Volunteer at the Flying Kites Children's Home and School, Kenya
The ambassadorship offers a diverse learning experience through advocacy, fundraising, and time living in Kenya. Participants are given the opportunity to help others, practice professionalism, cultivate an understanding of hardships Flying Kites and related organizations encounter, and play an important role in the groundbreaking process that provides care for impoverished children and increases the well-being of a community in Kenya.
In addition to fundraising and in-field experience, the Ambassador Program encourages continued advocacy and interaction with Flying Kites and issues facing Kenyans. Advocacy campaigns can range from speeches and presentations to auctions and film screenings all to support the work of Flying Kites and spread the word.
Alumni Interviews
Chase Klingel is from Spokane, WA. He is a Freshman at the University of Washington. He is 19 years old and loves to cook, play sports and experience new things in life! He volunteered with Flying Kites from June 16 to July 22, 2012.
GO: Why did you decide to volunteer with Flying Kites in Kenya?
Chase: The reason I decided to go abroad and volunteer at Flying Kites was because I knew there was a chance for me to give back. I have been so blessed my entire life and I knew that if I had the opportunity to impact a child's life who had grown up with less than me, I had to take it!
GO: Describe your day to day activities as a volunteer.
Chase: My day to day activities consisted of waking up at about eight am, heading to the school and tutoring for three hours (9:00-12:00). During these three hours I would tutor three different children in math, science, or English. These were some of my favorite memories because you really get to know your students. After school I would play soccer or jump rope with the children and then after dinner I would help them study. I could also never forget helping cook with auntie Rebeccs! You must do that if you go!
Lastly, the nice thing about Flying Kites is that you CAN explore! You aren't forced to stay at the orphanage so you can go check out places like Nairobi, Mombasa etc. if you need a break. I highly suggest exploring around but make sure you spend time at the orphanage getting to know the children. That's always priority number one!
GO: What made this experience unique and special?
Chase: The reason Flying Kites was such a special experience was because its not an orphanage at all. Within the first 24 hours of being there, you aren't a stranger from America. You are just another fun loving member of this incredibly humble family!
GO: How has this experience impacted your future?
Chase: Personally, this experience taught me the meaning of love. Yes, this sounds cliche but it is true. I of course knew what love was beforehand, but it was astonishing to see children who never knew their parents and yet they still acted like they lived the lives of rock stars! This family showed me that having material goods can't give you the ultimate happiness, only expressing and sharing in genuine love can.
Abby Gross is from Piedmont, California. She is currently a Junior at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., majoring in Environmental Studies and minoring in Public Health. Abby was in Kenya from May 2012 to August 2012.
GO: Why did you decide to volunteer with Flying Kites in Kenya?
Abby: I chose to work with Flying Kites because I wanted to work with a organization that I knew is making a true and positive sustainable change, and that's exactly what Flying Kites is doing.
GO: What made this experience unique and special?
Abby: Unlike many other organizations that are purely based around volunteers coming to take care of the children, Flying kites is home, and to go there you become part of the family. Flying Kites is extremely well organized and the children they take care of there will not only become important people in Kenya, they will become important people of the world. I knew I wanted to work with Flying Kites because I knew and still know they are making a true difference.
GO: How has this experience impacted your future?
Abby: Since working at Flying Kites I feel as though I am a more well-rounded person. Working there has made more globally aware, and more self aware. I feel like I now better know who I am and that I have purpose. In classes at school I am able to make connections to my trip and understand concepts better than anyone else because of my experience.

PARKERSBURG - Senior righthander Brad Brubaker struck out seven in the first four innings Tuesday night and Parkersburg South scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a 5-1 lead that held up for a baseball win over visiting University when the game was stopped by lightning after the top of the fifth frame and never resumed again at Hank Greenburg Field.
The Patriots, improving to 12-6 on the season, had forged a 2-0 lead through three innings, despite having only one hit to the Hawks' five.
In the second, Hunter Hamilton singled with one out, stole second and went to third on a throwing error on the play, and scored when Tyler Berry delivered a sacrifice fly to center field.

Parkersburg South's Jordan Braniff slides safely home as University's Colton Sanders leaps over him Tuesday during their game at Hank Greenburg Field.
The third saw another South tally as Wes Mitchem drew a leadoff walk and Clay Walters - playing his first game since being hit in the jaw by a bad-hop ground ball on April 3 - sacrificed Mitchem to second, from where he scored on Jacob Wilcox's ground ball right through shortstop for an error.
Meanwhile, Brubaker wriggled off a one-out, bases-loaded hook in the second with back-to-back whiffs and then was bailed out of a one-out, two-on jam by a nifty 4-6-3 double play in the top of the third. He did, though, surrender a run in the fourth on Jacob Hart's double followed by Colton Sanders' RBI single.
But in the last of the fourth, the Patriots plated a decisive three-spot. Jordan Braniff led off with a single to center and continued on to second on an error when the ball was misplayed in the outfield, and scored on two wild pitches. Hamilton walked, stole second and scored when Berry dropped an RBI single into left field. Berry then stole second snd scored on two groundouts to short.
After Brubaker retired University (6-9) in order in the top of the fifth, lightning halted play for a half-hour before the game was called.
''Brad threw the ball well - had only 64 pitches,'' said South head coach Matt Null about Brubaker's mound effort. ''When he kept the ball down, that led to his strikeouts.''
A senior, Walters started at shortstop Tuesday - two weeks after having ''four or five teeth displaced,'' said Null, by the batted ball that ''caught him in the jaw, and also drove a couple teeth through his lip.''
But Tuesday, Walters ''was cleared to play with a protective mask,''said Null. ''He's a tough kid.''

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Hartford police have linked a recent shooting to the 2009 stabbing death of UConn football player Jasper Howard.
WVIT-TV reports police have charged 24-year-old Rasheem Grimes with assault in the Nov. 4 shooting of Hakim Muhammad. Muhammad had recently been released from prison after serving time on charges stemming from the fight that led to Howard's death.
Police say Grimes is the brother of John Lomax III, the man who stabbed Howard and was upset that Muhammad had cooperated with police.
A group of football players, including Howard, squared off with Lomax, Muhammad and others after a school-sponsored dance on Oct. 18, 2009. Prosecutors say Lomax and Muhammad went to a car and came back with knives.
Howard, of Miami, Fla., was fatally stabbed in the abdomen.
It's not immediately known if Grimes has a lawyer.

Hunters enjoyed great weather as they harvested 86,964 white-tailed deer during Ohio's traditional weeklong deer-gun season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.
The harvest yielded an anticipated slight decrease of 3.7 percent from 2011, when 90,282 deer were checked.
"The traditional deer-gun week is enjoyed by thousands annually, and this year was no exception," ODNR Director James Zehringer said. "Ohio's healthy deer population offers a great source of outdoor recreation to many Ohio residents and out-of-state hunters."
Counties reporting the highest numbers of deer checked during the 2012 gun season: Coshocton (3,119), Muskingum (2,927), Tuscarawas (2,860), Guernsey (2,620), Harrison (2,370), Licking (2,271), Washington (2,163), Knox (2,159), Belmont (2,127) and Carroll (2,062). The order of the top six counties remained unchanged from last year.
Ohio's weeklong gun season was Nov. 26-Dec. 2. Hunters still have one weekend of deer-gun hunting, Dec. 15-16, and archery season remains open through Feb. 3, 2013. The statewide deer-muzzleloader season is Jan. 5-8, 2013.
The white-tailed deer is the most popular game animal in Ohio, frequently pursued by generations of hunters. Ohio ranks eighth nationally in annual hunting-related sales and 10th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has an $859 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more.
More information about Ohio deer hunting can be found in the 2012-2013 Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at www.wildohio.com. Hunters can also share photos by clicking on the Photo Gallery tab online.
Hunters must still report their deer harvest, but they are no longer required to take their deer to a check station for physical inspection. Hunters have three options to complete the automated game check:
A. Online at wildohio.com.
B. By telephone at 877-TAG-ITOH (824-4864). This option is only available to those required to have a deer permit to hunt deer.
C. At all license agents. A list of these agents can be found at wildohio.com, or by calling 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543).
Ohio's first modern day deer-gun season opened in 1943 in three counties, and hunters harvested 168 deer. Deer hunting was allowed in all 88 counties in 1956, and

Tori Mathia scores again
Vince and Tori (Victoria) Mathia set out early Monday, Nov. 26, 2012, morning and made it to Tori's tree stand just as it was getting light. It was a cold morning with and about an inch of snow had fallen making it easy to see through the woods. Vince had spent several hours the weekend before clearing shooting lanes in front of the stand so Tori would have a clear shot come opening day. Hopefully setting the stage for a successful hunt.
Hey, a doe, wait, a buck!
As they were sitting there waiting for the break of day they could hear a few shots off in the distance. Around 8 a.m. Vince noticed a doe walking through the woods about 150 yards away and told Tori to get ready. As she started looking at the doe they noticed a huge buck walking several yards behind the doe. They grunted and bleated in an effort to stop the big guy and get him to come their way. He stopped several times and looked but would not leave the doe.
Parental sacrifices
Vince told Tori that it was just too far for her 20 gauge to shoot but his 12 gauge could reach out and touch him easily. As Vince raised his gun he saw two twigs out at about 100 yards between him and the buck. The buck was huge and one of the biggest he had seen in a while. Typically, he would not have hesitated but he started thinking that if he shot, Tori's morning hunt would be done and as it were she couldn't hunt again until Saturday. Not wanting to take a shot that might get deflected, and worse yet, end Tori's best chance at getting a deer, Vince decided to let the buck pass.
High hopes
To keep her hopes high they talked about how great a day it already had been (heck it was only 8 in the morning!) and how lucky they were to have seen such a magnificent buck. About 10 to 15 minutes went by and Vince saw a deer coming in from behind them. As it approached they noticed it was a nice buck! Here we go again!
A second chance
He told Tori to set up on the right hand side of the 2-person tree stand hoping that the deer would hit the four wheeler path and follow it straight to them. Unfortunately, the buck was walking straight, not taking the path and ended up behind the stand. Tori whispered to Vince that she had to stand up to get her gun out the back of the stand, he told her to go for it but to move slowly.
She had trouble getting the gun around his safety harness tether and may have made a little too much movement. Suddenly, the buck looked up, got spooked, and jumped back a few steps. He stood there motionless for a few seconds, decided it was nothing and continued he quest, whew!
Hey, I'm not ready!
As her bruiser got closer, Vince grunted to stop him, unknowingly ignorant to the fact that Tori was not ready to shoot. Nonetheless she collected herself and squeezed off a shot. They both watched as the buck dropped his head and ran off out of sight in an erratic manner. Hopefully, a good sign that he shot would be a fatal one.
Deer tracks everywhere
After a short wait they get down from their lofty perch and started to look for blood…NONE!!! To make it worse there were deer tracks everywhere in the snow and they couldn't figure out which ones were the bucks. They both scoured the area to no avail, nothing, no blood anywhere. They started a grid search though the woods but after about 45 minutes Vince decided to try a different approach.
Start from the beginning
Vince told Tori to follow the path back to her stand and stay there until he got back, he would follow shortly after. Once they got back to the stand Vince had Tori show him exactly where the buck was when she shot. Vince put his orange hat at the spot and started over.
He noticed he was right next to the path he thought the deer would walk down. Out of sheer happenstance Vince went to the path and there was a set of tracks from a running deer! He followed the tracks about 200 yards and there was Tori's buck, piled up in the brush at the end of the path that Tori had just walked down. Vice called for Tori and told her to meet him at the end of the trail.
Needless to say, she was a very happy hunter! This is Tori's second buck.
Tori's stats
Fourteen-year-old Tori (Victoria) Mathia who attends Joseph Badger in Kinsman where she is a freshman harvested her buck on Nov. 26, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. while hunting with her father Vince in Kinsman Ohio. Her buck was at 50 yards when she shot it and it went 200 more before expiring.
Tori was using a 20 gauge Remington 870 pump action shotgun powered by Remington Premier 2 3/4-inch copper solid slugs. Her and dad Vince were hunting from a double ladder stand with camo siding and roof 15 feet high. Her trophy had a 9-point rack and field dress in at around 150 pounds. This is Tori's second buck since she's started hunting.
Jess Bianco's bruiser
I quote my friend Jess Bianco, "Here ya go Dale. No good story to go with it. I was just stalking / still-hunting and happened to come across him. Pure luck on this one lol."
Sometimes, that's the way it happens, folks. Ya know how it is when yer in the right place at the right time. Well, this time, Jess was in the right place and definitely there at the right time.
Jess' stats
Jess Bianco harvested his bruiser at 10 a.m. on Nov. 24, 2012 while hunting in Ravenna Arsenal. He was packing a Remington 870 12guage pushing out Federal 3" Barnes expander sabots, topped with a Nikon 3x9 scope.
His bruiser was at 100 yards and went another 400 before dropping. Jess was stalk hunting while wearing Mossy Oak Breakup and the prescribed amount of hunter orange.
He was using Hunters Specialties Fresh Earth Scent Wafers and Buck Bomb as cover scent and attractant. His buck weighed n at 150 pounds and sported a 10-point rack that scored 135 5/8 with 10 6/8 deductions.
Remember, pass it on or it will surely pass on.

Get inspired by these real women who lost weight and kept it off, and learn their most effective diet tips and exercise advice.
By Allison Baker, Megan Bingham and Caren Oppenheim
Name: Bonnie Rutherford
Home: Riner, Virginia
Age: 40
Height: 5'9"
Previous Weight: 302 pounds
Current Weight: 160 pounds
Pounds Lost: 142 pounds
How I Lost It
I booked a once-in-a-lifetime trip to France in 2009 that I wanted to be fit enough to enjoy. So I became a team captain for a wellness competition at my job that encouraged eating more produce and working out. I also started logging my meals and activity on SparkPeople.com. After six months, I'd lost 70 pounds.
Buddying up for exercise changed everything. I'd walk with a friend, take Zumba classes and meet with a trainer every two months. Once his workout became too easy, we'd meet so he could show me a new one. Now I plan to start training for a marathon.
I never order out with my coworkers. I pack lunch, like a chicken sandwich on whole wheat and high-fiber cereal mixed into Greek yogurt. Dinner is salmon or a Boca burger with whole wheat pasta and veggies. Breakfast is high in protein, like eggs.
Don't let a bad day lead to a bad week or month. If you slip up on an exercise or diet plan, you can always turn things around.

International Nuclear Officials Discuss IAEA Peer Reviews of Nuclear Safety Regulations
28 October 2011
The IRRS programme is an international peer review service offered by the IAEA to its Member States to provide an objective evaluation of their nuclear safety regulatory framework. The review is based on the internationally recognized IAEA Safety Standards.
"The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission was pleased to host the IAEA's IRRS meeting this week. The discussions over the past three days have provided an important opportunity for regulators from many countries to come together to strengthen the international peer review process," said U.S. NRC Chairman Gregory B. Jaczko. "Especially after the Fukushima Daiichi accident, the global community recognizes that IRRS missions fill a vital role in strengthening nuclear safety and security programs around the world, and we are proud to be a part of this important effort."
The IAEA Action Plan on Nuclear Safety1/ includes actions focused towards strengthening the existing IAEA peer reviews, incorporating lessons learned and improving their effectiveness. The workshop provided a platform for the exchange of information, experience and lessons learned from the IRRS missions, as well as expectations for the IRRS programme for the near future. Further improvements in the planning and implementation of the IRRS missions in the longer term were discussed. A strong commitment of all relevant national authorities to the IRRS programme was identified as a key element of an effective regulatory framework.
The conclusions of the workshop will be issued in November 2011 and the main results will be reported to the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in November.
"The strong support expressed by senior regulators for the IAEA peer reviews of the nuclear regulatory framework and their concrete proposals for improvement will contribute significantly to the effective implementation of the IAEA Nuclear Safety Action Plan," said Denis Flory, IAEA Deputy Director General for Nuclear Safety and Security. "There was a general recognition that these peer reviews provide national nuclear regulators with an objective view of their strengths and weaknesses and contribute to the continuous strengthening of nuclear safety."
IRRS missions are designed to strengthen and enhance the effectiveness of the national nuclear regulatory infrastructure of States, while recognizing the ultimate responsibility of each State to ensure safety in this area. The reviews are invited by individual Member States, who undergo a rigorous self-assessment in advance of the mission. In accordance with the approved IAEA Nuclear Safety Action Plan the host nations are encouraged to invite a follow-up mission within 3 years.
Nineteen nations have hosted IRRS reviews since the service became available in 2006, and there have been two lessons-learned workshops, in 2007 and 2008.
The IRRS reviews consider regulatory, technical and policy issues, with comparisons against IAEA Safety Standards and, where appropriate, good practices elsewhere.
During an IRRS mission, recommendations and suggestions are offered to the host country. Recommendations are related to items of direct relevance to safety as referenced in IAEA Safety Requirements, while suggestions relate to items not essential to compliance with international standards, but which might enhance the effectiveness of the national nuclear and radiation safety regime and/or improve the organization or performance of the regulatory body. Commendable good practices may be identified and documented for consideration by other States.

In Brookline, raid at service station rattles neighbors
(Pat Greenhouse/Globe Staff)
BROOKLINE -- The FBI operation caused a stir in Brookline today, shattering the calm of a routine Thursday morning.
The operation at a Mobil station near Coolidge Corner, which began around 6 a.m., was part of the investigation into the failed Times Square bombing on May 1.
Laurisa Sellers, 59, who lives in the area, was walking down Harvard Street to meet a friend when she saw the police and FBI activity at 198 Harvard St., near the United Parish Church.
"Of course nobody wants to live close to these things," Seller said about the possibility of a connection to the New York bomb plot. "In this day and age, we all have to be very careful. ... But you can't live in an urban area and live in fear.''
Agents removed several boxes of material taken from repair bays and placed them in one of the authorities' vehicles. Authorities spent a lot of time inspecting a silver Honda, which was parked at the gas station, and appeared to remove some items from that vehicle.
Around 10:40 a.m., Elias Audy, the owner of this Harvard Street station and active in Brookline civic affairs, left the premises, along with a woman. They waved off more than a dozen reporters following them down Harvard Street, declining comment.
The pair ultimately entered a car more than several blocks away, and Audy, as he entered the car, told a Globe reporter, "When the time comes, I'll talk," said Audy, who also owns another gas station at Route 9 and Cypress St., which was visited by authorities today but which remained open.
Around 11:15 a.m., a tall man with gray hair, who had been talking with law enforcement authorities at the Harvard Street station, left to retrieve his orange SUV with dealer plates, which was parked on nearby Marion Street. When asked why he was being questioned, he replied, "I have nothing to do with this."
He ultimately drove his SUV from Marion Street onto the gas station plaza, and talked a bit more with authorities. He later drove away in the vehicle, along with a male passenger.
Agents from the FBI and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, joined by Brookline police, finished their work by 11:45 a.m. The silver Honda, which was heavily inspected by the FBI, remained at the gas station, which remained closed this afternoon.
Authorities did not appear to take anyone at the site into custody.
At the station, two large American flags fluttered on a silver pole in front of the building. The gas station, located between a senior citizen complex and the church, is popular among residents for its large plaza with multiple gas pumps as well as its annual car inspections. Inside the office, community service awards lined a wall.
Along the front window was a taped citation saying the station had helped secure $500 grants for two local schools through the Mobile Corp. Audy is also active with the local Rotary Club.
According to a website for his used-car dealership, Cypress Automart, Audy describes himself as a native of Lebanon who came to the United States at age 19 to study at the University of Houston in Texas, and then Northeastern University. It says Audy's "right hand" in his business in Omar Audy, one of his two sons.
The website indicates he has a staff of about 30 employees among his two Mobil stations and his car dealership.
Shirley MacPherson, president of the Brookline Rotary Club, said she has known Elias Audy for "a very long time" and was proud to call him a friend. She said Audy, a former president of the Rotary Club, has run the highly reputable business for years.
"Elias Audy is one of the kindest people I've ever known," she said when reached by telephone.
Howard Kranz lives on the sixth floor of the John W. Kickham Apartments, next door to the gas station.
Kranz said he left his building at 9:15 this morning and saw an FBI agent in the lot. He assumed the situation might have something to do with terrorism.
"I used to go into that place a lot for lottery tickets," Kranz said. "The people were very openly cordial and friendly. But the issue is what their real sentiments were. ..We don't have the luxury of being foolish or reckless in this country anymore."
Willa Macallen, who lives at the elderly housing complex next to the station, said many senior citizens in her building like to visit the Mobil station to buy snacks. She said they cannot walk far, so the station is convenient. She wonders if this FBI visit of the station will hurt the gas station's image in the community.
"I worry they'll lose business," she said.
After the yellow tape was removed and the FBI left, Brookline Police Chief Daniel O'Leary, who was on the scene, would not comment on the investigation. But he stressed that Brookline remains a safe place.
"This is not targeting Brookline," he said of the operation.

EDMONTON - As at least 500 people rallied on the steps of the Alberta legislature Thursday, the head of the province's largest union promised a legal fight against two new bills that would impose a wage agreement and heavy fines for wildcat strikes.
Unions and opposition critics slammed the Redford government this week after it introduced Bills 45 and 46 with little warning, spurring protests outside the legislature for two days in a row. About 150 people rallied Wednesday and a day later that numbered swelled, with hundreds of union workers carrying signs and flags, chanting "Shame!" and demanding the government scrap the proposed legislation.
Bill 46, the Public Service Salary Restraint Act, applies only to ongoing contract negotiations between the province and the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees and sets a Jan. 31, 2014 deadline for an agreement.
If a settlement isn't reached by then, the bill would impose a four-year deal that includes no pay increases for the first two years and a one-per-cent increase in each of the following years, plus an $875 lump-sum payout in Year 2.
Guy Smith, president of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, said the labour group will use every means it has to challenge the legislation.
"We believe this legislation violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which protects free collective bargaining. ... We also believe it constitutes bargaining in bad faith, so we'll make complaints at the labour board," Smith said.
Those processes could take months or years and in the meantime the new legislation would force a deal, he said.
"Regardless of how much we negotiate, what's in the legislation is the deal, when it comes to salaries," Smith said. He said the union, which represents 22,000 front-line government workers, won't continue negotiating with the province once the bill is passed.
"Why give credence or any sense of legitimacy to what we believe is an illegitimate process," Smith asked.
The union has been without a collective agreement since March and leaders have been seeking a two-year deal with three-per-cent increases in each year. Negotiations and mediation failed earlier this year, prompting the union to apply for mandatory arbitration, a process established in existing legislation.
Bill 46 would remove the arbitration option for this round of negotiations.
"This is something that even Margaret Thatcher would not have done," NDP leader Brian Mason said Thursday. "To just short -circuit an arbitration process that hasn't even begun and just impose a settlement directly through legislation is unheard of."
Premier Alison Redford defended the legislation during question period Thursday.
"Whether they are people in public sector unions or private unions or not in unions, we think it's important that they be valued and compensated fairly," Redford said. "That's why we have asked for the AUPE to come to the table and to continue to bargain until the end of January so that we can actually, Mr. Speaker, get a deal that is fair for Alberta taxpayers, Alberta families, four million people in Alberta and for workers."
The second piece of legislation, Bill 45, increases fines for illegal strikes from $1,000 per each day of the strike to $250,000 per day plus $50 for each member of the bargaining unit. The union would also have to pay $1 million per day into a liability fund.
That bill, the Public Sector Services Continuation Act, would cover the more than 100,000 union workers in the province, including roughly 22,000 members of the AUPE.
Unions and critics accused the government of trying to cripple public sector unions with the stiff penalties.

Tag: Too much accessibility
Posted at: 6/09/2006 4:13 PM by Sarah Raisanen
patrick h. lauke said completely redundant title attributes on links that just reiterate link text, and even worse put "click here" or "link to" in there table summaries that explain how many rows/columns are in the table...this is the job of the AT to expose to the user, i'd say well meant, but useless, ALT attributes on those pesky stock photography type images that are nothing but visual fluff; yes, they visually convey a certain mood or whatever...but i'd argue that this mood should also come through in the written copy of a site, thus not seeing the image doesn't mean that the character (quirky? serious?) is lost tabindex where natural control of flow through markup order is far more appropriate overuse of fieldset and legend to put around a single form element, rather than a set of checkboxes etc

Posted at: 3/8/2010 3:28 PM by Sarah Raisanen
Bim said: Many thanks to all for useful and valid comments, some of the points raised by Patrick and Jack are already in the plan for the series, including: * Unnecessary summaries and captions in layout tables * How TABINDEX can make nonsense of the tab order, * The craziness that too often results from using TITLE attributes. The other issues raised can be added to the "to do" list, but if you want to originate an article, just e-mail it to email@example.com use "too much accessibility article" as the subject line and I'll post it with a link back to you. Bruce's comment's could spark another illuminating series, got any examples to start it off please Bruce?

bruce said: I'm told that dl gives "too much information"; and ins and del don't seem terribly well supported by screenreaders …
Posted at: 3/8/2010 3:34 PM by Sarah Raisanen
Bim said: Yes, it's true that DL often gives information overload, not sure about support for INS and DEL, but will check it out. In fact as support for the TITLE attribute is so variable across different browsers and assistive software, it might apply to both "too much" and "too little". You're right, it really would make a good series. It's on the list. Thanks.

Seb Crump said: I agree with all thosse suggested above. I'd add: * Overuse of Accronym/Abbreviation tags - not every instance of an accronym needs to be marked up, but it's common to see the same accronym marked up several times in consecutive (or even within a single) sentence(s), just adding to clutter. * 'Accessibility features' that are provided in an inaccessible way, e.g. text resize that relies on JavaScript.

Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
A previous reviewer mentions Pollan's rant about The Nature Conservancy, which -- much to his chagrin -- declined to harvest, clean-up, or replant the trasured Cathedral Pines after they were damaged by a tornado. Pollan is clearly very comfortable with his position about how gardens fit along the spectrum between wilderness and human culture, but too often he relies on straw-men and oversimplified truisms to represent the views of those with whom he disagrees.
Examples abound, but some that galled me the most were his conclusions that: (1) the American environmental movement is too hung up about preserving Wilderness to care about the other 90+% of our lands (absurd! ever hear of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts? the Endangered Species Act?); and (2) the moral and scientific bankruptcy of this philosophy has led to the 'degradation' of Yellowstone National Park, as exemplified by the forest fires of the late 1980's (or could this just be an example of the renewing power natural process, without the hand of human 'gardeners'?).
I accept that Pollan is a journalist and a (fine) writer, not a scientist, but a little more effort to gain an deeper understanding of both the science and the philosophies of those whose view differ from his would have been greatly appreciated.
Of course, it is Pollan's book, and a popular non-fiction, not an academic treatise, so some hand-waving to help justify his mostly-sensible views is his prerogative. I appreciated the humor and passion of Pollan's writing, and I am sure I would greatly enjoy a walk down his garden path.

Got my NEXUS 7!!
This December has been interesting! Been saving up all year for something cool tech wise - had a few thousand dollars
However I ended up with some medical bills and lose almost all my money
Spent what I had left on an ipad 3rd gen....but it was a lemon and I sent it back......didn't want to go through the hassle of repairs as I was fed up.
Checked out a few tablets here and there - was hoping for the nexus 7 but the 199$ was sold out - and I felt very iffy ordering anything online again (after the ipad hassle)
so a sad sento and my dad went browsing in the mall....and we stopped Walmart - and WOW they had the nexus 7 32 gb...yeah it was 249 full price - but I didn't mind....i decided to buy it! and i tell yeah this thing is awesome - it met all my expectations and even my dad loves it!
I am disappointed that it doesn't have a rear camera....anyone else? but who cares - it was meant for me, it chose me like harry potters wand chose him...and i shall treasure it!
so yeah life is tough, but every once in a while it throws you a break...still gotta lotta tension with financial issues (medical bills, insurance over payments - etc) but just trying to take it one day at a time, focus on the present - and taking things as they come and what I can do right NOW. - 12-24-2012, 07:50 PM #2

Glad to hear you are happy with you n7. I like mine, but it is kind of glitchy compared to my iPad. Most of the issues I have are related to WiFi switching from access points.
Regarding the rear camera I never use the one on my iPad, so I can't imagine using one on the n7

you mean 4.2.1?? I would say update it. the worst that could happen is you have to do a factory reset to fix issues.
better do it now than later when its ok to do a factory reset.
google updated to 4.2 and then they have an update to 4.2.1.
here is the first thing i did when i got my Nexus 4 and nexus 10.
connected to wifi but didn't login with my gmail id and password.
updated the software to latest(twice, there were two updates) factory reset it and then logged in as normal.
No issues what so ever so far. - 12-25-2012, 12:55 PM Thread Author #22
Re: Got my NEXUS 7!!
Swipe down from the right upper side to pull down the quick settings menu. Tap the Auto Rotate icon to lock/unlock screen rotation.
Keep in mind that some apps force rotation even if rotation for the N7 is locked. Other apps just don't rotate even if rotation is enabled. And other apps just go with the flow! For controlling how individual apps rotate, and even to force a non-rotating app to rotate, install the Ultimate Rotation Control app. - 12-25-2012, 01:20 PM #24

Brangelina | |
Jolie and Pitt at the Academy Awards in 2009
Born | June 4, 1975 (Jolie) |
December 18, 1963 (Pitt)
Occupation | Actors |
Partner(s) | 2005–present; 6 children |
Brangelina (also called Bradgelina) is a celebrity supercouple consisting of American actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Pitt has appeared in over 40 major films, including 12 Monkeys (1995), Ocean's Eleven (2001), and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), while Jolie has appeared in over 30 major films, including Girl, Interrupted (1999), Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and Changeling (2008). Their relationship began after they starred together in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). They have three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and three biological children, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
Pitt was engaged for six months to actress Gwyneth Paltrow, his co-star in Seven (1995), whom he dated from December 1994 to June 1997.[1] In May 1998, Pitt met Friends actress Jennifer Aniston; they married on July 29, 2000.[2] Despite their relationship previously being considered a rare Hollywood success, Pitt and Aniston separated in January 2005 and divorced on October 2, 2005.[3][4]
On March 28, 1996, Jolie married British actor Jonny Lee Miller, her co-star in Hackers (1995).[5] Jolie and Miller separated in September 1997 and divorced on February 3, 1999. After a two-month courtship, Jolie married actor Billy Bob Thornton, her co-star in Pushing Tin (1999), on May 5, 2000. Jolie and Thornton announced the adoption of a son from Cambodia in March 2002, but separated three months later. Their divorce was finalized on May 27, 2003.
Pitt and Jolie met in 2004 on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). In early 2005, their association became the subject of a much-publicized Hollywood scandal, when they were alleged to have begun an affair while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.[6] Pitt and Jolie denied this on several occasions, but both admitted that they "fell in love" on the set.[7][8] In 2005, Jolie explained, "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife."[9]
While Pitt and Jolie never publicly commented on the nature of their relationship, speculations continued throughout 2005. In April, one month after Aniston filed for divorce, a set of paparazzi photos emerged that showed Pitt, Jolie, and her son Maddox at a beach in Kenya, which seemed to confirm the rumors of a relationship between Pitt and Jolie.[10] During the summer, Pitt and Jolie were seen together with increasing frequency, and most of the entertainment media considered them a couple, dubbing them "Brangelina".[11] On January 11, 2006, Jolie confirmed to People that she was pregnant with Pitt's child and thereby acknowledged their relationship for the first time in public.[12]
An advocate for same-sex marriage, Pitt told Esquire in October 2006 that he and Jolie would marry "when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."[13] He reaffirmed his stance to Parade in August 2009,[14] and again to People in July 2011.[15] In February 2010, Pitt and Jolie sued British tabloid News of the World for falsely reporting that they were separating, a story that had been widely picked up by credible media outlets.[16] The privacy claim was settled the following July for an undisclosed amount, which was donated to the couple's charity, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.[17] On April 13, 2012, the couple announced that they were engaged.[18]
On March 10, 2002, Jolie adopted her first child, seven-month-old Maddox Chivan, from an orphanage in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.[19] He was born as Rath Vibol on August 5, 2001 in a local village.[20] Jolie applied for adoption after she had visited Cambodia twice, while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and on a mission in her capacity as Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR. The adoption process was halted in December 2001 when the U.S. government banned adoptions from Cambodia amid allegations of child trafficking.[21] Once the ban was lifted for the waiting families, she took custody of Maddox in Namibia, where she was filming Beyond Borders (2003).[21] Although Jolie and her then-husband Billy Bob Thornton announced the adoption together, she in fact adopted Maddox as a single parent.[22][23]
Jolie adopted a daughter, six-month-old Zahara Marley, from an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on July 6, 2005. Zahara was born as Yemsrach on January 8, 2005 in Awassa.[24] At the time of the adoption, Jolie did not know whether her daughter was HIV positive, but Zahara later tested negative.[25] Shortly after they returned to the United States, Zahara was hospitalized for dehydration and malnutrition.[25] In November 2007, media outlets reported that Zahara's biological mother wanted her daughter back, but she denied these reports, saying she thought Zahara was "very fortunate" to have been adopted by Jolie.[24]
Pitt accompanied Jolie when she traveled to Ethiopia to collect Zahara.[26] Jolie later indicated that she and Pitt had made the decision to adopt from Ethiopia together.[27] In December 2005, Pitt's publicist announced that Pitt was seeking to adopt Maddox and Zahara.[28] To reflect this, Jolie filed a request to legally change her children's surnames from Jolie to Jolie-Pitt, which was granted on January 19, 2006.[29] The adoptions were finalized soon after.[30]
On May 27, 2006, Jolie gave birth to a daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, in Swakopmund, Namibia. Pitt confirmed that their newborn daughter would have a Namibian passport.[31] Pitt and Jolie decided to sell the first pictures of Shiloh through the distributor Getty Images themselves, rather than allowing paparazzi to make these valuable photographs. People paid a reported $4.1 million for the North American rights, while Hello! obtained the British rights for a reported $3.5 million.[32] All profits were donated to charities serving African children.[32] In July, Madame Tussauds in New York unveiled a wax figure of two-month-old Shiloh; it marked the first time an infant was recreated in wax by the museum.[33]
On March 15, 2007, Jolie adopted a son, three-year-old Pax Thien, from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[34] He was born as Pham Quang Sang on November 29, 2003 in the capital.[35] She adopted Pax as a single parent, because Vietnam's adoption regulations do not allow unmarried couples to co-adopt.[34] The following month, she filed a request to legally change her son's surname from Jolie to Jolie-Pitt, which was approved on May 31, 2007.[36] She revealed that his first name, Pax, was suggested by her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, before her death in January 2007.[37] The rights for the first post-adoption images of Pax were sold to People for a reported $2 million, as well as to Hello! for an undisclosed amount.[38] Pitt's adoption of Pax was finalized in the United States on February 21, 2008.[39]
At the Cannes Film Festival in May 2008, Jolie confirmed that she was expecting twins. She gave birth to a son, Knox Léon, and a daughter, Vivienne Marcheline, on July 12, 2008 in Nice, France.[40] The rights for the first images of Knox and Vivienne were jointly sold to People and Hello! for a reported $14 million—the most expensive celebrity pictures ever taken. The proceeds were donated to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.[40]
The Pitt-Jolie's main home is in Los Angeles.[41] Their second home is Chateau Miraval[42] a pre-Roman Construction (720-121 BC.) located in a village called Brignol, which is near Aix-en-Provence in France. The latest home purchased by the Jolie-Pitt family is Villa Saibante Monga also known as Villa Costanza,[43] a Villa Veneta with 4.4 acres property in the Valpolicella, the renowned wine-production area in the Veneto Region of Italy.
In the media[edit]
Starting in 2005, Pitt and Jolie's relationship became one of the most reported celebrity stories worldwide. After Jolie confirmed her first pregnancy in January 2006, the unprecedented media hype surrounding them "reached the point of insanity," as described by Reuters in their story "The Brangelina Fever".[44] In an attempt to avoid the media attention, Pitt and Jolie went to Namibia for the birth of their first biological child, to whom the Associated Press referred as "the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ".[45] Two years later, Jolie's second pregnancy again fueled a media frenzy. For the two weeks she spent in a seaside hospital in Nice, France, reporters and photographers camped outside on the promenade to report on the birth of the twins.[46]
Like their relationship, Pitt and Jolie's six children themselves have gained considerable celebrity and appear regularly in the tabloid media. In January 2008, Forbes named Shiloh the most influential celebrity child, based on her web presence, press clippings, and awareness data, and her parents' consumer-appeal rankings.[47] Ethiopia-born Zahara ranked third, while Vietnam-born Pax came in fifth.[47] Cambodia-born Maddox was, at six, too old to qualify.[47] In a November 2008 repeat survey, Shiloh ranked second behind Suri Cruise, the daughter of actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.[48] Zahara again placed third and Pax moved up to fourth place.[48] Twins Knox and Vivienne were too young and infrequently seen to qualify.[48]
Robert Thompson, an educator and researcher in the field of popular culture, has said that the coupling of A-list stars like Pitt and Jolie, or in years gone by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, is "a paparazzo's dream come true." He further relayed that, "as silly as it sounds, this new tendency to make up single names for two people, like 'Bennifer' (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez) and 'TomKat' (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes), is an insightful idea. 'Brangelina' has more cultural equity than their two star parts."[44]

As of Tuesday, March 27, 2012

Gwinnett Daily Post
LILBURN -- Two teens suspected of tagging a Gwinnett high school in gang graffiti have been arrested on felony charges.
Lawrenceville police on Monday booked Daniel Clarke, of Lithonia, and D'ashely Johnson, of Norcross, both 17, on charges they spray-painted graffiti related to the "Pirus" street gang in several areas of Berkmar High School on March 16, officials said.
An unidentified juvenile has also been charged in the case.
The affected areas included a student restroom in the back of the school, outdoor trailer classrooms, along with stairwells and hallways.
Clarke and Johnson are being held without bond on charges of felony gang activity and interference with government property. They also face misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass. Neither is listed as a Gwinnett Public Schools student, a spokesperson for the district said.A state law adopted several years ago makes gang activity a felony in Georgia if it's done in furtherance of any other crime.The Pirus street gang has roots in the Compton area of Los Angeles, where the name is synonymous with being a member of the Bloods gang, according to the Street Gang Resource Center.

Make these special snow flakes paint over every fence, building, car, bus, truck and anything else that any gang or artist has painted on. Make them furnish the paint and the brushes. If they like to paint that much, let them at it. And when they're not painting, they're in their cell. Let their little gang buddies help if they want too.

They don't look quite so tough in their big bad gangsta mug shots, do they? Hopefully they'll be somebody's play toy shortly. On a related note, a few local cops have had great results with stopping gang punks and smiling, shaking hands, and patting them on the back in view of their buddies. What happens next is priceless – they ALL get a free ride and a place to stay for awhile.

One of the best things that can happen to them is for them to pay for the cleanup and do it like the Military does , with a tooth brush.

Adding an aux input to a Subaru
There are plenty of options for connecting an iPod to a car stereo--increasingly, car makers themselves are offering full iPod control as an aftermarket add-on. But if you're like me and own multiple MP3 players, most of which won't work with the specialized iPod connectors, the solution's different: get an aftermarket stereo with a built-in auxiliary input or (better yet) a USB connection.
Subaru must have thought its customers didn't care about audio. The 2005 and 2006 Outbacks and Forresters came with decent-sounding stock stereo systems, complete with 6 CD changer. But for some unfathomable reason (… Read more
