I've been seeing one of my friend's exes. She was a very close friend years ago, but our relationship has dwindled. They were broken up for two years before we got together, but my friend was totally in love with him when they were dating, he broke her heart, and it took her a very long time to get over him, even when she has had other boyfriends, she was still hung up on him.
I thought it was just going to be a fling, so I didn't think it would be worth it to create a situation and the inevitable drama it would cause. So we kept it on the DL. Now it's been 6 months, and we've become more serious than initially anticipated. He told me the ball was totally in my court as to when to tell her about us, since they didn't maintain a friendship after the breakup. Well, my friend recently got dumped and is sending flirty text messages to my boyfriend/her ex. He messaged her back saying he was seeing someone, she claimed her messaging was all innocent, but now she keeps trying to get him to hang out with her and give her attention. Her persistence is definitely affecting our relationship. Do I tell her? How do I tell her? Do I walk away?
—To tell or not to tell
So, don't rip up my NOW card (that's National Organization for Women) or anything, but I've never been a big believer in the "Girl Code," aka the unspoken rule that friends should never sleep with anyone their friends have slept with. First of all, it's impractical. That rule diminishes your spank bank by at least 30 percent! Second, it's unrealistic. More often than not, we tend to sleep with people in our friend circles. Why? Well, there's a reason that they're our friends. We share mutual interests. We get along. We've already surpassed the awkward small-talk stage of pretending to be interested in their job as an insurance adjuster. It makes sense that sometimes these commonalities translate to the dating realm as well. And that's a reality that far too many of us deny because we're jealous and insecure and needy and possessive of those we've dated or who've seen us naked.
That said, I'm not a total monster. I don't think dating should resemble a Wild West free-for-all where everybody has erections but not feelings. Nor do I think you should throw away friendships willy-nilly, especially not for the sake of some fling putting his willy in your nilly. In other words, casual sex is never worth throwing away an important friendship. But in your case, I'd say it's pretty cut and dry. A considerable amount of time has passed, your friendship with the girl has "dwindled," and the ex in question is someone you're now calling your boyfriend.
You're far past the point where you can try to simply ignore the situation and hope it goes away. And why would you? It has been two-and-a-half years since your friend dated your boyfriend. Unless you want to keep your relationship a secret indefinitely, it's time to air that shit out, and it's better if it comes from you than someone else. It will be awkward, but it will probably get your friend to stop with the flirty advances and help her realize her ex is off-limits now.
How you decide to tell her I'll leave up to you, but be prepared to deal with the fallout. She might not want to talk to you for a while, or possibly ever. She might feel hurt or betrayed. If possible, resist making excuses about the situation or going on the offensive. Stick to simple truths. "I really like him. He makes me happy." Be sympathetic too. She was recently dumped and is trying to cope with that— perhaps not in the healthiest of ways, but getting over a breakup sometimes necessitates less-than-stellar behavior. Good luck!

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Tristan Archer pitched Tech's first complete game of the season, hurling for nine innings in game one of Friday's double-header on the road against the Eagles of Morehead State. Archer notched 10 strikeouts in 35 batters face, surrendering five earned runs on eight hits.
The Golden Eagle offense, meanwhile, held the lead for the entire game, but busted the seams with an eight run fifth inning that gave them a 10-1 lead headed into the bottom of the frame.
Tech put up two runs in the top of the first courtesy of Casanova Donaldson's third home run of the season and second in consecutive games. The two-shot long ball followed Austin Wulf's leadoff single and gave the Golden Eagles a quick 2-0 lead.
Morehead didn't score until the bottom of the third on a double by Austin Haney and a two-out single by Luke Bainer, cutting the lead to one, but were winded in the top of the eighth with an eight run frame by Tech.
MSU starter Trey Smith retired Tevis Sherfield for the first out of the fifth, but gave up back to back walks to Wulf and Donaldson to bring up three-hole hitter Chad Oberacker. Oberacker laced one over the right field wall to put Tech up 5-1 and bringing up Zach Stephens. Stephen's single and a walk to Chad Hayes brought in reliever Tyler Heinman, who promptly loaded the bases with a walk to Ben Burgess.
Devin Rivers brought in a run with a bases loaded single and a wild pitch saw Hayes across the plate before Michael Morris ripped the second homer of the inning, a three-shot ball into right center before MSU could stifle the next two consecutive batters.
The Golden Eagles saw 11 at-bats in the fifth, putting up eight runs on four hits and four walks to take a 10-1 lead. Morris went 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI to lead Tech in game one, while Donaldson chipped in with a 2-for-4, two-run two-RBI effort.
The Eagles responded with two runs in the bottom of the fifth thanks to a single by Haney followed by a homer by Travis Redmon, and put single runs up in each the sixth and eighth innings to make the final score 10-5 in favor of the Golden Eagles.
Redmon's 1-for-3 performance yielded the only multi-RBI show of the day for Morehead, as he brought in two runs to lead the scoring. Haney and ___ Davis each went 2-for-4 at the plate, with one of Davis' hits working for an RBI.
Archer improved to 5-4 after his complete game, while Smith shouldered the loss, falling to 0-8 on the year in 4.1 innings of work.
Game two saw a turn of the tables however as Morehead's Garrick Whittle pitched a complete seven-inning contest, striking out 12 Golden Eagle batters and giving up just three runs on eight hits and two walks.
This time Morehead took the first lead, jumping out 4-0 on Tech in the bottom of the first, loading the bases with the first three batters of the line-up for Andrew Deeds' two-shot single into right field. With two left on and one out posted, Nick Duff roped a double down the right field line for two more RBI to put the Eagles on top.
Tech remained scoreless until a solo run in the fourth inning while Morehead built their lead to 6-0 in the bottom of the third. A hit by Deeds followed by two walks loaded the bases again, but the first run came in on a balk while the second was courtesy of an RBI groundout.
Evan Frazier and Devin Rivers combined for Tech's first run of game two, as Frazier worked a double off of Whittle and scored on Rivers' RBI single through the right side, but again went scoreless until the top of the seventh.
With a score of 6-1, MSU extended their lead with another solo-run inning in the bottom of the fifth, heading into the final two innings with a comfortable 7-1 lead.
Both teams went scoreless in the sixth, but Tech threatened to rally in the top of the seventh when Zach Stephens ripped a two-out, one on homer to cut the lead to its final 7-3. Unfortunately, Frazier couldn't keep the momentum going as his fly-out worked for the third of the inning.
Stephens went 1-for-4 in game two with two RBI, and Donaldson and Rivers each with 2-for-3 with River's notching the other RBI of the contest.
Matthew Shepherd was tagged for the loss for Tech, falling to 2-4 on the year and earning three Ks in 17 batters faced. Garrett Baugh pitched the final three innings for Tech, giving up one run on two hits and striking out one.
The two teams will meet again on Saturday in another 11 a.m. start for game three of the series.

Learning to drive is an exciting time for teenagers and their parents. It opens up many options for a young person, but it also carries risks. Young people between ages 15 and 24 have the highest rate of auto-related deaths. The rate is the highest for young men.
Parents and teens should be aware of problem areas and take steps to avoid hazards.
Alternative Names
Driving and teenagers; Teens and safe driving; Automobile safety - teenage drivers
Make a Commitment to Safety
Teens also need to commit to being safe and responsible drivers in order improve the odds in their favor.
- Reckless driving is still a danger to teens --even with automobile safety features.
- All new drivers should take a drivers education course. These courses can reduce crashes.
Drivers and passengers should use automobile safety features at all times. These include: seat belts, shoulder straps, and headrests. Only drive carsthat haveair bags, padded dashes, safety glass, collapsible steering columns, and anti-lock brakes.
Auto accidents are also a leading cause of death in infants and children. Infants and young children should be properly buckled into a
Avoid Distracted Driving
Distractions are a problem for all drivers. Do not use cell phones for talking, texting, and email when you are driving.
- Mobile phones should be turned off when driving so you are not be tempted to make calls or answer the phone.
- If phones are left on for emergency use, pull off of the road before answering or texting.
Other tips include:
- Avoid putting on makeup while driving, even when stopped at a light or stop sign, itcan be dangerous.
- Finish eating before starting your car and driving.
Driving with friends can lead to accidents.
- Teens are safer driving alone or with family. For the first 6 months, teens should drive with an adult driver who can help them learn good driving habits.
- New drivers should wait should wait at least 3to 6 months before taking friends as passengers.
Teenage-related driving deaths occur more often in certain conditions.
Other safety tips for teens
- Reckless driving is still a danger, even when using seatbelts. Dont rush. It safer to be late.
- Avoid driving at nighttime. Your driving skills and reflexes are just developing during the first months of driving. Darkness adds an extra factor to cope with.
- When drowsy, stop driving until fully alert. Sleepiness may cause more accidents than alcohol.
- Never drink and drive. Drinking slows reflexes and hurts judgment. These effects happen to anyone who drinks. So, NEVER drink and drive. ALWAYS find someone to drive who has not been drinking -- even if this means making an uncomfortable phone call.
- Drugs can be just as dangerous as alcohol. Dont mix driving with marijuana, other illegal drugs or any prescribed medicine that makes you sleepy.
Parents should talk with their teens about "household driving rules."
- Make a written "driving contract" that both parents and teens sign.
- The contract should list the rules and what teens can expect if rules are broken.
- The contract should state that parents have the final say about driving rules.
- When writing the contract, take into account all the driving issues that are likely to come up.
Parents can do the following to help prevent teens from drinking and driving:
- Tell their teens to call rather than get in a car with a driver who has been drinking or when they have been drinking. Promise no punishment if they call first.
Some children continue to mix driving and drinking. In many states the parent must sign for a teenager under 18 to get a drivers license. At any time before the 18th birthday a parent can refuse responsibility and the state will take the license.

*MOJO* - BOS vs NYY Five Day 1
The Yankees come to town for a huge 5 game series at the Fens this weekend. With how these teams have been playing, this is a virtual ALDS for the American League East... except it's only August.
The first game of today's double header features a matchup of phallic proportions, as Johnson faces Wang. The two will try and pound the zone, and hope their balls don't get batted around or stroked too deep. The one who can keep the ball down and in will most likely come out on top. Despite their differences, there is one thing the two will certainly agree on: they are happy that there are no childish individuals who would make crude innuendos for their game today.
As for why the five fingers for today: Jason Johnson has yet to find any success in a Boston uniform, despite his talent. He isn't this bad. He just needs to remember how to pitch effectively, which is stored deep in his muscle memory. And if that doesn't work, he can still win the crowd over at least by delivering a message to the Yankees.
What did the five fingers say to the face?
A-ha ha ha. It's a celebration, bitches.

Aaron McGowan has a new post to his blog that looks at the work he's done interfacing with the Bing Maps API to do some geocoding for Emitter.ca.
One of the key features which was required for Emitter.ca, was the ability to geocode search terms like street addresses, cities, and postal codes, that a user enters so that Emitter.ca could easily return facilities that are nearby. To do this, we leveraged Bing Maps's API for performing the Geocode lookup. Microsoft offers a variety of APIs for allowing your application to interact with Bing Maps, however, for Geocoding search terms, we utilized Bing's SOAP API.
He shares the class he uses to pull the information out of the Bing Maps SOAP response and push the details into the properties of a class. The simpel class made interfacing with the API an easy task and allowed for string-based lookups on just about anywhere (like "Toronto, Ontario").

Small Cool 2010: Lindsay's Little Box
Who Lives Here: Lindsay
Location: Fort Greene — Brooklyn, NYC
Size: 350 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home?The fact that I carved distinct sleeping, eating and living areas out of my little box of an apartment. It's nice to have the separate areas even if they are just inches apart from one another.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? Dealing with a tiny rectangular room with very little wall space that you can actually put furniture up against was a huge challenge. I was saved by floor planning software that allowed me to spend many dorky hours playing with the placement of the furniture I was thinking about purchasing. It was difficult to find just the right pieces to fit the space and I was sorry I didn't have the flexibility to get a couple of funkier vintage pieces. It was also challenging to avoid using too many bright colors. I love color but I need soothing colors to be able to sleep. With no separate bedroom I had to tone the whole place down a notch, but I'm glad I managed to squeeze a few bright pieces in.

David Cameron Says People Aren't Radicalized By Poverty Or Foreign Policy, But By Free Speech Online, So ISPs Agree To Censor Button
from the censor-now! dept
And now it appears that a bunch of big UK broadband access providers have agreed to play along:
The UK's major Internet service providers – BT, Virgin, Sky and Talk Talk – have this week committed to host a public reporting button for terrorist material online, similar to the reporting button which allows the public to report child sexual exploitation.I love the term "radicalising material" as if it's the material itself that has the power to magically turn mild-mannered Brits into violent jihadis just by appearing on their screens. That's not how it works. Yet some have such an irrational fear of the power of words we disagree with that it must be prevented from anyone ever seeing it.
They have also agreed to ensure that terrorist and extremist material is captured by their filters to prevent children and young people coming across radicalising material.
Also, the comparison to child porn is a common one, but wrong. Images of sexually exploited children are not a judgment call issue, for the most part. It's an obvious thing. "Extremist" material or "terrorist" material, on the other hand, is almost entirely subjective. And, over time, the definition of what counts always seems to expand, rather than contract. And that doesn't even take into account how many people will simply choose to use such buttons to try to censor any sort of content they dislike.
David Cameron seems quite excited about turning an open and free internet into a closed and censored space, where only content he likes is allowed:
Addressing a special sitting of federal parliament, Cameron said: "We must not allow the internet to be an ungoverned space".Why? What's wrong with letting people speak their minds? The whole "terrorism!" claim is overplayed:
"In both our countries we have seen some of our young people radicalised, going off to fight in Iraq and Syria, and even appalling plots to murder innocent people back in our own countries."Yes, but perhaps you should look at the root causes of why that's happening? But Cameron insists it can't possibly be poverty or UK foreign policy:
"And let us be frank. It's not poverty, though of course our nations are united in tackling deprivation wherever it exists. It's not exclusion from the mainstream. Of course we have more to do but we are both successful multicultural democracies where opportunities abound.Hmm. So disagreeing with foreign policy cannot justify terrorist outrages... but, apparently it can justify blatant censorship. Because, apparently, the only possible reason why people are radicalized is because they read something on the internet. David Cameron insists that's the case:
"And it's not foreign policy. I can show you examples all over the world where British aid and British action have saved millions of Muslim lives, from Kosovo to Syria – but that is not exactly the real point. In our democracies, we must never give in to the idea that disagreeing with a foreign policy in any way justifies terrorist outrages."
The root cause was in fact the "extremist narrative", Cameron said.So he presents no actual evidence, but completely waves off poverty and disagreements over UK foreign policy as being non-factors -- and then automatically assumes that the problem is "extremist" speech online? Incredible.
This meant "we must ban extremist preachers from our country, we must root out extremism from our schools, universities and prisons", as well as dealing with the internet.
And the end result is pure censorship. How long until calling it censorship is considered an "extremist" position as well?

A man was fatally shot as he parked his car in his garage in the Bridgeport neighborhood this morning and at least six people were wounded in overnight shootings across Chicago, police said.
Bai Wei Wang, 55, of the 3000 block of South Haynes Court, was declared dead at 3:50 a.m. at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. The man was shot in the lower back at about 12:40 a.m. in an alley in the 3000 block of South Haynes Court, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a police spokesman, citing early reports.
The man was taken to Stroger Hospital, initially in critical condition, police said.
The man was pulling into his garage when someone shot through at least one of his car windows, wounding him, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez.
Neighbors heard shots and looked out to see a dark-colored van speeding north in the alley, Perez said.
When officers arrived, they found the man in his vehicle, shot in the back, Perez said, citing early police information.
Police had no motive in the shooting and no one in custody.
A boy, 17, and a man, 21, walked into St. Anthony Hospital after they were shot early this morning, police said. The two told police they were driving in the 3500 block of West 25th Street when a white SUV with three people inside pulled up near them and someone inside shot at them, Perez said.
The boy was wounded in the leg, the man in the shoulder, Perez said.
At about 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, two men were shot as they stood in an alley behind the 5200 block of West Potomac Avenue in the North Austin neighborhood, police said.
A 30-year-old man was hit in the left side of the head and the abdomen and taken to Stroger in critical condition, Alfaro said. A 25-year-old man wounded in the upper chest was also taken to Stroger, where his condition was stabilized.
Earlier, just before 10:30 p.m., a gunman inside an SUV opened fire on two teens, 17 and 18, who were shooting hoops on a basketball court near a school in the 7600 block of North Marshfield Avenue in the Rogers Park neighborhood.
The 17-year-old was struck in the left arm, while the older teen suffered a graze wound to the buttocks, police said.
Both were taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where they were listed in good condition, Alfaro said.
Police suspect the North Austin and Rogers Park shootings were gang-related but hadn't made any arrests.

Atlanta Motor Speedway Announces New Public Hospitality Ticket Upgrade
Already one of the few tracks in NASCAR to offer a tent-covered, pre-race gathering for race fans inside the track, Atlanta Motor Speedway is presenting customers the opportunity to gain even more access and amenities in 2013 with the announcement of the High Speed Hospitality ticket upgrade for ticket holders of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AdvoCare 500, Sunday, Sept. 1 at AMS.
For only $60 per person, the AdvoCare 500 hospitality upgrade gives purchasers an infield hospitality package which includes a pit tour prior to the race, food and beverage, entertainment by a live DJ and a cash bar. Menu items for the afternoon include hot dogs, sirloin burgers, fried chicken, coleslaw, potato salad, corn on the cob, peach pie, iced tea and lemonade.
Spectator gates for the AdvoCare 500 will open at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1, and the hospitality tent will open at 3:00 p.m. Pit tours will be offered from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., with the hospitality tent closing at 8:00 p.m., just following the green flag of the AdvoCare 500.
Fans will enter the infield at the turn three tunnel for hospitality village, and must have both the hospitality pass and a grandstand ticket to the AdvoCare 500.

Guy Passing Out Pamphlets In Front Of Court Indicted For 'Jury Tampering'
from the jury-nullification dept
It should be admitted that the guy appears to be... a bit of a crackpot in how he's responded to attempts to stop him from handing out these pamphlets, including collapsing to the ground and having to be taken to a hospital (and later suing the hospitals). He also apparently refused to issue any plea in this latest case, and at one point simply sat there silently looking down, leading the judge to ask if he was asleep (he was not).
That said, there are serious First Amendment issues raised by this. Jury tampering laws are designed to protect against someone tampering with specific juries, trying to influence the direct outcome. But that's not at all what was happening in either of these two stories. In both cases, it just involved people handing out pamphlets to the general population outside a courtroom, explaining the concepts of jury nullification. That should not be seen as tampering at all. I mean, it's just as easy for someone to sit at home and read about jury nullification online. Why should it be illegal to tell people about it in front of a courthouse?

How some Depression-era projects were funded
Recently, I read some grumbling on the Hoptown Hall about a couple of grants that supposedly are approved for Hopkinsville. Some citizens are unhappy about the amount of local matching money that will be required to construct a foot bridge over Little River and a public restroom along our future rails-to-trails project.
These are Federal "stimulus" grants (I think, could be wrong), so I wondered how the 50/50 ratio of Federal to local funding compared to the Depression-era projects of the W.P.A., P.W.A., etc. that were completed around Hopkinsville.
In the Google News Archives, I found a Kentucky New Era article from January 1, 1937. It lists many public projects underway and in planning. The article states that the mayor intended the improvement of Seventh Street "from city limit to city limit" (U.S. Route 68) to be financed entirely with federal funds. Other projects mentioned in the article include:
→ Sewer system and disposal plant improvements
Total cost: $405,000 / Federal funding: $182,454
→ High school auditorium with seating capacity of 900; Virginia Street School auditorium and four classrooms
Total cost: $55,000 / Federal funding: 45%
→ New bridge on North Main; street improvements on North Main; street improvements on South Main from 1st to 9th Street (downtown area)
Total cost: $79,000 / Federal and state funding: $70,900
→ War Memorial Drive built in Riverside Cemetery
Total cost: $2000 / Federal funding: $1800
→ Ninth Street Bridge
Total cost: $26,000 / Federal funding: $22,000
The article also listed some WPA projects that were approved, though not yet begun. No breakdown is given of the origin of the funds, but it's interesting (as a resident of the area) to see what the projects were.
Completion of Walnut Street from the bridge to the Twenty-first Street intersection; and Tenth Street from Walnut to Campbell; Virginia Street from Sixth Street to Twenty-fourth Street; Main Street from Ninth to Alumni Avenue; Canton Street from Fifteenth Street to city Limits; Jessup Avenue from Seventh Street to city limits; Fourteenth Street from Main to Walnut; construction of a stone building at Ninth and Belmont Streets as a permanent home for the Red Cross with the total cost $3450; painting, roofing and general repair work on the Public Library, total cost of $2886; on Fire Station, total cost $1809; on jail-workhouse, total cost $921. (Source: "Many Have Work on City Projects", Kentucky New Era, January 1, 1937)
Some of Hopkinsville's residents contributed directly to street work as well as contributing through taxes. In March 1938, the Kentucky New Era reported that residents of Virginia Street would pay 87¢ per foot for the curbing and guttering along their property fronts, as part of the street improvement project. The total cost to the city for the paving was expected to be $12,000-$15,000.
announced that the Virginia Street project had exhausted current city funds for street-building. Main Street residents would pay considerably more for their curbing and guttering than the Virginia Street residents had paid -- if the project ever came to be.
The citizens of Hopkinsville in 1937 couldn't rant on an internet forum, but I'll bet the street-building projects were discussed thoroughly in every public forum of their day.
At right: South Main Street in Hopkinsville, today. Looking north toward the intersection of 9th and Main.

You're bringing up codes again???
Come on, there is a reason these codes have been written. They have been written by people who are experienced with this stuff and know many of the various failure modes. The write the code so that inexperienced twerps like you and me can safely install this stuff and avoid the various failure modes we are not familier with.
So, when you ever find your self questioning why a certain code is in place, that means your in over your head (in terms of the subject matter) and you need to just follow code.
And keep in mind, code isn't written just to safe-guard you. Code is written to help safe-guard the next person that is going to own your house. Say you're going to live in your house forever? Based on what. We've seen what the economy can do... and one day, contrary to what anyone might tell you, you will die. If you haven't demolished the home by them, it will becomes someone else's responsibility.

EVERYTHING isn't required to be 18" down. As an example, phone lines and cable tv lines (at least the ones leading to your house) are never burried that deep. 6 inches is a maybe. But then again, these are not lines that risk life and limb should they be hit.
And just because those that came before you is no reason to skip following code.
For one, it might not be an utter lack of respect for the code, but someone making a mistake, basically two contractors not properly coordinating. For example, I used to work for the phone company and would hear stories where phone lines would get laid in a new developent, but then a landscape contractor would come through afterwards and dig up the usually shallow phone cables.
I can see similar things happening when it comes to installing other utilities. The utility comes in and installs utilities according to code. But at the time, landscaping was only rough. Final landscaping would then alter the depths of these utilities. But then, a part of trying to keep everyone save is the "Call before you dig" program is so that you'll know where to be careful.
Of course, I'll admit that the other side of the coin is that everyone is trying to get things done on the cheap and things do not get "properly" installed because of shotty work. But from what I've seen of building codes, they somewhat take that sort of thing into account. As an example, a part of the reason most utuilities are supposed to be 18" deep is so that a combination of some shotty installs and later landscaping might at least keep these utilities at a relatively safe depth.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), an experiment aboard the International Space Station, is searching for evidence of dark matter and antimatter as it collects billions of cosmic rays in Earth orbit. AMS uses powerful magnets to capture and sort the electrically charged cosmic rays and other particles, which reveal clues about many of the mysteries of the universe. [NASA]
You are here
Bits of antimatter stream through space like a steady drizzle. They may come from the spinning stellar corpses known as pulsars. Or they could come from collisions of particles of dark matter.
The drizzle was measured by AMS, an instrument aboard the International Space Station. It's a giant magnet that directs incoming particles into a set of detectors.
AMS has three main goals. One is to study cosmic rays, which are shot into space by exploding stars and other powerful objects. A second is to search for evidence that antimatter was created in the Big Bang by looking for anti-helium — a search that so far has come up empty. And a third is to look for dark matter.
Dark matter produces no detectable energy, but reveals its presence by exerting a gravitational tug on the visible matter around it. There is much more dark matter than normal matter. It likely consists of some type of subatomic particle, but there are several ideas for what type of particle.
One is called the neutralino. If these particles collide, they should annihilate each other, producing positrons — the antimatter version of electrons.
Earlier space missions had already detected positrons. But AMS has measured them with a higher level of precision, and in far greater numbers. One possible source is pulsars. But another is dark matter. Continued observations should help scientists pick between the two choices — perhaps solving the mystery of dark matter.

Question: I have two small dogs and two cats and we are thinking about moving to the Sierra foothills. I understand we need to protect our pets from coyotes and mountain lions. I have researched your website (Keep Me Wild) and the Internet and received many suggestions, but I have some questions for which I have not found answers. Assuming I follow all suggestions (leave no food/water out at night, cut down brush, provide no shelter, etc.):
- Are there any fences or other types of barriers that will protect my unattended pets completely at any hour, especially dawn, dusk and night?
- If not, will the pets be safe unattended in a well-fenced yard during the day?
- Can cats ever go outside, if the area is fenced in?
Thanks for any help. (Catherine)
Answer: For your dogs to be absolutely safe outside unattended at any time of day or night, you should consider building a kennel. According to Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Associate Wildlife Biologist Jeff Cann, the kennel should have a cement floor to prevent predators from digging in and stout wrought iron or chain link fence sides and top to prevent a lion from jumping or climbing into the pen. Other types of fences work pretty well but have problems when built next to a hill or if they traverse a creek drainage, etc.
If you build a perimeter fence around your yard, it should be at least eight feet tall (wire or steel) and at the top of that have an outlying section that is two to three feet long, attached at a 45 degree angle to the top, similar to security fences. This makes it harder (but not impossible) for lions to enter because they have to move vertically and horizontally at the same time (which they can do). The fence should be well-anchored so animals cannot pry it up or dig under it. Wood fences are easy for a lion to climb, so that's why we recommended the kennel first. It only takes an overhanging tree limb or a tree to fall on a weak perimeter fence, and your pets are no longer secure.
Well-constructed kennel kits are usually available at places like Costco, and many feed stores carry panels that connect together to make any size kennel you want.
Cats going outside would be safest midday, but it's not a sure thing. They too need a stout enclosure to be absolutely safe from bobcats, coyotes and lions.
The only sure-fire thing to be sure your pets remain safe is to leave all pets indoors, all the time. However, lions have even been known to break through screened porches to get small dogs.
In addition to trying to protect your pets from predators, keep in mind that even your common house cat can turn predator toward the wild birds in your area and significantly impact songbird (passerine) bird populations. Scientists from the Audubon Society estimate that free-roaming cats (owned, stray and feral) kill hundreds of millions of birds and possibly more than a billion small mammals in the U.S.each year. To lessen these impacts and ensure your cats stay safe, it's best to keep them indoors all of the time.
Glow stick bobbers
Is it legal to use a two-inch sealed chemical glow stick on a bobber while fishing catfish at night? It wouldn't be underwater or near the hook. It would be used as a strike indicator only. (Paul)
Answer: Yes, using a glow stick as a strike indicator would be legal.
Pending citation?
Question: I received a ticket on May 11 of this year but have not received any notes about my fine. Should I just go to the court at the address listed on the ticket? (Ginsue Y.)
Answer: Yes, you must contact the court on or prior to the date shown on your copy of the citation. According to DFG Lt. Todd Tognazzini, many courts in California send out formal courtesy notices with further instructions about how to handle your ticket, but some do not. This notice often provides instructions about your options which may include paying a fine through the mail or appearing before the court. Many courts also have an online method for handling citations. When you were cited, you were provided a specific date on which to appear in court. If you have not heard from the court and an online search or call to the court does not help, it is critical to appear on the date and time indicated on your citation. Failure to do so may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest.
