08-04-2014- Marketplace- Portugal Spins Off Bad Assets
Portugal is dealing with the thorny issue of the near collapse of the Banco Espirito Santo by using the not-so-new solution of spinning off the bad assets in the bank. It's called a good bank-bad bank strategy, and we last saw it used during the financial crisis. We investigate. Plus, the Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, says resident can drink tap water again...if they want to. But with algae blooms increasingly common in Lake Erie, what does the future hold for the water supply for Toledo and many other cities?
08-01-2014- Marketplace- Auto Sales Are Zooming
What we have here is a jobs recovery without a wage recovery. We look at why more Americans are working, but average wages aren't even keeping up with inflation. Plus, Procter & Gamble says it's going to get rid of half its nearly 200 brands. How did that happen, in a company famed for its highly focused brand management? Also, Auto sales are intriguing this quarter. They're not as good as analysts had expected, but those expectations were very high. We look at why cars are selling so well right now.
07-31-14- Marketplace- Insurers On Driverless Cars
The holdout investors in the Argentina bond negotiations bought the bonds at a low price and are squeezing Argentina for a profit. Some people might say that makes the investors good businesspeople, but Argentina says it makes them vultures. We explain what vulture funds are, what they do, and how they provide a valuable service to the bond market. Plus, among the penalties handed out to Bank of America for its actions contributing to the mortgage crisis was a $1 million personal fine charged to a former manager. We look at why so few people are being held individually responsible for their actions. Also, the day of driverless cars being on the road as cars, not experiments, is nigh. We look at how insurers might adapt to this new category of vehicle.
07-30-14- Marketplace- Movie Studios Rescue Kodak
Twitter announced it lost $144 million in the first quarter, but it also registered a 25 percent gain in users in the period. That's a good first step. The second step will be working out how to make money off those users, and the third step will be actually turning a profit. It's a simple three-step road to success. So simple that a bunch of pantie-pinching gnomes could understand it. And maybe even make it work. Also, the National Labor Relations Board says McDonald's could be held 'jointly liable' for labor and wage violations made by its franchise owners. How does this business model work, and what impact will yesterday's ruling have on McDonald's and other companies like it? Also, movie studios are working on a deal to help out Kodak by contracting to buy large stocks of old-fashioned motion picture film. Does trying to prop up a dying industry ever work? We'll look at a few examples.
07-29-2014- Marketplace- More Russian Sanctions
A new round of European sanctions against Russia, announced today, may also hurt US businesses that operate in Russia or have interests there. We consider the possible impact on these firms. Plus, it's looking increasingly likely that Argentina will default on some of its bonds. So what happens then? Will Argentina be consumed by hellfire? Will fear of contagion freeze the global financial markets and plunge us into another recession? Or will it be business as usual in the global bond market? Also, according to a report by the Urban Institute that came out this week, around 77 million have debt in collections. We look at what happens when a bill goes to collection, and what happens to the people who owe money.
07-28-2014- Marketplace- Dollar For Dollar
Trulia and Zillow announced they will join forces in a deal worth a reported $3.5 billion. It looks a lot like something that happens in tech when a sector matures in which companies start buying each other open a so-called roll up. We explain why this happens and what to expect in this business. Plus, Dollar Tree will also be acquiring Family Dollar Stores in a deal valued at $8.5 billion. How have things changed and how are these stores repositioning themselves as the economy recovers? In Detroit, the city water agency is proceeding with its plan to go after individual residents who are delinquent, to scare people into paying up, while negotiating with or otherwise letting slip by the big delinquent users who can fight back. Like Chrysler. And the state of Michigan.

Battle Lake School receives $10,000 grantPublished 10:20am Friday, October 11, 2013 Updated 12:22pm Friday, October 11, 2013
A representative from the Monsanto Fund presented Battle Lake Public School officials with a $10,000 check Oct. 3.
The money came from the America's Farmers Grow Rural Education program, which is sponsored by Monsanto. Monsanto will invest $2.3 million into this program this year.
More than 1,1150 school districts submitted grant applications. The program offers farmers the chance to nominate a public school district.
The program, in its second year, is aimed at helping the science and math departments at rural schools.
Battle Lake Public School will be purchasing a new 3-D printer with the grant, as well as expanding applied experiences in the
Local "Project Linus" chapter delivers blankets to children
A national non-profit organization recently stopped in Perham to deliver 30 blankets to the Perham Community Outreach Ministry.
Project Linus, named after the famed Peanuts character who was never without his blanket, provides blankets to children who are ill, traumatized or otherwise in need. The group formed in 1998 and has delivered almost 4.8 million blankets in that time.
But until a few years ago, the nearest donation sites to Otter Tail County were Bemidji or St. Cloud. Mary Brauch then started a chapter in Todd and Wadena Counties and made the recent trip to Perham. The blankets donated to the Outreach Ministry will go to families in crisis situations.
The 30 blankets donated to Perham are part of the 237 Brauch's chapter have given to several nearby counties over the last few years.

Early Education in the News
The Mississippi Board of Education is abandoning incremental goals in favor of big ones, according to a strategic plan released Thursday. And while Superintendent Carey Wright and others have been trying to round up enough money to incrementally expand Mississippi's recently created state preschool program, now the goal is to provide high quality preschool to every child.
Gov. Jay Inslee has a plan for putting $2.3 billion more into preschool through college education and workforce training and for meeting the state's obligation to the Supreme Court a year early. On Monday, he announced his education policy initiatives at a town-hall style meeting in person in Bellevue and on video screens in Moses Lake, Spokane and Tacoma.
As part of President Barack Obama's efforts to support early education, Virginia was awarded a large federal preschool expansion grant and Winchester was one of the many locations selected.
$17.5 million was awarded to the state and Winchester Public Schools requested $4 million.
Several factors played a role in determining which locations qualified for the grant such as: level of poverty, percentage of children entering the state's literacy level and the number of at-risk four-year-olds.
A growing body of research has found that high-quality pre-K programs can teach children important classroom skills like how to raise their hands and pay attention, as well as boost reading and math skills. Data released earlier this year found that two-thirds of Mississippi's students start kindergarten unprepared and are less likely to be proficient readers by third grade. For years, Mississippi's students of all ages have scored at or near the bottom on national standardized reading and math tests.
Many educators say that, to improve later outcomes, Mississippi must first improve early education. Nationwide, about 28 percent of 4-year-olds attend state-funded preschool programs according to the National Institute for Early Education Research, although access and quality vary greatly.
As of 2013, 10 states did not offer preschool, while states like Oklahoma and Florida provided pre-K to more than 74 percent of their 4-year-olds. Some states have high-quality programs as evidenced by such traits as ensuring teachers hold bachelor's degrees and enforcing small class sizes. Other states meet few of these high-quality guidelines.
"People end up using 'universal' to cover the notion that they want to serve more than just poor kids and maybe they want to open it up to all kids," said Steve Barnett, the director of National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University. "But that doesn't mean they're going to serve everybody."
In many places, including Chicago, promises of universal programs extend only to low-income families, but other cities have branded "universal" preschool as being accessible to families of all income levels. Some districts are picking
up the full tab for preschool classes, but others, such as Denver, call their programs universal but don't promise to cover all costs. And many other programs that are billed as universal fall far short of serving every student, at least right now. For example, West Virginia passed a universal preschool bill this year while emphasizing that not all children would be served for at least a decade.
The numbers are in, and it looks like interest is high for the first phase of Indiana's first state-funded preschool program. More than 1,600 applications came in from families interested in taking part inOn My Way Pre-K, which will launch infour of the five selected pilot counties – Allen, Lake, Marion and Vanderburgh – in a few weeks. That number far exceeds capacity. The state originally intended to enroll between 350 and 400 children in those four communities. Lemons says due to the high interest, the FSSA is trying to see if they can make room for a few extra spaces.
The Maryland State Education Association is calling on the State Board of Education to suspend its Kindergarten Readiness Assessments, arguing that teachers lose too much instructional time administering the new computer-based tests and are not receiving useful data to improve teaching and learning. Betty Weller, the president of the teachers union, said the MSEA fielded numerous complaints from teachers after they started administering the test this fall. The union wants the state to halt the testing until issues surrounding the assessment and its implementation are resolved.
Steve Barnett, director of the National Institute of Early Education at Rutgers University, said teachers nationwide have had similar complaints. "Every state is grappling with the same issues," he said. But Barnett said the assessments provide education policy experts the tools they need to determine what type of reforms should be considered for early education; what type of support children need before they go to kindergarten; and a base line of a student's skills as he or she moves through elementary school.
Thousands of early child-care providers and educators ask themselves the same questions each day as they care for and educate nearly 12.5 million children under age five. They will soon care for millions more under two new federal initiatives set in place within the past month: a $1 billion initiative announced Wednesday to provide public and private grants to states to expand their pre-kindergarten programs, which is part of a $75 billion package calledPreschool for All to create universal pre-K education for 4-year-old children, and thereauthorization of the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), a block of funds totaling $5.3 billion for early child-care centers and schools for children ages 1-to-4 nationwide. These federal initiatives will allow states to allocate more funds to further train caretakers and teachers, to improve and enforce safety and health standards, to provide new education materials, and to create more vouchers for low-income families to enroll their children in early childhood programs. But amid the cheering for these laws and the progress they represent, one critical element of quality childhood education remains noticeably absent from the conversation: funding to pay much more to teacher and caretakers, some of the lowest-paid workers in the country. Federal early child-care and education policies must require states to raise caretaker and teacher salaries, or else qualified workers will continue to struggle, earn less than they deserve for this vital work, or leave the field, while the children—at their most critical development stage—will receive lower-quality care.
President Barack Obama is embarking on a $1 billion package that will provide public and private funding for US preschool programs during a summit on early childhood education. The Obama administration is also set to launch its "Invest in US" campaign in the hopes of increasing private investment in the programs. A promotional campaign will include the voices of a number of celebrities including Shakira, Jennifer Garner and John Legend. The package will see 75% of its funding coming from existing government grant programs. Almost four dozen private sector companies, including LEGO and PVH Corp, who owns such clothing lines as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, have each promised donations of over $300 million put together. According to the Education Department, the new grants will give 63,000 children access to early childhood education programs in the coming year.
Meisner, who has spent decades working in early-childhood education, said these kids often don't have the same opportunities for early learning and social interaction that kids from more affluent families have. That means they might start elementary school with fewer skills than their peers.
Tacoma is trying to close the gap. The district now offers preschool at 30 of its 35 elementary schools.
Free programs include Head Start, a federally funded program for low-income children who are at least 3 years old, and ECEAP (Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program), a similar program funded by the state. Both have the same goals: early learning, family support, parent involvement, and child health and nutrition.
We now know there's an "achievement gap." This "achievement gap" in lower-income families (and perhaps high-stress families) can be found in the skills of children as young as nine months old. This means that the neuro development in these young children starts lagging and continues to lag until the beginning of school. Children of higher income families simply start out ahead.
The numbers can't lie. According to the report, "The Economics of Early Childhood Investments," about 60 percent of three- and four-year-olds whose mothers have a college degree are enrolled in preschool, compared to about 40 percent of children whose mothers did not complete high school.
McClelland and Postl cited research which shows that 85% of a child's brain development occurs by age five yet only 5% of public education dollars are spent on early childhood education. The National Institute for Early Education Research reports that children who participate in full-day prekindergarten programs are better prepared for kindergarten than children who participate in half-day programs and that children who are not reading at grade-level by the third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school. They cite evidence which indicates that participation in high quality pre-kindergarten programs has been shown to be effective in helping children read at grade-level by the third grade.
Seven months ago, we addressed a "good and bad news" situation for Alabama's First Class voluntary pre-kindergarten program. The National Institute for Early Education Research praised the program as one of only four in the U.S. that met all its quality standards, something it actually has done for eight straight years. However, the institute also noted its limited scope; just 6 percent of Alabama's 4-year-olds participated in 2012-13, the school year studied.
Since then, the Legislature has increased Pre-K funding to $38.5 million annually, and state grants have helped establish additional classroom sites throughout much of the state, including Etowah and other Northeast Alabama counties. The program now serves twice as many children, although only the most optimistic "glass half full" advocate would launch fireworks over a 12 percent participation rate. That's about to change, however, thanks to a big chunk of federal money.
Invest in us. We're too small to fail.
So say a growing number of businesses, foundations, organizations and state and local leaders of children in their first five years (from birth to age 5). Today, President Obama announced over $750 million in federal funding for early learning programs through the Preschool Development Grants and Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships as well as calling for the expansion of early childhood opportunities for children across the country through public and private commitments to investment in early childhood programs and research.
Texas was not a winner of the big prize that would have garnered up to $120 million over four years for universal preschool. HHS announced awards for Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership and Early Head Start Expansion grants designated for expanding and improving preschool. The feds granted Texas programs approximately $30 million. The largest chunk of government dollars will go to San Antonio and Edinburg, each receiving $7.4 million. Early Head Start is the pre-preschool version of Head Start. Head Start's Program Standards or the National Institute for Early Education Research are cited as the program's benchmarks, Breitbart Texas reported. This kind of pre-K also comes with a mandate for voluntary home visits.
New Jersey should be required to provide more school aid and universal preschool for 16 mostly poor, rural districts, including four in Ocean County, attorneys representing the districts argued in court Thursday. The Education Law Center — which represented Lakewood, Lakehurst, Ocean Township (Waretown), and Little Egg Harbor schools in addition to the other "Bacon" districts — said the districts are unable to provide an adequate education to their students due to cuts in state funding.
Governor Pat Quinn today announced that Illinois has won an $80 million federal investment in early childhood education. Illinois will receive $20 million annually for four years through the Preschool Development Grants competition, which is part of President Obama's call in 2013 to expand access to high-quality preschool to every child in America. Thirty-six states competed for a total of $250 million annually over four years to provide children from low-income households with access to early childhood education. The announcement is part of Governor Quinn's Birth to Five Initiative, which expands access to early learning opportunities.
"Providing high-quality early childhood education is a game changer for our economy," Governor Quinn said. "While Illinois currently leads the nation in the number of three-year-olds in preschool, we have much more work to do. This major investment in Illinois' littlest will have a big impact in many of our communities. Every child, no matter where they live, deserves the opportunity to succeed in life."
Reading aloud introduces more and different words into the vocabulary of both parent and child at a time when the child's brain is growing at its fastest. Researchers have found that 86 percent to 98 percent of a child's vocabulary by age 3 consists of words used by his or her parents. It's no wonder, then, that young kids of professional parents know twice as many words as the kids of low-income parents. By age 4, the average child in a poor family might have experienced 13 million fewer words than the average child in a working-class family. Between the highest and lowest ends of the economic spectrum, there could be a 30-million-word gap in children before they reach kindergarten, according to psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risely, who published their findings in 2003. She and millions of other parents share the same dilemma: How do we give our kids the best start possible when most of their early exposure to the world comes from us? It's a lot of pressure on parents, whether they dream of a future Rhodes Scholar or struggle just to keep their children fed and clothed.
Declaring early childhood education "one of the best investments we can make," President Barack Obama on Wednesday followed up on a promise to expand early education opportunities for tens of thousands of children by announcing $1 billion in public-private spending on programs for young learners.
Obama said that less than one-third of 4-year-olds are enrolled in preschool and blamed the high cost of these programs for essentially shutting off access to poorer infants, toddlers and preschoolers. He said studies repeatedly show that children who are educated early in life are more likely to finish their educations, avoid the criminal justice system, hold good jobs and have stable families. All those factors are good for the U.S. and its economy overall, Obama said.
Why were Rhode Island officials so excited when the White House announced Wednesday that the state had won a $2.3-million federal grant for its preschool program?
Because the influx of funds will help expand one of the most successful state-funded pre-K programs in the country from 17 sites to 60 sites over the next five years, tripling the number of classroom seats offered to four-year-olds across the state.

What a mess
I went out to the south side of my shop to check on what I think is Tromboncino squash. I planted 4 plants in a pile of soil I harvested from the drainage ditch on the north side of my north garden. They have not been watered of any other care. I did however spray round up to more or less mark where I want to build my small greenhouse. I am going to make it more like a pole barn so that when I become unable to garden I can convert it into a storage room with sheet iron covering.
The south wall frame work was to be my trellis for the squash. It may be harvest time before I get to the greenhouse. My 16 year old granddaughter is doing the work. She is planning on going into Engineering and wanted to know some practical applications of engineering. So far she has redone my water line to the south garden, helped repair the roof on one of my storage buildings. Build a trellis for the garden. We have more water lines to run and hydrants to install, a dishwasher to repair or replace. By the time I get through with her she may decide to go into nursing.
Sorry I got side tracked, but the squash look pretty good for something that has been planted and forgot.
Oh yeah, that looks exactly like zucchetta (tromboncino)! Don't stand too long in front of it, it will eat you alive :)
I don't know if I will have any this year. I think my seeds must have rotted in the ground. I ordered more, but I haven't planted them yet.
Enjoy the squash. I really like it.

Line your muffin tins with 16 paper liners.
Place the cereal into a plastic bag and crush it into fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Add it to a medium bowl with the cocoa and brown sugar. Stir it together before adding the melted butter then stir it until the mixture is well combined.
Divide the crust mixture evenly among the 16 liners then pat it down with the bottom of a small glass and set aside.
In a large bowl add the softened cream cheese, sour cream and vanilla. Using a hand mixer or a wire whisk beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a medium bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and milk until it appears lump free then add it to the cream cheese mixture and stir them together with a rubber spatula until well combined.
Divide the filling evenly among the cupcake liners then smooth out the tops with the back of a spoon. Cover and chill for 4 to 6 hours before serving. If you can make them a day ahead of time that's even better to give them plenty of time to set.

2 Small Earthquakes Recorded in Oklahoma
JONES, Okla. (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded two small earthquakes in Oklahoma.
The survey reports a 3.3 magnitude earthquake struck near Jones at 1:21 a.m. Wednesday. The epicenter is about 15 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.
The second quake — measured at magnitude 2.8 — was recorded 15 minutes later near Paden in Okfuskee County.
Both the Oklahoma County and the Okfuskee County sheriff's offices say there are no reports of injury or damage.
Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3 are generally the smallest felt by humans.

about maryport
Maryport has always had a close affinity with the sea, from its earliest fishing days to the busy docks and sea-faring ships of the Georgian and Victorian eras.
Even the Romans utilised the presence of the sea and its shoreline as added defence in the building of Hadrian's Wall, their great frontier sweeping along the Solway Firth and down the west coast as far as Ravenglass.
The west-facing Solway coast affords expansive views and glorious sunsets over the Irish Sea, which can be enjoyed from the promenade walks.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Adam Eaton continues rehab assignment
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Eaton played with the Reno Aces in Triple-A on Sunday. It was Eaton's third game back as he continues to recover from a sprained left elbow, suffered in spring training.
He did not play in the field Sunday, serving only as the designated hitter. Eaton went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a strikeout in a 6-5 loss to the Tacoma Rainiers.
In the three games with Reno, Eaton is batting .143 in 14 at-bats, with two hits, a double, two RBI and four strikeouts. He has yet to play in the field in any games.
The 24-year-old hurt the elbow in spring training and had an MRI on March 21st that revealed the UCL sprain. The D-backs originally said Eaton would be out 6-8 weeks and expected him back in early May.
Eaton appeared in 22 games for the D-backs in 2012, and hit .259 with two home runs and five RBI.

hibiscus bud drop
We have a tropical hibiscus, Brown Derby, which has bud drop. The plant is approximately 18 inches tall and looks healthy, but as the buds develop they get to be a good size and drop. It is so disappointing!! It is planted in a plastic pot with good drain holes, it is in Miracle Grow potting mix, and we keep it outside so it gets good sun. Because of the heat we water it every day using a drip irrigation system. We have examined the plant closely and see no bugs. We have even opened and examined the dropped buds and still see nothing. Still we sprayed lightly with Bayer insect, disease and mite with no resolution of the problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be and what to do about it?
I had that problem several years ago, but I can't remember how I cured it. The solution was not spraying the foliage but adding the cure to the soil. I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe my reply will jog someone else's memory.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hawaiian Sunset
felipo, I remember now that my problem was caused by something called a gall midge. The solution was to treat the soil with a granular compound with imidicloprid as the active ingredient. Remove from the soil any fallen buds, pick the yellowed buds off your plant everyday and get rid of them.

Center Opens in NYC to Fight Global Hunger
United States, October 16, 2008
Deepti Hajela
October, 2008
Mercy Corps hopes visitors to the Action Center to End World Hunger will come away not only knowing more, but doing more.
NEW YORK -- Not just education, but inspiration.
The people behind a new institution opening in lower Manhattan hope visitors to the Action Center to End World Hunger will come away not only knowing more, but doing more.
The center, a project of international aid organization Mercy Corps, opens today -- World Food Day -- across the street from the Irish Hunger Memorial.
The multimedia, interactive facility, designed by Edwin Schlossberg, tries to connect people to the hunger relief work being done around the world and offers a variety of ways to get involved. It features a video narrated by "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live" star Tina Fey.
"This is a place to turn people on to becoming a part of this," Schlossberg said. "What we're about is OK, so what are you going to be doing for hunger, now?"
George Devendorf of Mercy Corps said one goal is to "get someone who hasn't previously taken an action to take one." That, he says, could "be a catalyst in their own life."
Devendorf said the idea started at the Battery Park City Authority, which was looking for a complement to the hunger memorial in that neighborhood. The memorial commemorates the famine that led to millions starving and brought hundreds of thousands of Irish to New York.
Mercy Corps, based in Portland, Ore., sees the center as a way of helping Americans change the way they see the world and getting them more connected to global issues, Devendorf said.
"We're not going to be successful in achieving the kind of lasting change we want unless we open up a second front in that struggle, and that second front is here at home," he said. "It's influencing Americans and building a constituency of citizens who understand what some of these root causes are that animate hunger and poverty and have a clear understanding of some of the steps they can take."
It's a message that he thinks Americans are more receptive to hearing, given rising food prices and the financial crisis.
The center opens with a briefing room.
"Each night, almost one billion people around the world go to bed hungry," Fey says in the video shown there. "Yet hunger itself is a symptom of wide problems faced by communities in every country -- problems being greatly exacerbated by the current food crisis both in the U.S. and around the world.
"The Action Center will illuminate how hunger is not the problem, but the symptom of many root causes, such as poor agricultural practices, human rights abuses, and the impacts of climate change. By identifying and highlighting these underlying causes, the Action Center will seek to generate the public resolve necessary to create lasting change."
Four "training towers" focus on issues related to hunger like land use or governance, and show how those issues are dealt with in a specific country. Other screens show Mercy Corps workers around the world, giving accounts of their work.
An action center allows visitors to see what they can do, depending on what amount of time they want to give -- from one minute to one day to one lifetime. Actions can range from sending letters to elected officials to volunteering.
The center is hosting a number of events to mark the opening, including a panel discussion and a comedy show.

Short Hairstyles Are Having A Bit Of A Moment...
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini
We think it's fair to say that short hairstyles are totally having a moment. Sienna, Scarlett, Charlize... more and more A-listers are chopping off their long locks to work something way more trend-led.
'I love the idea of wearing an evening dress with a hair cut, rather than a hair do,' celebrity hair stylist Orlando Pita told us in an exclusive interview for Marie Claire Runway. 'It updates your whole look - you wear your hair cut.' Just look to Cheryl Fernandez Versini. This effortlessly cool seventies bob looks ultra-glam when worn with a stylish cocktail dress - but is still equally glamorous when worn with denim on the weekend.
Considering going for the chop but scared at the same time? You're not alone, says Orlando. 'I had been trying to get Karlie Kloss to cut her hair for ages and when she finally did do it, she loved it! I think sometimes women can't picture themselves with a short hair cut if they have had long hair for a long time. It's good for people to cut their hair - I get bored with long hair and I like showing alternatives.'
So have a browse through our favourite short hairstyles and print off your favourite looks, ready to take to your hairdresser. You can do this and it will look amazing! Prepare to be inspired..

Is Hector usable?
Hmmmmmm... I came across Hector again today and it got me thinking! I love Ancient boys names and boys names from Mythology generally but I'm aware that lots of them are hard to wear!
Anyway what do you think of Hector?... Is it wearable?? In particularly interested in hearing from Aussie and European berries as I know in the US Hector is mostly associated with the Hispanic community and you probably have a slightly different opinion of the name though all opinions welcome
Potential brothers... Atticus, Rufus and Zephyr
Also how does the name sound with Matilda? (Our daughters name?)
Also 1 likely middle would be Beresford (family name)... And I thought Huckleberry could be a fun nn when he's little... Hectic or heckles are also cute just for fun!
Lack of nn's to grow into throws me a bit though... I guess Heckie isn't too bad... Any other suggestions? Does Huck work or two much of a stretch? Or maybe Hector doesn't need one!!

I love the name Hector. Sound and flow, inspiring character in the Odyssey; he's got everything going for him really. I know three Hectors, all of whom have completely different personalities and it fits them all. I love it. Good luck!

I like Hector. I'm in the US, but since I've been on name forums so long I can see Hector totally working on any type of little boy, it seems more like a classic/mythological name (somewhat like Penelope), rather than a stereotypically Hispanic name. I think it's really cute with Atticus and Matilda.
I wouldn't use a nn, personally, and Huckleberry doesn't seem to be related to Hector at all. But I suppose they all could work...Ashley

Yesterday was one of those jam packed day that leave you exhausted and energized at the same time!
I woke up for the 2nd time this week before 5am in order to get in a morning run without missing out on any fun. A small group of us met at 5am in the Hyatt hotel lobby to head out for 13+ miles before Healthy Living Summit kicked off. It was earlier than we originally planned but we wanted to have plenty of time to shower, stretch and eat breakfast before the sessions.
I had the pleasure of running with Valerie , who was attending Healthy Living Summit on behalf of her company, Porter Novelli , and participating in the Blogging with Brands session with a few of us bloggers Saturday morning. It turns out that Valerie is my dear college friend Robin's best friend back in Washington, DC! It truly is a small world and it was so fun to connect the dots this weekend and finally get to know the lovely lady of whom I've heard so much over the years from Robin.
We kept a great pace for the first few miles along the lovely Charles River, chatting and enjoying the morning scenery. Unfortunately Valerie wasn't feeling too hot so we parted ways around mile 7 and I continued along the river on my own, jamming to my music and missing my rowing days as I watched skulls glide past me on the river. Around mile 9 it started to drizzle which was wonderfully refreshing and just added to the perfect running weather, cooler than my normal sticky NYC runs and a scenic change.
After a quick shower and a breakfast beyond my wildest dreams, thanks to Wild Harvest and their blogger recipe competition, I was fueled and ready to begin a day of learning from fellow bloggers, brands, fitness groups, and experts from some of our favorite brands and PR firms!
The morning kicked off with a get to know you ice breaker in small groups of 15 or so people. It was so much fun to get to know the new and old faces alike over such topics as AIM screen names and favorite books. In case you were wondering, my answer to the below question is Anne of Green Gables and The Bible.
After the opening we had a chance to break a sweat with the local Crossfit gang and learn the basics behind the workout and some of their favorite moves, such as air squats and jumps. There were over 150 people in the tented space lined up in rows so the instructors could monitor form and give pointers. They had an awesome soundtrack for the workout and were so upbeat that you couldn't help but smile while you squated low.
The next session I attended was Holding a Virtual Challenge , hosted by the lovely Amanda from Run to the Finish ! I'm going to provide details around this session in this week's Tuesday Tips but let me just say that I learned so much and was inspired to do my own challenge in the near future.
Next up, was the moment I'd been worrying about all morning, Blogging with Brands , a session that brought together three brand and PR aficionados ( Kelly Olexa , Valerie , and Laura Stanton along with three bloggers ( Theodora , Anne , and myself) to share tips and thoughts about working with brands.
I was honored when Lauren asked me to join the panel and looked forward to not only contributing but also learn from everyone participating. Theodora did a great job recapping her thoughts in today's post. (picture via Theodora)
While we didn't have a formal presentation, Lauren prepared questions for each person to answer and then we took Q&A from the crowd.
It was great because almost every topic allowed for both a blogger and brand to share their thoughts which exposed the audience to multiple opinions and schools of thought. I think the live tweeting summarized the highlights better than I ever could since the things that are Tweeted tend to be the most noteworthy and effective. Here are the highlights from the #HLSBrandtalk twitter feed.
The session went wonderfully and our bundle of nerves was over faster than anyone wanted! The packed house had great questions and I can only hope that they gained at least a few useful tips.
After our session we were able to laugh again and enjoy a delicious lunch which proved that the Hyatt really knows how to cater for large groups. The meals this year blew the socks off all of us! Tender chicken that was served moist versus dry. Dishes served in Le Crueset? Amazing flavors?
The rest of the afternoon was spent in more sessions and networking with brands until around 5 when we couldn't wait to toast Meghann and the gang for all their hard work! (bottom pic via Gretchen !)
While the HLS sessions were done, our day wasn't over. I'll be back tomorrow to share our epic dinner at Evoo thanks to the folks at Chobani!
Hope you had a great weekend!

How to make the MacBook Air SuperDrive work with any Mac
(Edited/clarified Nov. 2012 by luz, updated for Mavericks Nov. 2013, added Trim Enabler note Jan 2015)
The story is this – a while ago I replaced the built-in optical disk drive in my MacBook Pro 17″ by an OptiBay (in the meantime, there are also alternatives) which allows to connect a second harddrive, or in my case, a SSD.
To be able to continue using the SuperDrive (Apple's name for the CD/DVD read/write drive), the Optibay came with an external USB case which worked fine, but was ugly. And I didn't want to carry that around, so I left it at home and bought a shiny new MacBook Air SuperDrive (by 2012, Apple USB SuperDrive) for the office.
It just didn't occur to me that this thing could possibly not just work with any Mac, so I didn't even ask before buying. I knew that many third-party USB optical drives work fine, so I just assumed that would be the same for the Apple drive. But I had to learn otherwise. This drive only works for Macs which, in their original form, do not have an optical drive. Which are the MacBook Airs and the new Minis [Update 2013-11-10: the only model left with an optical drive is the non-retina MBP 13″].
At this point, I started to search the net, finding hints, disassembling Mac OS X USB drivers and finally patching code in a hex editor which was the first, but ugly, solution to make the superdrive work, and gave me the information to eventually find the second, much nicer solution presented below. For those interested in the nitfy details of disassembling and hex code patching, the first approach is still documented here.
For actually making the SuperDrive work in clean and easy way, just read on (but note: while it has proven to be a quite safe method, still you'll be doing this entirely on your own risk! Using sudo and editing system files incorrectly can damage things severely!).
Apparently, Apple engineers had the need to test the superdrive with non-MacBookAir computers themselves, so the driver already has an option built-in to work on officially unsupported machines! All you need to do is enable that option, as follows:
The driver recognizes a boot parameter named "mbasd" (Mac Book Air Super Drive), which sets a flag in the driver which both overrides the check for the MBA and also tweaks something related to USB power management (the superdrive probably needs more power than regular USB allows). So just editing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and inserting the "mbasd=1″ into the "Kernel Flags" does the trick:
- open a terminal
- type the following two commands (two lines, each "sudo" starting on a new line)
sudo plutil -convert xml1 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
- Insert mbasd=1 in the <string></string> value below the <key>Kernel Flags</key> (If and only if there is already something written between <string> and </string>, then use a space to separate the mbasd=1 from what's already there. Otherwise, avoid any extra spaces!). The file will then look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
[Important update for users of Trim Enabler (thanks boabmatic!): Since Yosemite, installation of Trim enabler puts another flag "kext-dev-mode=1" into the com.apple.Boot.plist, and, unfortunately, also converts the .plist to binary format which shows as mostly garbage in many text editors (that's what the "plutil" line in step 2 above takes care about: it converts the file back to XML so you can edit it). Note that the system will not boot any more when trim enabler is installed, but "kext-dev-mode=1″ is missing! So to apply the "mdasd=1″ with trim enabler active, you need to combine both flags, such that the line will read
<string>kext-dev-mode=1 mbasd=1</string>. For details on Yosemite and Trim Enabler, see here]
[Update: As CyborgSam pointed out in the comments, the file might not yet exist at all on some Macs. In that case, the pico editor window will initially be empty – if so, just copy and paste the entire XML block from above].
- Save (press Ctrl-X, answer yes to save by pressing Y, press enter to confirm the file name).
- Restart your machine. That's it!
I tested this [Updated:2013-11-03] on Lion 10.7.2 up to 10.7.4, Mountain Lion up to 10.8.4 and Mavericks 10.9 so far, but I expect it to work for all Mac OS versions that came after the initial release of the Macbook Air Superdrive, which is probably 10.5.3, and is likely to work with future versions of OS X. Just let me know your experience in the comments!
BTW: the boot options plist and how it works is described in the Darwin man pages
[Update 1]: This trick has found it's way into a Mac OS X Hints comment, unfortunately lacking credit… [Update: was just accidental omission by the comment's author]
[Update 2]: It seems that there's an even simpler method than all what I described above: 1) Open a Terminal, 2) type sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1″ - done. I haven't tested so far, but Apple docs (from here to here to here) suggest this has exactly the same effect as the .plist editing below. [Update: apparently, does not always work, so I recommed to stick with the .plist editing which works well]

Thanks for the great tip! I've been in a big trouble and it's gone.
MBP early 2011, OS X 10.10
I have a MBP Mid 2011 OS X 10.10.2 could you share what did you do exactly that work for you. Thanks in advance.
It didn't work for me in Yosemite OS X 10.10.2. I just installed a second hard drive in my mid-2009 MacBook Pro 15″, 2.53 ghz, using the Other World Computing "Data Doubler" adapter in the space where the Superdrive had been, and put the Superdrive in an external case, the "OWC Value LIne SuperSlim". I used Text Wrangler to change the file at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist to include the code "mbasd=1″ as outlined in your blog. After restarting and opening DVD player, I still got the error message from DVD Player that a valid DVD drive could not be found. Here is the code I have in the com.apple.Boot.plist file. The indents on two lines were in the original file.
Kernel Flags
In my previous remarks, I tried to insert the complete code from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist, but only a small part of the code appeared in my post. Suffice to say, I inserted the code between the two "string" values. I'll past the complete code here again, but it seems that the blog will not allow that, so it will probably be incomplete again:
Kernel Flags
GREAT NEWS! I found a solution that worked for my Superdrive in the external case. After applying the fix you suggested, which did not work by itself, I left the file at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist with the code "mbasd=1″ included. Then I used the fix on this page:
The fix requires modification of some code embedded into OS X's DVDPlayback framework; essentially replacing the words "internal" with "external". YIPPEE! Now my external Superdrive plays movies using DVD Player.
IMPORTANT: I forgot one step in my last post, and the first step might be necessary. Here are the complete steps I used.
External SuperDrive DVD player fix – SOLVED!
This solution worked for my Superdrive, which I had installed in a USB external case, so now it can play movies using Apples DVD Player App, but additional steps may be needed, as I outline below. I had removed the SuperDrive from my mid-2009 Macbook Pro 15″ 2.53 ghz to install a second hard drive with Other World Computing's "Data Doubler" adapter, and mounted the SuperDrive in an OWC Value Line SuperSlim external case.
I don't know if the two steps below are necessary, but I had done them before applying the fix you suggested, because other suggested them as fixes.
1) I installed Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953
2) Then I applied a fix on this page, http://www.hardturm.ch/luz/2011/10/how-to-make-the-macbook-air-superdrive-work-with-any-mac/comment-page-12/#comment-106449, using Text Wrangler to edit the preference file at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist by adding code mbasd=1 between the two string values. However, that still did not resolve the problem. I left the preference file with the code "mbasd=1″ included, as outlined on that site.
3) Then, I used the fix at http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2294 which requires modification of some code embedded into OS X's DVDPlayback framework; essentially replacing the words "internal" with "external"
YIPPEE! Now my external Superdrive plays movies using DVD Player.
I made a typo in my posting and somehow deleted part of the path to the file that I modified. The complete path file is:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist, which is the same as stated in the original post by the blog's author on this thread.
I have a macbook pro OS X 10.9.5 and tried the code you suggested. actually both of them; also the one in the update, but my mac still won't recognize the superdrive.
Im not sure what to do.
I can put in the command, and do control X to save it, and Y. I just close the terminal after this, restart my computer, but I still get an error message saying that this mac doesn't support the superdrive.
When I press Y, I get "File Name to Write:$t" at the bottom of the screen by the way
I got it thanks! I just kept forgetting to press enter after Y. silly me. All set now! thank you!!
I had an interesting discovery with this command. First of all, it worked great, superdrive works. However, it also might have fixed my previously non working internal optical drive on my mid 2009 macbook pro!
It had been broken for a while (the physical arm blocking disks from entering the drive, persisting after resets, etc.) However, after staying broken for many months, it now works! Recently, I did the Yosemite upgrade, and then today ran this command. One or the other has fixed my drive, I didn't test the drive in between. Could it have been because of this .plist edit? If so, you should publicize that!
I just want to add my thanks for this fix! I have almost zero need for an optical drive so I didn't care when I realized mine was dead, but my girlfriend was really bummed when hers died because she imports music CDs to iTunes almost every week.
She bought the external Apple SuperDrive only to find out it didn't work on her Aluminum MacBook5,1. When she took it to the Apple techs at the store where she bought it, THEN they said, "Sorry, it doesn't work in any Mac with a built-in optical drive." Luckily they let her return it.
Not long after that her hard drive crashed, and I really wanted to set up a dual drive with SSD for her main drive and HDD in the optical bay for Time Machine so we could avoid the troublesome data recovery process if one day the new drive crashes. However, she really wants an optical drive. How happy I was to find this blog!
In case anyone is wondering, here is what I've tested…
Girlfriend's Aluminum MacBook5,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8:
– the plist edit trick to add mbasd=1 works!
– the nvram boot-args="mbasd=1″ trick also works!
My White MacBook3,1 also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8:
– the plist edit trick to add mbasd=1 works!
– the nvram boot-args="mbasd=1″ trick also works!
On both systems, with either trick I was able to read a data CD, play an audio CD, import the audio to MP3 in iTunes…AND play a DVD automatically after inserting the disc using the OS X DVD Player software. I also tested DVD playback in VLC on my White MacBook, and it works as well.
Quick addition: I updated the Aluminum MacBook5,1 to Mavericks (OS X 10.9.5) and checked the fixes again.
Either method gives the same results as with Snow Leopard. DVDs still play in the default DVD Player application, too :)
I'm currently updating to Yosemite. I'll repeat the tests just to be sure there are no bugs and then the results here soon.
One last post after testing Yosemite.
Both methods (plist editing and nvram at the command line) worked in all situations I tried:
– Aluminum MacBook5,1 with Snow Leopard, with Mavericks, and with Yosemite
– White MacBook3,1 with Snow Leopard
I have a MacBook Pro mid2012 Running Yosimite. This hack worked with Mavericks but after my update it quick working. I had trim enabler installed as well so my "/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist" dosent look like it should, it says:
"bplist00�^A^B\Kernel Flags_^PWkext-dev-mode=1 mbasd=1^H^K^X^@^@^@^@^@^@^A^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^C^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@2″
As you can see I tried adding the mbasd=1 in the line but it still will not work. Any ideas?
this worked. Thx!!!
Thank you for this workaround! Note: sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1″ did not work for me on OS X 10.10.2.
I almost had to tell my wife the shiny birthday present would not work on her old iMac, which has a feeble internal cd reader.
Thank you very very much!
Hi, when copy/paste from the instruction:
sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1″
will not work as the hyphens are incorrect.
The result in nvram is:
Correct string should be:
nvram boot-args="mbasd=%1″
subsequently the nvram becomes:
boot-args mbasd=%1
thanks for the tip I shall now reboot and see what happens :-)
Yep, SuperDrive is now recognized on my MBP 2009 (mid) Both VLC and MakeMKV works. Still get the Apple error-message for DVD Player as described above. I will not even bother with it.
Frustrating that we all have to jump through so many hoops to get something so simple to work right. Took me a while to find this, but it worked great. Thanks for the post.

Walkers take to Transcona Trail
The Transcona Trails are alive with the sounds of walkers.
Since June, seniors in Transcona have taken to the trails in order to remain active and social, as well as to explore their community.
About a dozen walkers attended the Aug. 21 walk, which began at the corner of McMeans Avenue West and Hoka Street, and ventured west to the Rotary Tall Grass Prairie Nature Park. The turnout was the group's highest yet, according to organizer Karen Janzen of the River East-Transcona Healthy Aging Resource Team.
The walks leave from a different location each week in order to give walkers a different perspective of the trail with every new walk.
The walks will continue next Wednesday, with walkers meeting at George Olive Park (McMeans Avenue East at Alex Taylor Drive). The walks leave at 10:30 a.m., and walkers head out for 30 minutes in one direction before returning.
The group has also planned to continue meeting into September, but meeting places have yet to be determined.
For more information on the walks, contact the River East-Transcona Healthy Aging Resource Team at 204-940-2114 or Winnipeg Regional Health Authority community facilitator Stacy Boone at 204-938-5305.
