text: Rolling right along with all the crazy news on the BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry 6 we have a new promo video. The video shows off the device and some of the main selling features of BlackBerry 6. Its a pretty good spot and while obviously way too scripted actually shows off some great features (but I'm not sure that things like zooming on photos really needed to be included). In any case, it definitely gets me pumped for next weeks release. Check out the video above and if you haven't yet, read our BlackBerry Torch Review and BlackBerry 6 review.

i just want to know why it is zessica who saw the vision along with kagura. what connection do the 2 have? is she the wings? she seems to develop a new power every episode - hand of god, flame slap, telekinesis, self-projection in the current episode(she is the only one to do it), getting naked without shame
the whole flame hand does ring apollo by the way. apollo's mugen attack always had a flame/fire feel to it. is she part of kagura's soul/mind?
she could just be the third element with silvie and apollon like reika was and feels mikono will choose kagura instead of amata. but that's a repeat of OVA scenario so i am not sure they will try it again. however zessica's concern for amata looks like she really wants him to be happy and it worried mikono would disappoint him meaning she is loyal. so is she rena the dog? wants to protect her owner?
i also think we might have to connect the episode written by okada marie. last one written by her was ep 11. the only time any wings awakened at the time was kagura -zessica vision. so do the writers give each other different episodes to write abut not connect them back together when the show airs? that's messed up. even in episode 11 we felt a disjoint when mikono-amata were moping and day dreaming about kagura who they didn't think of previous 2 episodes. the last episode written by marie before 11 was 6.

Vena: ...and that line of thought (+ some of what Zen said) is why I'm thinking reincarnation is going to be Mr Potato-head style: everything's confusing because everyone's at least partially a composite and it's not clear which parts dominate yet. So I give up (beyond putting that general idea out there, I think).
The wings, though: no idea. Maybe the double-halo if you squint the right way? But I doubt it.

But I guess anything is possible... I just don't think this idea is compatible with Touma's personality and his motivations.

To reiterate for the sake of how strange I find it, Zessica saw a person she'd never met. How would she be able to know such a thing? It reeks of outside meddling.
As for Zess's power... not a large enough sample size?

More and more after each episode, I'm coming to believe that Zen is actually Rena. Think about it:
1. He has the same eye colour as her
2. He's always going on about how he can "see" things, which is what Rena's ability was. Even though she was blind she could see much more than the average person.
3. Rena has already been shown to change her form once. First she was the flying dog, and then the girl in a wheelchair. It's entirely possible that she changed her form again.
4. Which means she was also around 24 000 years ago, and Mykage (Touma?) could have met her as the flying dog. She was Appollonius's friend after all and so must have come from the same place as the shadow angels, or she could even be one herself. (One of the shadow angels in the OS was shown to be a big flying dog or lion, I can't remember exactly)
5. She knew the original Fudou and so could be taking his form on a whim or as a tribute to him or something
6. And she knew Sylvia in the past. So if Mikono is indeed Sylvia, then the comment Zen (Rena) makes about her not having changed makes sense as well
Spoiler for Zen and Rena's eye colour:

Irregardless she's a real trooper, putting the happiness of her loved one before her own.
Ugh, I can see it already. Zess butts in and takes Mikono's spot when Kagura is trying to take her back to Altair. Where's my face palm.

But isn't it possible if zessica has any power of aquarion/wing seperate from the body of apollo/appolonius she too like mikono chooses amata over twisted kagura?
Zen doesn't want kagura who is said to be mikono's destiny to be together. He wants a new myth. So maybe hoping mikono and zessica would choose amata? Wings would be different from a person's heart like in case of mikono. Wings job would be to protect without anything in return.
Eh lets just wait for next episode.

Zen also isn't even trying to push Zessica and Amata together, and Amata isn't even into Zessica. He's not giving Zessica any special treatment, like how he has with Amata and Mikono. And even if Zen tried to push Zessica on Amata it wouldn't help since Amata doesn't think of her romantically.

If it wasn't for the vision she had in ep 11 I wouldn't think she's a reincarnation of anyone.

But it could also be due to Mykage's trolling Zen's ritual.

Zen calls Zessica's power Distortion. While Zessica's data calls it Impact. Her power is a form of telekinesis. Zessica has a vision of Kagura and Mikono as Apollon and Sylvie. She feels get can't get close to Amata....
My goodness Zessica is OVA Silvia! The Mugen Punch that Silvia, Apollo and Reika did to save their world created the Great Catastrophe due to the dimensional distortion. Somehow its effects led TV Silvia to acquire OVA Silvia's memory that Apollo is Apollonius.
Which leads me to theorize some part of their OVA counterparts merged with them because of the dimensional distortion with differing effects. With Silvia its OVA Silvia's partial memory. TV Reika inherited OVA Reika cursing herself causing bad luck. Apollo... He lost his memory before meeting Baron. Even OVA Apollo had family such as his grandfather.
Both Silvia's reincarnated into different bodies. Mikono is TV Silvia with her connection power. Zessica is OVA Silvia with her impact/distortion power.
On another note Izumo believes Altair is dying. Which leads me to think the Tree of Life there is dying as well. The connection between Altair and Kagura's Mithras Ignis through the portal looks to me like a tree.

Now that we know her power is distortion...
And her emotions racing causing distortions...
Her mirror rippling as if it were distorted...
Seems like a much easier solution rather than being some super hidden Sylvie that the show only remotely even touched for 10 seconds of a single episode with none of the major players and possible reincarnations so much as even noticing her existence.

Speaking of which, I noticed that in the ED, Zessica's armor resembles Celianne's. I find that very intruiging.
So anyways
Let's see, so her emotions causing distortion
The mirror rippling as if it were distorted.
Should her powers go out of control...it could be that her powers might have a negative on others, even her friends. That is, if she lets her emotions get to her. That distortion could cause an unbalance inside Aquarion itself.
I have a feeling her power is going to become very useful in the near future.

Building the best CS5 Windows machine for $3000DVDmike Apr 18, 2010 7:59 AM
I have CS4 Master Collection and run it on a dual boot XP64 and XP32 machine. I have the dual boot because I cannot get PPro CS4 to work at all on XP64. I know, it is not supported. I have been using Premiere since Version 6 I think. And of all of the Adobe programs that I use, Premiere (and PPRO) have always been to most troublesome for me. So this time, I'd like to get some assistance from all of you "hardware gurus" out there who can offer advice and help me get the most bang for my budget and deliver a reliable system for PPro CS5 and the other CS5 programs that I will use. It may be too early to give great advice at this time since the final versions have not be released. But maybe someone who has had a pre-released version could help now? Although I use many of the CS series programs, I pose the question in this forum since PPro has always been the program that has taxed my systems the most and would most often fail.
My uses for the Create Suite:
I am primarily a photographer. So I use Lightroom 2 (will upgrade to LR3) and Photoshop more than any other programs. I do extensive editing / retouching of my photos and use many plug-ins. I also design high end coffee-table books using these tools. However, I do still do some video editing and high-end compositing using Premiere Pro (mostly still CS3) and After Effects CS4. I would do more NLE work if PPRo worked better for me. I need the ability to edit at most three layers of 720P video, mostly acquired by D-SLR's. I also need to edit standard DV footage. I tend to use a lot of effects, including 3rd party effects (I am not sure how/if they will work anymore on a 64 bit program?). I do pretty advanced compositing in AE and customize a lot of AE purchased projects with lots of 3rd party effects (such as the Trapcode suite). I export video for the web, DVD, and Blu-Ray and hopefully cell phone and other devises down the road.
Reusable Hardware:
As long as I can still use SATA 3 7200rpm hard drives, I think that I have all of the hard drives that I need. I also have two 24" DVI monitors that I do not need to replace at this time. I have a 285 nvidia card, which I believe is the low end of the Mercury line that I can use? I have a blu-ray burner. Although I have never built a Windows 7 machine in the past, I think that I should have the ability to assemble the components and install the OS myself.
Hardware Needed
Given the above, does anyone have any good suggestions for what system or components that I should buy given my budget? I will definitely need:
Case, Power Supply, Motherboard, Memory, CPU(s), OS (Win 7 64?), ???
Specific Requirements:
Case: I can go with a large workstation case or even rack mounted version (I have a standard rack). Since workstation cases are usually less expensive, I am fine with going this route. The case should have good air flow and needs to have at least 2 5" bays (3 would be better). It should be easy to install internal drives into using some sort of sliding rail system like most nice cases have these days.
Motherboard: I would prefer to have an on-board SATA RAID controller to run Mirroring on my OS Drive(s). I would like to have at least 6 SATA connectors for , 2 OS drives, 3 DATA drive, 1 Optical Drive. It should have ample USB2 connectors. It would be nice to have firewire 400 and 800 too. PCIexpress Expansion slots for at least one video card and possibly a capture card would also be nice. A PCI-X 64 bit slot would be nice (I have a AJA card currently unused) legacy PCI-32 slot as well, especially if it does not have an external firewire connection. It could have one or two processor connections depending on what I can afford with my budget. I'd like the board to support at least 16GB of memory, if not 32GB. I may not be able to afford this much memory at this time, but I'd like this ability for down the road.
If I need to provide more information in order for you to help me, please let me know. If anyone would like to provide help given my requirements, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

PLEASE NOTE: The 2013 MACJC State Softball Tournament has been rescheduled for a second time due to wet field conditions at host MGCCC. It was originally scheduled for Thursday and Friday, rescheduled for Saturday and Sunday due to rain forecasts, then rescheduled for a second time to Sunday and Monday due to wet field conditions. Hopefully, this is the last "reschedule" of the tournament.
POPLARVILLE — Pearl River's Lady Wildcats will take on Itawamba's Lady Indians at 2 p.m. Sunday in opening-round action of the MACJC State Softball Tournament at South Division champ Mississippi Gulf Coast CC in Perkinston.
The tournament was originally scheduled for Thursday and Friday, but was rescheduled for Saturday and Sunday due to the forecast of rainy conditions before being rescheduled for a second time for Sunday and Monday due to wet field conditions.
ICC (31-12) secured the North's top seed via its 8-0, 3-0 doubleheader sweep over now-No. 2 East Mississippi (24-18) Monday in Fulton. PRCC (24-20) is the South Division's No. 4 seed behind No. 1 Mississippi Gulf Coast (31-8), No. 2 Jones County (36-6), and No. 3 East Central (30-14).
Holmes (19-25) is the North's No. 3 seed followed by No. 4 Northeast Mississippi (23-14).
The Lady Wildcats faced only two of the tournament's North representatives during the regular season, boasting a combined 6-0 mark against East Miss and Holmes. PRCC swept Holmes with 8-0 and 14-2 victories in Goodman, while defeating East Mississippi 5-4 and 10-2 at Scooba and 9-1 and 7-6 in Poplarville.
Gulf Coast swept in both of its doubleheaders with The River, taking 10-2 and 7-3 wins in Perkinston and 8-0 and 6-5 victories in Poplarville.
The Lady Wildcats split their twin bills with East Central and Jones County.
JCJC defeated PRCC 8-0 in Ellisville before the Lady Wildcats rebounded with a 6-5 win in the nightcap game, while Pearl River was a 10-9 winner and 16-6 loser in Poplarville.
The River defeated East Central 6-1 in Poplarville before falling 5-1 in the nightcap, while the Lady Wildcats were 8-6 winners and 5-0 losers in Decatur.
Gulf Coast and Jones County are ranked No. 7 and No. 8, respectively, in the latest NJCAA Division II poll; while Itawamba and East Mississippi received votes in the balloting.
Here is a breakdown of the tournament bracket:
12:00 NOON: South No. 2 Jones County vs. North No. 3 Holmes
2:00 PM: North No. 1 Itawamba vs. South No. 4 Pearl River
4:00 PM: North No. 2 East Mississippi vs. South No. 3 East Central

Renal vein thrombosis is a
Alternative Names
Blood clot in the renal vein; Occlusion - renal vein
Renal vein thrombosis is an uncommon disorder. It may be caused by:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Hypercoaguable state: clotting disorders
Dehydration(mostly in infants)
- Estrogen use
Nephrotic syndrome
- Pregnancy
- Scar formation with pressure on the
- Trauma (to the back or abdomen)
In adults, the most common cause is nephrotic syndrome. In infants, the most common cause is dehydration.
- Blood clot to the lung
- Bloody urine
Decreased urine output Flank painor low back pain
Exams and Tests
An exam may not reveal the specific problem. However, it may indicate nephrotic syndrome or other causes of renal vein thrombosis.
Tests include:
Abdominal CT scan Abdominal MRI Abdominal ultrasound
- Duplex Doppler exam of the renal veins
Urinalysismay show protein in the urineor red blood cells in the urine
- X-ray of the kidney veins (venography)
The treatment is focused on preventing new clot formations and reducing the risk of the clot traveling to other locations in the body (embolization).
You may get medicines that prevent blood clotting (anticoagulants). Your doctor may have rest in bed or cut down on activity for a short time.
If sudden kidney failure develops you may need
Outlook (Prognosis)
Renal vein thrombosis usually gets better over time without lasting damage to the kidneys.
Possible Complications
- Acute renal failure (especially if thrombosis occurs in a dehydrated child)
- End stage renal disease
- Blood clot moves to the lungs (
pulmonary embolism)
- Formation of new blood clots
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of renal vein thrombosis.
If you have experienced renal vein thrombosis, call your health care provider if you have:
- Decrease in urine output
Breathing problems
- Other new symptoms
In most cases, there is no specific way to prevent renal vein thrombosis. Keeping enough fluids in the body may help reduce risk.
Aspirin is sometimes used to prevent renal vein thrombosis in people who have had a kidney transplant. Blood thinners such as warfarin may be recommended in some people with chronic kidney disease.

Franken: Fed Health Care Site Getting Better
ST. PAUL, (AP) - Sen. Al Franken says it's too early to extend the signup period for insurance under the federal health overhaul.
Franken said Thursday he believes problems with the federal health insurance website are "inexcusable." But he said he thinks they're getting better.
Several of Franken's Democratic colleagues in the U.S. Senate are suggesting an extension beyond the March 31 end of open enrollment.
Franken, who is up for re-election next year, said it's too early to make that call.
Franken said he's very pleased with the progress of Minnesota's insurance exchange, which is being run by the state.

Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, urges the public to remain aware of the hazards associated with current weather conditions. Dangerously cold temperatures and the wind chill factor make being outside and traveling perilous. The Patrol is encouraging everyone to stay inside and off the road.
Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, urges the public to remain aware of the hazards associated with current weather conditions. Dangerously cold temperatures and the wind chill factor make being outside and traveling perilous. The Patrol is encouraging everyone to stay inside and off the road.
If you must travel in these conditions, please keep the following in mind:
Before you travel, gather an ice scraper, tire chains, battery booster cables, flares/reflectors, blankets, gloves, flashlight, and a bag of sand or kitty litter to place in your trunk. Also, ensure your cellular phone is fully charged and functional. Take bottled water and a snack with you. Emergencies cannot be predicted, but planning ahead can help you if one should arise.
Make sure your vehicle is in good condition with proper fluid levels and at least a half tank of fuel. Keeping your fuel tank at half full or higher prevents gas lines from freezing and will allow you to run the engine and keep warm while waiting for assistance should you become stranded. Allow extra driving time for you to reach your destination at a slow, safe speed. Remember: Missouri law states if you're using your windshield wipers, your headlights must be turned on. It takes only a second to turn on your vehicle's headlights. That second could make you more visible to other drivers and prevent a traffic crash.
If your vehicle slides off the road, stay with it. Other vehicles could put you in danger of being struck if you are outside your vehicle. Temperatures are frigid and walking for help could put you at risk of frostbite. Frostbite occurs when the skin and body tissues are exposed to cold temperatures for a prolonged period of time. You are more susceptible to this condition the longer you are outside. Frostbite may affect any part of the body, although the hands, feet, nose, and ears are most vulnerable. Wet clothing, high winds, and poor circulation can contribute to frostbite. If you must be outside, wear layers of clothing, mittens rather than gloves, wind-proof/water-resistant clothing, hat, scarf, etc. Limit how long you are outside.
Col. Replogle reminds motorists, "It is dangerously cold outside. I would encourage you to stay home if at all possible. If you must drive, plan ahead and be a courteous driver. Please slow down, pay attention, and wear your seat belt."
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is here to serve and protect. If you become stranded or see another vehicle stranded on the side of the road with passengers, please call the Missouri State Highway Patrol emergency number at 1-800-525-5555 or dial *55 on a cellular phone. These numbers ring at the nearest troop headquarters.
Missouri's Road Condition Report (1-888-275-6636) can help you plan your route--before you leave. You may also view MoDOT's Road Condition Map by going to the Patrol's web site www.mshp.dps.mo.gov and clicking on the Road Condition icon.
The Patrol encourages motorists and watercraft operators to protect themselves by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint and everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!!!

I'm never going to make garlic potato fries any other way.
These garlic fries, win hands down as the best garlic french fries I've ever made. Plus they are baked – so I won't feel too guilty if I make it every time I'm craving for some potato comfort.
When I read that there is garlic infused oil involved, my heart skipped a beat (in a good way, not the way oil would otherwise treat your heart). I got down to making them immediately. I used extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil because I just love the aroma that garlic and olive oil combine to impart. And added to potatoes while baking – how could it be anything short of perfect? I also used more garlic to make my fries extra garlicky!

These garlic fries are incredibly simple to make and are so full of flavour. They were gobbled down as soon as they were out of the oven. I had to hear a lot of "Take the photos next time!" and "Can I pick just one?" while I was trying to capture some shots of these crispy, golden babies.

Garlic Fries

Adapted from: Lottie + Doof
8 garlic cloves, minced or grated
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 russet potatoes (about 8oz each), each cut into 12 wedges
3 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
1 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 russet potatoes (about 8oz each), each cut into 12 wedges
3 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
1 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Microplane to grating the garlic

warm and soft interior
- Preheat oven to 225°C/440° F.
- Combine the garlic and oil in a large bowl, warming it until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Transfer 5 tablespoons of the oil (leaving the garlic in the bowl) to the baking sheet, coating it well.
- Add the potatoes to the bowl with the garlic mixture and toss to coat. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the potatoes are translucent around the edges, 3 to 6 minutes, shaking the bowl to redistribute the potatoes halfway through cooking.
- Combine the cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the hot potatoes and toss well to coat.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake, turning once, until deep golden brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Serve with ketchup, mayo or sour cream.
Update: Given that I do not like to use the microwave for cooking (I don't even own one), and plastic cling wrap is a little scary to use, I have tried making these garlic fries by par-boiling the potatoes and then letting them steam dry by laying them in a single layer on kitchen napkin. I proceeded with step 5 and it turned out to be SO GOOD!

Story and photos by Larry Austin
Law enforcement came out in numbers Sunday to go to bat for children with special needs.
The Miracle League of Grand Island and Western New York hosted Law Enforcement Day at the Veterans Park diamond. The game featured volunteer "Superstar Buddies" from police agencies, who supplemented the regular buddies of the Miracle League to help the ballplayers on the basepaths and in the field.
"It was a great day for the Miracle League and a great day for everybody that attended," said event organizer Mike Hilliker, who covered the Island for many years as a member of county law enforcement. Among the law enforcement personnel who were buddies for the game were members of the Grand Island Police, U.S. Border Patrol, Amherst Police, Town of Tonawanda Police, New York State Troopers, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, State Parks Police, Erie County District Attorney's Office and New York State Court system.
"This was phenomenal. We put this together in about a month's time and the response from the law enforcement agencies was great," Hilliker said.
The adaptive ball diamond built at the town's Bedell Road park allows children with disabilities an opportunity to play baseball.
"All the participants had a great time," Hilliker said. "I saw some tears in the eyes of some of the police officers, who are supposed to be tough guys, but when they saw what they were dealing with today I could see that it was opening their hearts and putting big smiles on their faces. To me, it was a day well worth it."
This was the first-ever Law Enforcement Day, but not the last.
"It's definitely going to be an annual thing," Hilliker said. "We hope to increase the number of ballplayers and the number of law enforcement agencies that come and participate."
The Miracle League will host superstar buddies from the Buffalo Bisons Saturday, Aug. 4, at 2 p.m., and from the Buffalo Sabres Alumni on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m.

What is the Google Developer Group?
|New GDG Vienna Logo
|Previous GTUG Vienna Logo
The Google Developer Group GDG Vienna (previously GTUG Vienna) is a group for people interested in using or developing with Google technologies. We meet in the evenings on last or next-to-last Tuesday of each month. Sometimes we have bigger events like hackathons and we're generally interested in finding new formats of events. We're not affiliated with Google, nor are we a Google fan club. Hacks and critisim are very welcome! We're constantly looking for local developers to speak on our meetups. If you work on the project that you think could be interesting to share with others, feel free to come over and talk about it!

Google I/O Extended
If you can't attend Google I/O in person, this is a way to still connect with other talented developers and watch the keynote and other major sessions live. Part viewing party and part community building, Google I/O Extended is a free event focused on live-streaming parts of Google I/O.
As there will be two live streams (at least there were last year) we will have two rooms accordingly.

Thanks to Randy Seaver at geneamusings, it's time for some Saturday night genealogy fun! This week it's Ancestor Roulette! Our mission:
1) What year was one of your great-grandfathers born? Divide this number by 100 and round the number off to a whole number. This is your "roulette number."
2) Use your pedigree charts or your family tree genealogy software program to find the person with that number in your ancestral name list (some people call it an "ahnentafel"). Who is that person, and what are his/her vital information?
3) Tell us three facts about that person in your ancestral name list with the "roulette number."
4) Write about it in a blog post on your own blog, in a Facebook status or a Google Stream post, or as a comment on this blog post.
5) NOTE: If you do not have a person's name for your "roulette number" then "spin" the wheel again - pick a great-grandmother, a grandfather, a parent, a favorite aunt or cousin, yourself, or even your children!
Here's mine:
1) My great grandfather, Abraham Gunzendorfer was born 28 April 1869, which makes my "roulette" number 18.69 or 17.
2) The person in my "Ahnentafel List" at number 17 is Fredericka (AKA Frances) Wilzinski. Fredericka is my 2nd great grandmother. Her vital information is:
Born 20 April 1840 in Germany.
Married Benjamin Benas in 1875.
Died 4 October 1915 in San Francisco, California.
3) Three facts:
* Fredericka and Benjamin had 4 children – Isaac (1863-1951), Goldie (1864-1926), Max (1867-1928), Morris (1872-1929). Goldie was my great grandmother, mother of my paternal grandfather, Sigmund Levy.
* Fredericka was the daughter of Tobias Wilzinski (1816-1890) and Amelia Jackson (1816-1902).
* Fredericka was also known as Frances, I'm guessing in an effort to "Americanize" her name. I had a hard time finding her grave at first as the listing showed as Frederick (and at the time I only knew her as Frances) so I thought she was really a he! She is buried at Hills of Eternity in Colma, California.
I don't know much more about Fredericka and I have not photos of her. At least no photos that I can identify as her. I hope one day I'll be able to rectify that.
Thanks for the fun!

Play Ideas for Developing Fine Motor Skills
Anybody else find that the stage between 12 and 15 months was a tricky one to entertain and teach? Don't get me wrong, it is full of milestones. Everything from speech to walking to waving can occur in this momentous time. Babies reciprocate a lot of what they've learned. And yet I always found developmental toys a challenge. Everything is so prohibitive, "CHOKING HAZARD", "NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER THREE YEARS OLD", the labels threaten. Kylie at How We Montessori circumvents all this, and has some pretty good ideas specifically for developing fine motor skills.
You don't have to be a loyal disciple of Maria Montessori to get something out of Kylie's "lessons" with 13-month-old son Otis. She uses a mat on the floor for each activity, and Otis can even get everything out himself. Of course, each activity must be put away before you begin the next. I don't know about you, but I'm a little in awe of the capacity and concentration of such a young child.
Read more about Maria Montessori's philosophy on the hand-brain connection and how Otis is learning to exercise it at How We Montessori.

Jim Napoleon Garcia, veteran who died in Albuquerque VA hospital, served in Vietnam
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A veteran who collapsed in an Albuquerque veterans hospital cafeteria — 500 yards from an emergency room — before he died was a 71-year-old husband who had served in the Vietnam War, his family said Monday.
The family of Jim Napoleon Garcia provided his name but declined to comment further about the death that drew national attention as the Department of Veterans Affairs is scrutinized over the care of vets.
Hospital officials confirmed it took 15 to 20 minutes for the ambulance to be dispatched and take Garcia to the emergency room — a five-minute walk from the cafeteria.
No further information was available on the cause of Garcia's collapse, exactly when he died, or whether an automated external defibrillator was available nearby.
Kirtland Air Force Medical Group personnel performed CPR until the ambulance arrived, VA spokeswoman Sonja Brown said.
Staff members followed local policy in calling 911 when the man collapsed on June 30, she said. "Our policy is under expedited review," Brown said.
Hospital emergency experts said it's standard for hospitals to require staff to call 911, even with patients are near an emergency room.
Garcia's wife, Carol, said her husband had served in Vietnam from 1964 to 1966.
She said the couple moved to Albuquerque in 1994 from North Hollywood, California. "We're having a lot of people call us but we are not releasing any statements right now," she said.
The family said Garcia was an active member of the Innocents Car Club of North Hollywood, The Bottle and Insulator Club of New Mexico, and a collector of coins, insulators and Depression-era glasses.
His death came as the Department of Veterans Affairs is under scrutiny for widespread reports of long delays for treatment and medical appointments and of veterans dying while on waiting lists.
A recent review cited significant and chronic system failures in the nation's health system for veterans. The review also portrayed the struggling agency as battling a corrosive culture of distrust, lacking in resources and ill-prepared to deal with an influx of new and older veterans with a range of medical and mental health care needs.
Audit findings show scheduling schemes and other violations of department policy proliferated throughout the Southwest and were common nationwide.
Officials with the VA center in Albuquerque have repeatedly denied having secret waiting lists but acknowledged only recently that the system in New Mexico has problems with waiting times.

Court weighs class-action securities suits change
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed open to the possibility of making it harder for investors to join together to sue corporations for securities fraud — but maybe not as hard as companies that have to defend such lawsuits would like.
Most justices appeared unwilling to completely overturn a quarter-century-old decision that has helped investors launch class-action cases based on the effect misleading statements have on a company's stock price.
But some conservative justices — including Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has often been a swing vote — suggested a middle ground that would force investors to show earlier in a case that the alleged fraud actually caused the stock price to drop.
The justices heard arguments in an appeal by Halliburton Co. that seeks to block a class-action lawsuit claiming the energy services company inflated its stock price. A group of investors say they lost money when Halliburton's stock price dropped after revelations the company misrepresented revenues, understated its liability in asbestos litigation and overstated the benefits of a merger.
Halliburton lawyer Aaron Streett urged the court to overturn its 1988 decision in Basic v. Levinson — a case that sparked a tidal wave of securities-related, class-action lawsuits against publicly traded companies and has led to billions in settlements.
The Basic case says shareholders who claim they were defrauded by false statements in securities filings don't have to prove they actually relied on the statements. Rather, the court reasoned that any misrepresentation would be reflected in the current stock price. Even if investors are not aware of the misstatements, they are presumed to be aware of them because they affect the stock price.
This presumption, known as the "fraud-on-the-market theory," has become the driving force for modern class-action securities cases. But Streett said "it was wrong when it was decided and it is even more clearly erroneous today," because it doesn't account for the sometimes random and arbitrary nature of modern stock trading.
Four of the Supreme Court's conservative justices — Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Kennedy and Samuel Alito — said in a ruling last year that they were willing to reconsider the Basic decision.
But during the arguments Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts questioned whether overturning the case entirely was practical, saying different economists have opposing arguments over whether Basic remains sound.
"How am I supposed to review the economic literature and decide which of you is right on that?" Roberts asked.
Kennedy suggested seeking a middle ground that would leave the precedent largely intact but place another hurdle for investors to certify a class. The compromise, proposed by a group of law professors in a friend of the court brief, would require a special "event study" before a class is approved. The study would determine whether the company's alleged fraud actually had an effect on the stock price. If it did, then the class could be certified and the case could move forward. If not, then investors cannot win class certification.
David Boies, attorney for the investors suing Halliburton, argued that such event studies are time-consuming and costs and expenses for investors would "increase enormously." He argued that the court should keep the Basic decision intact because Congress has passed legislation over the past two decades assuming it is the law of the land.
More than 3,000 private class-action securities fraud lawsuits have been filed since 1997, generating more than $73 billion in settlements, according to a group of former Securities and Exchange Commission members who filed a brief urging the court to overturn the 1988 precedent.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers argue in court briefs that the current doctrine has led to significant costs for investors and businesses and bred confusion in the courts. But the Obama administration has urged the court not to overrule Basic, saying its premise remains sound.
The justices are expected to make a ruling before summer.

Abstract and Keywords
This article discusses the African American social welfare system that began to develop during the early 20th century. This social welfare system, designed by African Americans to serve African Americans, addressed needs that were not being met by any other formal social services while the nascent social work profession was emerging. The myriad programs included settlement houses, boys and girls programs, training schools, and day nurseries. The women's club movement played a critical role in the development of this social welfare system and provided much of the impetus for change and inclusion. Through formal organizations, including the National Urban League (NUL) and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), and an array of clubs and social groups, social services were extended to urban and rural communities throughout the United States.
Keywords: African Americans, NUL, settlement movement, social welfare, UNIA, women's clubs, training schools

Before Shane Cockerille found his seat at Byrd Stadium for Maryland's Red-White spring game on Saturday, the Gilman quarterback felt the need to pay Terps coach Randy Edsall a quick visit.
"I was ready to [commit] when I walked in," Cockerille said. "I told Coach [Edsall that I was committing] and it put a big smile on his face. He said he was more excited than I was. It feels great. It feels like a relief."
Cockerille picked Maryland over offers from Michigan, Navy, Temple and Virginia. All but the Wolverines recruited the 6-foot-2, 210-pound junior as a quarterback.
A Towson native, Cockerille said he "always wanted" to play football for Maryland. He got the chance to earn his Terps offer last season after transferring from DeMatha and earning the starting quarterback job at Gilman. For the Greyhounds, Cockerille proved to be an accurate pro-style passer and a dynamic running threat.
"[The Maryland coaches] just like me as a tough kid that's mobile, can run the ball and throw," said Cockerille, who threw for approximately 1,110 yards, rushed for nearly 1,300 yards and had 26 total touchdowns as a junior. "[Maryland offensive coordinator Mike] Locksley said he'll adapt the offense to what I can do."
Under Cockerille's direction, the No. 1 Greyhounds finished the 2011 season with a 10-1 record and a win over Calvert Hall for the MIAA A Conference championship. Kenneth Goins, a Maryland-bound fullback who protected Cockerille on Gilman's title team, was ecstatic to learn that they would team up again in College Park.
"When he first heard, he just said congratulations and gave me a high-five," Cockerille said. "Then he said, 'Welcome to the family. Now let's try to get some more guys from our school up there.'"
Maryland's success with in-state players in the 2012 class "played a big role" in Cockerille's decision. With Goins at fullback and Good Counsel's Stefon Diggs and Wes Brown at wide receiver and running back, respectively, Cockerille said he'll have no shortage of weapons to work with under center.
"Guys like that want to be there, and I know I'll always want to be there," he said. "When you compete against guys you played against in high school and played with on your team, it's just an awesome feeling getting back together."
Now that he's committed, Cockerille said the Terps coaches have asked him to "do a little hometown recruiting" and keep Maryland's positive in-state momentum going. For a lifelong Maryland fan like Cockerille, selling the Terps to other prospects is something that he's happy to do.
"Growing up all I wanted to do was be a Terp," Cockerille said. "So it's a dream come true."

New Year's Eve is a tough night for dining out, even tougher than figuring out which Albuquerque restaurants close on Sundays and which ones close on Mondays. Some of the places you'd expect to be open on a big, fancy night, close because they want to spend the holiday with their own friends and family. But then there are the little mom 'n' pop joints that remain inexplicably open. Some of the restaurants serving on New Year's Seasons will simply serve their regular menus, perhaps with the addition of a special or two. Others, like those listed here, have chosen to lure diners with flashy menus full of flown-in seafood, prime rib and filet mignon. Many of the prix-fixe dinners include wine; some don't. Be sure to go over all the details when you call, and call you must.
If a drive to the East Mountains sounds like just the sort of romantic getaway you had in mind, then consider the four-course wine-pairing dinner at Asian-inspired Nouveau Noodles. The evening's menu puts homey dishes like pork empanadas with interesting wines (in this case, McManus Family Syrah). A fried oyster salad is designed to be washed down with Rudi Weist Rhein River Riesling. It would seem impossible to match the evening's main course, coffee-crusted sirloin kabobs in a Szechwan sauce, might seem too multi-culti to be successfully paired with wine, but there must be something just deep but still fruity enough about the Lawson Ranch Cabernet that makes it work. If you want to experience the wine pairings, Nouveau Noodles' dinner costs $42 plus tax. Without wine it's $30. Call 286-5886 for reservations.
At Old Town's Ambrozia, the chefs will be cooking up a five-course menu comprised of some of their favorite dishes from the past two years. The dinner costs $85 per person, including champagne. You can expect knockout dishes like stone crab claws with champagne mustard sauce, freshly shucked oyster and cracked conch salad. At Ambrozia, even simple dishes are elevated to new heights, so when they offered Hoppin' John last year, it was no simple dish of black-eyed peas; Roasted sea bass in a sauce of lobster Thermidor bathed a black-eyed pea risotto. Each dish will be paired with its own wine, which is not included in the price. Choose between an early seating (5:30 p.m.) and a late one (8:30 p.m.). Call 242-6560 for reservations.
Or would a few whispered words of Italian be just what your significant other wants to hear? La Piazza is planning on a three-course prix-fixe dinner with plenty of choices, from calamari and shrimp salad with arugula in a lemon vinaigrette to chicken Marsala and shrimp ravioli. Drink Chianti and hold hands like teenagers! There are seven seating times from 5 until 9 p.m. Call 266-4414 for reservations.
At Zinc in Nob Hill, the main dining room will offer a few specials in addition to the regular menu, but the Cellar Bar will be hoppin' with live music a four course prix-fixe dinner of $55. A reservation in the bar entitles you to lounge for two hours while you savor three half-glasses of wine or champagne and choose from plates like duck confit egg rolls, baked oysters, braised lamb ragù or prime rib for two. You should have no excuse to refuse the delectable chocolate truffles or champagne sorbet for dessert. The bar normally allows smoking, but on New Year's Eve they'll prohibit smoking until 10 p.m. The last seating is at 9:30, so if you care for an after-dinner cigar then you'd be well advised to call 254-9462 for reservations as soon as possible.
For something a little more out of the ordinary, check out Pars Cuisine, the Persian restaurant near Century Rio 24 Theatre. Pars New Year's package includes a full dinner, dessert and a glass of champagne for $36 per person or $66 per couple. Vegetarians will appreciate the non-meat options and meat lovers are sure to love the spicy kabobs. Linger on your floor cushions while belly dancers roam through the dining room. There are two seatings, one from 5:30 until 8 p.m. and the other from 8:30 until midnight.

And that's a tan, not dirt, I'll have you know.
Also read some books, one of which featured this page:
Which reminded me somewhat of something that my pal Grum drew based on a story I wrote back in 2003.
Elsewhere, watched Tron Legacy for the second time and loved it even more than I did the first time. Seriously, I actually understood the story this time round. And I preferred it being in 2D rather than 3D. Anyway, this has of course led to me wanting a Tron costume. I would totally rock this. I would look so awesome playing frisbee in the park dressed like this.
… and - ooo, squeal! - light-up Tron headphones!

Life issues from the test tube to the deathbed are on the agenda for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' fall general assembly. The meeting in Baltimore from Nov. 16 to 19 will also include what the bishops hope will be their final consideration of action items related to the Roman Missal. They will also debate and vote on a lengthy document on marriage.
Health care. Up for debate by the bishops is a proposed revision to the directives that guide Catholic heath care facilities. "As a general rule, there is an obligation to provide patients with food and water, including medically assisted nutrition and hydration for those who cannot take food orally," says the revised text of the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services proposed by the U.S. bishops' Committee on Doctrine. "This obligation extends to patients in chronic conditions (e.g., the 'persistent vegetative state') who can reasonably be expected to live indefinitely if given such care," the new text adds.
Missal. With five votes on the English translation and U.S. adaptations of the Roman Missal, the bishops hope to conclude nearly six years of intense and sometimes contentious consultations. Each section of the missal must be approved by two-thirds of the U.S.C.C.B.'s Latin-rite membership and will then be sent to the Vatican for recognitio, or confirmation.
While awaiting Vatican approval of all sections of the Missal, the U.S. church will begin "a process of catechesis," said Msgr. Anthony Sherman, executive director of the bishops' Office of Divine Worship, "so that everyone is ready to move along when we get the final text from the Vatican."
Marriage. The 57-page proposed pastoral letter on marriage is to be issued in the hope of reversing what the bishops call "a disturbing trend" toward viewing marriage as "a mostly private matter," with personal satisfaction as its only goal. The letter, called Marriage: Life and Love in the Divine Plan, cites four "fundamental challenges to the nature and purpose of marriage": contraception, same-sex unions, divorce and cohabitation. Calling both contraception and cohabitation "intrinsically evil," the bishops say that although couples who use contraception "may think that they are doing nothing harmful to their marriages," they are in reality causing many negative consequences, both personal and societal.
Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Ky., who chairs the bishops' Ad Hoc Committee for the Defense of Marriage, also will report on efforts to promote and protect marriage as the exclusive and permanent union be-tween a man and a woman.

Graphic Arts Fine Arts Center named in honor of MACC President Evelyn Jorgenson
In spite of a severe weather warning, Moberly's Municipal auditorium rang with laughter and song during the final event honoring Dr. Evelyn Jorgenson's 27 years at Moberly Area Community College.
The evening's highlight came during a special presentation from the MACC Board of Trustees in honor of Dr. Jorgenson. In addition to naming her President Emeritus upon her retirement, the Board announced a new title for the Graphic Arts wing.
"Tonight, we are recognizing just one of her many accomplishments, but one that is near and dear to her heart," Board of Trustees President Greg Walker said. "We would like that association to continue, so the Board will take action next week to formally rename the Graphics Arts wing. Going forward, it will bear the name of one of its greatest advocates as the Evelyn E. Jorgenson Graphic Arts Fine Arts Center."
In 2002, the MACC Coliseum was remodeled to provide an updated and expanded space for the Graphic Arts & Fine Arts programs, including a gallery, classrooms and studios. At the same time, Dr. Jorgenson introduced the Endowment for the Arts to promote cultural events and artistic projects at the College. The Endowment allows the College to support visual and performing art and artists at its campuses and in the communities it serves throughout central and northeast Missouri. Currently, the Endowment stands at approximately $82,000.
"I am incredibly honored and pleased to have Center named in my behalf. I'm so thankful to the Board of Trustees for their support over the years and I am so grateful for their recognition." Jorgenson commented. "Because my Bachelor's degree is in fine arts, I've always felt the arts were important and have tried to highlight them throughout my time at MACC. That's why I advocated for events like Art on the Block and the Endowment for the Arts over the years."
Saturday's event included a fundraiser for the Endowment for the Arts. Five banks, created by current MACC students, were displayed around the Auditorium. Attendees were invited to "vote" with donations for their favorite bank. A submission by Grant VanBoening, from Paris, was the winner, earning him a $250 cash prize and a free 3-hour MACC class. Nearly $2000 in donations was collected for the Endowment.
Saturday evening's affair featured music by Plato and the Philosophers, along with a dinner catered by Chef Jeff. Dr. Jeff Lashley, Vice President for Instruction, led the evening's festivities, calling up attending dignitaries and MACC faculty to offer memories of Dr. Jorgenson.
Representative Nate Walker, of the 3rd District, was on hand to officially present Dr. Jorgenson with a resolution from members of the Missouri House of Representatives. He thanked Dr. Jorgenson for her dedication to education throughout the region, calling her the "Dean of Community College Presidents" for her long-term leadership in the state.
Along with the House Resolution, Senator Brian Munzlinger, of the 18th District, sponsored a resolution from the Missouri Senate. The cities of Moberly and Kirksville also sent resolutions for the event.
Dr. Jorgenson said, "I do appreciate the resolution from the Missouri House of Representatives and the fact that Representatives from the communities in our 16-county service region where MACC has sites all signed the resolution. I will treasure these resolutions along with the many memories of working with Missouri legislators and city officials through the years."
Gary Steffes, Vice President of Finance, provided some light-hearted comments in honor of Chuck Jorgenson's years at the side of Dr. Jorgenson. Chuck was presented with a box of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls imprinted with the Greyhound team name in recognition of his long-standing association with the basketball program.
Dr. Andrew Komar, President Emeritus, wrapped up the event with his memories of Dr. Jorgenson.
Dr. Evelyn E. Jorgenson spent 27 years at MACC, with 17 as president. She will retire officially on June 30, 2013.
Representative Tim Remole delivers a resolution to Dr. Evelyn Jorgenson from the Missouri House of Representatives honoring her 27 years of service to Missouri Community Colleges. Representative Nate Walker formally presented the resolution at Jorgenson's retirement party on Saturday evening.

BNI CBD Connect
Wednesday, 4 April 2018 from 6:30 am to 8:30 am (AEST)
Event Details
As a group of business owners, we share two particular interests: learning and giving referrals. Learning helps us to improve our businesses, and referrals help us to grow them (because referrals are five times more likely to turn into a sale).
That's why we set aside two hours every Wednesday morning to meet. We learn from each other and pass referrals. We've become good at it, last year we passed over $20 million among the group, and we're always looking to meet other businesses so we can send more referrals.
It would be great to meet you at one of our meetings to learn about your business and to see how we could help you with referrals.
As part of the meeting this Wednesday, two of our members will be presenting on topics of real interest
Business meeting details are as follows:
- Address: Castlereagh Boutique Hotel at Level 4, 169 Castlereagh Street, Sydney CBD.
- Time: 6:30 am and we finish around 8:45 am
The meeting costs $50 and includes a full hot breakfast.
Please note that we do not accept cash payment at the door. Credit cards are accepted.
What to bring: IMPORTANT
- Please bring plenty of business cards (recommend 60+ to cover everyone)
How to prepare:
- We will invite you to give a brief 20-second introduction of your name and business name and be prepared to meet 50+ business owners before and after the meeting.
- Your 20 seconds introduction should be along the lines of:
- "Hi my name is John Smith from ABC Accounting, and I am an accountant. We specialise in Tax returns for Small to Medium businesses in the Sydney Metro area. An ideal referral is anyone looking to have a small boutique firm looking after their accounts with a very friendly personalised service for a fraction of the price"

text: blog postsHalfway ThereOct 24, 2013 7:54 pm by Jennifer TaiShare on FacebookTweetEmailWe've finally crossed into the second half of the semester! That means the first wave of midterm exams are complete – that we may, or may not, be feeling good about. If that last exam crept up on you and you found yourself wishing you could pause time to clock in a few extra hours of studying, don't worry, we've all been there. As a current senior, I've seen my fair share of classroom habits and I'm here to pass on some of my favorites. When you study, study How many times do you find yourself checking your phone, Facebook newsfeed, and reddit/ESPN/Instagram updates? When you sit down to study for 3 hours are you really studying for the full 3 hours? Set study time aside to concentrate and be effective. I've found success with the Self Control App that allows you to block access to websites for designated amounts of time. Go to class and pay attention Sounds easy enough but how often do you catch up on emails, doze off, or skip class entirely? You'll be amazed by how much you learn if you just pay attention. Learn the material the first time it's presented and take good notes. Reread your notes after class I know this one sounds brutal but if you understand each lesson after it's taught, you won't be overwhelmed when the exam rolls around. It'll keep you up to date and the lessons that follow will reinforce your understanding rather than accumulate in a looming cloud of confusion. Understand the big picture Students get tied up with the details of class material and don't understand the overall picture. Understanding the class framework will help you link together material as the class moves forward. All in all, exams serve to sharpen your understanding of class material, and not serve as certified stress inducers. Best of luck on your next exam and hopefully these tips come into good use!stats52 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment
