Hope is not anybody special. She has the same capacity as every person to be a selfless vessel for the all loving and creative principal.
Until she was 11 years old, hope was raised by a group of traveling Christian missionaries. In her early childhood, much of Hope's time was spent memorizing Bible verses, praying, witnessing, busking and playing with friends and siblings.
At age 11, Hope's father moved from USA to Japan, and Hope stayed with her mother, who was no longer living a missionary lifestyle. Hope felt awkward around school kids since being cool seemed to be associated with acting mean. Hope would naturally return meanness with kindness….she was friendly and personable with everyone and had no set group of friends.
Even though they weren't missionaries anymore, Hope and her family was moved from place to place and Hope was moved from school to school…usually within 6 months. She connected with people wherever she went and spoke of a kind and loving God.
Hope was sexually, physically and emotionally abused by her stepfather, who stepped into the picture when hope was 5years old. This was a cause for much confusion in Hope's mind since she didn't understand how a kind and loving God could allow such things.
Hope felt great compassion for her stepfather at times and at other times she had visions of him being beaten bloody. This was a cause for intense conflict in Hope's experience.
At age 21, Hope decided that Jesus and God were only make believe, and she stopped praying. She met her future husband who believed that everything comes to a person through hard work and self reliance…and that there was no God.
Hope and her husband practiced hard work and self reliance for many years, while raising 3 kids. They were pretty successful in worldly terms, but at about age 31, Hope felt very strongly that something was wrong.
Her relationship with her husband was turning sour, as their attention was constantly focused on getting more money to maintain and expand their lifestyle. She also had a very tense relationship with her preteen daughter, whom she was trying to mold into a happy and productive member of society.
Hope still didn't pray, or utter the words "Help me Jesus". She wasn't defiant. She just really believed there was no help available.
Then, one day her sister-in-law gave Hope a popular new age book called The Secret, which was a glimmer of light for Hope. She started to devour books and recordings on New Age philosophy, which mostly calmed Hope's anxiety about working hard and relying on herself, and her relationship with her husband was improving.
However, Hope was still experiencing intense anger and violent thoughts toward her mom and stepfather for the years of abuse that she endured. And naturally, Hope was dealing with health issues.
She had tried many different sorts of doctors and treatments, but nothing would cover up her physical complaints for very long.
Intuitively, Hope began to pay attention to her body sensations and listening to what was being spoken in her mind. It was a gradual process, but Hope's chronic health issues and mean-spirited thoughts toward her parents lightened up substantially.
Hope and her family moved to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2010 at the age of 37 with her husband and 2 young sons. Hope had no idea how she and her family would be supported in Hawaii, but she just knew that everything would work out.
This was Hope's first time, in 17 years of being a mother that she didn't have a job or business to keep her occupied, and she became painfully aware of intense conflict between herself and her young boys.
Hope recognized that she always felt trapped by her kids, and at the time she felt more trapped than ever, even though her husband mostly took care of them. Hope generally felt that kids were annoying and disruptive, and she often condemned herself for having kids in the first place.
Hope thought she would be free to pursue spirituality and her career as a spiritual teacher if she didn't have kids. The suffering over this thought was quite intense. (Hope often felt like she was being punched in the mouth.)
Hope conceptually understood the principals of spirituality, but she was not able to make it work in her experience. Hope felt very ashamed of herself.
….until Hope recognized that there was nobody to be ashamed of because there are no separate and autonomous individuals!
With this recognition, Hope's gaze upon her kids, herself and the world softened. Instead of trying to avoid reacting to her experience, she was welcoming reactions into her body as invaluable teachers.
Through soft surrender, which took hold in August, 2014, Hope 's world changed. She fell in love with her boys and her adult daughter, and for the first time began to experience appreciation for having children.
Hope became less interested in spiritual debate, or thoughts about herself or anyone else being wrong, bad or mistaken; and much more interested in whatever was being sensed in her body.
In challenging moments, when it seemed like the situation was unbearable, Hope would find herself thinking "Help Me Jesus", and her attention was immediately focused back on welcoming sensation.
As her attention was being refocused over and over again, Hope watched everything in her life transform…almost magically.
As of the time of this writing (August 2015) Hope experiences harmony in All of her relationships, she's inspired by her work with essential oils and with people who are drawn to ultimate freedom, and her heart is constantly glad.

Many Blessings to you,
Lovely Hope!
You really really understand life.
I am happy for you.
My epiphany and escape from the bondage of gods and goblins happened long ago.
I say that I am enlightened.
It means that I see as you do.
Imagine a world that tears down the veil of fear and hypocrisy!
There would be no more evil and every lifeform would participate in our human made Eden.
By the way, I still like good witches, fairies, elves, and all the mythical creatures that project love and happiness.
Hope. Thank you for being.
Dear Hope:
What a name. There is so much there in itself. I do not know if this is the name your missionary parents gave you, or if it is something you created for this site, but it is a beautiful name, none-the-less.
Your LinkedIn comments let me to your site this 12th day of September, 2011 and I like others felt a kinship to your expressions. I have considered myself a spiritual person more than a religious person for decades but feel I am still sriving more than BEING. I have read books like "The Secret of Letting Go" by Guy Finley and the "Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and "A New Earth" by the same author. I have read the Bible, Torah, Quran, Tao, and other readings. I havve prayed, fasted, and striven to be the best I know how.
However, deep inside I feel it is still strving and not BEING. I long to Be, but am not sure how to walk in my TRUE voice and my True Being. What I know is I want to say thank you for sharing. As a fellow occupant of tis creation, I want to wish you and your family, PEACE, LOVE, & TRANQUILITY.
I pray for deeper revelation for you and for us all and sincerely wish you and your family LOVE!
If you want to sense a part of my spirit beyond these words, visit my Professional Website, which is a manifestation of my spirit. All quotes were selected by me. All photo's were either taken by me or approved by me, the two videos resinate what is within my heart and soul but I still am holding myself back and not being all I was created to Be.
I am my greatest limitation and I no longer wish to be. If you have any advice please share via my email.
From The Heart,
UMmmmmmm….. BEEeeeeeing Still……. I'm Laughing with you right now………..

BROOKSVILLE — African-American families in South Brooksville will soon get the official word: Their children are just as entitled to school choice as are students from any other part of Hernando County.
In letters being sent out Monday, families will be told they have the right to "opt out" of a racial busing plan that, since the 1960s, has sent black children to schools many miles from their home. They'll also learn they have the right to apply to another school besides their neighborhood school under the district's controlled choice plan, just like other families.
Those rights aren't new. But they haven't been emphasized in recent years, as the district waits for a federal decision on whether it can formally end a desegregation plan designed for the grandparents of today's schoolchildren.
And that's a pity, said Superintendent Wayne Alexander.
"I'm saddened by the fact that we haven't always informed people, but that's the past," he added Thursday.
Back in 1965, there was no such thing as school choice for African-American families. Under a Jim Crow-era housing code, they could only live on the south side of town, and their children could only attend the all-black Moton School.
Compared to that, it felt like progress to many black families when the federal government forced the county in 1965 to adopt a so-called voluntary busing program, or face a court order to do so.
The numbers of students being bused to other schools has waned since the 1970s, when around 650 students were bused to Spring Hill schools. Last spring just 75 students were bused, with that number rising to 93 students last fall, said student services director James Knight.
Some families took advantage of a district offer to opt out of the busing program beginning in the 1990s.
Others value the option or have grown attached to schools like Westside Elementary, despite their distance, said officials from the local chapter of the NAACP last year.
But at a recent town meeting in South Brooksville, several residents told Alexander they weren't aware they could "opt out" of the plan and attend neighborhood schools, or apply to another school under the choice plan.
"That's something all parents have the right to take advantage of," school social worker Cynthia Jackson told the crowd.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that schools cannot assign students to schools in a "non-individualized, mechanical way" on the basis of race. But it left open the possibility that districts could take steps to prevent the isolation of minority students in just a few schools.
Those rulings shed little clarity on Hernando's situation. While around 7 percent of Hernando children are African-American, that percentage varies from as much as 16 percent in some schools to less than 2 percent in others.
The federal Department of Education has yet to rule on the county's 2006 request to end its busing program, Alexander said.
But in the meantime, he said, the district feels it is within its legal rights to remind families of their rights under the school choice plan — even if that means most or all black families decide to abandon busing.
"It feels safe to give families a choice," Alexander said. "It feels like what's best for kids."

No bird can maneuver in mid-air as deftly as a hummingbird. Biologist Gayle Brown learned that fact firsthand while doing field work a few years ago on Vancouver Island. She was trying to band some of the tiny rufous hummingbirds that breed on the island during summer. Unfortunately, Brown´s intended study animals quickly learned to evade her nets. Then she discovered the hummingbird´s Achilles heel, so to speak: its stomach.
A biologist at the Northwest Biological Science Center in Seattle, Brown took to luring the animals with a feeder dispensing sugar water that resembles the flower nectar the birds crave. Day by day, she moved the feeder closer and closer to an open bird cage. Finally, she placed the feeder inside the cage, which greatly simplified banding. By the end of summer, Brown sat in her tent and let the birds come to her. "Hummingbirds are so anxious for food," she says, "they don´t seem to be afraid of things that ought to make them afraid."
Food anxiety is an apt, if anthropomorphic, way to describe the overarching feature of hummingbird life. For the world´s smallest birds, life is spent balanced precariously on a metabolic knife edge between gorging and starvation. Though by day a hummer takes in half its body weight in sugar, by night it approaches the point of starvation while it sleeps. "A forgetful lab assistant can easily kill 30 hummingbirds in a day, just by not putting sugar in their water," says Brown´s one-time academic mentor, zoologist Lee Gass of the University of British Columbia. "They are obviously burning energy very fast just to stay alive."
Hummingbirds do indeed live life in the fast lane. And directly or indirectly, almost everything about hummingbirds--not just their fast-forward metabolism but their body structures, their mode of flying, their diet, even their feistiness--can be tied to their improbable size. Moreover, by living a life of extremes, hummingbirds provide biologists with one of nature´s most stripped-down "model systems" for revealing how birds in general manage to do what they do.
Found only in the Western Hemisphere, hummingbirds survive through the extremes of climate as well. Their range extends from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, from sea-level rain forests to the edges of Andean snow and ice fields at an altitude of 15,000 feet. Most of the 320 or so species of the birds, however, are found year-round in the tropical forests of Ecuador and Colombia.
Of the species that migrate, barely a dozen fly as far north as the United States and Canada to breed in spring and summer (compared to the 54 species that breed in tiny Costa Rica alone). Some of these, like the Anna´s hummingbird, are year-round residents of this country. Others, including the broad-tailed and calliope hummingbirds, venture north to breed in the Rocky Mountains. The smallest bird found in the United States is the calliope hummingbird. With feathers, it´s the size of your thumb; without, it´s about the size of a bumblebee. Either way, it weighs little more than a penny.
East of the Mississippi River, the ruby-throated hummingbird is the most commonly seen species. Weighing just one-seventh of an ounce, it flies 500 miles nonstop each year across the Gulf of Mexico.
The most "adventurous" species is the rufous, which travels more than 2,000 miles from Central America to western Canada and Alaska--and then back every year. How do such tiny birds accomplish such aerial feats? The answer is found in the creature´s anatomy.
Nearly one-third of a hummingbird´s weight is muscle, giving it the most powerful build of any bird; its heart is proportionally the largest of any animal´s. As for its wings, the wrist and elbow joints are nearly rigid, while the shoulders are extremely flexible. In its hovering mode of flight, a hummingbird holds its body partially upright and pivots its wings at the shoulder. Its wings beat invisibly fast--as much as 80 times per second in some species--producing the characteristic buzz. The bird produces lift on the upstroke as well as the downstroke. Without this economy of power, hovering would be too taxing to maintain for long.
Even so, hovering is a gas-guzzling way to fly, metabolically speaking. Ounce for ounce, hummingbirds burn energy faster than any other creatures except flying insects. A 170-pound human burns between 2,500 and 3,000 calories a day. If there were 170-pound hummingbirds, they would burn more than 150,000 calories a day. Hummingbird authority Crawford Greenewalt once calculated that if human bodies used energy at that rate, our skin, if dry, would heat up to 750 degrees F. Hummingbirds don´t overheat largely because, in relative terms, they have so much exterior and so little interior; no part of them is far enough from the surface to trap much heat.
Male hummingbirds use their flying prowess, along with their iridescent plumage, to impress the opposite sex. As a female watches, a male Allen´s hummingbird will dive and pull up repeatedly, pausing at the top of his arc to quiver alluringly. After such a big buildup, the act of mating itself lasts only a few seconds. This brief tryst is the only time that males and females of most species spend together.
Using spider cobwebs as a glue, females build nests that could be mistaken for a slight thickening of a tree´s branch. Hummingbirds typically lay two small eggs, which in fact are larger than most other bird eggs in proportion to the mother´s size.
Because hummingbirds fly solo rather than in flocks, their movements are hard to track. Tracing the precise route of a migrating hummingbird is especially hard--to date, in fact, it´s been impossible. "The birds are too small to carry a radio collar and too small to follow," says Gayle Brown. As a result, researchers catch and band hummingbirds, and then hope for the best.
"One bird we banded during the breeding season on Vancouver Island was recaptured a few weeks later in southern New Mexico," she says. A year later almost to the day, the same bird reappeared on Vancouver Island. "I knew its leg-band number by heart," she says. "When I saw the number on that bird and realized it had been to New Mexico and then Mexico and back since the last time I´d held it in my hand--I just couldn´t believe it."
Hummingbirds live largely on sugary nectar that their grooved tongues extract from the corollas of flowers. Nectar is an almost explosively digestible fuel. We humans equate sugar with junk food because it gives us a quick jolt of energy and then is gone. But that´s exactly what hummingbirds need: a quick hit of energy, then another a few minutes later, then another and another.
To add some protein and other nutrients to their diet, hummingbirds also feed occasionally on insects and spiders. And sometimes, they even pick up salt from the faces of startled birdwatchers. "They do have a salt problem," says long-time hummingbird researcher Bill Calder, professor of ecology at the University of Arizona. "I´ve had one fly up to me and French-kiss me."
Recently, Calder has been studying how hummingbirds maintain their weight so precisely. By using an electronic balance as a perch, he has measured how much nectar captive birds sip each time they feed. "Breeding males seem to keep their weight just shy of starvation," he says. "They have energy reserves for only about an hour of running time." The advantage, he surmises, is that this leaves them light enough to accelerate quickly on the wing.
But if the birds maintain only about an hour´s worth of energy reserves, how do they rest? Hummingbirds do not starve overnight, when they are inactive, mainly because sleep requires much less energy than do flying and foraging. Thanks to a lower pulse and body temperature, an hour of the birds´ "running time" can stretch to a night´s worth of sleeping time. As a sort of insurance, the creatures tend to "top off" their energy reserves by indulging in a burst of late-afternoon feeding.
Hummingbirds preparing to migrate handle food and rest in a different way, however. They have to, says Raul K. Suarez, a zoologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara: "The Gulf of Mexico is a habitat that doesn´t have many flowering plants." Through evolution, the birds´ metabolic machinery has become fine-tuned to cope with such temporary food shortages.
To prepare for what can be a nonstop, nearly 24-hour flight, a hummingbird begins rapidly converting the carbohydrates it takes in--the sugars in nectar--to fat, which is an animal´s most efficient form of energy storage. Hummingbirds have evolved the ability to "regulate the rate at which they gain fat and the rate at which they burn it, which is something we humans have a hard time doing," says Suarez. In order to accomplish this, the birds may rely on an inherent ability: They may automatically slow their metabolism during sleep beyond their normal slowdown into a condition called torpor--a nocturnal version of hibernation.
While in such a state of torpor, a blue-throated hummingbird´s heart rate, for example, may drop from a fluttery resting pulse of 21 beats per second to little more than one lethargic beat every two seconds. Its body temperature plummets, and its breathing almost stops. The payoff for the hummingbird is that it may use just one-fiftieth as much energy as it would otherwise. "Torpor is a way for small animals with a high body temperature and metabolic rate to save energy," says Sara Hiebert, a biologist at Swarthmore College.
The conventional wisdom among experts is that hummingbirds rely on torpor mainly during emergencies--when food has been scarce and they´re running low on body fat. But while studying migratory rufous hummingbirds recently, Hiebert found that fat birds can use torpor as a quick way to get fatter. By slowing down their nightly metabolism, they gain body mass more quickly--sometimes doubling their weight--in preparation for their long flights south.
In another study, Hiebert cut back the rations she gave to captive hummingbirds for a week or two. "All of a sudden, I noticed, they started using torpor, and they´d be putting on body mass," she says. Somehow, the researcher suspects, a physiological switch is thrown that directs the animal´s body to bulk up in anticipation of continued hard times, such as during spring after the hummingbird molts. "It was Jenny Craig´s nightmare," adds Hiebert. "You´re putting them on a diet, and they´re gaining weight!"
Writer Doug Stewart shares his Massachusetts habitat with migrating ruby-throated hummingbirds.

It is my understanding that all makeup has always contained minerals. Talc and mica are some of the oldest used ones, but mineral colorants are also. If I recall correctly, the ancient Egyptians ground up Lapis Lazuli and Malachite to make blue and green eyeshadow. These days, that approach is cost prohibitive, so synthetic colorants are used unless the natural mineral colorants are cheaper (and still safe to use).
The word "mineral" in the name of the makeup is just marketing, IMO. I have not tried any of them, but I suspect they are pretty much like most other cosmetics.

Corrie star set to star in gangland film directed by Romford brothers
PUBLISHED: 12:00 12 July 2014
Legendary Corrie star Bruce Jones has stepped off the cobbles and on to the big screen as he stars in Looters, Tooters and Sawn-off Shooters.
Jones, 61, was on our screens in ITV's soap opera Coronation Street, as lovable Les Battersby for 10 years. But has since returned to his roots by taking on the role of Roy, in the new movie made by up and coming Romford directors, Paul and Darren King, also known as the King brothers (see pages 2&3).
He said: "I think these guys really do have something. The script is amazing and I think if this is what they can do on a low budget, what will they be able to do if they make it big!"
Bruce has appeared in commercials as well as other movies such as the 90s comedy film Twenty Four Seven, before he entered the world of the Street.
It was when he sat down in a pub with a casting agent late one night, that he was told he would be given the opportunity of a lifetime.
He said: "I was told it was Coronation Street and I was like, 'this family is never going to fit in to that show!' And for the first two years it was hell for the family as no one liked them.
"But once they were portrayed a bit better, it was like Heaven.
"Every time I would go into the pub I wouldn't have to buy a drink as people offered to buy me one for just playing Les."
Bruce decided to take a step back from the Street so he could widen his horizons in acting.
He said: "I just felt like I didn't want to be typecast and that I wanted to do something different.
"I adore Les. He is such a great character to play and every scene was either sad or funny so it was never dull."
Then when he heard of Looters... , Bruce jumped at the chance to appear in the film and looks forward to its release.
He said: "This film is not only a gangster movie, it has a great story.
"It has a sense of morality and I think it has a lot to offer."

Nevada Space Grant
High-Altitude Ballooning
Site Navigation:
We use a long J-Pole antenna on the secondary communication
payload. Since the secondary communications payload is transmitting on
the national APRS frequency, the goal is to "hit" as many gates as
possible so that the payload location can be tracked on www.findu.com. If we cannot keep
up with the balloon during the chase, we log into findu.com and read
the last known packet location. History has shown that we usually the
last packet to show up on findu.com is about 1000-2000 feet off the
ground, even in very remote parts of Nevada. While not perfect, in a
worst-case senario this would minimize the area we need to search for
the payload.
The J-pole is made from 300 Ohm twin-lead cable from Radio
Shack. We've had two J-poles break during landing, but they are very
easy to make. Just Google "twin lead j-pole" and you'll find several
good articles on how to construct one (which takes about 30 minutes). This article is for a dual band J-Pole, but
Figure 1 shows the dimensions for a 144 MHz only version.

Pioneer High School graduated 361 students Friday evening, the largest class of Patriots to date.
The ceremony was bittersweet for outgoing principal Kerry Callahan, who will be leaving the school to become assistant superintendent of educational services for the Western Placer School District on July 1. She's been Pioneer's principal since 2009 and called the class of 2014 the "bookends" of her time at the high school.
"You trailblazed Pioneer High School's transformation, putting it on the map," she said. During her tenure, Pioneer's API rose 59 points, CAHSEE passage rates increased by 12 percent, while AP passage rates increased by 14 percent. "What a great ride it's been."
Callahan recited some lessons learned from the class of 2014, and noted how "the Rose Parade has nothing on this class's floats."
The graduating seniors have won "best homecoming float" since sophomore year.
"Now go be the dream and make our world a better place," she concluded.
Woodland Joint Unified School Superintendent Debra LaVoi, who announced her retirement earlier this year, also addressed the graduates.
"Success is about learning," LaVoi said. "Don't define or categorize people as being strong or weak, successful or failure. ... Think of people in groups of learners and non-learners. Successful people are always learners.
The class of 2014 had two valedictorians and two salutatorians, Robia Amjad, Jordan Fredericksen, Micaela Emmalee Unda and Andrew Clark Walton, respectively.
Unda led the Pledge of Allegiance, while Walton serenaded the crowd with the National Anthem on electric guitar.
Amjad spoke to her class, saying that learning is not about just diplomas and degrees, it's about experimenting with the unknown, breaking out of the boundaries of the classroom, Woodland and beyond.
"You did it. We made it. Woo!" said Fredericksen. "This day is about you. ... If you want to celebrate by throwing tortillas in the air or doing roller coasters in your chair, do it.
"Never succumb to being the puppet of someone else's will. Never forget your life is about you. ... The world isn't ready for us!"
Student speaker Channah Harris told her peers "I look forward to seeing what our class does in the big bad world."
Student-elected faculty speaker Laura Nielsen shared many inside-jokes with the class during her speech.
"Never has there been a class with such vision," she said. "You, class of 2014, are amazing."
Graduate Karen Ortega gave a beautiful performance of "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver. Before Ruby Ellen Peterson passed the gavel to Julia Wickstrom, Class President Nicole Kathleen Nordstrom presented the senior class gifts.
Among them was a penny under each student's seat, though one classmate shouted that he got a nickel.
"The penny is a representation of our time together," she explained. "When these pennies are spent together they have the most value. ... Remember the impact it makes as we put them together as the class of 2014."
Unlike last year's graduation, which reached reported temperatures between 103 and 111 degrees in Woodland, Friday's commencement reached a milder high of 88 degrees. Angelica Farias, MariaLuisa Lares, David Scolari and Ana Solorio presented graduates with diplomas before the class of 2014 went out with a bang, literally.
An explosion of black and gold metallic streamers shot over the graduates at the closing of the ceremony, a fitting way, it seems, for the 2014 class to take its leave.

'Bigger, better and busier': When The Star spoke, people listened
Aggressive reporting by The Star has influenced elections, forced the departure of police chiefs and once prompted rumrunners to grab a Star photographer and bind him in chains, with plans to dispatch him to a Detroit River grave.
"STAR MAN KIDNAPPED," the 1929 headline screamed, recounting how Horace Wild, who had been part of a Border Cities Star campaign to expose the rum-running trade as an unsavoury criminal enterprise, had barely escaped being murdered by American thugs loath to have their identities revealed in a newspaper. His son Noel, 16, who had been released by the rumrunners, ran to flag down police, who interceded as Wild was being loaded onto a boat.
It's just one example of The Star taking on a fight for the sake of the community, says retired Star columnist and local historian and author Marty Gervais, who believes the newspaper's influence in Windsor has been "tremendous."
The spirit of making this community great was planted with the arrival in 1918 of W.F. Herman, who bought the Windsor Record and transformed it into The Border Cities Star with the promise to make this area "bigger, better and busier."
In fact, an early mission of the newspaper was the amalgamation of the communities of Sandwich, Windsor, Walkerville and Ford City, a campaign maintained by a barrage of editorials and columns. As the most affluent of the communities, Walkerville had little reason to join with its poorer cousins, but Walkerville mayor Russell Farrow was convinced to go along with the idea largely thanks to his friendship with the Herman family, Gervais said.
"In the end he became the biggest fan of it and said it had to happen. If it wasn't for him and The Windsor Star, I don't think amalgamation ever would have taken place so easily."
When the four communities became the City of Windsor in 1935, the Border Cities Star became The Windsor Daily Star.
In the ensuing years, The Star was at the forefront covering soldiers and their families during the Second World War, a scandal over rampant vice in the 1950s that forced the replacement of the police commission and its chief, passage of the Auto Pact which led to major auto investment, the introduction of casino gambling, and multiple elections at the municipal, provincial and federal levels.
"Even more recently," The Star's influence has been huge, said Gervais. He cited the newspaper's reporting of alleged police coverups which led to the retirement in 2011 of Chief Gary Smith, the library's credit card fiasco involving Coun. Al Maghnieh and library CEO Barry Holmes, and reporting on the attempts by the Ambassador Bridge ownership to defeat construction of a new competing bridge.
"I think if you start looking at just recent stuff, you're going to find all sorts of influences," said Gervais.
Investigative and in-depth reporting has been a hallmark of The Star since the 1970s, when newspapers began concentrating less on the spot news — crime and car crashes — that had been their bread and butter and focusing more on reporting that effected change, said retired Star publisher Jim Bruce.
Teams of journalists worked for long periods on projects like Our Failing Schools, an expose of the educational system that caused a huge outcry among the local school board administrations. There was also a multi-story report on shift work that was especially poignant given the large number of shift workers in the Windsor area. It won a National Newspaper Award. Another NNA winner was Our Troubled Children, an in-depth examination into why this area had the highest proportion of child welfare cases.
Bruce, who started in the newsroom in 1964 and retired as publisher in 1997, recalled during the 1990s The Star won the Western Ontario Newspaper Awards investigative reporting award four years in a row.
Bruce believes all those reports were very well read and had a true effect.
"It is a real strength of this newspaper, to give the in-depth, behind-the-story kind of coverage."
As a city hall administrator who sometimes fell under the critical eye of The Star's columnists and editorial writers, Ed Agnew "sure as hell didn't agree with everything that was printed," but he acknowledges the huge influence the paper wielded.
Prior to municipal elections, the paper's columnists issued "report cards" that graded the mayor and members of council. And based on those grades, "you could almost select who were going to be winners based on who was endorsed by The Star," he said.
A "prime example" of The Star's influence was its criticism of mayor Dave Burr, who served just one term in the 1980s when he was hounded by columnists over lacklustre leadership and support for a wave pool as a tourism booster. "I'm not saying The Star was wrong," said Agnew, who worked at city hall 43 years, serving under 10 mayors. "Maybe that's the job of the media, is to report it as they see it."
He recalls in the 1970s a proposal to build a major hotel on the riverfront at Ouellette Avenue was opposed by only two council members, Bert Weeks and Roy Battagello, but The Star got on their side. And after much controversy, the majority of council joined in and the plan was defeated. "That was monumental," Agnew said, of the long-standing dream — now realized — of creating a continuous riverfront park.
But Agnew also believes The Star took the wrong side on some issues. It rarely supported local unions, he said. And the paper was a thorn in the side of Weeks, whom Agnew considers the best mayor — excluding the current mayor — he's ever worked for.
Weeks' daughter Elaine said it was because her dad was a member of the CCF, the predecessor of the NDP, that his periodic mayoral campaigns over three decades were opposed by The Star. "The Windsor Star was not his friend, shall we say," she said. Her father squeaked into the mayor's chair largely due to a freak snowstorm that kept many voters away in 1975. He eventually served three terms before retiring.
Coun. Al Halberstadt sometimes feels the paper's power is overestimated.
For example, The Star has rarely endorsed the NDP (except once in the early 1970s when the paper was the first daily in Canada to endorse the party), yet there's been a history of strong NDP showings locally, both federally and provincially, he noted.
For decades, The Star was strongly supportive of the Liberals, Gervais said. Cabinet minister Paul Martin Sr. was "really good friends with people at The Star," and the Liberals had a political stranglehold on the area, with three cabinet ministers from this area. Gervais believes the newspaper's backing of an automotive trade deal — which would have a huge impact on jobs and the economy locally — had a direct effect on Martin hammering out the Auto Pact. "I believe it came down to the relationship that Paul Martin had with this newspaper."
But the influence wielded by the paper goes beyond the news coverage and columns, said Chris Edwards, who with Elaine Weeks are local historians who operate the Walkerville Times. The letters to the editor and the announcement sections are places where readers themselves can exert influence because they're so well read.
"People always look at them," said Edwards. "What would they do if people didn't have that?"
The Star's coverage was perhaps most important to the community during times of war, when the entire city grabbed the paper to find out the latest — and with multiple editions, the reporting was almost as immediate as it is now on windsorstar.com — news from the battlefields.
"SCOTTISH AT DIEPPE" was the blood-red headline atop the front page of the Aug. 20, 1942 edition, the first news that the Windsor-based regiment was in the "vanguard of attack on Dieppe, engaging enemy in fierce hand-to-hand fighting on streets of French city."
The following days the reports became increasingly alarming as the toll on the community became clear: of the 553 who set out from England for the Aug. 19 raid, 121 were killed and most of the rest were taken prisoner. Just 53 made it back.
As telegraphs arrived at hundreds of local homes, the paper published story after story of young men killed or missing in action. The Star newsroom was flooded with calls from family and friends of victims. The entire city was in shock.
"The war came grimly to Windsor," an Aug. 21 headline stated. By Aug. 24, the lists and photos and stories took up multiple pages. An editorial a week after the raid described the terrible toll on Windsor as "nothing short of appalling."
But government censors quickly clamped down, prohibiting the publication of names of soldiers missing in action. Families were frantic for news. So The Star arranged for Canadian Press war correspondent Ross Munro, who had witnessed the carnage, to come to Windsor and provide the families with some comfort. (The same censorship rules prevented him from providing many details.) More than 15,000 shocked and worried Windsorites attended that Jackson Park event.
Because of this region's relative isolation from the rest of Ontario, because The Star has been the region's only daily newspaper, and because of The Star's long-standing tradition of covering local news "like a blanket," readers really embraced the newspaper, according to Bruce.
"The Windsor Star has always been and will always be the paper of record," for this community, he said.
Shortly after the war, The Star made it a mission — along with a citizen committee headed by the future mayor Bert Weeks — to expose the vice (gambling, prostitution, blind pigs and bootleggers) — operating with impunity in such areas of the city as Pitt Street, a stone's throw from the newspaper's office at Pitt and Ferry.
"All of this was going on and The Windsor Star went on a campaign to put an end to this, and did," said Gervais. In the ensuing scandal that painted local police as complicit in the barely-below-the-surface criminal activity, the provincial government stepped in. The chief and deputy chief as well as almost the entire police commission was swept out, replaced by a "tough as nails" OPP officer who brought back law and order.
"The influence (of The Star) was great," said Gervais. "And it was pretty direct."

A journey to Weymouth in Dorset reveals not only what the Olympics mean to England's outlying cities financially, but also how this international event changes communities forever.
Situated about three hours south of London by car, Dorset is a seaside resort region – an escape for weary city dwellers and a special day out for the UK's village dwellers. But, when the UK began its seven-year ramp up to host the 2012 Games, it was clear the town of Weymouth had the perfect conditions to host the Summer Olympics' sailing events.
Weymouth sits in the southernmost portion of Dorset along England's southwestern coast. Situated between Cornwall and Land's End at the the very bottom of the country to the west and Torquay in the English Riviera to the east, Weymouth and its neighboring community of Portland were always famous for their shale beaches and limestone quarries. The stone used to build Buckingham Palace came from Portsmouth – as did some of the rock holding the United Nations together in New York.
However, the region is known worldwide for The Jurassic Coast – a World Heritage Site featuring millions of fossils anyone can collect and take home. A seven foot long Pliosaur skull discovered on the beaches in 2010 now sits in a nearby museum.
Now, Weymouth is at the center of the Olympic sailing world for the next several days as its perfect conditions host the entirety of the Games' mix of wind and water. The seaside village is situated on a sheltered bay at the mouth of the River Wey, and the surrounding hillsides channel powerful gusts into the natural bowl – forging perfect sailing conditions.
To show off what the community managed to put together for the event, local officials rounded up journalists on hand to cover the athletics for a tour of the new Weymouth and Portland.
According to Jacqui Gisborne, Dorset area representative for VisitEngland and a veteran sailor herself, More than £250 million went into the region over the last seven years to get the town on its feet.
That money built an Olympic residence for sailors and their families. It built new slips and other aquatic infrastructure. Those improvement meant that Olympic sailors have been moving to and living in Weymouth for years now practicing for these games.
Most importantly for the longterm profitability of the region, a pile of pounds sterling went into the new Weymouth Sea Life Tower – a 165 ft. elevating and rotating tower ride offering 360 degree views of Weymouth Quay and the surrounding resort.
The hope is that tower will give fans a good view of the Olympic sailing during the games, while serving as a yearlong tourist attraction after the Olympic move on to different horizons.
The Games have transformed what was a quant, tourist-friendly resort town into a more modern spot on the UK map. Of course, not everyone was excited about that change.
"There were some who were resistant to the change, as there always are," Gisborne said during the Weymouth Olympic sailing tour. "But this is an exciting time for this city – to have the world's sailing eye focused on Weymouth."
On that particular day of sailing, British eyes winced as news came down their 2008 Gold Medalist Paul Goodison was banged up with injuries that were almost certain to sink him in 2012.
And, as bad luck would have it, Weymouth blipped on the Olympic radar again today as a 17-year-old boy from the town was arrested and issued a warning for "malicious communications" for telling 18-year-old British swimmer Tom Daley that he let his dead father (Rob Daley) down.
After coming fourth in the men's synchronized 10m platform diving event yesterday, Daley received a Tweet saying he betrayed the memory of a father lost to brain cancer. Though the still anonymous alleged Tweeter since apologized for the message, he's still in police custody now.
It was an ugly sideshow to the week's sailing action in Weymouth. But, when you step onto the world stage for the Olympics, strange things can happen to small towns.

Although I was in my early 40's, my breasts looked like those of someone in their 60's or older because of sagging. I had very large breasts all my life and always wished to have smaller, perkier breasts.
Dr. G did an outstanding job with my breast reduction/lift. I was a difficult case. I was a cup size F and had very significant sagging. I also had a benign fibrous growth that was entwined around the nerves in one nipple and was causing me pain. Dr. G was very clear in communicating the difficulty of removing the growth and the potential complications that could occur. He exceeded my expectations by successfully removing the growth with no complications. He was able to reduce my nipple size as I had desired and the breast reduction and lift turned out beautifully. I could not be any happier!

Catchings savors Olympics gold; looking forward to new WNBA season
Olympic gold medalist Tamika Catchings is back home from London and turning her focus to the Indiana Fever.
She's still reeling from winning her third gold medal in London with the US women's basketball team. Catchings showed off her medal Wednesday at Banker's Life Fieldhouse.
"My first experience was back in 2004 and I was one of the youngest ones on the team, so I was the rookie. And basically being the rookie, you're one of the youngest; you don't say anything. You just kind of go out there, you play, you practice and you don't say a word. Then in 2008 you're able to say a little bit more but you gotta be careful. And then this year, obviously just being more of a leader vocally and even by the way that I play," she said, describing her transition on the Olympic team over the years.
Tamika says each time was different, but all of her Olympic appearances were "a lot of fun."
Eyewitness Sports asked her what she plans to do with her medal. "It's too heavy to wear! It's limited wear time. For me, I got all three of them and put them in a safe deposit box." They're only taken out for special occasions, including a Sept. 1 event. "I'm not at home enough to have them out lying around."
Tamika doesn't mind showing off her gold medal - even on the plane ride home from London, she said the pilot and flight staff came out and posed for pictures with her while she wore it. "A lot of people touched it; some people I let wear it. I realize the importance of what this means. It's one of those things that kind of brings unity because everybody knows what a gold medal is," she said.
As far as Rio goes, Tamika says "we'll have to see what happens" and that four years to the next Olympics is a long way off.
The Fever season picks up again Thursday night at Banker's Life Fieldhouse against the Washington Mystics. The team will honor Catchings in a pre-game ceremony.

Marshall Falls To No. 5 West Virginia, 42-10
Sept. 2, 2006
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Steve Slaton ran for 203 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead No. 5 West Virginia past Marshall 42-10 on Saturday.
Slaton, the nation's top freshman in 2005 with 19 rushing TDs, had his second straight 200-yard game. He set a Sugar Bowl record with 204 yards in a win over Georgia in January. His 33 carries Saturday were one shy of a career high.
Slaton was the backbone of the nation's fourth-best rushing attack last season and the sophomore tore up Marshall (0-1) in just the second meeting between the state's two Division I-A schools since 1923.
West Virginia (1-0), which is 6-0 all-time against Marshall, scored on four of its first five possessions and totaled 312 rushing yards.
Slaton surpassed 100 yards early in the second quarter and had 140 by halftime.
He had a 14-yard TD run around right end midway through the first quarter and scored untouched from 16 yards out after making a hard cut to the right late in the half for a 28-7 lead.
Slaton also had a 10-yard TD run negated by a holding penalty in the second quarter.
West Virginia, whose ranking was its highest to start a season, opened its normally quiet passing game a bit, too. Pat White completed 10-of-14 passes for 168 yards.
He found Brandon Myles with first-half TD tosses of 8 and 18 yards as West Virginia built a 21-0 lead. It was the first career multiple TD game for Myles, a senior.
Marshall, limited to just seven first downs in the first half, went to its passing game late in the second quarter for its only touchdown.
Freshman tight end Cody Slate caught passes of 26 and 14 yards to give Marshall its best field position at the WVU 25.
Matt Morris then made up for a dropped pass in the end zone earlier in the game by grabbing a 21-yard TD toss from Bernie Morris. The pass initially was ruled incomplete but Marshall challenged and the play was overturned for a touchdown.
Morris and Slate helped make up for the loss of two other receivers. Hiram Moore was suspended for the game after a drunken driving arrest last month and the 6-foot-6 Shawn Lauzon was lost for the season with a hip injury in preseason practice.
West Virginia fullback Owen Schmitt scored on a 3-yard run midway through the third quarter to cap a 66-yard drive that was set up by an interception by freshman Quinton Andrews.
WVU backup quarterback Jarrett Brown closed the scoring on a 7-yard TD run with 1:13 left in the game.
Marshall is 1-7 against ranked opponents since returning to Division I-A in 1997.
The animosity between the teams showed from the start. Two personal fouls were called on each team in the game's first four plays.

Coming to a street near you... new businesses set up shop in Albany
Mon, 24 Jun 2013 20:23:29 GMT —
612 Albany businesses closed in 2012 including some popular names like Johnny Carino's and multiple Winn-Dixie Locations, but the economy may finally be on the mend after numerous stores broke ground in the past week.
Included in the list of businesses coming to town is a 45,000 square foot Gander Mountain outdoors store, an Ulta beauty supply shop, PetSmart, Kaufmann Tire, Party City and a new Waffle House location.
Albany-Dougherty Economic Development Commission President Ted Clem says these big names will have a huge impact on the economy, including to the existing businesses as many people will drive from outside of town and make a full day of shopping and dining in Albany.
City Commissioner Bob Langstaff says this news is exciting because as other businesses see each other investing in Albany, even more names like Best Buy may begin to look at the town as well to see what it has to offer.
Officials say Albany has a lot of potential and is a great hub for shopping, so it only makes sense that more stores are setting up shop on the heavily-traveled roads.
When asked "Why Albany?" Gander Mountain representatives responded saying, "the decision to come to Albany was made after careful consideration of the community as a regional center in southwest Georgia, and knowing the region's love for the outdoors. Folks in Georgia cherish their time outdoors, passing down traditions in things like hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, boating and other fun from generation to generation. Combine all of that with a vibrant growing community and the warm welcome we've already received from the local business community and the mayor, and long before the doors have opened, Albany is looking like the next great place for Gander Mountain to call home."
The outdoor outfitter, PetSmart and Party City have all begun construction at their locations on Dawson Road and Development Services Senior Manager Tracy Hester says although he can't confirm names, other businesses are also showing interest in Albany so you may see even more construction in the upcoming months.

AMI Monetary Reform Conference
The Conference brings together some of the world's most serious advocates of real and achievable monetary reforms.
The banking disaster, created and facilitated by false economic and monetary ideas, used by some very bad people, actually poses a real danger to the survival of the species. We must transform the ongoing disaster into an opportunity to achieve real and lasting monetary reforms for mankind. These are the reforms indicated as necessary by decades of study and centuries of experience.
The Bioneers Conference - Revolution from the heart of nature
Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature's principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society.

The goal is to launch a platform for systemic change -- economically, culturally, politically -- and to network organizations for collaborative efforts in that pursuit.
10th Annual AMI Monetary Reform Conference
The Monetary Reforms
The main focus of the conference will be for researchers to describe and make the case for the kind of monetary
reforms advocated, presenting both the logical and historical basis for them, and the mechanics of implementing them.
Extensive question and answer periods and panel discussions can air doubts or concerns regarding the desirability of
the reforms and suggest refinements. Included will be discussions of research and thinking methodology.
Achieving the Reforms – What we can do now
Common Bound - Moving Together Toward a New Economy
In the spirit of our 'Strategies for a New Economy' conference at Bard College in 2012, and our 'ReRoute: Building Youth and Student Power for a New Economy" convergence at New York University in 2013, we will be bringing together a diverse group of the New Economy's most energetic thinkers, practitioners, and newcomers. We intend to share practices, tools, and stories; highlight achievements; and create an environment that propels existing work and powerful innovations forward.
Worker National Cooperative Conference
400+ inspired participants. Dozens – even hundreds – of worker cooperatives in all stages, from concept, to conversion, to growth. The U.S.'s leading lenders, funders, educators, and businesses supporting the cooperative economy. International guests bringing their wisdom and perspectives.
Creative Alternatives to Capitalism Conference
Much store is now put upon the idea that capitalism can recover its elan and exit the grumbling crisis that now besets it through the construction of a cognitive, creative and ethical capitalism that rests on the activities of so-called creative classes. We dispute this thesis and aim to show how an alternative to capitalism is not only possible but necessary if a better, more democratic and more socially just future is to be procured for all. To this end, we bring together creative thinkers and practitioners from around the world who are exploring alternatives outside the imprisoning box of conventional capitalist thinking. An anti-capitalist alternative is already in the making. Our aim is to mark and celebrate its creative possibilities.
Jackson Rising: The New Economies Conference
The New Economies Conference will focus on how the City of Jackson can and will start building the city of the future today through the inclusion of cooperatives and other forms of wealth creation based on the principles of solidarity, participatory democracy, and economic and social equity. With visionary leadership and strong community support, not only can we diversify and grow the economy of Jackson, but we can make Jackson a model center of cooperative and business development in the country.
The New Economies Conference will start this development process by focusing on the following:

Notes: All-Star voting heating up
Tigers notes: All-Star voting heating up
In the final balloting update released on Tuesday, Ivan Rodriguez saw his deficit to Boston's Jason Varitek jump from around 27,000 votes to just over 42,000. It remains the closest race for a starting position, but it's not as close as it was a week ago, and there's not much time left to erase the gap. Online balloting at MLB.com ends Thursday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
None of the other Tigers position players made up much ground, either. Placido Polanco remains fifth among AL second basemen, while Chris Shelton seems to have settled into sixth place at first base. Magglio Ordonez is again a surprisingly weak 12th among AL outfielders.
With that in mind, the Tigers will have to look for help in balloting among players, coaches and managers to determine most of the pitching and reserve spots. Even that, however, is no guarantee. Minnesota's Joe Mauer has built a strong case to make the roster as the second catcher, even though he's third in fan balloting.
Some Tigers will make it, of course. The question is whether more than one will.
Manager Jim Leyland won't reveal his entire ballot, but he's not shy about one particular player he's pushing. Not only did he vote for setup man and part-time closer Fernando Rodney, he recommended Rodney to White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen when the two happened to be talking before a game in Chicago earlier this month.
"I just felt like his quality has been unnoticed," Leyland said. "I think he's been fantastic. When [Todd Jones] was out, he was fantastic, and he's been fantastic ever since. But I doubt that he'll make it."
That's about as far as Leyland will go to put in a good word for a player in terms of All-Star consideration. He won't lobby hard, because he knows how difficult it is as an All-Star manager to pick a team. When he managed the NL All-Stars in 1998, he spent two months looking at potential selections and trying to make out a roster.
"You're always going to have somebody mad at you when it comes down to the extra player," Leyland said.
Santiago at second: Leyland had originally planned on resting Polanco for Wednesday's series finale so he could pair it up with Thursday's off-day. He later changed his mind because he wanted Polanco to face left-hander Andy Pettitte, who starts for Houston in the series finale.
Polanco, however, is batting .208 this season against lefties, compared to .316 versus right-handers. His skill against southpaws is better seen over his career numbers; his .321 Major League average versus lefties entering Tuesday is 30 points higher than against righties.
"The average doesn't show it obviously," Leyland said, "but I didn't want to sit Polly against the left-hander."
Ramon Santiago, 2-for-7 lifetime against Roger Clemens, started in Polanco's place Tuesday.
Back behind the plate: Eric Munson and Brandon Inge were considered the future of the Tigers three years ago, only at different positions. Munson, a catcher in college at USC, was on his second position switch, becoming a regular third baseman. Inge, a shortstop and closer in college, was the regular catcher.
Neither one quite made it there, but they've found new life switching spots. Inge is now Detroit's everyday third baseman, and a surprisingly adept one at that. Munson, non-tendered by the Tigers after the 2004 season and cut the Twins after that, has resurfaced in Houston as a backup catcher.
Munson realizes the irony.
"It's crazy how it works out," Munson. "That's baseball."
Maroth rehab continues: Mike Maroth stretched out his throwing session from 60 to 90 feet Tuesday as he works his arm back into shape following surgery to remove bone chips last month. No official timetable has been released on his return, though case history suggests he could be back in August or September.
Mohr outfield help at Toledo: The Tigers have signed well-traveled Major League outfielder Dustan Mohr to a Minor League contract. He's expected to report to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old right-handed batter became a free agent last week after declining a Minor League assignment from the Red Sox. He batted .175 (7-for-40) this season for Boston, his fourth team in as many years. He has also played for the Rockies and Giants after spending the first three seasons of his career in Minnesota.
Coming up: The Tigers finish their homestand Wednesday with a 1:05 p.m. ET matinee against the Astros. Justin Verlander (9-4, 3.39 ERA) will try to join Kenny Rogers in the 10-win club. Andy Pettitte (6-8, 5.75 ERA) will start for Houston.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Taipei, Taiwan, 2016/05/31 - Snapdragon Wear 1100 SoC Ideal for Connected Kid and Elderly Watches; New Reference Platforms Support Fast Development Time; New OEM Products Bring Innovative Experiences to Consumers - Qualcomm.com. NASDAQ: QCOM
Qualcomm Incorporated today announced at COMPUTEX 2016 that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., is introducing the new Qualcomm® Snapdragon Wear 1100 processor for the fast growing targeted-purpose wearables segments such as connected kid and elderly watches, fitness trackers, smart headsets, and wearable accessories. The Snapdragon Wear 1100 processor complements the Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, which is designed for multi-purpose wearables, and joins the Snapdragon Wear product family.
Snapdragon Wear 1100: Designed for Targeted-purpose Wearable Devices
Snapdragon Wear 1100 is designed for the next generation of targeted-purpose wearable segments where consumers are demanding a smaller size, longer battery life, smarter sensing, secure location, and an always connected experience. This processor excels in meeting these requirements with low power features such as Power Save Mode (PSM), industry leading compact packages, and next gen Cat 1 modem with LTE/3G global band support.
The Snapdragon Wear 1100 also features an integrated applications processor for Linux-based applications and scales to support voice, Wi-Fi®, and Bluetooth®, thus supporting a seamlessly connected experience. Additionally, the Snapdragon Wear 1100 incorporates the Qualcomm® iZat integrated location engine to offer enhanced accuracy and power optimization through such features as multi-GNSS, cell-ID positioning, and ability to support applications that utilize geo-fencing for safety monitoring. Integrated in the chipset are the hardware cryptographic engine, HW random number generator, and TrustZone, which supports a highly secure environment for consumers. Snapdragon Wear 1100 is commercially available and shipping today.
We are excited to have established a technology leadership position in the highly innovative wearables ecosystem, where the breadth of products and our connectivity, location and compute solutions bring differentiation to our customers, said Anthony Murray, senior vice president and general manager, IoT, Qualcomm Technologies International, Ltd. We are delighted to add Snapdragon Wear 1100 to our Snapdragon Wear family, thus making it easier for customers to develop connected wearables with targeted use cases such as kid and elderly tracking. We are actively working with the broader ecosystem to accelerate wearables innovation and are excited to announce a series of customer collaborations today.
New Reference Platforms Support Fast Development Time
Qualcomm Technologies announced a series of collaborations with Aricent, Borqs, Infomark, and SurfaceInk who showcased reference platforms based on Snapdragon Wear 2100 and Snapdragon Wear 1100. These platforms represent reference implementations targeting the kid and elderly watch segment and enable OEMs to commercialize in an accelerated fashion.
Aricent is thrilled to collaborate with Qualcomm Technologies and take the Snapdragon 1100 SoC into the consumer wearables segment from gameplay, wellness and safety, said Walid Negm, chief technology officer, Aricent. Combining the Aricent ADAPT Wearable Platform with frogs design and strategy services allows us to accelerate the creation of unique experiences that children and caretakers will enjoy. By wrapping the Snapdragon Wear 1100 with a rich set of modular capabilities such as 3G/LTE, gesture control and interactive apps we enable companies to seize opportunities at the best price and performance.
Borqs has strategically invested in IoT for smart connected wearables with tailored solutions for kids, elderly, enterprise and youth, said George Thangadurai, senior vice president of international business, Borqs. We are pleased that our close collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies as a Snapdragon Wear platform ecosystem provider has resulted in ready to commercialize innovative reference designs exploiting the leadership features of Qualcomm Technologies SoCs. Borqs is delighted that we could accelerate the launch of different wearables from our global OEM partners.
Since SK Telecoms launch of Infomarks first generation JooN Kids Watch in 2014, we have created a trend in Korea for parents to equip their kids with the JooN watch, said Dr. Choi, chief executive officer, Infomark. The JooN series of watches provides parents a means for locating and connecting with their child while minimizing the distraction and addiction from smartphones. With the adoption of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 in our design, we will launch our third generation JooN watch for SK Telecom in second half of 2016, and further expand our market to North and South America, Europe and other continents.
We are excited to team up with Qualcomm Technologies as a Snapdragon Wear platform ecosystem provider, delivering reference designs that will give our customers a head start on their product development, said Eric Bauswell, founder and chief executive officer, SurfaceInk. Our work together on WeBandz is just the tip of the iceberg, and we look forward to future products and innovation that will result from this collaboration.
OEM Products Bring Innovative Experiences to Consumers
In addition to the platform announcements, a number of OEMs launched connected kid watches at the event:
Anda Technologies announced plans to launch its kid watch, based on the Borqs reference design, for the Latin America region. As a father of two young children, I conceived the original idea of creating a symbol-based communications product out of my own need to stay emotionally connected to them throughout the day, said Jose Delmar, chief executive officer, Anda Technologies. Our Android-based connected wearable, based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, offers a plethora of unique functions, innovative design, and top of the line materials, making it unlike any other childrens wearable product available in the marketplace.
inWatch announced two kid watch SKUs, one for boys and another for girls, based on the Borqs reference design, specifically for the China region. The always-on low power consumption and small size of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 greatly increase the reliability and enhanced the design of in919, said Neo Wang, chief executive officer, inWatch. Childrens watches have two fundamental but important functions: good communication and secure location, and Qualcomm Technologies ecosystem support for the Snapdragon Wear 2100 significantly enhances these two core performances of in919.
WeBandz showed off its smart tracking modular device, based on the SurfaceInk design, which can be customized for the kid, elderly, and pet segments in the U.S. Its clear to see where the wearables market is headed, said Ryan Shapiro, founder, WeBandz. We are fortunate not only to have our hands on the best technology available for wearable tracking, but especially to be working with a great group of people within Qualcomm Technologies who share our vision for the future of wearables.
Qualcomm-based Wearable Products Hit a Milestone
Reinforcing Qualcomm Technologies product and technology leadership, the company recently announced that more than 100 wearables products are now available with processors from Qualcomm Technologies. Leading product families such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100, CSR102x Bluetooth® Smart 4.2 SoC and Qualcomm® SiRFStar location are now incorporated in a variety of innovative products across the range of smart eyewear, smart watches, smart bands, smart headsets, and smart accessories. With the launch of the Snapdragon Wear 1100, customers will now be able to bring additional connected use cases in such targeted devices as kid and elderly watches.

Grommet Launch Conversation
Hi everyone,
I am Eileen, the CEO of Coyuchi. Welcome to the launch of Coyuchi on The Grommet, we are excited to be here with you today.
Each of our products is designed to rejuvenate and inspire you and your home. The only thing we love more then organic cotton is hearing from our customers. I look forward to your questions!
Are there any special instructions for laundering the flannel robe?
Thank you,
@Marie Great Question! We recommend machine washing on the gentle or delicate cycle with cold water and a non-phosphate soap. Line dry, or tumble dry low and remove promptly.
Does the robe have sufficient material to completely cover a woman's body. Being that men are slimmer through the hips than most woman, I wonder if this was considered in the design. Thanks
@Barbara Good question! There is quite a bit of crossover across the opening at the front. Depending on the size you order, there is from 7-10" overlap across the two front panels and should work nicely for both women and men.
do they come in sizes?
@rhoda Yes. The robes come in 4 sizes. As you click into the product page of each robe there is a size chart on the bottom right of the page that will help you determine the appropriate size robe to order depending on the size you wear in other clothing.
@rhoda Yes! Depending on the robe style you choose, we offer sizes from Extra Small/Small to Large/Extra Large. On the page for each robe, once you have chosen a color it will give you the opportunity to choose size. You can then see all the sizes offered for each.
Thanks for your question and enjoy!
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

Daisuke Matsuzaka could make his 2012 debut with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, according to The Boston Globe.
Matsuzaka last pitched in the majors on May 16, 2011, and had Tommy John surgery on June 10, 2011. He has posted a 3.65 ERA in eight minor league rehab starts this season, but he lasted only 1 1/3 innings in his outing Tuesday night. The newspaper reports the team had hoped he would go three innings in what was considered a tune-up for his return to the majors Saturday.
"He didn't have a very good performance" Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine admitted to The Boston Globe.
The Red Sox have a rotation void after optioning struggling righthander Daniel Bard to Class AAA on Tuesday.
Prior to his elbow injury last season, Dice-K was 3-3 with a 5.30 ERA in eight games (seven starts). He had his best season in 2008, going 18-3 with a 2.90 ERA.
Matsuzaka is in the final season of a six-year, $52 million contract.

UConn Basketball: Shabazz Napier's Growth Now a Necessity for the HuskiesApril 16, 2012
Shabazz Napier is now the man in Storrs, Connecticut.
UConn stars Andre Drummond, Alex Oriakhi and Jeremy Lamb are gone. Michael Bradley is gone as well, meaning that once Holy Cross transfer R.J. Evans signs his letter of intent, there will be just nine Huskies on the roster for next season.
Napier took on a much bigger role and ended the season as the Huskies second-leading scorer at 13 points per game to go with 5.8 assists, while also finding his groove at the guard position.
Now he must start all over again as three of his go-to teammates are now either NBA-bound or in Missouri.
A notoriously efficient player, Napier's percentages were low due to a tough stretch during the middle of the season when he shot a combined 14-for-57 (24.6 percent) while UConn lost five of six games.
More worrisome about his performance during that stretch was that those games came against Tennessee, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Seton Hall (the lone win), Louisville and Syracuse.
A stretch like this is part of playing in the Big East, and if UConn is going to weather that schedule they will need Napier to be what he was during the Big East Tournament: himself.
In the Huskies three wins at the Big East Tournament, Napier turned in scoring numbers of 23, five and 26 points.
UConn needed him to score against Pittsburgh and West Virginia, so he did. They needed him to facilitate against DePaul, so he did (2-for-3 shooting, six assists, no turnovers).
The two newcomers, Evans and freshman Omar Calhoun, will be able to pick up some of the scoring slack that Lamb left behind. And Ryan Boatright will be in the fold for the entire year which will take a lot of pressure of Napier on the offensive end.
Napier has been exceptional at times in his career and we can only hope that this coming year will be the year he puts it all together. If he can do that, UConn will weather this storm of allegations and come out on the other side a stronger group.

Ready for a "deep dive" screencasting course?
Visit my online course at Digital-Know-How.com
You may be surprised how often I have to apply the technique above in my screencasting and eLearning projects. It's the rare thing when I can record an extemporaneous screencast tutorial perfectly with no blemishes or touches that need to be applied in the editing stage.
In fact (again!), there's a 3-second snippet beginning at 3:57 in the video above where I had to use exactly the technique I show in the video to cover up a blemish.
See if you can spot this in the video
Screenflow, Camtasia Studio, Camtasia for Macintosh: It's all good
Although I used Telestream's Screenflow (Macintosh only) to demo this technique in the video above (hmmm... come to think of it: I seem to find myself using Screenflow more and more these days...), in fact the same technique can be applied using similar features in Camtasia Studio and Camtasia Macintosh.
Can you find the video artifact?
So, take a look. Let me know if you can tell what the issue was that caused the artifact at 3:57 that I then had to cover up using the very technique we talk about in this video.
