11 December 2007
The historic cricket Oval in Southwark Park will be restored before the start of next season following a collaboration between the council and Surrey County Cricket Club.
The agreement was announced at a celebration to honour what would have been the 150th birthday of Bobby Abel, one of Surrey's all time greats and the greatest cricketer ever to come out of Southwark.
Abel - who remains Surrey's fifth highest run scorer of all time - played for the local first class team between 1881 and 1904, scoring 27,609 runs. He also played thirteen times for England, becoming the first to 'carry his bat' through an entire innings.
People attending the 'birthday party' - organised by Phil Burkett of Bermondsey Beat - included former England captain Mike Gatting, Mayor of Southwark Bob Skelly and Surrey wicket keeper batsman Jonathan Batty.
A council 'blue plaque' has been erected on the side of the Café Gallery in Southwark Park (formerly the park's cricket pavilion) to honour Abel's memory and the place he learned his trade.
In recent decades, the pitch has fallen into serious disrepair and is currently unusable for cricketing purposes.
However, in a deal which mirrors a partnership between Surrey and Lambeth Council (which led to a major regeneration of the cricketing facilities in Kennington Park), an artificial wicket will shortly be installed, allowing the pitch to be used by schools and individuals.
Following the installation of the artificial wicket, Surrey and the council intend to work together to improve the surroundings of the pitch, eventually setting up a Southwark Park Cricket Club who would take responsibility for the upkeep of the facilities.
George Foster, community officer at Surrey told the 'News': "We certainly want to get the first wheels in motion and get an artificial wicket down there for the start of next season.
"In the long term we'd like to establish a club there who can take control of the pitch and look after the square. 2008 will be the very early stages but there will some kind of provision there that hopefully schools can use or some people can just pitch up and play at."
A Southwark Council spokesperson said: "The council would like nothing better than to see cricket back at Southwark Park. We're currently seeking funding, but we're sure that by the time next summer rolls around there will be a brand new artificial ground that everyone in the community will be able to enjoy. We're particularly looking forward to seeing talented young people benefit - the next Bobby Abel could be just around the corner!"
Event organiser Phil Burkett added: "I was really pleased with how the function went, with the attendance of all the right people who can bring cricket back to Southwark Park.
"Pat Kingwell, Gary Magold and I had worked for nearly nine months on this project and bringing the right people together. What we need now is for Southwark, Surrey and the ECB to get talking and to reinstate the artificial surface, as a matter of urgency.
"Also, I would like to thank my good friend, Mr Barry Albin-Dyer for his generous donation that made this function a great success.
"It was a great day for Bermondsey and a fitting tribute to Bobby 'The Guv'nor' Abel on his 150th anniversary."

Wall Street [DVD]
Director : Oliver Stone
Screenplay : Stanley Weiser & Oliver Stone
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1987
Stars : Charlie Sheen (Bud Fox), Michael Douglas (Gordon Gekko), Martin Sheen (Carl Fox), Daryl Hannah (Darien Taylor), Terence Stamp (Sir Larry Wildman), Sean Young (Kate Gekko), Sylvia Miles (Realtor), James Spader (Roger Barnes), Hal Holbrook (Lou Mannheim), Saul Rubinek (Harold Salt)
Given that Oliver Stone made Wall Street directly on the heels of winning the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for Platoon (1986), it is not surprising that the two films are quite similar thematically, so much so that they make intriguing companion pieces despite their obvious differences. Both star Charlie Sheen as an idealistic young man who learns hard truths about life from two conflicting father figures. In Platoon, he learns truths in the steamy jungles of Southeast Asia; in Wall Street, his lessons are taught in the concrete jungle of New York City. In Platoon, his father figures are dueling sergeants fighting for control of his platoon in Vietnam. In Wall Street, he is torn between his real father (Martin Sheen), an honest, blue-collar plane mechanic and union leader, and his surrogate father figure, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), a take-no-prisoners corporate raider.
Douglas's Oscar-winning performance is a powerhouse of controlled aggression and vindictive cunning. Gekko, who rose from a city-college education to being one of the richest men in America, has no limits to his greed or willingness to bend ethical principles and the law to advance his goal of accumulating more money. Stone, whose father was a Wall Street broker, uses Gekko's power, wealth, and influence as the temptation in a modern-day morality play. Gekko has it all, but it's never enough. His is a game that can never be won because there is never a finish line to cross, only more to accumulate.
Sheen plays Bud Fox, who at the beginning of the film is a low-level trader with a huge trading firm, earning decent money making cold calls and investing for others, but never fulfilling his most ardent desires to make it to the big time. When his level-headed father, Carl (Martin Sheen), suggests that he may be going about life the wrong way, Bud replies, "There's no nobility in poverty anymore, Dad." Perhaps, but as the film eventually makes clear, there is no nobility in becoming rich by exploiting others, either.
Bud manages to work his way into Gekko's private circle, and the money comes pouring in. Soon, he is moving into an upscale penthouse and dating a beautiful interior designer (Daryl Hannah). He sees Gekko's world from the inside, and from the very start he knows that Gekko has built his empire on illegal insider trading and scare tactics. There are no illusions--Bud knows exactly what he's getting into, and he plunges right ahead, perhaps believing that he can somehow make good on it in the end. His idealism deludes him into believing that it's the end that matters, not the means.
Thus, when he convinces Gekko to help him buy out his father's struggling employer, Blue Star Airlines, in order to turn it around and make it profitable again, there is the real sense that Bud wants to do something positive with his newly acquired wealth and influence. His father is skeptical; he sees right through Gekko's rhetoric and sees that he is a shark who is just in it for the money, not to turn the company around and involve the workers. But, Bud doesn't see this because he's clouded by the possibilities; he's too taken with his own success to see the big picture. Thus, when it all comes crashing down, it is a true shock to him, if not to us.
Wall Street is something of a throwback to the business films of the 1950s (Stone has cited 1954's Executive Suite and 1957's Sweet Smell of Success as inspiration). The film certainly offers universal human truths about business dealings, yet it is also clearly a product of its time. Stylistically, Wall Street is very much a part of the late 1980s--tortoise-shell glasses, yellow power ties, big cell phones, slicked hair. It is a fast-paced, absorbing film that makes complicated business dealings understandable to the uninformed, yet still intriguing. The screenplay by Stone and Stanley Weiser is smart and lean, and Stone's direction is solid and confident without being overly flashy. His limited use of fast zooms, rapid edits, and canted camera angles foretell of the more extreme stylistic decisions that would come into play in his later films like JFK (1991), Natural Born Killers (1994), and Any Given Sunday (1999), while his soft spot for family dynamics clearly portends the sentimentality of World Trade Center (2006).
There is rarely a boring moment in Wall Street, and although its tone tends to get a bit didactic near the end, it never feels overly moralistic. Stone grounds his morality play in the day-to-day workings of everyday life, whether that be the hustle and bustle of Bud's trading company or meetings with his father at a smoke-filled pub in Queens. Stone gets the small moments just right, especially the scenes between Martin Sheen and Charlie Sheen as father and son, which play nicely into the larger whole. Wall Street is remembered mainly as a film that exposed the ugly underbelly of the greed-is-good corporate world of the 1980s, but it is also very much a human story about a father and son finally coming to understand each other.
Wall Street 20th Anniversary Edition DVD | |
Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 |
Anamorphic | Yes |
Audio | |
Subtitles | French, Spanish |
Supplements | |
Distributor | 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment |
Release Date | September 18, 2007 |
This is Wall Street's second time around the block on DVD, and for its 20th anniversary it has been given a new anamorphic transfer that is a significant improvement over the previously available disc, which was soft, grainy, and dull. The new transfer is much sharper, with better detail and a smoother look (the print used for the transfer also appears to have been in much better shape, as there is significantly less dirt and signs of age). Colors are also much improved, with more vibrant hues that bring out the go-go world of 1980s high finance. The audio options include a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround remix and the original four-channel mix in Dolby Digital. The film certainly shows that it is a product of the late 1980s with its dated musical score, but the new surround mix injects it with life. Dialogue is also clear and crisp, and when the surrounds are put into use the imaging is smooth and effective. The soundtrack also sounds clean, with no hiss or distortion of any kind. | |
Several of the supplements included in this two-disc 20th anniversary edition have been ported over from the old disc, while several others are new to this edition. From the old disc we get Oliver Stone's intriguing audio commentary, which shows what a personal film Wall Street was for him, as both the highly anticipated follow-up to Platoon and as a vehicle that is very much centered on his relationship with his own father, whose various personality traits are embedded in many of the male authority figures. Another repeat is Money Never Sleeps, a 45-minute retrospective documentary by Charles Kiselyak. It features interviews with all the principles, including Stone, Charlie Sheen, Martin Sheen, and Michael Douglas. The interviews are in-depth and very interesting, much more than the usual featurette interviews that are mostly back-slapping about how great everyone was to work with. Douglas talks about how Stone pushed him to be a better actor, and Martin Sheen notes numerous times how hard Stone came down on him when he tried to alter his lines. The documentary is padded out with a lot of clips from the movie and a few brief snippets of behind-the-scenes footage. New this time around is a brief introduction by Oliver Stone that kicks off the second disc. There is also the new 56-minute documentary Greed is Good, which goes in-depth into the world of high finance and how well the film reflects the realities of the business world. It features interviews with Stone, screenwriter Stanley Weiser, and actors Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, John McGinley, and Hal Holbrook, as well as numerous real-life Wall Street traders, investors, and corporate CEOs who offer their own in-the-trenches view of the film's subject. Also new to this disc are 22 minutes of deleted scenes (in anamorphic widescreen) with optional commentary by Oliver Stone. Some of these scenes are extended parts of scenes already in the film, while others are completely new, including several bits with a cameo by Penn Jillette. While it is great to get to see this footage that was left on the cutting room floor, it is all encoded as one piece so you can't select an individual scene to watch. |

Entrepreneurs and small business owners were able to borrow more finances in 2012 and growth was boosted due to this. Investing in web development services on http://www.connecttotheworld.com can further help these businesses grow, stated XSM.
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) January 05, 2013
Last year may not have ended on a merry note for most businesses due to the announcement of the fiscal cliff. However, it sure brought benefits to the sole proprietors and SMEs, stated Small Biz Trends. Small Biz Trends noted that 2012 saw the improvement of available financial loans to these small and medium business owners so that they could borrow more and invest in better growth opportunities. SBA lending was at one of its highest points in its entire history. A massive amount of $30 billion was distributed in loans. Other than the most common and most known sources of borrowing, borrowers also tried out different sources like 'crowd-sourcing,' etc. The news was posted on the 2nd of January on bit.ly/UH9Mol and stated, a better flow of finances surely meant more successful businesses.
XSM stated successful SMEs usually have brilliant ideas for growth and expansion. The only thing lacking is the flow of finance into the business. With extra finance such as easy loans, SMEs can also hope to make investments that will make them more efficient, cost-effective, and productive. Services such as website development and design can finally become more affordable and even smaller businesses can reap their benefits instead of just leaving them for the larger firms. These websites are not just a means to showcase the business' product offerings, but also allow major cost cutting in terms of lesser spending on traditional marketing. Widespread marketing can be done over the internet instead. This also promises a wider audience, more brand awareness and visibility, and eventually a greater brand equity as well.
XSM is the undefeated leader in the field of website development and design. It offers a wide range of services that are perfect for the sure success of various types of businesses. Its experience in the field can be checked against the many known businesses that have sought its aid. There are different packages for website development, link building, and business consulting on http://www.connecttotheworld.com. Custom packages are also readily available by XSM for the maximum ease of clients. Visit http://www.connecttotheworld.com for more information.

"If they want to ban guns, why not ban them in movies, television and video games?" asked reader Bill Smells in an iReport article inviting ideas for halting mass shootings. "Why do we allow the media and entertainment industries to glorify weapons and killings?
"If we're going to start regulating and banning weapons, why not start by aggressively banning and preventing the abuse of weapons in media?" Smells added. "Why do we allow our children and young adults to buy video games that put them in the position of being rewarded for shooting and killing other players?"
Commenters repeatedly mentioned the Entertainment Software Rating Board's system, saying parents should be as responsible about games their children play as they are about the movies they allow them to see.
David Kaelin, president of Texas-based video game chain Game Over, said part of the confusion around the issue is because some parents and other adults only deal with video games once a year, around Christmas.
Kaelin said he tries to help uninformed parents get the information they need, including ratings, before choosing gifts. But ultimately, he said, parents are responsible for keeping an eye on their kids.
"I have two young kids myself," Kaelin said. "For any parent to be able to be involved in whatever your kid's doing, you need to be (educated). You need to know what those things are."
Kaelin said he doesn't believe games are responsible for societal violence. But he said he thinks the way kids play them can tell parents a lot about possible problems, especially when a child is spending a lot of time alone on the computer.
"Go into their room and see what they're doing and what they're into," Kaelin said. "Being an active and involved parent is being a good parent."
That's a view echoed by many others.
"I would not consider buying my child a first-person shooter game," wrote a reader using the handle dxp2718. "My kids, admittedly, are too young to play video games like that, but they COULD play with toy guns, swords or soldiers if I let them have them -- and I wouldn't even think of it.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, area schools, businesses and town offices were either closed or had delayed openings Tuesday. Only eight Litchfield County towns are more than 50% without power, Tuesday morning with the larger cities like Torrington and Winsted being only about 20% without power.
In comparison to other parts of Connecticut, Torrington fared well following Sandy's churn up the Eastern United States.
Residents awoke Tuesday to some downed trees and power line damages, but city and utility crews worked through the night to make sure travel was possible. As of 10 a.m., Connecticut Light & Power was reporting an estimated 3,000 Torrington residents without power — about 20 percent of the city's population — and city officials are reporting only one closed road: Cedar Lane.
According to acting Fire Department Chief Gary Brunoli, no incidents involving people or structures were reported through the storm, which reached gusts of 75 miles per hour in some parts. Fire crews only responded to downed wires and tree limbs blocking roads, and with the department of public works and CL&P, managed to clear roadways for the morning commute.
Torrington Emergency Management Director Rick Dalla Valle reported Tuesday evening that city officials are lifting the state of emergency ban and have closed the emergency operations center, following the successful reaction and clean-up effort caused by storm Sandy.
Debris has been cleared by Torrington Public Works crew members, but they will not be cleaning up debris in private property, like they did last year. "We don't have the resources to do that again," Dalla Valle said.
Residents can place yard waste in biodegradable bags as an alternative, or in bundles not exceeding 50 pounds, according to a city press release. Individual branches measuring up to four feet long and three inches in diameter can be placed with waste, and left during the same day as garbage pickup.
Winsted residents may be in the dark — superintendent of schools Thomas Danehy said that 22 percent of the town is without power as of 5 p.m. — but the lessons of 2011's severe storms were not lost on Winsted officials.
Town Manager Dale Martin confirmed that there were no injuries or deaths as a result of the hurricane, although fallen trees damaged two houses in town. Continued...
"I think they punched some holes in the roofs," Martin said, "but the families are still able to live in those homes."
Connecticut Light and Power was directed by state government to clear roads before focusing on restoring power, and that work is continuing in Winsted.
As of 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Finn Street, Platt Hill Road, Mountain Avenue, Rugg Brook Road, Skinner Road, Losaw Road, Vons Lane and Spring Street were closed, but crews had already reopened Losaw Road as of 2 p.m. and were working to restore access to the rest of the streets.
"The state decided that should be CL&P's priority," Martin said.
Unlike the winter storm which hit Connecticut just over one year earlier, Winsted residents should not be left without power for prolonged periods. Connecticut Light and Power will work on restoring electricity overnight, and Winsted officials made arrangements before the hurricane hit to avoid the 10-day outages from the winter storm.
"As a result of the last storms," said Martin, "we had three out-of-state crews positioned in town before the storm hit, so we were ready to respond."
Litchfield First Selectman Leo Paul said they have 1,800 residents without power and a number of roads closed and still working with CL&P. There are 11 roads that are now closed that is expected to be cleared today.
"That will be our first priority today," said Mr. Paul on Tuesday.
First Selectman Leo Paul said, "We're perfectly happy with what they [CL&P] are doing with us, we had a crew in the outset of the storm they helped us clear roads up until 9:30 p.m. and they are back here today working with public works today."
First Selectman Leo Paul said Halloween is still on in Litchfield, however, their entire center of our town is without power. "We will have to decide tomorrow." Continued...
Morris First Selectman Barbara Bongiolatti said half of the Morris community are without power. The last reported to her was 700 approximately more or less.
There are two roads that are blocked, a tree crew from the town garage are going to it. Woodward Road and Isaiah Smith Lane should be cleared this morning.
"I have one square mile area of farms in the Lakeside section [of Morris] that are all without power," said Mrs. Bongiolatti. "They are trying to run these farms. We have one man on oxygen on Stoddard Road we are just concerned."
The emergency operation center was open yesterday at 4 p.m. and the fire department worked well into the night and the emergency operation center is open if anybody needs anything.
"Right at this point they [CL&P] are only clearing roads, I am not too happy that they can't start restoring power. It's a serious situation," said Morris First Selectman Barbara Bongiolatti.
Lisa Galinski, in charge of Trunk or Treat said — Trunk or Treat is still on for [Wednesday], we're doing the trunk or treat from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at James Morris School, if it rains it will be in Morris Firehouse. Halloween overall is still on in the towns.
Bethlehem First Selectman Jeffrey Hamel said Bethlehem continues to have wires, falling trees down like other towns there is a lot of debris in the roads. "CL&P is here and doing what they can," said Mr. Hamel.
Superintendent Alan Beitman said they are waiting to see if they will have school tomorrow.
They have power at all 4 schools even though Harwinton was hit the worst.
A lot of roads are closed so Beitman is working with the buses and road crews. If they can't get the roads cleared and open then schools will be closed tomorrow. Continued...
The hurricane did not impact much as far as major events go.
Beitman said that the interscholastic tournaments for high school sports teams are waiting to hear from the SCIA about rescheduling since a lot of the teams they play are in towns without power.

PGA Tour Drops Disney from 2013 Schedule
The PGA Tour's event in Mexico will anchor a six-tournament schedule next fall that for the first time since 1971 will not include Disney World.
Disney World has been part of the PGA Tour landscape since Jack Nicklaus won the inaugural event in 1971, not to mention one of the favorite weeks of the year for players with young families. It lost its title sponsor this year and did not renew.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Re: PGA Tour Drops Disney from 2013 Schedule
Sorry to hear that. I hate to see traditions end.

Falken Creative on Logofi
Haven't seen him post in a few weeks, but FalkenCreative has his logo featured on the front page of Logofi. When I saw it I thought, "Wait, I know that logo!".
Congrats if you're still reading!yeah congrats, it is a brilliant logoyay congratz :DHey guys -- thanks for the mention! The logo is doing better (votes-wise) than I expected it to.
I'm still around... sorry, I've been neglecting posting, I've just been very busy. My freelance business is going really well, but the downside of that is that I am probably working about 60 hours a week (36ish at my regular job, and about 20ish a week on freelance projects), plus college classes, so I haven't had all that much time to post online. For a while, I was posting consistently on three different forums (killersites.com/forum, the SmashingMag forum and this one) but it required a lot of effort to keep up. And now I have Twitter to keep up on, though that isn't as big of a deal...
I have quite a few big changes coming up in the next few months -- a 500+ mile move, transferring to a new college to complete my design/computer science degree, finding a full time design/web job, moving in with my girlfriend, and a month of travel in Thailand as part of a student volunteer/tourism group... Hopefully when things slow down a bit I'll be around more. I'll check back in every so often. :)Wow, sounds like things are going very well! (albeit incredibly busy)
Good luck with everything.Congrats to Ben! Glad to have your logo on the website! Very honored :)
Thanks for visiting and inspiring! :D

THE PARIS GAME (June 17, 2013)
On the darker side of Paris, it's dangerous to not pay your debts…A singer in a jazz club past its prime, Sera Durand must come up with thousands of euros to pay back her boss, a ruthless gangster. A confrontation with her ex, an art dealer profiting on the wrong side of the law, leads her into a questionable wager, but one that could solve her problems.
Marc Perron knows a winning proposition when he sees one. Seducing a shy young woman of Sera's acquaintance will be the easiest thing in the world, and the prize, to have Sera in his bed once again, is worth the chance of losing a sizable sum. What he didn't expect was the depth of Sera's desperation.
When one of his deals goes awry, Marc's solution could cost them more than money…

Her relief at not having to pose for a man turns to infatuation as she observes Lise during their sessions, creating fantasies in her mind during the hours she poses.Colette has no idea if Lise would return her affections and when she finally gets up the courage to ask her out, their connection is more than she'd ever hoped for. However, a few days later, Lise introduces her to Marcel, her former fiance. They seem intimately involved and Colette is devastated. Will her dreams of Lise be unrequited?

Movie Review: Black Swan
All I hoped for when I bought a ticket to this film was that it wasn't going to turn me off the ballet 'Swan Lake' for the rest of my life. Fortunately, it didn't.

I have a child 8 who is asking for work when they get home from school but I am having difficulty searching the web to find "worksheets" in maths, english or science, any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you Reply To This Message Re: Primary internet sites Author: Nadine Date: 26-02-04 18:48 If you go to Sites For Teachers - www.sitesforteachers.com - you will find hundreds of websites packed with resources for primary school teachers (and above). For example - www.worksheets4teachers.com - has heaps of free, just-print-off worksheets to use. They're excellent for make-work, or supplementing a unit study. I used them heaps when my dd was a toddler, although I find them a bit simplistic now that she is older - depending on the functioning mental age of your 8 year old, you may find more appropriate worksheets at upeer primary or intermediate level. Most of the sites are American, and their standard of education seems lower than ours. May I give you a little advice though? This probably sounds presumptuous coming from the parent of a 4 year old - you've btdt much longer than I have. But have you thought about, instead of make-work worksheets and the like, encouraging your child to get interested in a topic and doing a unit study on it? They might find that route more creative, innovative, and stimulating, especially if they can choose any topic they like. For example, my dd has just finished detailling her obsession with dinosaurs (finally!) and we are now doing the solar system. If you type "unit studies" into google, you will find websites that help you to understand the concept and create your own studies. Or you could simply do what my dd and I do - we create a book on the topic, with pages from loose leaf paper that we collect between two sheets of card and have professionally bound ($3.50). If she does crafts on the topic, we take photos and put them in the book too. Its fun and a great educational resource for younger children. Good luck, Nadine. Reply To This Message Re: Primary internet sites Author: prathima Date: 26-02-04 21:12 Thanks Nadine for this very useful information.I have been having the same problem with my son who has just turned 5 and started school. We too have been taking a topicat a time. Started off with the solarsystem and went on to the human body and are now back to the space. But we just used the library for books and CD roms. I think doing a unit study will more organised and give him something to work on continuosly. He likes school, but looks at it as a place to play and socialise. The school has been very helpful in letting him work at his own level, but they too have their own limitations and constarints. So its upto us at home to keep him stimulated. I am sure your idae will help us a lot. Thanks again. Prathima Reply To This Message Re: Primary internet sites Author: Nadine Date: 27-02-04 05:19 Hi Prathima :-) I much prefer library books to the internet, but that is probably just my dd's learning style. She can take a book to bed, she can't take the computer! Also, I do have to say that you can organise and study a topic in much more DEPTH if you rely on books rather than websites. At no time have I ever found the internet superior to the library. It is good for things like worksheets to supplement reading, and for fun on-line games based on the topic, eg >www.kidsdomain.com/games/space.html< for the solar system. But nothing beats books! By the way, I'd appreciate hearing about any good ideas that you may come up with about the solar system. I am not scientific, but my dd is, and I often struggle to think of fun scientific things for her to do. All the best, Nadine Reply To This Message Re: Primary internet sites Author: Early Childhood teacher Date: 28-02-04 23:24 I just wanted to say that the sites and ideas that have been listed have been very helpfull, any more Im sure will help myself and other families, it has been great to see my request develop into a feast of ideas and sharing. Thank you ECE Teacher Reply To This Message Re: Primary internet sites Author: prathima Date: 29-02-04 00:18 Nadine I totally agree with u that no technology can replace books and the library. We too have been doing all our study and gathering of info from books. However, I have been using CD roms to supplement what books are not able to do. Especially with the solar system and Universe and also the human body the DK series CD roms ahve really been useful. Know he actually has seen how the planets move around the suns, the craters on the moon and also the volcanoes on mars. The list is endless. The same is the case ith the human body. The interactive activities are real fun. U can get these from the library. Another activity u can do with ur daughter (i.e if u have'nt done it already) is a visit to the planetarium. Avoid the pre schoolers show, she may find it too elementary. We have also made models of the solar system using cardboard and simulated the day and night experiments with table lamp for the sun and a ball or the globe for the earth. I'll keep u updated as we design more experiments. I wish we were living closer, then we could have got the two together. It would be nice for him to have a child to discuss things with instead of having to do it only with adults. U live in Auckland, don't u. Prathima Reply To This Message Re: Primary internet sites Author: Nadine Date: 29-02-04 19:29 Yes, I live in Auckland. I am planning to take dd to the - god, I can't remember its proper name. The planetarium will do! I'm hoping to drag along some other homeschoolers too, so if anyone sees this and wants to come along, email me :-) Thanks for the info about the cd-roms, I shall look for them!

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Binghamton City Council members voted on two resolutions aimed at fighting crime. Councilors voted to allow the city to enter an agreement with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for Operation Impact and approved the application for a $50,000 Explosive Canine Team Grant from the New York State Division of Homeland Security.
"This evening we voted on two resolutions for the Binghamton Police Department to address strategic planning for crime prevention services. We have applied for a grant for community impact funds. The second one we applied for a grant, the police department applied for a canine unit for help with explosives detection and we're hoping to get that grant as well," said Lea Webb, (D) Binghamton City Council.
The Binghamton Police Department currently has four K9 units. Handler and dog teams search for criminals and missing persons, retrieve evidence, and more.

Home > Current Students > Curriculum > Alphabetical Course List > Course Details Course DetailsChild Advocacy and Juvenile Justice
Description:The Child Advocacy Clinic is a two-semester clinic offered annually since 1995. The clinic gives students practical experience in handling family law and juvenile law cases with an emphasis on children's rights. Weekly classroom sessions cover such topics as interviewing, negotiation, and motion practice. Students earn a total of four credits to be allocated between the semesters. Beginning in the fall semester, students handle three to four cases over the academic year. The cases are selected to provide students with a variety of experience in pretrial procedure, negotiation, discovery, and courtroom practice. The Child Advocacy Clinic also has a project with the Hennepin County Public Defender's Office to provide representation to juveniles in CHIPS (Children in Need of Protection and Services) matters in juvenile court. Additional cases involve family court custody and Guardian ad Litem representation for the Hennepin County Guardian ad Litem program. The clinic is designed with a classroom component, a simulation component and an actual case-handling component in family and juvenile court. The classroom and simulation portions of the course occur during the first semester. The classroom component consists of topics specifically relating to children's issues including child development and interviewing children. The simulation component revolves around mock cases designed to familiarize students with family and juvenile court procedure. The actual case component of the course stretches over both semesters. |

What is it all about?
The Cyclic Nucleotide Project offers cylic nucleotide-related data for the main binding proteins of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP.
At times where only PKA and PKG and one or two phosphodiesterases were known, things appeared quite easy: One could choose between dibutyryl or 8-bromo modified cAMP or cGMP.
However, with the discovery of many more active elements of the cyclic nucleotide signal transduction system, such as kinase isozymes, CNG channels, EPAC and PDEs, the development of much more selective and sophisticated analogues discriminating between the different binding partners has been pushed forward as well.
Nowadays, even for experts in the field it is difficult to pick out a suitable cAMP or cGMP analogue from meanwhile several hundred structures for a specific task, or to interpret corresponding data from other labs.
The Cyclic Nucleotide Project has collected data for many cyclic nucleotide analogues with respect to all important receptor proteins and offers a convenient search tool. In addition, many references are provided.

UPM RFID and SimpleNFC launch TapThatTag NFC tag Android app
Posted by Seth Planck
August 18th, 2011 at 9:26 AM Filed Under Galleries, Latest NewsUPM RFID and SimpleNFC launch TapThatTag Android app which helps users select the exact NFC tag they need effortlessly
UPM RFID and SimpleNFC (the company behind CustomerIn) have launched an Android app called TapThatTag that teaches users all about NFC tags. The two active companies in the NFC space have got together and launched a new Android app that allows users to pick the exact NFC tag they need for a specific project. When it comes to NFC tags, it can be a mine field to know what you need. There are NFC tags designed for indoor use, NFC tags designed for outdoor use and different NFC tags for stickers and smartposters. That just covers a few areas of NFC tags and doesn't even touch on memory size, whether the tag is rewritable, whether an admin can lock the data on the tag, or even whether the data needs to be encoded at the factory and then remains unwritable from that point on. As an emerging industry, NFC tags have spawned different tags for different environments with different capabilities in different use cases. Okay, I think we've made our point that unless you are used to dealing with NFC tags, it can be a little confusing picking the right tag for a specific job. TapThatTag app guides you through the process.
How to turn your non NFC phone into a NFC-enabled phone
Posted by Seth Planck
June 07th, 2011 at 4:03 PM Filed Under Latest News, VideosHow to turn your non NFC phone into a NFC-enabled phone
So you have heard about Google Wallet and Visa PayWave and are stuck in a contract for the next two years and find yourself wondering how you can turn your non NFC phone into a NFC-enabled phone. Well, it turns out that there are a few options in the market place. Out of the three options, two do not involve you selling your soul to your wireless carrier, which we consider is a good thing, right? The options available take different approaches to allowing you to turn your non NFC phone into a NFC-enabled phone including Micro SD memory cards, NFC Stickers & NFC sim cards. Off hand we can't think of a mobile phone that wouldn't fit into one of those categories so without further ado lets look at NFC Micro SD cards.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Today all around Internet what I am seeing is just Maya, Maya, Maya Khan! Oh common people get over it. You guys have had much of it. For those who don't know what actually happened read this:
Subah Saveera with Maya Khan on Samaa TV actually chases people sitting in a park and asks them why are they sitting there. Firstly it is NOT ILLEGAL for two people to sit [date] in a park, and secondly it was shocking to see the host and other women running and chasing after individuals sitting in the park to an extent of trying to trap them. In my opinion they exhibited highly intrusive, invasive and potentially irresponsible behavior - it is the kind of vigilantism which no different than the mob that cornered the two brothers in Sialkot and enforced their own reaction for the benefit of society, Maya Khan may have initiated a precedence today and may potentially open the door for chase and capture vigilantism - Irresponsibility of the highest degree
And This Video:
well I feel like sick! Oh people we all know that this was a cheap show and quite lame vulgarity but why you guys are pointing Maya Khan for this directly, she did it but it was like she had to do it for her jobs sake. She was just the host of the show and she had to do whatever was in the script. The script is to be checked by Samaa Television to see if that show could be produced and on aired. They allowed such a vulgar shit to be done and on-aired. She just did what was in her script. Why not target Samaa Television for all this vulgarity; they scripted it, they recorded it, they promoted such vulgarity. They should have thought about the consequences about what they are doing. Okay so now stop criticizing Maya. She did what she was ordered to do; she did it to make her money. The main culprit is Samaa Tv.
We all need to first analyze the situation and then pass our comments on such shit. Shame of Samaa Tv for this. I wish they get fined heavily for this, so that they may learn a lesson..
Share this real thing with people. Let them know the root problem and Get over Maya Khan.

The way I see it there are two states of mind that I need to have for my karate training. I would guess that many others use something sort of the same mindsets.
At the start of learning something new or perfecting something I need to be mindful of what I a doing. I need to watch and listen to my teacher and absorb what is being said. I need to be able to practice what I was taught effectively paying close attention to the details of the task sat hand. Being mindful helps me to be careful in how I am training my muscle memory. Trying to change your muscle memory after even a short amount of time can be enough to drive some batty.
The mindful part of training can make or break you in someways. It is so important in making a persons basics a strong foundation to their karate training. You can practice for years and years, but all of that practice can be a waste of time if what you are doing is incorrect. Incorrect practice just reinforces sloppy bad techniques that not even you mother likes. If feel we must be mindful in our techniques and our practice.
Mushin, or "without mind". This the other half of the puzzle for to me. You need your Mushin to take over when you need it in a real life or death situation, while you are playing kata at a testing/grading or tournament or anywhere that you need to get specific job done and you need your training to take over. The last thing you want is to be looking like you are thinking all you are in front of judges or being thinking too much as someone tries to end your life for enough money to their next hit of crack.
Part of the way I see the mushin is that it is a state of mind where you need your training to take over from (hopefully) years of mindful training to save your life.
Hopefully I will write on this more later, since I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what I could say about this.
IF anyone actually reads this and they disagree or or agree, let me know! I am no expert on this (or anything else for that matter), but I like to always learn and hear no ideas.
