First, don't expect a real story. At least not in the sense of "tension building to a climax and denouement." This is a series of snapshots in the interstitial period between the first two major stories. Think of it as "some conversations between Luke and Han and Leia as they had to move the rebel base from Yavin to Hoth." Interesting, but the real story began at the start of Empire Strikes Back, when the new base is discovered and there's dramatic tension again.
It's 45 pages so far. Some of the developments in these summer updates seem more important than Balder's statement would suggest. (Maybe it's just me.) Is all of this going to be included in book 2? or it's own release because it's such a different medium?

Thomas Jeffrey "Tom" Hanks is an American film actor, film director, voice-over artist, writer and film producer. Hanks worked in television and family-friendly comedies before achieving success as a dramatic actor portraying several notable roles, including Andrew Beckett in Philadelphia, the title role in Forrest Gump, Commander James A. Lovell in Apollo 13, Captain John H. Miller in Saving Private Ryan, Michael Sullivan in Road to Perdition, Sheriff Woody in Disney/Pixar's Toy Story, and Chuck Noland in Cast Away. Hanks won back-to-back Oscars for Best Actor in 1993-94 and is the third most successful actor in terms of box office totals, which exceed $3.3 billion.
Early life
Hanks was born in Concord, California. His father, Amos Mefford Hanks (born in Glenn County, California on March 4, 1924 – died in Alameda, California on January 31, 1992), was a distant relation of President Abraham Lincoln's mother Nancy Hanks. His mother, Portuguese-American Janet Marylyn Frager (born in Alameda County, California on January 18, 1932), was a hospital worker; the two divorced in 1960. The family's three oldest children, Sandra, (now Sandra Hanks Benoiton, a writer), Larry (now Lawrence M. Hanks, Ph.D., an entomology professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Tom went with their father, while the youngest, Jim, now an actor and film maker, remained with his mother in Red Bluff, California. Afterwards, both parents remarried. The first stepmother for Sandra, Larry, and Tom came to the marriage with five children of her own. Hanks once told Rolling Stone magazine: "Everybody in my family likes each other. But there were always about fifty people at the house. I didn't exactly feel like an outsider, but I was sort of outside it." That marriage ended in divorce after just 2 years.
Amos Hanks became a single parent, working long hours and relying on the children to fend for themselves often, an exercise in self-reliance that served the siblings well. In school, Hanks was unpopular with students and teachers alike, telling Rolling Stone magazine: "I was a geek, a spaz. I was horribly, painfully, terribly shy. At the same time, I was the guy who'd yell out funny captions during filmstrips. But I didn't get into trouble. I was always a real good kid and pretty responsible." In 1965, Amos Hanks married Frances Wong, a San Francisco native of Chinese descent. Frances had three children, two of whom lived with Tom during his high school years. Tom acted in school plays, including South Pacific, while attending Skyline High School in Oakland, California.
Hanks studied theater at Chabot College, and after two years, transferred to California State University, Sacramento. Hanks told the New York Times: "Acting classes looked like the best place for a guy who liked to make a lot of noise and be rather flamboyant. I spent a lot of time going to plays. I wouldn't take dates with me. I'd just drive to a theater, buy myself a ticket, sit in the seat, and read the program, and then get into the play completely. I spent a lot of time like that, seeing Bertolt Brecht, Tennessee Williams, Henrik Ibsen, and all that, and now look at me, acting is my job. I wouldn't have it any other way."
It was during his years' studying theater that Hanks met Vincent Dowling, head of the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland. At Dowling's suggestion, Hanks became an intern at the Festival, which stretched into a three-year experience that covered everything from lighting to set design to stage management. Such a commitment required that Hanks drop out of college, but with this under his belt, a future in acting was in the cards. Hanks won the Cleveland Critics Circle Award for Best Actor for his performance as Proteus in Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona, one of the few times he played a villain.
Early career
In 1979, Hanks packed his bags to New York City, where he made his film debut in the low-budget slasher film He Knows You're Alone and got a part in the television movie Mazes and Monsters. Early in 1979, Hanks was cast in the lead role of Callimaco in the Riverside Shakespeare Company's production of Niccolò Machiavelli's The Mandrake, directed by Daniel Southern. This remains Hanks' only New York stage performance to date; as a high profile Off Off Broadway showcase, the production helped Tom land an agent, Joe Ohla with the J. Michael Bloom Agency. The next year Hanks landed a lead role on the ABC television pilot of Bosom Buddies, playing the role of Kip Wilson. Hanks moved to Los Angeles, where he and Peter Scolari played a pair of young advertising men forced to dress as women so they could live in an inexpensive all-female hotel. Hanks had previously partnered with Scolari in the 1970s game show Make Me Laugh. Bosom Buddies ran for two seasons, and, although the ratings were never strong, television critics gave the program high marks. "The first day I saw him on the set," co-producer Ian Praiser told Rolling Stone, "I thought, 'Too bad he won't be in television for long.' I knew he'd be a movie star in two years." But if Praiser knew it, he was not able to convince Hanks. "The television show had come out of nowhere," best friend Tom Lizzio told Rolling Stone. "Then out of nowhere it got canceled. He figured he'd be back to pulling ropes and hanging lights in a theater."
Bosom Buddies and a guest appearance on a 1982 episode of Happy Days ("A Case of Revenge," where he played a disgruntled former classmate of The Fonz) prompted director Ron Howard to contact Hanks. Howard was working on Splash (1984), a romantic comedy fantasy about a mermaid who falls in love with a human. At first, Howard considered Hanks for the role of the main character's wisecracking brother, a role that eventually went to John Candy. Instead, Hanks got the lead role and a career boost from Splash, which went on to become a box-office hit, grossing more than US$69 million. He also had a sizable hit with the sex comedy Bachelor Party, also in 1984.
In 1983-84, Hanks made three guest appearances on Family Ties as Elyse Keaton's alcoholic brother, Ned Donnelly. Hanks also appears for a moment as an uncredited extra in the movie Real Genius (1985), when the lead character, Mitch, bumps into him in a crowd.
Period of hits and misses
Film roles followed, with Splash being his first big hit. With Nothing in Common (1986)—about a young man alienated from his parents who must re-establish a relationship with his father, played by Jackie Gleason—Hanks began to establish the credentials of not only a comic actor but of someone who could carry a serious role. "It changed my desires about working in movies", Hanks told Rolling Stone. "Part of it was the nature of the material, what we were trying to say. But besides that, it focused on people's relationships. The story was about a guy and his father, unlike, say, The Money Pit (1986), where the story is really about a guy and his house."
After three more flops, Hanks succeeded with the fantasy Big (1988), both at the box office and within the industry, establishing Hanks as a major Hollywood talent (he was awarded a Golden Globe for this movie). It was followed later that year by Punchline, in which he and Sally Field co-star as a pair of struggling stand-up comedians. Hanks's character, Steven Gold, a failing medical student trying to break into stand-up, was somewhat edgy and complex, offering a glimpse of the far more dramatic roles Hanks would master in films to come. Hanks's next project was the 1989 movie Turner and Hooch. In a 1993 issue of Disney Adventures, Hanks said, "I saw Turner and Hooch the other day in the SAC store and couldn't help but be reminiscent. I cried like a babe." He did admit to making a couple of "bum tickers," however, and blamed his "...deductive reasoning and decision making skills."
Hanks had another pile of box-office failures: The 'Burbs (1989), Joe Versus the Volcano (1990), and The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990), as a greedy Wall Street type who gets enmeshed in a hit-and-run accident.
Progression into dramatic roles
Hanks again climbed back to the top with his portrayal of an unsuccessful baseball manager in A League of Their Own (1992). Hanks admits that his acting in earlier roles was not great and that he has improved. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Hanks notes his "modern era of moviemaking ... because enough self-discovery has gone on.... My work has become less 'pretentiously fake and over the top." This "modern era" welcomed in a spectacular 1993 for Hanks, first with Sleepless in Seattle and then with Philadelphia. The former was a blockbuster success about a widower who finds true love (in the character of Meg Ryan) over the airwaves. Richard Schickel of Time called his performance "charming", and most critics agreed that his portrayal ensured him a place among the premiere romantic-comedy stars of his generation, making him bankable.
In Philadelphia, Hanks played a gay lawyer with AIDS who sues his firm for discrimination (Hanks lost thirty-five pounds and thinned his hair in order to appear sickly for the role). In a review for People, Leah Rozen stated "Above all, credit for "Philadelphia's" success belongs to Hanks, who makes sure that he plays a character, not a saint. He is flat-out terrific, giving a deeply felt, carefully nuanced performance that deserves an Oscar." Hanks won the 1993 Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Philadelphia. During his acceptance speech he revealed that his high school drama teacher Rawley Farnsworth and former classmate John Gilkerson were gay.[8] The revelation inspired the 1997 film In & Out, starring Kevin Kline as an English Literature teacher who is outed by a former student in a similar way.
Hanks followed Philadelphia with the 1994 summer hit Forrest Gump, and stated: "When I read the script for Gump, I saw it as one of those kind of grand, hopeful movies that the audience can go to and feel ... some hope for their lot and their position in life... I got that from the movies a hundred million times when I was a kid. I still do." Hanks won his second Best Actor Academy Award for his role in Forrest Gump, becoming only the second actor to have accomplished the feat of winning back-to-back Best Actor Oscars. (Spencer Tracy was the first, winning in 1937-38. Hanks and Tracy were the same age at the time they received their Academy Awards: 37 for the first and 38 for the second.)
Hanks's next project reunited him with Ron Howard in the 1995 movie Apollo 13, in which he played astronaut and commander James Lovell. Critics generally applauded the film and the performances of the entire cast, which included actors Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris, and Kathleen Quinlan. The movie also earned nine Academy Award nominations, winning two. The same year, Hanks starred in the animated blockbuster Toy Story as the voice of Sheriff Woody.
Directing, producing and acting
Hanks turned to directing with his movie That Thing You Do! about a 1960s pop group, also playing the role of a music producer. Hanks and producer Gary Goetzman went on to create Playtone, a record and film production company named for the record company in the film.
Hanks executive produced, co-wrote, and co-directed the HBO docudrama From the Earth to the Moon. The twelve-part series chronicles the space program from its inception, through the familiar flights of Neil Armstrong and Jim Lovell, to the personal feelings surrounding the reality of moon landings. The Emmy Award-winning US$68 million project was one of the most expensive ventures taken for television. Hanks' next project was no less expensive.
For Saving Private Ryan he teamed up with Steven Spielberg to make a film about D-Day, the landing at Omaha Beach, and a quest through war-torn France to bring back a soldier who has a ticket home. It earned the praise and respect of the film community, critics, and the general public; it was labeled one of the finest war films ever made, earning Spielberg his second Academy Award for direction and Hanks a Best Actor nomination. Later in 1998, Hanks re-teamed with his Sleepless in Seattle co-star Meg Ryan for another romantic comedy, You've Got Mail, a remake of 1940's The Shop Around the Corner, which starred James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan.
In 1999, Hanks starred in an adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Green Mile. He also returned as the voice of Woody in Toy Story 2. The following year he won a Golden Globe for Best Actor and an Academy nomination for his portrayal of a marooned FedEx systems analyst in Robert Zemeckis's Cast Away. In 2001, Hanks helped direct and produce the acclaimed HBO mini-series Band of Brothers. He also appeared in the September 11 television special America: A Tribute to Heroes and the documentary Rescued From the Closet.
Next he teamed up with American Beauty director Sam Mendes for the adaptation of Max Allan Collins's and Richard Piers Rayner's graphic novel Road to Perdition, in which he played an anti-hero role as a hitman on the run with his son. That same year, Hanks collaborated with director Spielberg again, starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the hit crime comedy Catch Me if You Can, based on the true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. The same year, he and wife Rita Wilson produced the hit movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. In August 2007, he along with co-producers Rita Wilson and Gary Goetzman, and writer and star Nia Vardalos, initiated a legal action against the production company Gold Circle Films for their share of profits from the movie. At the age of 45, he became the youngest ever recipient of the American Film Institutes's Life Achievement Award on June 12, 2002.
Hanks was absent from the screen in 2003; in 2004, he appeared in three films: The Coen Brothers' The Ladykillers, another Spielberg helmed film, The Terminal, and The Polar Express, a family film from Robert Zemeckis. In a USA Weekend interview, Hanks talked about how he chooses projects: " A League of Their Own, it can't be just another movie for me. It has to get me going somehow.... There has to be some all-encompassing desire or feeling about wanting to do that particular movie. I'd like to assume that I'm willing to go down any avenue in order to do it right". In August 2005, Hanks was voted in as vice president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Hanks next starred in the highly anticipated film The Da Vinci Code, based on the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. The film was released May 19, 2006 in the US and grossed over US$750 million worldwide. In Ken Burns's 2007 documentary "The War", Hanks did voice work, reading excerpts from World War II-era columns by Al McIntosh. In 2006, Hanks topped a 1,500-strong list of 'most trusted celebrities' compiled by Forbes magazine. Hanks next appeared in a cameo role as himself in The Simpsons Movie, in which he appears in an advertisement claiming that the US government has lost its credibility and is hence buying some of his. He also makes an appearance in the credits, stating that he wishes to be left alone when he is out in public.
In 2007, Hanks starred in Mike Nichols' film Charlie Wilson's War (written by acclaimed screenwriter Aaron Sorkin) in which he plays Democratic Texas Congressman Charles Wilson. The film opened on December 21, 2007 and Hanks got a Golden Globe nomination for his acting.
In a play on the expression "art imitating life", Hanks was going to play an on screen dad to a young man (Hanks' real-life son, Colin Hanks) who chooses to follow in the footsteps of a fading magician (John Malkovich) in The Great Buck Howard. Hanks' character was less than thrilled about his son's career decision. A film adaptation of Angels & Demons, the prequel to The Da Vinci Code, had been announced, and on April 11, 2007 it was revealed that Hanks was going to reprise his role as Robert Langdon and that he would've reportedly received the highest salary ever for an actor.
Personal life
Hanks was married to Samantha Lewes from 1978 to 1987. The couple had two children, son Colin Hanks (now also an actor) and daughter Elizabeth Ann. In 1988, Hanks married actress Rita Wilson; raised in several different Christian denominations, Hanks converted from Roman Catholicism to Eastern Orthodox Christianity when marrying Wilson. The two first met on the set of Hanks's television show Bosom Buddies but later developed a romantic interest while working on the film Volunteers. They have two sons: Chester, or "Chet" (who has a small part as a student who asks Dr. Jones a question at the end of the college chase in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), and Truman.
A proponent of environmentalism, Hanks is an investor in electric vehicles, and owns both a Toyota RAV4 EV hybrid and the first production AC Propulsion eBox.
Hanks gives money to many Democratic politicians and has been open about his support for same-sex marriage, environmental causes and alternative fuels (Hanks was an owner of the electric car before it was recalled, as chronicled in the documentary Who killed the Electric Car?). Hanks made public his candidate choice in the 2008 election when he uploaded a video to his MySpace account in which he announced his endorsement of Barack Obama.
Hanks was extremely public with his opinion and opposition to Proposition 8 that amended the California constitution to define marriage as a union only between a man and a woman. Hanks and those in opposition raised over USD$44 million in contrast to the supporters' $38 million , but 52% of the California voters were for Prop 8.
Hanks went on to blame supporters of Prop 8 as un-American and attacked the LDS (Mormon) church members—major proponents of the bill—for their views on marriage and their role in supporting the bill.] About a week later, Hanks apoligized for the remark, saying that nothing is more American thank voting one's conscience, and that is what the supporters of Prop 8 did.
Other activities
A fan of NASA's manned space program, Hanks said that he originally wanted to be an astronaut but "didn't have the math." Hanks is a member of the National Space Society, serving on the Board of Governors of the nonprofit educational space advocacy organization founded by Dr. Wernher Von Braun and was the producer of the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon about the Apollo program to send astronauts to the moon. In addition, Hanks co-wrote and co-produced Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D, an IMAX film about the moon landings. Hanks also provided the voice over for the first new planetarium show following the opening of the new Rose Center for Earth & Space in the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
In June 2006 Hanks was inducted as an honorary member of the United States Army Rangers Hall of Fame for his accurate portrayal of a Captain in the movie Saving Private Ryan; Hanks, who was unable to attend the induction ceremony, was the first actor to receive such an honor. In addition to his role in Saving Private Ryan, Hanks was cited for serving as the national spokesperson for the World War II Memorial Campaign, for being the honorary chairperson of the D-Day Museum Capital Campaign, and for his role in writing and helping to produce the Emmy Award-winning miniseries, Band of Brothers.
Hanks is one of several celebrities who frequently participate in planned comedy bits on Late Night with Conan O'Brien while they are guests. On one visit, Hanks asked Conan to join his run for president on the "Bad Haircut Party" ticket, with confetti and balloons and a hand held sign with the slogan "You'd be stupid to vote for us". On another, O'Brien, noting that Hanks was missing Christmas on his promotional tour, brought the season to him, including a gift (the skeleton of Hooch), and a mass of snow burying them both. On yet another episode, Conan gave Hanks a painting he had commissioned reflecting two of his interests: Astronauts landing on the beach at Normandy.
On March 10, 2008, Hanks was on hand at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to induct sixties sensation The Dave Clark Five. He praised the group for both the joy of their music and for never signing away their publishing rights.
Hanks is working on the next film in the Toy Story franchise, Toy Story 3, reprising his role as Sheriff Woody, scheduled for release in 2010.
Hanks is a confessed fan of English Premier League Football club, Aston Villa and was presented with a shirt on a TV show with the print 'Hanks 1' on the back.

Justin Bieber, step aside. Greyson Chance, make way. Here comes Suraj Parthasarathy. Though his name may be hard to pronounce, this young man from Montrose is an entertainment powerhouse. At 13 years old, he's already earned the titles of drummer, pianist, actor, tech wizard, songwriter and, oh, yeah, singer.
Judging by the response he received at the recent Talentpalooza show, Suraj is a force to be reckoned with. He played and sang the Jackson 5's I'll Be There to a screaming audience, at one point abandoning his piano and walking among the appreciative crowd.
But his accomplishments don't stop there. He was chosen out of 400 children to sing America the Beautiful at the 2009 U.S. Open Tennis Championship.
He won awards for both singing and acting at the 2010 iPOP! (International Presentation of Performers) convention, a talent showcase for teens. He played the lead role in Fiddler on the Roof. He's a Memphis Novice Chess Champion. He's even got his own website.
It all began when Suraj was 3 or 4 years old. "He used to sing in Sanskrit and Hindi at a church group in our home town of Memphis," says his mother, Rajasree Parthasarathy. "People said, 'He's really good.' Even I used to feel his sensitivity, his gift."
"I love to perform," says Suraj. "Songs can make people feel. They may feel like laughing or crying. I feel like I'm expressing myself, my art, when I perform and I connect with other people."
"He also loved to bang on things as a little boy," says father, Ramesh Parthasarathy, "so I enrolled him in drum lessons at age 3. It was mainly because I wanted to be a drummer."
Drumming came naturally to Suraj, and when his drum teacher heard him sing, he introduced him to vocal trainer Bob Westbrook. Westbrook--who has worked with, among others, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears--coached Suraj for years.
At Westbrook's suggestion, the Parthasarathy's moved to Los Angeles to be closer to the talent agents who could help Suraj. Father Ramesh commutes back and forth every week to his job as a physician in Tennessee. "It is difficult, but we're doing this for Suraj," Ramesh says. "We really believe in him."
Suraj acknowledges that a good singer often has natural born talent, but that professional training is imperative. "Bob Westbrook, and my current vocal coach, Kathleen Riggs [daughter of Seth Riggs, Michael Jackson's longtime coach] have taught me so much about the correct way to sing. For instance, through something called Speech Level Singing, I'm learning how to pronounce words correctly in order to relieve strain on my vocal chords."
To become better at composing songs, Suraj took up the piano and is currently learning guitar. "The hardest challenge is to write," says Suraj. "I am definitely inspired by the songwriting and lyrics of Rob Thomas."
Suraj entered and won the Rosemont PTA Reflections contest for his musical composition We Gotta Be Happy With What We Have, inspired by the poverty he witnessed in his parent's homeland of India.
He is also a big fan of Phil Collins because of his skill as a drummer and singer. Suraj practices his drumming and singing through a Van Nuys-based group called Join the Band. "They find other kids about the same level of experience and put you together in a band," Suraj says "We've performed under different band names, like Pineapple Zombie Soup, at places like The Roxy, The Mint and The Whiskey a-Go-Go in Hollywood."
At this point, Suraj is keeping his options open. "Whatever opportunity presents itself first, whether it is acting, singing, or drumming, I'll follow," he says. " I am also very interested in consumer technology."
In fact, he is contemplating starting a website called "Tech for Teens" that deals with issues that are relevant to today's young technology users. He definitely plans to go to college and hopes to design personal electronic devices one day.
Is American Idol out of the question? "Absolutely not!" says Suraj. "I plan to audition when I turn 15." Until then, he's got plenty to keep him busy.

More than 23 percent of Kansas children lived in poverty last year. That's according to the new Kansas Kids Count report, released by the non-profit advocacy group Kansas Action for Children.
The group's president, Shannon Cotsoradis, says that compares with about 18 percent five years ago.
"When you have almost one in every four kids growing up in poverty, and we know the long-term consequences of that, we really have to worry about the future of our state," she says.
Cotsoradis says with the number of children qualifying for free or reduced-price school meals, half the kids in Kansas are now in or near poverty. She says it's time to reverse course on some recent policy changes that make life harder for poor families in Kansas.
Policy changes Cotsoradis cites as needing to be changed:
Cotsoradis says child poverty is now growing at a faster rate in Kansas than in the nation as a whole.

ClickSense is a paid to click website that offers up to 2 cent per click for viewing a one minute advert , many of their clicks are less than this but are also shorter. Having done the calculations it works out that all adds are paid at the same rate per second, a rate of 2/60 cents per second or in simple terms 2 cents a minute which means you can earn 1 dollar 20 an hour. This seems quite a lot compared to even rival sites such as NeoBux. Sure you can't make a wage off of it but if you have some spare time you can earn some extra cash just by watching adverts.
If you get other people to sign up you earn a little every time they click, this is typical of most paid to click sites. The rates they offer for clicks are as follows (First number normal rate, second number premium account rate) :
Micro $0.0002 $0.0004
Mini $0.0010 $0.0020
Standard $0.0020 $0.0040
Extended $0.0040 $0.0080
Is upgrading to premium worth it? Well if you have 3 active referrals that click on 8 adverts a day and assuming a breakdown of ( 1 extended, 2 standard, 2 mini, 3micro) then you would have earned an extra (0.0006+0.0020+0.0040+0.0040),per referral or 0.0106 dollars which is 3.2 cents for the 3 referrals so this paltry amount would make you an extra 22 cents a week or 11.57 dollars a year, so on this "benefit" alone its not at all worth the fee for the average user.
Note Micro adds are 3 second ads, mini are 15 secs, standard 30 seconds and Extended ads last 1 minute.
As with a lot of paying sites you get money for completing offers, unfortunately as with a lot of paying sites the offers are the same on each site such as sign up for Toluna (which you can only really do once), furthermore there are no video tasks such as with Neobux, thus a major way to make a few cents is lacking on this site.
Plus I find Surveys are very frustrating as you spend 6 minutes doing so to discover they don't want you…
So if they paid all the time they would be good value for money on this site as you could make a dollar, but wasted time puts me totally off survey sites. I would prefer much shorter surveys for a lot less money that always accept the reader, these just don't exist!
Gaming or chance-based Elements:
There is a grid game. As with Neobux there is a luck element to wining some cents two where you click on a grid to load an advert that may or may not pay you, it seems it never pays me so I find it not worth my while, you can win up to 5 dollars but most of the winners win 10 or 20 cents, which is going to work out at far less than 2 cents a minute that you get for sticking to the main advert, so as with Neobux it is just not worth it, you would be far better served using your time productively completing tasks, as we will come to on my Next Section. But as part of your daily reward program it IS worth clicking on ten of the grid squares.
Like Neobux it has tasks you can complete to earn money, unlike neobux some of the tasks are very fair and good value for money and there is a much wider selection of tasks. They are provided by cardflower. You can earn anything from 1 cent to 21 cents. The fairness varies wildly for example a supposedly straight forward name the colour task for 1 cent took longer than a task which I earned 7 cents for, that particular task took me only 1 minute giving a projected earning of a decent 3.20 an hour (close to real wage territory in the states). However that was one of the best ones, another one for 21 cents took me ages and I ended up not getting it because it said my accuracy was zero even though I just followed their instructions to the letter. It took over 10 minutes to get nothing, but one for 17 cents took me 3-4 minutes and that's a massive 3.40 an hour if you could keep it up. So as described hear there is the potential to make good money but the occasional duff task could screw your whole earnings up and drop your rate down below the 2 cent per hour mark, so probably best just to do a few offers a day and leave it at that.
Reward Structure?
Some sites offer you rewards for logging in each day or doing x amount of things, this one is one of those sites. If you complete either 10 tasks or 2 offers, view 1 forum message, complete 10 adverts view and click on the grid 10 times you get a bonus of what you have earned for the day, 5 percent for free members, 10 percent for premium members. Lets say you complte 10 offers whats the average earning? Around 5 cents at a guestimate per offer.
So that's 50 cents earnings plus around 3 cents for those advert views, Nothing for clicking on the grid ( a pessimistic outlook but quite likely), So that's 53 cents so the bonus is 5% for standard that is 2.65 cents per day if you're a premium member you get 5.3 cents of that projected income, so that's 2.8 cents more roughly, per day, giving a premium member ship is 17 dollars then in a week you would have clawed back 16 cents per week roughly. Which means it would take you 100 weeks or 2 years to get your money back at this rate!
So on this criteria again a premium membership is not worth it. Incidently at 5.3 cents a week you will earn 2.65 dollars extra a year if you were to complete the tasks every day, not at all worth completing the tasks for in my view. Even if you include the 11.5 dollars extra from having 3 active refferals your still short of your output so its not worth it at this rate of gain to buy a premium membership.
Lets be More optimistic and see again if its worth it, suppose we can get an average of 8 cents per offer, then we have 80 cents per day, suppose we view 15 adverts per day then we would have around 5 cents from ad views, suppose we actually win 10 cents on the lucky grid each day… So at this most optimistic but still absolutely possible outlook we have instead earned a total of 95 cents per day, our basic bonus of that is 4.75 cents our premium bonus is 9.5 cents our extra earnings for premium bonus are 4.25 cents, that's 29.65 cents or lets round it to 30 cents a week, that's still 10 weeks for 3 dollars, 50 weeks for 15 dollars so if we have no active referrals it is definitely not worth the premium membership as I don't think its possible for an individual to earn much more than that without being incredibly lucky and scooping a 5 dollar bonus on the gird game (here you would earn 25 cents extra straight away which is still a drop in the ocean to make up the 17 dollar premium membership fee) .
However at this more optimistic projection of income, if you add 3 active referrals into it 15 dollars plus 12 dollars is 27 dollars. So you're up about 10 dollars, which is a reasonable gain and is not relying on a lot of luck for this gain to occur. You probably need to be having 5 referrals who click a couple of ads a day for the 17 dollars being worth the investment.
Real Life Experience
On my second day of working I tried for the daily bonus, got it (took me a while) and for 8 hours work I had earned a bonus of 2.78 cents, a little above my target calculation of 2.65 for the bonus. Note I believe that with more knowledge of the good and bad tasks it easily possible to confine this sort of earning to two to three hours of work. Although you are not going to be able to earn much more overall than this 2.8 cents for the bonus because the better tasks are in scarcity of supply (high demand) and the ads only refresh every six or so hours.
So is it all doom and gloom for the premium membership?
Not at all. If your prepared to work incredibly hard to get 8 or more referrals each of the referrals only need refer one person and that person may refer 2 people and so you end up with a whole lot of referrals who make you far more than the 17 dollar outlay to get a premium membership. It really depends on how much time you have on your hands and how intense you are going to work at it, treat it like a job and the 17 dollars for the premium account could be the greatest investment of your life! A great thing about a premium membership is that you have 8 tiers of referrals in other words the person you recruit then recruits someone else and this recurs until it has happened a maximum of 8 times! Plus you only have to spend 5 seconds watching the click grid instead of 10 and each referral that you sign up earns you a dollar in commission straight away, this does not happen in the free account!
Would I recommend Click Sense?
Yes absolutely for making a few pounds each week and having some extra spending money or savings, it is not something you should invest too much time in but something that can work for a lot of people and offers a relatively high amount of cents per second. If anyone wants to check out the website, don't google it, instead use my referral link, I am not sure if I can put this on this page so please contact me in the comments section below requesting for my referral link, please do this so that I get a few cents off of your clicks (note this does not hurt your potential earnings in anyway, it just beneftits me!)
If your still not convinced about PTC sites I hope you have learned that they are not all scams and that they can be a way to earn a little money or a lot depending on how much time and effort you put in!

Just Another Birthing Tale
Posted By Daisy
Writing about one's birth story feels indulgent; the details are usually of interest only to the participants. I don't think the telling of mine can be avoided, though, if I intend to blog about parenting, so bear with me.
Most pregnant women in their late 30′s are already a little bit too, too mama. We read everything, and we plan. Because I was considered "high-risk" it was a given that we'd be having our baby at a large teaching hospital. I intended to have a natural delivery if possible, simply because my OB stated it was the safest way to have a baby, barring complications. (We'll get to the complications later.) I wasn't averse to drugs, though. I assumed I would have an epidural — enduring pain unnecessarily has never struck me as a badge of honor. All the critical bonding stuff that had emerged from my voracious reading did make the list; I wanted to nurse right away, I wanted to delay those eyedrops so my baby could make eye contact with me first, I wanted absolutely no bottle supplementation.
Turns out you can't always get what you want. Here's how it went down for us. I had blithely been experiencing what I had already identified (through my extensive reading, bestowing me with complete expertise) as Braxton-Hicks for about a week before I went in for what was supposed to be a standard ultrasound at 35 weeks. Seems those Braxton Hickses were in fact mini-contractions, and I had been in mild premature labor for a while. My amniotic fluid was practically gone. So, my husband and I went straight from our OB's office to the hospital. Baby would be 5 weeks early, but an early delivery was safer than trying to prolong a pregnancy without enough fluids to support him. I was in the middle of drafting a contract when I left for the appointment, so while in bed at the hospital I shot off instructions to my secretary and colleagues regarding how best to pick up in the middle of things. My mother, who had only just left from a visit to help with the nursery, immediately turned back around for the seven hour drive to be with me. I went on a pitocin drip, stayed on it for a day and a half, got my epidural somewhere in there (NOT a pleasant procedure) and never dilated past 2 centimeters. Near the 48 hour mark I was wheeled in for a C-section. I wasn't a great patient. I was terrified. The anesthesiologist sternly told me that my anxiety was not good for the baby. I immediately became more anxious. I was given some sedative.
I remember hearing my son cry, and holding him for a few seconds before the medical team set about checking him out. Not the world's biggest baby, but his lungs were in fine shape and his color was good. I expected I would be reunited with him quickly back in the recovery room. Instead, he was kept in the nursery under observation for about 6 hours, for reasons that were never fully explained. He was given formula from a latex bottle. I felt defeated — nipple confusion!! he'll never nurse!! We didn't have our miracle bonding time!! Looking back now, I can't believe how agitated I had gotten. Nursing a preemie was rough, but we did it, and once we both got the hang of things, though he was 4lb10oz when we left the hospital he quickly became quite the little porker.
I don't think the manner in which my little boy entered the world made a lick of difference in our bonding. Everyone's birth story will be different. Some are easy, some are not, but if in the end you get a baby out of it, the rest of the details are just background noise.

Is anyone surprised that drug dealers are thriving in the suburbs?
It certainly wasn't news to police - who rounded up 36 people on a variety of possession and distribution charges Thursday. Nor was it shocking to those suburbanites who have patronized drug dealers - albeit in a more subtle way.
What appears different in this case is how a suburban plaza parking lot has replaced the inner-city street corner as the place to score.

AT&T Computer System Screen Shot Features iPhone 4s Menu Option
After a summer of grainy, blurry photos and Photoshopped screen shots, the iPhone 5 rumor mill may have finally grown a thick enough skin to ignore the parade of visual imagery that may (or may not) prove (or disprove) the [INSERT RUMOR HERE]. Yesterday, Engadget released a photo of a screen shot from AT&T's computer system that shows the iPhone 4s has been added to their inventory. The clear screen shot lists a white iPhone 4 with no memory stipulations on a drop down menu that also includes the various iPhone 4 models and an "iPhone 3G" model as well.
The photo actually fits into a very odd rumor that appeared in the news last week that suggested Sprint alone would get the iPhone 5, and all of the other carriers would only get the iPhone 4s. It was such a strange, nonsensical rumor that the iPhone 5 News Blog passed on it. This photo, however, could support that notion, seeing as only the "iPhone 4s" appears in the screen shot — no iPhone 5.
Whereas most avid iPhone 5′ers would consider the appearance of the "iPhone 4s" name to be the most significant development from the release of this photo, Engadget seems more enamored with the fact that it is white: "Could it be? Is Cupertino actually planning on bringing a white version of its next iPhone out at launch?"
Apple Insider, however, manages to ask all of the more pertinent questions in their piece on the matter, by bearing out some of the inconsistencies in the screen shot: "The listing appears to be incomplete, however, as it does not list storage capacity. Also worth noting is the fact that the 's' is left uncapitalized, unlike the "G" in the 'iPhone 3G 8GB Black listing.'"
Apple Insider is on the right track by asking these questions, however, I don't think that making an issue of the lower-case "s" is really the most fishy aspect of the screen shot. In fact, I have always referred to it as "iPhone 4s" as opposed to "iPhone 4S," following the capitalization rules laid out by the "iPhone 3Gs." But the lack of storage space for the white iPhone 4s is indeed strange: AT&T — as well as the other carriers — all know by this point what they're getting in the next iPhone, including its storage capacities. It would make little sense for their IT department to add on the iPhone 4s without including its storage capacity — or otherwise just wait to include it into the computer system once the device is officially launched.
I also find it strange that the "iPhone 3G" is listed at the top of this drop down menu, and not the 3Gs. It appears that there is a previous page of menu options that we are not seeing, but it would stand to reason that the oldest legacy iPhone models would appear at the front of the list, and that the 3Gs should appear above the iPhone 4 model listings. Why are we not seeing the iPhone 3Gs on this menu? (Maybe the guy who Photoshopped it is an Android user?)
Speaking of which, how do we know that this is AT&T's back end system? And how do we know that it is their sales system? Is there anything that corroborates the image? Just as the iPhone 5 News Blog exposed the bogus fraudulent document that BGR posted of the Best Buy manager's document, we now ask Engadget the same thing: show us the additional evidence that proves this is really from AT&T.

Planted atop a remote hill called Mount Horno rest two 13-foot crosses. Erected in 2003 by seven Marines, the site was established for reflection by people grieving over lives lost in the war on terror.
For almost 10 years, the crosses have stood on the hill without complaint, until MAAF and AU filed a complaint, arguing the site violated the Constitutional mandate of separation of church and state. They want the crosses moved to a church on private land and flags or some other symbol used instead to mark the site.
The Commandant of Camp Pendleton, Brig. Gen. Vincent A. Coglianese, USMC, has authority over whether the two memorial crosses erected atop Mount Horno can remain in place.
Send an email of support to Gen. Coglianese, urging him to dismiss the complaints and honor fallen Marines by allowing the crosses to remain.
Ask him to remain faithful to the memory of those who gave their lives for our country, and to honor the wives and children who still visit the crosses honoring their husbands and fathers.
Note: The Thomas More Law Center is prepared to defend the USMC, should the atheist groups decide to sue. Please pray Gen. Coglianese will make the right decision and keep the crosses in place.

Birth Place: Vancouver, British Columbia, CA
Born in Vancouver, BC on April 15, 1982, Rogen dropped out of high school and was instead educated by his time spent on stage. He landed his first big break when he joined a stand-up comedy workshop and performed his first standup gig at age 13 at the Lotus Club, a lesbian bar in Vancouver - hilariously, Rogen had just assumed it was Ladies' Night, not fully aware of the audience's sexual orientation. Regardless, he was hooked, and thereafter performed in the city's other comedy clubs - including the Urban Well, Yuk Yuks and Lafflines - doing routines about high school, video games, grandparents, Bar Mitzvahs and learning how to drive. Later, he landed gigs at the Improv and the Comedy Store... Continue Bio >>

Parents of teenagers offered extra support
7:56am Wednesday 19th February 2014 in News
EXTRA support is to be be made available to parents of teenagers in York.
City of York Council's parenting team is working with relationship experts Relate to run short courses over three evening, which will be run by trained counsellors to show how to improve communication and how to deal with arguments.
Liz Savage, parenting early intervention manager at the council, said: "We've had lots of requests this year from mums and dads asking for ideas to help get their teenagers to work with them, rather than against them, and for strategies to tackle some of the trickier things that come up with this age group, such as sex, relationships, drugs, social media etc."
Coun Janet Looker, cabinet member for education, children and young people, said: "Everyone needs support in bringing up their children from time to time because every child is unique."
The next Relate courses are on March 12, 19 and 26, between 6pm and 9pm.
They will be held at the Friends Meeting House in Friargate.
To book, phone Kathryn Ashworth on 01302 347 445 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

WHISTLEJACKET I thought you were joking with these jobs but I looked them up. You are correct and they write pages of meaningless consultation papers and are paid by us

I trusted my instincts with how to handle them, our relationship changed over the years from mother and children to a deep friendship, we respect each other, and they have grown into two young men I am very proud to call my sons.
I am not saying that it was all plain sailing, we had our ups and downs, but nothing too serious, and we didn't need the intervention of an "expert" .
Incidentally, Relate were involved in the early stages of my marriage breakdown, they were not able to provide any advice that helped.

Adoption stories
Charleston, WV
Birth Country: CN
I attended a multi-family dinner party with my children the other night. The host had invited a family whom I had never met before. After being introduced to my 3-year-old daughter and me, the husband asked me, in front of several others, where Caroline was adopted from (Shanghai, China). He then said, "Why would you bring her out of there? She would have been a lot better off staying."

Frequently Asked Questions: U.S. News My Fit
Find out how the U.S. News My Fit tool can help you identify college matches.
1. What is the U.S. News My Fit tool?
U.S. News My Fit is a proprietary search engine developed by U.S. News to help students and parents find colleges and universities that might fit their needs while making a higher education decision. Parents and students can enter up to 18 different factors that affect their college choice as well as rank the importance of each factor.
The U.S. News My Fit tool then analyzes those factors through the U.S. News database of nearly 1,800 schools, returning a list of schools for consideration.
2. How do I access U.S. News My Fit?
To begin, sign into the U.S. News College Compass or purchase the College Compass if you are not yet a subscriber. In addition to the My Fit tool, the College Compass gives you access to expanded profiles for nearly 1,800 schools, financial aid information and much more.
[See these FAQs about U.S. News College Compass.]
3. How do I use U.S. News My Fit?
To get started, simply begin entering some basic facts about you or your child. To run a basic search, the tool must have your state of residency, high school GPA and test scores, either SAT or ACT composite.
After that you can add as many or as few other school factors as you wish. For each factor, you can also select a level of importance, from "Not Important" to "Required." To change these levels of importance, use the star ratings to the right of each factor.
4. I am not seeing a school that I want to research in my results. Why not?
The U.S. News My Fit tool relies on the U.S. News proprietary database of college data. There are some instances where individual schools have not provided U.S. News with enough information to make an accurate calculation. In these instances, schools are omitted from the results and are not given a My Fit score.
5. Do schools have access to my data?
No, your information is completely private and is never shared with schools or other third parties, except as set forth in the U.S. News Privacy Policy.
6. Does the U.S. News My Fit tool work for graduate schools?
At this time, the U.S. News My Fit tool only focuses on traditional undergraduate schools.
7. What if I have some suggestions or questions not answered here?
Please email email@example.com for customer support.
8. Why am I seeing a U.S. News My Fit gauge on college and university pages?
Once you input your information to the U.S. News My Fit tool, each time you visit a school's page on usnews.com, the My Fit gauge will appear showing your My Fit status.
Results from the U.S. News My Fit tool in no way guarantee or suggest that you will be accepted or rejected from a college, university or program. The results are based on information you provide and information that U.S. News has obtained through our higher education surveys.
The U.S. News My Fit tool must only be used as a guide and should not be the only determining factor for selecting a college, university or program. There are many other factors that are important in making a higher education decision, many of which are not reflected in this tool.
U.S. News reserves the right to modify or update the U.S. News My Fit tool at any time.
Use of this tool is subject to the U.S. News Terms and Conditions.

A-Rod officially files appeal of 211-game suspensionBy
Alex Rodriguez has officially appealed his 211-game suspension for his ties to Biogenesis, the players' union announced. No surprise here, everyone knew this is coming. He had until tomorrow to file the appeal and can continue to play until the arbitrator makes his ruling. The Joint Drug Agreement says that's supposed to happen within 45 days, but apparently that's not a hard deadline and this is expected to drag on into the winter.
11 Comments»
Question: if a decision is rendered, say, in November and he ends up getting banned for the whole 211 games, that would be all of 2014 and a third of 2015?
I actually think this will lead to arod's suspension being reduced to 162. This way both win some. Arod gets a reduction and selig gets to ban him for a whole season for obstruction.
Of course, it is possible that a decision is made too late for the Yankees to count on his salary being off the books. Or putting the Yankees over 189m by reducing the suspension to 50 games.
There is a near ZERO chance he gets 50 games. It is possible he gets 100, but I think unlikely. I think he gets 150. It's basically the whole season, but means the Yanks only get to deduct about 90% of his salary (as opposed to 100%).
I hope he wins outright, but that sounds unlikely. So, best case scenario is probably 50 games.
Mike, I assume a suspended player can't play in minor league games. Can he participate in extended spring training or any other team activities? Simulated games?
Independent league?? With Yankees permission of course.
I hope he wins outright
Don't quote me on this but while suspended I think you can play with the minor league affiliates but no independent leagues or winter ball.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, A-Rod's suspension is a 50/161 breakdown: the first part for PED use and the second half for obstruction. Why MLB chose 161 and not 162 is weird, but that's how it is, supposedly.
Does his suspension go on hold during the appeal? I'd assume his 211 games don't begin until he starts them; so theoretically has he just pushed his suspension – if upheld – into the 2015 season now? seems like a risky thing to do as he isn't getting any younger.

Today's weather forecast: Hot Diggity
The Fitz and the Tantrums show last night at Apogee Studios was a double homecoming show. The soulful L.A.-based sextet not only played it first full show for its new album, More Than Just a Dream, the set was recorded for KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic," one of the first radio shows (and stations) to push the band's debut album.
At one point, singer Michael Fitzpatrick got a bit emotional about the station's role in the band's success, describing how station listeners knew the words to the songs on Pick Up the Pieces by heart after the band returned from its first tour. "It was the first time anyone had sang our songs back to us," he said.
With the band's followup full-length in store for only two days prior to Thursday night's set, there were few chances for sing-a-longs. Kicking off with "Keeping Our Eyes Out," Fitz and the Tantrums ripped through nearly every track from the new album, picking up energy as the set progressed and feeding off the crowd's energy and the cramped stage set-up. (Six musicians on Apogee's stage leaves little room for anything else).
Of the ten tunes, "Out of My League," the first single on More Than Just a Dream, was the standout. A marriage of the band's blue-eyed soul and new wave revivalism condensed into three-and-a-half minutes, it's pop music destined to send hip bar patrons sidling onto the dance floor. Heard live, the song has an added sense of urgency.
"House on Fire," credited to drummer John Wicks, has the type of groove that recalls summer afternoons spent listening to Hall and Oates cassettes. But it was the last song, "The Walker," which Fitzpatrick dedicated to Marc Abrams (a.k.a. the Silver Lake Walker) that got the tightly-packed audience moving. Joined by fellow vocalist Noelle Scaggs, they did a synchronized dance for the mid-song breakdown and culminating with an infectious scream-along chorus: "Oh! Here we go! Feel it in my soul!"
The set will air on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" on May 14.
