Liquids, aerosols and gels
To protect you from the threat of liquid explosives, there are rules for taking liquids, aerosols and gels on flights in and out of Australia. These rules also apply to passengers arriving on international flights who are transiting in Australia, and passengers travelling on the domestic leg of an international flight within Australia.
- The restrictions on the carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels apply to international flights to and from Australia, and to passengers on the domestic leg of an international flight within Australia.
- The restrictions limit the quantity of liquids, aerosols and gels passengers may take onboard the aircraft with them, including duty free liquids, aerosols and gels.
- The restrictions apply to products carried in the cabin of the aircraft by passengers. They do not apply to checked baggage carried in the hold of the aircraft. However, restrictions on dangerous goods still apply.
- Certain exemptions apply for medicines, medical products, medical devices, and baby products that you may need during the flight. Details of these exemptions are covered in the exemptions part of this site.
Passengers travelling on international flights from Australia need to be aware of the quantity limits for liquids, aerosols and gels that can be taken through a security screening point at the airport.
- Liquid, aerosol or gel products must be in containers of 100 millilitres or less (broadly equivalent to 100 grams or less).
- The containers must be carried in one transparent, resealable plastic bag, like the one in the image below.
- The four sides of the bag's sealed area must add up to no more than 80 centimetres (e.g. 20x20 cm or 15x25 cm).
- The plastic bag must be the type that can be sealed and resealed with a sealing mechanism, like a sandwich bag or freezer bag.
- Only one bag is allowed for each passenger, with exceptions for carers who may carry the bag/s of the people in their care, including children.
- All containers must fit comfortably into the plastic bag and the bag must be sealed.
Liquids, Aerosols and Gels Brochure
The following brochure provides an overview of the liquid, aerosol and gel restrictions for international flights departing Australia.
Containers larger than 100 millilitres, even if only partially-filled, will not be allowed through the security screening point.

Barclays to close Woolwich Plan Managers in structured product overhaul
by Rachael Revesz on Dec 11, 2012 at 10:40
Barclays is to close structured product provider Woolwich Plan Managers and offer all structured investments in an unbundled format through third party platforms and stockbrokers, as part of an overhaul of its distribution strategy .
All existing structured investments for advisers will be administered until maturity, but new investments will not be accepted as of 31 December.
Barclays already offers structured products on Nucleus, Transact and 7IM, as well as several stockbrokers and Sipp providers.
The move is part of Barclays plans to move all its structured products business to its investment bank.
A Barclays spokesman said that come 1 January, all structured investments for UK intermediaries will be made exclusively available via third party platforms.
'As a business we are always looking at how we can most effectively serve our intermediary clients. We feel that the best way to do this is via third party platforms, allowing advisers to manage client portfolios centrally and take advantage of improved liquidity,' he said. 'We remain committed to the UK intermediary market and will continue to administer through our own platforms all existing investments.'

"One of the most important aspects of marketing is to know your audiences well and to always evaluate the quality of the current program. We survey attendees, asking for ideas on future topics and suggestions, and then we try hard to put those suggestions into action.
"Our department plans about 30 meetings a year. The sizes of the meetings vary from 30 participants to 2,500 and more. For our larger gatherings, we use a promotional video that is based on clips from the previous year's event, and we send registration information packets directly to past participants and to all the parishes in the archdiocese. For our smaller meetings, we use direct mail and also targeted e-mail as a reminder. We also offer early bird discounts to encourage attendees to register well in advance of the event.
"We will soon offer online registration through our Web site, which will enable us to get event information in front of people who aren't on our mailing list."
"We have to caution against creating a look that is too slick. In the corporate world, the slicker the presentation, the better, but in the religious market, if something we send out looks as if it costs too much money, it's not good. We have to balance the function of the brochure, who our market is, and the cost.
"We are fortunate to have a good database. We have to make sure our information goes to the right person. Our biggest challenge is to keep the database is updated, which we do through contacts and some telemarketing.
"We don't have that many new meetings, but when we do have a new meeting, that's different, and the promotional pieces have to be slicker. For our new multicultural music festival, for example, we created a nice promotional piece, but it's not on shiny paper."
"We send out a meeting packet with a cover letter that explains what the meeting is about and provides information about the city and what things attendees can do there, the phone number for the hotel, some general information, and transportation information.
"We started to use our Web site last year. I think people either love it or don't care for it. For people really into new things, they love being able to access it. We have also started to send response forms through e-mail. If people are traveling, they aren't going to bring their mail, but they'll bring their laptop and be able to respond."
"We use full-color postcards. It's an economical way to get the word out. We do a color brochure for registration kits and send follow-up postcards as reminders. We do some calling. And our Web site promotes the meetings.
"We did something different last year that worked: We put all our meetings in one publication. We send that out to 8,500 Christian, public, and private schools nationwide. We also target, with a postcard, different regions of the country where the meetings are being held. We also send reminders by e-mail. We don't trust everything to one method."
"The year before our National Youth Gathering, which is a tri-annual event with an attendance of 35,000, we have two other meetings that are held in the city where the Gathering will take place. The meeting location is our best marketing point. Our program is our drawing card. Because of budget cuts, we don't have the funds to mail elaborate, four-color brochures to our 6,300 congregations. Instead, we design less-expensive pieces and rely more heavily on our Web site. We've had to be creative."

Around the NFC North: Offseason Moves and Views on the Vikings, Bears and Lions
What have the teams in the NFC North not named the Green Bay Packers been up to this offseason? Read on and find out.
Minnesota Vikings
Players Released: G Steve Hutchinson, G Anthony Herrera, CB Cedric Griffin, NT Remi Ayodele, TE Jim Kleinsasser (retired)
Free Agents Signed: TE John Carlson, FB Jerome Felton, RB Lex Hilliard, OL Geoff Schwartz, CB Zack Bowman
Re-Signings: DT Fred Evans, QB Sage Rosenfels, DL Letroy Guion, WR Devin Aromashodu
Holes on Roster: CB, S, LT, LG and WR
The Vikings ditched the Triangle of Authority and named Rick Spielman sole general manager not long after their 2011 season (mercifully) ended. Naturally, many Vikings fans expected Spielman to start signing free agents as soon as possible, anything to erase the memories of a 3-13 season that saw the Vikings take several steps backward while the Packers, Lions and Bears got better.
Those marquee free-agent signings never came. Instead, Spielman appears to be doing his best Ted Thompson impersonation by signing no-name free agents and talking about building through the draft. The one exception was signing TE John Carlson to a five-year, $25 million deal.
The Vikings are in a weird spot. They have a young QB that may or may not be a long-term solution. Their best offensive player tore his ACL at the end of last season. Their coach has no personality and is unproven. And their defense keeps getting older.
They're not only rebuilding, they're in the infant stages of rebuilding.
On top of all that, owner Zygi Wilf is in the fight of his life trying to get taxpayer funding to build a new stadium. I suppose there is a chance that 2012 may be the last season the Packers play the Vikings, the Minnesota Vikings, anyway. If had to take an educated guess, though, I'd say that Wilf eventually gets his stadium and the Vikings will blow their horns in Minnesota for many years to come.
But a new stadium might be the only good news for Vikings fans in the near future. This team is rebuilding, and it's going to take a while before they contend in the NFC North again.
Chicago Bears
Players Released: DT Anthony Adams, OL Frank Omiyale, RB Marion Barber (retired)
Free Agents Signed: KR-PR Eric Weems, RB Michael Bush, OB Jason Campbell, LB Blake Costanzo, QB Josh McCown,

In the wake of the sequestration cuts going into effect March 1, all branches of the U.S. military accept the U.S. Navy have suspended their Tuition Assistance grant program for active duty service members as a cost saving measure.
Local U.S. Reps. Scott Rigell, R-Virginia Beach, and Robert C. "Bobby" Scott, D-Newport News, are working to get the grants which offer active duty service members, National Guard members and reservists up to $4,500 a tear in grants for college, vocational training or high school completion courses.
Rigell has cosponsored legislation in the House of Representatives that would cut foreign aid to Egypt by $500 million with that money being used to fund the tuition grants until Oct. 1.
"We have an obligation to defend those who defend our nation," Rigell said. "The men and women who risk their lives on a daily basis to protect our freedom deserve the opportunity to receive a quality education. It's important that we protect educational opportunities for our service members, not defund them."
Scott has signed a letter along with 45 other House members of both parties asking President Barack Obama's new Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagelasking him to direct the federal Department of Defense to reinstate the grants.
"While we understand the Department of Defense must make tough choices in the face of sequestration and current budget cuts, we wholly disagree with the decisions to suspend this critical program," the letter states.
Scott was the only House member from Virginia to sign the letter.
On the other side of the Capitol the U.S. Senate voted to restore the Military Tuition Assistance grants Thursday in its stop-gap measure to fund the federal government through Sept. 30.

text: Movies About Hacking Cyberspace Outlaws: 5 Movies About Hacking by Michele Foley 10/06/10 2 Reactions 19 Shares Print 0 4 15 0 0 Like a lot of other people, I spent my weekend watching The Social Network. One of my favorite scenes is when Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) — drunk and rejected — ends his night blogging on LiveJournal and hacking into Harvard's system. I always love a good computer hacking scene: they're full of energy, adrenaline, and it's funny to see just how wrong the movies depict hacks. When it comes to cyberspace and hacking there's a lot to choose from in Hollywood. Here are five films that made the cut. War Games What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After a bad day at school, David (Matthew Broderick) beats the blues with an afternoon of hacking. First, he sticks it to the Man by changing his grades in the high school's computer system. Then he tries to get the jump on a new computer game. Problem is, he doesn't hack into a computer game company, he hacks into a military supercomputer. Uh-oh, I think that's the sound of the Cold War melting. 1 / 5 The Matrix What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Thomas (Keanu Reeves) is a computer programmer by day and Neo — a badass computer hacker — by night. In short, he meets some legendary hackers, takes the red pill, becomes "the One," and aids in a rebellion to free humans from a life of slavery. The Matrix continues to be one of the best sci-fi films ever made, and while it goes way beyond hacking, breaking into computer systems is central to the plot. The film also has street cred. In The Matrix Reloaded, Trinity (Carrie Moss) runs Nmap, a free open source hacking tool. 2 / 5 Hackers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Acid Burn (Angelina Jolie) and Zero Cool (Jonny Lee Miller) lead a pack of renegade computer hackers in an effort to take down an evil corporation and prove their friend's innocence. The fun from this movie comes in how it glamorizes hacking and cyberculture as a world of rave music, Rollerblades, and Jolt Cola. Disclaimer: this movie is oh-so-cheesy, but totally worth it. 3 / 5 Sneakers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I LOVE this movie. And years later, its charm still gets me. Martin (Robert Redford) and his team of misfits have turned their skills of hacking and cryptography into a legit business. Awesome, right? Hired by the NSA to track down a mysterious black box, the team gets the box, and in a heap of trouble, too. The box can break into any system and decipher any code. A hacker's dream? Only if you want a death stamp on your head. 4 / 5 Tron What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Another classic, Tron taught viewers to be careful of what you hack. To rightfully get back what's his, Kevin (Jeff Bridges) hacks into the mainframe of the software company he once worked for. And through a turn of events, ends up inside the computer — as his digitized self! In order to get the hell out of there, Flynn must compete in some fantastical gladiator-meets-cyberpace battles. 6 / 5 0 4 15 0 0 Read More HackingWar GamesThe Social NetworkTronThe MatrixHackersSneakersMovies Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Instilling a Sense of Gratitude After the Gift Bonanza
A look at the importance of gratitude, and how to instill it in children.
Posted by Catherine Crawford ,
With the excitement of Christmas now behind my family, I am occasionally haunted by fears that my two school-aged daughters will end up remembering the selfish, rather than the selfless, side of the holidays. They made out like bandits, and no child could possibly be thankful for all these presents simultaneously.
It's not just that I want my girls to be good people. A lack of gratitude can have disastrous consequences, as gratitude "has been linked to better health, sounder sleep, less anxiety and depression, higher long-term satisfaction with life and kinder behavior toward others, including romantic partners."
There's even evidence that teenagers who feel gratitude are less prone to problems with drugs and alcohol and less likely to have problems at school.
With this in mind, I embarked on a crusade to make sure my kids truly feel thankful as they are showered in gifts this season and beyond.
The first step was to show them how it's done, and my husband and I have started voicing more often the things we are thankful for — everything from washing machines to penicillin (and, of course, our kids). The flip side is to resist the urge to complain about the things we don't have.
I asked my two girls, separately, to name the top five things they are thankful for. Surprisingly, neither of them said toys. I'm not sure if this is a good thing, or rather an indication of the depth of their feelings of entitlement. My 9-year-old's list included "food, obviously" and "books."
My daughter's love of books gave me the idea of starting a "gratitude diary." Turns out, this concept wasn't particularly original. Olivier Burkeman, author of 'The Anecdote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking,' places a lot of stock in his own gratitude journal. "On the one hand, it really helps," he writes. "On the other hand – well, come on. It's keeping a gratitude journal."
Just before bed on Sunday nights, we all write down something new that we are grateful for, and explain why. Rather than a chore, it's become a poignant, lovely little ritual that we all look forward to. It may sound cheesy, but according to Mary Jane Ryan, author of the book 'Attitudes of Gratitude,' "No one is born grateful. Recognizing that someone has gone out of the way for you is not a natural behavior for children -- it's learned."
Do you do anything in particular to help your children experience gratitude? Tell us in the comments or in a blog post.

Sophie wishes her mother cared more about things that really matter - like her father, who does charity work in Africa. Then Sophie meets Tony, who is different from everyone she knows. He isn't concerned with being cool or trendy, so Sophie feels relaxed around him. But he's just a friend - or is he?

Virtual L ®
It's Logan Squares latest addition to the local music and art scene, courtesy of Whistler Records founders Rob Brenner and Billy Hellenkamp. The Whistler brings a bit more diversity to the nightlife choices in the area; kind of like an arty neighborhood bar, the Whistlers atmosphere is hip but not quite hipster. While nightly DJs and live music are already on tap, also expect rotating storefront art installations, film screenings and other events.
The bar seats about 60, which makes the place a tight fit during peak bar hours, but for good reason. The bartender serves stylish takes on "old man" drinks think sidecars, whiskey sours and other high-spirited favorites (most run about $8).
Since the Whistler's bartender takes the "mixology" approach to serving one up, you may have to wait awhile for your drink, but there is plenty of music and art to keep you entertained.

I have been working at Eurofins Scientific full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – This is a place where you can gain a good set of skills in the laboratory. In my experience, I had great co-workers who were good to work with. The benefits are good if you are paying for yourself, only.
Cons – One of the major reasons there is a high turnover rate is because of the poor pay. If you are thinking about paying for healthcare for your family or you and your spouse, the premiums are outrageous. Personally, I would have had to use at least 40% of my monthly income to pay for family coverage. I couldn't afford it.
I have known some of the hardest working people who stuck around waiting and waiting for an increase in pay or a job promotion, only to be disappointed.
From what I've seen, upper management will keep those who have worked there for a long time even when they treat newer employees like garbage.
Advice to Senior Management – If you gave your employees pay increases other than the standard cost of living increase, they would have hope for their jobs. I feel like all the hard work that I've done has simply gone unnoticed.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Eurofins Scientific
Pros – As described by the first reviewer-
Friendly, helpful and experienced staff make Eurofins a good place to learn in pleasant, semi rural surroundings.
Cons – The disparity between the pay rates of longer serving staff and management bonuses versus the poor pay for newer members means they loose staff quickly.
I worked at Eurofins Scientific
Pros – Friendly and sociable staff.
Good sense of team spirit.
Flexi-time is useful.
Nice site location.
The Christmas meal and summer barbecue are welcome events.
Cons – Very poor pay and unfair conditions. Some staff get a bigger holiday allowance and are paid significantly more than others to do the same job, often to a lower standard.
No opportunities for professional or career development: Eurofins almost never promote internally, always hiring externally and never consider using their own employees abilities and skills.
High staff turnover due to dissatisfaction with the unfair pay and working conditions.
No pay increase for three years yet there has been a lot of money spent on managers and their expenses.
Advice to Senior Management – Make the pay and working conditions fairer for laboratory staff - it is demoralising to have wildly differing pay levels for doing the same job.
Give current staff opportunities to progress their careers within the company.

I've been fascinated with Archetypes for well over a decade. It's one reason I blog on the topic (along with Symbols) here at PaganSquare.
Turns out that Caroline Myss, a modern pioneer on Archetypes is out with a new book on the topic (that's coming under fire on Amazon from seasoned fans of her work) called Archetypes: Who Are You?. I guess it's a watered down version of Sacred Contracts that reads like a commercial tie-in.
Myss has partnered with the founder of Philosophy body products (I think it is). So I came across a potentially cool site based on her newest book: ArchetypeMe.com...
I'm not entirely certain that these are "archetypes" in the same way that Jung defined archetypes but, be that as it may be. This

"I think he has one more gear that we're trying to get out," Matta said.
In trying to find that gear, Matta approached Thompson during Ohio State's shootaround the evening prior to the Buckeyes' 65-41 win over Penn State on Saturday.
The head coach expressed concerns about an assortment of Thompson's statistics during the first six games of Big Ten play, but none of which were related to the forward's points per game average or his shooting percentage.
"He didn't mention so much the offensive end as much as the defensive end and rebounding the ball," Thompson said. "He really wanted me to focus on rebounding the ball and defending well."
Matta pointed out to Thompson that he grabbed only one offensive rebound and had four steals during that span, statistics he knows could translate well into boosting the forward's offensive productivity.
The message from Matta was simple, yet powerful. He wanted Thompson to perfect the reasons he's remained in Ohio State's starting lineup – defense and rebounding – with the hope the sophomore would realize he'd arrive as a scoring threat by playing to his strengths.
"I want to keep my energy level up, I want to defend well and I want to have my defense and my rebounding really translate over to the offensive end," Thompson said. "I want to get some steals and get myself and my team going in transition and just knock down open shots and make the plays that are there for me."
There were instant results for Matta. Thompson responded to the brief chat with by leading all scorers with 16 points off of 6-of-7 shooting in Ohio State's win over the Nittany Lions, all while posting two blocks, two steals and six rebounds.
It was perhaps Thompson's most productive game of the season – it was the first time he reached double-digit scoring in Big Ten play all season – and it came in a road contest when Deshaun Thomas, Ohio State's leading scorer, managed only 11 points.
"There were a couple things we wanted Sam to do, and making shots wasn't one of them," Matta said. "It was taking good shots and open shots in the flow of the game, and fortunately they were going down for him."
Ohio State (15-4, 5-2 Big Ten) instantly becomes a better basketball team if Thompson can make it a trend. The Buckeyes have yet to prove they're something other than a one-man show relying on Thomas' scoring output, even with inexhaustible defender Aaron Craft and versatile weapon Lenzelle Smith Jr. in the starting lineup.
"We have so many great weapons offensively between Deshaun, Lenzelle, Aaron in the starting lineup, I am sometimes kind of the odd man out in that equation," Thompson said. "I really have to start knocking down shots and being more ready when the ball comes my way."
It remains to be seen whether Thompson has found himself as a consistent offensive weapon during a season where he admits opposing defenses have left him at times while concentrating on slowing other players in Ohio State's lineup.
One blip on the scoring radar against Penn State isn't going to take away Thompson's lack of production in both of Ohio State's losses in conference action. He had one point and missed all five of his shots in a loss at Illinois and he scored only three points in the team's close defeat at Michigan State.
The Buckeyes next test comes tonight against Wisconsin in Value City Arena at 7 p.m., a game that will have great implications in the Big Ten race. The Buckeyes and Badgers (14-6, 5-2) are both only a game behind Big Ten leaders Indiana and Michigan.
"It is always good to have a good game, especially in conference play," Thompson said. Your opponents know you so well and it is always going to be a rough night in the Big Ten. It is definitely a confidence booster and definitely felt good to get going like that offensively. Hopefully I can keep it going."

While you may never have considered the importance of tocotrienols to your health, researchers are confirming that they can have a significant positive impact on many aspects of healthy aging. In fact, the latest study with tocotrienols (a lesser-known form of Vitamin E) reveals how they may add to the health and longevity of every cell in your body.
Tocotrienols are a powerful subgroup within the Vitamin E family, unique from the more familiar tocopherols (of which the best known is alpha-tocopherol). Even though studies relating to tocotrienols account for only about 1% of the published research regarding Vitamin E [1], recent developments indicate that tocotrienols possess vast health-promoting properties that may far exceed those exhibited by the better-known tocopherols subgroup.

Brachs Candy Memories can earn you a SweetCertificate!Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 by Jon
I have always been a fan on innovation and few companies have captured my imagination more than Brach's Candy.
It is not that this company is the most innovative in terms of their current offerings but they surely have shaped the way candy is consumed and marketed.
In 1904, Emil Brach immigrated to United States and opened his first candy store in the Windy City of Chicago. The first product offered was Caramels, known today as Milk Maid Caramel Squares, and Mr. Brach was the first to use mass production to create candy combining high quality and a low price.
While the latter might not be the case today, one would be hard pressed to find a better manufacturer of butterscotch disks, candy corn or ice blue mint coolers to name but a few of their better known products.
While the candy speak for itself, few realize that Brach's was the first to introduce the concept of purchasing candy en masse which lead to the creation of the bulk candy industry which now is taken for granted.
Many companies claim to have offered the first "penny candy" but it was Brach's that created the infrastructure allowing for self service and different varieties of loose candy.
The concept was called "Pick and Mix" and combined "old school" displays such as barrels, jars and scoops, a precursor to what is now found in Supermarkets around the globe!
McKeesport Candy Co. was one of the first candy wholesalers in the nation to offer bulk candy and we were one of the first distributors of Brach's dating back to our first purchase in the 1930's.
Candy manufacturers have come and gone and Brach's has changed corporate ownership quite a few times in it's one hundred and five (105) year history but few companies have such a loyal following nor such a sweet history.
Please share with us your favorite memory of Brach's Candy and, if chosen, we will send you a $10 Sweet Certificate which you can apply to any order on CandyFavorites.com

Braden River teacher earns U.S. citizenship
Date: October 7, 2009
by: Michael Eng | Executive Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — Talk about a melting pot.
Braden River High School French teacher Doriane Rencker first stepped foot on American soil as an au pair after college. She worked in several states, including New York and Connecticut, before finally landing in Washington, D.C.
There, she met the love of her life — a Japanese man named Yutaka Usui.
He was her Irish dancing teacher.
"My family always teases me that I went to the United States and married a Japanese man who taught Irish dancing," Rencker said, laughing.
Despite the oddities, Rencker's history is a perfect example of America's unique blending of cultures.
And now, she is proud to call herself an American citizen.
Rencker was one of about 500 to receive her U.S. citizenship during a ceremony Sept. 28 in Tampa. At times, the ceremony reminded her of the Olympics — people stood up and cheered when their country was called, Rencker said.
"It was a lot of fun — and a little bit moving at times," she said. "I was different (from some of the other people) because I didn't flee a country to be here. My reason was because this is my home. I've been here for 10 years now, and it was a natural process."
Born and raised in the northeast part of France, Rencker attended college in the Mulhouse Alsace region to study English.
"I fell in love with English in the sixth grade when I started taking it," she said. "My original goal was to teach English in France."
After earning of bachelor's degree, Rencker began her stint as an au pair in the U.S. She returned to France after one year but came back and married Usui. While in D.C., the couple taught Irish dancing and even toured the country and Canada as performers in the summers.
Usui also worked as a Japanese-English interpreter in the business sector, but following 9/11, work slowed. The couple had friends in Ft. Myers and began looking for a home in Florida. They arrived for a visit in August 2004 — the day Hurricane Charley hit.
Because of the storm, the couple traveled north and eventually arrived in Bradenton.
"We definitely wanted something near the beach and in warm weather," Rencker said. "It's wonderful (here). I wouldn't want to live anywhere else."
At first, the couple tried to resurrect its Irish dancing classes, but when that didn't blossom, Usui launched an accordion repair business and Rencker took a job teaching English at Southeast High School.
After two years, she transferred to Braden River to teach her native language.
"It's fun because you get to break down the stereotypes," Rencker said of sharing her heritage with high school students. "Some students think French people don't shave or don't have refrigerators. It's funny.
"I think they like that I have the real accent, too," she said. "And they like the fact that I can correct the book sometimes."
The day Rencker received her citizenship, she came to school dressed head-to-toe in red, white and blue and tucked an American flag in her hair. The Braden River community celebrated the achievement by naming her its Pirate of the Day.
"I got congratulations from everybody — it was great," she said. "Everyone was happy for me. Maybe I'll be taken more seriously — like I am for real now."

Fans of the King of Pop are gearing up for the second annual party in Michael Jackson's honor this weekend. Hosted by filmmaker Spike Lee, "Brooklyn Loves Michael" is expected to draw tens of thousands of revelers to Prospect Park's Nethermead Meadow.
Last year's event included singing and dancing (and some tears) to Michael Jackson songs and videos projected onto a jumbotron screen. There was also a group singalong of "Happy Birthday" to the late superstar. Last summer, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz officially proclaimed August 29th "Michael Jackson Day" at the party.
Sunday would have been Michael Jackson's 52nd birthday.

Ways to make 'going green' fun for kids
Thursday, September 22, 2011 1:18 PM EDT
Thursday, September 22, 2011 1:20 PM EDT
The latest generations of kids are rapidly growing up in a modern world full of wonders and challenges that couldn't have been imagined in decades past. They're often referred to as "natives" in regard to technology - and to watch a young child maneuver their way around a smartphone or iPad, it's amazing just how intuitively children can operate technologies that mom and dad had to make an effort to learn. For kids today, learning to live sustainably from the start is as much a part of growing up as surfing the Internet, but by making it fun and easy to comprehend, parents can ensure that the lessons of today will last a lifetime.
The science and studies behind environmental conservation might be a bit too complex for children to understand, but the practical ways to make changes toward a "greener" lifestyle are easy enough that even the youngest family members can participate. Putting environmental awareness in child-friendly terms will encourage kids to participate.
A relatable character -- such as the animated Pocoyo, whose show airs on Nick Jr. and who was named the first Global Kids' Ambassador for the
World Wildlife Fund
's Earth Hour "Beyond the Hour" campaign -- can make it easier for kids to understand why protecting the environment is both fun and necessary. And by taking a creative approach to "green" household chores, you'll help your children form habits that benefits your own home and the world.
Try these helpful tips from Pocoyo to help your kids be eco-friendly from the start.
* Turn off the energy. Explain to kids that lights, televisions and computers use energy, which uses up precious natural resources and creates pollution. Make a game of turning off lights before bed: Whoever shuts off the most unnecessary lights is the winner. You can also make a special occasion out of saving energy: have an energy-free family night, using flashlights and fun activities like playing board games or storytelling.
* Make recycling fun. There are lots of ways to make recycling an activity your kids will look forward to. Try a short-distance toss game with non-breakable items, or simply make a game of sorting items the day before you set them out for collection. You can also reinforce the value of recycling by reusing materials for craft projects; try making masks out of cardboard from old boxes or paper planes from excess paper.
* Look for ways to cut waste. Disposable items like plastic water bottles and shopping bags take up a lot of space when you save them up, making it easy for a child to understand just how much room they might take up in a landfill. Instead of wasting all those bottles and bags, have your child help pick out reusable bottles and shopping bags for the whole family to re-use.
* Try new ways to travel around town. It's easy to rely on cars to get around, but they're the cause of a lot of pollution and use up natural resources as well. The fun of simply being together on a walk or a bike ride can make for an exciting alternative to the standard car ride. Or, if you need to go a longer distance, try taking public transportation - kids will love the opportunity to get on a big bus or a train that will deliver you to your destination.
* Take it to the table. The way we eat can have a big impact on the environment, so teaching kids to be thoughtful about where their food comes from is important. Try instituting a meatless meal one day a week and get kids involved in picking recipes and the cooking process. You can also have fun getting your hands dirty by planting a backyard garden, in which you can grow herbs, fruits and vegetables.
When kids get an early start on learning to be earth-friendly, it'll simply become a part of how they live. To learn more, visit
and watch Pocoyo on Nick Jr. on Saturdays and Sundays at 1 p.m. EST or 10 a.m. PST and visit
for more information.

One visiting economic pundit, when asked by his even less informed host how to buy gold, actually advised buying expensive jewelry for your wife or girlfriend as a good first step. He then commented that gold was difficult to oxidize, indicating some vague remembrance of the most basic and important characteristic of the element, but still short of any real understanding.
The Western world, and thereby much of the rest of the global economy, is teetering on the edge of massive failures by national banks, corporate finance and the governments now in power. Despite valiant efforts to bail out the failing economies of Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal by the European
Union and the Euro-dollar, the panic among the cognoscenti is spreading. They are selling currency to buy the precious metal in every form, from small coinage and ingots to refugee chain necklaces and bracelets. The Chinese government is unloading its American dollars and taking delivery of gold in pallet loads of heavy mint marked bars, and French café proprietors are burying untaxed earnings in the flowerbeds to hedge against total collapse of the whole game. The French are always so skeptical.
Back to basics! Gold is unique in the entire table of elements in that it does not react with oxygen. It neither tarnishes nor rusts. It does not corrode or burn. This makes it easily identifiable from any other material through a number of primitive and sophisticated tests. That means it can be used as currency without worry about counterfeiting — huge step forward in civilization and trade among tribes and nations. Gold coinage is accepted around the world, and should anyone doubt the legitimacy of a British sovereign or a twenty-dollar gold piece from America, it can be tested on site.
The old saying that something "rings true" refers to the tone of gold when a coin is dropped on a hard surface, such as a marble bar top in your favorite saloon. Subjecting gold to a flame until it glows before melting is also a test, as the metal takes on a shade of apricot unlike any other metal. Tribal chiefs, most of who can quote the day's world price,an accomplish this in the jungle.
The most sophisticated test is the famous "acid test," which can discriminate between the degrees of purity in karats, using several distinct acids to compare the sample with known standards in a simple needle kit.
For investment and currency use, gold is only worthy if it is pure .999 gold or 24 karat. Most coins and refugee chain are 22 karat due to the use of 18 karat solder in the links. Retail jewelry in America is almost exclusively 14 karat, or 56 percent pure and worthless as a medium of exchange. The mail-in gold sales scam often pays as little as a quarter of the value after fees and processing.
If you plan to buy gold, buy coins, including less than 1-ounce denominations, which are easier to use in daily affairs. Refugee chains are hard to find, but most cities have one or more Thai jewelry shops by appointment only, which sell these internationally recognized method of carrying
significant wealth on your person.
When the feces hits the fan, the golden rule applies: "He who has the gold, makes the rules!"
"Travus T. Hipp" is a 40-year veteran radio commentator with six stations in California carrying his daily version of the news and opinions. "The Poor Hippy's Paul Harvey," Travus is a member of the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame, but unemployable in the Silver State due to his eclectic political views.

There is a tendency among some executive readers to file certain subjects under the label of "soft skills." Quietly, however, these alleged soft skills drive everything from sales to customer relationships to brand identity. They also drive book sales, as Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul™ series can attest. After achieving sales of more than 125 million copies, one may wonder what else Canfield can offer readers. The answer comes in his team-up with executive mentor and coach Dr. Peter Chee. The pair wrote Coaching for Breakthrough Success to provide leaders with a repeatable set of principles to fire the three cylinders of coaching success: heart, mind and energy. This book is now available as a Soundview Executive Book Summary.
Canfield and Chee divide their work into three parts. The first part provides leaders with a set of 30 coaching principles. The principles cover a variety of aspects of the role and skillset of a coach, including bolstering your coaching spirit, establishing and maintaining relationships and trust, and using accountability to drive accomplishments. All of the principles are meant to build the solid foundation the authors refer to as "the heart of a coach."
The second part provides readers with the "mind" that accompanies the heart of a coach: the Situational Coaching Model. This section builds a critical level of flexibility that is absent from other "one-size-fits-all" methods of coaching. The authors describe six paradigms that can be applied to a variety of situations. The third part of the book focuses on the "energy" of a coach in the form of the Achievers Coaching Techniques. Readers should view the techniques as a self-assessment and roadmap to keep your coaching efforts on a steady, measurable path.
The sum total of Coaching for Breakthrough Success is a more focused method that executives can easily apply to business. Don't short sell soft skills. They may make the difference in your next step on your career path.
