Cool toons: Creating interesting content for children is not rocket science
Linda Simensky leads an eyebrow-raising double life.
There's Linda the sophisticate — an Ivy League grad, killer sitar player, successful executive and mother of two young children.
But away from the public spotlight, Linda still channels her inner 6-year-old — a persona with a hardy appetite for watching cartoons and a prized toy collection that's strictly off-limits for her kids.
"I never went through that phase that everyone else did where you start thinking like an adult," said Simensky, vice president of children's programming for PBS. "Basically I just stayed in kid mode and became the adult I wanted to become when I was 6.
"I have discussions with my kids (ages 6 and 11) where they say things like, 'How come you have so many toys, and why won't you let us play with them?' Well, they're in boxes because I worked on these shows and I like the way they look in the packaging!"
Since joining PBS in 2003, Simensky has been making sure that the PBS Kids lineup lives at the intersection of entertaining and educational. If you've ever turned on the television and sat your kids down to watch a PBS Kids program like "Curious George," "Super Why," "Dinosaur Train" or "Sid the Science Kid," you probably owe a debt of thanks to the "double life" of Simensky, because her fingerprints are all over those shows.
With more than 25 years of experience working in the children's entertainment industry — her résumé also includes stints at Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network — Simensky is uniquely qualified to identify which shows will resonate with young viewers. And as the mother of two elementary school-age children, she's also a concerned parent who can appreciate the synergy inherent in educational television programs.
Folks like Simensky — razor-sharp professionals who never learned to forget how a child views the world — fuel PBS Kids to be a leader in innovative children's entertainment. In 2011, for example, PBS Kids nabbed an industry-best 12 Daytime Emmy Awards. The last time another network won more Daytime Emmys for children's programming than PBS was 1997.
Concocting a show kids will want to watch isn't rocket science; Simensky believes it always comes down to compelling characters and interesting stories.
"The things that all great shows have are great characters and great stories," she said. "Even in the pitch phase, what really attracts us in the (PBS Kids) programming department to a show is hearing a great idea, really falling in love with the characters and wanting to know more about what happens to them. It works the same way for us as it does for viewers."
According to Simensky, a PBS Kids show typically requires three years of development before it ever sees the light of day — about a year of which goes toward developing cross-platform interactive and educational elements to complement the show. In fact, the development phase process can actually stretch as long as five years, which was the case with "Wild Kratts," a show that teaches kids about wild animals through a unique combination of animation and live action.
Simensky views her job as more gatekeeper than micromanager. She identifies quality content early on and nurtures it through to maturity. By the time a show is actually on your television, though, ideally the production process will have evolved to a point where PBS maintains an oversight role but generally defers to its content partners — people like Dr. Scott D. Sampson.
As a world-class paleontologist, university professor and research curator at the Utah Museum of Natural History on the University of Utah campus, Sampson never intended to work extensively in TV. Even when the Jim Henson Company called to float the idea for a show called "Dinosaur Train," Sampson was dubious.
"My initial reaction when I heard about a show called 'Dinosaur Train' was that it was an unmitigated disaster," he recalls. "Mixing dinosaurs and trains seemed like a really bad idea when scientists are always trying to demonstrate that humans and dinosaurs didn't live at the same time. Putting dinosaurs on a train seemed odd."

Hi: 7° Lo:2°
CAR parking costs could be brought in or increased at sites across the borough.
Solihull Council is due to discuss the future of parking in the borough at a meeting today (Thursday) as it plans how to save £499,500 from the parking services budget during the next three years.
Four areas have been identified in the proposal including Knowle Village Centre where there are currently 313 spaces in free off-street car parks with restrictions of up to two or four hours in place.
But under council plans people could have to pay either 40p, 50p or 60p an hour to park although up to three hours parking would be free.
The proposal is the same for Shirley's off-street parking Monday to Friday 8am until 6pm.
There are also currently 190 on-street parking spaces in Shirley which are restricted to one hour, but this could be extended to two hours at a cost of 40p or 50p per hour with the first hour free.
Also under review are the car parks at Brueton and Malvern Parks and Solihull Council House.
The council said it wants to prevent all day parking at the parks by people who are avoiding paying in the town centre.
As a result the proposal is to provide up to two hours of free parking with charges brought in after that equal to or higher than town centre prices to free up space for park users.
And a recommendation for the car park at Solihull Council House is to extend the costs currently in place at weekends to include weekday evenings.
The council report said: "The service has limited resources and it is therefore not considered practical to develop management plans for all of the individual areas of Solihull at the same time.
"The review has identified that Shirley, Knowle, Brueton and Malvern Park and the facility around the Council House offer the greatest potential to deliver the required improvements for both the local economy and the council."
The next stage of the process will see the proposals discussed with ward councillors and traders.

Recognizing And Treating Lower Extremity Gout
Key Pearls On Intercritical And Chronic Gout Therapy
For the purpose of comprehensiveness, one can conceivably use IL-1 antagonist/inhibitors. These include anakinra, canakinumab and rilonacept.16-18 For intercritical and chronic gout, it is critical to prevent further crystal accumulation and recurrent gouty flare-up episodes.
Therapy should begin immediately after the acute attack. Many suggest giving patients the option of initiating the next course of therapy because if they do not, they may risk another episode of an acute flare-up. As mentioned previously, one should redo lab work two to four weeks after the acute episode.
It is generally accepted that in patients with tophi or with two or more attacks in one year, one should initiate therapy for chronic gout. The key in the urate lowering therapy is the reduction and maintenance of a serum uric acid level of less than 6.0 mg/dL. At this level, there is a decreased number of flares, less uric crystal accumulation in joints and dissolved tophi.
Two classes of drugs for long-term therapy/maintenance of the reduction of serum uric acid include xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosurics. Allopurinol (Zyloprim) is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor and is most commonly used to reduce hyperuricemia regardless of its etiology. The dosing of allopurinol is individually based. Typically, the initial dose of allopurinol is 100 mg but again, depending on the severity, 100 mg 1 to 3 tabs p.o. can be a starting dose. Hypersensitivity syndrome and refractoriness to the drug (2 percent of patients on allopurinol have hypersensitivity syndrome or refractoriness) could create an erythematous rash, hepatitis, eosinophilia, fever, declining renal function or even fatality.19
Febuxostat (Uloric, Takeda) has been approved as a non-purine selective inhibitor of both oxidized and reduced forms of xanthine oxidase.20,21 Febuxostat has not been recommended for the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Liver enzymes may elevate the use of this drug. Clinical trials have shown a higher rate of cardiovascular thromboembolic events with febuxostat in comparison to patients tested with allopurinol. Low-dose NSAIDs and colchicines can be used as prophylaxis with the concomitant use of a urate lowering agent until the serum uric acid level is stable at less than 6.0 mg/dL.21
Seven clinical trials showed that febuxostat 40 mg/dL was inferior to allopurinol 300 mg/dL in lowering the serum level to less than 6.0 mg/dL.21 The febuxostat dosage of 80 mg/dL was superior when researchers tested it against allopurinol. Although febuxostat 40 mg/dL and 80 mg/dL were well tolerated, liver enzyme elevations, nausea, arthralgias and rash may occur. Multiple studies show that febuxostat 80 mg/dL has more effectively lowered and maintained serum uric acid levels to a level less than 6.0 mg/dL, typically within two to four weeks, in comparison to allopurinol 300 mg/dL.20
If patients do not tolerate xanthine oxidase inhibitors, then probenecid can be the first drug of choice. Concurrent use of aspirin will block the effect of probenecid. The use of probenecid can block the excretion of penicillin, increase the serum concentration of generic furosemide and may extend heparin metabolism.
Once the patient has become asymptomatic and the intercritical phase has begun, the use of chronic therapy and follow-up visits are important especially in the very beginning following the acute phase. Until a second acute episode occurs, many patients do not want to modify their lifestyle even after receiving education about the joint destruction effects of gout. The effects of gout are even more critically important because of the greater occurrence of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, obesity and stress in America.

@JackWhack – I love cowrie shells in necklaces! I also love them in bracelets and earrings, and I have all of these in my jewelry collection.
Cowrie shells are so small that they work well for jewelry, but they are tough enough to handle wear. That's why my cowrie shell jewelry has lasted much longer than my other cheap costume jewelry. These necklaces and bracelets are pretty cheap, but the shells won't break.
I even have a cowrie shell headband. I deck myself out in these shells when I go on vacation. People can tell I'm a tourist, I'm sure!

Hi folks, I was able to update my Droid Razr Maxx yesterday morning and I love it. I used to be able to go to the text screen and press menu, select all and then delete all texts and conversations to different people. Now that I have ICS, I press menu and I either can select messaging settings or to online album. What am I missing? I don't want to have to go to each text, select it and then delete as that's a waste of time. I've googled my question and can't find any answer to this problem I'm having. Can anyone help? Thanks!:biggrin:
Hi! Instead of selecting all, you just long press any of the conversations you want to delete, the start clicking the others you would like to delete to. Somewhat like a check list. Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using Droid Forums
Actually, once you select one, then tap at the top of the screen where it says "1 selected", and a menu will pop up asking "Select all", or "Unselect all". The trash can at the right is the delete. :biggrin:
Thank you so very much. I knew there had to be an easy way to do it but I couldn't figure it out. Thanks again! dancedroid

There's no glitz, no glamour, just impeccably fresh seafood exactingly prepared and presented in all of its simple, fresh, honest glory. Frito misto is pure excellence -- fish, shrimp, and calamari given the lightest of coatings and crispest of fryings. Though the regular menu offers several worthy choices, the best and most interesting dishes are the daily specials, whether fresh heads-on shrimp with mango-pineapple salsa, two sizable swordfish steaks with pungent sun-dried tomato-olive-caper relish, or linguine with local lobster. Tiramisu might be ubiquitous, but here it is also really, really delicious.

ARIAD Announces U.S. Food And Drug Administration Acceptance Of NDA Filing For Ponatinib
ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for filing the New Drug Application (NDA) for accelerated review of ARIAD's investigational BCR-ABL inhibitor, ponatinib, in patients with resistant or intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia-chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). The FDA also has granted ARIAD's request for Priority Review, which is given to investigational medicines that have the potential for providing significant improvement in the treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of a disease. The FDA has established an action date of March 27, 2013 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA).
About Ponatinib
Internally discovered at ARIAD, ponatinib is an investigational BCR-ABL inhibitor that also selectively inhibits certain other tyrosine kinases in preclinical studies, including FLT3, RET, KIT, and the members of the FGFR and PDGFR families of kinases.
The primary target for ponatinib is BCR-ABL, an abnormal tyrosine kinase that is expressed in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia-chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). Ponatinib was designed using ARIAD's computational and structure-based drug design platform to inhibit the activity of BCR-ABL with very high potency and broad specificity. Ponatinib targets not only native BCR-ABL but also its isoforms that carry mutations that confer resistance to treatment with existing tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including the T315I mutation for which no effective therapy currently exists.
About CML and Ph+ ALL CML is characterized by an excessive and unregulated production of white blood cells by the bone marrow due to a genetic abnormality that produces the BCR-ABL protein. After a chronic phase of production of too many white blood cells, CML typically evolves to the more aggressive phases referred to as accelerated phase or blast crisis. Ph+ ALL is a subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia that carries the Ph+ chromosome that produces BCR-ABL. It has a more aggressive course than CML and is often treated with a combination of chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Because both of these diseases express the BCR-ABL protein, this would render them potentially susceptible to treatment with ponatinib. About ARIAD ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an emerging global oncology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of medicines to transform the lives of cancer patients. ARIAD's approach to structure-based drug design has led to several internally discovered, molecularly targeted product candidates for drug-resistant or difficult-to-treat cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia and certain forms of non-small cell lung cancer. For additional information, visit http://www.ariad.com or follow ARIAD on Twitter (@ARIADPharm).

52 Sundays of dinner gave MS sufferer hope and a book title
Ronda Giangreco woke up following a day of wine tasting in 2008 and knew something was terribly wrong. Her entire left side had gone numb, and doctors diagnosed her as having had a stroke.
The next day, her right side was numb as well. After a spinal tap and a number of other tests, her condition was confirmed: late-onset multiple sclerosis.
It's one of the most frightening afflictions a person can face. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, about 400,000 Americans have MS, a chronic disease that can have devastating effects on the central nervous system.
The diagnosis sent Giangreco through a number of drug regimens and the prospect of never walking again. By 2010, she found her solace and most soothing therapy via her tastebuds: by hosting a series of Sunday-evening dinner parties at her Sonoma home.
She recalls that year of hosting 52 consecutive Sunday dinner parties in a new memoir, "The Gathering Table: Defying Multiple Sclerosis With a Year of Pasta, Wine & Friends."
Next Thursday, Giangreco will appear at Time Tested Books in Sacramento.
"I might not walk through 2010, but I'm going to the kitchen," said Giangreco, remembering her motivation for starting the dinner parties. "A big bowl of pasta and wine, and friends who were just an email away proved to be a very powerful combination."
Giangreco spent her career as a journalist and always had a passion for food. As a teenager, she took a class in bread making by James Beard, the American chef and author for whom the prestigious James Beard Foundation Awards are named. She'd also learned the finer points of making pasta and other dishes through cooking classes in Italy.
The MS diagnosis was especially bitter. Her husband, Michael, lost his mother to MS when he was just 16, and facing MS again shook everyone.
"I asked where his mother found her joy and how she coped with the disease," Giangreco said. "Every Sunday they went to Grandma Giangreco's, and he said 'That was the one time they could get my mom in the car.' They'd have a big Italian meal, and eat and drink wine and yell at each other. I said, 'Let's do that. Let's reprise that good memory of you with your mother by having Sunday dinners.' "
Giangreco decided to take the idea many steps further. Her goal was to cook and host one dinner party a week for 2010 – 52 Sundays in a row. The idea sounded good and noble on paper, but the reality was often taxing. Through the year, Giangreco went in and out of remission from MS, and on some Sundays her energy was tapped.
"One week I was coming home from the emergency room at noon, and had eight people coming for dinner at 6 p.m.," said Giangreco. "Yes, sometimes I scaled back. The appetizer was maybe a nice cheese and nuts, and sometimes dessert was store-bought ice cream. But most of the time, I was able to put out a nice dinner."
The kind of food served was actually secondary. The focus of the weekly feasts was on friendship and sharing life experiences. The dinner table turned into more of a storytelling circle, and the Giangrecos posed a series of questions to get the conversation flowing.
"We'd ask, 'What was your most memorable kiss?' or 'When were you most afraid in life?' " Giangreco recalled. "People shared marvelously funny memories. There were times when everyone at the table was in tears. It was about much more than just food."
Sue Young savors the memories of those dinner parties. A friend of Giangreco's, Young attended a number of the Sunday feasts and relished the welcoming atmosphere, not to mention the homemade ravioli and rabbit ragu.
"Besides the great food and meeting different people, it brought people out of their shell," Young said.
"Each person had a chance to think about things they never think about normally. It was thought- provoking and interesting to hear other people. Maybe doing these dinners helped change her mental attitude."
By the end of the year, Giangreco's guest list had grown from six to 170 on her email list. They came from a variety of places in their lives. Some were going through divorces or losing homes in the financial downturn, while others were in happier places.
"The laughter, the camaraderie, the solidarity – it was an enormously healing balm," Giangreco said. "What the MS diagnosis did for me was bring into sharper focus the need to tap into that joy and part of me that was most essential, and enjoy it while I had the capacity to do so. It's a message all of us should listen to: Do what you love, reach out and make yourself happy."
Giangreco has been enjoying eight months of remission from her MS. If her health continues to hold, she plans on traveling during 2013 to work on a second book, already titled, "A Gathering Across America."
She knows the specter of MS looms in the background but credits her dinner parties for keeping her soul strong and ready for new challenges.
"There are some things you can't cook your way around," Giangreco said. "I got lucky, and I'll never know if these dinners helped me stay well longer. I just know I'm in a much better place than the doctors thought I'd be."

Shelters open to keep East Texans warm and safe
Tyler, TX (KETK) — Because of the winter power lines are down, and neighborhoods are without power, and people are left trying to find a warm place. Thankfully, some East Texans are opening their doors to those in need.
Places are teaming up with the Red Cross, like St. Louis Baptist Church in Tyler, to provide a warm place to snack and wait for the power to turn back on. "The weather is kind of treacherous out there for East Texas, and we'll be open until hopefully this can be resolved," said Charles Williams. Williams is a Red Cross volunteer and the shelter manager at St. Louis Baptist Church. "We open, try to provide the needs for the community when they arise," said Williams, and if the powers out for people they can "have a place that they can come, here, and get warm and have a snack or two, a little bit of food, some warm drinks, and a comfortable place to sit and wait." The church life center will act a shelter for anyone in need. Red Cross is also sending cots and food to these volunteer fire departments. DPS tells KETK volunteer fire departments, such as Red Springs and Lindale, are also opening up as shelters to people that are stranded on I20, and to those without electricity.
The Salvation Army is prepared to take in more people. They have brought in extra cots, towels, and toiletries. "Usually in these times is when we are most expectant of having additional people at our lodge," said Chantel Million of the Salvation Army. Millin says more than twenty additional people stayed Sunday night, and they have a disaster shelter available to told 200 people. "We're here to make sure whoever needs us gets a meal, a place to shower, and just a place to stay out the elements and stay healthy," said Millin.
St. Louis Baptist Church will be staying open Monday night as a shelter: 4000 Frankston Highway Tyler, TX

Winners of the Gibraltar Poetry Competition 2014 with the judge, Mr Durante, and the Minister for Culture, Mr Linares |
Me, receiving my prize from the Minister and looking embarrassed - I hate photos! |
The competition judge, Charlie Durante, spoke in his introduction to the award ceremony about the breadth of themes touched on in this year's entries, including war poems. I guess this year, marred as it has been by some conflict or other around the globe and the threats that ideological extremism pose to any lasting peace anywhere, joined by the memories of the First World War so strong this the year of this war's centenary, the theme of war cannot be far from our minds.
My boy, David Anderson, surprised and delighted at winning his category. |
It is always interesting to browse entries and see what others see around them, what inspires them to make an observation, write it down and record it for posterity. Poetry opens a single window to the poet's thoughts which in a poem are expressed in a deeply personal way, a unique way which cannot be echoed by anyone else. So in reading some of the winning entries which we are lucky to read in the Gibraltar Chronicle, sponsors of the event, we are able to dip into insights to the world about us. David kindly allowed me to reproduce his poem below and I was surprised that he (usually to be found nose to screen in the depths of some computer game or other, communicating in binary code or peculiar adolescent grunts and trading in bit coins - whatever these are) demonstrated such a sensitive view of how it feels to sit at a desk in the exam room, waiting to turn that question paper round, knowing your entire future is at stake, and perfectly aware that any conscious knowledge of the subject you might have had escaped your over-worked brain over breakfast that morning. His poem is about the tension of crossing that chasm of fear and tackling those exams. Maybe although I never seem to catch him with a book in his hand, the boy is literate after all.
Mother and son, proud moment |
My poem was sparked by a photograph my very talented photographer daughter took of her son last year on a beach. The sense of wonder that a two-year-old displays in his face as he looks around the infinite spaces of sea-shore and horizon beyond borders on the indescribable. When I look at my grandsons and recall how my own children looked at the world around them with insatiable curiosity, absorbing details, thinking about what they see, working out their world and what might lie beyond the horizon, I see the child-like wonder that adults have usually lost. That we should also view the world about us with the same sense of non-judgemental curiosity would be a wonderful thing itself.
And there was a third family entry. My 12 year old daughter, Carmen added her thoughts to the event and came up with a poem expressing her feelings and fears about the shadow cast by the ebola epidemic, which even in the twenty-first century awakens the horrors of plague and disease experienced for generations. I am a very proud Mum at the moment, needless to say.
Congratulations to all the winners and runners up - many poems were terrific. I also congratulate all who entered, because it is not without a little courage that you put your intimate thoughts out for the world to see.
Over the Bridge by David Anderson
It's a darkness,
A cloud, dense
and purple,
That threatens to
engulf my world,
To choke me,
To clasp me to
its icy chest
Till my ribs snap
And I breathe no
more because
It hurts when I
And I'm standing
In the yellow
stains of school-room lights,
Gagging breath
clogging my throat-
Just waiting for
that one bark;
And then there's
Blinding bright
till my eyes smart,
Shining from the
That lies on my
Neat and clean
and blank,
Like my sorry
schoolboy mind.
And there's a
chasm there,
A yawning gap
With red, raw
Like hunting
That want to tear
The thin threads
of knowledge
My teachers tried
to weave;
Except, there is
a calm voice
In the flood of
That leads me to
Across a swaying
rope bridge,
From cliff edge
to mountain top,
Across the gorge
of ignorance.
And I step,
Nib of pen
Fog thinning and
clouds lifting,
And I edge,
Word by word,
Over the bridge.
land and sea by Jackie Anderson
Between the land and the sea I stand,
By lace-frilled shore,
On strip of sand,
A beach that to my tiny frame
Stretches like the stretch
Of time that passes slow,
Time that only just has been and
Time that without fail is yet to come.
With fingers still to find their strength,
I trace the shapes of paths
That reach the lapping waters
And seek to reach beyond,
Beyond the edges of the blue,
Beyond the reaches of my childlike mind,
Further than those places where
The crooning, soothing sea touches sky.
I pace the shore,
Toes deep in tiny grains
To anchor me to the earth
And hold me close to all that I hold dear,
To ground me to a haven.
And yet I gaze and seek
To reach beyond the blue,
And take the magic of the sun
In the palm of my hand,
Hold the rainbow in my eyes
And breathe the mysteries that lie
Catch me if you can by Carmen Anderson
I travel
I race
I leap
Through sky and sea and fields.
I'm coming for you,
Closer and closer every day.
But I don't understand;
You have technology,
You have computers, cameras, phones,
But you can't stop me,
You can't kill me,
You can't cure my work.
I thunder through towns
I rampage through cities.
I terrify.
I destroy.
I devastate.
And you can't stop me.
You are to busy,
You are too rich to care,
Too complacent in your comfort.
You don't think that I'm going to catch you.
But I will,
You stop and think and change your ways,
You dedicate time
To stopping me,
To killing me,
To curing me.
The thing is,
You have to do it
Before it's too late
You're smarter than me.
But I'm fast,
Catch me if you can.
Because I will catch you.

The new Viva Piñata game on the Xbox 360 uses the Xbox Live Vision camera to read codes found on Viva Piñata cards, unlocking new piñatas. It's an impractical feature (if only there were some other way to enter short text strings into a game ...) but it's a fun gimmick. And it's designed such that the camera can read card images not just from physical cards, but from screens on computers and portable devices, which enhances the possibilities for sharing.
The DS has a Viva Piñata game (Pocket Paradise). The DS has screens. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could use the DS game to send stuff to the 360 game? It would be -- and is! Rare had it implemented, according to MTV Multiplayer's interview with Rare's Justin Cook, but too late. "We got it to work, but it was too late in the development cycle," Cook said. "It's one of those things where you just kick yourself." A strange statement coming from Rare. Can't they just delay the game for a couple of years?

ABC News' John Muller reports:
The Cleveland woman who was caught on camera swerving onto a sidewalk to pass a school bus full of children and forced to stand at the intersection wearing an "idiot" sign as punishment refused to publicly apologize for her actions but says she understands she is an example.
"This is a learning experience for me and an example for my daughter that if you make poor or bad choices you have to suffer the consequences," Sheena Hardin, 32, told ABC News in a statement. "I broke traffic laws, the same as running a red light or texting while driving. All have the potential for a dangerous outcome."
That statement was the only comment issued by Hardin as she stood silent while fulfilling her punishment yesterday and today, standing at the corner of East 38 th Street and Payne Avenue in Cleveland for one hour during the morning rush hour while wearing a sign that said in bold print, "Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."
The silence from Hardin came after she pled no contest last week to charges of not stopping for a school bus and reckless operation on a street or highway. She was captured on video driving on the sidewalk last September so that she wouldn't have to stop to wait for the children in the school bus to load and unload.
Onlookers who observed her holding the sign said she wasn't taking her crime, or the punishment, seriously enough.
"She's been texting, she's been smoking, she's got sunglasses on and it's snowing outside," Lisa Kelley, a bystander in the mix of locals and reporters watching the spectacle unfold yesterday, told ABC News. "You know, she don't care."
Today, however, Hardin gained a supporter, a man identified by local ABC affiliate NewsNet5 as Archie Berwick who stood by Harding with a sign that read, "If she's an idiot, then so am I =)"
"I don't agree with what you did was right but I still don't believe you're an idiot," NewsNet5 reported Berwick, an employee of a local radio station, as saying.
Hardin replied to Berwick that she isn't "getting sucked into this," according to the station.
Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Pinkey S. Carr, who ordered Hardin to stand at the busy intersection, had said yesterday that she would personally supervise Hardin completing her punishment today, but did not appear on the scene.
Carr rdered Hardin to not only wear the sign from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. both days but also specified that the sign be written on 22 x 22 white poster board with the text written in all capital letters in black marker.
Hardin was also ordered to pay $250 in court costs and had her license suspended for 30 days, according to court records.

There's also a popular beer called Keystone. Personally, I think the theory that PA is the central keystone of an Original Colonies arch is the right one. John Morton casting the deciding vote for American independence was an important moment, obviously, but I think the nickname was already in the works before the Revolutionary War.

JPQL left outer join with condition on the right side

Hi everyone,
We know that left outer join will retrieve the entities from the left table even if entities from the right table are not present. Suppose we have the following relationship:
@Entity public class A { @OneToMany( mappedBy="a" ) private Set<B> b; } @Entity public class B { @ManyToOne private A a; }
Now, to retrieve all A entities with or without B's, we execute the following statement:
from A a left join fetch a.b
What about for something like this?
1. Give me all entities from A and its B instances
2. B instances doesn't need to exist
3. If B instances exist, select only B instances whose ID is equal to x
In this case, we are putting a condition on the optional right table or right side instead of the putting condition on the left side.
In native SQL, it's something like this:
select a.id, b.id from A a left outer join B b on a.id = b.a_id and b.id = ?
which is not the same as
select a.id, b.id from A a left outer join B b on a.id = b.a_id where b.id = ?
The former retrieves all records from A regardless if records from B exist, in addition, records from B must have its ID equal to something.
The latter retrieves all records from A that has B records whose ID is equal to something.
My question is what is the JPQL for the former?

First of all, my full apologies for taking an old thread back, but I think that this post from Frankie reflects my doubt exactly.
I've found lots of lacks in JPQL for these years (compared to the possibilities of pure SQL). In version 1.0, and also in 2.0. One of the most frustrating ones has been not being able to do
conditional left outer joins
, just like this thread exposes.
Fortunately, the API which I'm using (Hibernate) has a way to achieve this with the keyword WITH, which is equivalent in some way to ON in SQL, and even admits references of type many-to-one inside, using a simple dot notation.
But... Do you know if there is any plan from the creators of the JPQL standard to include a feature like this one?
Thank you.

Thank you James. I've looked for some information about JPA 2.1 and I've found this article:

Photos: Bad Habits That Age Your Smile
NEW YORK, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ — By Dr. Michael Apa, DDS, PC
People often connect a dull smile with age. Chips, cracks, and stains on your teeth can add years to your face. However, a bright smile gives the impression of good health, good habits and youth. What you might not know is that many of the external causes of an aging smile are determined by health and lifestyle decisions you make everyday.
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/crest/39174/
Check out these four habits that lead to an aging smile, and if you're guilty of any of them, learn how to fix them.
Foods and Drinks that Stain Your Teeth – Dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, soda, red wine, chocolate and ketchup can discolor your teeth causing you to look older than you are. However, there are easy over-the-counter whitening options that can help restore a whiter, more youthful-looking smile. With Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, you'll start seeing whitening results in just three days! And the advanced adhesion technology molds the strip securely to your teeth so you can go about your daily routine while you whiten.
Smoking – Smoking not only causes teeth discoloration, but it may also cause bad breath. The Academy of General Dentistry reports that smoking one pack of cigarettes a day can result in the loss of at least two teeth every 10 years. So before whitening your teeth, stop smoking – your smile and body will thank you for it!
Using your Teeth as Tools – Teeth are not built to rip open packages or cut into plastic ties. Chewing on ice cubes is also a no-no. These can cause teeth trauma or breakage that can disrupt the normal growth pattern or source nutrients to your teeth, causing teeth discoloration. So next time you think about opening your mail with your teeth, think again!
Brushing with an Old Toothbrush – Manual toothbrushes become worn out and less effective after about 3 months. Also, if you have gum disease, you should change your toothbrush every 4-6 weeks because bacteria can harbor in the bristles. When you're writing your weekly shopping list, add a new soft-bristled toothbrush. Hard bristles combined with applying too much pressure when brushing can push back your gumline, making your teeth more prone to staining, sensitivity and cavities.

This is so much different than what I am used to writing. Normally I write in someone's POV but I didn't for this one. Also, normally it's for a giant fandom. Not for this one. This was requested by KellyJane, TealPirate, and the rest of Parle Productions. A Vancha/Conor fic. Only the beginning for Parle fanfiction.
I am really sorry if the people seem really OOC but I am not a stalker and don't know every detail about your lives. So apologies if some things are not correct. As you can see I'm kinda out of my comfort zone.
Warning: CRACKINESS, YAOI, and CROSSDRESSING are in this fic. You have been warned.
Me: I don't own nor am I a part of Parle Productions. All credit goes to Kelly and Jenn. Enjoy!
Strange Dreams
Vancha sighed and walked in the door. He dropped his stuff in the corner and sat on his bed. He rubbed his eyes tiredly and groaned. What a stressful day it's been.
The Parle member laid down and glanced at the clock. It read 10:17 pm, "Well, I guess a bit of shut eye won't hurt."
He put something on his twitter and proceeded to fall asleep.
The voice jerked Vancha awake. He looked at his new surroundings. He was sitting at a desk just outside of another room. He got up and noticed he was in a dress and high heels.
"What the hell
?" he muttered to himself.
It was then that he felt an extra weight on his chest. Vancha facepalmed. He had boobs.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me."
"LINDA!" The voice rang out again.
Vancha shrugged and assumed voice was probably referring to him. He sighed and went into the office to find
"Jenn?" Vancha asked in disbelief.
Jenn rolled her eyes, "There you are, Linda. Were you sleeping again?"
"Well I-"
"Never mind." Jenn interrupted, "Just go bring me Miss Poole's resume."
Vancha sighed and left the room to look for the paper.
Jenn turned back to the person sitting across from her, "So Charlotte, where were we?"
Charlotte smiled, "Well I think that I'd be a great addition to Parle Productions. I have the experience, the references, and I can tell by the look in your eyes that I'll be a worthwhile addition to your team!"
Vancha returned with the resume. When he was about to give it to Jenn, Charlotte shot up and snatched it out of his hand. Vancha shot her a look and went back to his desk in the other room.
Charlotte continued on, "So I'll start at 25 pounds a week and we'll work our way from there."
"Wait, I don't think-" Jenn tried to say.
"This is a great opportunity for me. We'll make it 35 but I won't go any higher!" She interrupted.
"Hold on a second." Jenn tried again.
"Sounds reasonable to me! I'm hired!" she beamed.
Jenn slammed her hands on the table, "Wait a minute, you can't do that!"
"I can't do what?" Charlotte half yelled.
"Say you're hired."
"Say what?"
"You're hired."
"I am? Fantastic!" Charlotte said victoriously.
Meanwhile, Vancha was still trying to figure out what the hell was going on. He was in the women's bathroom staring at himself in the mirror. Blonde hair, heavy makeup, and a flowery dress. He really needed to stop drinking.
He walked back in and sat down at his desk. He noticed Jenn was gone and Charlotte had taken her place. Getting bored already, Vancha began playing with his hair.
Suddenly, he saw Conor walk in the door. Vancha didn't know why but
he felt attracted to him. Almost an infatuation. Maybe it was because he was wearing a tux. Conor smiled and set his resume on the desk.
He began to make his way to the office. Vancha followed Conor with his eyes. He began to lean against his arm which was on the desk but instead fell out of his chair, smashing the wastebasket beneath him. Conor stared at him strangely as Vancha was practically crawling on the floor to him.
Charlotte didn't look up when Conor came in, "Please have a seat."
"Thank you." Conor replied.
Charlotte nodded and noticed Vancha's strange attraction to Conor. She smiled and took that to her advantage. She looked up at him as he was sitting down. Vancha made it to the desk and got up. In two seconds, Conor was pulled halfway across the desk kissing Charlotte. Vancha put his hands on his hips staring at both of them in anger.
Charlotte pulled back and stared awkwardly. She got up and walked away. Vancha grumbled and went back to his desk again. Conor attempted to process everything that just happened but failed. So he shrugged and sat in the interviewer's chair.
Vancha noticed Kelly walk in the door and drop her resume on the desk. He decided not to care anymore because he gave up understanding any of this bullshit a long time ago. He picked up her resume and started playing with it.
Kelly walked into the office and was greeted by Conor. She sat down across from him.
"So why do you want to join Parle Productions?" he asked semi knowing what he was doing.
Kelly smirked, "Ah, is that the question? Or is it why are you here in the first place?"
Conor looked at her in bewilderment, "I don't quite follow you."
"Am I the only thing you don't quite follow? Or is there more to this than that?" she retorted.
Conor shook his head to clear his confusion, "Linda, can you bring in the applicant's resume?"
Vancha sighed and threw the paper airplane resume into the office and hit Conor in the back of the head. Conor grabbed the paper and set in down on the desk. Kelly got up and dangled a watch in front of Conor's face.
"When I snap my fingers, you will turn to the woman beside you and say 'You are hired' to the woman." She said swinging the watch back and forth.
Conor rolled your eyes, "That's it. I'm calling the police."
Kelly snapped her fingers and Conor's head fell flat on the desk. He rose slowly and turned to her.
"You are
a retard." He said laughing in the end.
Kelly snapped again, but to no avail.
Conor put his feet up onto the desk, "Enough lady, get out of my office."
"Fuck it. Plan B." She cleared her throat and spoke in a voice similar to Conor's, "Linda I want you."
Vancha almost immediately got up and ran into the office. Unable to control himself any longer, he jumped onto Conor and pulled them both to the floor, fiercely making out with him.
Kelly grinned evilly at the romantic chaos she created, "From this day forward, Parle Productions will be known as Pale Pornductions."
All of the sudden, Vancha's eyes snapped open and bolted up in his bed. He ran into the bathroom and was relieved to see he was back to his old self.
"Shit," he breathed, "I really need to stop drinking."
He heard his phone ring and fished it out of his pocket. He noticed that it was from Conor.
Vancha took a deep breath and answered it, "Hey Conor, what's up?"
"Hey Vancha. Kelly just called and said that the group is meeting at Nando's in half an hour for breakfast."
"Breakfast?" Vancha repeated. He looked at the clock and saw it said 8:30 am.
"Yeah." Conor confirmed, "You okay? You sound tired."
Vancha rubbed the sleep from his eyes, "Oh um I had a bit of a rough night. I'm fine."
"Well some Nando's will make you feel better."
He laughed, "Okay Conor. Well I'll see you then."
"Bye." Conor said before hanging up.
Vancha put his phone back in his pocket after he hung up. He slipped his coat and shoes on, grabbed his keys and wallet, and headed out the door.
Okay well I hope that wasn't too terrible! It probably won't be better than the other Vancha/Conor stories you've gotten. But I'm pretty sure this would be the crackiest. Sorry if it seemed confusing. You can read the Artist Comments if it you didn't understand.
Hope you all like it!!

Re: Tyson would have beaten wlad pretty easy and heres why
Tyson back in the 80's when he had Cus and Rooney had the footwork and head movement to easily get on the inside of any big man.
I'm not even going to waste my time arguing with Tyson haters, they always post the same **** that's been refuted again and again like their life depends on it. The real reason they hate Tyson? Because in his prime Tyson slept with more women than they ever will in their lives and this fact ****es these insecure guys off.
What people need to realize is that Tyson's losses all came after he abandoned his head movement, footwork, trainer, work ethic, combinations, became a headhunting puncher, and started using drugs. If the focused Tyson that annihilated Berbick in 2, Holmes in 4, Tubbs in 2, and Spinks in 1 shows up than Wladimir is in big trouble.
A glass chin is a glass chin, and even worse, Wladimir doesn't know how to recover once his glass chin is touched.
And all this is comming from someone who actually likes the Klitschko brothers.

Valley of the Gods is a scenic sandstone valley near Mexican Hat in San Juan County, southeastern Utah. It is north of Monument Valley across the San Juan River (Colorado River), and has similar rock formations. This is a smaller scale version of Monument Valley, with tall, red, isolated mesas and cliffs standing above the level valley floor, remnants of an ancient landscape. The Valley of the Gods area may be toured via a 17 mile dirt road (FR 242) that winds amongst the eerie formations; this is rather steep and bumpy in parts but should be passable by normal vehicles in good weather.

Dizzy was having weird dreams lately. Ever since he stole something from this stand at his town's flea market he had been having dreams of a mysterious black haired girl wearing what he had stole. He took a white dress from the stand. He was gonna give it to one of his friends who he liked but always forgot.
"Man that same dream. Who is that girl?" Dizzy thought to himself. "This is so frustrating. Maybe I should have just taken it back." Dizzy said putting on his t-shirt and short and slipping on a pair of sandals dashing out the door with the dress. "Maybe I won't be in trouble if I just return it without them seeing me." He thought.
Dizzy had saw it was in the middle of the night and that the flea market was closed. But seeing through a hole, he saw the stand's lights were still on. He hopped the fence and slowly made his way to the stand.
"There, now nice and easy." Dizzy said placing the dress on the counter, turning to be surprised by a young girl in a red and yellow Japanese dress.
"Hi there. So you're the one who took our lovely dress." She said smiling.
"Yep, I think he might look cute in it." Another girl wearing a white dress carrying a sword said appearing from around the corner.
"It's not for me! I go this for my friend." Dizzy yelled.
"No need to yell. But if you liked it so much, how bout you try it on!" The girl said leaping on Dizzy who blacked out.
Dizzy awoke to find himself in a grassy field. He was startled wondering why he was there alone. He stumbled up to see he was now wearing the white dress.
"What the hell? Those bitches must have put it on me. They'll pa-...Uh oh..." Dizzy felt he was completely naked under the dress. He had no other choice but to wear it now. He started walking but instantly fell.
"Huh?" He turned to see his feet were now smaller. He rolled over to notice his legs were now sleek and slender to now. "What the hell is happening? Why did my legs get smaller?" He wondered, so much went through his head. Suddenly he held his private.
"Gah!" He screamed in pain while it vanished without a trace. "No...I can't believe it' gone...My precious manhood is gone..." Dizzy whined standing up noticing his butt was now more firm making him blush a little as he squeezed it.
Dizzy then looked at his arms to see they were now more delicate. His skin was smooth and soft now, he even saw two red ribbons tied around each arm. He tried to speak but found his voice extremely high now.
"Oh man...I have to get out of here." He said continuing through the field. He noticed he had no shoes on but it was like he didn't even care. The grass was soft and he was begging to take in the nice scene and flowers.
"It is nice out here." Dizzy said not caring that his black hair grew past his shoulders. He began to giggle and hum to himself until he came across a red neck tie in the grass. He picked it up and put it on. "Perfect fit." Dina no longer Dizzy smiled feeling warm inside now. She didn't care about her reasons for trying to leave the field now. She didn't care about the dress cus it was her's now and she did look cute in it.
"Oh wow. I love this place. The flowers are so cute and the breeze feels good against the skin." She said skipping along until the two girls from earlier appeared again.
"I see your having a good time." Jackyln said.
"Yep." Dina hummed to herself.
"Come on, it's time for us to go back to the stand." Kendra said.
"Oh yeah. I forgot. I must help our master sell her items along with you two." Dina said turning towards the two girls. "Can you guys get me some shoes?" She asked.
"Sure. I'm sure our master has some at the stand." Jackyln said.
The three girls made it back to the stand and went in through the curtain. Their master was waiting for them.
"I see you've brought me another new worker. Good job you two." She said.
"Thank you." The two bowed.
"Whats your name my dear?" The woman asked.
"I'm Dina. Nice to meet you and I can't wait to start selling for you." She said.
"Good. But it's time for us to start packing up. I need to go to other towns and sell these cursed items." She said. "So get ready you three because we leave at sundown." She said going back into her room.
"Goodie. We get to sell to more people." Dina said hugging Kendra.
"Yep. More and more people who will be happy by our products." She replied.
"Yeah but lets get ready cus we leave in a few hours." Jackyln said packing a few items.
The three girls packed up the entire stand in no time. Their master was pleased with her first stop. She had collected three good workers who will do anything for her. She couldn't wait to see what they could do in the future. She just hummed to herself traveling to the next town as her three workers giggled and chatted amongst themselves in the back.
So remember, if you ever see that particular stand with the girl with the fan, and the girl with the sword, as well as the girl with the white dress. Stay away from it because who knows. You might find yourself in the future working there as well.

Copper-edged golden-straw. Superripe aromas of damp earth, chocolate and apricot; shows Tokaj-like qualities. Fat, sweet and deep, with almost exotic ripeness in the mouth. Honeyed and very ripe. Gives an almost saline impression of extract. Finishes very long, with a note of burnt sugar. Got better and better in the open bottle. Lovely balance. (7/ 1998)
This subtle white grows on you, showing lovely tropical, toasted coconut and lemon flavors that blend together harmoniously on the intense, long, sweet finish. (4/ 1995)
Medium gold-colored, with botrytis, creme brulee, honeyed tropical fruits in the nose, this full-bodied, sweet wine possesses good acidity, layers of glycerin-imbued, plump, chewy, honeyed fruit, and plenty of spice and alcohol in the lusty finish. It is a luxuriously made, in-your-face style of sweet wine. (10/ 1998)

Wallingford Wanderings
Wallingford has been my home for over 30 years, and I welcome the opportunity to share my observations. We walk the neighborhood extensively in all seasons and states of…mind. Even so, I'm not sure where Wallingford begins and ends. If my peregrinations cross into your neighborhood, I'll cheerfully annex it for the purposes of that day's blog. I promise I'll return it in better condition than when I found it.
Blockhead Watch
I had just finished running around Greenlake and was walking up my street when I noticed a neighbor's living room full of people, and recalled seeing a sign on their retaining wall announcing a Block Watch meeting. I walked up the steps and let myself in, to find the meeting in progress and presided over by Diana Horswill of the Seattle Police Department. We had organized a Block Watch on our street about 10 or 15 years ago, but it had fallen into disuse as a generation of homeowners gradually turned over. Happily, one of the new residents took on its revival, and Ms. Horswill is kind enough to give up an evening to answer questions, discuss crime and safety issues and pass along advice on crimestopping techniques.

Noodling Around
Cold weather commands us to dress in layers of polypro and fiber, and, deeply ensconsed within, we feel emboldened to seek out big food, like pastas and polentas, with spicy sauces to clear the sinuses, safe in the knowledge that the extra calories won't be on display through lycra the next day.

Playing While It Snows
As we left the Bagley Wright Theater (after seeing Seattle Rep's production of The Great Gatsby), snow was falling in gobs the size of cotton balls, so palpable that I choked when I inhaled one. The patina of refinement seemed to hold sway as the audience dispersed, and no WFDs (Weapons of Frozen Destruction) were launched until we got home to the coarser climes of Wallingford.

Snow Way To Live
It's no news to PI readers that we've had some snow and winter weather the last couple of days. When it started Sunday afternoon, it was all little-kid, snow-day excitement among those who, unlike us telecommuter-capable drones, might get Monday off. While we got a fun little accumulation Sunday night, all indications on Monday morning were that it was warming up, the snow was softening and I fulfilled a commitment to work in Redmond for the day.

I spent the weekend before Thanksgiving visiting family in Charleston, SC. We, two younger brothers and I, are all Ohio State alums, and we've been gathering at my middle brother's place the last few years to roast oysters and watch the Ohio State-Michigan game. I tell myself that it's much nicer to watch the game while basking in their extended Indian summer than to be freezing my butt off in some God-forsaken rust belt stadium, but I'm really kidding both of us. I'd've killed your dog and my cat for a ticket to the game this year. It was still pretty sweet from a distance of 600 miles.

Sunday Stroll
It gets a bit difficult to write relevant posts about Wallingford when one is absent for long stretches, as I was last week (Milwaukee), and will be this week (Charleston, SC). Wandering Wallingford has been further hampered by the demise of daylight savings time, not to mention torrential rains. We still get out and walk, but one of the things I like to do is take photographs along the way, and the 4:30 sunsets severely curtail this activity. Gone are those profligate summer days when the evening light lingered until last call, and we could goof off until 7 and still walk to Gasworks and back with sunglasses on. For instance, the picture in this article below was taken at 8pm in mid-July, while this one: Click any photo to enlarge

Sneaky Storm
Did anyone else read this story in the newly edgy Seattle Weekly and wonder just how Mayor Nickels was able to get away with bankrolling what amounted to private "smooth jazz" concerts for himself and selected area bigwigs? According to the article, "Quiet Storm" was the code name of a project researching how to position the genre as Seattle's next grunge-like cultural and economic wave?

The mats fit very well. I like that they are very sturdy and not flimsy, but they are not super thick either. They grip the carpet underneath very well so they don't slide at all. The only reason they didn't get all 5 stars was because the driver mat does not come up high enough under the pedals as I think they should. Also they didn't make a flap for the left footrest for the driver side. I will have to figure out some way to protect the left foot rest pad on my own.

Terry tips Lamps to shine
06 Jun 2007 - 07:49:09
England captain John Terry has backed his national team and Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard to overcome a recent drop in form that has seen him attract criticism from the boo-boys.
Lampard is without a goal in his last seven games for England and was given a rough ride by some fans during the 1-1 friendly draw with Brazil at Wembley last Friday.
However, Terry is keen to stress that Lampard has been a top-class performer over a lengthy period for both club and country.
He said: "I was a little bit surprised by the fans' reaction. I was baffled more than anything as to where it has all come from and why.
"Not only for Chelsea but also for England, Frank has been fantastic. There are not many players in the world who have achieved what Frank has achieved, done what he has done over a course of three or four years.
"Yes, an England goal would do him the world of good as it does everyone else. It would be great for him to do that, but Frank has got other roles to play in the team. It is not just about his goal scoring.
"You take his goal scoring away and he brings an awful lot to the team as well.
"I think Frank must have been shocked by what happened against Brazil.
"Even when I was sitting there on the bench and Frank was coming off, I was thinking 'where has this come from?' and it must have had the same affect on him."
