No charges will be filed in the case of the stray bullet that struck a window at Resica Elementary School while students were in classes on April 11.
The Monroe County District Attorney's office reviewed the incident and a ballistics test and determined that no criminal negligence existed, according to state police in Swiftwater.
The test, conducted at the Pennsylvania State Police Crime Lab showed the stray bullet came from one of the firearms that were being used for target shooting by a group of men about one half a mile away.
The bullet struck the outer pane of a second grade classroom window but didn't penetrate the inner pane of the double-paned window. No one was hurt, although one 7-year-old was said to have complained of a scratch, according to a parent and school officials.
When police arrived six or seven minute after the bullet struck the window they could hear shots, according to Lt. Robert Bartal of Troop N State Police. Troopers tracked down the people who were target shooting with handguns and rifles about a half mile away from the school.
Students were moved to another part of the school which remained in lockdown until the shooters were located.
Twenty students were in the classroom when the bullet hit the window.
Police questioned four men between the ages of 18 and 21 who were target shooting close by.
School district officials invited parents and faculty to the school to discuss the incident the next day. Parents were shocked to learn from Cpl. Norman Cramer of the state police at Swiftwater that a gun could be legally discharged 50 yards from the school.
School officials said faculty and staff were careful to follow procedures set forth by the school crisis committee, and parents generally commended them for their actions.
Resica Elementary School is on Route 402 in Middle Smithfield Township.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Babson College (9-3, 3-0 NEWMAC) responded to an early 3-0 deficit with a strong second half en route to a 15-12 victory over MIT (3-5, 1-2 NEWMAC) on Tuesday night at Jack Barry Field. Sophomore Anita Martignetti carried the Beavers with seven goals and two assists. Senior Deanna Lentz led the Engineers with five goals and two helpers.
Back in action for the first time since April 1, MIT came out fast and quickly found results. Freshman Mary Hatch scored just 52 seconds into the game and Lentz tallied twice in the next minute, staking the Engineers to an early 3-0 lead. But before long, the Beavers woke up and provided an answer.
At 2:19, freshman Kate Nichols found the back of the net, and Martignetti followed at 3:09 with her first score of the game. Junior Mary Harding and Lentz each scored to reestablish MIT's three goal lead, but Martignetti again brought the Beavers back with goals at 13:43 and 15:43. The teams traded goals twice before the half ended and the Engineers remained in front, 7-6.
Clinging to a one goal lead to begin the second frame, the Engineers watched the Beavers go on a 4-0 run, capped by a pair of goals from freshman Jackie Godfrey. Down 10-7 and falling fast, MIT received a much needed boost from Lentz. She scored her fourth goal of the game at 12:36 and assisted on Hatch's second score at 14:28 to bring MIT within a goal.
But as good as Lentz was, Martignetti was better. The Babson star scored three more times and added an assist over the next six minutes, increasing the Beavers' lead to 15-9 with just over five minutes to play. The Engineers got two goals back in the closing minutes but came up on the short end of a 15-12 final.
With seven goals and two assists, Martignetti set a season high for points (nine). Also coming up big for the Beavers were freshman Jackie Godfrey (three goals, one assist) and Kate Nichols (two goals). In the losing effort, Mary Hatch had a career high three goals and two assists, and Mary Harding also added three scores for MIT.
Babson junior goalkeeper Jennie Williams made three saves in the win, while junior Hee Jay Kang turned aside four shots for MIT.
The Engineers will host Mount Holyoke College (4-7, 1-2 NEWMAC) on Saturday, April 15 in their last home game of the season. The NEWMAC contest will begin at 1:00 p.m.

I am a little bit like Jigsaw Jones because he likes to hang out with his grandma and so do I. I am also like Eddie because he lied in the book and I lie sometimes too. I learned that it is better to tell the truth then to lie.
My favorite part of the book was when Eddie confessed to stealing his own baseball cards. I liked this part best because it is good to tell the truth.
I would recommend this story because it is a good mystery. I think boys and girls from 6-12 would like this story.

Ferrante died of natural causes early Saturday at his home in Longboat Key, Fla., his manager, Scott W. Smith, said Sunday. Lou Teicher died in August 2008 at age 83.
"Although we were two individuals, at the twin pianos our brains worked as one," Ferrante said last year after Teicher's death.
The classically trained pair met and became friends at the Juilliard School in New York, where they both had enrolled as children.
A few years after graduating, they rejoined as a piano duo and toured the country throughout the 1950s, playing 9-foot concert pianos while facing each other on stage. The pianists relied on their classical repertoire during the main concert performance but skipped to pop songs and novelty tunes for encores.
Over the course of their 40-year partnership, the "Grand Twins of the Twin Grands" recorded 150 albums, racking up 22 gold and platinum records and selling 90 million records worldwide, and performed 5,200 concerts before retiring in 1989.
"They made beautiful music, but they were not easy listening," Smith said. "They were very dynamic."
In 1960, Ferrante and Teicher teamed with producer Don Costa to record their arrangement of the theme to the Billy Wilder film "The Apartment." The single shot up to Billboard's Top 10, as did their next movie recording that same year, the theme to "Exodus," based on Ernest Gold's soundtrack music. The duo continued to please their audience with embellished versions of movie music performed on their twin pianos along with a full orchestra and chorus.
Next up was a Top 10 recording of "Tonight," Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's song from "West Side Story" in 1961.
They soon became known as the Movie Theme Team after releasing themes from "One-Eyed Jacks" (1961), "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962), "Cleopatra" (1963) and others. They finished the decade in 1969 by earning a Top 10 hit with the theme from "Midnight Cowboy," based on John Barry's soundtrack tune.
" 'The Apartment' record came out while we were on tour, and after just a couple weeks we started noticing our audiences were acting different," Teicher told the Chicago Tribune in 1987. "Whereas before they would be listening raptly to our classical music, now they were rustling their programs and obviously not too interested in what was going on. So we did the only thing we could: We switched styles, and we haven't regretted it for a minute."
Arthur Richard Ferrante was born Sept. 7, 1921, in New York City. Three years older than Teicher, he entered Juilliard at age 9. They both studied piano with Carl Friedberg, and Ferrante graduated in 1940.
He returned to Juilliard a few years later as a piano instructor and played at night in clubs with Teicher. In the late '40s, the duo began touring the United States and Canada and in 1952 made their first recordings.
Showmen from the start, they weren't content to merely play notes from a sheet of music. They began altering their pianos, adding mutes and other objects such as metal chains, glass, wood and cardboard to the strings to create different sounds. And they didn't only strike the keys, they would pluck, pound or strum the strings inside the piano to make alternative sounds.
These "gimmicks," as they called them, landed them spots on the leading TV variety programs of the day, including "The Ed Sullivan Show," "The Tonight Show," "The Dean Martin Show," and invitations to perform at the White House for presidents Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan.
Ferrante is survived by his wife, Jena; a daughter, Brenda Eberhardt; and two granddaughters.

Justice Carol Ronning Kapsner
Judge Bruce Romanick
Justice Mary Muehlen Maring
Christine Hogan
Ted Gladden, Executive Secretary
It was moved and seconded to approve the minutes of the August 13, 2003 minutes as distributed. Motion carried.
Chair John Paulson discussed appointments to a number of committees. He indicated that Judges Dawson and Rustad agreed to serve on the Jury Standards Committee. Judge Holte has agreed to continue serving on the Jury Standards Committee. Judges Simonson and Webb have agreed to reappointments to the Pattern Jury Instruction Commission. It was moved and seconded to approve the slate of appointees to the various committees. Motion carried.
Ted Gladden then discussed the status of the request for a visiting judge from Cameroon, Africa, to attend the June Judicial Conference. He stated that he had visited with the relative of the judge from Cameroon indicating that it might be more productive to attend functions sponsored by the Minnesota judiciary. He referred the individual to representatives in the Minnesota judiciary stating that if she was still interested in pursuing his attendance at the Judicial Conference, to please contact him. Judge Hagerty stated that she felt it was the consensus to invite the federal judiciary to the June Judicial Conference meeting. In response to a question regarding the magistrates, bankruptcy judge, and senior federal district judges, there was an agreement that they should also be extended invitations.
Christine Hogan then spoke about the 2004 State Bar Convention that will be held June 8 through 11, 2004, at the Ramada Plaza Suites in Fargo. She indicated that the participation of judges is critical in making this a successful convention. They have expended substantial resources in assuring a good slate of speakers for the conference, and they are very hopeful that they will have a very good turnout for this year's program. She indicated that the rates for the judicial participants would be raised from $245 to $260. She then reviewed the agenda with the Executive Committee. The Wednesday program will be a constitutional symposium on death penalty cases and then activities in the afternoon. Thursday will be devoted to sessions on negotiation skills and Friday will be on ethics and a presentation by Dennis Archer, President of the American Bar Association. After discussion, it was concluded that the only Judicial Conference function would be the breakfast meeting. There was consensus that all business for the Judicial Conference could be conducted during the breakfast meeting allowing the judges to participate fully in the Bar agenda.
Staff was directed to reserve rooms at facilities immediately adjacent to the Ramada Plaza Suites that will honor the state rate for those not wishing to pay the extra to stay at the Ramada Plaza Suites.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

[Illinois] BioNanotechnology Seminar Series Fall 2012: Understanding and Controlling Fibrotic Myocardium
Published on
Hypertension kills 1 in every 5000 Americans each year and affects the majority of those over the age of 55. Following prolonged hypertension, cardiac fibroblasts within the heart convert to myofibroblasts, a larger, contractile phenotype that produces fibrous connective tissue and thereby stiffens heart muscle. In addition to this mechanical effect, myofibroblasts disrupt normal patterns of electrical excitation of cardiomyoctyes, potentially leading to cardiac failure through any of several pathways. Therapies that control myofibroblasts would evidently be of value, but little is known about their mechanical and electrophysiological interactions with cardiomyocytes. We therefore developed and analyzed a model tissue system that allows us to dissect how myofibroblasts, cardiomyocytes, and ECM interface to alter the functioning of myocardium. This talk will summarize results suggesting pathways by which myofibroblasts alter the contractile response of myocardium, and some initial thoughts on treatments to improve this response by regulating cytoskeletal elements of myofibroblasts.
Professor Genin was a post-doctoral researcher at Cambridge University and Brown University before he joined Washington University in St. Louis in 1999.
Professor Genin's research interests include cellular, mineral, and tissue mechanics at the tendon-to-bone interface, or "insertion." He also studies the mechanical response of the brain to skull acceleration, and aspects of cellular membrane mechanics relevant to HIV replication.

TechWiseTV and Application Velocity
Welcome to the shownotes for TechWiseTV 78: Borderless Networks: Optimizing Application Velocity. Have you seen the show yet? It is live starting 10 AM PST November 11. All the talk about 'cloud' and 'virtual this and that…' from your servers to your desktops…its the renaissance we have all been told about before it seems. What is the most important 'make or break' reality ALL of us have to live with? Three Areas: (1) User Experience, (2) Resource Utilization, (3) Application Reliability.
Here is a cheesy preview:
Getting specific, there are FOUR Places where this is most pronounced –
1. OPTIMIZATION– where is it these days?
– Routing decisions are being made on outdated tables that don't reflect 'up to the second' health information needed by YOUR applications.
– Shortest path may be a broken path
2. VISIBILITY – Application visibility is either non-existent or requires an external appliance so as to minimize impact to network performance. Lack of visibility and its highly correlated sibling…
3. CONTROL, may let the wrong applications go through while degrading the most important applications.
4. ACCELERATION – the need for application acceleration and WAN optimization is key to performance success – but its not getting applied either at all or correctly without these factors above being taken into account.
"Application Velocity" is our focus.
With AppVelocity, the realtime optimal path is selected based on a unique technology called PfR that tests what is the fastest path.
In addition, scalable application visibility and control is embedded in the network routers with enhancements to NBAR that enable recognition and classification of hundreds of applications and their prioritization.
Further monitoring and control can be applied by technologies such as flexible netflow and advanced QoS and finally the embedded WAN optimization with WAAS express yields significant bandwidth savings. Then if customers want to scale application acceleration they have the choice to either use integrated app acceleration with WAAS SRE or as a standalone appliance.
All together this yields a superior user experience with up to 99% improved response time and a 90% cost saving in bandwidth.
Five Meaty Segments:
1. Flexible NetFlow
3. WAAS Express
SEGMENT 1 – Application Velocity

Jimmy Ray with Per Hagen
The brand new ASA 5585 delivers what security admins have been begging for; more connections! How much more? How about up to 350K connections per second screaming across a 60GB backplane with 20GBps multiprotocol thoughput in a 2U form factor! All of that only using very green 320 Watts on the firewall module. But wait! There is more – we also added crypto chip load balancing to balance tunnels and much more.
- – 2 slot chassis
- – 4 different SSP options
- o SSP-60 – 35 Gbps, 350,000 connections per second
- – VPN = 10,000 users, IPSEC or SSL VPN with 5 Ggbps
- 2 RU = less space, heat and cooling requirements = Green
From Jamey Heary's Network World Blog on the new ASA:
The potential of this platform is that it works very similarly to a catalyst 6500. To increase performance you just swap out your supervisor module (in this case your SSP) and put in the new shiny faster one. Given the massive backplane of this thing you'll be able to scale it for quite a while by just putting in new SSP modules as Cisco releases them. Another bonus is that the ASA 5585X is a 64bit architecture. Today the ASA code is just 32bit but when Cisco converts it to 64bit I'd expect you to see a free performance boost above the numbers that Cisco released today. If you have any other questions on the ASA 5585X just post them below.

SEGMENT 6: WAAS Express
Jimmy Ray with Anurag Gurtu
We have extended the already awesome Cisco WAAS product line by adding Cisco WAAS Express. This is an IOS based software solution that is integrated into the ISR G2 to optimize bandwidth and accelerate application capabilities on your network. WAAS Express interoperates with your current WAAS infrastructure and can be easily managed from the WAAS Central Manager. This transparent solution actually leverages the capabilities of the powerful ISR G2 routers to even integrate tightly with security, QoS and tons of other native IOS services.
As a reminder…this was our 2nd of 2 shows covering the Borderless Launch….Dan Gill did a nice write up on his blog following the corporate version of the launch. Be sure and check out TechWiseTV 77 "The New Technologies" for the rest of our deep dive, part 1 if you will.

I have three questions: 1. What country has the highest high speed Internet service available to businesses at the lowest cost? 2. What countries have the most advanced systems and policies for delivering high speed Internet to all of its businesses and population? 3. Where can I find information on best practices for accelerating market penetration for very high speed bandwidth services? 4. Does anyone know if there is a study that has been conducted correlating high speed Internet access with a) business growth, 2) increases in average GDP, 3) consistently high levels of academic test scores, 4) unemployment vs employment rates? Thanks Adamina

And about the 4K stipend - I was kinda annoyed that they called it a stipend when really it's more like a Work study type thing. Though the research opportunities sound interesting.
Hey I got the same letter. I emailed the dean about it and she called me right back, saying that the money was reserved for those who were sure to enroll in W&M, for whom W&M was the first choice, etc, and that all it required was a statement of interest explaining why W&M is your first choice. She kinda scared me off even though she didn't mention that it was binding, though to be honest I was so shocked that she had called me only minutes after I sent the email, that the conversation wasn't really productive and I didn't ask any questions.

Don't try this with Duplos
I've never been a fan of preschool interlocking blocks. They're just boring because kids can't do much with them but stack them into a tower. But, our three and four-year-old make fun toys out of ROK Blocks all the time. Airplanes, trucks and helicopters for our son, and ponies and doll houses for our daughter. My husband loves playing with these blocks too, and it's great to see a toy that gets him engaged with the kids.
A Really Cool Toy
Have you ever seen a toy that your whole family wants to play with? I hadn't! Not until I reviewed these sets from Rokenbok. My 3 yr old, my 6 yr old twins, my 9 yr old, myself, and the hubs have ALL been having fun building! Now I don't know about you, but when I find something that can entertain our entire family, I get excited! Rokenbok consists of ROK Blocks, Classic RC machines, and Complete Action Sets. Rokenbok lets the children (and adults) build their own ideas. Or if you're out of your own ideas, visit the Hard Hat Area for some inspiration! When the building is complete that's when the play begins!
We received a set of Deluxe ROK Blocks. These are my favorite!! Why? Because I really, really suck at building. I always have. BUT, with these I am a rock star! I actually was able to build a helicopter that looked just like that one!! These blocks are awesome. I have never seen blocks like these before. They are super easy to snap together, or apart. They have all sorts of pieces I've never seen before too. These are 3 dimensional pieces, with wheels and arch blocks, hinges and axles. Tons of fun! I love how the propeller can actually spin. So there I was feeling all impressed with myself because I could follow the directions and make a helicopter..... and then I stumbled onto their Builder's Hall of Fame, oh wow! You have got to see all the cool Rokenbok creations! Read the full review.
ROK Blocks
As always Rokenbok has created another great educational toy. My 5yr old twin boys loved the ROK blocks, one decided to make a tall tower with wheels and the other a helicopter. They have a lot of fun playing with these blocks. I like the fact that they are able to play together and are using their imagination to build different things. It is a very interactive activity and they love to share with us what they are making as they are creating. The Rok blocks are very colorful and easy to use.
Wish they had Blocks like this when I was a kid!
For anybody who grew up playing with building blocks you know sometimes they can be less than inspiring. I've got to say these are the most imaginative pre-school aged building blocks I have ever seen. My wife's a preschool teacher and we just bought multiple packages for her class and the kids LOVE them. Combined with the standard Rokenbok wheels and other advanced building pieces you can make pretty much anything you can think up.
ROK Blocks
These ROK Blocks are great! Even my 11 year old twin girls love them. It allows them to be so creative! Rokenbok allows kids to use their imagination and to build with their minds. Gotta have'em!
Family Fun!
ROK Blocks are a wonderful toy for the whole family. My two children 13 & 10 yrs. will play with these blocks for hours with the neighbor boys 4 & 2 yrs. They build large airplanes, semi trucks, helicopters, they even built a dog house for our small dog. What is so unique about ROK Blocks is that you can build in three dimensions, thus there is no limit to what the kids can build. Building with ROK Blocks allows them complete creativity when building their structures. I would highly recommend these building blocks over any others that are on the market.
Deluxe Rok Blocks
According to my children, the deluxe Rok blocks set, "rocks!" With 10 children ages 4-19, I knew the deluxe Rok blocks set was sure to please atleast a few of them. We've been playing with Rokenbok products for over a year now and they just never get old. But what I didn't expect, is that the deluxe Rok blocks set would please them all. My younger kids were able to follow the directions and make a variety of different things including an airplane, a helicopter, and a truck. When they had finished making everything in the directions, they began making their own creations. Then, while the younger ones took a break, my older kids got ahold of them and began creating their own contraptions and creations by combining them with their other Rokenbok sets. Being a large family, we can collect alot of toys. Years ago I decided the toys we keep in our home had to be durable, pleasing to a variety of ages, co-operative, and had to cater to my children's creativity and imagination. Rokenbok toys meet every single one of these needs. Thank you Rokenbok!
Great Toy from a Great Company
My seven year-old son loves all things Rokenbok. He has had the full featured Rokenbok RC products for over 2 years now. Looking to extend the fun, we got the ROK Blocks Deluxe Preschool Building Set for my 4 year-old daughter. Though these preschool blocks are perfect for her age and she loves them, I find the seven year-old plays with them more. For anyone who likes to build this is a great toy. In fact my son wants them to be a permanent fixture with his other Rokenbok toys. The common design makes it very easy to integrate these toys across the Rokenbok product lines. Rest assured parents that as your child grows into the next Rokenbok level, the toys in this product line won't become obsolete.
When I asked my son why he enjoyed playing with the blocks, he told me that he liked the fact that there are instructions explaining how to build certain things (an airplane for example). He went on to explain that if he thought about something else to build, he could use his imagination to make up his own design. The pieces are general enough that with the right imagination these blocks will keep a child entertained for quite some time. This is the way I remember building blocks when I was a kid. Now it seems the other building blocks companies spend a significant amount of time making complex designs and specialized pieces that once you finish building the first time, the toy has lost all appeal. After seeing all the finished products from our first box of ROK Blocks, I can assure you that this toy has not lost its appeal.
There is one last comment I want to make about the Rokenbok company. When I first purchased the RC toys for my son, I read quite a bit about how Rokenbok came up with their products. It was clear from the design of the "Roks," the red and blue balls, that Rokenbok has always made thinking about the safety of toddlers one of their top priorities. I believe the addition of Rok blocks demonstrates that actually one of their top priories is to keep toddler safe AND entertained.
Fun and Educational!
ROK Blocks are great toys that are well designed and educational. My two sons, age 3 and 7, play with it almost every day. Like legos, your kids will use it for years and years. Also like legos, there are an infinite number of configurations and designs that kids can make. They are durable and will last a long time. Our whole family enjoys playing with Rokenbok. The Rokenbok pre-school sets are great starter sets and are easy enough for a preschooler to assemble. Its an amazing play experience that will benefit my sons creativity and education!
An Excellent Birthday and Christmas Gift
From a mom's perspective, I think that the idea of a child being able to make many different things from the same set of blocks allows them to think "critically". Critical thinking is one characteristic that I feel is lacking in our children nowadays and it is very important that a child be able to think through situations in order to come up with the best result. This is useful with standardize testing and with everyday life situations. Read the full review.
Rok-ON - Rokenbok
Wow, need a fantastic gift for you son or daughter or for a kid who loves to build? These ROK Blocks are a "must have" for those little builders that live under your roof. When my son who's 7 received the ROK Blocks for his birthday, he was really excited because he loves Rokenbok. So when he opened the box, he couldn't help but dig in and begin assembling the blocks to make the suggested examples of things you can build with the blocks. After he was done building, he began to build other items with the blocks and didn't put them down until bed time. I can't believe he is actually learning construction principles. The size and durability of the blocks are fantastic. I can't see any young builder damaging these blocks. It makes me think how cool it would of been to have had these blocks when I was a kid. These blocks ROK.
Blocks great for all ages
Our family has several of the classic sets. We wanted to add the blocks to our collection for our younger kids. We were hoping the blocks would allow our 4 year old to free build on his own. The Deluxe ROK Blocks have been a huge hit. Our 4 year old is able to build his ideas quickly and with greater confidence. Our 7 year old likes that the blocks can be used with his other sets. Our entire family was impressed with how quickly creations came together and stayed together. Great creative toy for all ages!
Great for Everything Rokenbok and everyone
At first when I recieved this set I thought I would pass it down to my younger brother after a few uses. I was completely wrong. I love this set. I have already built a pyramid, airplane, helicopter, truck, car engine, box, a container to hold my extra pieces, and a tripod for my camera, and I still haven't even had the set for 2 days yet! This set is a must have for all Rokenbokers. I would highly reccomend it.
Great start for RokenBok!
This set may say pre-school, and it is great for little kids, but it's fun for big kids (or big kids at heart!) too! It makes a good start to see how much you like the methods of building, and, unlike lego Duplos, these sets can be used with the entire line of RokenBok construction toys.
My five year old twins love this set!!!
My five year old son can build with regular Rokenboks but he still loves this Rok Block set.
It allows him to be more creative with his vehicle building instead of just buildings. My five year old daughter loves to drive the trucks but didn't build until we got this set. Now she loves to build race cars and such. These are much easier to snap together and take apart and are age appropriate for the beginner level. This is a great set to get your little one started or just to add some color to your collection. I just built a trebuchet for a challenge on the Rokenbok forum and used these blocks for counterweights. They are very versatile and interchangable with regular Rokenboks.
Sizable fun!
My daughter and I had a blast building the Rokenbok truck together. As you might imagine, it can be hard to pull away a little girl from her "princess" toys, but the bright colors and overall size of the pieces immediately caught her attention. Furthermore, because the pieces are easy to handle, she was able to quickly link the different pieces together (with a little guidance from dad of course - she's only 3 years old). Though, without a doubt the best part was the SIZE of the finished truck - it was big enough to allow her to run along side and push it back and forth down the hallway.
I'm aware of the benefits of construction toys in children's development and have found a great way to get my daughter to love it. Thank you!
my son also loves these
my son also loves these blocks.
I am Amazed with the Variety of Things My Kids Create!
Our first exposure to the wonderful world of Rokenbok,began 5 years ago when our oldest child was three. We wandered into what became our favorite toy store, they had a Rokenbok interactive display. It was the ROK Works Construction & Action Set that puts you in control of cool little vehicles.
You can move the balls from one contraption to another, what fun! My husband and I had never seen anything like it. We both agreed we would love to have one when we were kids. We purchased our son's first set just a year later and WOW was it a hit. It helps with fine and gross motor skills, allows kids to be creative and inventive.
Since then we have purchased several ROK block sets. I am constantly amazed at what my boys can create! These are better than other interlocking blocks because they are so much more verstaile. Their imaginations have an outlet with these.
We always give Rokenbok as gifts too, we love all their products. They are also durable and have stood the test of time with 3 very busy little boys.
Best blocks on the market!
I looked at all other blocks and chose these. Why? Because the educational value is top notch and they are lots of fun. With other blocks you are either locked into a specific design, you end up building lots of walls and towers, or you cannot expand your set as your child grows. With ROK Blocks, you are only limited by your imagination. Since having these over the past month, my 3.5yr old son and I have built trucks, a fork-lift, a variety of airplanes, garage, tower and some creations that my son created by himself. It's exciting for me to see his creations and how he is starting to understand that this isn't your typical block set.
What I like:
1) As an engineer myself, I really like this set because I can teach my son a lot of different mechanical concepts and as he grows the set can grow into more complex systems.
2) Develops creativity - only limited by your imagination.
3) Develops fine motor skills. The pieces come in different shapes and sizes - including pieces that rotate or swivel - requires my son to learn how to assemble them together.
4) The models are sturdy - don't fall apart easily when playing with them.
What I would like to see improved:
1) Some of the smaller pieces are difficult to assemble - even for me. Perhaps it's only my set or over time and some wear, some of these pieces will be easier to snap into place.
2) I would like to have seen a pulley in the set and a few more of the large red angled blocks to make a giant wheel. The set does come with smaller wheels but to make a giant wheel you need 6 more red angled blocks in the set (I just purchased another deluxe set to expand the possibilities).
Overall, I am very pleased with the educational value and enjoyment my son gets from these blocks. I highly recommend them.
ROK Blocks
My Grandson loves this blocks He was so excited when it came in the mail. What is so unique is the different sizes and he is autistic and spend much time sorting them and he does a wonderful job. We have 50 of each color and to him, that is not enough. They are well made and he noticed the difference in the sizes right away. They are so easy to clean up also. I thought they would be larger than they are when looking on the computer, but they are a great size.
Bonus: This ROK Blocks set comes with The ROK Blocks Big Idea Book. This action-packed book includes the step-by-step instructions to build both the Triceratops and the T-Rex, plus over 20 detailed plans for more ROK Blocks creations* (additional parts required). The Big Idea Book is filled with tips for parents on how to promote learning, creativity, and school readiness skills.

CHARLOTTESVILLE — Top regional seed and host Virginia got just enough out of its offense to combine with a strong starting performance from freshman hurler Brandon Waddell, as the Cavaliers held off No. 4 seed Army 2-1 in Friday's opening game of the NCAA Charlottesville Regional.
Waddell struck out eight Army batters in seven innings of work, and U.Va. got nine hits, including three plus an RBI from freshman Joe McCarthy, despite leaving 11 runners on base.
Reliever Kyle Crockett, a Poquoson High grad, came on to pick up his 11th save of 2013, striking out the side in the ninth to close out the contest.
The Cavaliers improved to 48-10 overall, and will move on to the winners bracket to face Elon at 6 p.m. Saturday.
"What a great college baseball game to open up the regional," said Virginia coach Brian O'Connor. "Obviously, it was a real pitchers' duel. ... It was a great game. It was very well played defensively. We certainly had numerous opportunities to break the game open a little bit, but just couldn't get that big hit. I'm just so proud of our guys. We played like we have all year and found a way to win the game."
The Black Knights (29-22), appearing in the Charlottesville Regional for a second straight season, will try to stay alive in Saturday's first elimination game against UNCW at 1 p.m.
Waddell (6-2), the Cavaliers' opening-day Feb. 15, got the nod Friday and cruised through all but two innings (Army went three-up, three-down in five of his seven frames), but got himself out of his only two jams while giving up just one run. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound southpaw from Houston allowed just three hits and walked none.
"It feels the same," Waddell said of the pressure entering his first postseason contest, while giving the credit to his catcher, Nate Irving, who went 2-for-3 with a run scored. "Looking back at all the experiences I have had throughout the year, it is still the same game, the game I have played my whole life. You have to go out there and know what your job is. It is to make pitches and keep your team in the game. You have to go back to that mindset and control what you can control."
Army threatened in the top half of the second as the first two batters reached on a single and hit-batsman, and then each moved into scoring position on a Jacob Page sacrifice bunt. Waddell went on to strike out the next man up, Andrew Johnson, and then forced a groundout to short to get out unharmed.
The Black Knights got on the board first in the fifth as Page led off with a single off Waddell's glove and into center field. Two batters later, Grant Van Orden's sacrifice squeeze scored a hustling Page to make it 1-0, but that's all the visitors would get after Waddell fanned left fielder Jon Crucitti for the third out and a runner stranded at second.
It didn't take long for the Cavs to answer, as sophomore third baseman Kenny Towns — who made two solid defensive plays to start both the third and fourth innings — got things started with a stand-up, lead-off double that rolled to the warning track in left center. Irving followed with what O'Connor referred to as the hit of the game, a single to center that moved Towns to third.
Back at the top of the order, left fielder Mike Papi drove in his 55th RBI of the season — and first career NCAA tournament hit — to tie the game on the next at-bat, and then senior first baseman Jared King walked to load the bases with still nobody out.
McCarthy, the ACC freshman of the year, then brought home the go-ahead and eventual game-winning run with a single that dropped in front of Army right fielder Michael Sands before the Knights finally got out of the inning on a pair of big strikeouts by starter Chris Rowley and then a huge catch by Page in center field on the run that may have blown the game open.
"[Rowley] probably didn't think he pitched up to his capability in this game last year, and he certainly did today," O'Connor said in reference to U.Va.'s 9-1 victory to open the 2012 Charlottesville Regional against Army. "Fortunately, Brandon Waddell was just as good or better than Rowley today."
McCarthy, who was 3-for-3 and reached base safely in all four plate appearances (walked in the third) and owned the nation's third-best on-base percentage by a freshman (.455) coming into the game.
"Joe McCarthy is one of the toughest, competitive players we have had here in 10 years," O'Connor said. "He is an animal. He shows up every day ready to play and competes. But he has a real maturity about himself in the batter's box. He doesn't let negative things affect him; he just gets ready for the next pitch."

Um, ok. If you think no one in Orthodoxy is talking about depression, despair, etc., you aren't looking hard enough
Sinjin, those are excellent suggestion. Monachos is a great site, and they won our March site of the month award, but the webmaster never accepted the prize. As a past winner, Monachos is disqualified from being nominated for a year. The others will all be added to the voting poll when it comes out tomorrow. Any other suggestions? I want to have the poll up tomorrow so that we can have the clear winner declared by the end of the month.

Yes, still living it full and not slowing down! Keep promising myself an evening of chilling, and may be some re-organizing of some furniture (used to love this), but still haven't gotten a chance.
As promised, took (almost!) a full week off training after a 100k! Easy Bootcamp (truly couldn't jump anyway), easy 2-3 mile runs all the way into Thursday, when managed 6 miles on trails at slow pace, and by Saturday was at Hill Of Life, Austin's spot for hill repeats, making 10 trips up and down.
Had a camera with me too, so took some good number of shots while warmed up, and then as I was propelling and meeting some folks and interacting with hikers and in general having a grand time.
Then there was an evening at a friend's Cris house for some Mexican food and drinks!
On Sunday, we had our awesome friends and freakishly-great ultrarunners (and a guru-nutritionist!) Meredith and Paul Terranova over, talking some smack on training, eating, and health-related personal business promotions. Meredith was/is super-helpful and that got Larry and I fire up some more! Larry is now working on the website that will combine many things in a more professional way and allow me to keep moving into that direction. Super-exciting! Which, in turn, pushed me to organize more files and ways to handle my running coaching, and somehow simultaneously, I also ended up with a new stream of folks approaching me for training - like, there was a sense in the air, or something?
All photos of food and party! Scroll a little down below the "knitted hand".
The only nagging thing that's been not so great is the right knee. The pain gets aggravated by downhills, but is there even at rest, and it bugs me enough to have visited an ART specialist last week and have a Graston and another ART this week scheduled. I can't afford to be hurt right now!!!
But we all know I'll be ok:) somehow, regardless.
|A Friday's run from work that despite being short was very inspiring.
p.s. Ain't I looking pretty? But, no big harm (yet), so, we'll make it through, right? Right! And Dr. Chris Sellers is Da Bomb! I totally waited for his show up after appendectomy, and it was worth it. Performance Wellness

The Georgia Southwestern Lady 'Canes have gone from trying to make history to determining how much history they will make as they continue to improve on their program-best start to the 2011-12 season. The Lady 'Canes improved their record to 6-0 to start the 2011-12 season by defeating the Lady Rams of Albany State University by a score of 78-69. It was the first game of a back-to-back at Peach Belt/SIAC Challenge on the campus of Columbus State University.
Forward Adrian Randall recorded her third double-double of the young season with her 23 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks against Albany State. It was her third game of the season with four blocks as well for the Brooklyn native. She was supported by fellow 20-point scorer Terra Branch. Branch went for 21 points, four rebounds and two assists.
While GSW struggled shooting (39.2% from the field) (20% from beyond the arc) they were solid at the free throw line converting 19 of their 25 attempts (76.0%). Defensively the Hurricanes hounded the Rams forcing 21 turnovers, which included 8 GSW steals and 6 GSW blocks as they grounded the Albany State aerial attack to 31.6% shooting on the night.
Coach Britsky and company led 41-32 at halftime thanks to junior Adrian Randall's second first-half double-double of 13 points and ten rebounds on an efficient six of nine shooting from the field. She was supported by senior Terra Branch who had 12 points in the half.
As a team, GSW won the rebounding battle (27-22) in the first half and forced Albany State into 13 turnovers and 40.8% shooting for the half.
Albany State's 69 total points was due in large part to their three players scoring in double digits. Symone Wilkerson and April Thomas finished the evening with 18 points each with Wilkerson also recording nine rebounds and six assists. Breanna Fields and her 14 points was the third of ASU's trio of double-digit scorers.
GSW will look to make it to 7-0 against the Fort Valley State Lady Wildcats tomorrow at 3 p.m.

The Alabama Supreme Court recently considered a suit in which a fire at an apartment building, caused by arson, resulted in the death of one resident, and injuries to six others. The residents sued the owner and builder of the complex, which had been constructed 22 years before the fire, alleging claims of negligence and wantonness.
The trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the owner and builder, holding that they had no duty to protect the residents from injuries caused by the criminal acts of a third party, and that the residents' claims were barred by the 20-year rule of repose.
The Court, in Collins v Scenic Homes, Inc. __ S0.2d __ (Ala. June 30, 2009), reversed the entry of summary judgment. Recognizing that in general, "absent special relationships or circumstances, a person has no duty to protect another from criminal acts of a third person," Moye v. AG Gaston Motels, Inc., 499 So.2d 368 (Ala. 1986), the Court held that the general rule was inapplicable because the residents alleged that the defendants had a duty to construct and operate:
… a reasonably safe apartment building, equipped with appropriate exits and fire suppression safeguards designed to reduce the risk of injury as a result of fire, regardless of the origin of the fire. … Indeed, it is a forseeable risk that a fire at an apartment complex, however started, will cause harm to the inhabitants of the complex if the premises owner fails to provide adequate fire suppression safeguards and an adequate means of escape from the fire.
The Court distinguished the residents' claims from previous cases decided under the general rule because in each of the previous cases, the plaintiff "alleged that the premises owner had a duty to prevent the intervening criminal act from occurring."
The Court also held that the plaintiffs claims were not barred by the 20-year rule of repose, atating that a cause of action accrues "on the date the first legal injury occurs, but not necessarily from the date of the act causing the injury." Smith v. Medtronic, Inc., 607 So.2d 156 (Ala. 1992). In Collins, "the residents did not have a viable and cognizable claim against Scenic Homes until the fire occurred and the residents suffered injuries as a result."

Cher Wang (王雪紅), chairwoman of smartphone maker HTC Corp (宏達電), said yesterday the company had no plans to settle patent lawsuits with Apple Inc, local media reported.
Wang made the remark after Apple claimed a victory in a patent suit against Samsung Electronics Co on Friday last week in the US. A California-based jury awarded Apple US$1.05 billion in damages after ruling that Samsung had infringed on six of the seven patents contested by Apple.
"Samsung's defeat does not mean that Google Inc's Android camp is defeated," the Chinese-language online news outlet Cnyes.com quoted Wang as saying yesterday.
Samsung is the world's largest maker of smartphones running Google Inc's Android system. Other companies that also use the Android platform in their smartphones include HTC, South Korea's LG Electronics Inc, as well as China's Lenovo Group Ltd (聯想), ZTE Corp (中興) and Huawei Technologies (華為).
Wang was talking on the sidelines of a press conference for an upcoming APEC Business Advisory Council meeting. She is one one of Taiwan's three representatives on the council.
HTC and Apple have sued each other in several cases at the US International Trade Commission. The Taiwanese company is expected to hear an initial ruling by the commission on Nov. 7 on its second lawsuit against Apple.

KEENE, N.H. – MIT started the men's cross country season in fine style at the Keene State Alumni Invitational where the Engineers won the team competition over 11 other teams. Junior Roy Wedge (Lawrence, Kan.) won the individual title to lead the Engineers to the team win.
Wedge edged out teammate sophomore Benjamin Xie (El Dorado Hills, Calif.) for the win on the 5K course, finishing in 15:46, three seconds ahead of Xie. After taking the first two spots, MIT went on to wrap up the team win with Engineers taking places seven through 10. Freshman Ian Tolan (Binghamton, N.Y.) was the first of the four MIT runners in the group, striding across the line with an effort of 16:16. Crossing the line in eighth was senior Logan Trimble (Clearwater, Fla.) in a time of 16:17. Two seconds back was freshman Edgar Gridello (Douvainer, France), with sophomore Matthew Jordan (Matthews, N.C.) taking 10th with his effort of 16:22.
