmly into the pocket area 50 - 100 times.* Taking time to press and twist the ball into the leather.
7) Repeat steps 3 through 6 until your glove is sufficiently broken in.
You may also use a glove mallet like the one included in the Vinci Glove Break In Kit to hammer into the pocket. The tapered handle of the mallet can be used to size the finger holes of the glove if they feel too tight on your hands. Place the tapered end of the mallet into the fingers of glove and rotate slowly to expand the size of the openings.

Ahmedabad: Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley Sunday said their suggestion to the Prime Minister regarding appointment of CBI director was entirely for "institutional reforms" and not person-centric.
"We were concerned only and only with institutional reforms (regarding CBI), our suggestion was not person centric and if somebody deliberately tries to misunderstand this fact then he is being more than unfair," Jaitley said here today.
Jaitley along with BJP leader in Lok Sabha Shushma Swaraj had written letters to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying that the appointment of new CBI Director Ranjit Sinha should not have been done when the Rajya Sabha Select Committee had recommended that such appointments should be done through a collegium.
However, the Prime Minister, in his reply, had said "insinuation that the appointment was made to preempt the procedure recommended by the Select Committee is wholly unwarranted and devoid of any merit."
"The experience in relation to the functioning of CBI over the last few years has been extremely disappointing. The fact that the Select Committee was absolutely unanimous that a collegium of Prime Minister, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and the Chief Justice of India would appoint CBI director, this itself is a very significant institutional reform," Jaitley said.
"Sushmaji and I had therefore suggested to the Prime Minister that once this has been unanimously recommended the government ought to have waited for few days. Heaven does not fall if the post is vacant for four or five days," he said.
"Obviously the government was not serious about the issue, it wanted to frustrate this recommendation and therefore few hours before the recommendations of the Select Committee were tabled in Parliament, the government made the appointment unilaterally of the CBI director," Jaitley said.
Speaking on the issue of allegations of corruption against BJP president Nitin Gadkari, Jaitley said, "Our party president has already said that allegations should be probed, the probe is going on and to make any other statement at this stage will not be proper. However, in Congress those who face allegations of corruption are not ready even to face probe."
On BJP leaders Shatrughan Sinha and Ram Jethmalani airing their grievances in public on the issue of resignation of Gadkari and appointment of CBI director respectively, Jaitley said the party has already conveyed that it would be better if they raise such issues inside the party forum.
Regarding former CAG official R P Singh`s recent statement about the 2G scam, Jaitley alleged, "This government has launched the war on the office of the CAG as on other constitutional authorities, and the present attack seems to be choreographed by the ruling party."
"It appears when Parliament is in session and in order to give the issue a hype a normally reluctant participant in this debate, the AICC president (Sonia Gandhi), participates in this choreography herself," Jaitley said on comments made by Sonia Gandhi on the issue of R P Singh`s revelations.
"This country is not concerned for a former disgruntled officer, we are concerned with the CAG as an institution. Views of disgruntled former employee are redundant, only views of CAG as a constitutional authority are valuable," the leader further said.
Regarding BJP`s cold shoulder to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee`s no confidence motion against UPA government, Jaitley said, "In Parliament there is more support for a resolution against FDI and so we have chosen it as a first step. After that we can think of any other thing."

The Nebraska football team started its week of preparation for Friday's Heroes Game matchup against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Tuesday. The team practiced in shoulder pads and helmets for just over two hours, splitting time between the Hawks Championship Center and outside on the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Field.
Defensive Coordinator John Papuchis addressed the media following practice, focused on Iowa's ground attack.
"I think they're a physical group and they want to establish the run," Papuchis said. "It was kind of a grind-it-out type of game a year ago, and even though they have different guys, their philosophy hasn't changed much. I'm sure they're going to have some different wrinkles ready for us, but I expect what we've seen from them over the course of the year."
Much of Iowa's rushing game has come from walk-on running back Mark Weisman. Papuchis commented on his running style on Tuesday.
"He's a pounder," Papuchis said. "He's physical, downhill, and faster than you would expect him to be when he gets in the open field. We've faced some backs like that over the back half of the season against both Penn State and Michigan State, so we're going to have to be ready for a 60-minute fist fight."
Most great passing games are built off of solid running games. With Iowa's rushing success, quarterback James Vandenberg has benefited with open passing lanes. Papuchis also commented on the challenges of facing the senior quarterback on Friday.
"The play action that comes off of their running game is a big part of what they do," Papuchis said. "Vandenberg is a good player. I think when he drops back and throws it he's a good player, so I think they're a pretty balanced attack."

Some sources claim that the actions of the United States in the global economy risk a return to a destructive Smoot-Hawley trade policy. These sources aren't credible. If, indeed, a few fringe observers are advocating policies that will trigger a trade war, they will receive little serious policy attention.
Unsubstantiated alarms of this kind should be ignored in favor of a rational discussion of how policy can be shaped to secure U.S. national interest, integrating it into a global policy that will expand, rather than contract, world trade.
The United States has a huge stake in the adoption of trade policies that expand world trade—but trade that is based on internationally accepted rules designed to support natural comparative advantage rather than trade conducted through mercantilist policies that produce predatory trade surpluses and unsustainable trade deficits.
China is maintaining its currency at a low level against the dollar, consistently ignoring pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and key Asian nations to allow its currency to appreciate through market forces against other currencies. Artificial suppression of the value of China's currency and government subsidies for exports are a form of protectionism on a scale not previously experienced in world commerce.
U.S. trade and current account deficits, the highest in world history, are out of control and are at levels that most economists agree are unsustainable. The world needs flexible exchange rates to enssure sustainable growth in world trade.
The role of the dollar as the world's reserve currency is now under pressure, threatening the ability of the United States to finance its budget and trade deficits. China is already calling for the establishment of a basket of currencies (euro, yen, pound, dollar and possibly the yuan) in the form of IMF special drawing rights to jointly replace the dollar as a basket of the world's reserve currencies.
China holds $2 trillion of foreign currency reserves, 70 percent of which are in U.S. dollars. Given U.S. deficits and dollar weakness, China is concerned that U.S. dollar devaluation—attributable to U.S. deficits—will produce significant Chinese capital losses, reducing the value of the U.S. dollars it holds in its central bank. China complains about the dollar weakness directly triggered by the huge U.S. trade deficit to which China is the largest contributor.
The potential for loss of sole reserve currency status of the dollar is real. Traditionally, reserve currency countries have been net world creditors and lenders. The United States is now in the opposite position—a net world borrower and debtor. China, in contrast, is now a major creditor/lender country. This change bodes ill for the dollar's future as the only major world reserve currency. The decline of the dollar to a lower-than-acceptable level will ultimately increase U.S. inflation and external debt interest costs, thereby providing a major long-term challenge to U.S. economic recovery. China, however, continues to create excessive monetary surpluses, artificially undervaluing its currency to grow its export markets, further contributing to dollar weakness.
To avoid too severe a decline or collapse of the dollar, the United States and other governments must now respond by initiating a major multilateral effort to convene an international monetary conference through the IMF, or preferably a new venue with countries forced out of export markets by Chinese currency policies. The objective would be to establish a new world monetary regime consisting of countries with free-floating convertible currencies to ensure that these floating currencies will become the basis for trade expansion, in the process providing vitally needed adjustments in out-of-control national trade surpluses and deficits.
Why should China and other countries engaged in competitive currency devaluations cooperate in a monetary conference leading to the formation of a club of countries with free-floating currencies? The answer is that a country's export trade access to the markets of other countries cooperating in a joint free-floating monetary regime would in significant part be dependent on that country's adoption of a free-floating convertible currency. Refusal to do so would result in limitations on the trade access of any non-participating country to the markets of member countries participating in the new monetary policy regime. This approach is the surest route to sustained world trade expansion and the avoidance of trade wars generated by out-of-control trade deficits and surpluses. Such a policy won't be easy to accomplish, but coordinated efforts of the Western industrial countries and several interested Asian nations to convince China to cooperate should give it a fair chance of success.
In addition to currency correction, we must ensure the United States is still a competitive place for manufacturing investment; reduce our trade and current account deficits; engage in a concerted drive for greater energy independence; rebuild the obsolescent and deficient U.S. infrastructure; and revise the U.S. tax code, adopting a revenue-neutral value-added tax to replace an equal amount of U.S. business taxes, to be imposed on imports and rebated on exports.
The Steel Manufacturers Association urges the administration and Congress to consider the proposed monetary policy to expand world trade and the additional policies we propose to restore U.S. manufacturing strength.

Calcium Supplements and Mortality
By G. Douglas Andersen, DC, DACBSP, CCN
When the National Institutes of Health's AARP Diet and Health Study reported that men who took calcium supplements had a higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared those who didn't,1 it was the third large cohort in six months with alarming findings regarding calcium supplements.The Swedish mammography cohort said women who take calcium supplements have a higher risk of mortality2 and the Heidelberg cohort3 found calcium supplements increased the risk of CVD in both sexes.
The AARP Diet and Health Study
The National Institutes of Health - AARP Diet and Health Study followed almost 220,000 men and 170,000 women ages 50-70 from 1995-1996 until 2007-2008. The study was set up to investigate cancer as it relates to diet and other factors. Calcium supplements were used by half of the men and more than two-thirds of the women. In men, supplemental calcium (from multivitamins and/or calcium) intake over 1,000 mg/day was associated with an elevated risk of death from cardiovascular disease, specifically myocardial infarction. What didn't make headlines was that all-source calcium up to 1,200 mg/day actually reduced mortality rates.
The Swedish Mammography Cohort
This study was conducted between 1987 and 1990. Ninety thousand women (ages 39-73) were offered a free mammography screening if they filled out questionnaires on diet and lifestyle. Seventy-four percent responded and 92 percent (61,433) met the inclusion requirements. In 1997, approximately 56,000 of the women still living locally were contacted, approximately 70 percent of whom replied. Ninety-nine percent (38,894) were included (they had previously met inclusion requirements) and answered a longer questionnaire. The headlines that made the news were:
What didn't make the headlines was the actual conclusion: "After sensitivity analysis including marginal structural models, the higher death rate with low dietary calcium intake (<600 mg/day) or with low and high total calcium intake was no longer apparent. Use of calcium tablets (6% users; 500 mg calcium per tablet) was not on average associated with all cause or cause specific mortality, but among calcium tablet users with a dietary calcium intake above 1400 mg/day the hazard ratio for all cause mortality was 2.57."
In other words, only the women who got more than enough calcium from their diet and then took calcium supplements elevated their risk of mortality.
The Heidelberg Cohort
In the Heidelberg cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, nearly 24,000 subjects ages 35-64 years and free of major cardiovascular disease events at recruitment were followed for an average of 11 years. The investigators found that calcium from supplements – but not dietary calcium (dairy or non-dairy) – increased the risk for myocardial infarction. When other supplements were taken with the calcium, the risk was less pronounced.
The authors did not get any information from the study participants on what "other supplements" were. There were other problems with the study that the popular press overlooked. They are best described by the authors themselves:
Analyzing or re-analyzing complex statistical data from large observational studies is no easy task. Trust me, my eyes became blurry pouring over the statistics from these three studies. A headline or soundbite can often be misleading or even incorrect.
That is not to say we should ignore the results of these cohorts, because we shouldn't. And if supplemental calcium is actually unhealthy, we want to know it. But we must also take the time to understand what was actually observed and analyzed, and how the numbers were calculated, before coming to a conclusion. All three of these studies generated news that made a confused public even more confused.
In my previous article on the most common mistakes people make when taking dietary supplements (June issue), I suggested taking any dietary supplement when there is no dietary deficiency is unnecessary (unless prescribed by a health care professional to treat a specific problem or condition), a waste of money, could be unhealthy and is a very common error many people make because they "take them without knowing if they need them." It appears this is exactly what the authors of these studies observed. Unfortunately, it was not presented this way to the public.

Parents react to Boston school assignments
Parents reacted for the first time to their children's school assignments.
Parents reacted for the first time to their children's school assignments.
March 28, 2011
The assignments of students rely in large part on a random number assigned by a computer. So a system designed for fairness can inevitably cause divisions among winners and losers.
April 22, 2011
Of the many complexities of the city's school assignment system, it is this central inequity that can inflame the most passionate anger, that the city can pay for many but not all of its 4-year-olds to go to school.
May 8, 2011
In Boston, proximity to a school - even one just 33 child-size steps away - is no guarantee of admission.
June 12, 2011
There was a time when all the kids on Montvale Street went to nearby Wolfgang Mozart Elementary School. Now, the children scatter every morning to schools beyond their neighborhood.
August 14, 2011
Instead of preparing for the first day of school, some parents are still battling disappointment or weighing options in August, uncertain or unsettled about where their child will go.
October 3, 2011
Almost 10,000 Boston students — nearly 18 percent of the student body — are still on waiting lists, trying to get into different schools than they were assigned.
December 12, 2011
The uneven distribution of great facilities and programs underpins Boston's elaborate school-lottery system, and is also the reason the process is so harrowing.
December 25, 2011
The lottery system for Boston public schools has created a group of prized schools and a group perpetually relegated to second-rung status.
December 31, 2011
Boston schools Superintendent Carol R. Johnson and the School Committee are treading cautiously as they weigh how to overhaul the way students are assigned to schools, a hot-button issue that has polarized parents, community activists, and political leaders in the past. "I think that for us to have a very well-designed process and thoughtful communication we need to make sure we take the time so we are prepared,'' Johnson said. "It's a very complex issue.''
Kimberly Bertrand got her first choice - the Warren/Prescott K-8 School - for her 4-year-old son, Jack.
Andy Berg and Anna Ross were assigned their second-choice school for their 4-year-old daughter, Ita.
Jamaica Plain
Four-year-old Malia Grant was assigned a seat in the West Zone Early Learning Center in Jamaica Plain, the first choice her parents, Carly and Masilo Grant.
Mission Hill
Deborah Grophear wasn't assigned the first school choice for her 5-year-old daughter, Xolani, but did get her second choice - Jackson Mann in Allston.
Betty Legendre had two children in the school lottery - Jeffry, 5, and Alexa, 3. She did not receive the news she wanted for either of them.
Chantel Peoples got good news on placement for her four-year-old son, J'ovanni Thomas, but it did not come through the Boston Public Schools lottery.
Despite not getting one of her top choices, Olayemi Phillips was excited that her 3-year-old daughter Nia was assigned a spot in a pre-kindergarten classroom at Chittick Elementary School.
South End
Kathy and Glyn Polson got the bad news from a neighbor over the phone: 4-year-old Ayla did not get a seat at any of her three chosen schools. So they decided to send her to a private school.
East Boston
After Jackelyn Ponce learned that her son Jose Angel Guevara, almost 3, was on a wait list for a limited number of spots in the city's early education program, she was crushed.
Jeff and Kimesha Rogers are counted on luck in the school lottery for their son, Chief. They got the bad news in a short, crisp letter.
Steve Rousell and Denise Kitty-Rousell didn't want to rely on the lottery for their daughter, Sophie, so they made a backup plan for a private school. It turned out to be a good move.
South Boston
Chrissanta Rudder jumped up and down when her 4-year-old daughter, Chrystabella, got her second choice - Perkins Elementary in South Boston.
West Roxbury
Becky Wyatt was relieved when her 4 1/2-year-old son, Isaiah, was assigned to her second-choice school - the Beethoven in West Roxbury.

I'm pretty sure the latter is the case. Marco even says that Whitebeard should have been able to dodge that attack, even if it were his own comrade attacking him. We saw how easily he stopped Ace's assassination attempts in those flashbacks, did we not? I wouldn't count that giant VA's "sneak attack" though, since that guy was stupid enough to shout out when he attacked Whitebeard in the first place ("Haha you let your guard down, now I'll kill- Oh crap, I got facequake'd").....
So yeah, it was Whitebeard's declining health that allowed him to get stabbed by his own son.....
Edit: Hmm, james0246 beat me to the answer. Oh well, at least the point will stand out more this way.

Now we know that 3 emperors have had history with some of the warlords in the past.
1) Whitebeard defeated Crocodile in the past along with Blackbeard recently defecting from his crew after acquiring the darkness fruit and murdering Thatch.
2) Shanks used to spar with Mihawk on numerous occasions and he was permanently scarred by Blackbeard many years ago.
3) Kaidou was responsible for Moria's defeat and the complete decimation of his old crew back in the New World.
These are some very interesting facts we have here. Perhaps Doflamingo or Kuma may have gotten into some kind of altercation with the 4th unknown emperor some time ago.
@marvelB - I love that montage of Moria's multiple facial expressions you put up. I'm sure we'll be seeing many more of those great moments yet to come .

Judging from WB's loving nature, i wonder what made him choose a life of piracy. He would have made a wonderful civil leader. To inspire so much love and loyalty from hundreds of people, while at the same time he inspires fear and terror in the hearts of his enemies. He will leave behind a legacy unmatched by anyone.
With that said i hope there is a higher body count.

Whitebeard refrencing to all his subordinates as "children" in combo with his devil fruit powers literally make him seem like a god that decended to earth.
I can't wait to see him kick arse in the next chapter, finally we'll get a good sample of how he fights.

It's interesting how the video feed only got cut off after the seed that the war was staged was planted to the public.
Sengoku did pull a nasty trick, but as much is to be expected of him.
You have to love the level of injury people can take in One Piece. Whitebeard was just run through with a sword and he's still able to fight. It royally sucks that there will be ANOTHER break. They just had one a few weeks ago.
Amazing how little Luffy there was here.

It seemed like Sengoku wanted to cut off the cameras sooner, buggy keeping one on was unintended... as such the public seeing the betrayal was unintended
Will the public act negatively to a supposedly "planned war"? will the fail of Whitebeard be enough to counter such negative reaction? Would have been better for them to have let the camera roll to show the public it wasn't true?... i guess one downside to letting it play out would be whitebeard gaining some sympathy
It makes you wonder... i mean the down side to cutting off the video there was that the public are left with the impression that the marines made a deal with whitebeard and the war was staged... but their is a plus side to this in that it makes whitebeard look like a traitor... their are probebly many people he has touched that made them think that pirates are not all bad... these same people will now be having second thoughts about WB and all other pirates by extension... could be an interesting dynamic if oda plays with it

But I would agree to disagree with you on a couple of points:
- I don't believe that WB is grooming Ace into the next PK simply because Sengoku says so. We don't know how much Sengoku knows about WB's plan for the crew after he's gone and it could be a part of Sengoku's plan to "rub more salt onto Squardo's wound." I would believe it if WB says that himself. But until WB says so, Ace's is just another candidate like all the other divisions captains (provided that the WB crew doesn't get disbanded after this), and given Ace's younger age, experience and shorter history with the crew, I personally don't think that he deserves to be the top candidate. But this is just a personal opinion. Feel free to disagree.
- I agree that some people are born leader (charismatic), but I believe that it takes more than charisma to be a good leader. In short, knowledge, experience, etc counts. I think this is where we disagree. You are arguing for a leader, while I am arguing for a GOOD leader. By my personaly definition of leadership, I don't believe that Luffy is a good leader. His crew had to clean up his mess way too often. I haven't seen any of the admiral "leading" people to make any judgement. They are indeed in leadership position, but whether they are good leaders or not, we don't know. Nor any of the WB division captains, so, I was just making assumption based on age/experience on the above.
Anyway, I don't think any arguments can change my opinion for the time being, so I would say let's pause over here.

Why are you so convinced BB will show up? It could be in his best interest to stay out of it for now, especially since he might not be able to stay in the WG's favor after what he did at ID. If he wants to keep his shichibukai title, he has to do something that has a huge impact on the battle. Also, there's the matter of actually reaching Marineford. I am very curious to see what new crewmembers he has gathered though (or whatever his exact goal was).

As for doing something that would have a huge impact... personally i thought for a long time that he would land a critical blow in bringing down Whitebeard. Shanks warned WB to be careful of Teach and that he was much more dangerous then he let on... Him being the one to deal such a blow would make that warning come full circle

I doubt Whitebeard is underestimating Teach. He said himself, he had a bad feeling after the whole situation after Thatch was killed. All in all, even if BB wins, I don't think his victory over WB can be classed as being that impressive. WB is wounded, he isn't in his prime anymore.....

The Verge has an interesting story up detailing the various hardware and software prototypes that could have had a future hadn't HP botched pretty much every aspect of its Palm acquisition. Both in features as well as design, the next version of webOS, codenamed 'Eel', looked quite promising, and the hardware designs certainly stand out too.
Sadly, as I stated in my detailed history of Palm, webOS was, at its core, simply not a Palm product. As I wrote:
A cool UI doesn't hide the fact that it's slow and unresponsive. A cool UI doesn't hide the fact that the underlying system is unoptimised. A cool UI doesn't hide the fact that it sucks battery like a there's no tomorrow. A cool UI doesn't hide the fact that the hardware was of appallingly low quality.
A cool UI doesn't hide the fact that the operating system has absolutely nothing to do with what Palm is supposed to stand for.
WebOS probably looked like the bee's knees to someone used to the version of Android and iOS at the time, but having had a long history using PalmOS products, webOS was a total and utter letdown. WebOS was a badly sewn together set of compromises, unfinished parts and shortcuts - and it showed. From The Verge's article, I get the impression that Eel slapped on a new coat of paint and new user-facing features - but that the lower levels and core of the operating system were still very much the same unoptimised mess.
I'm definitely curious what LG's webOS TV is going to be like - it looks nice - but if it's anything like Palm's and HP's webOS products, it won't light any of my fires.

We just couldn't resist trying out the Coby Kyros. It wasn't the $250 list price ($150 street) or Android 2.2 operating system that lured us in; it was the screen. We've seen plenty of 7-inch and 10-inch tablets pass through CNET, but never an 8-inch. We figured maybe Coby was onto something.
Design and features
Unfortunately, the first thing you'll notice about the Coby Kyros is that the screen is unforgivably bad. When it comes to budget tablets there's a lot we can forgive (minimal storage, plastic construction, poor battery life), but when you cheap out on a tablet's screen, we have to draw the line. The Kyros' resistive screen requires a forceful touch (a plastic stylus is included) and is covered in a sheet of plastic that is easy to scratch. What's worse is that the LCD panel and the resistive plastic covering are spaced so far apart that the screen appears as though it is underwater. As a result, viewing angles are mediocre, e-book text is washed out, and outdoor viewing is nearly impossible.
If you can look past the Kyros' screen (and you shouldn't, since it's the foundation of the entire tablet) you'll notice a 2.1-megapixel camera above the display and a home button below it that is flanked by buttons for search, back, menu, and browser. Yes, Android fans, Coby threw a dedicated browser button in among the conventional Android navigation. Having it there is convenient, in theory, but in practice we wound up triggering it by accident more often than using it deliberately.
On the right side you'll find a power button and volume rocker--fairly standard stuff. The back offers a pair of stereo speakers. The bottom edge, though, is where all the action is. Here's where you'll find the microSD memory card slot (which accepts up to 32GB of extra storage) and the always-reassuring "reset" hole. The bottom also holds the power adapter input and headphone jack (which we confused for each other more than a few times), a Mini-USB sync port, and a Mini-HDMI output that supports up to 1080p video output. How it is you plan on acquiring 1080p movie content and loading it onto a tablet with only 4GB of storage (2.9GB usable) is entirely up to you to figure out.
Included with the Kyros is a USB sync cable, a USB host adapter cable (which works with thumbdrives, but not external keyboards), a pair of earbuds, a plastic stylus, and a wall-wart-design power adapter for recharging. Be sure to keep that charger handy, since the Kyros is rated at 6 hours of Web browsing at the default brightness (which, as you might guess, is fairly dim).
The Coby Kyros runs Android 2.2, aka Froyo, but it's not the Google-sanctioned version of Android you've seen on products like the Samsung Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak 7. Instead, you're getting the open-sourced Android experience that is common to most of the low-end tablets and e-book readers, such as the Archos 7 Home Tablet, Velocity Micro Cruz Reader, and Maylong M-150. As such, there's no Google Market, no Google Maps, no Navigation (not that there's GPS anyway), no Google Books, no Google Talk, no Gmail, no Google Calendar...you get the picture. It's not a device for Google fans.
What you do get are the standard Android Web browser and general e-mail and gallery applications, along with the same AppsLib app market found on Archos tablets. As app stores go, it's pretty thinly stocked. If you're going to use a device like this, we recommend taking the extra time to install the Amazon Appstore app, through which you can browse and install a wide selection of free and premium apps.
The good news is that the version of Android loaded onto the Kyros is not as heavily altered as we've seen it on similar budget tablets. Overall, the navigation, onscreen keyboard, settings, and other tried and true aspects of Android have all been kept intact. Unfortunately, the root problem of the inferior screen weighs down on the whole experience. For example, accurate typing really demands a stylus, which for many is an automatic deal-breaker. The screen's lack of multitouch support also means that pinch-to-zoom gestures are a no-go, which makes photo and Web browsing a chore.

"Does anyone know a guy named Terry from the Pier?" Ronnie Talbot wrote in the Facebook group dubbed Cape Breton Rant Room.
"He's got a stupid f---ing haircut if that helps."
Talbot went on to say that he believes Terry "and another young fella" stole a flat of beer out of the back of his pickup truck while he was using the washroom at Tim Hortons.
"I was on my way out when I saw them jump into a green Pontiac Bonneville," Talbot typed a few minutes before midnight.
"The lady at Tim's said all she knows is he's a young fella named Terry. He may tint car windows for cash; someone may know him from that.
"So help my Jesus, Terry, if I find you you're f---ed."
And with that simple screed, the floodgates opened. Talbot's post about purloined suds had garnered hundreds of reactions and comments.
While many of them contain expletives not suited to a family newspaper, lots of people who waded into the fray feel the beer thieves need to learn a little respect.
Justin Campbell from Sydney pretty much summed it up with this post: "Dirty f---in' beer badger."
Others are sympathetic for Talbot's loss.
"God bless you, Ronnie, and God help Terry," Kari Grant typed Friday morning in response to the string of commentary that has been entertaining Cape Bretoners all week.
"Ronnie, my husband and I never laughed so much as we did at your post," said Chris Laveck-Bonnar of Thorold, Ont.
"I think you should become a comedy writer. Thanks for the laugh. . . . We needed that."
The beer theft has prompted such sympathy for Talbot and his simple desire to crack a cold one that one supporter set up a crowd-funding page to raise money to buy him another case of beer.
David Jones of Sydney turned to Go Fund Me with a simple goal of raising $60 to buy Talbot another case of Keiths. By Monday night that effort — gofundme.com/get-
ronnie-talbot-a-new-24-a-keiths — had raised $370 and garnered 1,900 shares on social media.
Talbot chimed in Friday, asking Jones to donate all the cash to the Whitney Pier Youth Club.
"We don't want anymore young fellas growing up like Terry and being pricks."
The hashtag #24forRonnie also appears in many of the missives on the forum for Caper tirades.
One poster sympathized so strongly they proposed selling T-shirts in the Tims parking lot to compensate Terry's victims.
"Good ol CB at its finest!! Oh how I miss ya," posted Sheila MacDougall, a former administrator at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre.
In an interview during his lunch break Friday, Talbot said he's surprised at how much reaction his post garnered.
"It's a shitty situation," he said.
"I figured I'd get at least a little bit of a laugh between the people in the rant room. I never expected to gain any traction."
The 47-year-old warehouse labourer is happy his post will help raise some cash for the youth club.
"If everybody can have a laugh and donate a little money, why not?" Talbot said.
He never figured out who stole his beer and doesn't expect to ever find the culprit.
"And, to be honest, who knows if his name is actually Terry?" Talbot said. "It's a younger guy from the area, I would assume."
Talbot liked the fact his post tickled the funnybones of Cape Bretoners far and wide.
"I guess it makes them feel a little homesick," he said.
"Everybody lives away and they kind of forget about our little island. So it's a little humour from home, I guess."
He's not sour about the stolen beer.
"At the end of the day, I didn't have a two-four. That's all right. We'll get another one."
Though he likely won't store it in the back of his truck.
"I think I learned my lesson on that one," Talbot said.
"I don't think a two-four will ever see the back of my truck again."

Friday October 25, 2013
Eva Longoria has revealed that she "almost killed" herself trying to complete her stunts whilst playing an assassin in her up-coming movie Out Of the Blue.
"I'm old... I hurt my back, I hurt my hip," she told the hosts of American chat show The View. The 38-year-old co-directed the short film alongside Ron Howard.
Out of the Blue follows Eva's character who has to fight her way through a series of challenges to stop a madman. Her skills are tested when she discovers that a loved one is in danger. Then the mission takes a surprising turn that leaves the audience wandering if it is all just a game.
The short movie, which will be aired on Yahoo on Friday, is a part of Ron Howard's Canon project Imaginat10n. The venture allows celebrities to get behind the camera and try their hand at directing, Jamie Foxx has also directed his own film called …And she was my Eve.
Eva and Jamie both attended the premiere of their films on Thursday night.

I felt the spirit in her house the first time i went over there. I told her that i didnt feel right in her house so i left w/ my older sister. we decided to take a short-cut through a near by field. at first i senced a very sad woman following me. i stoped and asked who she was. i suddenly got a flash of a blond woman being beatin to death by this really large dark blur. i talked w/ her for a little bit and after a while she just sort of disappeard so i continued my walk home. i didnt even get 20 ft away from where i had stoped before i senced the dark thing following us. my sister and i ran back to the house and splashed anoiting oil all over the walls. the thing never even came onto our yard. a few week later i tried to describe the woman to my aunt and she told me that i had perfectly described her friend who was killed by her boyfriend. who, after killing her, killed himself. So i know that i didnt make it up bc i had never even met the woman before in my life. and it was the first time i even heard about a murder near my hometown.

How about reading Bill Joy's seven years old Wired article before reading this "new" stuff on CNET?
Oh yeah, the only thing that can happen is for humanity to be rendered obsolete. No way us apes can improve ourselves.
Honestly: remember the long, long list of geniuses in our history? The human brain does scale up. And not to sound excessively optimistic, but why does everyone seem to think that self-aware AIs will either be completely hostile and psychopathic or subservient to us? It's getting a little ridiculous.
On the subject of AI: I have very, very strong doubts about anything bootstrapping to sentience a la "Dial F for Frankenstein". Just think about how many millions of years it took for selective forces to produce something sapient. In that kind of perspective, the machines we've got now are on about the same level as amoebas, or maybe worms at best. Supposing we went and tried to design a strong AI, rather than letting it happen randomly (and what reason would we have to do so, anyway?), we'd still be working almost blind. We don't know half of what's going on in our own brains, never mind the brains of other sapient creatures. We probably won't for a long time. Finding out if there are other brain structures that can produce sapience would take even longer. We could probably be uploading ourselves to digital storage and sending copies of ourselves on vacations to Pluto long before we figured out how to create a self-aware intelligence from scratch, even given hardware with enough processing power.
Meanwhile, this Singularity stuff has struck me for a while as having an unpleasant air of rapturism about it. It's either something wonderful or a doomsday scenario or both, sometimes for the same reason (figure that one out). It makes a great concept for science fiction. Beyond that... Well, you can only get so far trying to predict the future.
(Of course, wasn't that originally the whole point of the concempt? Damn, this stuff is almost as annoying as the Weak Anthropic Principal.)
At any rate, we've got to stay rational about this stuff. If some AI decides to go rogue on us, we can't go the genocide route - and I can hardly believe I have to say this to a bunch of people who are mostly liberal technophiles, but Ken MacLeod's school of thinking made it kind of clear that I do. And I know it's good to think ahead, but IMHO this stuff is about as useful as a bunch of tacticians making advance plans for World War 3.
Right now, this is all science fiction. It's not like that doesn't serve a purpose, but that doesn't make it any less fictional.
Please excuse my incoherent rant.

BOSTON, June 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mueller Co., North America's largest and only full-line supplier of potable water distribution products, has introduced a new all-ductile iron resilient wedge gate valve. The new iron gate valve has an industry-leading working pressure of 350psi and will be commercially available in August 2014.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=25791
Mueller Co. is a subsidiary of Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE:MWA), a leading North American manufacturer and marketer of products and services that are used in the transmission, distribution and measurement of water.
The Mueller style A-2361 resilient wedge gate valve will be offered in sizes ranging from 4 to 12 inches and features innovative dual purpose lifting lugs, a user friendly T-head bolt retention design and a unique 'pressure assist' wedge geometry. The valve is also triple listed; it meets American Water Works Association's C515 standards and is both UL listed and FM approved.
"Mueller's new resilient wedge gate valve is transformational on several levels and is ready today for the increasing demands of tomorrow's potable water distribution systems," said Greg Rogowski, president of Mueller Co. "This new gate valve offers unique features that provide tangible benefits to our customers."
The lifting lugs provide instant alignment for the valve box and accommodate straps or hooks. In addition, there is a nesting area for T-head bolts on MJ connections to prevent rotation during pipe installation. The all-new 'pressure assisted' wedge design requires the same torque to seal at 350psi as current distribution valves do at 250psi. Importantly, all internal components of the new 2361 are interchangeable with their current installed base of Mueller resilient wedge gate valves, simplifying the utilities parts inventory requirements.
The valve is made in the USA at Mueller Co.'s Chattanooga, TN facility and certified to ANSI/NSF 61 and ANSI/NSF 372.
Mueller's new resilient wedge gate valve is available through Mueller Co.'s extensive waterworks distribution system. For more information, please visit the Company's website: www.muellercompany.com.

Ponytail Hairstyle – Jewel
Date: 2011-12-09 : The ponytail never seems to really go out of style. Sometimes we want our hair out of face but don't exactly want a flat, stuck to our head ponytail. Jewel shows that a ponytail can be dressed up. Jewel's hair has first been all loosely curled either with hot rollers or a big curling iron. The top of her hair has then been lightly teased to give her the lift and height. Finally it was pulled back into this loose ponytail. If you want to hide the ponytail band, a piece of your hair from the ponytail may be used to wrap around it and then bobby pinned in place.Read more
