Credit Union Adopt-A-Classroom Program is a Success for Financial Literacy
Mrs. Schneider's 5th grade class at Terry Redlin Elementary School in Sioux Falls, SD has been learning some valuable lessons thanks to a grant from Sioux Falls Federal Credit Union's (SD) Adopt-A-Classroom program. Seven $500 grants were awarded last fall to local teachers who created innovative financial literacy programs to incorporate into their regular curriculum. Throughout the year, Sioux Falls FCU's marketing department has stopped by to check in on how the projects are going, and received quite a treat on March 25th.
The program that Mrs. Schneider created for her class is quite impressive. Throughout the year her students have "earned" money by completing their weekly reading assignments, submitting work for extra credit, or by working for the Safety Patrol. Their earnings are then deposited into their checking accounts, which each student is responsible for balancing. Each month, rent is due, and a check must be made out to Mrs. Schneider, and then the students have the opportunity to go shopping in their classroom store. A special emphasis was put on wants versus needs, and how to find a balance between the two. Mrs. Schneider used the grant money to purchase goods such as backpacks, flavored bottled water, pencils, stickers, markers, candy, books and other fun items for the students to buy.
Not only have the students learned how to earn and budget money, but they learned the importance of helping others less fortunate. The students were offered the opportunity to donate some of their earnings to a local charity. Mrs. Schneider was so impressed with her student's generosity, that she matched their donations out of the grant money.
Gretchen Miller, Marketing Specialist for Sioux Falls Federal Credit Union, was impressed with the 5th grader's decision making skills. "It was quite amazing watching each student carefully balance their checkbook before shopping to ensure they had enough money for the purchase and for next month's rent," said Miller. "They are truly learning some important life lessons."
After the shopping was complete, Mrs. Schneider showed a video that her class made thanking the credit union. The video showed how the students earn money, how they balance their checkbooks, and interviews about what they have learned during the process. In an interview, one student learned a particularly hard lesson. She had not completed her reading assignments for a couple of weeks, and spent most of her money in the school store. When rent came due, she didn't have enough, and was evicted from her desk for a portion of the day. In the interview, the student said, "I learned that I have to plan for things before I buy them. That way I will have enough money for rent."
Mrs. Schneider feels that financial literacy is a skill that children need to learn early, "Some students, unfortunately, don't learn these skills from their parents, because their parents might not be financially responsible themselves, and are living paycheck to paycheck. I'm glad that I have the opportunity to help them learn these important lessons, and am thankful to the credit union for this generous grant."
Credit Union Supports Work-Based Learning Program
Fitchburg, Mass. – Shriver Job Corps has presented the Business Partner of the Year award to Workers' Credit Union for the second year in a row, recognizing its ongoing participation in their work-based learning program.
"Putting Workers' on their resumé makes a big difference as to whether the student is hired," said Lisa Crossman, career transition specialist for Devens-based Shriver Job Corps. "Because of the credit union's commitment to helping our young people, students gain valuable work experience that will help them tremendously in their careers."
Over the past five years, the credit union's information technology department has provided six-week internships to students. "We enjoy working with the students and appreciate the opportunity to give them workplace experience," said David Thibodeau, vice president, information technology, for Workers' Credit Union.
Job Corps is a free education and training program that helps young people learn a career, earn a high school diploma or GED, and find and keep a good job. For eligible youths, at least 16 years of age, Job Corps provides the all-around skills needed to succeed in a career and in life.
Credit Union Supports America's Credit Union Museum
MANCHESTER, NH – America's Credit Union Museum officially renamed its third floor conference room the Service Credit Union Conference Center at a special dedication ceremony held at the Museum on March 27. The 1,800 square foot conference room occupies much of the third floor of the Museum and serves as an important gathering place for regional and national industry meetings, credit union planning sessions, and community programs such as the Museum's middle school and high school CU4Reality financial literacy fairs.
America's Credit Union Museum is a national landmark located in the building that housed the first credit union in the United States. The Museum exhibits chronicle the history of credit unions from their inception in New Hampshire, their expansion and growth throughout the last century, and their importance to over 96 million members today.
Service Credit Union has been a staunch supporter and one of the founding underwriters of the Museum with Service CU President and CEO Gordon Simmons serving as Chairman of the Museum Board of Directors from 2001 until 2012.
"Service Credit Union has been an passionate, devoted and effective supporter of the America' Credit Union Museum, the site of the first credit union in America in 1908," says Gordon Simmons, President/CEO of Service Credit Union. "This building, the first credit union in the United States, is an historical legacy that belongs to all credit unions and their members in our nation. It represents our roots, values and aspirations. It was, therefore, an honor for the Service Credit Union Board to generously support the Foundation to ensure that our legacy – yours, mine and ours – remains intact now and for future generations."

Credit Union Donates $2,000 to Sponsor School's Softball Tournament
Collinsville, Illinois – Scott Credit Union recently presented a check for $2,000 to a representative from Triad High School to continue as the presenting sponsor of the school's softball invitational tournament over the next two years.
Scott Credit Union Community Relations Representative Lauren Hoefert presented the $2,000 check to Triad softball coach Kris Kleeman.
The Annual Triad High School Invitational sponsored by Scott Credit Union will be held at the school on May 3-4.
"This is another opportunity for us to support a local school and help them to host the annual softball tournament," Hoefert said. "Having a location in Troy, we feel that it is important that we do what we can to help in the community. We also are happy to have another venue to let people know that the credit union is a better value."
Scott Credit Union has made giving back to its communities a major priority. The local credit union contributed over $275,000 and its employees volunteered over 2,300 hours to a variety of local civic efforts throughout the region in 2012.
"We realize that without our members and the communities in which we serve, we would not exist as a financial alternative," Hoefert noted. "Supporting our communities is very important to us." The credit union has increased its community involvement in the past few years while also increasing its efforts to educate consumers of the value of doing their financial business with a not-for-profit credit union.
"We want people in the area to know more about the value of doing business with a credit union," she added. "That is why we have focused our time on educating area residents about Scott Credit Union. One of the big ways we've done that is through our community involvement."
Credit Union Helps Teens "Take a Bite of Reality".
More than 40 teens from the Long Beach area recently took a "Bite of Reality" and learned the basics of finances at St. Mary's Hospital in Long Beach, thanks to the Long Beach branch of Orange County's Credit Union in partnership with the Richard Myles Johnson Foundation—the state foundation supporting financial education efforts of credit unions in California and Nevada—and St. Mary's group, EM3.
The youth participated in Bite of Reality, a hands-on simulation program offered by the RMJ Foundation, together with the California and Nevada Youth Involvement Network, which supports quality financial education for young people in the two states.
At the March 19 event, the teens were given a fictional occupation, salary, spouse and family, student loan debt, credit card debt, and medical insurance payments. The teens then visited various table-top stations to "purchase" housing, transportation, food, clothing, household necessities, day care, and other needs. In addition, there was a "credit union" to help with financial needs. They also faced some unexpected expenses and windfalls.
The teens who participated in the program enjoyed it, saying they learned to be more wise in their finances by focusing on purchasing things they needed first before spending money on things they wanted. They also commented on how much they appreciate what their parents go through in handling money issues.
"It was great that we had more than 40 teens attend the workshop and 10 Long Beach-based organizations pulling together to assist in providing an event that helps to promote financial stability in our community in a fun and interactive way," said Azul Sanchez, Orange County's Credit Union Long Beach branch manager.
"The 'Bite of Reality' program gives teens a hands-on opportunity to experience making financial decisions and a better understanding of the challenges of living on a budget," said Tena Lozano, executive director of the RMJ Foundation.

8/15/2011 -"I have used this company for several years and are always amazed about the high quality ornaments I have ordered for my extended family. The orders are always received very, very quickly. Sandra C."
12/10/2008 -"Dear Diane: I received my order today and it's perfect. In fact it brought tears to my eyes. I have 2 grandsons and each Christmas I buy a kit for each of them to make a gingerbread house. Of course when they were very young my daughter and I did most of the work and they ate the candy and cookies, that was to go on the house, but every time the house was a work of art. (Of course only in my eyes and my daughter's eyes). As the years went by, the houses got better and better, but as the years have passed and they have gotten older, I realized that they were doing it for me out of love. The oldest one is 16 and the other is 13. I decided last year that 2008 would be the last year that we did the Gingerbread houses and the boys were as happy as could be when I told them that.. However, I wanted something that would remind them of the fun times we had making the houses. After searching through many websites that carry Christmas Ornaments, I came upon your website and I found what my heart was searching for. Thank you so much for having such beautiful Christmas ornaments and for having the perfect one for me to give to each of the boys this year for Christmas. I hope that they will carry it with them through life and that each Christmas it will remind them of the fun times we had. Anita S. "
7/21/2007 -"You have been extremely responsive in comparison to other online companies I have ordered from this year! I appreciate your prompt attention.Carla S."

Dennis S. Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs of The Mount Sinai Health System, challenged the graduates to be at the forefront of health care's changing landscape.

Over the course of their academic careers, students in the class of 2013 have published in the best scientific journals; led initiatives providing badly needed medical care to underserved communities locally and throughout the world; and demonstrated heroism in caring for residents of the neighborhoods most devastated by Superstorm Sandy. We anticipate nothing short of greatness from them as they bring their rigorous training to the fields of science and medicine.
The class of 2013 joins a distinguished network of alumni known the world over for their integrity, discovery, altruism, clinical excellence, and a commitment to social justice. Our graduates will continue their education at some of the most competitive residency programs, including Massachusetts General Hospital; Yale-New Haven Hospital; Johns Hopkins University Hospital; Duke University Medical Center; Vanderbilt University; University of California, San Francisco Medical Center; and Stanford University.

3D Animation in VB.NET Using WPF - Part 1
Richard Newcombe takes a look at the basic building blocks of a 3D world. While 2D animation was done by hard coding all of the graphics, 3D animation is much easier, using the WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) graphical subsystem to handle the actual image rendering.

Key Provisions of the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act includes a variety of measures specifically for small businesses that help lower premium cost growth and increase access to quality, affordable health insurance. Depending on whether you are self-employed, an employer with fewer than 25 employees, an employer with fewer than 50 employees, or an employer with 50 or more employees, different provisions of the Affordable Care Act may apply to you. Learn about the key provisions of the Affordable Care Act based on the size of your business below.

The Health Insurance Marketplace in Your State
The Marketplace is a new way to find quality health coverage. It can help self-employed individuals and small business owners if you don't have coverage now or if you have it but want to look at other options. States have the option of running their own Marketplace, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to partially run the Marketplace, or opting for a Marketplace run by HHS.
Insurance plans in the Marketplace are offered by private companies. They all cover the same essential health benefits. No plan can turn you away or charge you more because you have an illness or medical condition. They must cover treatments for these conditions. Plans also can't charge women more than men for the same plan, and many preventive services are covered at no cost to you.
Enrollment in the small employer Marketplace, known as "SHOP", is year-round. Learn more about the SHOP Marketplace in your state by visiting Healthcare.gov. If you're self-employed and looking for coverage, the 2014 open enrollment is closed. You can now get Marketplace coverage only if you qualify for a special enrollment period or are applying for Medicaid and CHIP. If you think you qualify, choose your state to get started.

Installed a new ceiling tonite in my sons bedroom. It is controlled by switch , 1 for fan & 1 for light. This bedroom is on its own circuit with adjoing bedroom (panel says bedroom 1-2 on this breaker). I wired black to black , white to white , red to blue , bare to green. Turned breaker back on and fan/light worked as it should. Well about an hour later went into master bedroom (it to is on its own circuit) and no lights. Went to panel and breaker was tripped . Flippd it back on and about 2 hours later it tripped again. So kinda puzzled as to why the master bedroom is tripping but not bedroom #1 where the fan was just installed. Its a newer home built in 09 , there was not a light or fan fixture installed previously in bedroom #1. The circuit breaker in panel is one that has a test button and three different postions (I think middle postion was ground fault) . I've just moved into home a few weeks ago and haven't had a problem with tripping breaker until tonite so any advice is appreciated. Thank you
First, I just want to confirm that when the circuit breaker for the master bedroom trips that it also kills power to the fan. If so, then:
Electric motors and GFCI breakers do not like each other. While not always the case, I've seen many GFCI circuits that are so sensitive that adding in a motor (ceiling fan, bath vent fan etc) will cause the GFCI to trip. The bad news is that it's not always an easy fix - you have to isolate the fan from the GFCI circuit. That means finding another circuit as a power source for the ceiling fan.
No it doesn't kill power to the fan I installed because that fan is on a seperate circuit. The master bedroom circuit is the one that is tripping. I do have a ceiling fan in master bedroom and it was on when circuit kept tripping, but it never did this before I installed new ceiling fan in bedroom 1 .
there is such a thing as a common neutral between two hots on different phases of the 240v home service, it's called an Edison circuit. it's more common than a lot of folks realize.
and if the fan is on the black wire side using phase 1, and the bedroom is on the red wire side or phase 2, you have an inductive "lead" of current phase on the neutral.
this looks to a GFI like current from who-knows-where, but it sure as heck didn't come from THIS black lead. so... SNAP.
I learned the hard way wiring the hot tub that this doesn't work, and then figured out why. it's not necessarily public knowledge that excessive capacitance across a circuit (like wire insulation, for instance) lags the waveform, thus the current, of a circuit. inductance leads the waveform, or shifts it right if you are looking on a scope. but it's transmission line calculus (phase angle is the usual term) and the reason telephone companies put load coils on their wires every 6000 feet. the reason power companies put big banks of capacitors under 3600 volt lines when inductive loads change the power factor and heat the lines.
a GFI has a chip that compares current in the black to current in the white, and if there is a 5 mA difference, it thinks there is leakage to a false ground, and trips in case that leakage is going through a body.
in your case, the fans have to be run on something other than a GFI circuit. this is why I can't stand GFI breakers (freaking dictators!), which will get false trips sooner or later, and put GFI outlets where needed, one by one. I can control and isolate faults to the spot where they occur, rather than "way out there someplace, gimme another beer, I've had enough of this."This message has been edited.

sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Ok so I should confirm how master bedroom fan is wired and wire fan in bedroom 1 the same way ? Or replace gfi breaker ?
I would identify the outlets on the GFI breaker that need protection, and get the corresponding number of GFI outlets to replace the standards. then I would replace the GFI breaker with a standard one. as soon as I know the breaker works, I would shut it off and replace those outlets that need GFI protection before turning on that breaker again.
anything really stupid like a hot tub motor or heater, or a garbage disposer, that requires a GFI and is usually installed with one of those breakers is supposed to be on its own circuit anyway. so unless there have been, ahhhh, incorrect device additions, this should only affect a number of low-watt usages.
now, if you have an arc-fault breaker, you have another situation. neither arc-fault, which has no at-usage equivalent, or GFI breakers are going to please anybody on an Edison circuit.
I assume you know that DANGER, WARNING, FATTENING, ETC. raw power runs wild inside entrance panels, and unless you know exactly what you are doing and where you must not go, opening a panel is best left to a professional electrician. some communities require a permit.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Please explain this Edison circuit that you speak of. Something that I am not sure of or seen in place, that I can tell. And why it would bare in the case. {I hunger for knowledge.} Is not this every single phase 240v residential service in America? I know of no other.
Plus it is common to split legs on 240v circuits, very hard not to considering the breaker that is needed in this application. As this set up will safely split a heavy current draw between those two hot legs. And this feature is paramount in safe electrical theory.This message has been edited.

Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
I agree with what is posted 100%. One wonders aloud why a bedroom is on a GFCI breaker to begin with. But we all know the world of previous electrical work having no rhyme or reason. I too think "leakage" is the culprit. And running to the load center every false trip for a reset breaker is a royal pain. {Newer breakers and outlets have much cleaner specs resulting in fewer false trips.}
I too would search for another circuit in the load center to place the fixture on. Or replace the breaker. According to the NEC since you are performing an upgrade this circuit has to be a AFCI breaker protected. But that is truly splitting hairs here. And it may be a debatable point mainly because of the amount of new work performed. {Very little.} I personally would fly with a standard breaker unless an inspector would insist on the more expensive AFCI breaker.
Assuming of course you have the skill and ability to do your own electrical work. Be careful and good luck.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
after a little further inspection of panel the breakers installed on both bedroom circuits are afci breakers.
So your fan may be arcing and creating a false trip. I really see that in remodel work if your install an AFCI breaker and the the finish carpenter wants to trim out a room. Problems abound. But I have never be to a job to witness a fan/light trip a breaker.
Is the fan/light or the AFCI breaker the culprit? Good question. Or is one of the outlets on the circuit the culprit? Leakage across old outlets will also cause a AFCI to false trip as well. Just a guess on that one, but has been known to be a cause. Google AFCI trouble shooting and you will find that reply.
Got to do some serious head scratchin on this one, back later with a reply. As their should be no reason why a circuit unrelated to your fixture install is affected. That makes me wonder aloud.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
I have had both fans and lights on and running for about 6 hours tonite with no issues , so I dont know either.
I also think that if a problem does pop up recheck the connections made in the the fan/light. As the stranded and solid wires may not have been the best connection possible. But boy oh boy is that a reach, welcome to the world of trouble shooting. A poorly made up connection could arc and result in a breaker trip. This could be the reason mainly because things did work correctly before the fan/light install. But you never know.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,

Like all agencies, the Department of Natural Resources exists because the citizens have identified a need for the work we do. Marylanders recognize that the health of our society and economy is dependent on the health of our environment. The Department of Natural Resources leads Maryland in securing a sustainable future for our environment, society, and economy by preserving, protecting, restoring, and enhancing the State's natural resources.
Fisheries Service works in the DNR to meet those goals by:
- Developing a management framework for the conservation and equitable use of fishery resources
- Managing fisheries in balance with the ecosystem for present and future generations
- Monitoring and assessing the status and trends of fisheries resources
- Providing access to high quality, diverse, accessible fishing opportunities
In the Coastal Fisheries Program, we address the goals of Fisheries Service through conducting surveys, working with our management partners, and working within our own agency to meet the needs of Maryland's citizens.
The majority of our work is related to the Coastal Bays Fisheries Investigation. In 1972, biologists started a fisheries monitoring program in Maryland's Coastal Bays. Since then, over 130 species of fishes, 26 mollusks, and 11 macroalgae have been collected. The survey design is intended to meet three objectives:
- Characterize the stocks and estimate relative abundance of juvenile and adult marine and estuarine species in the Coastal Bays and near-shore Atlantic Ocean.
- Develop annual indices of relative abundance, age and length frequencies, and other needed information necessary to assist in the management of regional and coastal fish stocks.
- Delineate and monitor areas of high value as spawning, nursery, and/or forage location for finfish in order to protect against habitat loss or degradation.
Outside of the formal mission statements and objectives, each of us does this job for more personal reasons. Working for Fisheries Service on Maryland's Coast is something each of us does because we have a passion for the outdoors, fishing, natural resource conservation, science, preserving the seafood industry, Maryland's Coastal Bays. Our positions are rewarding, if sometimes difficult.

7:44 PM EST, February 5, 2013
The most painful part of the Super Bowl — apart from the interminable butchering of the national anthem by Alicia Keys — was the introduction of the new inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The Lehigh Valley's Andre Reed was not there, for the seventh straight year.
As I watched Warren Sapp (known as much for "Dancing With the Stars" as for football feats) and four other modern era players get introduced, I wondered how many had starred in four successive Super Bowls.
My wife and I are not big football fans and we rooted for San Francisco only because we love that city a little more than we love Baltimore, so the outcome did not hurt as much as when a team from a place like (swallow hard before typing the next word) Dallas has won it.
Reed went to Allentown's Dieruff High School and then to Kutztown University before he made his mark as a receiver for the Buffalo Bills, New York State's only National Football League team. (Some of us Buffalo natives like to refer to the New Jersey Giants and the New Jersey Jets.)
Speaking of painful moments, Reed played for the Bills when they went all the way to the Super Bowl in 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994, losing every time, the last two times to the (yipes) Dallas Cowboys.
I had the honor of spending a little time with his parents, Joyce and Calvin Reed, at their Allentown home in 1991. (Calvin died in 1996.) That was in connection with some work the family was doing with charities to help disadvantaged children. (These are classy people and the Lehigh Valley should be honored to claim them, hall of fame or no hall of fame.)
Where was I? Oh, yes, Sunday's big game.
Once we got past Keys' torturous vibrato diversions with "The Star-Spangled Banner" for a full two minutes and 36.4 seconds (a ghastly new record for the Super Bowl that made us wish for a Roseanne Barr comeback), they finally had a kickoff.
I'll skip the game details except to admit that my wife dozed off at one point (you can't really blame her; she's more accustomed to the faster action of ice hockey) and to note the fascinating delay that occurred when the lights went out in Nawlins.
They would not have that problem if they'd take my advice and play the Super Bowl in the daytime at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of the Buffalo Bills.
Much of the hype leading up to the Super Bowl concerned commercials, such as the near-frenzy over what was supposed to be a racy Mercedes-Benz commercial featuring Kate Upton in a car-washing scene.
I was one of a gazillion people who found that commercial on the Internet and it featured Upton blowing soap foam from her hand and wiggling her Guernsey-proportioned bosom as some guys washed a car.
It was never aired during the game, but I saw a genuinely racy car-washing scene the very next evening, when one of the movie channels ran "Cool Hand Luke," featuring the similarly-proportion actress Joy Harmon using her body and a wet dress to wash a 1941 DeSoto. If you ever saw that 1967 movie, it makes you wonder how anyone could get excited over the Kate Upton thing.
My favorite Super Bowl commercial was another for Mercedes, featuring a nerdy-looking guy at a table in a tavern, where he can see a Mercedes billboard across the street and is joined by the devil.
"Make a deal with me kid, and you can have the car and everything that goes along with it," says the devil, played by Willem Defoe. There are images of the nerd attracting dozens of love-starved women, including Upton, just because he drives that car. He turns down the deal when he learns he can have it for a piddling $29,900 without selling his soul, causing Defoe to disappear in a puff of smoke.
I liked that commercial because I once spent time with Defoe during a party at the Toronto Film Festival. Terrific guy.
Other commercials were dumber than dumb, notwithstanding a rate of nearly $4 million for a 30-second spot, and you wonder what sort of people could be persuaded to buy a product because of such trash. (They will buy Volkswagens because an Anglo guy talks with a silly Jamaican accent? Another commercial, for a chain of sandwich joints, was entirely devoted to people mispronouncing "February.")
One of the good commercials featured The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), who, like Reed, is also a former Lehigh Valley athlete (Freedom High School) and who dodges various disasters to get his milk.
Other Super Bowl highlights included one player who repeatedly crossed himself (God is going to focus on field goals instead of famines, natural disasters, miracles, etc.) and the presentation (only in my imagination, actually) of the Mike Tyson Ugliest Super Bowl Tattoos trophy to San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
After the Super Bowl, I checked in with Joyce Reed-Ebling (she's now remarried), who said Andre now lives in San Diego (my other home town) and has two teenage children. "I was more upset than he was, she said, referring to his being passed over for the seventh time. She quoted him as telling her this about his family:
"There are things that mean more to me than the hall of fame."
Some people have class and some (Warren Sapp comes to mind) don't.

Barack Obama has edged ahead of Mitt Romney in the final days of the presidential campaign. In the Pew Research Center's election weekend survey, Obama holds a 48% to 45% lead over Romney among likely voters.
The survey finds that Obama maintains his modest lead when the probable decisions of undecided voters are taken into account. Our final estimate of the national popular vote is Obama 50% and Romney 47%, when the undecided vote is allocated between the two candidates based on several indicators and opinions.
A week ago the race was deadlocked, with each candidate drawing support from 47% of the likely electorate. Interviewing for the final pre-election survey was conducted Oct. 31- Nov. 3 among 2,709 likely voters. The previous survey was conducted Oct. 24-28, before Hurricane Sandy made landfall along the East Coast.

Movies are just better on the big screen. That's if the person next to you isn't checking their smartphone every 5 minutes (they better be a brain
surgeon waiting for a call to the ER). For some reason they don't think lighting up a dark room disturbs anyone around them. Seriously? How did
people make it through a 90-minute movie before mobile phones? Must have been a tougher breed of cat in the old days. They were willing to be
off-line to actually munch some overly priced popcorn and focus on a film. That's why the theater can beat the comfort of the living room. It has your
total attention. No clothes to fold. No remote to flip. No multi-tasking to accomplish. These days, that's pretty incredible.
With the Movies 10 theater in Baxter slated for a much-needed overhaul to bring in the latest technology in how movies are shown and viewed (bring on
the stadium seating already) this might be a good time to consider what films are most anticipated for 2012.
Time.com recently released a list of the top 20 movies to see this year. I suspected one at or near the top of the list would be "The Hunger Games"
(out on March 23) just based on the popularity of the book. It was. Who says people don't read anymore? I thought J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter put an
end to that notion.
So what's on the short must-see list? Feel free to add your own list. I've got a lot on mine: "The Hobbit," to be released this year, "Moonrise
Kingdom" on May 25, "Prometheus" on June 8, "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20 and, yes, "Battleship" on May 18. (As a disclaimer, I should say
"Battleship" made Time.com's do not see list.) But c'mon, aliens, uniforms, action. Enough said. Time's do not see list was clogged with sequels and
part threes. They also didn't like "Big Miracle" but people cutting out holes in the ice to save trapped whales. Nothing wrong with that. And, OK,
maybe "The Vow" in February. I know. I know. But the trailer looks good. How about — "Red Tails" or "Man on a Ledge."
Time.com's list of movies to see included "Haywire" and "The Innkeepers," "The Deep Blue Sea," "Looper," "The Amazing Spider-Man" and a Ben
Affleck-directed "Argo" based on a rescue attempt of six Americans in 1979 Iran just before the U.S. Embassy is taken over, "Gravity" with Sandra
Bullock and George Clooney and Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" and Leo DeCaprio in "The Great Gatsby," "War Horse," while out in 2011, is worth seeing in
2012 along with "The Artist."
Check out the iTunes Movie Trailers app. Play the trailers on your smartphone. Just not while you are sitting in the movie!

Colloquium with Professor Jerold A. Edmondson, Department of Linguistics and TESOL, University of Texas at Arlington
Friday, April 13, 200712:00 PM - 2:00 PM243 Royce HallUCLA CampusLos Angeles, CA 90095
This paper examines how new information about the migratory pathway of homo sapiens out-of-Africa and archeology in the period 50-10,000 years before the present can inform us about the history and pre-history of the languages of SE Asia and S. China. It will focus especially on the Tai, Miao-Yao, and Tibeto-Burman languages and to a lesser extent on the Mon-Khmer stocks of this linguistic area.
Much recent information from Y chromosomal DNA haplotypes suggests that (S)E Asia was settled by people and groups coming from India about 40,000 years ago who entered from Myanmar into the SW part of China and divided into three groups: (1) a northern strain moving up to the head waters of the Yellow River and dividing there into the Tibeto-Burman people, who remained there, and those who moved down river and become the Huaxia (ethnic Han Chinese), (2) those people groups who stopped further south and then moved down the Yangzi River toward Shanghai and became the Miao-Yao people groups, and (3) those who first looped south in Laos and then moved northeast into Vietnam settling along the S and SE coastal areas of China up to Shanghai--the Baiyue precurors of the Tai and some of the Taiwan aboriginals.
Much of this new information squares well with the accounts of Chinese historians and archeological finds about peoples and groups of S. China and SE Asia. It also partly supports Paul Benedict's Austro-Tai Hypothesis that connects Tai, possibly also Miao-Yao with Austronesian languages. There is also one piece of very early linguistic evidence recorded in Chinese characters, The Yue-Ren Ge 'Song of the Yue Boatman, of 528 BC, that appears to represent a Tai language and would be the very earliest data on this group.
Jerold A. Edmondson is Professor of Linguistics and Member of the Academy of Distinguished Scholars, Department of Linguistics and TESOL, University of Texas at Arlington. He received his Ph.D. from UCLA. He was a Visiting Professor of Linguistics at Mahidol University, Thailand in 2004 and 2005, and a Visiting Fellow in Thai Studies at the Australian National University in 2001. Publications (sometimes with others) include: "A phonetic study of the Sui consonants and tones," "Tones and Voice Quality in Modern Northern Vietnamese: Instrumental Case Studies," and the Kam-Chinese-Thai-English Dictionary. He also served as Editor for Vietnamese vocabulary in English for the New Oxford English Dictionary.

I'm not sure if this has been posted so if so, can you give me the link to this one.
So right now my iphone 3G is at 2.1 and the winpwn 2.5 beta doesn't seem to have 2.1 in there. So does that mean i can't use winpwn to jailbreak my iphone 3G? Do i have to use quickpwn? i would prefer winpwn.
The reason is because today i received my sim adapor (i-smartphone sim adaptor), yes it's the original black. And i have received the instructions as well. I know i can use this sim adaptor without having to jail break it but the only thing I can't do is to sync it with itunes (that is if i have the sim adaptor in there). If i don't have the sim adaptor and going back to At&t it will work. But I just want to know if jailbreaking is required. Which I don't think it is required for the sim unlock to work cuz i know that you can still sim unlock the iphone 3G without jailbreaking.
Plus i'm kinda afraid of jailbreaking it becuase of my past experience of trying to downgrade a PSP and ended up bricking it.
So any answers or help or tips would be great. thanks.

The term translocation is used when the location of specific chromosome material changes. There are two main types of translocations: reciprocal and Robertsonian. In a reciprocal translocation, two different chromosomes have exchanged segments with each other:
In a Robertsonian translocation, an entire chromosome attaches to another at the centromere. The centromere is the center part of a chromosome that appears "pinched" between the p and q arms:
This newly formed chromosome is called the translocation chromosome. The translocation in this example is between chromosomes #14 and 21. When a baby is born with this type of translocation chromosome (between #14 and 21), in addition to one normal 14 and two normal 21 chromosomes, the baby will have Down syndrome. This is also called translocation Down syndrome.

You may be surprised to learn that experts at the National Institutes of Health's
Lactose Intolerance and Health Consensus Development Conference report that in
most cases, lactose-intolerant individuals
can incorporate
some dairy into their diets.
The independent panel of broad-based, multidisciplinary, lactose-intolerance experts noted that lactose-intolerant individuals who avoid dairy foods altogether don't get enough calcium and vitamin D, which may increase their risk of osteoporosis, decreased bone accrual, and other health problems.
This led panelists to recommend the development of evidence-based dietary approaches (and supplementation strategies) that both
include and exclude dairy foods, and corresponding educational campaigns to inform healthcare providers, patients and the general public about this and other developments in the field.
For a look at all of the conclusions from the February 2010 conference on the current state of knowledge about lactose intolerance, visit
Milk Matters publications and materials are a part of WE CAN! (Ways to Enhance Children's Activity and Nutrition), a national program designed as a one-stop resource for parents and caregivers interested in practical tools to help children 8-to-13-years-old stay at a healthy weight. Tips and fun activities focus on three critical behaviors: improved food choices, increased physical activity, and reduced screen time.
