Kenyan siege on Westgate Mall documented through social media: Queen's University expert
Queen's University Al-Shabaab expert Kenneth Hall is available to talk about the terrorist group's recent attack on Westgate Mall in Nairobi and their use of social media during that event.
Mr. Hall is a current Masters candidate in Philosophy and began his research on Al-Shabaab during his undergraduate degree at Queen's. His research focuses mainly on Al-Shabaab's recruitment in Western states and the structure and dynamics of their networks.
"Al-Shabaab's use of social media, including the live-tweeting of the attack on Westgate Mall, reflects their desire to broadcast their messages and acts directly to Western audiences, circumventing the biases they see as inherent in Western media," says Mr. Hall. "They want notoriety, but also the opportunity to communicate with any individuals in the West who may be sympathetic to their cause."
Please note that Mr. Hall is only available for phone interviews.
To arrange an interview, please contact communication officers Rosie Hales (office: 613.533.6000 ext. 77513 (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Anne Craig (office: 613-533-2877, firstname.lastname@example.com) at Queen's University News and Media Services Department in Kingston, Ont., Canada.

Italy, already qualified for the World Cup, had nothing to play for but pride (and a seed, I suppose) in Naples, while Armenia still had a chance of slipping in to Brazil via the playoffs. They sat fifth in Group B, but even on points with the Czech Republic, and both sides just a point behind Bulgaria and Denmark. Of course, due to UEFA's quirky playoff qualification rules, there was still a chance that no side from Group B would make the playoffs, but Armenia certainly weren't going to take that risk.
That's why it wasn't all surprising that Armenia scored the first goal, in the fifth minute. Yura Movsisya got on the end of a ball from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who stole it from a poor back pass from Alberto Aquilani. Defender Davide Astori tried to slide in to make the save, but Yura easily went around him to put the ball in the bottom corner from about 12 yards out.
Italy's defense was exposed once again 10 minutes later, when Aras Özbiliz and Karlen Mkrtchyan paired up to split apart the azzurri. Fortunately for the home side, Mkrtchyan blasted his shot well high.
The azzurri were back in it before 30 minutes were up. Pablo Osvaldo got the ball and sent it out to Lorenzo Insigne on the right. The hometown boy, who proved a brilliant spark in Italy's attack, chipped his cross over to Alessandro Florenzi, lurking just beside the post. His header flew past Roman Berezovskiy for the equalizer.
Insigne himself very nearly scored a fantastic goal to put Italy ahead, executing a lovely little backheel to escape his defender, but his shot went inches wide of the post. The Napoli forward, clearly thrilled to be representing his country in his hometown, then attempted a volleyed shot, before ending the half with a ball straight at Berezovski.
Armenia regained the lead in the second half, but it no longer mattered. Bulgaria fell to Czech Republic and Denmark beat Malta, but as it turned out, no side from Group B would be headed to the playoffs. Still, a goal's a goal. This one came from a corner from Gevorg Ghazaryan, with Mkhitaryan rising to head on.
The lead didn't last very long, however -- not with Mario Balotelli on the pitch. Just six minutes later, the scoreline was squared once again. Andrea Pirlo sent forward a lovely ball from midfield, perfectly placed for Balotelli. SuperMario dinked it over Berezovski for the equalizer.
Italy: Marchetti; Abate, Astori, Bonucci, Pasqual; Aquilani (Rossi 73), Pirlo, Montolivo; Florenzi (Candreva 61), Osvaldo (Balotelli 54), Insigne
Goals: Florenzi 24', Balotelli 76'
Armenia: Berezovski; Arzumanyan, Hayrapetyan (Hovhannisyan 63), Mkoyan, Haroyan; K Mkrtchyan, Ozbiliz (Sarkisov), Ghazaryan, Mkhitaryan; Yedigaryan (Pizzelli 90), Movsisyan
Goals: Movsisyan 5', Mkhitaryan 70'

Legislation to block the "fiscal cliff" is heading to President Barack Obama for his signature. The Senate voted on a bill in the early hours of January 1, 2013, just hours after the deadline expired. The House of Representatives voted just before 10pm.
In addition to only raising income taxes on individuals making more than $400,000 per year and couples making $450,000 per year or more, the bill could bring good news to some of Iowa's top industries.
It calls for an extension of tax cuts for middle class Americans, and extends the farm bill and wind energy production tax credit, which could help many Iowans.
The 2008 farm bill ended September 30th. Since then farmers have been waiting for congress to pass a new bill creating subsidies for corn, soybeans, and other crops.
Congress voted to extend the farm bill through September 30th of this year, which also continues to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. It continues "dairy product price support," stabilizing milk prices and avoiding the potential "dairy cliff" that could have spiked milk prices to more than six dollars a gallon.
Had congress not acted programs would have defaulted to an outdated formula based on the agriculture industry in the 1940's.
The new legislation also brings good news to Iowa's wind energy business. It extends the production tax credit until January 1, 2014. That means any wind energy projects that begin this year would qualify.
The credit was a hot button issue during the election with President Obama in favor of extending it and Governor Romney against it. All the uncertainty led to hundreds of Iowans getting laid off, both at Clipper Windpower in Cedar Rapids and at Siemens Energy in Fort Madison.
An extension of the production tax credit was something the Iowa delegation had pushed for throughout this legislative session. It was something republicans and democrats in Iowa agreed on.
However, the bill congress passed does not extend the payroll tax cut, which means you'll likely see more money taken out of your paycheck this year.

- Once again Loved it!DQFQ1Dined on 8/23/2014Great food, great company and service - SUPERB! Thank you staff at Rafain for making the experience just perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food - Great ServiceALMusicDined on 8/21/2014This wasn't my first experience at a Brazilian steakhouse... but it was my first time at Rafain. I was very impressed with the service. We had a reservation for my girlfriends birthday dinner and we were seated promptly. Soon after we were met by our waiter who was very kind. All the food was served quickly and convieniently. The salad bar was exceptional. There meats were incredible and there smoked pinapple was incredible. Some of the food could of used a little more seasoning but nothing to cry over. They even got my girlfriend a free desert cake for her birthday. I would definitely recommend this place and a special thank you to Groupon for helping me find it!Special Features:
- Good as alwaysHodgskDined on 8/19/2014Food was great, as always. In fact, it was better than ever. They have changed to the same meat offerings at lunch and dinner and increased their lunch price to $25. That is now a little steep. I prefer the $17-$19 for lunch with fewer items available.Special Features:
- well kept gemchris6154Dined on 8/19/2014I picked Rafain for a large group. Most people are put off by the price and just go occasionally. I knew that 1) it would not be noisy, 2) they could accommodate a large group, 3) service is excellent and 4) the salad bar and meat selection is top-notch. Rafain blows the doors off of Fogo De Chau and Texas De Brazil, as I've found these two restaurants to be very pushy to get you out (and stop eating the prix fixe buffet) so they can turn the table. Rafain is not that way. If I want a specific cut of meat, I just ask the gaucho and it's there in a minute or two.Special Features:
- My new favoriteChefboy4Dined on 8/17/2014I'm an x-chef, trained via 2 yrs schooling and worked in very nice restaurants. I have not had better anywhere. I've worked in places that have comparable, but none better. I can't comment for waitstaff on a personal level, but from a customer point of view it's fabulous. They somehow are able to be very attentive and at the same time not over bearing. For a first timer, it's very overwhelming, but this was my second time there and I knew what I liked and what to get, and it's awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Quality, Variety and ValueGregDined on 8/16/2014I had never been to a Brazilian Steakhouse before and a friend recommended Rafain. I took my 18 year old son for a special occasion dinner and we were both absolutely blown away by the entire experience. I've been to many premium steakhouses in the past, but none has provided the overall quality, variety, service and value as Rafain did on Saturday night. It's difficult to single out one type of meat because they were all excellent. In particular, the premium beef (filet), top sirloin, lamb chops, parmesan & garlic encrusted pork tenderloin, and bacon-wrapped chicken breast were all spectacular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Must Gonhlpreds98Dined on 8/15/2014I have been to several Brazilian places, Rafain's is far and away the best. When you have a craving to be a carnivore, this is your place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always good!TotaleighDined on 8/13/2014The service, flavors, quality are always very good at Rafains. We enjoy each visit!Special Features:
- Best Brazillian SteakhouseOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/13/2014Way better than Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil. Better food, more meat choices, dessert included, and given all of that, cheaper than the other two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Special Features:
- Excellent Brazilian Churrascaria.JairoDined on 8/13/2014The flavors and variety of the meats, the excellent service, the extensive salad bar and the dessert bar (which is also included in the price) make this one of our New Favorite Places to eat. We can't wait to visit the new one in FortWorth. ... And don't forget to sign up for your $25 discount for your Birthday!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JamesJamesDined on 8/13/2014I have eaten at this restaurant since it has opened and continue to take friends and family every chance I get. This is one of the best Brazilian steak houses in the MetroPlex and I recommend it to everyone that likes a good meal and fantastic food. The salad bar has lots of selection and all the food is the very best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Deliciuos, great for groups & kidsJMorenoVIPDined on 8/13/2014The food was amaizing, in particular the top sirloin and the spicy picanha. We are a large party (7), including several children. The waiters were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/12/2014As expected, it is expensive and recommended for special events. We had Miguel serving us, he was absolutely fantastic. Been there a few times, he is the best by far. On the online reservation page I put a note that It was our 11th weeding anniversary and they surprised us with a cake slice that said "congratulations" in portuguese and colorfully decorated. Food was fantastic as usual. Lamb leg is the best of the meats in my opinion, but I am sure every has their own opinion.Special Features:
- Great Food But UnderstaffedForLunchMarquezDined on 8/12/2014The food was great, and the meat servers were on point bringing the meat. But it was so busy in there we didn't even have our own personal waiter. We were not brought mashed potatoes and fried bananas until I asked for them. Also it took forever for is to get someone to bring us our bill. I love love love the food. But there needs to be more staff to accommodate customers needs even if y'all are busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A meal fit for a kingthanxDined on 8/12/2014The food was delicious. I couldn't eat all the sampling of meats. The salad bar and the selection of meats were outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome lunchCLoanfTialocaDined on 8/12/2014My wife and I returned to Rafain for a nice lunch during the work week. The salad bar was fresh and varied. And the meats were succulent! They were juicy and flavorful. The staff is excellent at anticipating our every need. Whether it was refilling drink glasses, bringing a fresh plate, or bringing an unending array of proteins, they were perfect. This was an excellent experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Culinary treat!BADMousieDined on 8/10/2014Even if you only get a taste, of your faveorites on the salad bar, you will find yourself with a full plate. It has an assortment of temptations that you can't pass up. You then move on to the meats. Oh, the meats! Cooked to perfection and if you like yours a bit differently cooked, just say so. They will go and get what you want, the way you want it. They have a wide variety of meats that will assure you finding an old faveorite as well as making a new one. In addition, they bring fried bananas, polenta squares and yeast rolls as well as mashed potatoes. Last but not least, there is a desert bar filled with wonderfull taste treats. From Lemon pie to cheesecake bites, 2 kinds of flan, layer cake and cookies, just to name a few.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- impressiveBAmAgal64Dined on 8/9/2014Every time I come here the service is impeccable. I love it. I cannot think of one thing they could improve on...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date NightHoneymoonDined on 8/9/2014Awesome as usual! This is a special treat for us.Special Features:
- Always fantastic serviceJennDined on 8/9/2014We have been going to Rafain's since my daughter was 2 (she is now 7). The service is always fantastic, the food is delicious. I would not bring a large group of kids, but a few at a table are fine. It is a quiet restaurant where people go for special occasions. Great for large groups since there is no waiting for food to be served.Special Features:
- Very satisfied again!PeppermillDined on 8/6/2014Once again, we had a flawless meal. It's almost a shame that such a great salad bar is at a churrascuria because you go for the meats. (One of these days I will have enough control to visit and only dine at their incredible salad bar.) The various meats...perfection! I even managed to leave just a smidge of room for a small square of delicious cheesecake.Special Features:
- DATE NIGHT OR SPECIAL FAMILY NIGHTKathyDined on 8/5/2014I WENT TO RAFAIN'S FOR MY 19TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IT WAS VERY LOVELY AND ROMANTIC. WE WENT AGAIN AS AN OCCASIONAL FAMILY OUTING AND IT WAS A NICE SETTING FOR OUR FAMILY, WE TALKED, WE LAUGHED AND THE GIRLS REALLY ENJOYED IT. I BELIEVE WE WILL GO AGAIN.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing service....good foodFoodie718Dined on 8/3/2014The service is second to none! Everyone is very attentive. If you almost run out of something it is topped off or replaced before you bat an eye. The gouchos are constantly going around so you're never at a want for the amazing meats! The salad bar however is just so so. Its not bad just in comparison to TDB its lackluster. Also, my wife burnt her finger on the lid of the bisque so watch out for that! They DO have a desert bar however which is a huge plus over TDB as well as roasted pineapple which comes around on the spits....so yummy! Overall its a good place but for the money I would choose TDB of RafainSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful place for mealtravelingfoodieDined on 7/31/2014Reservation is recommended that being said. Table was ready and was seated promptly. The wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable of the different things offered at the restaurant. The food and ambience was wonderful. Dessert was just OK but the other courses more than made up from that let down.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great barbecue housersjsouzaDined on 7/19/2014Being Brazilian, I always miss the "churrascaria rodízio" (all you can eat steak house) style of restaurant. Rafain (at Dallas Freeway) never disappointed me for more than eight years, and it is a great place for special occasions due to its upscale ambience. The salad and dessert bars are impeccable and the meat (served to your table straight from the fire pit) are extremely well cooked. To me the high notes are always the Picanha (a cut similar to Tri-tip, which is common in California), the flank and the rump steaks. For desserts, I usually get the Papaya cream with cassis liqueur.Special Features:
- The best churrascariaJayWDined on 7/18/2014Rafain stands above the others with the endless meats and service. There is never a lull in the portions brought to your table. I enjoy the grilled pineapple that is not offered at some of the others. Desert is included which is nice as well. Overall I feel rafain is the best quality and value for your dining dollar.Special Features:

- 43rd BirthdayOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/7/2014Excellent servic & excellent food w/ Free deserts @ salad bar & desert for Bdays!!! Alcohol (wine) choices are expensive, No BYOB (wine) allowed, which was a drag, Negatives: Only ONE coupon or Groupon per table & Groupons are only good for 2 people (remember Groupons prepaid!) & we had more than 2, that was no good. Especially when the restaurant charges 18% gratuity after allowing use of whatever coupon you use... I did not expect that. So we ended up paying full price & not saving much- partially our fault- also, the wait staff did not explain the situation as they agreed that the whole table would get a reasonable percent off because of my BDay celebration. That didn't happen. No big deal, it was still a great experience and food.Special Features:
- Always excellentBigAlDined on 7/4/2014Rafain's has never disappointed, food is great, service is amazing, and when you go at lunch the prices are reasonable.

Well, I'm just guessing that he was an effete European because he threw like this:
Not to engage in stereotypes, but Europeans are better at kicking things. There's no way that a red-blooded 'Merican -- especially one from Texas, where they inject steaks into their arteries with hypodermic needles -- could throw like that.
That's the guy. In the bottom of the seventh inning, that guy threw a ball at Matt Holliday, who was waiting to catch an Adrian Beltre fly ball. The perp is likely from Germany, Estonia, or Canada. One of those Euro places where they kick things to each other. It's not wrong; it's just different.
There's a lesson to be learned: if you throw like a weenie, you shouldn't throw things in public. What he did was stupid. Throwing things onto a baseball field is stupid. Throwing a gopher nuzzler at 4 m.p.h. is stupid and humiliating.
He also looks like a giraffe licked his head. He should get that checked out too.

These days, bullies often never show their face. That doesn't mean they aren't breaking laws when they send messages or make posts online.
Those posts sometimes show fights and inappropriate pictures. Just last week, Attorney General Jim Hood said the current laws may need to be tweaked to better prosecute the offenders. Senator Haskins Montgomery authored a bill that does just that.
"Kind of bring the law up to date with the way people are communicating," said Montgomery.
Right now, there's laws against cyber stalking and posting electronic messages for the purpose of causing injury to someone. The penalty is a felony for both of those. Montgomery's bill changes that.
Posting things that maybe not serious enough to have a felony charge but this will put a misdemeanor component in it where law enforcement and prosecutors will have another tool to work with.
He says some cases are slipping through the cracks without the option.
"I was told by the law enforcement that all they can do is more or less bluff now," explained Montgomery. "Because there's not a mechanism for them to have a charge. If this goes through, this will them the opportunity to work with this charge rather than having to go to a felony or let them go."
Governor Bryant is closely watching the bill's progress.
"People should not scoff at the fact that this leads to very terrible incidents occur among our youth, including suicide and I hope that bill makes it to my desk so I can sign it," Bryant said Wednesday.
Montgomery says another section of the bill clarifies language that applies when folks post obscene or harassing electronic communications.
The bill is on the Senate calendar. The full Senate will have to debate the issue before it moves to the House side.

Despite his Arizona State Sun Devils reaching bowl eligibility for the first time since 2007, Dennis Erickson's days in the desert may be numbered. Doug Haller of the Arizona Republic cites multiple sources who say that Erickson will be fired, possibly in the next few days, while CBS Sports' Doug Morgan reports that a news conference could come as soon as Monday.
Erickson's Arizona State team the only Pac-12 South squad to beat USC in 2011, and was still alive in the Pac-12 South race entering Week 12, but four straight losses to finish the season at 6-6 knocked the Sun Devils out of contention for a berth in the first Pac-12 Championship Game and likely sealed Erickson's fate.
Erickson has been at Arizona State since 2007, when his Sun Devils tied for the Pac-10 championship and went to the Holiday Bowl. Since that first year, the Sun Devils have been 21-27 overall, and have failed to post a winning record in conference play.

Geochemistry/Mineralogy/Petrology (GMP)
The research programs in geochemistry at Brown address a wide variety of geological problems, utilizing observational, analytical, and experimental approaches. The principal active research areas presently are: geochronological and isotope tracer studies of tectonic processes in orogenic belts, including direct dating of deformational fabrics and shear zones; time-dependent aspects of a number of major long and short-term geological processes, especially mass transport and isotope diffusion rates in mineral structures and along mineral grain boundaries.
To learn more about our state-of-the art facilities, click here.
Igneous and metamorphic events are emphasized in studies of the behavior of elements and nuclides during the process of rock and mineral formation. Kinetic studies include diffusion and exchange of elements and isotopes in a fluid system (hydrothermal or magmatic), and application of oxygen and cation diffusion kinetics to cooling rates (and associated uplift and denudation rates) of igneous and metamorphic rocks in the Alps, Rockies, and New England. Geochronological methods are being developed to determine the ages and thermal histories of deformational events in the orogenic belt. Trace element and isotope geochemical studies are used to reconstruct the evolution of plutonic rock systems.
Solid State Mineralogy
The mechanisms and kinetics of mineralogical processes on a microscopic scale give insight into large scale geological processes. Experimental samples, subjected to desired temperature, pressure, and chemical conditions, are analyzed by a combination of optical, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and chemical-isotopic methods. Current interests include grain boundary transport mechanisms and effects of crystal growth and interrelations of mineral deformation and kinetics during metamorphism. The latter involves collaborative studies with structural geologists Professors Jan Tullis and Greg Hirth.
Petrology research investigations include: field and experimental studies of the evolution of magmas under varying temperature, pressure and fugacities of oxygen, carbon dioxide and water; theoretical and experimental studies of the structure & solution characteristics of silicate melts; lab and theoretical studies of transport properties of silicate melts and transport processes in crystal-melt systems. Also being studied: origin and differentiation of lunar, Martian and terrestrial magmas, chemistry of magmas in equilibrium with sulfide & sulfate phases, magma ascent in calc-alkaline volcanic complexes, and controls on mineral-liquid element distributions.
Planetary petrology and volcanology at Brown focuses on petrological and volcanological processes that occur on the terrestrial-type planets other than Earth. This research compli-ments studies of similar processes that occur on Earth, and graduate students often add a planetary project to thesis research that is focused on Earth. The planetary science research is conducted on Earth's Moon, Venus, Mars and the parent bodies of various igneous meteorites.
GMP Labs
GMP's newest lab is a state-of-the-art trace metal-free clean laboratory for the chemical separation of various isotopes, and a melt inclusion laboratory for the preparation, re-homogenization and the determination of temperature of entrapment the of melt inclusions. In collaboration with other faculty at Brown, GMP is in the process of obtaining a Multi-Collector Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Mass Spectrometer (MC-ICPMS)
The geochemistry laboratories are well equipped for the application of chemical and particularly isotopic techniques to the solution of geologic problems. Equipment includes: automated mass spectrometers capable of analyzing both light and heavy elements, including O, C, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd and U-Th-Pb, and all the necessary chemical and vacuum equipment to support mass spectrometer operations; a clean laboratory for the preparation of samples for isotopic analysis, including bombs and abraders for U-Pb zircon, monazite and sphene analyses; pressure vessels for experimental research, capable of operating continuously up to 1200°C and 3000 bars pressure; modern petrographic and binocular microscopes with conventional and digital photographic attachments; the usual ancillary gear used in mineral separation and sample preparation.
The thermal ionization mass spectrometer is an automated Finnigan-MAT 261 multicollector with 6 Faraday cups and an axial secondary electron multiplier (SEM), permitting simultaneous SEM/Faraday analysis of radiogenic Pb. There is also ready access to a Cameca electron microprobe and an XRF spectrometer for major and minor element analysis, both housed in the Department, and Cameca IMS-3f and Cameca 1270 ion microprobe microanalyzers housed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
The facilities used by the experimental petrology/volcanology group include two experimental laboratories with numerous hydrothermal pressure vessels (Cold seal Rene and TZM), a 14 kb internally heated pressure vessel, two piston cylinder vessels, and sample preparation equipment. Analytical facilities include a CAMECA SX-100 electron microprobe, an XRF spectrometer for analysis of major and trace elements. There is a new FTIR spectrometer in the Department, and researchers here have ready access to the Cameca 3f ion probe and a new generation Cameca 1270 ion probe at Woods Hole.

Why did she not get the Nobel Peace Prize?

Malala Yousafzai, this very brave girl, who shames the rest of us, is now clinging to life. She is an example of the war on women.
The Nobel Committee seems to reject such bravery, and pivots to the EU, which is crumbling in front of us.
I am waiting to hear American women come to the defense of this very brave girl in Pakistan. Or do they just ignore the Ann Franks in front of them?
This is a very naked moral issue for Americans, especially our women. Will they come to the defense of this brave girl?
on Oct 13, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Gary, it is so refreshing to see a rightwinger praising us women. Thanks so much!
Of course, it helps if she has been shot in the head, as in this case. If she is alive and speaking up for women's rights, we're not so sure about praising that, right?
on Oct 13, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Probably because her story is recent and ongoing. The submissions to the Nobel committee probably need to be made months ahead of time. She is brave, she is fighting for her life, and she is becoming more and more well known in a very short space of time.
on Oct 13, 2012 at 7:24 pm
>Gary, it is so refreshing to see a rightwinger praising us women
I am not praising American women, just hoping that they will stand up for this brave girl in Pakistan, and oppose the war on women.
The Nobel Committee, as well as American women, could have stood up for this brave girl. But they have not. At least not yet.

"The Nobel Committee, as well as American women, could have stood up for this brave girl. But they have not. At least not yet."
The nominations were submitted months ago, so you can't blame them at all (nice try, though). Hopefully she pulls through as the Nobel Prizes, by policy, are never awarded posthumously.
on Oct 14, 2012 at 7:50 am
>The nominations were submitted months ago, so you can't blame them at all
Malala Yousafzai has been well known for about three years, with BBC published diary, plenty of time for the Nobel Committee to consider her. She has had a target on her back the entire time. She took on those who are fighting the war against women. The Nobel Committe could have supported her, perhaps giving her some protection. Instead, they made another ridiculous award, to the EU. Shame on them.

Gary doesn't praise American women. "I am not praising American women..."

I'm A Scientist Kitchen
By Lisa Burke
DK Publishing, 2010
Pre-K—2nd grade
"Dear Science Detective,
Let's find out about the world you live in. You can be a great science detective if you look for clues, ask questions, and try to answer them. Carry a notebook to make draings and to write down your thoughts. Have a box for collecting things. This s your world of wonder—the beginning of a lifelong learning journey. Remember: Nothing is too hard for a science detective like you! Lift the Flap on every spread for the Science Stuff. It's the facts behind the fun!"
This book combines science with everyday items generally found in the kitchen and guides the early scientists through basic science principles in fun, easy-to-do experiments. It encourages kids to record data, think about their activity, and ask questions while marveling at the fun they have conducting the experiments.
After the experiments, you can lift the flap and see the science principle behind each activity. The materials are inexpensive and common around most households, making the book parent or teacher friendly while exciting young children about what happens in each experiment and encouraging them to ask why as they learn the reasons behind each activity.
Big, bright photos highlight each experiment that extends across each spread and easily followed directions come with large numbers to guide the process. Pictures illustrate each of the materials and a large photo shows the results. The book sets up the scientific method process in a way that young children can understand and follow without actually using the terms, setting the pattern for future investigations. To see the science behind it all, lift the flap on each spread.
The book includes density, static electricity, engineering, oxidation, magnetism, colloids, insulation and states of matter, proteins, and refraction, all made easy to understand. It has a nice glossary and a shopping list as back matter and the publisher information fills the final cover flap.
I'd say every early childhood classroom and family with preschoolers needs this book. An early introduction to science is a fun way to learn and with the push for the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects, it's a great book to get kids interested in the processes of science and learning.
Try an experiment from the book. Create a journal of the steps by illustrating each one as the experiment is performed. Use the scientific process to record findings in the journal and what the kids learned.

Ever since I was very young, I've picked and pawed through old cemeteries. I love history and
cemeteries are great history lessons. Here in the Akron, Ohio area there are many old cemeteries, Glendale being one of the oldest. Many notable figures of history now rest at Glendale and I have listed hundreds of them here on Find A Grave. The famous include: early industrialists, politicians, musicians, entertainers, etc. I have also listed thousands of the "common" people from this area. Also, I have covered some other areas around Akron such as: Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Mogadore, Hudson, Ellet, Barberton and Northampton Township. I will be listing other cemeteries and areas soon.
TRANSFERS > In most cases, I do not do transfers for these reasons: People ask for a transfer to add more infomation. But when I check back in a year or so, nothing has been added. Also, I find that many people get onto Find A Grave and "play around" with it for a few months and then lose interest and go on to something else. Then when I find additional information to add to a memorial that I had transfered to them, I e-mail it and never get a response and it's never added. So basically, I'm done playing games with these people.
If you have a relative that you'd like tranfered, e-mail me. I may do it. But in the future if I find more info for the memorial, I expect you to work with me and add it. If you don't want to do that, then leave the memorial in my care so it will be updated as more info comes my way. If this sounds harsh, I'm sorry, but I've had a lot of these people since I've started.
Recently I have aquired Akron City Directories from 1859 to 1969. I have begun to add these to my listings. They are helpfull as they show us the history of Akron as well as each person's occupation and home address. They help to fill in the puzzles.

I hope you will consider retaking the photo for Carl Cahill 6624872. He deserves a clean picture. It will probably require taking a trowel or knife to dig around the stone.

RE: Deloss Smith, # 5484432
Thank you for your information. Since I wrote you that inquiry, I found some further information. In other information I have, he was born in March 1809 in New York. From 1850 to 1880, he had been a tailor and a clerk in the Akron area. In the 1900 Census, he was widowed and living with his son-in-law (my great-grandfather). In the Ancestry Summit County death record, the death card indicates that he actually died in Wadsworth, Ohio. Since I'll be there soon, I'll be checking it all out.

Deloss Smith, # 5484432
I see Frank, Maritta, Deloss, Julia, Eugene & Henry Smith headstones in Find-a-Grave. Thank you for your diligence in updating Find-a-Grave. Deloss and Maritta were my 3rd great-grandparents.
I have a question. While doing research, I find that Delos and Emily J. are listed in the 1880 Census�he was a merchant tailor living in Akron; there were no children at the time since they were older. Did Deloss marry a third time or is this the same "Julia" that is listed in the 1860 Census along with 3 of the children? If that is the case, is the headstone wrong or am I looking at the wrong Census sheet? (She couldn't be listed in the 1880 Census if she had died in 1871.)
I'm from out of state, but will be visiting the area later this month. I'll be going by the Summit Probate Court during my overall visit and will check out data. Deloss had moved to Wadsworth, Medina County by the time of the 1900 Census. So, I'm not sure which probate court I'll find him at.
Thanks for your assistance.

I noticed you have "Died at the age of 3 years old."
But when I viewed the picture of the grave stone and visited the cemetery I thought it read "Birth Feb 18, 1874; Died March 5, 1874?" Making her only a few weeks old. She is related to our family, and was wondering how I could get this changed. Thank you for all your time and dedication to this important part of our history. This precious child passed away a heart (disorder)disease and related asthma.
Again thanks for your hard work and dedication to our past history Mr. Ed. :)
Sincerely, Anita K. Myers

A new University of Maine training program for graduate students in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) is expected to reduce the cost of providing speech therapy services, while reaching out to underserved children and adults in rural areas throughout Maine — or around the world.
The university's Communication Sciences and Disorders Department has developed a Web-based speech therapy telepractice training program to give graduate students the competencies that are revolutionizing the delivery of health care worldwide. It is now accepting speech therapy clients who would benefit from the remote access of telepractice.
"We have created one of the first nationwide speech therapy telepractice training programs," says Judy Walker, a UMaine CSD associate professor who developed the program in collaboration with colleagues in the Speech Therapy Department at Waldo County General Hospital (WCGH) in Belfast.
The UMaine program is one of only a few programs in the country that offers speech therapy telepractice training at the college level in an emerging service model for delivering health care through evolving technologies. Speech therapy telepractice involves almost no travel expense and expands the reach of therapy services to more people in Maine, where an overabundance of people in need of speech therapy is compounded by a severe shortage of speech therapists, Walker says.
"Telepractice is not only efficient in reaching people, but also cost-effective," Walker says.
Nationally, at least one study estimates that telemedicine services provided via broadband Internet would save $700 billion nationally over the next 15 to 20 years, according to Walker.
The program uses a secure, password-protected Web-based platform that allows virtual face-to-face therapy between service providers and clients. Clients can be assisted by designated "e-Helpers" — family, friends or caregivers — according to Walker. All that is needed is a computer with a webcam and broadband Internet access, located in a private setting, such as a home, school, clinic or community center.
"In addition to overcoming barriers such as geography, weather and transportation, we can also bring in family members and caregivers to participate in the therapy from their own computers in any location," Walker says. "With this service delivery model, anyone involved in a child's or adult's therapy program can actually view or participate in the session, regardless of where they are," Walker says.
The UMaine graduate training program in speech therapy telepractice, based in the Madelyn E. and Albert D. Conley Speech, Language and Hearing Center in Dunn Hall, complies with American Speech-Language-Hearing Association guidelines for demonstrating competencies and skills in speech telepractice services, which standardizes the training of the UMaine graduates.
That's important, according to WCGH Speech Therapy Department Director Michael Towey, who oversees the hospital's 5-year-old speech therapy telepractice, on which the UMaine program is modeled. Competency standards have not been well defined nationally, says Towey, a UMaine alumnus and adjunct CSD faculty member assisting the university with its telepractice training curriculum.
Industry credentials reassure clients that telepractice therapists are competent, he says. Towey says the UMaine speech therapy telepractice training program is among the first to establish training standards for therapists at the college level.
Waldo County General Hospital's speech telepractice program is provided by staff professionals, who have served people from Canada to Russia and Taiwan, in addition to more that 40 Maine communities between Kittery and Fort Kent. It is one of only a handful of speech therapy programs in the country with Training Program Accreditation from the American Telemedicine Association, according to Towey, and the only one that allows therapists to work with clients in home settings rather than at designated clinics, he says.
Walker along with Casey Monnier, a CSD staff speech pathologist and lecturer, and WCGH staff offered the first telepractice training class in August 2012 to 10 CSD graduate students, including Taylor Rodgers of Standish and Janet Ciejka of Brunswick. Following the class, Rodgers and Ciejka applied their new skills in two semesters of clinical practicum providing telepractice speech therapy to clients under the supervision of Walker and Monnier. A new cohort of 12 CSD graduate students are currently in a telepractice training class this month and will be involved in applying their new telepractice skills in clinical practicum during the next school year.
Prior to graduation, Rodgers had been providing speech therapy to a woman from southern Maine, who as the result of a stroke in April 2012, had difficulty finding the words to communicate with her family for much of the spring and summer. Speech therapy telepractice sessions began in the fall 2012, involving one adult daughter videoconferencing from Rhode Island, another daughter at her mother's side in southern Maine, and Walker and Rodgers in Orono. Now, the woman can retrieve many nouns and other words (verbally or in writing using e-Tools) as Rodgers displayed digital materials that are unique to this client on the computer screen where all participants can see- bread, rice cakes, butter or milk, for example.
Therapy by videoconference is working better than the daughters expected, they say. Their mother is progressing faster as a result of more frequent therapy sessions and outside practice of activities involving the daughters and their mother between online sessions with Rodgers and Walker.
"I had a telephone conversation with my mother last week and I understood everything she was trying to say," the southern Maine daughter says of her mother.
Therapy at home also ended a "convoluted and complicated" transportation problem when her mother was visiting a therapy clinic, says one daughter, a nurse.
"I was driving her to therapy two and three times a week, and we had to arrange transportation. I felt I was losing touch because I wasn't there for all the sessions," she recalls. It was worse for the daughter in Rhode Island, a school bus driver who can now participate in therapy sessions with her mother between her shifts at work. "Being so far away, I feel so much more involved now," she says.
For the mother's part, starting telepractice speech therapy "was wonderful," she says. "It's helping me."
Rodgers, who recently received a master's degree, is convinced the new telepractice skills will give UMaine speech-language pathologists an edge in the job market.
"I think it's a really exciting opportunity the University of Maine makes available to us," Rodgers says. "I have friends in speech pathology at other universities and they really don't have anything like this, and this seems to be the future direction of speech pathology."
The University of Maine, Madelyn E. and Albert D. Conley Speech, Language and Hearing Center is accepting new clients for speech therapy telepractice services this summer and fall. Telepractice is covered by many insurance plans, including MaineCare. For more information or to make an appointment, call the Conley Speech, Language and Hearing Center, 207.581.2006, or visit the telepractice website.

Andy Dalton put up some good stats and some bad stats in a tough loss to the Steelers on Sunday. The Bengals quarterback tossed two touchdown passes (Good!), but also two threw too picks (Bad!). He completed just 50 percent of his passes and only threw for 170 yards, a slightly below average day for Dalton.
An injury to A.J. Green -- who caught a touchdown pass -- didn't do much to help Dalton.
Dalton had 1,696 passing yards on the season with 12 passing touchdowns entering Week 10. Dalton was averaging 212 yards passing per game.
Dalton was ranked as the 21st ranked quarterback according to Yahoo! heading into his match up with the Pittsburgh Steelers who ranked 3rd against the pass, giving up 185 passing yards per game.

Katie Moore / Eyewitness News
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @katiecmoore
COVINGTON, La. - Tanya Husser said she tries to look deep into the face of every homeless person she passes with a little bit of hope and dread. She wonders if each and every one might be her brother, William "Billy" Husser, who went missing from a Covington work release facility in December 2010 after he allegedly escaped.
There's been no sign of him in three years but Tanya, her mother and one of her sisters continue to look for him.
"The last day that he was arrested, I cried because I blamed myself for him going to jail because I didn't answer the phone," Tanya said.
Thinking about it is a daily struggle for her. She said Billy struggled with depression and a drinking problem.
"I refused to answer the phone because I got tired of the drinking and the crying," she said.
A St Tammany judge revoked Billy Husser's probation in January 2010. He was on probation after his third DWI conviction. But by December, Billy Husser was gone.
He had been assigned to the privately-owned work release program called North Shore Workforce in Covington.
"It's hard not knowing where he is, knowing if he's dead or alive, if he has a blanket to sleep on or a pillow," Tanya said.
The St Tammany Sheriff's Office alerted Tanya and the family about the escape on December 29, 2010. According to the La. Department of Corrections, he only had a few months left, with a release date in May 2010.
Tanya said she last spoke to him the afternoon before he disappeared while he was at his work release job at Heavenly Ham.
"He called me while he was there and wanted cigarettes and I couldn't leave my job to bring him cigarettes and that was the last time I ever heard Billy," she said.
The incident report from the St Tammany Sheriff's Office shows Husser was accounted for 3:30 a.m. And at the 8:30 a.m. head count, he was gone.
The report shows the sheriff's investigator wasn't dispatched to North Shore work force, which is located across the street from the jail until 11:30 a.m.
After that, they searched Tanya's home.
"That day, they brought the dogs to my home. I wasn't home but my kids were there. So, my kids are calling me, mom there's dogs everywhere," she said.
But there was no sign of him. Tanya said one of her sisters, her mother and even Billy's ex-wife told her they haven't heard a word from him in more than three years.
"My mom's tried to do the missing person's report and we're told, he's already in the system as missing. You don't have to do it again," Tanya said.
DOC and the sheriff's office wouldn't release many details on how Husser allegedly escaped, or what has been done to find him.
Both said it's still considered an open fugitive investigation.
"A couple of weeks later, someone else got out and he was plastered all over the TV and why wasn't my brother on the TV," she asked.
There's no record of the media or the public ever being notified about Husser's escape, something that was standard practice for the St Tammany Sheriff's Office until earlier this year.
Sheriff Jack Strain has said in the past that he considered work release escapes "breaches of contract."
Tanya Husser said investigators have told her that Billy has not used his credit cards or his social security number since he's been gone.
"You're looking at every homeless person on the side of the road just to see if it's him," Tanya said.
North Shore Workforce was shut down in March after a string of escapes.
Two weeks ago, WWL-TV and the New Orleans Advocate sat down for an off-camera interview with DOC Secretary Jimmy LeBlanc.
"What's happened at North Shore, it is a black eye for us all, but it's one we're gonna learn from, I can assure you of that," LeBlanc said.
The work release programs across the state, both public and private, are largely controlled by the sheriffs who create them, according to LeBlanc, with yearly inspections done by DOC.
None of their recent reports on North Shore Workforce documented the problems that our months-long investigation has uncovered.
"I keep thinking, was there something there we should've saw up front that gave an indication that we were having these kind of problems," LeBlanc said.
None of the state's work release programs that are privately owned have been sent out to bid, rather the sheriffs have awarded the contracts to whomever they wanted to run them.
St Tammany Sheriff Rodney "Jack" Strain gave the contract to run North Shore Workforce to a group of businessmen, including his campaign treasurer Marlin Peachey.
He did the same for a separate group of business people in St Tammany Workforce Solutions, the work release program in Slidell that he privatized last year. It has continued operating.
Leblanc also said he plans to change the policies governing work release programs, or Transitional Work Programs as the state calls them, to require a public bid for them.
"You will have to RFP it. And we will give them a format to use," LeBlanc said.
Tanya Husser said she believes a lack of oversight both of North Shore Workforce, and of the inmates, is what led to her brother's long-term disappearance.
"Sometimes we were told just leave it alone by people that worked in there," Tanya said.
But she continues to push the issue waiting and wondering if she will ever see her brother again.
"We just need closure," Tanya said.
The St Tammany Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information about Billy Husser's whereabouts to call Detective Sergeant Steve Gaudet at (985) 726-7847.

Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall DLC Coming Next Month
Posted on Wednesday, March 13 @ 08:45:46 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Those looking for an excuse to murder (or possibly sneak) their way through the ominous city of Dunwall a bit more, will be pleased to hear that Arkane Studios has a substantial piece of downloadable content for Dishonored that further fleshes out the game's intriguing world.
Dubbed The Knife of Dunwall, this add-on puts players in the shoes of Daud, an assassin who's actions play a rather significant role in setting up the events of the main game. While Corvo isn't a playable character, as Daud you'll have access to different weapons and new powers. Better yet, you'll get a chance to check out "never-before-seen districts."
Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall launches on April 16th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC for $9.99.
