This book is about how language is used in the context of schooling. It demonstrates that the variety of English expected at school differs from the interactional language that students use for social purposes outside of school, and provides a linguistic analysis of the challenges of the school curriculum, particularly for non-native speakers of English, speakers of non-standard dialects, and students who have little exposure to academic language outside of schools. The Language of Schooling: A Functional Linguistics Perspective builds on current sociolinguistic and discourse-analytic studies of language in school, but adds a new dimension--the framework of functional linguistic analysis. This framework focuses not just on the structure of words and sentences, but on how texts are constructed--how particular grammatical choices create meanings in the different kinds of texts students are asked to read and write at school.
The Language of Schooling: A Functional Linguistics Perspective
*provides a functional description of the kinds of texts students are expected to read and write at school;
*relates research from other sociolinguistic and language development perspectives to research from the systemic functional linguistics perspective;
*focuses on the increasing linguistic demands of contexts of advanced literacy (middle school through college);
*analyzes the genres typically encountered at school, with extensive description of the grammatical features of the expository essay, a gatekeeping genre for secondary school graduates;
*reviews the grammatical features of disciplinary genres in science and history; and
*argues for more explicit attention to language in teaching all subjects, with a particular focus on what is needed for the development of critical literacy.
This book will enable researchers and students of language in education to recognize how the grammatical and discourse features of the language of schooling construct the content areas, role relationships, and purposes and expectations of schools. It also will enable them to better understand the nature of language itself and how it emerges from and helps to maintain social structures and institutions, and to apply these understandings to creating classroom environments that build on the strengths students bring to school. less

The powerful electronic tour-de-banger that is HARD came across the entire U.S. from their L.A. base to the New York City area with a show that was supposed to be unbelievable. Taking place on Governor's Island, the mini-festival would have acts that — on paper — would bring a crowd to applause and enjoyment. From the fantastic Sleigh Bells, to dubstep OGs Skream & Benga, all the way down to M.I.A. (whose latest shows have been heralded as shambolic), it was a pretty packed bill. But what HARD didn't realize what kind of restless and despicable fodder would surround the event, which would be diminished and demonstratively angst-filled concert-goers, irreparable staff relations and of course, bad bookings.
It started shortly after 3PM, where about 100 people were standing at the intersection of Wall & South Streets to get their ferry to Governor's Island; the ferries were advertised to comes every 30 minutes, instead we got a 90 minute wait for a ferry that took us to the wrong pier at Governor's Island. Once on the island, misdirection came about as it took over a half hour to figure out the exact route of the concert site, as well as denying the proper and easiest walking route to get there. Finally, after getting scolded by on-site contacts in a veracious manner over a problem they caused, we were inside the HARD grounds. What awaited us there was a mix of blandness, belligerence and brand name bass bombing.
Ninjasonik was on the "Harder" side-stage after a solid set from Cali-based mutant-funky act NGUZUNGUZU, and they tried as best as they could to keep the crowd into it and on-point for what was next. Instead, it was a bored crowd of 15-17 year olds, screaming for dubstep and electro. Noticing a livelier crowd, our eyes set to the main stage, where HARD resident Destructo was playing bangers and mash. It was half-decent at best and the crowd was into it, but it had no chance on helping out with the next act. Baltimore club queen Rye Rye took the stage and …performed; trying to keep the energy of anger-filled, abrasive and astoundingly negative kids at a somewhat decent level before the next act, which would be UK legends Skream and Benga. Finishing her set, the dubstep duo came on-stage and played what the event embodied: HARD tunes. The problem was even though this was the peak of the night's energy (aside from closer M.I.A.), it was a dark and disturbing energy. The crowd formed moshpits, similar to a shoddy hardcore show, but definitely more cringe inducing. Seeing kids elbow each other, punch each other in the ribs and break a 15-year old girl's nose (with no apology), it was becoming noticeable that the night was going to continue to go in a shit direction. Shifting away from the main stage, the sidestage had Tel-Aviv filthstepper Borgore playing, and not impressing anyone with his bland, boring tune selection.
Seeing and hearing what was around us had made us reach a limit that pushed us out of the site. We were glad, as we saw a beer vendor throw an empty bottle at a kid and screaming expletives that are definitely not friendly to write here. Taking the long walk and ferry back, the line for the oncoming ferry to Governor's Island was close to a thousand people. It was worth leaving and avoiding the carnage that would've ensued. If you want a report on M.I.A's performance, read any blog. If you want to avoid an event that has a history of bad crowds, embarrassing oversights and horrendous planning, avoid HARD at Governor's Island next time (if there is a next time).

Further, I will discuss how to conduct moderation on several other statistical platforms (i.e., structural equation modeling, multi-level modeling, and bootstrapping). Part of the APA Online Academy Professional Development Presentation Campus.Continuing Education Program (October 2010)2.Handbook of Rehabilitation Psychology, Second EditionReflecting the ever-expanding scope of rehabilitation psychology, this handbook covers diverse topics such as the clinical conditions most common to rehabilitation psychology (spinal cord injury, limb amputation, traumatic brain injury, stroke and more), assessment and clinical interventions, neuroimaging, alcohol and substance abuse, vocational rehabilitation, assistive technology for cognitive impairments, ethics, spirituality, and the problems of family caregivers. Continuing Education Program 3.Pediatric Psychopharmacology: New Developments, Evidence, Controversies, and Role OpportunitiesPresented primarily by members of the Division 16 Task Force on Pediatric Psychopharmacology, this workshop is intended to familiarize attendees with new developments. No prior training in psychopharmacology is necessary. Part of the APA Online Academy Convention Workshop Presentations Campus.Continuing Education Program 4.Substance Abuse and EmotionThere is a recurring debate over the causes of substance abuse that typically divides along two common assumptions: People either abuse drugs and alcohol out of sheer pleasure-seeking drives run amok or to escape or assuage aversive states of comorbid anxiety or depression. Substance Abuse and Emotion goes beyond this dichotomy in its exploration of recent, significant field observations, theory construction and rigorous testing, and laboratory research to advance working models for a new research paradigm on substance abuse and comorbidity. Continuing Education Program (July 2010)5.Lesbian and Gay Parents and Their Children: Research on the Family Life CycleAging and Cognition explores methods for measuring cognitive change and the social and psycological factors associated with cognitive aging.This book provides a comprehensive overview of the research on same-sex parenthood, exploring ways in which lesbian and gay parents resist, accommodate, and transform fundamental notions of gender, parenting, and family.Continuing Education Program 6.Inhalant AbuseThe use of inhalants is a rapidly escalating feature within the landscape of substance abuse, with patterns of use starting early. This program discusses the range of inhalants that are most commonly used, the mechanisms of action associated with different inhalants, the effects of their usage, and the patterns and predictors associated with that use.

Each chapter showcases a specific theory's therapeutic goals, its assumptions about the therapist–client relationship, client tasks, and the related change processes. Chapters end with thought-provoking journal exercises, learning tasks, and case examples, as well as a discussion of how each approach has evolved and is practiced today.Continuing Education Program (July 2010)9.Clinical Applications of the Advanced Clinical Solutions for WAIS-IV/WMS-IVThe workshop is presented in the context of common clinical conditions that are evaluated by clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and researchers including Alzheimer's disease, Traumatic Brain injury in a medico-legal context, Asperger's Syndrome, and Schizophrenia.

Using the turn signal switch of your Ford Taurus, you can provide other vehicle operators a good clue if ever you're about to change lanes or corner. The Ford Taurus turn signal switch is pretty much accessible to the vehicle operator because it's situated close to the steering wheel. By turning on the proper flashers, bumping into another vehicle and other road emergencies will be averted.
You should not risk putting up with a busted Ford Taurus turn signal switch when you don't like to end up in a road mishap or risk the safety of several other drivers-also imagine the deterioration your automobile would incur from whichever incident of bump and its hassle to the involved. In case the bulbs of the blinkers are still in good condition and the trouble may be due to the turn signal switch of your Ford Taurus, search for a trusty OE replacement. Be sure that the brand-new turn signal switch is sturdy and appropriate for your Ford Taurus to guarantee trouble-free setup.
Never bother searching for a custom-fit Ford Taurus turn signal switch from other shops should you wish to pay less for high-quality parts. Check out our inventory and choose from topnotch aftermarket options care of Crown, Mopar Performance, FPD, along with other trusted manufacturers.

TEAMS: Buffalo Sabres, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins
Lindy Ruff is tanned relaxed and ready for a fresh start.
After 15 seasons behind the Buffalo Sabres bench the 53-year-old native of Warburg Alta. is about to embark on only his second stint as a NHL head coach this time with the Dallas Stars.
It will be a strange feeling for Ruff to coach the team that beat his Sabres in the 1999 Stanley Cup final with the controversial Brett Hull goal but the new beginning has Ruff excited.
"In some ways especially the initial first few games" answered Ruff when asked if after 15 years with the Sabres it will be strange to coach a different team. "But once you get by the first few games it should be fine. I actually think once we get by the exhibition schedule there should be a good deal of comfort."
Ruff will not be alone. After 19 seasons as part of the Detroit Red Wings management team Jim Nill 55 departed Detroit to become the new Stars general manager.
The team also has a new look to its uniforms and among the fresh...

The Issue
The socio-economic and political turmoil of the early 1990s led to the deterioration of the health care system, subsequently disrupting vaccine provision services and suspending mass immunization of the child population in Georgia. Institutional and management capacities were affected and routine immunization coverage declined to approximately 30 per cent in 1993-1994. Support provided by international partners (UNICEF, WHO, USAID and the Japanese Government) over the last decade, was critical for revitalisation of the State Immunization Programme and improvement of service quality and performance. |

Ceph Pinger
Comments0this wiki
Pinger | |
Weapons: |
Frontal energy cannons |
Features: |
EMP "ping" |
Games: |
Ceph Pingers are large Ceph tripod, automated machines in Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. They act as the level bosses and are incredibly tough and highly damaging.
The Pinger appears as a huge, heavily-armored tripod combat walker, roughly 18 feet in height. Its large triangular head has two tubes on each side of its head and two guns mounted under the chin. The two digitigrade-built forelegs act as the Pinger's locomotion while the third rear leg acts as a stabilizer when stationary. Each leg has three talon-like toes.
The Pinger's armor plating is colored grayish-silver with black tubing and details. The "eyes" and rear-mounted power core glow bright red.
Crysis 2Edit
Their name was first briefly mentioned in the trailer "The Wall" when a missing poster is shown of James Thomasson. There is a post-it reading "Last seen at Central Park. Pinger Attack." They were first shown in a teaser trailer for E3 2010. In a gameplay video for Crysis 2 at E3 2010, a Pinger was fought against and later shown in a cinematic.
After Alcatraz joins the Marines fighting the Ceph in Midtown, a Marine can be heard shouting to his squadmates to block their ears to stop the noise. This is assumed to be a Pinger, although it cannot be seen, due to Alcatraz's position in the sewer. Pingers appears in "Corporate Collapse", "Terminus " and "Power Out". Once destroyed, a single Pinger leaves behind 2,000 Nano Catalyst.
Crysis 3Edit
Follow the events of Crysis 2, Pingers are deactivated and left abandoned in the New York ruins and overgrowth until their reactivation by the Alpha Ceph.
A deactivated Pinger can found in Safeties Off that can be used against Ceph Scorchers in the area. It will then proceed to explode soon after.
A few can be seen in later levels and are somewhat uncommon. However the player will have some highly explosive weaponary against them laying around near one (usually an APC, JAW missile Launchers or C4).
The last Pinger to appear in-game is in Gods And Monsters near the secondary objective that contains an APC (though not drivable, its mounted gun can still be fired), some bots that can be hacked and the rare X-43 MIKE.
Combat StrategyEdit
Crysis 2Edit
The Pinger is armed with the same energy-based chaingun utilized by the Ceph Gunship, as well as an EMP projector and a cannon similar to that of a Ceph Devastator. The shrieking-like noise it makes during normal operation and when firing its EMP is implied to cause large amounts of hearing discomfort or even pain, and is inferred to be the source of the name "Pinger."
The Pinger periodically fires EMP-based blasts that will completely drain the player's suit energy if close enough, and has the capability to know their position even when cloaked. If the player does cloak, the Pinger will stop shooting at the player, but will instead stop its patrol and start to fire EMP blasts at a more frequent rate. It also will look directly at the player, somehow knowing where he/she is, but will never fire its main gun. If the player goes behind cover, even while cloaked, it will fire an energy blast with a timed explosion behind their cover, and will continue firing them until it successfully flushes the player out.
Even though the Pinger's armor is thick, it can still be hurt. Its most vulnerable part of their body is the generator, which is identified as a glowing red object and damaging it allows for increased damage. Some weapons are more effective than others against the Pinger. The MK60 Mod 0 should be the player's staple weapon against one, but a weapon with the Gauss attachment also works; JAW's and packs of C4 (usually at least four) - if available - should be used against the generator. Though it takes some skill, an L-TAG can prove just as deadly as the JAW.
Crysis 3Edit
- In a pre-release TV commercial for Crysis 2, the Pinger is notably missing its third stabalizing leg it had in the final game. Also, the Pinger's red areas were more orange.
- Pingers can use echolocation to locate targets, revealed by Alcatraz in Crysis: Legion.
- The first Pinger the player faces in the end of the mission "Corporate Collapse" is named "MrPingy" in the Sandbox.
- Pingers are able to move around underwater much like the Ceph Gunship and the Warrior.
- In the Crysis 3 Crash Site multiplayer mode, players are able to go into the Pinger and use it as a vehicle.

On a rainy November day police detectives Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein are summoned to a mysterious traffic accident: A woman has fallen from a pedestrian bridge onto a car driving underneath. According to a witness, the woman may have been pushed. The investigation leads Pia and Oliver to a small village, and the home of the victim, Rita Cramer.On a September evening eleven years earlier, two seventeen-year-old girls vanished from the village without a trace. In a trial based only on circumstantial evidence, twenty-year-old Tobias Sartorius, Rita Cramer's son, was sentenced to ten years in prison. Bodenstein and Kirchhoff discover that Tobias, after serving his sentence, has now returned to his home town. Did the attack on his mother have something to do with his return?
In the village, Pia and Oliver encounter a wall of silence. When another young girl disappears, the events of the past seem to be repeating themselves in a disastrous manner. The investigation turns into a race against time, because for the villagers it is soon clear who the perpetrator is-and this time they are determined to take matters into their own hands.An atmospheric, character-driven and suspenseful mystery set in a small town that could be anywhere, dealing with issues of gossip, power, and keeping up appearances.

To mammogram or not to mammogram?On the agenda today... The Government has released new information when it comes to mammograms. A government task force now says most women don't need a mammogram in their 40s and should wait until they turn 50, at which point get one every two years. a government task force said Monday. The government panel of doctors and scientists concluded that getting screened for breast cancer so early and so often leads to too many false alarms and unneeded biopsies without substantially improving women's odds of survival. And, of course many worry about the risks of exposure to mammogram radiation - which some say could lead to cancer. This comes in conflict with the American Cancer Society's long-standing position. The ACS has been recommending annual mammograms beginning at 40. Joleen Ferris will be catching up with hospitals as well as a rep from the Cancer Society to talk about the two forces being at odds. The task force also said breast self-exams don't do any good and women shouldn't be shown how to used them. |

text: What Comes After Antibiotics? 5 Alternatives to Stop Superbugs "Superbug" bacterial infections that are resistant to common antibiotics are increasing at an alarming rate. But traditional antibiotics aren't the only way to battle dangerous germs. Biomedical scientists are investigating new additions to their arsenal. By Adam Hadhazy Email Comments 0 Share Back 1 of 6 Next Back Next TEK IMAGE/Getty Images View Thumbnails In the realm of human health, few developments are scarier than the growing uselessness of antibiotics. These miracle drugs have kept killer diseases in check for decades, saving millions of lives. Fortunately, antibiotics still workmost of the time. And though we are winning battles against germs, scientists fear that we are starting to lose the war. According to a 2013 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than two million people in the United States now come down with antibiotic-resistant superbug infections every year. At least 23,000 victims die annually. And harmful bacteria and fungi are evolving resistance to deployed antibiotics at a quicker pace than we can come up with new drugs. From 1980 to 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved more than 50 new antibiotics. Since then, the number approved is less than 10and, since 2010, zero. "We have to do something, because the old antibiotic approach is failing," says Ry Young, director of the Center for Phage Technology at Texas A&M University. "The problem is becoming worse, and becoming worse faster." In the arms race with pathogens, here are some of our most promising new weapons.

The legacy of the Civil War is that it brought forth a new birth of freedom for this great Nation of ours.
It is August 1864. Union prisoners-of-war languish in Camp Sumter, Georgia (also known as Andersonville). The prisoners endure appalling conditions that are steadily getting worse.

Mary-Kay Wilmers
Mary-Kay Wilmers | |
Born | Chicago |
July 19, 1938
Education | Oxford University |
Occupation | Journalist and editor |
Known for | Editing the London Review of Books |
Spouse(s) | Stephen Frears (1968–early 1970s) |
Mary-Kay Wilmers (born 19 July 1938) is an editor and journalist who has been the editor of the London Review of Books since 1992.[1]
Family and education[edit]
Mary-Kay Wilmers was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City. Her mother was Russian and of Russian Jewish descent, while her father's family were, she said, "very English", although they had come from Germany.[2] For many years Wilmers worked on a book, published in 2009 as The Eitingons: A Twentieth Century Story (London, Faber; ISBN 978-0-571-23472-1), recounting the story of her mother's Russian relations, including the psychoanalyst Max Eitingon, as well as her grandfather's cousin Leonid Eitingon, an agent in Joseph Stalin's NKVD who was responsible for masterminding the assassination of Leon Trotsky.[3]
In 1946 Wilmers' parents moved to Europe, spending time in London, Portugal, Belgium and Switzerland. Her father established a utilities company that became a Belgium multinational.[4] Wilmers was educated in Brussels and at boarding school in England. She said that for some time she was happier speaking in French than in English.[2]
At Oxford, where Wilmers read modern languages at St Hugh's College from 1957,[5] she became a friend of Alan Bennett, later a regular contributor to the London Review of Books, who said about her time at university that, "Outside the novels of Nancy Mitford or Evelyn Waugh, I had never come across anyone who behaved so confidently or in such a cosmopolitan fashion."[6]
For the week of her finals she moved into the Randolph Hotel, staying with her father whose presence was required as Wilmers was threatening to refuse to sit the exams.[7]
Early career[edit]
After her graduation in 1960, she thought about becoming a translator at the United Nations, but instead went to work at the publishers Faber and Faber, at first being employed as a secretary.[7] On one occasion she thought she might be sacked for saying "bugger" in front of T.S. Eliot, whose letters she used to type up.[6] She later became an editor at Faber and Faber, and, among many books, was responsible for commissioning Eva Figes to write Patriarchal Attitudes, one of the first books of British feminism.[7] She left Faber aged 29 to become deputy editor of the Listener, edited by Karl Miller, and in the 1970s had a spell at The Times Literary Supplement (TLS).[3]
London Review of Books[edit]
In 1979 Wilmers joined Miller in founding the London Review of Books (LRB), conceived to fill a gap in the market as a year-long industrial dispute had closed The Times Literary Supplement.[8] The new review was an off-shoot of the New York Review of Books, at first appearing folded inside the older publication.[9] The first edition appeared in October 1979.
The New York Review of Books withdrew its support after a few months and in May 1980 Wilmers made the first of a number of investments of money inherited from her father, establishing an independent London Review of Books and later making herself the majority shareholder.[6][7] In January 2010 The Times newspaper reported that the review was £27 million in debt to the Wilmers family trust. "It's family money and the debts have been rising for many years," Wilmers said. "But I really just look after the commas."[1]
Wilmers became co-editor in 1988 and editor in 1992. Her style was to take a highly interventionist approach:[7] "You want to help readers along. Not discourage them by making them go through a swamp of unnecessary sentences," she said.[4] Her friend Hilary Mantel called Wilmers "a presiding genius", while Andrew O'Hagan explained: "She can't bear a lazy sentence or secondhand metaphor. She's tireless in her commitment to the paper".[6] In 2009 the LRB's circulation was 48,000,[6] making it the largest-selling literary publication in Europe.
As an editor, Wilmers has been closely associated with the work of a number of novelists and essayists, including Alan Bennett, John Lanchester, Jenny Diski, Blake Morrison, Alan Hollinghurst, Seamus Heaney, Ian McEwan, Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes, Craig Raine, Colm Tóibín, Stefan Collini, James Wood, Linda Colley, Jacqueline Rose, Paul Foot, Tariq Ali and Edward Luttwak. Many of these were published prominently when at the beginnings of their careers.[9]
Politically the review is not known for following a consistent party political line,[9] although Wilmers described herself as being "captivated by the left but not of it".[6] Under her editorship the review's treatment of political matters sometimes attracted controversy. In 2006 an article by academics John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt was criticised in some quarters for its claim that the foreign policy of the United States was in the grip of an "Israel lobby". Wilmers has herself said, "I'm unambiguously hostile to Israel because it's a mendacious state",[6] an assessment which has not gone unchallenged.[10] An article by the Cambridge historian Mary Beard, published after the events of September 11, 2001, attracted some attention for suggesting that "America had it coming",[6] and when David Marquand, the political historian and principal of Mansfield College, Oxford, submitted a review praising Tony Blair's handling of the post-September 11 period as "impeccable", Wilmers replied saying, "I can't square it with my conscience to praise so wholeheartedly Blair's conduct..." and pulled the piece. Marquand announced that he was "utterly shocked".[6]
Wilmers has also written for the New Review, and The New Yorker. A book of tributes to her, Bad Character, was published privately in June 2008 and distributed as a limited edition.
Personal life[edit]
In 1968 Wilmers married film director Stephen Frears, with whom she had two sons, Sam and Will Frears (a stage and film director). The couple divorced in the early 1970s.[7]

How much do you want hi-def? That's the question you'll have to answer when surveying the camcorder landscape at £1,200, where the Sony Handycam HDR-HC1 makes its debut. On one hand, the HC1's 2.8-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers visibly sharper 1080i HD video (via the HDV format) and standard MiniDV in a surprisingly compact, generally well-designed body.
On the other hand, at that price level, it competes with three-chip models from Panasonic, such as the AG-DVC30, which produce much better colour accuracy and dynamic range and deliver easier-to-edit video. And you always have the option of going with a cheaper model that simply records widescreen in standard DV.
If your shooting style includes intensive adjustments and copious use of the eye-level viewfinder, the Sony Handycam HDR-HC1 is not the camcorder for you. Though it provides an excellent viewfinder and a good set of options to tweak, the design of the HC1 assumes you'll be using the LCD for recording.
As with most of its consumer camcorders, Sony incorporates a touch-screen menu system in the HDR-HC1, which can be quite annoying if you're shooting with the viewfinder. For instance, to adjust the white balance, you have to lower the camcorder from your eye, flip open the LCD (with the concomitant surge in battery drain), choose your option, close the LCD, and bring the viewfinder back to your eye to reframe the shot.
Even more irritating, to use the camcorder's white-balance fine-tuning control, you have to operate an onscreen slider by touching fairly small plus and minus icons -- which effectively eradicates the 'fine' from fine-tuning. Of course, for spot focus and spot metering, the touch screen is invaluable. Sony still needs to find the right balance of touch-screen and physical controls for models such as this one.
The HC1 may not be the most efficiently designed camcorder for shooting, but it's both extremely solid and compact -- it weighs about 700g -- making it comfortable to hold for extended periods. A textured piece of plastic makes it clear where your right hand should grip the top, and your remaining fingers fall naturally in place over the rest of the shooting controls. The especially comfortable viewfinder tilts up and has both an enlarged eyecup and a very bright screen.
The Sony Handycam HDR-HC1's real draw is its ability to record 1080i hi-def video on standard MiniDV cassettes. It uses the recently implemented HDV format, which employs MPEG-2 compression rather than DV. Not much software currently supports HDV for digitising, and the packages that do tend to be expensive products such as Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and Apple Final Cut Pro 5.0. So the HC1 also provides HD-to-DV down-conversion for editing or playback on a standard-def (SD) TV. Like its big brother, the HDR-FX1, it incorporates Sony's Cinematic mode for simulating the appearance of 24fps film. It can also record standard DV. The camcorder supports component-video output and supplies the necessary cables, but if you have a FireWire port on your TV, you'll get the best playback quality that way.
For the HC1's sensor, Sony uses a 1/3-inch, 3-megapixel CMOS chip with an RGB filter array. That provides an effective 2 megapixels for HD shooting and stills, 1.5 megapixels for SD video, and 2.8 megapixels for 4:3 photos. Its Zeiss T* 10x zoom lens won't win any spec wars, but it's perfectly sufficient for most shots, and Sony boosts the zoom effectiveness with its Super SteadyShot electronic stabilisation.

Thousands of New Yorkers are still coping with the damage left by Hurricane Sandy, and for two Queens families, the recent rainstorms made living conditions even worse. NY1's Polly Kreisman filed the following report.
In a duplex in Jamaica, Queens, two families are still enduring damage from Hurricane Sandy.
"It's horrible no one should have to live like this," said renter Natasha Francis. "I feel like the hurricane is in my home." Her building's second floor, which had been leaking since the storm hit on October 29, finally collapsed after Friday's rain and wind. Francis was left with soggy floors, ruined furniture, mold in a daughter's bedroom and constant scrubbing with bleach with little result.
The landlord told her he cannot afford to make repairs.
"I'm upset. I'm angry, because I've spoken to my landlord about this and now it's gotten so worse and now it's unliveable. I can't live here with my kids," Francis said.
Downstairs, Khaleeda Khan's family said they fear they will soon see damages. By Saturday night, their ceiling was cracking above the Christmas tree, so the decorations were coming down. "It's not the Christmas I imagined," Khan said. "I did all my shopping, all the preparations to have a good Christmas for my kids, my family and we're not going to have it."
"I'm worried because I'm scared that Santa won't come to our house because of the mess that Hurricane Sandy made," said a girl in Khan's family. New Yorkers in similar situations should call FEMA at 1-800-621-3362 to receive temporary housing, and call 311 so the mayor's office can send an inspector.

I'm one of those people who loves everything about Valentine's Day (you may be saying, "blech" right now, but I do). Well, I'm not particularly fond of how commercial the holiday has become, but I do love all the hugs, kisses, homemade cards and, of course, sweet treats! While you can easily buy your Valentine a bag of sweet tarts with cute sayings printed on them, why not go to the store, buy fresh ingredients and then make something special with your kids instead? This year, Kenya, Chloe and I have decided to make Raspberry Cream Cheese Heart Tarts for daddy (I hope he doesn't read this post before the 14th) to show him just how much we love him. After all, isn't food the fastest way to a daddy's heart?
Putting a spin on Pop Tarts, one of my childhood favorites, I came up with the idea of these homemade Heart Tarts. Filled with fresh raspberries and a pink icing that's made with the juice from the raspberries instead of food coloring, if Pop Tarts had actually been made this way, my mom would have probably allowed me to eat them more often as a kid.
Kenya and I shot a little video of us making this recipe which I'm posting this Friday, but in case you can't wait that long, I've printed how to prepare them below. It's an unbelievably easy and deliciously fun way to share the love. Just wait till you try them -- I bet you won't be saying "blech" anymore!

My favorite Weelicious treat so far!
These were great! My almost three year old and I made them together and aside from the spillage there isn't a significant difference between mine and hers. I helped her to press the edges but that was about all I had to do. You also dont need to be very careful about the filling spilling out because it peels off of the dough easily when they are done baking They are equally delicious! We will definitely be making these again. Thanks for the recipie!

does the icing harden? I'm looking for an icing to use on some cookies for my son's birthday party and this looks perfect.
Just wanted to tell you how much we LOVED these!
Made them by the recipe with my son earlier in the week (cooked only :17 and still over-done). We made them this weekend with our niece visiting. Used blueberries & strawberries in the filling and cooked for :15 and they were PERFECT!!
Thank you! You just relieved my guilt issue around not letting my little one experience one of my fun childhood treats! These ones have such great ingredients I plan to make up a batch asap! Nice work!
Quick question, I noticed the recipe says 1/4 c cream cheese, but on the "program" it says 1/2 c cream cheese. Just wondering which is better to use? Also, the recipe says to add milk or water to the icing, but it wasn't mentioned in the program..I'm assuming to use it, yes? Thanks! Can't wait to taste them, they look yummy!

Thank you so much for this fun and yummy recipe. I'm pregnant with my 2nd baby and I have wanted pop tarts but didn't want to eat the store bought kind. Hubby really liked them too!
Loved them! Made just past Valentine's Day, so between that and my boys not being into hearts, I used a sandwich press to cut circles and also used it to crimp the edges. Made it even more simple!
This hearts not only came out beautiful but delicious too , thanks again Catherine!
Hi, I live in France where cream cheese does not exist, does anyone have an idea what I could use instead? Would cottage cheese work?
I love weelicious and try a lot of recipes, but sometimes it's really hard (or impossible) to find the right ingredients…
Maybe quark?
Hi crumb boss I just want to say I love your show I watch it every night before I go to bed and in the monring before school. I'm only 13 and tell my other friends who love to bake to watch your show and they love it too. And I just wanted to say hi:)
Creme fraiche?
My first visit here looks like a great site. I'll look forward to renntriug and reading your articles!I've posted a potato salad that qualifies as seriously healthy but satisfying and delicious with potatoes, red kidney beans, asparagus, greens, shallots, herbs, and lemon!
maybe mascarpone?

Senate Hearing in Iowa Cafeteria Focuses on Bullying of Youth
June 8, 2012 by Ty Cobb, Director of Global Engagement
Today, Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee held a hearing on bullying outside the halls of the U.S. Capitol complex. Harkin held the hearing in the cafeteria at East High School in Des Moines, Iowa.
At the hearing, Sen. Harkin stated that about one in every five children face bullying at some point in their lives. He acknowledged that gay and transgender youth are at high risk of being bullied and cited information from HRC's recently released landmark study of LGBT youth.
In conjunction with the hearing, Sen. Harkin released a new report on bullying from the General Accounting Office. The report concludes that legal protections related to bullying of vulnerable groups need to be more fully assessed. It calls on the Departments of Education, Justice and Health and Human Services to assess whether the current legal protections related to bullying are adequate.
Sen. Harkin used the hearing and the GAO report to talk about his Successful Safe and Healthy Students Act of 2011 (S. 919), which would require school districts to enact anti-bullying and harassment policies. HRC supports the Successful Safe and Healthy Students Act of 2011. Additionally, HRC supports and urges the Senate to address this issue by passing the Student Non-Discrimination Act (S. 555) and the Safe Schools Improvement Act (S. 506).
Testifying at the hearing were representatives for the GAO and the Department of Education, as well as education professionals and students from Iowa.

My Story: Affordable Themed Bedrooms

Kid-Friendly Decorating
Creative Kids' Rooms on a Budget The Cheapskate's Guide to Children's Rooms |
My son changes his mind about the theme for his room at least once a year, so I've learned how to do it on the cheap.
Wall Art
Look for character folders in the school supply section of stores like Wal-Mart and Target or out-of-date character calendars on places like eBay or in the bargain bin at the bookstore. Another great idea is to print free downloads onto photo quality paper. All of these can be matted and framed with inexpensive pre-cut mats and simple white or colored frames from the dollar store. You can use the frames over and over. Mylar character balloons and kites also make great wall decorations.
Buy a quilt panel. A lot of times you can get them for $5 to $7 at Wal-Mart or on eBay. Then block it out with strips of plain color and coordinating fabric to make a character bedspread. If you can sew a straight seam, you can do this. It's not hard.
Take a plain gooseneck lamp with a large base and glue the action figure of choice on it. Cover the shade with coordinating fabric. Another option is to use character stickers on a small jug lamp and then spray with acrylic fixative. We did a Harry Potter lamp for $3 this way. We paid $1 for stickers, $1 for the lamp at a yard sale and $.99 for the fixative. We used fabric that was left over from his bedspread to cover the shade.
If character fabric is too expensive and you have a machine that appliques, you can buy 1/2 yard of character fabric, cut out the figures they want and machine applique them onto inexpensive fabric. I did this with Spiderman. We bought 1/2 yard of fabric with two-inch Spiderman figures on it, cut them out and machine appliqued them to black and white spider web material that was on sale after Halloween for $.50 per yard. For about $5, we got custom Spiderman curtains for a large window. It took about three hours to cut out and sew on the appliques. If you don't sew, you can also glitter paint theme-related objects onto plain fabric. For Harry Potter, we bought plain blue and white mottled fabric on the $1 a yard table and then we painted lightning bolts on it with gold glitter glue.
Wallpaper borders are inexpensive, easy to change, and come in almost any theme you would want. We bought three rolls for $8.99 (Harry Potter) on eBay. With the extra, we decorated his ceiling fan blades.
Desks or Chairs
A metal school type desk can easily have the legs and sides spray-painted in coordinating theme colors. The tops screw on and off. I have covered the top of my son's desk two times in plastic tablecloths from the party store, giving us an instant character desk. Both actually lasted as long as he wanted the room. If you buy a chair with a removable seat, you can cover it with coordinating fabric to match the bedspread or curtains for pennies.
I have done Thomas the Tank Engine, Spiderman, Winnie the Pooh and Harry Potter Rooms for my son. Our max total has always been under $50 for a complete room change. When we change themes, I sell the character bedspread, matted pictures, and curtains on eBay. Usually I re-coup over half the cost of the room change. With the Spiderman curtains, I actually made money. They sold for $25 and I only had about $5 in them. We'll be doing Star Wars next.

Most people won't have the money to buy an RS6, because with a starting price of around £77,000 it could hardly be described as a mass-market car. But there are plenty of people around who do have the money, and are looking for a high-performance car...

Audi R8 Spyder V8 review
The Audi R8 is the fantasy sports car for many. A car with stunning looks, handling that's universally lauded, and a badge that tells you that inside, things are going to be relatively practical. The R8 Spyder takes that foundation, adds a clever folding...

Audi TT 2.0 TFSI S tronic review
The Audi TT has something of an image problem. The original, with its curvaceous arches and bubbly behind, quickly became stereotyped and although this model, the second-edition TT is much more aggressive in design, much of that stigma still exists. When...

Audi A6 Allroad 3.0 TDI Quattro review
The Audi A6 Allroad is something of a strange car. Not strange in terms of looks, because it has a prettiness to it's toughened design, but strange in terms of it's positioning as a car. It's something of a rare breed, combining the practicality of a...

The Huffington Post, an Internet blog that debuted May 9 after a campaign that would have delighted P.T. Barnum, makes me nostalgic for the good old days of journalism.
It isn't that its founder, Arianna Huffington (who named it for herself in true Hollywood "enough about me, not what do YOU think about me" fashion) doesn't have every right to join the increasingly clogged blog superhighway. Rather, this blog has an agenda and speaks mostly to people who already believe what most of its writers say.
Increasingly, we are surrounded by people who write and speak to a single constituency - their own. The left is now trying to gin-up the same level of anger the right has used to propel itself into political power and media heaven by its dominance of talk radio and much of cable TV. It is failing, though, because the left continues to have numerous mainstream outlets for its ideas. The left's problem is that people are familiar with those ideas and they are rejecting them.
In The Huffington Post, the musical genius Quincy Jones explains that Michael Jackson's problem is too much fame and too little of God. But director Mike Nichols writes that the Bible is nothing but metaphors and is not to be taken seriously as "fundamentalists" do (Quincy, please call Mike).
Gary Hart(pence) continues his endless campaign to be taken seriously since his alliance on the deliciously named yacht, "Monkey Business." Hart contributes an essay that asks if the U.S. is building permanent military bases in Iraq. If so, he says, that means we do not intend to withdraw all our troops. Profound, Gary.
Other certified lefties, like Walter Cronkite, Larry David, Democrat Sen. John Corzine of New Jersey, and an occasional right-winger like John Fund of The Wall Street Journal and Joe Scarborough of the low-rated MSNBC, contribute, but most of the blog is leftist and secular.
Director and former "Meathead" Rob Reiner thinks the press is doing a lousy job by not exposing Bush Administration scandals. "Where Have You Gone Woodward and Bernstein?" he asks. To the bank, Rob. They sold their Watergate papers for big bucks to the University of Texas.
The problem with blogs like The Huffington Post is that they divert our attention from real and serious journalism. OK, there hasn't been much serious journalism for at least 20 years as real journalists have died or gone on to other rewards and the networks have been taken over by people who care only about the bottom line and little about covering news that matters.
