Ahh, young love. To celebrate boyfriend Jaden Smith's 15th birthday on Monday, July 8, Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kylie Jenner shared a sweet snapshot via her official Instagram account. In the lengthy caption, she gushed about her beau of five months.
PHOTOS: Kylie Jenner vacations with her family in Bora Bora
"Although we can't remember exactly when we met, I couldn't be more grateful that we did," Kylie, 15, wrote. "You understand me like not many do and you always know the right time to make me laugh. And no, you haven't failed once to catch me when I attempt to walk or open the door on my every entrance. Happy birthday to my best friend." (Coincidentally, Jaden shares a birthday with Kylie's niece, Penelope Scotland Disick.)
PHOTOS: The Kardashian-Jenner family album
Kylie's mom, Kris Jenner, also posted a picture of herself posing with the After Earth actor. "I love you Jaden!" the 57-year-old talk show host wrote in the Instagram caption. "Have the best day ever."
PHOTOS: The Kardashian sisters' style
In the May issue of Wonderland, Jaden opened up about his bond with Kylie. "She's one of my best friends," said the star, whose parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. "It's pretty awesome."

Ed Tech Trends | Research
Are digital tools like cell phones and social networking sites undermining students' writing skills or helping to improve them?
A new survey of teachers from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that most teachers involved in the survey consider technology beneficial to writing in several ways, including creativity and personal expression (78 percent), collaboration (79 percent), and the ability to share their work with a wider audience (96 percent).
However, the news wasn't all positive. Among those surveyed, 68 percent said technology makes make students more likely "to take shortcuts and not put effort into their writing."
"These results challenge in many ways the notion that students' writing skills are being undermined by their increasing engagement with digital tools and platforms," notes Kristen Purcell, associate director for research at Pew Internet, in a statement released to coincide with the report. "Teachers do have concerns that digital tools are blurring the lines between formal and informal writing and see writing skills that need improvement, but they also see the benefit of students having more people respond to their writing and the increased opportunities for expression these digital tools offer."
The report, "The Impact of Digital Tools on Student Writing and How Writing is Taught in Schools," was not a representative sample of teachers in general in the United States. Instead it focused on two teacher groups: those who teach Advanced Placement courses and those who have participated in the National Writing Project's Summer Institute. The survey involved 2,462 AP and NWP teachers in high school and middle school. Language arts teachers made up 36 percent of the sample, the rest math, history, science, foreign language, art, and music teachers.
Interestingly, half of all teachers surveyed indicated that technology helps make writing easier for the teacher. But among those who specifically teach English and language arts, that figure jumped to 68 percent.
"Teachers, writing teachers especially, do not view good writing and the use of digital tools as being at war with each other," said Judy Buchanan, deputy director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. "When educators have opportunities to integrate new technologies into teaching and learning, they are the most optimistic about the impact of digital tools on student writing and their value in teaching the art of writing. They gave countless examples of the creative ways they use emerging digital tools to impart writing skills to today's students."
Other findings from the report included:
A full 94 percent of teachers surveyed continue to require some writing assignments to be completed by hand.
According to the report: "Their reasons are varied, but many teachers noted that because students are required to write by hand on standardized tests, it is a critical skill for them to have. This is particularly true for AP teachers, who must prepare students to take AP exams with pencil and paper. Other teachers say they feel students do more active thinking, synthesizing, and editing when writing by hand, and writing by hand discourages any temptation to copy and paste others' work."
Additional details, including a copy of the complete report, methodology, and focus group results, are available on the Pew Internet & American Life Project's site.

Crowd Swells in Madison as Crackdown Continues
Around 300 people showed up for the Solidarity Sing Along this noon at the capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. The crowd was several times larger than the one yesterday, as protesters gathered to defy the police crackdown.
Just as they did yesterday, police officers insisted on making about two dozen arrests for gathering in the capitol without a permit.
Moving in with teams of six or seven officers, the capitol police arrested three or four people at a time whom they had singled out.
Robert Koenig was arrested while his ten-year-old daughter was trying to hold his hand. With her other hand, she held a sign that said, "This Is What Democracy Looks Like!"
"Rights are just like muscles," Koenig says. "If you don't use them, they atrophy."
"Shame, shame, shame!" the crowd yelled each time as police handcuffed the peaceful protesters.
"I feel sorry for you that you have to do this," one demonstrator told the officers.
Like yesterday, today there were several Democratic lawmakers in attendance, showing their support for the Solidarity Singers, who have been gathering every day in the capitol for two and a half years to protest Scott Walker's reactionary policies.
Sen. Bob Jauch was present again.
And Sen. Tim Cullen was also there, denouncing the crackdown.
"I think it's outrageous," he said. "This is a beautiful thing. It doesn't disrupt the capitol. I love the songs." Cullen said the Walker administration was displaying "the same mentality" of bullying that it is displaying up north with its aggressive support for mining in the Penokee Hills.
Cullen predicted that Walker and his cohorts wouldn't be able to get away with the suppression of free speech in the capitol.
"They won't prevail," Cullen said. "This is America."
Members of the state assembly, including Diane Hesselbein, Sondra Pope-Roberts, Melissa Sargent, and Chris Taylor, also showed their solidarity.
"It's hard to describe how absurd this is," said Pope-Roberts. "It's almost like a page out of the Onion."
"I'm here because I firmly believe in the right to petition the government," said Sargent, who was there with her son Devin. "Everyone is being peaceful, and people's voices need to be heard."
Many protesters carried inventive signs. Peppi Elder had one of Scott Walker pointing and saying, "Hey, You…Singer with a Sign! You're Under Arrest."
Elder tries to come to the Sing Along three times a week, she says, because "Scott Walker is ruining the state of Wisconsin."

The ages of the children were not released but Vaughn says all are pre-teens.
The suspect turned himself in around 5 a.m. at the county's Justice Services office in Clayton.

Eventually a behind the scenes/interview video will accompany this, but I got impatient so here is my Hansel and Gretel image that I've been hiding for a few weeks. It took a lot of set up but it was all very fun setup - I walked along the on-ramp to a freeway and picked vines, only to find out that a homeless man was sleeping in him. So I gave him a dollar and took some vines.
Then I bought a 70lb bag of sand, which looks tiny but is in fact incredibly heavy, which I poured on the floor here. I also bought two small bags of black sand, one to pour on top of the big pile (which was just for bulk) to make it look like ash, and the other for my model, Garrett, to throw at the pile. The fridge was already in this warehouse, thank goodness! I really wanted that to give the feeling of an old kitchen.
Model: Garrett Liggett (and me, hehe)

But that's exactly what's happened, and the August 1 deadline for implementing procedures to comply with the regulations, known as the Identity Theft Red Flags Rule (16 CFR 681.2), is fast approaching.

I've read a couple of places where it says to immerse the cut ends in boiling water for 30 seconds. It's my first time growing it and I really like it - any info/experience on this is much appreciated. |

Okay, well I did a test of one stem just cut into plain water and 4 days later it still is very nice so I guess no boiling water needed. |

Thank you, Pudge, for sharing your experience with Cerinthe. I plan to grow this next year. Teresa |

You're welcome, Teresa. I'm very pleased with this plant as a filler and suspect it will find its way into many of my bouquets. A bouquet containing Cerinthe, soft pink Peonies, Lady's Mantle & Baby's Breath and set in preservative water is still looking very fresh today (Tuesday). |

Hi Pudge - Quick question -- at what stage did you cut this? I think my cerinthe are ready...I've never grown them and planted them in May outside...they have the blue flowers, still droopy though, do they "stand up" and then they're ready? Or, are they just filler? Thanks, Wendy |

I've been cutting for a month so I'm sure yours must be ready. No, it doesn't stand up although it does get somewhat perkier once cooled and set in preservative water. I used it only as filler, but a lot of customers noticed it right off and asked what it was. Some really liked the little purple bell flowers. A nice plant and I'll grow it again but only about half the amount I planted this year - I didn't know it would get as big as it did. |

Fringe (season 2) List of Fringe episodes |
"Johari Window" is the 12th episode of the second season of the American science fiction drama television series Fringe. The episode was written by co-executive producer Josh Singer, and directed by filmmaker Joe Chappelle. The episode is set in a fictional upstate New York town, and begins with the discovery of a seemingly deformed child by a state trooper. The Fringe investigative team of Olivia Dunham, Walter Bishop, and Peter Bishop arrive on the scene, only to discover a secret government experiment gone awry, with signs from Walter's past.
Originally called "Edina City Limits," the title was changed shortly before the episode aired. It first aired in the United States on January 14, 2010 on Fox to 6.529 million viewers and a 2.6 share 18–49. The episode received average reviews, as many critics compared it either negatively or positively to a B-movie, though most agreed that it seemed to be rehashed from older The X-Files episodes. Several of the main actors however thoroughly enjoyed the episode, with Noble believing it to be one of his favorite Fringe episodes. Critics also noted the popular culture references to The Wizard of Oz, Deliverance, and Joseph Merrick.
In upstate New York, a child is picked up on the road by a state trooper. While en route, the child suddenly morphs into a deformed creature. At the station, the troopers try to decide what to do with him, and one takes his picture. Two other deformed people enter the station, kill the troopers and take the boy.
The Fringe team comes on the scene to investigate, and find the boy's photograph along with recorded sightings of deformed people going back thirty years. They arrive in Edina, the city these sightings occurred near, and Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) hears a buzz called the "Edina hum". The sheriff explains it is coming from a nearby military base, and offers to show them case files of past sightings. While driving, the SUV containing Olivia, Peter (Joshua Jackson), and Walter (John Noble) is run off the road by another vehicle, whose driver then starts shooting at them before getting shot and leaving. The FBI find the abandoned vehicle, and follow a blood trail to the shooter. Peter is visibly disturbed after killing his first person, and Olivia tries to comfort him.
Agent Broyles discovers that the army did classified experiments in Edina called "Project Elephant," but that most of the records are gone. The team bring the body, along with a butterfly Walter found in the town and thought Astrid would like, back to the lab in Boston. They discover that both have transformed into deformed versions of themselves. Peter and Olivia go back to Edina to talk with the sheriff and try to locate the owner of the truck. Meanwhile back in the lab, Walter tries to remember why the case feels so familiar. Throughout the episode Walter had been humming some strange melody, and he and Astrid realize he might previously have worked on the project with the army. The melody was a memory trick Walter used to remind him where he stored the experiment files so many years ago. The experiment was done by the army in the late 1970s to test how electromagnetic pulses can camouflage soldiers, and was conducted on the townspeople; the army was unaware of the long term effects of the study until it was too late, and the people were stuck in a deformed state. The pulse hides their deformities from the human eye through a massive electromagnetic pulse that runs through the town, and once they leave and are out of the pulse's reach, their true deformities show.
Walter and Astrid find the source of the electromagnetic pulse, and begin investigating the house the pulse was built on. At the same time, Peter and Olivia go to a rural meeting place where the sheriff said they would find the truck's owner, only to be shot at by some townspeople when they get there. Walter manages to turn off the pulse, and all of the townsfolk go back to their deformed appearance. The daughter of one of the army scientists saves Olivia and Peter from getting shot, and explains that her father stayed in Edina to perfect the pulse. After Walter pleads to Broyles to let the townspeople keep their secret, the Fringe team decides to not report the case so that the remaining residents can live a normal life.
"[Johari Window] involve[s] the Fringe team members being personally affected by what's happening. I always love those episodes when it's not just the team going and trying to save all these people, they're trying to save each other or themselves".
The episode was the second written by co-executive producer and writer Josh Singer, and was the third directed by co-executive producer Joe Chappelle. It was originally titled "Edina City Limits" in press and promotional items, until Fox changed it to "Johari Window" without explanation on January 5, a week before it broadcast.[2][3] A johari window is a cognitive psychological tool that is used to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships, and may have been chosen as the episode's title because it corresponded to the transformative nature of the plot.[3]
The sound mixing department's inspiration for the "Edina hum" (the frequency hiding the deformities of the townsfolk) came from executive producer Jeff Pinkner.[4] Supervising sound editor Paul Curtis later recalled Pinkner asking for it to sound like "100-year locusts back east," consequently what the crew "basically...ended up with were bugs". They also layered in a variety of machine sounds. Sound effects editor Bruce Tanis remarked that because the background sound lasted the entire episode, it had to be handled "thoughtfully".[4]
"What's weird about the Edina hum is that you hear it all over the town. It goes to the borders of this little town: indoors, outdoors, down the street, in the basement; you hear some level of it, but you don't want to hear that for 44 minutes of a show. It'll drive you nuts. So you have to blend it in, pick moments, bring it up, take it down, so that people can reference it, but you're not listening to 44 minutes of hum".
—Bruce Tanis[4]
Actor Joshua Jackson later remarked that "Johari Window" was a "stand-alone" episode in an interview: "There is nothing from that thing that broadens the story, except at the heart of it, is a story about love and acceptance and family... Which of course, for these two guys, is the entire theme of the show for them. So I think we've done that really well". Actor John Noble added, "Tolerance. Acceptance. I loved 'Johari Window'. I thought it was one of my favourite stories".[5]
Cultural references[edit]
When Walter refuses to get out of the car into a supermarket, he mentions he is "learning to appreciate cowardice" and that "the lion had a point," a reference, he explains to Peter, about the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz.[6] Walter also mentions flying monkeys and talking lions later in the episode, both also a homage to the movie. Later, Walter excitedly says he remembers someone who played the banjo and looked like the kidnapped, deformed boy, and starts humming a tune. Peter completes the tune, and explains it is from the movie Deliverance, which depicts murderous, inbred, and deformed people living in rural Georgia.[7] The army experiment was entitled "Project Elephant," a possible reference to Joseph Merrick, a deformed person known as the "Elephant Man".[8]
"Johari Window" was watched by more than 6.529 million viewers, achieving a 2.6 share of viewers aged 18–49. It rose thirteen percent from the previous week's episode, and was the highest rated night of Fringe since the season premiere.[9]
Ramsey Isler of IGN thought there was not much original or well-done about the episode, and negatively compared it to previous episodes of The X-Files. He wrote the "slow...story [lacked] the intrigue and excitement that other episodes in the series had," but praised its conclusion as a "pay off".[2] John McCracken of TV Guide also compared it to The X-Files, and thought the episode was "tedious" and "largely felt like a by-the-numbers B-movie affair".[10] Jane Boursaw of TV Squad enjoyed the "B-movie" aspects of the plot however, calling them "fun".[6] She thought the episode felt like "a thriller movie," and praised Noble's acting as "brilliantly". Noel Murray of The A.V. Club gave the episode a C, explaining that "despite some good makeup effects and a few emotional moments, "Johari Window" [was] distressingly average".[7] Andrew Hanson of the LA Times enjoyed how the "Edina hum" remained in the background of every town scene, but missed the "investigation exposition"-supplying presence of Charlie Francis (Kirk Acevedo).[11] Television Without Pity graded the episode a B-.[12]
