New York City is overwhelming on many levels. So many people, skyscrapers, taxi cabs, restaurants, and — as clearly evidenced in Times Square — advertisements.
On my visit last fall, I was taken aback by the volume of messages I saw, everywhere I turned. I didn't believe that consumers see between 300 and 5,000 messages each day– until I walked down West 42nd St. and was met with the commercial capital of the world: Times Square.
While the ads in Times Square are sure to be seen by millions of tourists everyday, I had to wonder, does anyone really see them? Looking back, I couldn't tell you what one ad was actually promoting.
Like many other consumers, I have gotten pretty skilled at tuning out all the advertising noise (Hello, TiVo!). So how do marketers grab our attention?
The one ad I do remember is an interactive webcam transmitting fellow Times Square goers on screen. Wanting my 5 minutes of fame, I made sure to make my way on camera. There was even an interactive beach ball on screen to top it all off. Interactivity helps break up the monotony of the everyday and forces participation and awareness.
Had there been a personalized message, say, with my name scrolling across like the NASDAQ ticker, I would have snapped to attention. Unfortunately, there was no special 'Dear Kendra Komejan' message, and as such, no ad made a lasting impression. Everyone loves to feel like they are special and unique; worthy of being spoken to directly.
While NYC may be one of the country's most ad-saturated cities, it's advertisements failed to really hold my attention or make a substantial mark on my memory. Sorry to disappoint the countless ad agencies in the city…!
What types of ads do you typically remember? Are there specific advertisements that have made an impact on you?

I understand that on a forum all we have are opinions, and the trouble is that lots of things can be argued adn sound valid; proof is something else. So I agree with you about fact -- or let's say evidence. Where are the _ing __un fighters that can hit powerfully while fighting? They don't exist. And that's because they can't hit powerfully while fighting.Quote:

Boxing's body mechanics take into account someone trying to hit them, takes into account defensive movement, opening angles for attacks, etc. The movement as a whole not only is for generating power but for avoiding getting hit, what I mean bu functional power. As an example, the karate reverse punch (hand on hip) is powerful, but not functional since the hand on the hip exposes them to attacks, so they can never get it off. It's functionally better to have your hands up for protection. The _ing __un punch, the chain punching, etc. might have power and might work if the guy just stands there, but he's not going to just stand there, and the mechanics of the chain punch will leave you exposed (since you can't move your head doing them, you can't keep your chin tucked, you are committed forward so you can't make quick changes of angle, etc.).
I've seen and felt the _ing __un one inch punch. Yeah, it can be powerful. But no one is going to pull it off in a fight with anyone skilled (it's a parlor trick like breaking boards). They won't be able to set it up, his target won't be standing still, etc. You don't have to take my word for it -- if someone can do it, let's see it. Is that so much to ask? So far, we haven't seen anyone that can make that punch or chain punching work in fighting, against anyone good. It really comes down to evidence versus conjecture. People can keep saying it will work, it should work, it works for me, etc. but we never see any evidence of these things. Why? For the simple reason that no such evidence exists. With all the _ing __un people out there, why is there no evidence? For the simple reason, that it doesn't work.

Finding Multiplier of Constants
Date: 8/5/96 at 13:29:19 From: SunjayMishra Subject: Finding Multiplier of Constants Hello! This is an equation that I saw in a SAT book that I did not understand: X = a^2/b^2c If n = 1/3x, then n is the value that results when the positive numbers a,b,c in the expression above are each multiplied by which of the following: a) 1/9 b) 1/3 c) 3 d) 9 e) 27 I would also appreciate it if you could e-mail me some educational sites, such as an Internet public library, that are free to use. Thanks for the help!
Date: 8/5/96 at 17:29:6 From: Doctor Paul Subject: Re: Finding Multiplier of Constants Okay... here's the idea. You want to multiply a, b, and c by some number and then have that return X/3 after you simplify it out. Let's do it: I'm going to call the number we are looking for 'P' X (a*P)^2 --- = --------------- 3 (b*P)^2 * (c*P) X a^2 * P^2 --- = ------------------ 3 b^2 * P^3 * c X a^2 --- = ---------- 3 P * b^2 * c Now we make a substitution: let's look at something that was given in the definition: a^2 X = -------- b^2*c plug that into the right side of our equation: X X --- = --- 3 P so P equals three. That's your answer. It corresponds with letter 'C' >I would also appreciate it if you could e-mail me some educational >sites, such as an internet public library, that are free to use. Why not try doing a net search for public libraries? Go here: http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=public+libraries I hope this answers your SAT question.

Benjamin LAMPHIER b 9 May 1771,supposedly in RI came to STEUBEN CO. NY about 1810 with his wife Sarah.Her surname is unknown to me.
With them came daughter Louisa b 1796 in CT,
sons Benjamin b 1799 also in CT and Henry believed also to have been born in CT in 1807.A daughter Sarah whose birth place is undetermined also may have been in the original party as well as daugther Mary.
A youger son and daughter Samuel and Rosanna were born in Steuben co.Other than knowing of events that occurred involving all of these people I've never been able to actually
prove the existed.All of the suggested dates for births,deaths,marriages and the like seem to have gone unrecorded and thus undocumented with the exception of a few late deaths.Benjamin,Sr himself has been mixed up and confused with Alpheus Sr. largely because of a remarkable similarity in thier dobs and dods,however I doubt thier paths ever crossed and they are not twin brothers as suggested by some experts.He has often been confused with later generations.He has besides his son Benjamin,a grandson and a great grandson all by the same name .Anyone with any usable information on this family is urged to contact me,hopefully I'll be accessable here for a while.Thanks

"Wrap Your Rod Around My 36G-Cups"
Featuring: Tatiana Blair and J Mac
Date: March 28th, 2010
Duration: 21:42
The intro alone to this fresh SCORELAND video is amazing. College co-ed Tatiana Blair is making huge waves and this video, "Wrap Your Rod Around My 36G-Cups," will cement her popularity. Just look at that gorgeous face and those huge jigglers. Tatiana is only 4'10" and 120 pounds. She instinctively knows exactly what breast-men want. Her pom-poms are extremely pliable and she can suck her own nipples easily, as she demonstrates. "I'm ready now," says Tatiana, sitting on the bed after her body show. "I'm ready to get fucked." JMac has made a lot of busty delights at the SCORE studio but this time he's got his hands packed full with the motherlode of young, massive melons. The image of Tatiana's hands-free BJ, her cups dangling straight down, should be hanging in a museum. And the sight of Tatiana wrapping her congas around his dick for a boobie-fuck is a magnificent one.

Ranks up there in the top 5 Scoreland videos of all time for me, and I've seen
them all. This girl has everything, beautiful tits, a beautiful face, those
beautiful, innocent "Fuck Me" eyes, and she looks like she's totally into
sucking, tit-fucking, and fucking this guy throughout the entire video. An
instant classic. Haven't gotten tired of watching it after about 20 times now.

Beautiful little (very little!! plumper.
Great smile, sexy body, pleasant friendly attitude.

While it appears County Commissioner Todd Johnson has not made any efforts to ease the burdens on Union County businesses, NC House Representative Craig Horn has.
In 2009 a state law was passed which requires equestrian centers to adhere to the same building code standards as other commercial businesses. It is the responsibility of the Union County government to enforce this law. For many equestrian businesses in Union County the costs associated with meeting the new compliance standards could force these businesses to close.
Horn introduced a bill, HB329, that adds equestrian centers to the list of businesses exempt from the 2009 law. Last Monday night, the Union County county commissioners unanimously passed a motion directing staff to draft a resolution in support of HB329.
Considering Johnson's campaign promises to eliminate unnecessary government constraints on businesses, it should be expected that Johnson would propose a resolution in support of Bill 329. He did not.
The commissioner who recognized and acted upon an opportunity to support Union County businesses was Tracy Kuehler. Kuehler proposed the resolution. She was able to lead commissioners to unanimous support of the resolution.
Horn cited the commission's resolution while making his case for passage of the bill on the house floor. Horn was able to lead the NC House to unanimous support of the bill.
Thomas Paine said that those involved in the political process should, "lead, follow, or, get out of the way." Union County should appreciate Horn's leadership and his efforts in this matter as well as Kuehler's support of those efforts. At most, Union County can only thank Johnson for once again "getting out of the way."

On April 27, a pair of former Strikeforce light heavyweights will make their octagon debuts against one another in Newark, New Jersey when Ovince St. Preux and Gian Villante fight at UFC 159 according to Newsday.
When he returns to the cage, St. Preux will be 30-years-old and looking to begin a new winning streak to kick off his 2013. The University of Tennessee graduate and former Volunteers football player made a name for himself in mixed martial arts in 2010 when he reeled off six consecutive wins. During that streak, three took place in Strikeforce when he defeated Chris Hawk, Antwain Britt and Benji Radach. His streak continued in 2011 with wins over Abongo Humphrey and Joe Cason.
In the biggest fight of OSP's career, he suffered a decision loss against former champion Gegard Mousasi, but he rebounded last summer with a knockout of T.J. Cook.
His opponent this spring will be 27-year-old Long Island, New York native Villante. The former heavyweight played football and wrestled at Hofstra University. Most recently, he told a story of how in 2006 he sacked then-University of Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco in a game. Of course, Flacco led the Baltimore Ravens to an NFL Super Bowl 47 win earlier this month, and now Villante is preparing for his first fight in the UFC.
Villante began his MMA career in 2009 as a heavyweight, going on to win the Ring of Combat championship one year later. He debuted in Strikeforce in a heavyweight grand prix reserve bout where he lost to Chad Griggs. With that defeat, he permanently dropped to light heavyweight and lost a decision to Lorenz Larkin. However, the summer 0f 2011 brought him his first win in the promotion, a unanimous decision over Keith Berry. Last year, he knocked out Trevor Smith and bested Derrick Mehmen in a decision.
With the addition of many former Strikeforce fighters to the ranks of the UFC, it is imperative to win or at least make an extremely good impression to avoid being cut.
UFC 159 in April will feature a light heavyweight championship in the main event between Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen. Also announced for the main card are the following fights: Phil Davis vs. Vinny Magalhaes, Roy Nelson vs. Cheick Kongo and Michael Bisping vs. Alan Belcher.
What are your thoughts?

I agree witht the first point - bacteria, for example, do not age as there *must* be an unbroken chain of cells from the beginning of the bacterial life to today. The germline of higher organisms can be seen similarly as an "immortal" clone. (Immortal is in quotes because there was a heated debate in this group about the appropriateness of using that word to talk about cells - it is used purely in its narrow biological sense). It is on the basis of this argument that it has been proposed that life does not necessarily need to age. Ageing can then be seen as either 1) a process that is not actively prevented in the somatic cells of multicellular organisms, perhaps because that would be too metabolically expensive; 2) or as a process that is actively encouraged in the somatic tissue of multicellular organisms to allow the turnover of generations that is demanded by evolution. > 2) Do all multicellular organisms age?

Expansion of the SafetyNET p Infrastructure
At present there are two different switch segments available. The unmanaged low layer switches (SLL) are suitable for smaller networks, whereas the configured high layer switches (SHL) allow for larger networks and comprehensive diagnosis possibilities. In order to meet the consistently increasing demand for availability, an interruption in communication at a certain point in the ring is given an alternative communication path through the standby path. Using this method, data communication within the topology is maintained and availability is increased.
Larger - quicker - further
In order to make higher distances of over 30km possible in widely distributed applications, the machines, according to their configuration, are equipped with fibre optic interfaces (Uplink). Apart from the increased stability, extreme distances are easily bridged with this method. The machines from both products were certified by Safety Network International and approved for application in SafetyNET p networks.
Safety Network International e.V
Safety Network International e. V. is an independant organisation originating from the SafetyBUS p Club International. Apart from the well established SafetyBUS p® system, the organization also supports the Ethernet based system SafetyNET p®. With this, the network sets the next milestone in industrial communication systems. Members are users, integrators and developers of both systems. The network promotes their implementation and technical development. The organization was founded in 1999 and now has 75 member companies.

A/N: To those of you who have not caught on yet, I am not doing all of the chapters of the books (obviously). I'm going to skip to the more important/exciting parts.
The school had the rest of the day off, whether it was for temporary relief of the stress the books had on them, or as celebration of the ending of the first year, students wandered the grounds and hung out in the common rooms talking; almost everyone was talking about Harry Potter.
Many people had come to believe Harry over the past few days, as they had learned much about him that they had not known before. With all their new knowledge on the supposed 'mad man', many of the students couldn't help but believe that Harry had absolutely nothing to gain by lying about You-know-who being back, and absolutely everything to lose.
Yet there were still those from stubborn families that have complete faith in the Ministry of Magic and what they read in the Daily Prophet, (idiots), who while they may believe that You-know-who was not in fact dead, did not believe that he had his own body.
However, it didn't matter what view you had on the matters of You-know-who's return, Harry was the talk of the school.
One person who couldn't but help to notice this was Harry Potter himself, by now very aggravated and annoyed at all the staring and pointing; however the one thing he didn't understand was the rove of girls that seemed to have taken to following him around. He, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny had managed to escape to a secluded part of the grounds down near the Black Lake. The four sat staring at the water, each enveloped in their own thoughts.
How he had managed to escape from the worried clutches of his godfather, Harry would never know. Sirius was seeming rather overprotective at the moment, though Harry (being the clueless person he is) had no idea as to why.
Harry was slightly relieved for his first year to already be finished, and yet, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the fact that each year only got more dangerous than the last. It was with great apprehension that Harry felt fourth year creeping ever closer.
Ginny, hand in hand with Harry, was extremely nervous, though perhaps not as nervous as Harry. This next year is the one where she opened the Chamber of Secrets… a year she did not much enjoy thinking about.
Ron and Hermione were feeling slightly ashamed with themselves. Harry always had to go through the worst of everything. They had helped, but he was always, always, always alone for the 'final battle'. Where were they? Why were they always injured or not around when Harry was in the most danger? They just wished they could do more to help…
Somewhere in another secluded part of the Hogwarts grounds were Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
"What happened in the graveyard, Sirius?" Remus asked after a long silence. "It's obvious that, whatever it is, is still haunting him. I've wanted to ask… but it's such a sore subject for him…"
Sirius sighed. "I'm afraid, if Harry couldn't tell you, than I don't think I can. He hasn't even told his two best friends… I'm sorry Remus, but it's not for me to tell."
Remus nodded, he had expected as much. "Harry has been to hell and back, hasn't he?"
Sirius looked down, tears in his eyes; "More than once."
Umbridge sat in her office, or what use to be her office anyway. The boy had ruined everything. Everything… She wanted to do something, to get back at him… to make him sorry he ever messed with Dolores Jane Umbridge. Getting a sudden idea, she went to the fireplace and disappeared in a whirl of green flames.
Coughing, she stepped out of the grate. She had been down Knocturn Alley only a few times before, but this was the first time she was actually excited. She was in a shabby sort of shop, one that she knew, were she standing outside, she would see a faded sign that read 'Bogue's Special Services'. It wasn't really a shop; it was a place where you could… buy favors.
Walking to the front desk, Umbridge rang a small bell. Alerted by the noise, a tall, heavily built, unshaven man trudged in from a back room. "Dolores," he grumbled in greeting.
"Yes, hello Bogue." she said, slightly impatient. "Listen, I require your services."
Bogue raised his eyebrows and scratched his chin which was covered in a black scraggly beard. "I'm listening."
Bogue was the man people went to when they were desperate. When people needed something done, yet they were too hesitant or scared to try, they could go to Bogue. He wasn't an unpleasant man, just someone who had done rather unpleasant things. He would do anything as long as he was paid enough. Some of his past 'favors' had included murdering a woman for cheating on a jealous husband, bewitching common household items to slaughter a rich uncle for a child who was greedy and knew he had been left everything in the uncle's will.
There was nothing Bogue wouldn't do. As long as you had enough money. Being in this rather unpleasant area of business, he knew some pretty dark magic. He was always loyal to his employer though; his policy included a statute of secrecy, the identity of his employers would never be revealed.
It was this man's services and magic that Umbridge had come to acquire. "I need you to come back with me to Hogwarts and perform a binding spell."
Bogue did not even seem surprised. This was not an uncommon request. Sometimes, a man would want an emotional bond placed on them and an ex-lover, so the woman could feel the pain and sorrow he had been enduring for years. Sometimes, people would request that they be bound to their loved one, so they would always know if the other were in danger.
"What kind of bind?" he asked.
"A feeling bind." she replied.
A feeling bind, most unlike an emotional bind where the two bound would just experience the same emotions, was when whatever pain one would feel the other would feel also. Bogue nodded. "On who?"
"On a who… and a what."
This was slightly more uncommon, though not unheard of. Sometimes people would come to Bogue, slightly crazy they may be, intent on finding out if plants felt pain. He had once been paid to bind an old man to his pumpkin. Bogue's job was not to ask questions, but to follow orders. So he bound the man to his pumpkin and left, not even staying to find out if plants felt pain. He was not interested in that. All he wanted was the money.
"On a character in a book," said Umbridge, flushing slightly, "And on the same person, but in real life."
Bogue nodded again. "May I ask who?"
"Harry Potter."
This was new. "Harry P-Potter?" he spluttered.
Umbridge took out a decent sized bag of galleons and dropped it onto the counter, being sure that it made a loud clanking noise when it hit the surface.
"Okay… Harry Potter…" Bogue had been faced with difficult tasks before, but deliberately putting a binding spell on the Boy Who Lived? This would be a real challenge.
"There is a book, about Potter," said Umbridge, "And I want the real Harry to feel whatever pain the Harry in the book feels."
"You understand, that Potter cannot be killed in real life if he is killed in the books?" he asked. "He will bleed, and he will hurt, and feel the effect of whatever happens in the books, though it is all an illusion. For example, if he were to be hit by a stunning spell in the book, the real Potter would feel the impact and the pain of it, but he would not be stunned. Understand?"
Umbridge nodded.
"If he were to be killed in the books, or lost his sole to a dementor, the binding spell would end. You are sure about this? Once the spell is placed, it cannot be removed."
Umbridge nodded yet again.
"Very well. I will do this for you. I need you to take me to the book for me to be able to do the spell."
That night, when everyone else had gone to sleep, Umbridge was supposedly 'patrolling the corridors' with Bogue following while under a disillusionment charm. She led him to the Great Hall where the book lay on the teachers table at the far end of the room.
Bogue took out his wand and pointed at the book and muttered incantations under his breath. The first page began to glow, than the second and third. The glowing light was slowly spreading through the book. He didn't go far, however, when a voice could be heard, obviously on their way into the Hall.
"Dumbledore…" muttered Umbridge worriedly. She heard McGonagall and Dumbledore on their way…
Bogue stopped the spell immediately. Only a small portion of the book was glowing, but Bogue did not seem intent on continuing. "Dumbledore, you said? This wasn't in the deal." He fled. It was one thing to sneak into Hogwarts and cast a binding spell, but to confront Albus Dumbledore? That was one risk he would never be willing to take.
Umbridge was furious; that bastard had taken her money! She quickly checked the book, whose glow was slowly fading, to find out how far Bogue had made the spell. It stopped on a chapter called, Hermione's Secret (A/N: Near the end of Book 3). The binding spell would only be in place for a short while. (A/N: the spell will end at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban)
Quickly, to avoid being seen, Umbridge left the Hall, leaving the now normal looking book right where they had found it. She allowed a small grin to make its way onto her face; Potter would be in for a very unpleasant surprise tomorrow morning.
A/N: Hope that's all right, no hard feelings please! I did my best to make this as interesting for everybody as I could. Keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing! :)

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WYTV) – Police are investigating the circumstances that led to a teenager showing up at St. Elizabeth Health Center with a gunshot wound on Thursday night.
Police said 19-year-old Rayquan Willis arrived at the hospital with his uncle, who told police that he wasn't with Willis when he had been shot.
Willis told police that he was standing outside of his Sherwood Avenue home when he said a black car pulled up and fired shots at him. He was struck in the leg by a bullet and drove to pick up his uncle before driving to the hospital, according to a police report.
Willis was unable to describe the shooter or the car in any detail.

Manufacturers of the diabetes drug Actos have spent much of 2011 facing questions about the ban of the drug in some European countries and FDA warnings involving its link to bladder cancer. The manufacturers, Takeda and Eli Lilly, have also been served with multiple lawsuits stemming to Actos' link to bladder cancer.
In June of this year, CBS News reported that Actos had been banned in Germany and France. According to the news source, the French Medicines Agency used a government-funded study to find that Actos increased the risk of bladder cancer. According to the report, French doctors were advised to not prescribe the diabetes drug and patients currently taking the drug were advised to consult their doctors.
Following the results of the government-funded report in France, German health officials went on to ban the drug as well. That French study followed diabetic patients from 2006 to 2009.
A little more than a week after reports of the European ban on Actos were released, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a safety announcement focused on the diabetes drug. Within the announcement, the FDA advised healthcare professionals to keep from prescribing Actos to patients who have active bladder cancer.
The FDA also said to use caution when prescribing Actos to patients "with a prior history of bladder cancer." The FDA concluded their safety announcement by explaining they will continue to "evaluate data from the ongoing ten-year epidemiological study," as well as "conduct a comprehensive review of the results from the French study."
With the increasingly publicized link between Actos and bladder cancer throughout the summer, Takeda and Eli Lilly have subsequently faced several lawsuits in the latter half of this year. One of these cases involves a class action lawsuit that was filed in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana. The lawsuits were filed by two former users of Actos who later developed bladder cancer.
Filed on September 16, the lawsuit states that Takeda and Eli Lilly both had high financial incentive to conceal any and all dangers that were associated with Actos, including the alleged link to bladder cancer. The class action suit is seeking medical monitoring, damages, and other compensation for individuals who have taken Actos and developed bladder cancer since the drug's introduction in 1999.
A U.S. Judicial Panel centered on Multidistrict Litigation will be making a decision on whether this class action Actos lawsuit will be compacted to one judge for all proceedings.

Upgrading always involves munging the GENERIC config file to match what you have. Is there some way we can do this automagically by picking the options out of the currently running kernel? I'm not really sure where this is leading, but if something like this was possible, upgrades (both to -current and to releases) would be a lot easier... Simon.

So how is the X-Fi Fatal1ty? Well, besides being one of the first ever sound cards that requires external power, audio quality on the device is apparently noticeably better than the Audigy 1 or 2, while also relieving some CPU usage in system audio processing. Sounds like a win-win if you ask us—so now we're just supposed to wait for the Creative takeover of the consumer PC audio world, right? Wait, what do you mean they're already to the gold standard?

Franklin Spotts was born February 7, 1944, in Pontiac, Michigan. He attended high school in Port Huron, Michigan, graduating in May 1961. He later attended Port Huron Junior College, the University of Michigan, and Wheaton College. He was raised in a family which put great emphasis on education as his father was Director of Extension for the University of Michigan.
During his high school years Spotts became involved with Youth for Christ, which nurtured his interest and participation in the organization in the years that followed. From 1964 to 1965 he traveled to France as a one man Teen Team working with American youth overseas. Upon his return to the States, he finished his degree at Wheaton in 1967, worked as a probation officer in Michigan, and married before returning to France as a permanent full time Youth for Christ staffer in 1969.
The Spotts' worked in France helping establish YFC organizations among the French young people, setting up national leadership, and developing a camp/convention center. After four years the couple returned to the States where Mr. Spotts served as the Director of the YFC organization in St. Clair County, Michigan.

These time-lapse maps show how much hotter the USA will be when you're old
I don't plan on being in the USA any longer by the time I'm 40, let alone when I'm elderly.
Ha! I'll be dead soon: I win!
I'd just like to thank the baby boomers for screwing us young people thoroughly over.
So What if I'm an Old and I'm smart enough to remember the changes I've already experienced. What if I'm bright enough that I have been telling Youngs and Middles that we really need to pay attention to what we as people are doing to the planet. Does that win any points or should we continue in our efforts to divide people into every possible faction. Thanks for lumping us babyboomers as the cause of all our current woes. I'm really kind of sick of that shit! I would hope that BoingBoing might leave the stereotyping to the politicians who practice it so well. On the other hand I'm old and you know how those old bastards are, gripe and moan about everything.
What this map doesn't show is the effect of medical advances. People who are in their thirties, forties and even fifties, who are rich enough, are likely to benefit from the exponential increase in medicine and the length of the average lifetime for this group is probably going shoot up. This means that this map is likely to show the effect on these people too, not just the Youngies. Rich older folk, global warming is going to affect you too.
Yup, same here. I've been trying to keep a low carbon footprint since the 1980s, and it really pisses me off when young turks who weren't even born then tell me that the temperature has always been what it is now. Of course it has. Always for you is like three weeks. Get off my lawn!
Looks like the entire state of Texas becomes a scorched hellscape. Kind of ironic in a not entirely unsatisfying way.
As though it isn't already... (Caveat Austin)
Um... when do they think people born in 1981 will go to college? When they're 39 years old? Man, the job market will be tough for those kids...
It has to have been a typo - I think they meant 1991 based on the other ranges.
Xeni, one quick correction: The maps are part of the recently released Risky Business report, available at riskybusiness.org commissioned by a handful of climate policy advocacy groups, co-chaired by Michael Bloomberg, Hank Paulson, and Tom Steyer and featuring an impressive tech team and advisory group, ranging the full political spectrum, but no willful ignorance. The damage analysis portion including these maps was done by the Rhodium Group and all of these people deserve credit for the work. Anyway, I am not affiliated, but the whole report is worth shining a light on. For example, on our current path, they expect the loss of $66-106 Billion worth of coastal real estate by 2050 and $240-500 Billion by 2100. And up to $200 Billion is from Florida alone.
Yeah, the "old people are screwing the millenials over" framing isn't really helpful. The baby boomers helped found the environmental movement, and there are plenty of denialists who are young enough to be my children.
Is this a thing?
Maybe it should be - I'll put it right over here, alongside #NotAllMen, and #NotAllWhites. Then I'll call the Samaritans, because they care.
You might have been doing something, but obviously you haven't been doing enough.
the big question will be, when will we notice the difference?
When does a frog in water notice it's started boiling?
That little blue Violet area in the last heat map looks to be where I grew up, near Lake Havasu, Arizona, or maybe Yuma, where my sister still lives. That's not okay.
Is it just me, or does it appear that the state of Colorado will be covered by a Godzilla-shaped patch of cooler weather in 2020-2059?
Go North, young man.
Even now, Canada prepares for invasion.
EDIT: Sorry, I meant 'liberation'.

A few days ago, a football player in a national league team shot and killed his girlfriend and then himself.
As usual, the liberals are using the tragedy to condemn gun ownership, and, as usual, they are blaming others for this man's violence. They are even going as far as to blame others for gun violence in the entire black community, saying it is a conspiracy by the National Rifle Association.
The truth is, if the weapon were not a gun, it would have been a knife. If it weren't a knife, it would have been a bat. If it weren't a bat, it would have been a chair. If it weren't a chair, he would have used his own bare hands.
The problem is not the weapon used to do harm to others and self, the problems is deeply spiritual. It's an individual heart problem. It's because of the lack of Christ, the lack of love, and the lack of self-control that such murders occur by individuals.

This is true. Voice acting and live action acting are two entirely different things.

He laughed plenty. He said Why so serious because he was recounting a story of what his father said to him. He wasn't actually asking Gambol why he was being serious lol.
Sometimes I remember it one way. Sometimes another. If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!

Hackettstown Area Schools Reopen After Lockdown
Schools in Hackettstown reopened Tuesday after an unfounded threat forced officials to keep students inside classrooms for about four hours.

Officials imposed lockdowns after a man called the Warren County communications center multiple times on Monday morning and claimed he was armed with an assault rifle in the woods behind Hackettstown High School.
The town's schools and Centenary College kept students inside while police searched the area.
The search failed to uncover the man or any weapons.

Chapter 1My name is Akiko. This is the story of how I went from building a snowman to flying through a black hole to nearly getting crushed by the Jaws of--Well, I don't want to give it all away. Let's just say for now that some really weird stuff happened to me the other day. Stuff involving my friends from the planet Smoo, a big rusty spaceship named Boach's Bullet, and several tons of something green and smelly called grull. See what I mean? Weird stuff.I'll start with the snowman. It was a freezing cold January morning, a Saturday. My best friend, Melissa, and I were playing in Middleton Park, just a few blocks from the apartment building where we both live. We were chucking snowballs at each other, making sorry-looking igloos, and just generally goofing around with the six or seven inches of snow that had fallen the night before."Middleton is nowhere," said Melissa. "When I grow up I'm moving to a big city. Where exciting stuff happens. Every day, all the time. And I'll tell everyone I meet: Stay away from Middleton. Unless you really like being bored.""Oh, come on," I said. "It's not that bad." Melissa chucked a snowball and we both watched it slide across the frozen duck pond. I threw one too, but it didn't go as far. "Trust me, Akiko. I've been to Chicago and Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Those are real cities. Your problem is you've never been away from your own hometown."(Melissa's problem is she starts too many sentences with "Your problem is.")"I have too," I said."Where have you been?""I've been to places you've never even heard of.""Such as?"If only I could tell her: Smoo! Quilk! The castle of Alia Rellapor!"Leamington.""Leamington?" She laughed and shook her head. "I've been to Leamington. It's even worse than Middleton." She threw another snowball. "When I get older I'm going to stay away from any place that ends with -ton.""I like Leamington," I said. "My gramma lives there.""You like everything," Melissa said. "That's your whole problem."Then Melissa's mom called her from the top of a hill on the other side of the duck pond."Come on, 'Liss! Time to go!""But Mom," she said, "we're in the middle of something really important here." Ha!"Count of ten: one . . . two . . .""Mom!" Melissa pleaded. She stretched it out until it sounded like Maaaah-um.". . . three . . . four . . .""Gotta go." Melissa sighed, dropped the snowball she'd been making, and trotted off around the edge of the duck pond. I stood there and watched the puffs of breath trail off behind her. "See ya, Melissa!""See ya!" A minute later there was no one in the park but me.I was about to head back home, but then I decided to make a snowman. We don't get that much snow in Middleton, so there are only so many chances for snowman making before it's suddenly March and the so-called snow is so gray and slushy you don't want your mittens going anywhere near it.I had finished with the second big ball of snow--the snowman's belly--and was working on the third when I began to feel warm. Seriously warm. It was like I was being heated from inside or something. I unzipped my coat and loosened my scarf a little, but it didn't really help. I took off my mittens and stuffed them in my coat pockets. That's when it started happening.First my hand-knit winter hat disappeared. It sort of loosened itself from my head like it was, I don't know, letting go of me. And then it just vanished. By that point I was feeling downright feverish. I reached into my coat to loosen my scarf a little more and found that it had disappeared too."Uh-oh." Then my eyes went haywire. All of Middleton Park started to lose its color. The black tree trunks faded to gray and then to white, all the buildings turned white, and the sky turned white: I could hardly see anything but white, no matter what direction I turned.There was a surge of heat from inside me, like a burst of flame right between my heart and my stomach.DOP!DADA-DOP!DADA-DOP-DOP-DOP!A popping noise shot through my skull from one ear to the other, and when I looked down . . . I couldn't see my body anymore! Everything around me got whiter and whiter until I was surrounded by a million little white-hot suns and I had to shut my eyes and throw my hands over them and . . .FFLAAAAAAAAAM!There was a terrific slamming sound, louder than anything I'd ever heard in my life. FLA-FFLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAMMM!A second sound, even louder. Then:Total silence.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzExcept for a low, buzzing hum in my head.I uncovered my eyes.I was kneeling in the middle of a large gray square, smooth and glossy, but with scuff marks all over it like a well-used floor. Middleton Park was gone, replaced by a sea of blackness in all directions. Well, most of Middleton Park was gone, anyway. My now half-melted snowman was still right there in front of me, for some reason. The humming slowly gave way to a loud rattling noise, like an old muffler in need of repair. There was a flicker of light, then all at once everything snapped into focus: I was in a small room cluttered with all sorts of strange machines and flashing orange lights. On one side of the room was a large glass windshield, beyond which lay a field of stars. I was inside a spaceship."Wait! Look!" said a familiar voice just behind me. "That's her! She's coming through!""You're a lucky man, Beebs," said a second voice, just as familiar. "Let's hope her innards didn't get flipped upside down."I spun around and found myself face to face with my Smoovian friends, Spuckler and Mr. Beeba. They were crouching just beyond the edge of the square, staring at me with wide eyes. Behind them to the left was Spuckler's rusty robot, Gax, and hovering above Gax was Poog in all his strange purple-round glory.Mr. Beeba flinched and pointed behind me."Good heavens!" he cried. "She's not alone! We've picked up some sort of alien ice creature!""Don't worry, Beebs," said Spuckler, eyeing the unfinished snowman. "It ain't breathin'. I think the Trans-Moovulator musta killed it.""What . . . ," I started."How..."I paused.Took a deep breath."Where am I?"From the Trade Paperback edition.

Screen Asia: A Flicker in Eternity, a film by Sharon Yamato and Ann KanekoVIEW EVENT DETAILS
Post-Screening Conversation with Lane Ryo Hirabayashi
Join us for an afternoon to commemorate and contemplate the contributions of Japanese-American soldiers during World War II. The afternoon begins with a screening of A Flicker in Eternity by Ann Kaneko and Sharon Yamato. The film depicts the coming-of-age tale of Stanley Hayami, a talented young teenager caught between his dream of becoming a writer/artist and his duty to his country. Based on Hayami's own journal entries, this documentary is the firsthand account of a 15-year-old thrust into the turmoil of World War II and is a poignant reminder of the indignity of incarceration and the tragedy of war. Through Stanley's endearing cartoons and witty observations, this film chronicles his life behind barbed wire and as a soldier in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
Following the film, noted scholar Lane Ryo Hirabayashi will respond to the film, then address both the history of internment camps in Texas and how the relationship between incarceration and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team changed throughout the war.
This event is presented in conjunction with American Heroes: Japanese American World War II Nisei Soldiers and The Congressional Gold Medal on view December 19, 2013 through January 26, 2014 at Holocaust Museum Houston, located two blocks south of Asia Society Texas Center. National Veterans Network has partnered with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program to share this extraordinary story during an exclusive seven-city tour, ending at Holocaust Museum Houston.
Film Screening: 2:00 pm
Lecture and discussion: 2:30 pm

From the course to the cloth and back again
Page Tools
Euan Walters was a gifted young golfer who gave it up for God, then had a rethink - and he hasn't looked back. Mark Hawthorne reports.
It's a fair distance from pennants golf in Melbourne to the riches of the US PGA Tour. For Euan Walters, the journey has been longer than anyone could have imagined.
After winning the Victorian boys' title in 1987 he was considered one of the rising stars of Australian golf, along with Stuart Appleby, Robert Allenby and Richard Green. But by 1991 he had quit golf, feeling as though he had to make a choice between the game and God.
This weekend, Walters is playing the AT&T Pebble Beach pro-am, where he shot 69 in the first round on Thursday. It's a course he has played "in his head" since he was a kid. "I know all the famous shots," he says. "[Jack] Nicklaus hitting the stick at 17; Tom Kite holing his wedge at seven."
It is a quantum leap for the 34-year-old, who has spent most of his career at the other end of the golf spectrum. Satellite tours. Country pro-ams. Purses worth $15,000. This has been his bread and butter.
Even in Melbourne, Walters hardly rates a blip on the radar of golf fans. But his life changed with four rounds in Adelaide a year ago. He won the Jacob's Creek Open, an event co-sanctioned with the US Nationwide Tour. Along with a cheque for $189,000 came a ticket to play on America's second-string golf tour. In 31 starts he made enough to earn a PGA Tour card. "It's funny, but last year my life didn't change as much as I thought it would," he says. "Instead of driving a lap of Australia playing golf, I drove a lap of the US. Now, instead of 12 hours driving, it's 12 on a plane."
Life wasn't meant to pan out like this for Walters. The truth is, he was meant to get here much sooner. After being runner-up to Appleby at the Victorian Amateur in 1991, everything changed.
Adam Norris, a pennant teammate at Latrobe, says Walters was an outstanding talent. "Appleby and Allenby were clearly one and two, but Walters was just behind them," Norris says. "He wasn't a long hitter like they were, but he had a better short game. He was brilliant, born with great touch."
Sponsors clamoured for a piece of the action, despite his amateur status. He acquired a red Mazda MX-6 sports car. Officially he worked at Mazda's Braeside holding yard, fitting stereos to new vehicles from Japan. But he did the job only once a month - maybe the only casual factory worker in Australia with a company car.
With a lucrative professional career ahead of him, Walters quit school at 16 and dedicated five years of his life to the game. Then he made a decision that baffled his friends, coaches and peers. Having become a Christian at 19, Walters gave up golf at 21. From 1991 to 1994, he played just six rounds. "God challenged me," he recalls. "He asked if I was going to put Him or golf first. I put God first."
Walters's parents were particularly upset. Golf had been their son's destiny ever since he brought home $50 he found on the footpath at age 10. "Dad took me to K-Mart. I'd never played golf, but I bought a junior half-set with it," he says. "Mum and Dad made plenty of sacrifices for my golf over the years. Quitting golf particularly affected my parents. They never understood it, and it changed our relationship for some time. It took them more than a year to get over it."
Playing pennant golf as a teenager, where most players are from Melbourne's exclusive sand belt clubs, Walters felt like an outsider, and was occasionally made to feel like one. He recalls a spat with Allenby - "silly teenage stuff that doesn't mean much when you grow up" - and was never close to any of his teammates. Christianity provided the support he needed. "Growing up, golf was my love, but then I had to choose God over golf. People didn't understand that."
For three years, Walters shunned golf. The casual position at Mazda became his real job. In 1992, when Allenby won his first two international events, Walters was working as a house detailer, scraping putty from window frames and cleaning dried plaster out of bathtubs.
In his spare time he handed out religious flyers.
"For most players, that would be the end of them," says Sean Lynch, tournament co-ordinator of the Australian PGA. "I've seen guys go away, come back and do nothing. But Euan has his life and his priorities better balanced than just about anyone out there."
In late 1993 Walters says he was again challenged by God. "This time it was what I was going to do with my life. I was working odd jobs, going to church. I had met a girl and fell in love, but I was going nowhere," he says. "I decided to be a golf professional."
He returned to Latrobe, played five rounds to get his handicap and found he hadn't lost his touch. Off scratch, he was offered a traineeship at Riversdale Golf Club. At Amstel in 1995 he shot a course record 10 under, with seven consecutive birdies, then applied for a golf scholarship to the AIS.
Since then, it has been a long haul to the top. "Most people probably regard me as an average golfer who's had one good year," he says. "I understand that. But I know what I can do."
Instead of Traralgon or Anglesea, Walters is now playing at Pebble Beach. He's in the field for the British Open at St Andrews, and is looking forward to meeting Nicklaus at his tournament, the Memorial. "Only two players in the world are sponsored to wear Nicklaus shirts - Jack and me," he says. "Jack gets the money; I get the free shirts."
Life has changed for Walters. He has a laptop supplied by the US PGA. Instead of an old Holden, a luxury car awaits him at any airport in America. He has yet to meet the US Tour chaplain or attend any tour Bible classes, but plans to do so. "In my locker I even find notes offering a private jet to the next event. It costs $US8000, one-way," he laughs. "You don't get those notes at Traralgon."
From time to time he still appears at Victoria's pro-ams. Sony Open one week; Anglesea the next. "I feel obligated to support those events," he says. "I'd never be where I am now without them. And besides which, if it all goes belly-up in America, I might be back there sooner than I think."

Greece offers its creditors a plan
Government meets demands to raise taxes, cut spending
Published 12:02 am, Friday, July 10, 2015
Athens, Greece
Greece finally met a deadline that counted on Thursday and made a series of sweeping proposals that its creditors needed by midnight to set off a mad rush toward a weekend deal to stave off a financial collapse of the nation.
The package met long-standing demands by creditors to impose wide-ranging sales-tax hikes and cuts in state spending for pensions that the left-leaning Greek government had long resisted.
It raised hopes that Greece can get the rescue deal that will prevent a catastrophic exit from the euro after key creditors said they were open to discussing how to ease the country's debt load, a longtime sticking point.
In the text of proposals sent by Athens late Thursday, the government conceded to demands it had previously refused to accept — mostly on moving various categories of goods and services to higher sales tax rates — in exchange for a new $59 billion bailout package.
The government said the proposals would be voted on by Greece's parliament late Friday before an emergency summit Sunday of all 28 European Union leaders.
After months of foot-dragging despite impending chaos, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras met a midnight deadline with more than an hour to spare. The spokesman for eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem tweeted that it was "important for institutions to consider these (proposals) in their assessment" of the Greek situation.
Finance officials from the European institutions and the International Monetary Fund were to fine-comb through the proposals on Friday before the 19 eurozone finance ministers assess them on Saturday. In ideal circumstances, a summit of the full European Union would be able to approve them on Sunday.
Earlier Thursday, Donald Tusk of Poland, who chairs the EU summits, indicated that European officials would make an effort to address Greece's key request for debt relief.
"The realistic proposal from Greece will have to be matched by an equally realistic proposal on debt sustainability from the creditors. Only then will we have a win-win situation," Tusk said.
Greece has long argued its debt is too high to be paid back and that the country requires some form of debt relief. The International Monetary Fund agrees with the premise, but key European states like Germany have resisted the idea.
On Thursday, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the possibility of some kind of debt relief would be discussed over coming days, though he cautioned it may not provide much help.
"The room for maneuver through debt reprofiling or restructuring is very small," he said.
Making Greece's debt more sustainable would likely involve lowering the interest rates and extending the repayment dates on its bailout loans. Germany and many other European countries rule out an outright debt cut, arguing it would be illegal under European treaties.
Tsipras met with finance ministry officials and his cabinet Thursday to finalize his country's plan, a day after his government requested a new three-year aid program from Europe's bailout fund and promised to immediately enact reforms, including to taxes and pensions, in return.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he's a big fan of Champions League rivals Bayern Munich.
There is certainly a wariness inside the United camp merely because of the history they are facing.
"I respect Bayern Munich," said Ferguson. "I have great admiration for them as a club. That is what we are playing. We are playing history. A team with history has a certain pride and we have to remember that."
How much that history counts once the action starts is a moot point.
Seven trophies did not do AC Milan much good when they were battered by United in the last round and the odds are on a Red Devils advance to an Anglo-French semi-final against either Lyon or Bordeaux.
Louis van Gaal is happy enough to play the underdog card anyway, although Ferguson feels a bit of kidology is at play.
"He is a clever man," smiled the United chief. "But I don't pay any attention to that.
"I haven't seen all Bayern's games this season but we have watched video footage over the last two days.
"They have had one or two bad results recently but it doesn't mean they are a bad team.
"We are not going to get carried away for one moment that this could be an easy game. It won't be."

I have a problem! Re: Exoticas and hookah head!
Hey guys, so I'm trying exoticas for the first time this week, as well as my first starbuzz.
Liking both, Really happy with how the exoticas burn and the starbuzz, even in a normal clay bowl, is lasting aaaaages, good smoking for about 2 hours, going through 2 sticks of exoticas!
However, 2 nights in a row now, my sessions have been followed by BIG TIME hookah headaches! First night was starbuzz strawberry daiquiri, session lasted over 2 and a half hours, 2 and a bit sticks of exotica before it burned right down. Great smoke and flavour the whole time. The second night I was smoking with 2 hoses with a few friends. We had a bowl of the SB strawberry for an hour, before repacking with some Al Waha Cola for another hour.
The first night, smoking the SB on my own, made me so sick I was actually WORRIED I wasn't going to be ok....The single most offputting experience I've ever had with shisha. I backed it up the night after and the hookah head wasn't as bad, but still uncomfortable and I know it would've gotten worse if I hadn't stopped right when I did.
I smoke in a big room normally with the windows open (unless I'm trying to blow big rings haha), and I make sure the coals are ashed all over before smoking them. I'd had plenty to eat, lots of water and there wasn't the 'buzz' I've gotten before with some tobaccos...Just a splitting throbbing headache.
My hookah is getting a week off to let me forget how bad it felt, but I want to hear your bad hookah head experiences and what caused them! I've got a near full box of exoticas that I just don't want to smoke...but everyone else seems to have been fine with them!
Sorry for the novel, but it's a big deal for me..for the first time in a long time I have disliked a session!

County to call first grand jury
Cowley County will convene what is believed to be its first grand jury next month.
The jury was requested by Dee Dow of Arkansas City, who wants a grand jury to investigate her son's death in April 1999. The death has been ruled a suicide.
County Atty. Gary Foiles also wants the jury to consider three other cases. His request for a grand jury was denied by District Court judges.
Dow began circulating her petition after Foiles' request was turned down.
Town seeks other funds for hospital renovation
Hoisington officials are looking for a new source to pay for improvements to Clara Barton Hospital after problems with Rural Development Assn. funding.

Pawnee County voters to reconsider dairies
Pawnee County voters, who rejected corporate hog and dairy farms in the county six years ago, will be asked in November to reconsider the question regarding dairying.
The Pawnee County Commission agreed to put the issue on the Nov. 7 general election ballot, after signatures on a petition drive were validated.
Robert Lewis, a Larned farmer who carried the latest petition, said the 1994 vote for hogs failed by a three-to-one margin, but the dairy issue failed by only 16 votes.
