A high school student trying to get in shape for military boot camp inadvertently triggered a massive emergency response Friday at Parkland High School, law enforcement and school officials said.
The student's behavior appeared suspicious to a Parkland teacher, who saw him sweating, in a flak jacket, making a salute and saying a prayer at the flag pole about 4:45 p.m. before he ran off, officials said. She called the Lehigh County Communications Center to report it.
But the student's behavior turned out to be innocent, said Lehigh County District Attorney James Martin at a 10 p.m. press conference held with South Whitehall officials and the Parkland School District superintendent.
Officers had responded to the school after the call came in, and officials determined the teacher's description warranted that the emergency team be activated, Martin said.
In early evening, law enforcement began a sweep of the high school, looking for an intruder -- an effort that included law enforcement agencies from throughout Lehigh County, including Allentown and Salisbury police departments. The dozens of police and emergency crews staged in the school's lower parking lot. The response included a K-9 unit and a state police helicopter.
Given the size of the high school, South Whitehall police Lt. John Christman said, law enforcement personnel were only about one-fifth of the way through the building, even using a robot, in their attempt to find the intruder when the effort was called off.
Martin said a county detective had been at the high school picking up his daughter around 4:30 p.m., and told authorities, "You know, I saw a guy dressed similarly" to the person they were looking for. Through subsequent phone calls, Martin said, police were able to locate and identify the student, and talked to him by phone.
Based on the information the student provided, including how he had been dressed, Martin said law enforcement could say with a "complete degree of confidence" that there was no intruder at Parkland High School Friday and that the suspicious person spotted was the student who was exercising.
"This was quite an event that had a lot of people on their toes," Parkland School Superintendent Richard Sniscak said.
Sniscak thanked the emergency responders. He said the first thoughts were for the health and welfare of the district's students.
Martin praised the district's handling of logistics. He said the costs of the emergency response will be absorbed by the various departments that responded. He did not put a figure on cost.
When the emergency was first activated, students were evacuated and was locked down for about four hours. Students were on the football field, a volleyball game was going on (and cancelled), and swimmers were in the pool. Students were bused to the district's Troxell building, where they could be picked up by family.
Police diverted traffic on Cedar Crest Boulevard and closed access to the school complex during the search.
Parkland School District practiced for such an event last month with an "active shooter" drill simulating the .
Parkland High School is a sprawling building in South Whitehall off Cedar Crest Boulevard. It has 3,200 students. The 10 p.m. press conference was held more than a mile away, in a parking lot at 1600 Cedar Crest Blvd.

"What I hope the reader will take away from this collection is the deeply held belief that the issue of healing permeates our relationship with God at almost every level. The body that God has given us is more than an empty shell that holds our spirit. The body is instead an integral part of the relationship we have with the Creator. When it is broken or diseased, the spirit suffers. When the spirit is bruised, the body is disturbed. Healing is a daily process that teaches us to be more fully in communion with God. Healing must not be relegated to the physicians and the healthcare system. Instead, the faith community is expected to make healing a central issue in all matters of hope, love, and compassion. The common thread through each sermon is this very notion. Healing is a process, which seeks to make us whole, and our relationship with God is, in part, dependent on healing continually taking place."

Cherokee County prosecutors dismissed a misdemeanor assault and battery charged Wednesday against an Oklahoma State University defensive tackle.
Court documents show the state sought the dismissal of the charges against Christian Littlehead, a 6-2, 312-pound sophomore defensive lineman. Littlehead played in 12 games for OSU in the 2011 season. He recorded four starts.
Littlehead was accused of punching a woman in the face after a dispute at a birthday party in March.
Littlehead has been practicing with the team, and participated in Saturday's scrimmage.
Oklahoma State University football coach Mike Gundy said Saturday night that he was gathering information about the March birthday party incident, but wouldn't make a decision about Littlehead's status with the team until he had the facts.
"I've always followed the policy that guys are relatively innocent until proven guilty," Gundy said. "And that's the only way we can do things. Oklahoma State people have to trust that once I get all the information, I'm going to do what's best for this school. But I can't always just assume somebody is guilty until I gather all the information."
Gundy was unavailable for comment on Wednesday.
Littlehead didn't play in the Jan. 1 Fiesta Bowl because he was suspended from team after being charged with a misdemeanor for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Littlehead pleaded guilty to that charge. He was fined $150, ordered to complete a drug and alcohol evaluation and to perform 15 hours of community service.

The center channel puts you center-stage
Hear every breath and sigh the actors give in your favorite movie's dialogue. Feel like your favorite band's lead singer is putting on a concert just for you. Be moved by each swell in a movie's soundtrack. Duck for cover beneath an action flick's audio special effects. If any of these experiences catches your attention, your home theater system is in need of a powerful, nuanced center-channel speaker. Your system needs the OS3-CC from Mirage. While front- and rear-channel speakers deliver surround sound effects, and the subwoofer offers deep bass frequencies that you both hear and feel, center-channel speakers bring you movie dialogue and special effects, as well as vocals and lead audio from all your favorite albums. The three-way OS3-CC, with 0.75" tweeter, 3" midrange driver, and two 4.5" woofers, completes your listening and viewing experience with full, arresting, detailed audio reproduction that fills your listening area thanks to Mirage's patented Omnipolar technology. Keep reading to learn more about this innovative technology.
Presenting: Omnipolar technology
Mirage's superior loudspeaker technology can be voiced in a single word — Omnipolar. Research shows that in live musical environments, about 30% of what we hear is direct sound while 70% is reflected sound from walls, ceilings, and floors that reaches our ears a few milliseconds after the direct sound. The brain uses direct sound for identification and to establish location, but uses the reflected sound to determine musicality and spaciousness, as well as direction. Conventional direct-radiating speakers with front-mounted drivers produce the opposite ratio of direct to reflected sound, or 70% direct to 30% reflected.
Two placement options
Installing any new piece of audio equipment ought to be easy. And the folks at Mirage agree. The OS3-CC center-channel speaker offers you two simple mounting options. First, you can use the included wall-mount bracket to install the OS3-CC on the wall directly below your wall-mounted HDTV. Or, second, with the included detachable table-stand support, you can place the OS3-CC on an entertainment center or credenza below your TV. Further, thanks to magnetic shielding of the drivers, you can place the OS3-CC near other A/V components without any risk of damage or interference.
A quick note: A Stock status
While B Stock products are those that Vann's has received from a third party, often at low liquidation prices, and may have minor damage to their packaging, A Stock products like this Mirage speaker product are brand new, in-the-box speakers that have been received directly from the manufacturer and carry a full manufacturer warranty.

Rick Ferri, Contributor
I cover low-cost index fund and ETF investing.
There are only two ways to beat the stock market in the long-term, net of expenses: one, trade on superior information; two, be lucky. I tend to believe that getting lucky has a much higher probability of working than finding superior information.
Finding superior information is very difficult. It either requires access that other people don't have, or the ability to analyze public data better than the vast majority of investors. It's widely known that most mutual fund managers underperform the market, even with the deep and talented pool of analysts they have access too. Once in a while they'll get it right, but it's not often enough to make up their cost.
Princeton professor and Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman helps explain why people think they'll guess right more often than wrong in his new book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. The human brain is incapable of creating new information − it doesn't know what it doesn't know. To compensate for the unknown, our brains attempt to piece together the best possible story based on what we do know. Sometimes this story is accurate and sometimes not. When we're right, we think it's because we're smart, and when we're wrong, we think it's because we didn't have enough information and there was nothing we could do about it.
Author and money manager Larry Swedroe summarizes why we have a strong desire to believe we're right all the time in his recent Journal of Indexes article, On Magical Thinking and Investing. He cites excellent behavioral finance sources to explain why investors keep trying to out-guess the markets when the deck is so clearly stacked against them. Swedroe labels the need or desire to be an above-average investor as the "Lake Wobegon effect," named for the popular radio series set in the mythical town of Lake Wobegon, where all the men are strong, the women are good-looking and the children are above-average.
My argument isn't to make the claim that the market cannot be beaten with analysis. I would never say that. It's easy to find mutual fund managers who have beaten the market in the past. It's much harder to determine if a particular manager was lucky or skillful at doing it.
Eugene F. Fama and Kenneth R. French looked into this issue in their working paper titled, Luck versus Skill in the Cross Section of Mutual Fund Returns. Their study focused on U.S. equity mutual fund managers from 1984 to 2006. It's no surprise that they found that in aggregate, actively-managed U.S. equity mutual funds performed close to the market before costs and below the market after costs. The big question they were trying answer was did the winning managers have skill or were they just lucky?
To answer this question, Fama and French compared the distribution of fund returns to a distribution of simulated portfolio returns formed with randomly selected stocks. Using a bootstrapping technique, they created thousands of simulated U.S. equity portfolios that selected stocks randomly. The range of actual mutual fund returns was then compared to the range of bootstrapped returns. The overlay was very close, which means most actual fund returns were a result of random stock selection and not skill.
There were, however, a handful of funds whose managers outperformed the bootstrapping method after adjusting for costs and risks. These so-called outliers may possess skill, if only they could be identified. Unfortunately, knowing that a manager had skill ex post doesn't help investors much, because we need to place our bets ex ante, and it's not possible to determine which managers will possess skill in the future. We only know that some will.
What if we forget about mutual funds and choose a few good stocks ourselves? We often hear that individual investors have an advantage over large institutional investors because we're able to act more quickly than the institutions and buy stocks that are too small for them to bother with. Do these apparent advantages increase the odds that we can beat the market with a well-crafted portfolio of individual stocks?
Years ago, I enjoyed following the Wall Street Journal's "Dartboard" contest. This challenge was inspired by Burton Malkiel's book, A Random Walk Down Wall Street. The Princeton Professor wrote in his book that "a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper's financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts."
Here is how the contest worked. The journal's editors would periodically ask four leading Wall Street investment analysts to submit their single best stock pick. These four picks were matched to four stocks randomly selected by throwing darts at the stock pages of the paper. The eight picks were then printed in the Dartboard column for all to see. Six months later the results were printed.
Investors fail to make money consistently but there are traders who do, year over year. Accounts under $1MM are easier to trade since you can be in and out of positions quickly. Also, the best traders out there are not Ivy League grads, so I don't know why large investors look for Ivy League degrees. Trading is an art, not a science. If I make less than 100% return per year, I consider myself an under-performer. I'd never work for anybody else, though.
Whether skill or luck, active fund managers hardly give investors/clients enough information with enough frequency to make an ongoing decision about continuing to invest. At least Bill Gross provides monthly commentary on Total Return and is very open about his views of the bond market (right or wrong). Active management, and even active management using index funds, is still clouded by opaque managers.
Great article. I use that Isaac Newton quote quite a bit as well. I would add beating the market becomes a much easier proposition through the judicious use of options. In fact, I have written a program that bases itself on a one year time frame. It runs regression analysis on given funds or stocks and calculates the return of those stocks & funds in an average year. It also calculates the value of purchased SPY calls, along with fixed income and cash. Then, the program employs an algorithmic solver to determine what dollar amount to allocate to each investment in order to achieve the desired annual interest rate.
Though the claim of system to beat the market is anathema to almost all market commentators and academics, I believe it can be done. No one has yet believed this claim, though to be fair, no one has looked at any data either. In my experience, it is easier for people to write claims off rather than challenge their previously held belief system. It is working for me :)
This article mentioned 'risk-adjusted returns' quite a fair bit. I have a contention with the use of the word 'risk' here because from what I understand, the academic conotation of the word 'risk' when applied to finance is essentially volatility, or beta.
I personally feel that beta is just volatility, and nothing else. It does not measure risk – real investment risk rears its head when the business does not perform as expected over an extended period of time. The kind of risk I am talking about, would not be quantifiable practically, at least with our current scientific understanding of the world.
There is alot to improve in the world of finance. Top of my list would be banishing the notion of volatility or beta, as a measure of risk. Beta measures volatility, and nothing else.
Ser Jing
One thing that I have never seen addressed is that money managers have less flexibility than individual investors. For example, an individual can leave his money in an index fund indefinitely and then pull it out if a particularly promising stock comes to his attention. Money managers can not realistically do that.
Does this added flexibility give some sort of advantage to individual investors?
I've always asset allocated then indexed the majority of my portfolio, but my resolve is weakening. The Fed is being so aggressive manipulating the bond market that I worry that the market is no longer efficient. I suppose that efficient or not I still don't know more than anyone else, but it's harder to believe in indexing in a market that could be rigged.
Great article. thanks for sharing! One of our analysts recently came out with an article on how you can beat the market with top pharma stock. Have a look and let us know your thoughts!

Thread: Did they go too far?
Did they go too far?"From our preliminary investigation, it appears we may not have handled this matter in the best possible way. We are taking this situation seriously, and giving it our full attention," Safeway said in a statement on Saturday.
Store security did their job. The police arrested them. I overheard a customer tell her kids once, "You cannot eat what we have not paid for." The moment you conceal a product you have not paid for, you are stealing.
We have had incidents where parents were separated from children. Usually someone can come pick them up.

Yes -- she consumed merchandise and never paid for it. Based on the totality of the circumstances in the article, I'm not sure that prosecution was the wisest choice. The "I forgot argument" is, given ONLY the information in the article, credible. Obviously, had she thrown the wrappers away or otherwise tried to conceal the fact that she ate the sandwiches, that would change things.
But... she was 30 weeks pregnant. With other another kid present. And her husband. And she paid for quite a bit more, and in one account I saw briefly last night, they offered to pay. OK, take the hard line. Charge one, not both. Or get the info, and prosecute in, say, 3 months. I'm kind of curious about the custodial arrest; I have the authority generally to release on a summons for shoplifting, and custodial arrest for such an offense is rare. Especially with complications like pregnancy and kids present...
Safeway needs to look at what happened. I'm not absolutely saying that nobody should have been arrested -- but I kind of agree with their statement: It may not have been the best way to handle the situation.Voting against incumbents until we get a Congress that does its job.

Here we at least have the option of issuing a misdeameanor summons,just like a traffic ticket,and will release them,but they still have to go to court.I do feel it was overkill,the store could have demanded they pay,than "request" they not return,or any one of other available options.]
Our bigger merchandisers usually will not prosecute over something this small. It is not worth their personnel's time in court. We might be asked to trespass them.

My wife has eaten food or had drinks while shopping. She has several kids in tow and it's a long trip to get everything we need and the kids are hungry, thirsty, and cranky. She always saves the wrappers with food in the cart. The empty wrappers are put with all the other food. The cashiers ring it up like everything else. No big deal. You can't do that with food that has to be weighed though so she doesn't let the kids eat grapes or apples.
I'm curious how this couple "forgot" to pay? Did they throw away the packaging or conceal it? What I described above is obviously routine because the cashiers always know what to do and aren't surprised. In the news story it sounds like security waited for the couple to pay to see if they paid for the food they consumed, which is reasonable in my book.
I wonder if the couple had previous theft convictions that bumped up the $5 to a felony and resulted in mandatory arrest? Waiting for CPS to come get the kids is a huge pain in the ass and I'm sure the cops would have avoided it if at all possible.
At my last job there was a woman in town who was shopping at the store and had her recyclable shopping bags. She was placing items in the shopping bags and was stopped by security for "concealing" merchandise. The cops are in a bad spot because technically she was violating the law but nobody believed she was attempting to steal (they were shopping bags, duh). http://www.roanoke.com/columnists/kennedy/wb/15671Pleasing nobody, one person at a time.

VA Code 18.2-103, Concealment, requires intent:
Whoever, without authority, with the intention of converting goods or merchandise to his own or another's use without having paid the full purchase price thereof, or of defrauding the owner of the value of the goods or merchandise...
Using a shopping bag, or whatever, to simply carry stuff within the store is not illegal.
Lots of people shop, open and eat a few cookies or whatever, while shopping. If they pay, no big deal -- but it's not something I personally do.
As I said -- based solely on the article, there were options. But I don't know beyond what's listed, so the cops may not have had much choice.Voting against incumbents until we get a Congress that does its job.

We've got a similar provision in our theft statute, but I wouldn't even think of charging under those circumstances. The security guards may not be happy with me, but that's okay.

The fact that they did not CTA them and took the child away for a theft III is ridiculous. This is not a mandatory arrest therefore discretion should have been used here.

Wondering what new businesses are opening and changing in your town? Our biweekly "Sprouts & Shutters" column highlights restaurant, retail and other business news in Pleasant Hill -- and Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Walnut Creek, and Concord.
This Saturday is Pleasant Hill's last Farmers Market of the season. Pick up your crisp fall apples, homemade jams, local honey, winter squash and more this Saturday from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Crescent Drive at Monument Plaza. Farmers Market resumes in the spring.
Opening Update: Zachary's Pizza, previewed in an August Sprouts, has pushed back its opening date a bit. Originally expected to open in November, the new pizza restaurant is now scheduled to open in mid January. The opening coincides with Zachary's celebration of its 30th anniversary, which it will celebrate throughout 2013.
Mark your calendars and get out your folding chairs: Walnut Creek's new Freebirds World Burrito opens Dec. 18 and it's giving away free burritos for a year to the first 25 people in line. Freebirds runs 85 locations nationwide, specializing in customizable burritos and bowls made with "freshly prepared ingredients including hormone-free, grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, hand-cut peppers and veggies plus homemade salsas and guac." (Sounds a bit like Chipotle, doesn't it?) Freebirds will open on Geary Road near the new Sprouts Farmers Market and new Habit Burger.
Walnut Creek's Redux Lounge's nightclub hopes to lure not just dancers but also diners with its new restaurant. The new Redux Bistro & Lounge, which opened Oct. 30, serves "Japanese-French inspired plates" (such as "Smokin Crawfish," pan-roasted organic chicken and tempura banana ice cream) for dinner and custom housemade pizzas and small plates for lunch and lounge hours. It now also runs "happy hour" all day, every day. Redux Bistro shares space with the nightclub on Locust Street next across from Pyramid. See the full menus atreduxlounge.com.
Opening Update: Chick-Fil-A opened Nov. 8 on North Main Street amidst a small gathering of protesters and patrons. Read more about the opening and protests in earlier Patch coverage.
Lafayette shoppers will soon have a women's clothing boutique right next door to the new men's clothing boutique, Venture. Francesca's Collections, which sells an eclectic array of apparel, jewelry, handbags, accessories and gifts, is expected to open in February at the Clocktower on Mt. Diablo Boulevard. Can't wait? You can shop now at the recently opened Francesca's Collections in Danville's Blackhawk Plaza and Pleasanton's Stoneridge Shopping Center. Learn more about the new women's fashion boutique at francescas.com.
Kaur Photography and The Club Lafayette opened in a shared space on Golden Gate Way. Read about the new businesses in an earlier Patch story.
Did you miss Patch's article about proposed changes to Lafayette Safeway's crowded parking lot? Catch up in recent Patch coverage.
Opening Update: Yan's Restaurant, previewed in an October column, is now open in Orinda in the former Hsiangs space on Orinda Way.
FHL Styles opened Oct. 26 in Concord's Sun Valley shopping center. The Los Angeles based regional chain specializes in inexpensive trendy clothing and accessories for young women.
Concord's longtime family-owned Wentling Studios closed its downtown photography studio last month. But Dirk and Nancy Wentling say that although the storefront may have closed, their business has not. Wentling Studio is now home-based and still serving clients. Learn more at wentlingstudio.com.
Opening Update: La Sen Bistro, previewed in the last column, is now open in Todos Santos on Salvio Street. (A printable PDF coupon for a 15 percent discount accompanies this column.)
Want to find out what else is opening in the East Bay? Sprouts & Shutters now covers 21 cities on 18 Patch sites. Read the latest columns for the Tri-Valley, Berkeley/Oakland and Milpitas/Tri-City communities.

- Brandy Melville and Habit Burger Grill in Walnut Creek
- Kmart and Pizza My Way Pleasant Hill

That was the national championship game.
I disagree. I think ND and Bama are very similar and match up well. I think it could be a very close game. Georgia actually scared me some because of the vertical game that I think is what ND has the hardest time with. It will be interesting to see how the long layoff affects each team. I think it will help Bama more than ND, especially with getting healthy. As much as I want ND to win, I think it will be a tough defensive battle that Bama edges out 17-10 or 17-13. For Irish fans, I think the game will feel a lot like the Stanford game, except perhaps the outcome. Perhaps whichever team's defensive line gives out first will lose. It seems both Bama and ND like to just keep running until the defensive line finally wears down. But then again, it may come down to which team can be more successful in working in the passing game to stretch out the D. I'm really looking forward to watching this game. I actually picked my new rotation for 2013 so that I'd have the night off to watch the game. :)
2 in a row is pretty impressive...
It is as much as I hate to admit it. Even more so that both titles were by teams with one loss. I don't think you can give saban a month to prepare for a game. He's deadly. Though sadly this time you can combine that with another sad fact. The ND team that showed up to the title game wasn't the one that rolled into Norman. It was the team that barely escaped Pitt. Sadly I think Kelly knew going in, with how he changed the ND game plan.

Fighting the age of irrationality
There are many examples today of irrational behaviour on a grand scale. Those of us not engaged in this mass irrationality feel very alone in the world — especially after Obama was handily elected to a second term as U.S. president. People no longer act in their own best interests or the interests of their friends and family — they seem to be acting in the best interests of other groups; groups identified by the mainstream media (MSM) as underdogs, regardless of the fact that these so-called "underdogs" want to transform us into miserable slaves of some totalitarian religion or crazy political belief

I am looking into getting a Cubox and using XBMC to access my music/media library, mostly for the main goal of playing FLAC files, without connecting my laptop to the receiver.
Also, it has a optical out port on it, would this be viable to feed my receiver if I am only using 2-channel?
Anyone have any experience with a similar setup? Any advice or tips would be great.
Seems like a very versatile option.

Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was one of the most influential modern scientists to put forth a theory about how people develop a sense of self. He believed that personality and sexual development were closely linked, and he divided the maturation process into psychosexual stages: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. He posited that people's self development is closely linked to early stages of development, like breastfeeding, toilet training, and sexual awareness (Freud 1905).
According to Freud, failure to properly engage in or disengage from a specific stage results in emotional and psychological consequences throughout adulthood. An adult with an oral fixation may indulge in overeating or binge drinking. An anal fixation may produce a neat freak (hence the term "anal retentive"), while a person stuck in the phallic stage may be promiscuous or emotionally immature. Although no solid empirical evidence supports Freud's theory, his ideas continue to contribute to the work of scholars in a variety of disciplines.
Sociology or Psychology: What's the Difference?:
You might be wondering: if sociologists and psychologists are both interested in people and their behavior, how are these two disciplines different? What do they agree on, and where do their ideas diverge? The answers are complicated, but the distinction is important to scholars in both fields.
As a general difference, we might say that while both disciplines are interested in human behavior, psychologists are focused on how the mind influences that behavior, while sociologists study the role of society in shaping behavior. Psychologists are interested in people's mental development and how their minds process their world. Sociologists are more likely to focus on how different aspects of society contribute to an individual's relationship with his world. Another way to think of the difference is that psychologists tend to look inward (mental health, emotional processes), while sociologists tend to look outward (social institutions, cultural norms, interactions with others) to understand human behavior.
Emile Durkheim (1958–1917) was the first to make this distinction in research, when he attributed differences in suicide rates among people to social causes (religious differences) rather than to psychological causes (like their mental wellbeing) (Durkheim 1897). Today, we see this same distinction. For example, a sociologist studying how a couple gets to the point of their first kiss on a date might focus her research on cultural norms for dating, social patterns of sexual activity over time, or how this process is different for seniors than for teens. A psychologist would more likely be interested in the person's earliest sexual awareness or the mental processing of sexual desire.
Sometimes sociologists and psychologists have collaborated to increase knowledge. In recent decades, however, their fields have become more clearly separated as sociologists increasingly focus on large societal issues and patterns, while psychologists remain honed in on the human mind. Both disciplines make valuable contributions through different approaches that provide us with different types of useful insights.
Psychologist Erik Erikson (1902–1994) created a theory of personality development based, in part, on the work of Freud. However, Erikson believed the personality continued to change over time and was never truly finished. His theory includes eight stages of development, beginning with birth and ending with death. According to Erikson, people move through these stages throughout their lives. In contrast to Freud's focus on psychosexual stages and basic human urges, Erikson's view of self development gave credit to more social aspects, like the way we negotiate between our own base desires and what is socially accepted (Erikson 1982).
Jean Piaget (1896–1980) was a psychologist who specialized in child development, focusing specifically on the role of social interactions in their development. He recognized that the development of self evolved through a negotiation between the world as it exists in one's mind and the world that exists as it is experienced socially (Piaget 1954). All three of these thinkers have contributed to our modern understanding of self development.

» Our Animals » Birds » Blue-headed Macaw
Blue-headed macaws are also known as "mini" macaws. Until the middle 1990's Blue headed macaws were unknown in aviculture.Their heads are a blue-grey color and the beak is pale. The facial skin is grey and the eyes are bright yellow with red rings around the iris. The tail is long and tapered and is blue and green. Mini macaws are lively boisterous birds and require generous living space. They are playful and love to chew - especially wooden blocks and branches from non-toxic trees. In the wild these birds will eat soil at 'clay licks.' It's believed that this behavior provides a source of sodium and protects the birds from toxins in their natural diet. CONSERVATION
Listed as vulnerable due to over-collecting for pet trade.
SIZE 16 inches tall RANGE The blue-headed macaw occurs in eastern Peru, extreme western Brazil, and north-western Bolivia. HABITAT It is found in the south-west Amazon and adjacent east Andean foothills. DIET Their dietary preferences in the wild is largely unknown. In captivity they are known to do well on the normal captive macaw diet of fruits, nuts and berries.

Balanced Nuggets look to finish series comeback vs. Lakers
Lawson scores 32 as Nuggets force Game 7 vs Lakers
Playing together and having fun, the Denver Nuggets have a chance to party like it's 1994.
Once down 3-1 in the first-round of the Western Conference playoffs, they are taking the Los Angeles Lakers to the limit.
Denver got a career playoff-high 32 points from point guard Ty Lawson and rode a 13-0 start to a wire-to-wire 113-96 victory over the Lakers in Game 6 Thursday night at Pepsi Center.
The sixth-seeded Nuggets and No. 3 Lakers will play Game 7 on Saturday at Staples Center.
NOTEBOOK: Depth benefits Nuggets with each playoff game
LOS ANGELES – The matchup between the Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers has typically been billed as a conflict of speed versus size.
As their intriguing Western Conference playoff series stretches to a sixth game, you can now add an element of endurance.
With a roster loaded with young legs, Denver has employed a nine-man rotation against Los Angeles, while the more experienced Lakers have primarily relied on seven players.
Short memory key as Nuggets return home to take on L.A.
LOS ANGELES – As the Nuggets prepared for a post-breakfast film session Wednesday, coach George Karl walked to front of the room and handled the opening credits.
There was plenty of praise to go around 12 hours after Denver kept its season alive with an inspired victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in their Western Conference playoff series.
Nuggets avoid elimination, beat Lakers to force Game 6
There was some question about whether the Nuggets would go quietly into the offseason as they faced an elimination game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Their response was unequivocal: Absolutely not.
Showing no fear of the big stage, the Nuggets stood up to the Lakers at Staples Center on Tuesday night, building a double-digit lead and holding on for a 102-99 victory to stay alive in their Western Conference playoff series.
"It was all about energy and guts," Nuggets point guard Andre Miller said. "We showed some heart."
Friend to foe: Lakers coach got his NBA start with Nuggets
Around Pepsi Center, the Los Angeles Lakers are Playoff Enemy No. 1.
Their coach Mike Brown, however, makes them slightly less reviled than when Phil Jackson was perched on the L.A. bench.
Brown's road to becoming an NBA coach began with the Nuggets when he was hired as the team's video coordinator in 1992. His wife is from Evergreen and their two children were born at the Children's Hospital in Denver.
Facing elimination, Nuggets look to rise up in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES – On the eve of playing the first elimination game of his NBA career, Nuggets rookie Kenneth Faried could draw inspiration from the first elimination game of his college career.
Those who know anything about Faried know how he led Morehead State to an upset of heavily favored Louisville in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. He and the Nuggets now face a win-or-go-home scenario against the heavily favored Los Angeles Lakers.
Lakers control the boards in Game 4, seize control of series
From the coach's office to the locker room, the conclusion was unanimous.

Due to some family obligations we had to get creative in getting audio from Team USA coach Keith Allain and forward Kyle Palmieri to discuss Wednesday's bronze-medal clash against Sweden, but creativity worked as the fine people at USA Hockey hooked The News up with a phone interview with the pair. Among the items of discussion: an opportunity for the U.S. to not only win a medal on home soil for the first time in five tries as a host but also medal in back-to-back years for the first time ever and what that would mean to USA Hockey.
Here is audio from the interviews, taped off a speaker phone.
