Catalog # W-1930alt.#1SPECIAL EDITION - (2) CHECKER BOARDS IN ONECheckers is a game for many different levels of play, pitting novice against novice or master against master. This double sided game board is made of solid hardwood, Hard Maple and Black Walnut, with the TOP side having glass marbles as the checkers. Each 1" diameter glass marble is either black or red. There are a total of (24) glass marbles, consisting of (12) checkers ( marbles ) of each of the (2) colors. With the fact that all the pieces look similar, because they are 1" glass marbles, one must study the board during a game a little harder so as not to make any mistakes. On the BOTTOM side, it has Walnut stained and Clear coated Birch Wood Checkers. Each checker is 1-1/4" in diameter. There are 12 checkers of each of the two colors. It has the ability to be an interior decorative piece as well as the game board. The size is 12-1/2" wide and 15" long, with a hand rubbed natural oil finish.There are holes at the forefront of each end for each player to place his captured pieces during play so they don't roll around and get misplaced. We also include general instructions on how to play the basic game and the final objective. This will help only if you have forgotten or need to freshen up on the way the pieces move on the board. They will not teach you how to implement certain strategies nor how to win the game. The glass marbles and the wooden checkers are each packaged in a velour pouch with a double drawstring.The pouch has a saying, "SHOOT MARBLES - NOT DRUGS"For 2 players ; [ difficulty : CHECKERS - simple to medium ]The marble size of 1" ( 25mm ) means the following:1. More safety around younger children.2. A plus factor for the elderly, because they are an easier size to pick up with arthritic hands.3. The bright colors of the larger sized marbles assist with poor vision associated with the elderly.The Wooden Checkers are 1-1/4" in diameter:1. These are also easy for the elderly to pick up and maneuver.2. They have a non-toxic finish on them.The game board is designed to be able to set out permanently on display as a decorative piece when not being played with. This type of setting invites family participation more often. The family that plays together enjoys life a lot more.

I can't see Darkos agent settling for that. He will field all offers and I suspect there will be some juicy ones. Darko is showing just enough to support the hype of several years ago.
The more they talk about Brian Hill returning, the better it sounds for Darko to get outta town. I was watching the Lakers last night after the Piston game and it seems that they could use him. I would bet that Koby might even get him the ball and Phil would promote it. Playing with a mobile superstar, maybe the best player in the game today, would be good for DMC. Brian has no clue as to how to coach a basketball team and whether we like him or not, Phil is a top level coach. As far as Orlando is concerned, having Dwight there to absorb all the entry passes into the middle, DMC gets so few chances it is ridiculous to the extreme. Dwight leads the league in turnovers and he is the one they try to go to in crunch time. And without JJ or another outside threat on the floor, it isn't going to improve much, soon. When they go through Darko, he gets the ball to Dwight in much better position than any of the guards. Sorry if I hi-jacked the thread to comment on your thought, but I think we have pretty much established that the Pistons are THE club in the east so we don't have to keep :deadhorse !!
What I mean what I speak about "other" teams is the few who can pay Darko more than his qualifying offer/lowball from Orlando. Not too many teams have cap space, and of those, there are going to be several big name free agents that may tempt them over DMC. Money wise, Darko is strapped to Orlando in my opinion. But if he isn't concerned about playing for a more modest income in the right opportunity, then there are many teams in the league who will be interested in his services.
The local Seattle papers have been speculating that Orlando will pick up Rashard Lewis to replace Grant Hill. Not sure if they would have the money for a near max deal for Lewis and still pay the kid and his agent big bucks.
… you almost don't want to take him out of the game because he does so much for us with the ball " - com'mon that's how you feel about all your fantastic starters. you love to play them, it's like music to your eyes. - R36, what about trade bait for Darko? I'm sure there are teams that would gladly ditch 3 or 4 of their bodies to get Darko. Thus making cap space.
The Collective Bargaining Agreement doesn't work like that. If you cut guys, their salaries stay on the books until the buyouts expire. If you trade guys, you have to take back similar value in contracts or contract markers.

Here's what I really don't get. If I was going outside to smoke myself a jay, or whatever the kids call it these days, why wouldn't I just leave my id in my desk or locker? Given that it would be quite plausible for a kid to leave her id in her desk or locker, how could you trust that you were getting valid info on who left campus?
Because they aggressively police the hallways and haul children to the principal's office for detention and a haranguing if they don't have a hall pass and their student ID.
If I'm caught on the way to get stoned I would think a haranguing for forgetting my ID is the least of my worries. I grew up in the '80s, maybe I just don't understand the level of security at school these days. Do kids just not misbehave until they're off campus nowadays?
No. Instead, exactly the same thing happens as in Prohibition; everyone violates the rules because they rules are nonsensical, and the administration chooses who to come down on for their own reasons.
I don't think you understand the nature of simple logic. The chip doesn't have to be trusted for you to verify that something is up, just the scanner. I can dupe another student's card if I want to land him in detention, but I'd then have to physically pickpocket his card in order for two copies of him to not appear to the system. At no point do I have to trust anything except the fact that the scanner is telling me that the student exists in two places simultaneously: obviously wrong. This isn't rocket surgery. Scanners designed to track the movement of people and/or deny entry/exit to unauthorized personnel (i.e. don't have credentials in the form of an RFID tag) generally alarm in some fashion or trigger a surveillance device when something moves through them without a tag via the magic of infrared breakbeam detectors (which are actually pretty cheap, being just oddly configured diodes). So if the teacher runs off to the photocopier and you sneak out while leaving your tag behind it's entirely possible that any system they put in place took your picture and alarmed the principal's office.
So I walk into class with Sheepherder, reflash my RFID card (literally that easy, I can do it with a smartphone without taking the phone out of my pocket), walk out, do some shenanigans, walk back in. At that point you fall back to relying on the teacher... who, if you were relying on the teacher already, you don't need the RFID system. Untrusted information isn't useful.
Presumably you'd need to read my RFID first, to know what it is. Which means walking to within a meter of me and not anybody else, pulling out your phone, and doing a search of radio frequencies. You know:
So all I have to do is run an app that does a radio frequency scan within a meter of you and records it? And you think this is hard? Ooookay.
Or you could just not bother and have them try to explain and prove to the authorities which copy was actually him, and that it was the legit one. After all it's just bonus trouble for the person you wanted to drop in hot water. The entire system is dumb in general, given it relies on something that's by no means given -- that is, that the chip with the student's ID is actually carried by the student who's supposed to carry it. Wonder if it's going to take more than a day for someone to just leave the thing in their room to gain "perfect" alibi that they were staying on campus when they really weren't. edit: and yeah, standing wih a phone out close to someone else isn't exactly suspicious since it happens often as it is -- just pretend you are talking with someone over the phone or texting them, and no fucks will be given.
Umm, yes, yes it is. Because everyone in the classroom has a cellphone, tag, and possibly a laptop that is also broadcasting on one frequency or another. Also, we haven't yet gotten into encryption, presumably tags could be outfitted with such, since students are generally valued more than a pair of jeans. Everyone here who has a cellphone that can brute force even a relatively weak cryptographic function in the length of a class raise their hand!
Do all these devices use RFID protocol to broadcast, and are they all within a meter of the person you're attempting to scan?
Everyone with a Android or iOS smartphone, raise your hand. Also, as someone who has very recently done a very thorough look at encrypted RFID, it all massively, monstrously sucks.
Everyone who have a tough go of Google, raise your hand. Translation: with a degree in electrical engineering or programming you too can skip class!
So 7 years ago, assuming you don't let students take the RFID cards home, and assuming that you cross-verify rigorously everything that the RFID system might ever tell you, along with ensuring that no student is ever within one meter of only one other student at a time, the system works perfectly!
Well yes, but that would sort of make it hard to do it in class, now wouldn't it? The whole "stand and let you FPGA array interrogate the pass uninterrupted for ten hours" thing. But hey, watch out guys, when everyone's phone is rocking a Core2Duo shit's gonna get real! For everyone still using 40-bit encryption. I mean, really?
So you are, just to make sure I get this right, assuming that the school successfully prevents anyone from taking their IDs home? Also, I should point out that I know the guys who did the hack in the article in question, which amuses me greatly. Ari's a cool guy, but the only reason that article doesn't have a line like "and then we implemented the hack in software and managed to clone a key in five minutes with a decent laptop" is because they didn't really feel like doing it, not because it would have been hard. (In fact, it would have been boring, which is sufficient reason not to do any work past the point where you're done working a project up for publication.)
Oh for Christ's sake at this point just stop speculating and talk in hypotheticals. You guys have no idea what these do, what, specifically they're being used for, or, pretty much anything so all you're doing now is "I bet they do this." "No, you don't know that, I bet they do this!" You know the worst part about these badges? The way they make children's heads explode if they think about cookies!
On the other hand, he's not a high school student who wants more smoke breaks who also apparently has a ninja-like ability to detect when the teacher isn't in the room so he can dodge out and in with neither the teacher nor the scanner catching him. I trust he will do the right thing and take this secret (and any potential ninja teachings he may be able to pass on) to the grave.
It doesn't take grad-student-level skills to replicate a published exploit. It doesn't take ninja-like abilities to detect when the teacher is or isn't in the room. I'll give you this. There are theoretically decent, cryptographically secure RFID systems*. In the hands of an intelligent, technologically-literate, competent, and fair administration, they would be a significant aid to the policing of the students. I don't think that's a sane way to approach schooling, and I don't think that's a sane set of assumptions. * Generally they're using asymmetric crypto and decent key-length RSA, but even so, providing an oracle is rarely going to be met with joy from the security guys.
The published exploit involves FPGA's. You might lose a high school student explaining that with a few transistors you can create a logical AND. It's all about the high level languages now. Or maybe the math teachers they roped into playing CS teacher where I live skipped shop to blaze some trees. True story: a kid in my high school thought it would be a great idea to empty an aerosol can of bear mace in a stairwell, cementing his reputation as an elite ninja or something. Having discovered that it didn't spray fast enough to suit him, he then grabbed it in both fists and started slamming it against a square metal railing. Naturally, the can failed eventually, releasing it's contents. You can see where I'm going, right? EDIT: It all truly is sort of beside the point though, I can't really argue with that. Attendance requirements always struck me as sort of retarded.
Ok, Jesus. Enough with hypotheticals and reductivism. Here. There's some illuminating information in here. Yes, it's a student publication, but it's about as close of a source you're going to get. 1. The school is instituting this because of the loss of ADM (average daily membership) dollars. Schools report attendance to the district, and get funded based on that attendance. The district will take money away if there is a question of students attending class (but will expect the school to educate those students anyhow if they are still enrolled. I know, don't ask me.). 2. There are about 2,900 students in this particular school. 3. There is a procedure for up to NINE offenses of students being tardy to first hour in a six-week period (That's a minimum 70% attendance rate) before they start looking at removing the student from class. They need ADM monies!!! 4. There are about 100 scanners on campus. I don't know how big the campus is, but I think it includes two schools (Jay and Jay-STEM). 5. Students are required to wear their ids on the front of their person at all times on campus. They do take their IDs home. 6. The school says multiple times that the IDs don't work off campus. I know that they are probably lying. Just putting that out there. And so on. If we are going to debate the system and whether it will work better than eyeballs, let's actually stick to facts. Is this compliance worth the cost?
I will bet you nine million imaginary dollars that their RFID cards are not cryptographically secure. Anyway, if all they do is do attendance shit and don't try to use it for actually tracking kids' whereabouts, then it will only be futile, unnecessary, and moderately offensive, rather than actively damaging.
Is anyone likely to give enough of a crap to crack/hack their school ID card in a way that might be interesting or relevant? I mean a school isn't a military base that dedicated teams are going to want to break through the security of. AFAIK there is no real way for sinister hacker/paedos to use the RFID chips in the cards to 'track kids everywhere' without also installing a citywide system of RFID scanners and somehow ensuring that the kids wear their ID badges when not going to and from school, at which point there are far easier ways for this mega paedophile to track kids. Finally there are so many simpler ways for dedicated kids to thwart the system other than hacking the chips that I imagine even the most nerdy would just do that instead if they wanted to bunk school (except if they are nerds they probably enjoy school in the first place). So what I'm saying is that the inherent level of security in RFID chips is really pretty irrelevant to this story, its being used because it is cheaper and about as effective for the average student than employing people to patrol the corridors and collate the manual data. The real question is whether you think kids should have their rough location (to the nearest scanner) monitored at every step of the school day or not (100 scanners seems like more than just an in or out of school grounds thing) and whether you think school funding incentives should be setup by local government to encourage this level of attendance monitoring. The method being used is really a red herring.
That's why I put 'interesting or relevant' on there. If some geek does it just to 'beat the man' it doesn't really affect the overall picture in terms of school security/padeogeddon/whatever. I mean in terms of skipping class it's a lot easier just to have a friend carry the ID in their pocket or use one of the old classics like a sick note than hacking your card to err... stop it registering you while you are in school so you get in trouble and then explain how you were there the whole time but hacked your card, smug-face-aren't-I-so-smart? I can see someone doing it once or twice but really that is statistical noise.
I don't know about your homeroom, but my homeroom teacher assigned a student to take the roll call. We all knew who the student was, so we would find her sometime in the morning before homeroom and check in with her. "Hey Lisa, I'm here, okay?" She would say okay, stop in for homeroom and check everyone off who checked in with her. Most everyone stopped going to homeroom and everyone was happy. My homeroom teacher later became a state representative.
How much money the school gets is tied to attendance. If they can show an RFID print out as evidence they'll get in less trouble if it's proven false than if they told the teachers to fudge the numbers.
In my school at least you didn't ditch homeroom, you ditched a class later. So in theory attendance had little to do with who showed up in the first place, but more with who stuck around. That said: tying funding to attendance seems like a terrible idea with little redeeming value for the students. It seems more like punting the responsibility for figuring out how to educate better to the teachers, and then yanking funding for under performing schools. Which, you know, doesn't start a spiral of further performance issues that yank even more funding etc etc. I guess what I'm trying to get at is: how does this system help the core goal of educating students?
I am weary generally of the insistence on trying to solve with technology what should be human problems. If your students aren't showing up to class, maybe your efforts would be better spent on figuring out why.
That's a little unfair. I'm pretty sure they have been trying to figure out why. When I found that student publication, I also found a newsletter that communicated what students were missing when they missed school (for example, you don't get full credit for a class if you miss more than 10% of the classes). That sounds like a positive response to try to communicate to students the natural consequences of their actions. Now, I will say that this solution won't work because it leads to as many problems as it solves, and doesn't actually change student behavior (it will probably change teacher behavior, since they don't NEED to take attendance anymore unless it's for their own purposes).
Communicating long term consequences to students doesn't often work because a lot of them aren't thinking long term yet. It's why we don't let them do a bunch of shit in the first place. I had a lot of discussions about my GPA and going to the colleges I wanted to go to, but I had little interest in what that actually meant for Real Life outside school. My issue wasn't skipping class (I skipped.. one class, ever. And we spent the hour watching Thundercats while everyone else was stoned and I was wondering why I agreed to this idiocy), my issue was doing Homework which I adamantly refused to be bothered with.

She has also been an accomplished ski race, skater, a seasoned tennis player and even enjoyed windsurfing.
Her late husband Walter was a Dartmouth alum, and that led to years of outdoors fun with the Dartmouth Outing Club.
They would ski on boards with no edges. Imagine that. And the things were huge and you had lace-up boots and bear trap bindings and they did not come off easily. And you were lucky if there was a surface lift that would tear your mittens to shreds but get you at least up the hill instead of hoofing it.
"I mean you don't have to wax your skis anymore," she told Stephen Garfield of the Bristol Enterprise in a 1988 article "The bindings are light years better than what they used to be -- all this is good for the sport."
Through her injuries and bumps and bruises over the years, she has been able to get back up and out. But now, she said, at age 86, she is happy to watch the skiers and boarders out enjoying themselves at Ragged.
"It's fun still," she said.

Semester News
New Items for Semester 2013B
New Phase 1 Tool (PIT)
The Phase I Tool (PIT) has been revised for 2013B; see the PIT page for downloads and the help pages for the PIT for further information. The PIT has been updated to include the likely visitor instruments, DSSI/Speckle and TEXES.
Exchange Time
A minimum of 5 nights have been promised on Subaru in semester 2013B. Instrument availability is summarised in the Gemini 2013B Call, as well as the Subaru 13B Call. Due to the mirror coating, the Subaru telescope is not available until around September 20 in 2013B.
No Keck exchange time is offered in 2013B.
Target Accessibility
Target accessibility limits for 2013B are, for Gemini North 17 < RA < 13.5 and -37 < dec < +90, and for Gemini South 16 < RA < 12 and -90 < dec < +28. There are additional constraints if a program requires unrestricted access (e.g. MOS pre-imaging, long observations or observations with strict constraints), or the laser AO system at Gemini North or South. GSAOI+GeMS is restricted to RA 19h to 11h and Dec -75d to +15d. GMOS-South may not be available between mid-October and November, for a detector upgrade; targets with RA 23h to 6h should therefore have alternatives. GNIRS is available in all modes from mid-August, targets are therefore limited to RA 18h to 13.5h.
During 2013B Gemini Director's Discretionary Time will be allocated to use GSAOI to obtain non-proprietary data on two galaxy clusters that are part of the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields program. Investigators who require deeper or different observations of these fields are welcome to submit such proposals.
Gemini Instrumentation
Michelle and T-ReCS have been retired. NICI is not offered in 2013B when it is expected to be retired.
In the North, we expect to offer the visitor instruments the DSSI Speckle camera and TEXES for limited blocks of time during the semester, in queue mode only. DSSI can be mounted in bright time in July and August 2013, limiting RAs to 15.5h to 3h. TEXES can be mounted in October 2013 bright time, limiting RAs to 20h to 7.5h. Up to 110 hours are available with each instrument; a minimum allocation of 35 hours is required for the instrument to be made available. All required calibrations should be included in the time requested by the PI. The programs for the visiting instruments will be merged into the queue in the normal fashion and can therefore be in any of the three bands.
In the South,
- FLAMINGOS-2 will be available on a shared-risk basis in imaging and long-slit modes only. It is expected to be available throughout the semester. Due to the likely unavailability of GMOS-South in October and November 2013, targets with RAs 23h to 6h are particularly encouraged. As of February 2013, the delivered image quality of FLAMINGOS-2 in the lab is only approximately IQ85 quality; please refer to the instrument's Status and Availability page for updates.
- Up to 150 hours with GSAOI + GeMS is expected to be available between September and January, limiting RAs to 19h to 11h. Observations in IQ85 are possible and are encouraged for semester 2013B, for programs that can use images with FWHM ~0.2 arcseconds as opposed to the ≤0.1 arcseconds delivered in IQ70 or IQ20. More GSAOI+GeMS guide modes are available in 2013B than in 2013A, although there are still limitations. Investigators must check the availability of Guide Star constellations using the Observing Tool before submitting a proposal.
- GMOS-South may be unavailable between mid-October and November while the CCDs are replaced; applicants with targets at RA 23h to 6h are advised to have backup targets available. Investigators should assume the performance of the current EEV detectors when planning their observations.

Salem marks Older Americans Month
Written by Patty Decker Tuesday, 07 May 2013 14:33
More than 100 people were treated to lunch and entertainment as part of Older Americans Month at Salem Home Saturday.Tina Novak, director of activities and life enhancement, said it was the first time the Hillsboro facility did a special event to recognize the contributions and achievements made by older Americans.
"We plan on making this an annual event," she said, "and continuing to build on what was started this year."
Kris Erickson, chief executive officer, said he enjoyed serving others, even if he was grilling hot dogs in the rain.
The celebration was going to be outside, he said, but the cold, damp weather prompted the staff to rethink their original idea.
"We look at doing these kinds of projects," he said...
Soft drinks have no place in our diet
Written by John Schlageck Tuesday, 02 April 2013 12:13
One alarming trend in our society today is the prevalence of junk food in our diets—and more importantly in those of our children. While the selection of junk foods continues to grow and the enormity is mind boggling, let's focus on just one: soft drinks.They have wiggled their way into nearly every venue in our society. About the only public place I haven't seen them is in the back vestibules of our nation's churches.
Soft drinks have no place is this nation's schools. Soft drinks have little, if any nutritional value. Look at the ingredients in a soft drink the next time you pick one up. Most people wouldn't have a clue what these ingredients are, myself included.
To be part of a balanced diet, a food product must have...
SENIOR LIVING/HEALTH & FITNESS FOCUS Eating disorders come in a variety of forms and causes
Written by Hillsboro Free Press Tuesday, 19 February 2013 13:56
The term "eating disorder" elicits drastically different ideas about what the term means.Some individuals think first about people who are extremely skinny and starve themselves to maintain a low weight. Others think of individuals who eat excessive amounts of food and are overweight or obese. Still others think about people who engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, to maintain a certain weight.
"We currently live in a nation where there is great alarm about the increasing rates of obesity and associated health problems," said Kristin Goodheart, psychotherapist with Prairie View. "Yet, there is also great concern about those who lose too much weight and become so thin that they risk starving...
Floaters in the eyes usually not something to worry about
Written by Fred Cicetti Tuesday, 08 January 2013 15:51
Q I've been noticing this thing in my eye. At first I thought it was an eyelash. Then I realized the thing was actually in my eye. One of my friends told me it's a floater, and not to worry. What exactly is a floater and should I see a doctor?AFloaters are usually nothing to worry about. More than 7 in 10 people experience floaters. Now for some biology.
The lens in the front of your eye focuses light on the retina in the back of your eye. The lens is like the one in a camera, and the retina is like film. The space between the lens and retina is filled with the vitreous, a clear gel that helps to maintain the shape of the eye.
Floaters occur when the vitreous slowly shrinks over time. As the vitreous changes, it becomes...

Plano police search for missing man: Father of three disappeared Tuesday afternoon (updated)
Photo courtesy of Genie Perkins: Plano Police safely located Nathan Burgett, 32, who disappeared from his east Plano home on July 17, in LaPeer, Mich on Wednesday. No criminal offenses have been reported at this time and Burgett will return to Texas on his own.
By Bill Conrad, firstname.lastname@example.com
Update: 7/19 8:15 p.m.
A family spokeswoman told The Plano Star Courier that search and rescue teams searched for Nathan Burgett Thursday morning and evening. The searches have covered much of Bob Woodruff Park, an area Burgett has been known to frequent.
Original story: 7/18 2:30 p.m.
Nathan Burgett, his wife Michelle and their three young children live in the 1400 block of Sherrye Drive in east Plano. Michelle told police that when Nathan left the house at 2 p.m. Tuesday, he did so without his vehicle, wallet or cell phone. When he didn't return home, she contacted police to report him missing.
Burgett has brown hair and is described as being a little more than 6 feet tall and about 270 pounds. He was last seen wearing a light-colored Polo-style shirt, dark jeans and brown flip flops.
A family spokeswoman said Burgett recently quit his job.
Officer David Tilley of the Plano Police Department said the case has been assigned to a detective and that Burgett will be listed as missing with the FBI's National Crime Information Center. Tilley said while it is not a crime for an adult to go missing, the department would like to find Burgett to ensure he is safe.
Anyone with information on Burgett's whereabouts is asked to call the Plano Police Department at 972-424-5678.

Improving the health of mothers, newborns and children and reducing the number of preventable deaths are top priorities for CIDA. Each year hundreds of thousands of women die during pregnancy or childbirth and 6.9 million children die before reaching the age of five. Many of these deaths can be prevented by proven, cost-effective, evidence-based interventions.
Canada is leading a global effort—the Muskoka Initiative—to mobilize global action to reduce maternal and infant mortality and improve the health of mothers and children in the world's poorest countries. Canada is providing $1.1 billion in new funding between 2010 and 2015. Canada is also providing $1.75 billion in ongoing spending on maternal and child health programming, a total contribution of $2.85 billion.
In November 2010, Minister Oda outlined how Canada's $2.85 billion contribution through CIDA to the Muskoka Initiative will be organized. CIDA's maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) funding follows three integrated paths, focuses on ten countries and involves multilateral, global and Canadian partners.
Strengthening health systems to improve service delivery to maternal, newborn, and child health at the local level by training more health workers and increasing access to adequately equipped local health centres. CIDA is working with country partners to:
Reducing the burden of diseases that are killing mothers and children. CIDA is supporting the provision of medicines, vaccines, and actions needed to prevent and treat the prevalent diseases and illnesses that are the main causes of maternal and child mortality.
Improving nutrition by increasing access to healthful and nutritious food and essential micronutrient supplements that improve and save lives. CIDA supports initiatives that improve nutritional health by:
CIDA's geographic investments focus on countries with high child and maternal morbidity and mortality rates that have demonstrated they can make progress on maternal, newborn, and child health. In these countries, CIDA works to increase access to health centres at the local level and ensure its sustainability over the long term. CIDA focuses its efforts on the following 10 countries:
With multilateral and global partners, such as UN agencies, Canada works in countries where the need is greatest across the three paths of the initiative. Canada continues to support:
Canadian partners engage the expertise of health practitioners and extensive networks of local civil society organizations to address local and national health priorities. Through community-based efforts to reduce maternal and child morbidity and mortality, they can extend the reach of national health services to rural and underserved areas. In many high burden countries, civil society organizations provide the main platform by which to reach vulnerable groups and are able to respond in a timely and effective way to needs identified by communities.
Launched on November 2, 2010, the Muskoka Initiative Partnership Program is providing $75 million over five years to partner-driven projects that deliver concrete development results in countries with high rates of maternal and child morbidity and mortality.
For more information on specific MNCH projects supported by CIDA in various countries and regions around the world, please visit the Project Browser.

The USHL Sioux City coach is moving on to work for Ohio State.
Sioux City forward Jake Guentzel, younger brother of former Tiger Gabe and a Nebraska-Omaha signee, was named the 2012-13 USHL Rookie of the Year after finishing sixth in league scoring and tying a USHL Tier 1 era (2002-present) record with a 21-game point streak.
Amarillo beat Wenatchee 5-0 in the NAHL Robertson Cup championship game less than a day after losing 7-0 in pool play to the same Wild. You may recall some accusations were flying that the Bulls threw that earlier game. The Wild have since announced they are moving to Hidalgo, Texas to become the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees.

Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter
Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter
Product Information
The Apple Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4. Connect the adapter to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the DVI end of the adapter to an external DVI monitor or projector. You can also use it in combination with the optional Apple DVI to ADC Adapter (available separately) to connect your computer to an older display with an ADC connector.
You can use this cable in both video mirroring and extended desktop modes.
Tech Specs
- 1/4 Inch Stereo
Ratings & Reviews
The "1 star" people are buying the wrong product...
For all the complaints you read below, remember these people are buying the wrong product and then getting mad that it doesn't wor k. While it is confusing, the world of VGA and DVI is complicated.
This product is designed for one thing and one thing only: connect to the current 12" PB and core duo iMacs and provide a standard DIGITAL DVI connector to plug a cable into. It is not designed for the older powerbooks or ibooks with mini-vga output, or any other computer that doesn't have the mini-DVI. It will not work with older macs. It will not work in series with VGA adapters because this adaptor does not pass ANALOG signals from the mini-DVI port. That's why they sell the VGA adaptor instead for VGA monitors.
This adaptor may not work with cables that are analog+digital DVI without an adaptor. This is not apple's fault. This is the way the spec is written. The various flat pins are there to control which connectors fit together, to prevent accidental damage to your equipment.
If you have a DVI-D equipped monitor and want to hook it to the iMac or current PB 12", this adaptor is for you. If you want to hook up some other sort of monitor (analog, DVI-I, ADC), this is not for you, or you may need an additional adaptor.
Plain and simple.
As for rating: it would get a five if it was another 6 inches longer. But otherwise, it does what it does and doesn't cost too much. …- Written by Michael K from Sherman Oaks

Connecting Macbook to HDTV
After reading the helpful reviews, i did alot of research before buying any cables to hook up my macbook to an HP HDTV. Hopefully the following will help others with connection issues:
Investigate the PC input jack of your HDTV for 3 specifications:
1) TYPE OF DVI INPUT JACK. Most newer models have DVI-I or DVI-D input jacks. there is a difference between the two. you can tell which one you have by referring to your manual. if you don't have the manual, look at the jack itself and compare to pictures (link isn't allowed here, but datapro had clear pictures)
2) DUAL or SINGLE LINK. newer model HDTVs likely have the dual link inputs. refer to your manual or look at the jack and compare to pictures.
3) MALE OR FEMALE. ihad assumed that because the apple mini-DVI to DVI cable had a FEMALE DVI connector end, then my TV must have a MALE input jack. not true. my TV has a FEMALE DVI jack. So by default, I needed an adaptor cable for the mini-DVI to DVI cable.
after this, i determined that i had a DUALLINK DVI-I FEMALE input jack. NOTE that the mini-DVI to DVI cable, not pictured online at apple.com, has a FEMALE DUAL LINK DVI-D connector end.
so I bought the apple mini-DVI to DVI cable & a DVI-D to DVI-D male/male connector cable, connected the cables to their respective hardware input jacks, and it all worked.
FYI, i got the DVI-D to DVI-D male/male connector cable instead of a DVI-D to DVI-I male/male connector cable, because i couldn't find the latter. Luckily, because my TV had a FEMALE input jack, it could take a DVI-D male (just the way the input jacks are designed).
Hope this helps. …- Written by Diana Y from Brooklyn

Why, O Why Not Mini-DVI to DVI-I???
It all boils down to the title. I post this as a warning and a complaint. The warning is that DVI doesn't simply come in one fla vor, and that "DVI" in this adapter is a female DVI-D Dual-Link plug. The complaint that it is incompatible with all the DVI-I cables out there in the world, particularly those in the research lab I work in.
I know that these DVI-I cables *could* be replaced with DVI-D cables and everything would be just fine, but that's really not a general solution. Must I purchase some sort of male DVI-D Dual-Link to female DVI-I Dual-Link adapter, too? Surely it'd "just work" for the most people if Apple offered just one adapter--a Mini-DVI to DVI-I adapter... …- Written by Shawn B from Lafayette

I hate this thing
The connections are too loose and the DVI adaptor cable is too rigid and too short so I'm constantly fiddling with the connections to keep the signal going to the monitor. A sneeze or a pin drop or sometimes nothing at all is enough to break the video connection and it can be very difficult to get back.
Whoever at apple invented this thing and the lame 30 pin connector should be demoted or fired. It is not a reliable connection at all. …- Written by edwin G from Saint Paul

3 stars is about right..
Cutting out support for DVI-I (with 9+9 pins + 4 extra pins above/below the blade at the left) was really a bad choice here. I ha ve a monitor that tails out DVI-I (and the cable is hardwired to the monitor itself..) and there was no need to cut support for it by not providing 4 holes for the cable to actually fit into this adapter.
My only choice is to use my (one and only) DVI-I to DVI-D adapter (which I just happened to have!) and I lucked out on this one, but again cutting out support for DVI-I was just unnecessary. …- Written by William S from Pickering

Audio & Video by the Mac people whatever
SImple as. I went through some of the pains as many others review here. Having macs for years but never using a display. Having my most recent Intel core duo 2007 mac book and wanting to hook it up to most anything, I finally I bought the apple mini dvi to RGA, the mini dvi to svideo & composite(RCA), and this mini dvi to dvid. Also found I was dealing with an apple female connector and that for most applications had to buy a male dvid to hdmi. Awesome now i can pretty much hook it up to anything. What i found out later was that it didn't matter whether I had the DVI option or not...No sound goes out the video port on macs...Lame. No matter which you use you will always be hooking up both a video adapter and an 1/8 to 1/8 male stereo plug to som headphone jack on whatever you want the sound to come out of. SO having option to hook it up to hdmi does nothing but supposedly give you a better quality video signal. One which I can't tell on anything I have played it on. Used apple for years but unless you are willing to spend 8 grand on apple tv and apple movies you can't use front row easily with regular tv products or simply plug it into yout AUDIO VIDEO system and enjoy..you must use 2 cables. …

Oneonta Apartment Complex Is One Step Closer To Construction
By: Rachel Polansky
Updated: January 25, 2013
Newman Development Group has proposed the building of a 4-story, 300-bed apartment complex that will be used mainly to house college students, although the college has no ties to the project.
But some community members, primarily those who own student housing facilities in the city are concerned this will hurt their business. Newman presented the plans to the Oneonta Planning Commission last week, and they say it shouldn't hurt area businesses.
"It should be a very minimal effect because of the continuing increase in enrollment, that the students that they take are the new students that come into the state college, and it's very close to the campus so they think it's going to be a very positive thing," says Dennis Finn, Oneonta Planning Commission chairman.
Finn says they are still in the early stages of the project. But the tentative goal is to open the facility for the 2014 academic year.

A Sellersburg man is behind bars after police said he tried to carjack his own mother to get to his ex-girlfriend.
The headline might catch many by surprise, but, according to Clark County's prosecutor, crimes against parents are far from uncommon.
At about 6 p.m. Friday, Charlestown police said 23-year-old Marcus Buba forced his mother to drive him around different parts of Clark County.
"He was in her car and making threats to her, telling her she had to get out of the car, that he had a knife, he was going to do bodily harm to her," said prosecutor Jeremy Mull.
According to Charlestown police, Buba was going from one location to another, trying to locate his ex-girlfriend.
Meantime, Buba's sister called 911 to alert officers to what was going on.
Police said Buba and his mother drove from Sellersburg to Charlestown on County Road 403, where police said they found the two, parked at a Circle K.
Buba was arrested without incident, even though police said just last week Buba said he intended to force the department's hand, saying he would come at officers with a knife to get them to kill him.
"Unfortunately, as a prosecutor, this isn't extremely rare. I do get cases where individuals make threats against their own parents, their own mother. I've had a few of those come across my desk in the last few months," said Mull.
Buba is being held at the Clark County Jail.

Bag (Kickboxing)
Once you have been coached on how to combine stance, body rotation, and proper timing you will be astonished at how much target-crushing power you can deliver through your hands and feet.
There are two ingredients to acquiring a powerful punch (or kick):
- Technique, and
- Training
We will teach you the technique part. But knowing . . . understanding how is not enough. You have to program your body instantly and automatically fire off an effective strike when you are under the stress of facing an attacker. In other words, you have to train. And train. And train some more.
You have to train as if your life depends on it.
We make the training part exhilarating. Bag classes are one of our most popular offerings. When you show up for bag class, you'll experience is a high-energy hour of punch power. Hundreds of glove popping against leather bags. Thousands of calories being burned. Frustration lifting and dissipating like early-morning fog.
Before long you will have thrown thousands of punches. You will have thrown thousands of kicks. Each blow capable of turning an attacker into a patient at the emergency room. Each blow capable of turning you into a survivor.
Unless you have worked at a punching bag manufacturing plant, it's likely you will have never seen as many heavy hanging punching bags together in one place as you'll find in our bag room.
Battling Ropes
Battling Ropes* (sometimes referred to as battle ropes or power rope) is an exercise system that builds remarkable strength and stamina. Battling Ropes is highly effective for athletes who need to increase strength and speed that needs to be sustained for a long duration of time.
It uses the principle of sustained velocity (the combination of strength and speed) to keep muscles under continuous load during both the adduction and abduction phases of exercise.
The idea for Battling Ropes was inspired by the constant energy carried in ocean waves. Hydraulic force is continuously transferred as ocean waves oscillate. Similarly, Battling Ropes require you to constantly exert muscle power to create and counteract waves of continuous force.
Battling Ropes are appropriate for people at all levels of physical fitness. You choose the intensity level of your workout.
Although it should be no surprise that Battling Ropes will strengthen your shoulders, arms, chest, and back . . . you may be surprised at how much it strengthens your core. Battling Ropes require you to maintain core stabilization throughout the exercise.
Battling Ropes used to be the "secret weapon" of the Olympic Training Center and of professional sports teams, but now the secret is out. Their popularity has been exploding since they started being seen on the TV program "The Biggest Loser".
You have complete control of how moderate or intense your workout will be. You choose your own goals. But be warned–our instructors know how to motivate you to give maximum effort. Vee have vays ov making you verk!
Calorie burn and endurance. That's what our indoor cycling program is about.
Our spin classes are engineered to increase your overall fitness level. You'll be led through different levels of intensity, varying both resistance and cadence. Your heart rate is the "gauge" that tells you when you're getting it done.
Our spin auditorium is equipped with stationary cycles designed specifically for full-out training. Multiple adjustment points allow you to customize their fit to match your body, ensuring that you can give it everything you've got when you're pouring it on.
Pilates & Yoga
Pilates takes exercise to a whole new level. Instead of being focused just on getting strong and lean, Pilates aims to improve your body's entire physiology.
Consider the everyday pushup. When you do pushups the Pilates way, you get a stretch, a back extension, a spinal articulation, as well as shoulder and arm toning in an exercise that also requires strength and coordination from just about every part of your body – butt, back, inner thighs, abs, you name it.
Almost every class we teach incorporates some form of floor exercise. We understand that how you do it matters as much as what you do, and that's why we incorporate the Pilates method in our exercise programs.
Yoga isn't just for meditating monks. It's become the secret weapon of professional athletes. . . . people whose careers depend on balance, flexibility, and the power to control their bodies.
If you listen to most yoga practitioners you'll hear them say that yoga leads to inner peace and a sense of overall well-being.
Which is true enough. But the next time you encounter a yoga instructor, take a moment to quit listening and start looking.
You'll see someone with a powerful, lean physique. A radiant glow. Great posture, and graceful, solid movement.

The Gloucestershire Old Spot (GOS) is a critically endangered breed: fewer than 200 annual registrations in the United States and estimated global population less than 2,000. Along with the Red Wattle, they are the rarest pig breed Heritage Foods sells. We must eat these pigs and create a market for them in order to save them. The breed was developed in the Berkeley Vale of Gloucestershire, England, during the 1800s where they often grazed in the fruit orchards and ate up the fallen fruit. GOS became rare after World War II, when the shift to intensive pig production reduced interest in outdoor pigs. The breed almost became extinct in the 1960s. Help us save the Gloucestershire Old Spot! The GOS has the milkiest fat of any pig breed we have ever tasted. Each pig has a distinct layer of backfat and marbling within the meat making it the bacon pig of choice for many. The GOS is also a favorite of farmers who appreciate the breed's intellect and docility. Both Good Farms and Lazy S. Farms supply GOS pigs to Heritage Foods. This ham is cured by our curemaster friends and partners at Paradise Locker Meats. This is a traditional smoked ham made from Gloucestershire Old Spot stock pork for a super moist and buttery texture. This sweet and savory ham is glazed with maple sugar and makes a great centerpiece meal any time. It's fully cooked, so if you want it hot, just give it 30 minutes or so in a medium oven. Otherwise, just slice and serve. This ham has won many awards and is served at many great restaurants. It is almost impossible to not love this ham.
All our pork is from pasture raised, hormone and antibiotic free animals. They are raised with care using traditional methods guaranteed to produce the very best tasting meat and are processed at a Certified Humane facility.

Hey guys.
So my computer is still going...kinda. The Vista UI is bugged as fuck and explorer crashes pretty regularly. Also it's just recently started to freeze in games for no reason and I have to totally restart it. So I'm thinking maybe of getting a new cheapish gaming PC.
I don't need anything overly "1337" as I will barely notice the difference and don't need it. I will be using it for internet/listening to music/playing some high end graphics games like Witcher 2 and Skyrim and also next year I'm doing some recording stuff at Uni so I'll probably be messing around with music work on there. I won't be doing any video editing or extensive photoshopping stuff.
There is this one that I'm looking at now, I think these two are just the same but with difference cores or somethin', so advice on which brand AMD or Intel is better for my situation would be good. Also I would be adding one of the 1GB graphics cards, so once again advice on Nvidia or or ATI would be good. Here are the two:
For the record my computer specs at the moment are:
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor 2.6ghz
4gb ram
Nvidia GTS 250 graphics card 512mb ram.
I've only had a tiny bit of struggle in games with this and only on the highest settings in games like Witcher 2.
I can only really afford $500-700 and I'm not too interested in an amazing gaming system, just something that'll fucking work properly again and run games to a good standard.
