It wasn't so long ago that electronic files were limited to simple text and spreadsheet documents. These were clearly very useful for some purposes but not the most attractive of documents. The next big development was the explosion of desktop publishing and electronic layout programs. Suddenly newspapers and magazines were being designed and laid out electronically and the entire printing industry was changed forever.
Rise of the PDF
All of these new graphics, image manipulation and page layout programs created a problem however, as computer users with different computer platforms and application software could not share documents. The Portable Document Format (PDF) from Adobe addressed that need. With users able to view documents without access to the application that created it, workflows in publishing were much simpler and users on different platforms could share information.
Interactive pdf files
Standard PDF files are now common and a widely accepted document format. They contain text and images but with computer users now used to interacting with other media types online, such as video and audio, the demand was there to develop a PDF with multimedia capabilities. These multimedia PDF files would provide the user with a much more interactive experience and include media types like video, audio, images, flash animation and interactive buttons.
Why use a PDF with multimedia?
Creating a multimedia PDF gives you the opportunity to create a much more engrossing experience for the recipient. Instead of pages of text, ideas and information can be shared more vividly and succinctly by using video for example. Interactive PDF files also contain clickable buttons which allow the user to navigate around the document in their own time and according to their own preferences, selecting the information that is of most interest to them without the need to wade through pages of text.
Typical uses for interactive PDF files
A multimedia PDF is a great tool for designers and commercial organizations to show off their wares. It is far better to show a product or a design project rather than just write about it. Using a PDF with multimedia would allow such organizations to create a video about a product and then talk about it to support the product information contained in the text. Recipients requiring more information can then click on buttons to take them to more relevant content. Interactive PDF files are also a great way to bring a newsletter to life and can be used to guide and support users filling in a form within the document.
A computer file game-changer
Modern computer users are now used to using rich media formats such as audio and video online. Clearly they come to expect the same sort of experience when using documents too. The multimedia PDF provides a platform to do exactly that and it has changed the nature of what we think of as a document. Now a PDF with multimedia document provides a vehicle for the delivery of all sorts of information in a single, portable format.

Statement of Jeff Chester, Executive Director, Center for Digital Democracy
Online Biz Lobby Expands in DC, inc. Google, Facebook, Yahoo. Privacy on its radar screen
Submitted by demedia on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 14:04One sign of the success of my CDD and our privacy, consumer protection and civil liberties allies is the dramatic growth of lobbyists working for the online marketing industry in DC (and around world). Google, Facebook, Yahoo and others are fearful that the Congress and FTC will weigh in and protect the public.

Viewing Single Post From: GH News & Gossip | |
Steve Frame | Oct 2 2007, 04:28 PM |
GoSSIP for the week of 10/1 Gossip for the week of 01-Oct-2007 by Carol Banks Weber About two, three weeks ago, I began to read of rumors that at least three actors were hot to be in a story opposite Kimberly McCullough (Robin). Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) and Steve Burton (Jason) were two of them, and Jason Thompson (Patrick) is the third who is supposedly not thrilled by the way Scrubs were scrubbed. Christopher's Nikolas will entrust his health crisis to good friend Robin to help him sort through, that much is for certain. On October 12, according to a Soap Dish source, Burton's Jason will go one further on the intimacy sale by donating his sperm for Robin's pregnancy cause. More victims will fall to the mob war. Head writer Bob Guza promised (in the latest SPW) one of those fatalities won't be a bit player either, but a major female character… like, perhaps Natalia Livingston's Emily, Nancy Lee Grahn's Alexis, or Kelly Monaco's Sam? If the loser turns out to be Monaco, some board posters have speculated it could tie in to a past story featuring Allegra and Sam's doppelganger, the mean and nasty Alicia, in 2005. Maybe Alicia wasn't killed off (was she killed at all? I'm spacing), maybe the vengeful slut before us is Alicia, and Sam's still back with Allegra trapped somewhere on a tropical island, fighting to get back to Jason. Cough::copout::cough cough. With the Guza announcement of more fatalities comes the free-fall of fear and trepidation over livelihood from the actors not working on GH much. And, more to the point, does Guza have the brass to kill off Sonny's children? That would really send the message that crime never pays. We've seen Anthony Zacchara's nutty son Johnny with his gun. Soon, we may see his beautiful daughter, who arrives to deal some justice to long-time rival Sam (hence, the fatality). Susan Ward (ex-Meg, Sunset Beach; Shallow Hal) is a name a poster brought up on the Soap Opera Central site to play this daughter. http://soapzone.com/newsroom.php/gh/news ******************************************* News for the week of 10/1 News for the week of 01-Oct-2007 by Carol Banks Weber Maurice Benard (Sonny) experienced the adage – Be careful what you wish for – when TPTB finally agreed to give his soap character Sonny Corinthos the manic-depressive story the actor always wanted, last year. Because Benard is a Method actor, he threw himself 100 percent into this story, neglecting his mental health, much to his wife Paula's consternation. It didn't take long for Benard or Paula to realize, something's gone horribly wrong. "After two months of it, I knew that I wasn't [okay]. But that's a problem with this disease. You always deny. 'I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.' Until you get to that point. And unfortunately, at the end of the story, I got to that point. I had another anxiety attack." It was actually during the approaching climax of his scenes with Natalia Livingston (Emily) – when Sonny's apologizing for his behavior and insisting to Emily that it's bad – that viewers could see the anxiety attack coming. During those scenes, he hallucinated that his mother and father were on the set, and that's when he knew he'd lost it. At first, he said he mistook the anxiety attack for a nervous breakdown and freaked. Wife Paula went behind Benard's back, to ask the writers to slow the pace and ease up, for her husband's sake. They did. She said if Benard knew about it at the time, he would've been angry with her, because—even though he sensed himself losing control from the on-screen to the real life, character crossing over to portrayer—he needed to remain truthful to this true to life story; that's just how he operates. Another anxiety attack? Well, remember a flight Benard was booked on but bailed at the last minute? That anxiety attack. He recently came to another realization, he can't fly. The one time he tried to board a plane, he said he just had to get off. The panic attack threw him, he'd never had one before. But manic-depressive experts say having a panic attack is part of the symptom-ology. Maurice Benard and his wife Paula were on the Oprah Winfrey talk show September 24 via satellite to give an update on his life since his last in-studio appearance on her show in 2004. Everybody in Maurice Benard's (Sonny) life worried that he would go too far for his craft during the manic-depressive story of last year. Wife Paula and head writer Bob Guza Jr. kept going to Benard, 44, to make sure he was cool with the pace and the dialogue and the fictional situation. Like any manic-depressive falling deeper into a pit of self-delusion, Benard always placated their worries and fears, but sensed danger. "It was the most courageous thing I'd ever seen," Guza explained. "Most actors take risks; good ones take a character as far as they can. But they also have a cushion—it's a role. Maurice wasn't just playing it, he was living it. And he went to some scary, scary places." This story was the scariest he ever threw himself into. "I've been doing this 14 years, with some pretty intense story lines, and there have been times where I thought maybe I'd taken it a little bit too far. But it was nothing like last year, when I played, for over two months, a guy losing his mind," Benard said. When he first took on Sonny Corinthos many years ago in the late '90s, Benard envisioned a parallel back story starting with the diagnosis of bipolar disorder—with or without the writers. For Benard, it was a way of fleshing out and humanizing a mobster. "… I thought to myself 'How can I make this guy come off in a way where it's justified, in his head, what he's doing?' I had always thought about the history of the character, what happened to him as a child. When I let it be known I was bipolar, we wrote it into the character." –BP Magazine, "This Rebel Has a Cause" by John Anderson, Fall 2007 Steve Burton (Jason) joked with Soap Opera Weekly's "Carolyn Corner" columnist Carolyn Hinsey that his current job is to keep from cracking up on-screen around friend Bradford Anderson (Spinelli). It hasn't been easy for Burton, who himself can be funny as hell. Sometimes, Burton admitted, he and Anderson will just let it fly before the final take—just to get it all out of his system, "and the crew will be laughing and stuff. But then I have to go back to being straightforward guy." But when it's go-time, Burton said he sobers himself up by thinking of "not-nice things." Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth) recently learned that her eldest son Ethan knows a lot more about the soap opera industry than she originally assumed when he expressed some jealousy over her on-screen son – and real-life neighbor friend's child Braden (Cameron). Ethan visited the set, saw Braden up onstage with his mommy pretending to be her son, and wanted in right away. After she explained that he couldn't take over the role because of their age difference, Ethan is almost six, while Cameron is supposed to be only three, the smart boy simply answered back, "When they age Cameron, do you think I can play your son?" Her response was, How the heck did Ethan know about SORAS'ing? –Soap Opera Weekly Megan Ward's (Kate) turning into GH's version of Friends' Jennifer Aniston with her stylish Anna Wintour-esque hairstyle, short, sassy, versatile from day to night, mommy to red carpet actress. Ward said she always experimented with changing her hair, whether it's the style, cut or color, arrived at her current incarnation out of practical consideration as a mom to her second child, daughter Audrey. Her hairdresser Jaky Beasse took full credit for the transformation which shortly would land her the coveted leading role on GH opposite Maurice Benard (Sonny), and be the source of envy for many female fans. "The next time I went to see him, I told him how I got the role of Kate and described it to him. He said, 'You got it because of your haircut.'" Her haircut is a woman's dream; she raved about its versatility, with or without product. "I can wash and go. When they style it for the show, sometimes they curl it. Sometimes they blow it out. The great thing about the style is that you [do nothing] and it still looks put together. Then, when you add just a little bit of product, it can look really polished." Hairdresser Jaky Beasse also reported to Ward that many of his customers have inquired about receiving the same Megan Ward treatment, the ultimate compliment. –Soap Opera Weekly I have it on good authority that Jason Gerhardt's (Cooper) position at GH is solid, and he has not been shown the door by September 28 as previously rumored. In fact, Gerhardt faces a considerable work load this month, which will air for November Sweeps. This comes straight from his manager Anthony Barnao, who had let the moderator/fan club president Lisa Sullivan know. She posted his news on the actor's official fan forum. Sullivan informed me, "Of course, sure...in this business ANYTHING can happen but as far as we (Jason's team) [are] aware, we are proceeding with 'business as usual.' The Fan Club itself should be ready for launch by November Sweeps as well." Veteran soap actress Leslie Charleson (Monica) will host her "30 Years of Monica Quartermaine" luncheon in New York City's Sofia's Restaurant, October 27, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Non-refundable tickets run $70 per LCFC Fan Club member, and $80 per non-member. Info: LCFC Fan Club. Soap Opera Digest [October 2, 2007] reporters couldn't find a GH cast member to go on the public record with their comments about Kirsten Storms (Maxie), 23, and her September 7th DUI. But anonymously, they seemed very supportive and understanding. One of them said the arrest could've happened to any of them, making it look like Storms just had a little too much to drink and should've hailed a cab or gotten a sober friend to drive her home. "There but for the grace of God go I. You could have one drink and not have eaten and get thrown in the clinker. You have to be very mindful when driving. I have a glass of wine when I go out to dinner. Could I get caught? We all have to be more careful." Another anonymous cast member vouched for Storms' character regardless, citing her professionalism, kindness on and around the set, but suggesting her youth may have played a role. Rick Springfield (Noah) has encountered his share of fans—of the soap and of his music—and this one lady had him and his band mates all fooled. Out on a music tour, Springfield and his band met the lady's acquaintance when she fabricated a convincing story of her hotel connections as heir to the throne, and her ability to hook them up with comped Marriott Hotel rooms, wherever they toured. "We thought all this was great," Springfield explained. "Then, about six months after we got off the road, the FBI came looking for her for all these bounced checks that she paid for all those hotel rooms with! She was unbelievable, but she was totally believable to us." –Soap Opera Digest, October 2, 2007 The other week, I got politely reamed by a regular reader for putting General Hospital: Night Shift in amongst the GH News & Gossip, asking why couldn't I do a separate section for the SoapNet spinoff? Well, I'm not god (Jeff Jungblut)!!!... duh! Until or if he deems another section worthy of NS, info about the hit nighttime soap will remain here. A lot of the spinoff cast has been transferred directly to the mother ship of GH anyway, with the approach of the summer arc storyline finale next Thursday, so it counts. Jason Thompson (Patrick) previewed the finale as an explosive full circle, in that both it and the premiere leave viewers gasping for breath. The premiere had an exploding ambulance amidst the usual night shift chaos. And the finale will see a gang barge onto the premises and shoot 'em up, putting the staff in peril, including Patrick and Robin. Their relationship is far from over, Thompson hinted, but for now, they're apart, and their finale scenes won't exact warm the hearts of the Scrubs fans. "[The scenes] between them are not as serious as some would probably like. There are intense moments." More of those moments will cross over permanently to GH, along with the third-party detractor, the lovely student nurse Leyla. But judging from Thompson's tease, Leyla may not factor in as importantly as Robin worries she does. –Soap Opera Weekly My two favorite GH: NS staff members will most definitely be seen on GH, starting the week of October 8. Look for heart surgeon Leo Julian (Dominic Rains) and anesthesiologist Andy Archer (Ron Melendez). http://soapzone.com/newsroom.php/gh/news |

Round 6
Dan LeFevour, Quarterback, Central Michigan- this is where things went off the tracks for me. Um, don't we have Jay Cutler? If we need to add any depth to that position, shouldn't it be an experienced signal caller, maybe someone like a Marc Bulger who is familiar with Mike Martz's system? Shouldn't we be addressing PROTECTING the quarterback? I guess if we just add another body at the position, they add an insurance policy for Cutler.
That's not taking anything away from LeFevour, who was extremely productive at the college level. Plus, he's a local kid, so he will get what it means to be a Chicago Bear. Let's see what the Bears' Midwest scout Jeff Shiver had to say about LeFevour:

Trinity Dinunzio, now a fourth-grade student at St. Michael's Country Day School in Newport, has been awarded a $1,000 savings bond as Rhode Island's winner in the 2010-2011 Bonnie Plants' 3rd Grade Cabbage Program.
In early June, Trinity and her classmates each received a tiny cabbage plant in a small container from her science teacher, Lisa Pritchard, who had signed her class up for the program.
Ms. Pritchard submitted Trinity's name in September after seeing the picture above of the cabbage, taken by her family, a family very much interested in gardening and "growing your own food."
The winning cabbage weighed 19 lbs., was 36 to 40 inches in diameter and approximately 20 inches tall.
Trinity first grew the cabbage in a small container, then transferred it to a larger one before she eventually put it in ground she prepared by digging a big hole and adding compost. A little research online led to a planting site next to a thyme plant. Trinity says she watered her cabbage regularly and fertilized it with fish emulsion once every week or two.
By July the cabbage has grown considerably. Both Trinity and her mother were concerned that the outer leaves were damaged. They avoid using any toxic pesticides and later learned that they had provided food to lots of cabbage white butterfly caterpillars. A wire fence around the growing cabbage protected it from rabbits and other animals.
The family harvested the huge cabbage in August, and had been eating their home-grown product all through the summer and well into November. They used the last of it to make a coleslaw for their extended family during the Thanksgiving feast.
Asked what she enjoyed the most from this experience, Trinity answered, " Eating it..
Each year Bonnie Plants trucks free O.S. Cross, or "oversized," cabbage plants to third grade classrooms whose teachers have signed up for the program online at www.bonnieplants.com. Some of the cabbages have tipped the scales at 40 pounds.

Tax payable on non-qualified investments
The new rules apply to investments acquired after March 22, 2011. They also apply to pre-March 23, 2011 investments that first become non-qualified after March 22, 2011.
An investment that was a non-qualified investment before March 23, 2011 will continue to be subject to the old rules that provided for either an income inclusion with an offsetting deduction or the 1% monthly tax.
If, in a calendar year, an RRSP or RRIF trust acquires property that was a non-qualified investment or if previously acquired property becomes non-qualified, a tax is imposed on the annuitant of an RRSP or a RRIF.
The tax is equal to 50% of the fair market value (FMV) of the property at the time it was acquired or it became non-qualified.
The tax is refundable in certain circumstances. For more information, see Refund of taxes paid on non-qualified or prohibited investments.
The annuitant is also liable for the 100% advantage tax on specified non-qualified investment income if this income is not withdrawn promptly.
Income earned and capital gains realized by an RRSP or RRIF trust on non-qualified investments will continue to be taxable to the trust, regardless of when the investment was acquired. If an investment is both a non-qualified investment and a prohibited investment, it is treated as a prohibited investment only and the trust is not subject to tax on the investment earnings.
An annuitant subject to this tax is required to file Form RC339, Individual Return for Certain Taxes for RRSPs or RRIFs for Tax Year 20__. The return must be filed no later than June 30 of the following year. Any tax owing must also be paid by that date. For payment remittance options, see Make a payment.
Important notice
The Department of Finance extended the deadline for filing Form RC341, Election on Transitional Prohibited Investment Benefit for RRSPs or RRIFs, from June 30, 2012 to March 1, 2013. However, there is no indication at this time that this election will be extended beyond the 2012 tax year. For updates on the extension of the transitional relief election, go to What's new for RRSPs and related plans.
Reporting requirements by the RRSP or RRIF trust
Financial institutions are required to report information to us and the annuitant when an RRSP or RRIF trust begins or ceases to hold a non-qualified investment in a year.
Financial institutions must, by no later than the end of February in the year following the year in which the non-qualified property was acquired or previously acquired property became non-qualified, provide relevant information to us and the annuitant. This information includes:
- a description of the non-qualified investment;
- the date that the non-qualified investment was acquired or disposed of (or became or ceased to be non-qualified), as applicable, and the fair market value of the investment at that date; and
- the RRSP or RRIF contract or account number.
This information is necessary to enable the annuitant to determine the amount of any tax payable or of any possible refund of tax previously paid.
Important notice
The filing due date of the end of February for financial institutions to provide the relevant information to us and the annuitant is extended to May 31, 2013.

Behavior problems in pets are one of the more common reasons for owners to relinquish their companions. Activities such as aggression and anxiety-based behaviors often results in a break down of the bond that exists between pets and people. Our behavior practice is committed to assisting pet owners in re-establishing that bond.
Dr. John Cirabassi, owner of Chicagoland Veterinary Behavior Consultants concentrates primarily on the treatment of behavior difficulties in companion animals (primarily dogs, cats and pet birds). Our goal is to identify problem behaviors and differentiate normal behaviors which are inappropriate for the situation versus abnormal behavior. Diagnosis is based mainly on history, observation of the pet directly or through videotape and any needed laboratory testing (performed either by your veterinarian or at the time of the appointment with our practice.
Typical behaviors which we are presented with include:
- Anxiety related disorders (such as separation anxiety) and phobias (thunderstorm and noise phobias).
- Compulsive Disorders (tail chasing, flank licking, light chasing, etc.).
- Elimination Problems (Housesoiling, marking, litter box issues)
- Aggressive Behaviors of Dogs and Cats
Your pet's diagnosis is based on:
- History/Interview
- Physical Examination
- Laboratory Evaluation
A behavior questionnaire is sent to the pet owner and a veterinary history form forwarded to the veterinarian. These are then returned to our hospital for evaluation prior to the scheduled consult (The owner can contact us at any stage to schedule the appt.)
In addition, Puppy Socialization Classes and Individualized Behavior Modification Sessions (directed by our behavior technician, Pat Rattray) are available.
Treatment plans involve a combination of environmental and behavior modification. At times, judicious use of medication is employed in pets with levels of anxiety which may interfere with learning. Initial consultations last from 1-2 hrs. with follow-up visits (if needed) lasting about an hour.
Non-behavioral procedures will be directed back to your family veterinarian. Follow up letters will be sent promptly to the referring hospital.

Mauritania's new military government has told the country's main political parties that elections would follow a constitutional referendum to be held within a year and that none of its members would stand.
Ahmed Ould Daddah, a top politician who heads the opposition Rally of Democratic Forces, said coup leader Ely Ould Mohamed Vall made the pledge during a meeting on Saturday with heads of more than 30 political parties in the capital, Nouakchott.
"There will be a referendum within a maximum one year, and immediately after that legislative elections," said Ahmed Ould Daddah.
"The military council does not have electoral ambitions, they will have no candidate in the elections," Messaoud Ould Boulkehir, the leader of another opposition party, said.
The military took power in a bloodless coup on Wednesday, ousting President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya as he was out of country.
The aides who toppled Taya say he ran a "totalitarian regime"Opposition parties have backed the coup but say they want to be involved in the decision-making process.
The aides who toppled Taya say he ran a "totalitarian regime"
Taya, who had survived a series of coup attempts during his 21-year rule, was toppled by a group of army officers including some of his closest aides. They accused him of having ruled over a "totalitarian regime".
Taya had angered many Arabs in his homeland, which straddles black and Arab Africa, by establishing diplomatic ties with Israel and becoming a staunch US ally in West Africa.
New era?
He also turned Mauritania into one of the most repressive nations in the region towards Islamist movements, especially after narrowly surviving an attempted coup in 2003.
Scores of politicians and activists had been arrested since.
The United Nations, former colonial power France and the United States have all condemned the coup and the African Union has suspended Mauritania, demanding that Taya be restored to power.
But in the sand-blanketed capital Nouakchott, people took to the streets in jubilation, saying the putsch would usher in a new era of democracy in their country.

Lacey Schwimmer 'Insanely Weak' From Endometriosis
The 'Dancing With the Stars' pro is on medication, won't have surgery
Fellow dancer Lacey Schwimmer was diagnosed Wednesday (Oct. 29) with endometriosis, the same condition that Hough has, reports The Insider.
"Just a few days ago I started feeling very shaky, very weak and I had awful cramps going on, and I didn't really know what was going on," says Schwimmer. "Julianne got sent to the hospital the day I was starting to feel a little weird and then she came back and told everyone what was going on with her."
"I went to go get checked out today and I actually have the beginning onset of what Julianne has, which is endometriosis, and it hurts very bad," admits the dancer. "Right now I'm insanely weak, and the room is spinning."
Fortunately, by catching the onset of the condition so early, Schwimmer has been able to treat it with medication and will hopefully be able to avoid surgery, a procedure that Hough underwent recently to remove her appendix, which was affected by endometriosis. Schwimmer gives an update:
"Julianne is doing great and just had the surgery this morning. She's in bed. She has her boyfriend there. She has her mom, her sisters, her dog, so she's great."
When asked how Schwimmer planned to make it through rehearsals and performances with her weakness, she replied, "I don't even know."
Schwimmer was a finalist on "So You Think You Can Dance" and currently pair with celebrity Lance Bass from boy band *N Sync.

Social Learning Theory and TV Violence
Social Learning Theory and T.V. Violence
By: Don-Ray
DON-RAY TV Violence on Children Introduction In the United States children watch an average of three to fours hours of television daily (Cantor & Wilson, 1984, p. 28). Television can be a powerful influence in developing value systems and shaping behavior. Unfortunately, much of today's television programming is violent. Studies of the effects of TV violence on children and teenagers have found that children may become insensitive to violence. Consequently, they tend to gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems by imitating the violence they observe on television; and they identify with certain characters, good or bad. Therefore, extensive viewing of television violence by children causes greater aggressiveness (Rosenthal, 1986). Time Spent Watching Television Typically, children begin watching television at a very early age, sometimes as early as six months, and are fervent viewers by the time that they are two or three years old (Murray, 1997). The amount of time that American children spend watching TV is remarkable, an average of four hours a day, 28 hours a week, 2,400 hours a year, nearly 18,000 hours by the time they graduate from high school (Chen, 1994, p.23). In comparison, they spend a mere 13,000 hours in school, from kindergarten through twelfth grade (Chen, 1994). It appears children spend more time watching TV than any other activity. Studies have shown that children, in the hours between school and dinnertime, spend nearly 80 percent of the time watching television (Chen, 1994). Children living in poverty watch even more television than average -- some up to seven hours a day. TV Violence on Children By the time a poor child graduates from high school, he or she may have watched as many as 22,000 hours of TV (Chen, 1994). Bandura, (1973) indicates that sometimes, watching a single violent program can increase aggressiveness. Children who watch television shows in which violence is very realistic, frequently repeated or unpunished, are more likely to imitate what they see, ( p.25). Children with emotional, behavioral, or learning problems may be more easily influenced by TV violence (Bandura, 1977). The impact of TV violence may be immediately evident in the child's behavior or may surface later, and young people can even be affected when the family atmosphere shows no tendency toward violence (Cantor & Wilson, 1984). Therefore, while TV violence is not the only cause of aggressive or violent behavior, it is clearly a significant factor. The Good in Television Not all television is bad. There are several excellent programs dedicated to young children. Some programs incorporate entertainment and education to help children learn and identify characters, shapes and colors. Programs such as Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and Sesame Street also help promote good behavior and cooperation. Dr. Ernest Boyer, President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and former US Commissioner of Education, stated: "Television sparks curiosity and opens up distant worlds to children. Through its magic, youngsters can travel to the moon or the bottom of the sea. They can visit castles, take river trips, or explore imaginary lands. . .With selective viewing, television can richly contribute to school readiness." (Chen, p. 122) Unfortunately, most children's programming does not teach children what most parents and teachers want them to learn. TV Violence in Children Preschoolers Preschoolers in the United States, by watching television, "are predisposed to seek out and pay attention to violence, particularly cartoon violence" (Cantor & Wilson, 1984). It is not the violence itself that makes the cartoons attractive to preschoolers, but the vivid images accompanying them. With cartoons, preschoolers are being exposed to a large number of violent acts daily. Furthermore, preschoolers are unlikely to be able to put the violence in context, since they are likely to miss, or not understand, any information concerning motivation and consequences. One study stated, "Preschoolers behave more aggressively than usual in their play after watching any high-action exciting television shows, but especially after watching violent television" (Cantor & Wilson, 1984, p.445). Elementary School Children Elementary school children develop a variety of skills: their attention span and cognitive ability follow continuous plots, they make inferences about implicit content, and they recognize motivations and consequences of peoples' actions. By age eight, children are more likely to be sensitive to important influences on television, they will not become more aggressive if the violence they see is portrayed as evil, as causing human suffering, or as resulting in punishment or disapproval. However, they are likely to show increased aggression from watching violent television if they believe the violence reflects real life, or if they identify with a violent hero, as boys often do, or if they engage in aggressive fantasies (Cantor & Wilson, 1984). TV Violence on Children Elementary school children ages six to eleven still watch cartoons but also begin watching more adult or family-oriented programming than they did when they were younger. They also begin liking horror movies, perhaps deliberately scaring themselves in an attempt to overcome their own fears. However, they might be doing it to numb themselves to fear and violence, and they likely will become more tolerant of violence in the real world (Cantor & Wilson, 1984). Adolescent School Children Adolescent Children ( ages 12 to 17), the middle school to high school years, "children become capable of abstract thought and reasoning, although they rarely use these abilities when watching television" (Dietz, & Strasburger, 1991, p.9). At this level they watch less television than they did when they were younger, and watch less with their families. "Their interests at this age tend to revolve around independence, sex and romance, music videos, and horror movies" (Dietz, & Strasburger, 1991). Adolescents in middle school and high school are much more likely than younger children to doubt the reality of television and much less likely to identify with television characters. The small percentage of those who continue to believe in the reality of television and to identify with its violent heroes are the ones likely to be more aggressive, especially if they continue to fantasize about aggressive-heroic themes (Bandura, 1973). TV Violence on Children Bandura's Views In the book, Social Learning Theory, author Albert Bandura presents his major thesis. He believes in the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others especially in films and television. Bandura believes that learning through modeling is very important and says that "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling that is, from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasion s this coded information serves as a guide for action." (Bandura, 1977, p.22). Social learning theory explains human behavior in terms of continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, an environmental influences. The component processes underlying observational learning are: Attention, Retention, Motor Reproduction, and Reinforcements. In Attention, individuals cannot learn much by observation unless they retain and then act out significant features of the modeled behavior. For example, children must attend to what the aggressor is doing and saying in order to reproduce the model's behavior. The next component is Retention. In order to reproduce the modeled behavior, the individuals must code the information into long-term memory. Therefore, the information will be retrieved. For example, a simple verbal description of what the model performed would be a known as retention. Motor reproduction is another process in observational learning. The observer must be able to reproduce the model's behavior. TV Violence on Children The observer must learn and posses the physical capabilities of the modeled behavior. An example of motor reproduction would to be able to learn how to ski or ride a bike. Once a behavior is learned through attention and retention, the observer must posses the physically capabilities to produce the aggressive act. The final process in observational learning are Reinforcements. In this process, the observer expects to receive positive reinforcements for the modeled behavior. For example, most children witnessed violence on television being rewarded by the media. When individuals, especially children witness this type of media, they attend, code, retrieve, posses the motor capabilities and perform the modeled behavior because of the positive reinforcements determined by the media (Bandura, 1977). According to Bandura, the highest level of observational learning is achieved by first organizing and rehearsing the modeled behavior symbolically and then enacting it out. Also, individuals are more likely to adopt a modeled behavior if it results in outcomes they value, and even more likely, if the model is similar to the observer and has admired status and the behavior has functional value (Bandura, 1977). Bandura strongly believed television was a source of behavior modeling. Bandura has shown that "both children and adults acquire attitudes, emotional responses, and new styles of conduct through filmed and televised modeling" (Bandura, 1977, p.39). Today, films and television shows illustrate violence graphically. Violence is often expressed as an acceptable behavior, especially for heroes who have never been punished. TV Violence on Children Albert Bandura believed aggression reinforced by family members was the most prominent source of behavior modeling. Bandura, in his studies, states that children use the same aggressive tactics that their parents illustrate when dealing with others (Bandura, 1977). The social learning theory states that individuals, especially children, imitate or copy modeled behavior by personally observing others, the environment, and the mass media completely ignores an individuals biological state. Also, the social learning theory rejects differences formed in individuals that are due to genetic, brain, and learning differences. For example, if a child witnessed a crime or a murder, he or she might respond in a variety of ways. Biological psychologists believe that the responses would be normal and they come from the autonomic nervous system. In addition, the social learning theory rejects the classical and operant conditioning processes. Television Violence as a Problem In the world today, media violence is a big problem. It might often times go unnoticed, but it's there. When children watch television, they are probably witnessing some form of violence. Because television violence is produced in such an action packed form they see through the negativity of it. Also, television teaches children that they can solve their problems by using violence. In many television shows aimed towards children, such as the "Power Rangers", they portray the good characters having to resort to violence in able to defeat the bad characters. Children view the Power Rangers as heroes, saving the world from aliens and other bad guys. TV Violence on Children Children who watch this show may presume that the Power Rangers use violence to prevent bad things, why can they not use it to prevent problems in everyday life. Looney Tunes is another good example. Falling off cliffs and shooting people is typical in one half-hour program. A personal example of the influence television violence has on children occurred to me over the summer when I visited my girlfriend's younger cousin. As I walked into the house I was attacked and kicked in the leg by this 5-year-old boy. I asked him what his reason was for kicking me and he told said that he was a Ninja defending the world from the Hagars, and I was a Hagar. Television Violence Perceived by Children Television violence affects children's' thoughts, actions, and the way they live. Rarely are the long-term consequences of violence portrayed on television. The results of real-life violence usually involve someone going to jail, the hospital, or even the grave. Television violence is usually clean with little blood, pain, or suffering. On TV, it seems criminals go unpunished most of the time. This gives children the message that violence is a successful method of resolving conflicts. Also, it appears that half the time violent interactions on television depict no harm to the victims. Consequently, television teaches children that it is alright to hurt others as long as it is for the right reasons. Children perceive everything that happens on television as real. Therefore, when violence is portrayed as heroic, children tend to imitate the action to gain heroic recognition. TV Violence on Children Solutions to Television Violence Several solutions might be taken to prevent such negative modeling to occur. One could be that television stations release a special broadcast before and after a show stating the non-reality of the show. Another solution television could use is to remind children there are alternatives to deal with problems, such as compromising. A final solution could be a special program implemented in schools that teaches children about media violence. None of these solutions will eliminate media violence, but it might educate children, as well as parents, in the false perception of television Conclusion In conclusion, there have been many debates over whether or not violence on television causes aggressive behavior in children. For instances some studies show that children view cartoons such as Elmer Fudd shooting the rabbit as funny and humorous and it is the parents' responsibility to inform their children that the cartoons are not real. It appears television is a form of education and positive role models. If violence in television and film cause people to be more violent, then shouldn't the good formed in television result in an audience that is pleasant? Despite the criticisms, Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory should be seen as important in the study and influences of aggression and criminal behavior formed in this. In order to control aggression, Bandura believed family members and the mass media should provide positive role models for their children and the general public (Bandura, 1977). I believe that aggression modeled by children from watching television could be curbed when more of the influential adults in children's lives are involved. TV Violence on Children Caring parents and the community would increase its effectiveness because it is at home that children watch the majority of television. Personally, I feel that the adults are to be given the majority of the blame for what is happening to our children today as a result of this media craze. As an adult, it is our duty to protect those who are unable to protect themselves. This goes for children that our directly related to us, and those children whom are not. The reason violence is so prevalent in television is because it is a good tool to attract viewers. No government regulations are powerful enough to completely eliminate acts of violence from television. What these parents and other concerned adults should do is channel that energy into areas, such as commercials and school programming, that will help educate children in understanding that what they see is not always reality or the right way of doing things. However, in order for this to effectively work, the parents of today also need to be equally educated. References Bandura, A. 1973. Aggression: A Social Learning Analysis.

Play is freely chosen, intrinsically motivated and personally directed.
It's a valuable expression of life, and can be all too easily undervalued by adult culture as we fall into time constraints with career pursuits. But the opposite of Play is not Work, it's Depression.
Adult culture demands elaborate rituals to justify Play. These elaborate rituals sometimes express themselves though commercial ventures that create so much procedure, that the freely chosen and personally directed elements are diluted, or eliminated entirely.
Burn BC embraces and respects the playful spirit, and fosters the creativity that goes with it. It's a core theme in many of our projects, and leads us to amazing, ephemeral, and unexpected experiences. We celebrate by playing with Art, Music, Dance, Performance Art and collaborative projects.
While some of the themes that contributing artists and event participants explore have very serious and even highly profound undertones, by letting loose our ideas (profound and superficial) we can play with them on a journey through self-discovery. With unmediated self-discovery we find our personal identities and share them openly with each other and our community.
Play needs no justification, but if you are looking for it, please watch this wonderful TED talk.

Friday Group Ride #45
The seven-day, 600-mile long Quizno's Pro Challenge has already landed the honorific of "the greatest bike race ever held on American soil from August 22-28, 2011." True enough. After all, the 1996 edition of the Tour DuPont, which was 1225-miles long, was held in May. Nevermind about the 18-stage edition of the Coor's Classic held in 1986 which was won by Bernard Hinault and was held in … August, though obviously not running from August 22-28.
We don't know a lot about the Quizno's Pro Challenge just yet. Aside from seven stages encompassing 600 miles of racing, we've been told it will feature a prologue and one individual time trial plus several mountainous stages, and just one stage suited to sprinters.
If the 2011 Giro d'Italia is any indication, stage race organizers may be starting to think about what makes for exciting racing to the viewing public. Mountain racing is exciting, whether you are watching in person or on TV. And whether you're at the top of the climb or 5km from the top, it's still exciting to watch. Contrast that with watching a crit two corners from the finish. Yes, watching a pack fly by at 36 mph is pretty cool, but you almost never have the feeling that you've watched a win in the happening. Worse, watching a crit on TV is rarely as good as a trailer-park fight on an episode of COPS.
The chance to watch 120 PROs tackle the mountains of Colorado is a siren call to any roadie. As sure bets go, it seems likely that some folks who would have traveled to see the Amgen Tour of California will, instead, head to Denver to take in some stages of this new race.
And that, dear friends, begs the question: What gets you out to watch bike racing? Have you ever built a vacation around going to watch a bike race, be it the Tour de France, the Amgen Tour of California or the Hell of the North? Further, to the degree that you would consider attending either the Amgen or Quizno's races, which would you go to … and why?

FGR #17 Wrap
Was it thrilling? Were you thrilled? Were you surprised to see Cancellara ride away with the race for the second weekend running? Were you pulling for Tommeke to reel the big Swiss back in? Did you think Hincapie was going to make something of his good mid-race position? Was Pozzato disappointing? What of Flecha and Hushovd, who seemed to wait for the Champion of Belgium to ride himself out in the chase, before dropping him in advance of the velodrome?
From my perspective, this year's Paris-Roubaix was a bit of a let down. I successfully avoided learning the results all day in anticipation of the Versus coverage with Liggett and Sherwen (It's the curse of residing on this side of the Atlantic that you can't see these great races live), and then plopped myself down on the couch after reading my boys some rivetting bedtime stories about bears and mice having tea together, only to witness a decidedly subdued Hell of the North.
The French police barred spectators from drinking in the Arenberg Forest (above), and so there were far fewer at cobble-side, and thus less crashes. In fact, this version of the Queen of the Classics was just too short of mayhem for my tastes, an opinion not at all backed up by the fact that 85 riders had DNF next to their names at the end of the day.
The favorites rode to the front and stayed there. The usual attrition, the pummeling of the pavé, thinned the race down. And then Fabian Cancellara crushed the rest of the strong men, who scrabbled around in his dust, literally, leaving Tom Boonen alone to put up a fight. Quite how the nine of them couldn't conjure any sort of meaningful paceline to at least limit their losses underlines how much stronger Cancellara was, physically AND mentally.
This was another aspect I found disappointing, the lack of fight from the guys who were supposed to fight.
After the race, as I noted in comments, Saxo Bank owner/manager Bjarne Riis took credit for his rider's race-winning move. Apparently he commanded his giant Swiss-bot to attack at just the moment he saw Boonen napping at the back of the group. I'd pay 100 Francs to sit next to Bernhard Hinault while he read that interview and then went off on a profanity-laced tirade about modern riders all being a bunch of gigolos attached to Game Boys, but I'm like that. I love the drama. And badgers.
Getting to our little prediction contest…what's wrong with you guys? You came up with really every permutation of Cancellara, Flecha, Hushovd, Boonen, Hincapie, etc., etc., et. al., PhD, MBA, PDQ, EXCEPT the right one. How did you do that? Well, now you know how Tom Boonen feels. Good effort, but no prize.

The Boonen Prototype
In 2007, when Specialized began sponsoring the Quick Step team, company representatives showed up at a winter training camp for the team with bikes for each and every rider. In the case of some riders, they actually showed up with two bikes if the size of their previous Time bike didn't translate exactly to the Specialized bike.
In Tom Boonen's case, the company came equipped with both a 58 and a 61 Tarmac. The 61 had the top tube length Boonen needed, but the head tube, he determined was too long. He couldn't achieve the more than 10cm drop from the saddle to the handlebar with the 61; the bar was just too high. So Specialized left him with the 58cm frame and made a custom stem for him at their Morgan Hill fabrication shop. While no one has said exactly how long the stem was, indications are it was 15cm in length.
The season started … and so did Boonen's back troubles. The PR fallout for Specialized didn't seem too bad, unless you searched the message boards, and on those they were being murdered. Ditto for the talk on group rides.
With Boonen's results suffering Specialized undertook a radical solution; working from the fit measurements of his previous Time, they recreated his fit exactly by building him a custom Tarmac and later a custom Roubaix from aluminum.
And yet the criticism of Specialized continued. Riders wondered why they weren't building custom carbon bikes for Boonen. In fact, they were, but they wanted to make sure he was happy with the fit before they spent in excess of $25k cutting a mold. Those who have watched "This Old House" are familiar with the maxim, "Measure twice, cut once."
As fate would have it, Boonen's bike is just enough of a tweener size that the company has considered adding it to their size range.
The bike pictured here is the prototype Roubaix built for the three-time winner. While I haven't heard definitively, I suspect Columbus Airplane (not Starship) tubing was used, given the bike's weight and stiffness.
It's a big bike by any standard. The top tube is 59cm on horizontal. The stem is 14cm and the bar is 44cm (center-to-center); both are aluminum. Reach from the nose of the saddle to the center of the stem is a whopping 63cm thanks to the 10.5cm drop from the saddle to the bar. And it is unmistakably a Roubaix thanks to the 42.5cm chainstays and the 60cm front-center. Saddle height is 80cm and his crank length is 177.5mm, naturally. With 25mm tubulars, the bottom bracket height would have been 27cm.
There's a ding in the top tube from a hit and scratches along the left side of the downtube, signs of battle damage from the Hell of the North. Since it's creation the bike has been with either Quick Step or Specialized; this is its first trip away from the Specialized HQ since coming back to the states. One other curious detail, as per the request of some team riders, this bike uses a Time fork painted to match rather than the Roubaix fork.

September 11, 2011 will mark ten years since the tragedy of 9/11. The event took the lives of many and shook the consciousness of our nation and world.[i] The world will never forget the loss of life, nor the images of unity and heroic selflessness that became a sign of peace, and hope for a better world that day.
Unfortunately over the past ten years, the memory of 9/11 has been used by some not to bolster hope and unity, but rather to foster disunity and even violence, particularly directed toward Islam and the Muslim community. Just in the past year there have been unconscionable actions directed toward this community including threats of Qur'an burnings and Congressional hearings on the "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response."[ii] Many people are concerned that this tenth anniversary of 9/11 could bring with it further examples of hostility directed toward Muslims in our community.
In response to these events, and in keeping with the UCC's stance against religious-based hostility, the UCC's 28th General Synod passed a resolution in July calling on the United Church of Christ "To Counter Actions of Hostility Against Islam and the Muslim Community." The resolution calls all settings of the church to express support for Muslim neighbors, learn more about Islam, and publicly denounce any violence against this community and deplore other forms of racially or religiously-based violence, hatred, or actions.
Rev. Geoffrey Black and members of the Collegium have written reflections on 9/11 which are posted on a UCC website titled "9/11 Plus 10: Beyond Memory and Hope." This site includes links to worship materials, ecumenical and interfaith initiatives, and events to be held in communities across the country. The page was compiled for use by individuals and churches seeking to mark the tenth anniversary. As members of the UCC and as people of faith, we are called on this anniversary of 9/11 to reflect and act in ways that move us "beyond memory and hope." One way to do this is to respond to the call of our General Synod resolution and take an active step in speaking out against religiously and racially motivated hatred and violence in your community. Reflect: Visit the UCC website "Beyond Memory and Hope: 9/11 Plus 10" and read messages by Rev. Geoffrey Black, members of the Collegium, and other resources.
1) If you are a Facebook or Twitter user, post Facebook status updates and Twitter tweets on 9/11 that reflect hospitality, not hostility, toward the Muslim community in keeping with the General Synod Resolution "To Counter Actions of Hostility Against Islam and the Muslim Community." Example:
"On this 10th anniversary of 9/11, I commit to working and praying for a world in which all are welcomed, valued, mourned, and celebrated. I rejoice in the diversity of our nation and affirm my Muslim neighbors."
You can get other ideas by following Justice and Witness Ministries @justice_UCC or www.facebook.com/JusticeAndWitnessMinistries.
2) Want to do more? Consider writing a Letter to the Editor of your local paper. We have talking points and tools to make it easy to connect with your local press outlets. Send one now, it only takes a few minutes!
3) Attend local 9/11 commemoration and interfaith events in your local community and encourage family and friends to attend. Several large events are planned for New York and Washington DC. The Rev. Geoffrey Black will speak at an interfaith memorial in Washington sponsored by the Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign. Additionally, President Obama has issued a call to community service under the banner of the "United We Serve" campaign.
4) SPREAD THE WORD…share this alert!

Shawcross pens new Potters deal
Shawcross pens new Potters deal
by PA Sport

, read by 1,218 people
Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross has committed his future to the Potters by agreeing a new five-and-a-half-year contract.
The 25-year-old has been one of Stoke's biggest assets in their four-and-a-half seasons in the Barclays Premier League and manager Tony Pulis was desperate to tie him to a new deal.
Pulis said: "It's fantastic for us as a football club. We're really, really pleased to have him. He's been the bedrock of what we've been trying to do over the past five or six years and we're really pleased that he's finally agreed."
