Just as a 14-year-old autistic girl deboarded her school bus at 8:00 am at a Rutherford County high school on October 28, 36-year-old William Gilbert Barnett Jr. of Clarksville, Tennessee, picked her up and allegedly raped her in his truck. Barnett returned her to the school bus stop around 4:00 pm after school. He has been charged with three rape charges and three counts of aggravated sexual battery. It’s a chilling case, for schools and for parents of autistic children who often struggle to interpret social cues and to grasp the intentions of an individual like that of the accused in this case....

The man who invented the laser

How far is the Moon from Earth? How much does a liter of milk? Or, what is written on the CD case that you are not in your hands? There is only one way to answer all the questions to have a laser . It is shooting a laser beam towards a reflector placed by the astronauts on the moon that we know the distance that separates us from our satellite (384mila km). Thus, it is past the reader of the case the bar code printed on the carton of milk, or any other product in the supermarket, we know how much to pay. And also to listen to a CD, we need an optical drive. All applications of the same brilliant idea, that of ' light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation . In a word of the laser , invented by Gordon Gould (1920-2005) on the night of November 9, 1957 .
Have you ever seen the light photographed? Here are the pictures.

Gould, a physicist with a doctorate in New York spectroscopy at Columbia University , it had risen shortly after midnight, a prey to the urge to write what had been flashed in my head. He put it down on paper his notes ( "Some rough calculations on the feasibility of a laser: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation" ), on the feasibility of the laser . It was the first time that acronym was used. He was to indicate the way the light was amplified to produce a beam narrow and high-power, and Gordon was well aware of the extent of his insight. So much so that when he had finished writing his notes brought because they were authenticated by a notary. Almost imagined how much profit would be returned over time....

On Monday, a group of Greenpeace Africa activists managed to interrupt work at the construction site of a gigantic new coal-fired power plant in South Africa for several hours.
Some of the activists chained themselves to the gate at the entrance to the site where Eskom, South Africa’s state-owned electricity utility, is busy building the Kusile power station, which will have a total capacity of 4800 megawatts (MW) once it’s completed. A second group of activists gained access to the site, scaled a tall construction crane and dropped a banner reading ‘Kusile: Climate Killer’ from it.....

No More School Buses in Washington State?

noreply@blogger.com (thivest.com/bouabid's) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:01:00 +0000

Washington state is considering eliminating all funding for school busing to address a $2 billion shortfall in the state budget. Cutting school busing for all students would give the state an additional $220 million. Getting rid of transportation for students would mean that it will be up to parents to figure out how to get their kids to school not to mention lots more traffic at drop-off and pick-up time.

But it also raises the question of what constitutes a “basic education.” While some note that cutting transportation is preferable to other cuts in the classroom, no more school buses means that some students will have no means of getting to school, if parents work or if students live beyond walking distance. While there are some benefits to students — such as the exercise from walking — there are also safety concerns, depending on where students live and how long their walk is.

Washington is not the only state that has put school buses on the line in seeking to address budget issues; California and Colorado have also previously cut funds for transportation. But if Washington Governor Chris Gregoire’s idea is approved by state lawmakers, Washington would be the first state to completely eliminate transportation for children in public school in the US. Bob Riley, executive director of the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, says that about 50 percent of US school children –not including children in special education whose transportation is mandated under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) — take school buses to.... more on

Michigan Republicans Allow Bullying If ‘Religiously or Morally Motivated’ (Video)

noreply@blogger.com (thivest.com/bouabid's) — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:06:00 +0000

In Michigan, the State’s Republican-controlled Senate has passed an anti-bullying law named after a gay victim.

Good thing you might think. Except it’s not.

The Republicans put in a clause, introduced in secret, which is a cop out for anyone who can provide a religious or moral reason for their action.

Apparently to not grant this get-out clause is to act, as Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan, puts it, as “a Trojan horse for the homosexual agenda.”

The Michigan bills are known as ‘Matt’s Safe School Law’ and are named for Matt Epling, an East Lansing gay teenager who committed suicide after being bullied......

From the summit of the G20 in Cannes ( see photos ) , in progress at this time, emerges with a certain arrogance to the question of the commissioner of Italy. Not really the point of second order, for a few hours was a real "yellow" media: some sources (including all, Reuters ) argue that our country has agreed to undergo it, others (among them all, Il Sole 24 Ore ) say the the contrary.

To clarify the situation has provided the same Silvio Berlusconi in a press conference in Cannes, saying that the IMF will monitor the action of the government with checks every three months, and this, added the Prime Minister, was asked to prevent further attacks hedge against our country.

The declarations of Berlusconi's close the series of chases between news and denials, a minuet that even a single source was innocent protagonist. And 'the case of the same Sole 24 Ore, who before giving the news of "no" spoke of a " yes "referring to the considerations of José Manuel Barroso .

Toxic Chemicals in U.S. Baby Shampoo, Why?

noreply@blogger.com (thivest.com/bouabid's) — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:24:00 +0000

It’s pretty clear that formaldehyde, used to embalm corpses, is not a health elixir. What’s less
clear is why Johnson & Johnson thinks it’s a good idea to put this carcinogen in baby shampoo.
Something to Cry About: Carcinogens Formaldehyde and Dioxane in Baby Shampoo
Two years after first asking the baby cosmetics giant to take formaldehyde-releasing quaternium-15 and another potentially cancer causing chemical, dioxane, out of Johnson & Johnson products, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics released a new investigation this week showing that the company is starting to do so, but not in the United States.
“Clearly there is no need for Johnson & Johnson to expose babies to a known carcinogen when the company is already making safer alternatives. All babies deserve safer products,” said Lisa Archer, director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics at a new conference.....more

Mercury Polluters May Be Allowed To Carry On Without Consequence

noreply@blogger.com (thivest.com/bouabid's) — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 01:23:00 +0000

•by Heather Shelby

This is a guest post from Albert A Rizzo, MD. Dr. Rizzo is the National Volunteer Chair of the American Lung Association.

There is a lot being said in the news lately about how leaders in Washington are working to weaken or even repeal basic clean air protections. This week especially, the debate over regulating emissions from industrial boilers and cement plants has captured headlines across the nation.
Yet, what all this boiler and cement talk really means to everyday people hasn’t been made entirely clear. Bottom line, serious public health protections are on the line. Industrial boilers and cement plants are the second and third largest sources, respectively, of mercury and other toxic emissions and directly contribute to thousands of deaths each year.
Industrial boilers are most often used to produce electricity at chemical and manufacturing plants, paper mills and refineries. These boilers operate by burning oil, coal and other dirty substances, which create a toxic by-product of soot, mercury and other harmful agents that are released into our airways in alarming volumes. Breathing these air toxics can cause serious harm to the circulatory, respiratory, nervous, endocrine and other essential life systems. Pollution from industrial boilers is also a known cause of cancer, developmental disorders and premature death......

Says goodbye to The Straits Bridge

This time may have come really at the terminus of the mega-project Strait Bridge , chased and abandoned by the government on and off now for several years now. The dream to link Sicily to the mainland, in fact, has been hit hard in recent days, when he was voted a resolution of Italy of Values on local public transport.

I have given a comprehensive account is first Linchiesta is the website of ' Espresso . Linkiesta reconstructs the story thus: "To keep from going under to vote, the government has given a favorable opinion, the majority abstained and the Parliament approved the deletion of funding for the Bridge . " Recalling also "a letter signed by him and addressed by Berlusconi to Europe", which would not have mentioned the bridge between the projects to be supported.

The twists and turns, as always, can not be excluded completely. Also seen that, as mentioned, the politicians have changed their minds several times about this issue . The Espresso reconstructs the story in its own way, with an article that is not going to make so many turns of phrase: "Messina Bridge, 17 years of lies" . And so with a subtitle that comes right to the issue of constant changes of opinion: "The first time that the Knight was promised it to his taking the field in 1994. Eight years ago he swore that he would be open to traffic in 2011. Here all his statements: denied by the vote yesterday, which buries the project.".....

noreply@blogger.com (thivest.com/bouabid's) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:09:00 +0000

ROME (Reuters) - Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said today that the European debt crisis is a crisis the euro as its currency "did not convince anyone."
"There is an attack on the euro as a currency that did not convince anyone, because there is but one country but many do not have a unitary government or a bank reference and guarantees," said Berlusconi talking to Member General of Foreign Trade.
Already in recent days, the prime minister had come to express concern about the single currency. In a note at Palazzo Chigi, Monday, it said that the euro is the only currency that "has not backed by a lender of last resort structurally prepared to defend its credibility due to the aggressiveness of the financial markets." This situation, called for the press, "which must be corrected once and for all."
Has not been slow to comment on the PD to the words spoken on the euro from Prime Minister tonight. Enrico Letta, in a statement, called it "paradoxical" because Berlusconi said, adding that he, the President of the Council, "is no longer able to convince anyone in Europe and the world, but also in their own country."......
