LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Scholastic Media, a division of Scholastic Inc, the global children's publishing, education and media company, announced today a collaboration with Intel Corporation to design interactive gaming content for kids and families, featuring Intel's RealSense technology that enables voice and gesture interaction, and showcasing two of Scholastic's most iconic global franchises, Clifford the Big Red Dog® and I SPY™. At the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show today, Mooly Eden, senior vice president and General Manager of Perceptual Computing at Intel Corporation, unveiled hardware and software products that bring natural, human interaction to computing devices – and included Scholastic's new interactive game 'Clifford's Reading Adventures' in his demonstration.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100907/SCHOLASTICLOGO)
The game demonstrates Intel's RealSense 3D camera and the portable all-in-one (pAIO) PC's ability to create more natural human interaction and immersive experiences. The pAIO is a new category of PCs which offer the performance of a full PC inside a sleek, lay-flat, battery-based design with a larger, high definition screen and multi-user functionality. Together, the technologies encourage kids ages 3 and up to become active participants within Clifford stories using motion-based interactions, or voicing story elements, to advance the experience while learning core literacy skills and reading fundamentals along the way. The game features four interactive animated adventures that allow players to interact with their favorite Clifford characters; each adventure features three replayable activities that build early reading skills such as phonics, vocabulary, rhyming and logic. 'Clifford's Reading Adventures' multi-player features can be played solo or with a partner.
"We are thrilled to be working with Intel to develop games that bring the family together, using Scholastic's award-winning Clifford the Big Red Dog and I SPY," said Deborah Forte, President of Scholastic Media, and Executive Vice President of Scholastic Inc. "Intel's exciting technologies provide a platform for Scholastic's producers to design games that encourage the family to learn and play together."
"The idea that our devices are gathering family and friends to play games and build learning skills is great motivation for continuing this type of innovation," said Lisa Graff, vice president, general manager of Desktop Client Platform Group at Intel Corporation. "We are thrilled to be working with Scholastic and believe this is just the beginning of what is to come. The portable all-in-one PC with its large, lay-flat, multi-user touch screen can be unplugged and moved from room to room and, when combined with the new Intel RealSense 3D camera, will continue to encourage shared experiences for people to interact, play and have fun together."
Scholastic and Intel will also partner on 'I SPY Challenger' – the first of its kind, interactive multiplayer board game that promotes collaborative play for kids ages 6 and up with a multiplayer feature for up to four players. The game boasts more than 60 I SPY riddles with classic seek and find play with a twist; there are three different play modes, simultaneous multiplayer and speed rounds. Additionally, two fast-action puzzle games challenge players with more than 90 collective rounds of play. Players are rewarded with points and achievement badges for objects found in riddles and rounds completed within the games, and special tokens earned throughout the game that offer time, single player, and blocking advantages.
Both games will be available for Windows Desktop and Windows Metro – and several new games are in development for through 2015.
With more than 126 million books in print from Scholastic in 13 languages by beloved creator Norman Bridwell, Clifford is a literary classic embraced by parents, teachers and kids. Clifford the Big Red Dog airs weekdays on PBS KIDS. The global franchise celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013.
I SPY, based on the best-selling Scholastic book series that boasts over 49 million books in print, is a best-selling interactive gaming franchise that has successfully been adapted for many platforms, including Nintendo DS, Wii, LeapFrog and iOS. The Emmy® award-winning television series, also based on the books, is available for streaming on Netflix.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

The Mountain View Memorial Cemetery recently posted its new website, writes Timothy MB Farrell, president, Mountain View Memorial Cemetery Inc. It can be found on the web at http://www.mo-untainviewmemorial.org/.
The site replaces an older site developed by some graduate students at UCLA, the first of its kind for a Hood River County cemetery. The site was designed by Helen Hendricks of Pinduli Design (http://www.pinduli.com/about.html), who specializes in website design.
"The site has some excellent photographs of the property and has a detailed history of the property and its present operations," Farrell states. There is also a brief biography of Nathaniel Coe, the county's founder, with a link to a more detailed discussion of his life.
Coe was good friends with President Filmore and other political luminaries of his day, having been himself a longtime New York state representative.
Next, the site has a list of products and services. Most significantly, the site is now capable of allowing purchases to be made on line through PayPal.
The information and resources section has a listing of all those buried on the property. There is a map on the property donated by the local historical society for visitors with burial coordinates to quickly and easily locate graves.
There is also a link to all the obituaries of those buried on the property, an excellent tool for genealogists and others.
Other information includes the rules (hours of operation, etc.) and links to other resources (Cemetery Association of Oregon, etc.). As a nonprofit corporation, the historic property is always looking for donations and for volunteers.
A PayPal account allows donations to be made through the website and contact information is given for the sexton. The property is managed by Farrell, a local attorney (http://www.avvo.com/attor-neys/97031-or-timothy-farrell-655922.html).

Calif. man stabs self, chokes and bites police K-9
Frank Garcia, believed to be high on drugs, was punching car windows then stabbed himself 3 times before attacking the K-9
By Lisa Fernandez and George Kiriyama
NBC Bay Area
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Kurtis Stenderup said they took Frank Garcia, 34, into custody on charges of resisting arrest, brandishing weapon, felony vandalism, being under the influence of a controlled substance and injuring a police dog - all from a bizarre incident on Monday near San Jose.
Garcia, armed with what deputies are saying was a knife, slashed a tire and smashed several car windows prompting more deputies to be called out for help. The deputies then released "Ski," which Garcia allegedly choked, punched and bit. Deputies were at that point able to tackle and subdue him.
"Ski," the German Shepherd, suffered some scraped paws but is expected to be OK and return to work soon.

The present invention relates generally to the field of archery, and more particularly to an improved target apparatus.
Targets are well known in the sport of archery for the purpose of providing something to shoot at which will stop the arrows and will prevent loss or damage to such arrows. One of the most common and well known of such target devices is a matt which is wound from grass or hay and upon which a paper target is placed. The paper target provides reference points for the archer to shoot at, and the matt behind it actually stops the arrow before the fletching passes therethrough.
Other types of targets and arrow stopping devices are also in common usage. For example, there are styrofoam or other types of solid foam targets, some of which are molded into the shapes of animals or have an animal imprinted on the front thereof. Many of these are three dimensional, but a common target of this type is also a flat silhouette in the shape of a particular animal, sometimes having the features of such animal painted on the front thereof.
These foam silhouette targets are sometimes anchored to the ground and at other times they merely set on the ground on a platform attached to the bottom thereof. On these silhouette targets which are merely held upright by gravity, once they are hit by an arrow, they are pushed rearwardly by the force of the arrow and often come to rest in something other than an upright position, thereby requiring that the target be set upright and placed at the distance desired in order for a second shot to be made at such target. If the silhouette target is solidly or rigidly attached to the ground, for example by using a ground stake, then the arrows will tend to pass through such silhouette target and eventually a hole will be blown out of the area where most of the arrows are striking the silhouette target.
Once there is a hole in a silhouette target, it defeats the purpose of stopping the arrow and preventing damage to the arrows and to the target itself. When arrows pass through such a target, it is difficult to determine exactly where the arrow passed through, and therefore the arrow is difficult to score. Also, the arrow can be lost in the grass or the like behind the target. When the arrow passes through the target, the fletching often is torn off or damaged as it hits portions of the target.
Consequently there is a need for a silhouette target apparatus which will absorb the shock of the arrow and stop the arrows to allow the arrows to be properly scored, to prevent damage to the target itself, and to prevent damage to or loss of the arrows. Also, there is a need for a silhouette target which has the aforementioned shock absorbing abilities and which is also automatically reset to the same position each time after each arrow impacts the target.
The present invention relates to a target apparatus having a structure for receivingly stopping and holding arrows, which target is pivotally attached to a support member and biased to an upright position whereby when an arrow is shot into the target, it will pivot backwardly to absorb some of the shock of the impact of the arrow and which will then return to its original position for the next shot without a need to manually reset the target. An oscillation dampening structure is also provided on the target to cause such target to return to its original position as soon as possible after an arrow is shot into it.
The present invention relates to an improved target apparatus for archery.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a target apparatus which will absorb the shock of an arrow shot into it.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an automatic resetting mechanism for a silhouette archery target.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide an archery target apparatus of the aforementioned type which will include a shock absorbing apparatus which will automatically reset to the original position of the target after an arrow strikes the target.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide an archery target apparatus of the aforementioned type which will prevent the arrows from passing therethrough which will also preserve the life of the target and will prevent loss or damage of arrows shot into such target apparatus.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention, when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a silhouette target apparatus for archery constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1 and showing an arrow about to strike the target;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view like FIG. 2, but showing the shock absorbing feature of the preferred embodiment just after an arrow has impacted the target; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial cross sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, FIG. 1 shows a spring mounted silhouette archery target apparatus (10) constructed in accordance with the present invention.
The target apparatus (10) includes three back-to-back and glued together styrofoam members (11), each having a vital portion (12) of foam material which is more dense than the area outside of the vital portion (12). The purpose of having a more dense area within the vital portion (12) is because typically more arrows will enter the portion (12) for the reason that it is the portion which archers are trying to hit. The front face of the front one of the styrofoam members (11) has the shape of a raccoon imprinted thereon, although this does not necessarily constitute a necessary element of the present invention. It will also be understood to those skilled in the art that the shapes of other animals can be formed by layers (11) and that accordingly, other corresponding imprints will be made to the front of the front layer (11) of such targets.
Referring to FIG. 4, it is noted that a board or other rigid member (13) is glued to the bottom of the three styrofoam members (11) by an adhesive (14). A metal plate (15) is bolted to the wooden board member (13) by threaded nut and bolt fasteners (16).
A support member (17) is shown in FIGS. 1-3 as having a ground engaging stakes (18) bolted thereon by a threaded fastener (19). These stakes (18) are pushed into the ground (20) to hold the apparatus (10) in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but it will be understood that the support member (17) could be fastened to a floor or other supporting surface, rather than being outdoors and attached to the ground.
The support member (17) has an upwardly extending curved portion (21) attached thereto and a metal strap (22) is welded to the top of the portion (21) of support member (17), such as by welds (23) shown in FIG. 4.
A plurality of springs (24), of a helical type, are attached between the plate (15) and the strap (22) by use of bolts (25) threadably received into members (26) which have an outside diameter slightly larger than the inside diameter of the springs (24) so that friction will hold the springs (24) onto the post (26). Posts (27) are similarly rigidly attached to the plate (15), for example by having openings in the plate (15) in a press-fit relationship with respect to post (28); alternatively, the post (28) can be welded to the plate (15) or they can be attached in the manner that the post (26) is attached to the strap (22).
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, for example, it is noted that a oscillation dampening stop member (29) is bolted to the strap (22) by a nut and bolt fastener (30). This stop member (29) has a curved free end (31) which contacts the front bottom portion of the board (13), as shown in FIG. 2 when the apparatus (10) is in the at-rest position in readiness to have an arrow (32) shot into it.
In operation of the preferred embodiment (10) of the present invention, an archer would face the target apparatus (10) generally from the front thereof so that it would be viewed similar to the view from FIG. 1, although the archer could obviously stand somewhat to one side or the other if desired. Once the arrow (32) shown in FIG. 2 is shot, it will enter the front of members (11 or 12) and the force of the arrow (32) will cause the target apparatus to move to the position shown in FIG. 3, generally causing a pivoting motion in the direction of the arrow (33). The impact of the arrow (32) will be absorbed by the helical spring (24) and by the members (11) or (12), causing the springs (24) to bend as shown in FIG. 3.
After the shock of impact of the arrow (32) has been absorbed, then the springs will automatically bias the layers (11 and 12) of the target apparatus (10) back to the position shown in FIG. 2 and the front bottom portion of the board (13) will contact the top free end of the stop member (29). If this stop member (29) was not provided, the target layers (11) would continue to oscillate and cause the ancher to wait to shoot the next arrow until the target has stopped moving. Also, this oscillation would tend to be noisy and would tend to cause excessive wear on the springs (24) and associated parts thereof.
The pivoting motion shown between FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is caused by the force of the arrow (32) about a moment arm which extends from somewhere generally in the center portion of the springs (24), up to the point where the arrow impacts the target. As this occurs, the extra inertial force will cause more friction between the top of the arrow and the top of the hole where the arrow enters the target that if this pivoting did not occur, i.e., that if the members (11 and 12) were held stationary and could not move from the position shown in FIG. 2. Consequently, the arrows (32) will not penetrate the layers (11) as much as if this structure was not provided and consequently this novel pivoting construction will prevent arrow "pass-throughs" which will extend the life of the target apparatus (10) and will prevent loss or damage of the arrows (33). If the fletching portion (34) of the arrow (32) extends into the layers (11 or 12) of the target apparatus (10), they will be damaged, since they are made of feathers or thin, fragile, plastic flexible material which are merely glued to the shaft of the arrow (32).
Accordingly, it will be appreciated that the aforementioned preferred embodiment of the present invention does indeed accomplish the aforementioned objects. Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practised otherwise than as specifically described.

text: Safeway, Whole Foods Top Greenpeace Seafood Ratingsby Akhila Vijayaraghavan on Monday, May 7th, 2012 ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Greenpeace has long been an ardent crusader for the health of the world's oceans. They have worked with several companies to improve their sourcing and they also release a guide to ethically sourced tuna.According to the sixth edition of Greenpeace's Carting Away to Oceans report (CATO), only two major retailers have been given a top green rating.The 2012 rankings survey twenty companies and only Safeway and Whole Foods have walked away with top marks. The scorecard states that a majority of retailers do receive a passing grade – these include Target, Aldi, Walmart, Costco, and Trader Joe's, although Trader Joe's received a very low score in this category. However, Meijer, Supervalu, Publix, and BI-LO/Winn-Dixie received a failing grade of below four points.The report states that, "through varying combinations of progressive policy development, public support for conservation measures, and the elimination of unsustainable seafood inventory items, these two companies – Safeway and Whole Foods – have transformed themselves into undeniable leaders within the industry. Although the two retailers are extremely different in business model, consumer demographic, and size, they have each found ways to excel in their promotion and adoption of sustainable seafood. Certainly they still have a great deal of work to do – sustainability is, after all, a moving target, as it is inextricably linked to the dynamics of our oceanic ecosystems and to the vagaries of our changing climate – but Greenpeace celebrates the achievements of these companies and eagerly awaits similar outcomes from other retailers that are poised to embrace sustainability to a greater degree."Both of these supermarket chains have been working towards a more progressive sourcing policy. Greenpeace states that since 2008, U.S. seafood retailers have improved significantly overall. Both the top performers have set themselves apart by eliminating sales of red list species. Red list species are the most threatened species due to overfishing. The report writers note that since the CATO project began in 2007, the 20 retailers analyzed have discontinued a total of 67 red list species. This is over 20 percent of the total number originally sold.Even more surprisingly, the last two years have had the most progress, which means that there is a growing trend among seafood retailers to find sustainable alternatives. There are significant challenges in supplying sustainable seafood, but with constant innovation and policy change, companies can lead the way to healthier oceans.Image Credit: Greenpeace © CATO Report 2012 Akhila is the Founding Director of GreenDen Consultancy which is dedicated to offering business analysis, reporting and marketing solutions powered by sustainability and social responsibility.
