Phoenix firefighters said the girl was found in the pool about 6:45 p.m. at a house near 63rd and Campbell avenues.
A Phoenix fire spokesman said the girl was missing for an undetermined amount of time and that there was no barrier around the pool.
She was taken to a Phoenix pediatric hospital.

remove all Andrew Jackson statues.
Andrew Jackson was a traitor, a racist, and a genocidal maniac. He defied government orders to force several Indian tribes off of their land and to walk the trail of tears. The removal included many members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, among others in the United States, from their homelands to Indian Territory (eastern sections of the present-day state of Oklahoma). President Andrew Jackson, allowed Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama an armed force of 7,000 made up of militia, regular army, and volunteers under General Winfield Scott to round up about 13,000 Cherokees into concentration camps at the U.S. Indian Agency near Cleveland, Tennessee before being sent to the West. Most of the deaths occurred from disease, starvation and cold in these camps. Their homes were burned and their property destroyed and plundered. Farms belonging to the Cherokees for generations were won by white settlers in a lottery. After the initial roundup, the U.S. military still oversaw the emigration until they met the forced destination.[26] Private John G. Burnett later wrote, "Future generations will read and condemn the act and I do hope posterity will remember that private soldiers like myself, and like the four Cherokees who were forced by General Scott to shoot an Indian Chief and his children, had to execute the orders of our superiors. We had no choice in the matter."

"True Project Based Learning (PBL) challenges students to acquire deeper knowledge of a concept by establishing connections outside their classroom. According to the research on PBL, the main tenets are to create real world connections, develop critical thinking skills, foster structured collaboration, motivate student driven work, and enable a multifaceted approach.
"Similarly, coding applies all of these core tenets as programs require logical thinking, team work, a variety of tools, and – most importantly – perseverance on the part of the student. Consider the potential of applying the challenges of coding to the proven successful tenets of PBL."

Everything Teachers Need to Know about Chromebooks (9 Tutorials) ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning
by Med Kharbach
"Chromebooks are making gigantic inroads in the education sector. Several school districts here in Canada and the States are adopting them as teaching tools within classrooms. Their growing popularity among the education community is attributable not only to their reasonably cheap price but also to a host of excellent features that you can not find in other devices. Chromebooks are easier to handle, faster and more secure. They are also " instantly personalizable by each student or teacher, and easy to manage, making them an ideal solution for bringing the power of the web to your classrooms".

"His name is Jackson Quinn, but unlike Hanks' character in the classic movie, "Big," he did not have to change size to gain his dream job. The Chagrin Falls Intermediate School sixth grader, 10, simply sent an email to Jaime Casap, Global Education Evangelist for Google.
"I would love to be Google's junior consultant and I think the best way to learn about children and what they like is from a child's perspective," Jackson wrote.
"He obtained Casap's contact information this summer, through Mike Daugherty, the district's technology director. The district is rolling out the next step of its Chromebook program this fall, but Jackson has been using his Google Nexus for about six months, and loves it."

An American academic is creating a searchable database of 12 million historic copyright-free images.
Kalev Leetaru has already uploaded 2.6 million pictures to Flickr, which are searchable thanks to tags that have been automatically added.
The photos and drawings are sourced from more than 600 million library book pages scanned in by the Internet Archive organisation.
The images have been difficult to access until now.
Mr Leetaru said digitisation projects had so far focused on words and ignored pictures.
"For all these years all the libraries have been digitising their books, but they have been putting them up as PDFs or text searchable works," he told the BBC.
"They have been focusing on the books as a collection of words. This inverts that.
"Stretching half a millennia, it's amazing to see the total range of images and how the portrayals of things have changed over time.

"It's a grounding in computational thinking — not a facility with the latest feature or product — that fosters future success in the field, whether students go on to become engineers or inventors or entrepreneurs.
That's a powerful rationale for teaching computational thinking to our young people. But there's a problem. In conventional computer science instruction, these principles are only accessible to those who learn how to program. This poses a big hurdle, especially for younger students. Enter Computer Science Unplugged, which has been developed at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand over the past two decades.
"Professors Tim Bell, Mike Fellows and Ian H. Witten, have figured out how to teach the concepts of computer science through games, puzzles and magic tricks. Taking the computer out of the picture — for the time being — allows children as young as five to learn about the basic ideas that undergird computer science. Youngsters can tackle topics as apparently abstruse as algorithms, binary numbers, Boolean circuits, and cryptographic protocols. The activities offered by Computer Science Unplugged are aimed at students in kindergarten through seventh grade, though they have been used by students in high school and even college."

Just to the left of roof on the the famous Tagger route a slab meets a slight overhang low on the face to form a slightly open-book dihedral with a thin crack. Start up this crack or up the slab to the right to reach a thin crack and flake on the vertical face above. This feature lies almost immediately left of the Tagger roof itself.
The protection is so-so at the pitch 1-crux (8+), with some medium-to-small nuts or offsets below. Slider nuts might be of some use, but I haven't tried. There is some runout on the face above the overhang, but the climbing is easier and can be protected by moving over to Tagger, above the roof. The second pitch also protects well on nuts and offsets. The first pitch, after doing it once to learn it, becomes one of the nicer solos at the base of the Wind Ridge.

I made a point to go out & see "Winter's Bone", and though I found it a reasonably entertaining INDIE flick, I still thought it had plenty of low-budget flaws that distracted from it being particularly standout: the drawn-out, talky & slightly too hammy "white-trash" melodramatics of the script, and some of the supporting roles that were forced, & not very convincing. And the payoff was anti-climatic.
Lawrence...she carried her main part fine; somber, conflicted, determined & outspoken, as needed.
But consideration for "Female Performance of the Year" ? Really?
This film wasn't a "knockout" on any level. A solid B.
(And Granik doesn't deserve a "best director" nod for this little film either...there was some HAMMY acting in this).
If we're talkin' best female indie, then its definitely Cholodenko's.
Collin | December 14, 2010 9:05 AM
No Lesley Manville? Other than that, good list! Interesting, thoughtful picks. Happy to see you didn't count out "King's Speech" as some people have, it's truly great.
Joe Valdez | December 14, 2010 2:04 AM
Pretty good list, Anne. I liked that INCEPTION didn't make your Top 10 -- there were too many movies in 2010 that were much better, whether the public realizes it yet or not.
I really liked WINTER'S BONE, but Debra Granik can't be getting awarded for the second feature she ever directed. Best Director should probably go to David Fincher.
Anne Thompson | December 14, 2010 12:43 AM
Let's say it's best doc on not on my ten best list. Just to spread the wealth.
Ravi Vora | December 14, 2010 12:28 AM
I think you're missing James Franco for Best Lead Performance in 127 Hours.

EV-W boys' basketball shines bright in Christmas tourney opener
Published on Saturday, 29 December 2012 14:25
Written by Pat Garry, Staff Writer
Hits: 1194
The EV-W Boys basketball team shined bright in the St. John's Prep Christmas Tournament opener Thursday night, Dec. 20, as they exploded for a commanding 66-46 win over the Rush City Tigers.
Teamwork was chief in securing the victory, as the starting five shared the wealth. Sophomore guard Bret Mattice led the Eagles attack with 18. Kirby Knutson, senior forward, poured in 14, while senior guard Alex Geislinger, tallied 13. Sophomore forward Jared Streit tossed in 11, and Brent Stenger, senior guard, finished with 9. The Tigers pounced on the Eagles and took a 29-28 advantage at the halftime break, but the second half was all Eagles, as they soared to an imposing win, outscoring their opponents 38-17.
At press time, it was yet undetermined who the Eagles next opponent would be. Other tournament participants include Milaca, Holdingford, Maple Lake, Rush City, Onamia, and St. John's Prep. The regular schedule resumes with EV-W hosting Kimball Area at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 3

One of the surprises in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft is that three running backs ended up being selected. The common thought before the draft was that just one running back would be picked up in the first round -- Alabama's Trent Richardson. But the Bucs traded back into the first round to select Doug Martin at No. 31 and the Giants picked up David Wilson with the final pick in the first round.
Despite those two going in the first round, there's still plenty of running back talent available as we enter the second and third round. SB Nation's NFL Draft blog, Mocking The Draft, has six running backs remaining in its top 100 draft prospects.
39. Miami RB Lamar Miller
54. Temple RB Bernard Pierce
71. Washington RB Chris Polk
84. Utah State RB Robert Turpin
92. Oregon RB LaMichael James
97. Cincinnati RB Isaiah Pead

Both Minot State and Lindenwood entered the 2013 National Tournament final having scored at least five goals in each of their previous three tournament games. That streak continued for both teams as Minot State rolled up nine goals on their way to their first ACHA National Championship.
The Beavers staked themselves to a 3-0 lead before the end of the first period and led 5-2 after 40 minutes on their way to a 9-5 triumph over Lindenwood.
Both teams had a quartet of players that helped carry their respective teams to the final and Minot received immediate contributions from theirs. Cam McGeough scored his fourth of the tournament at 7:23 of the first period and Jared McIntosh finally found the back of the net after picking up six helpers in the previous three games.
Brody Haygarth's second period tally built the Minot lead to 4-0 before Lindenwood was finally able to answer. Nick Carey put the Lions on the board at 14:27 of the second but his goal was answered 66 seconds later by the tournament MVP, Daniel Lamb.
Lamb had a goal and two assists on the night and finished the tournament with five goals and as Minot's leading scorer.
Trailing 5-2 as the third period opened, Lindenwood's offense awoke for a final stanza that saw the two teams trade punches for the entire 20 minutes. The teams combined to score eight goals in the third period, including four in the final three minutes of play.
Cody Barra and Eric Combs scored less than a minute apart to bring the Lions roaring back to a one-goal deficit. Both received assists from Grant Gorczyca, who factored on every Lindenwood goal (1+4) on the evening in what was one of the most impressive individual performances of the tournament.
Minot only needed another 1:18 to pull ahead by two goals as Brody Haygarth added his second of the game with a shorthanded tally. That goal would prove to be the game winner as Haygarth was able to complete his hat trick and his four-point night (3+1) later in the third period.
Haygarth's game winner was answered by Gorczyca with just over four minutes to play but Minot scored three times over the final 2:40 to close out the game and secure their first National Championship.
The Beavers received a strong effort in net from Wyatt Waselenchuk who faced his most rigorous test of the tournament in Lindenwood. The Lions potent offensive attack tested Waselenchuk – a 1st Team All-Tournament Team selection – but he turned away 35 shots on the evening and secured his fourth-straight win at the tournament.
One question that surrounded the game was if Lindenwood's potent offense would be enough to overpower Minot, who allowed four goals only once in the first three games. While Lindenwood outshot the Beavers, Minot made the most of their opportunities the entire night and their four-goal lead was just too much to overcome.
The Beavers' sterling defensive record in the tournament was slightly tarnished by the Lions five-goal effort, but Minot's impressive offensive response more than accomodated in the victory.

The vignetting
I use the 85L on a 1D Mark IV (1.3x) and it's fine. I really think it's not noticeable on a APS-C (1.6x) sensor body. 85mm x 1.3 gives a nice 110mm, almost like old times 105mm portrait lens.
While I'm glad to see you enjoy the lens, and a 1D Mark IV (I like those as well), I do need to point out that indeed there is a lot of vignetting at f/1.2 to f/1.6, even on a 1.6x crop camera. This can be "corrected" of course, but it's there.
I have no doubt that if there is ever a version 3 of the lens, it will also have noticeable vignetting even on a 1.6x crop camera.
None of that is necessarily unusual for such a lens, or should discourage anyone from owning one. Vignetting is even something usually preferable for portraiture. I used it more for landscape, only did a few portraits.

There is one thing about this time of year that really makes me mad. It seems while folks here get into the holiday spirit, others choose to put a damper on that by breaking into cars and stealing things.
Now all crime is personal, but during the holidays, this kind of random "smash and grab" is particularly frustrating, and I should know. Last year, thieves broke into my wife's car, in my mother's driveway, when she ran in to drop off our children. Two minutes later, when she returned to the car, her passenger window was shattered and her purse was stolen.
It wasn't so much the material things we missed, but more the violation of our privacy that hit home and it happened in the middle of the day in the driveway of our neighborhood. And if the crime itself wasn't frustrating enough, I was told by the Lubbock Police Department that because of the huge number of similar cases, that it could take up to a month just to get a case number, much less the satisfaction of someone ever being caught and held accountable for what they did.
So consider this, no one can control a random break-in, but you can decide to not be a target. And my advice is simple, make it harder for them to pick your car. Don't leave anything in sight. Electronics, gift sacks, cd's, sunglasses, purses, you name it. The more items visible from the window, the greater chance you will win the smash and grab lottery that day.
Also, take time to observe your surroundings when you're out shopping or eating. Who knows? You could help lead police to one of the few criminals that actually gets caught in these cases.
What a shame that during a time of year reserved for thanksgiving and happiness, you're also more likely to be a victim of crime like a car burglary. But if we are all a little more vigilant with our own surroundings, perhaps the numbers will go down.

Tag Archives: are bananas fattening
Is there Fat in Fruits, Vegetables
We've all wondered about certain fruits and vegetables-if there is fat in that? There are common misconceptions of many foods containing fat, whereas they contain no fat or extremely low fat content. On the other hand, there are some foods even if they don't have fat, promote fat storage in the body. So, let's find out- Is there fat in that food?
Fruits: As a standard, you can assume that most fruits have absolutely no fat content. Let's the examples of certain fruits which are often considered to contain fat.
Bananas- Bananas are nutritious and healthy, with extremely low fat content. If you believe that bananas and milk make you fat. The potassium in bananas actually promotes muscle growth and thus fat loss.
Mango- We've told you before that about the fat content in mangoes- there is none in the king of summer fruits.
Apples- Apples have health benefits, and have absolutely no fat content. Studies have shown that they apples can promote weight loss.
Chickoo- This much maligned Indian fruit has again no fat content. It has fiber and good carbohydrates as most fruits do. Fruit sugars provide sustained energy, and fiber keeps you from getting hungry, so the chickoo is only good for you!
Strawberries- These delicious fruits are loaded with antioxidants and contain no fat absolutely. Here's a great strawberry banana smoothie recipe.
Now, that we've cleared out the fat content of most fruits, you should know that Avocado is the only popular fruit that contains fat. But avocado are good for your skin. Similar to fruits, many vegetables get a bad rap for their fat content also, so let's find out-
Potato- French fries contain fat and potato chips are unhealthy, but the potato by itself contains no fat and potatoes can help weight loss.
Brocolli- Brocolli is one of the healthiest vegetables. No fat content, and loaded with antioxidants.
Beans- There are many kind of beans- kidney, black, lima, etc.. But they contain no fat and are among the few vegetable that help you gain muscle.
Lettuce- Lettuce is primarily water. In fact, its the primary ingredient for most salads- the holy grail of diet plans.
So, eat your vegetables and fruits without fear of their fat content. They will help you lose weight, gain muscle and get fit!— this article is written by a dietitian @ FitHo
Banana Milk Shake – Unhealthy Fattening?
Banana milkshakes (banana and milk combination) are a common topic of health debates- whether banana milkshakes are unhealthy, fattening & weight gaining or good for health? Many people believe that if you have banana and milk together, it will make you gain unhealthy weight! This is one of the biggest myths- banana milkshake does not make you fat. We'll show you how..
Let's analyze this a little. For a basic banana milkshake, you need one banana and one glass of low fat milk. A banana by itself has negligible fat. See banana calories & nutrition. Milk is a dairy product. And a recent study linked dairy consumption with reduced storage of belly fat. So, we know its not the high fat is not the problem.
Both banana and milk have a low-medium Glycemic Index, so it is not the carbohydrate content that could make you fat. Besides, banana-milk provide you with protein, fiber, calcium, vitamins, and minerals, which if anything, don't make you fat. As you see, there is nothing in banana and milk that makes you fat.
If you're worried about calories in bananas and milk, then 1 banana is about a 100 calories. 1 glass of low fat milk is about 60-80 calories. So, a plain banana milkshake would be about 160-180 calories. The total calories from this concoction is lower than a bag of chips (about 600 calories). What the culprit probably is all the additives in a banana milkshake to make it taste better- sugar, ice cream, unhealthy sweet syrup (basically, sugar and water), and all the extra flavouring. These additives are loaded with calories, and that is what could make a banana milkshake unhealthy and fattening.
The other reason why people associate banana & milk with being fattening & unhealthy is that in general people who are overweight are consuming more calories than they're burning. If they added a banana milkshake to their regular daily diet, did they remove something from their diet to compensate? We all know the basic rule of weight gain: More calories in, less calories out and you gain weight. As you can see, the poor banana and milk are just scapegoats for people not burning the calories that they consume.
If you just have a simple banana milk shake, it is loaded with benefits – healthy carbohydrates, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and more. All you need to do to make a banana milkshake, is throw one or two bananas, a glass of low fat milk and some ice cubes, in to the mixer.
Simple Banana Milkshake Recipe Tip: Next time you have a banana shake, add a pinch of cinnamon to it, or try some elaichi (green cardamom)- makes it delicious. The spices are loaded with antioxidants and make it even healthier!— this article is written by a dietitian @ FitHo

Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 25 min
Difficulty: Easy
1/2 pound lean bacon, finely diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons butter
In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.

Add the broth and cook, covered, over low heat until the sprouts are easily pierced with a fork, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the butter and transfer the sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with bacon bits and serve.

I used fresh sprouts. The sprouts took about 25 minutes to cook on a medium low heat. The recipe called for a shorter cook time and lower temp. The results of the longer time, higher temps, we're well worth the flavors and texture.

Editor Styles for Custom Post Types in WordPress 3.0
I've had some fun playing around with the recently released WordPress 3.0, Beta 1. One of my new favorite additions is the add_editor_style() which allows you to assign a CSS file for the TinyMCE when editing posts, pages and the new custom post types. This is very handy to get closer to a WYSIWYG experience in WordPress' editor and not having to preview the posts all the times while writing, to check where line breaks end up and so on (if you care about those things).
I'm also loving the new Custom Post Types, and on one of my sites, I have setup a few different post types. On the frontend I have different widths for posts, pages and my new WordPress 3.0 custom post type 'portfolio. I wanted to reflect the different widths in my admin editor style sheet as well. The posts are the narrowest ones, while pages are wider and my custom post type portfolio is the widest, so I have made 3 style sheets which are pretty much the same, with the exception of the
html .mceContentBody { max-width:640px; }
which sets the width for the editor. My style sheets are named; editor-style-post.css, editor-style-page.css and editor-style-portfolio.css.
To be able to decide which post type I'm editing I check post_type in the $current_screen variable and then set the correct CSS according to that.
The code I end up with adding to my functions.php file looks something like this.
function my_editor_style() { global $current_screen; switch ($current_screen->post_type) { case 'post': add_editor_style('editor-style-post.css'); break; case 'page': add_editor_style('editor-style-page.css'); break; case 'portfolio': add_editor_style('editor-style-portfolio.css'); break; } } add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_editor_style' );
By expanding on the code above you can continue defining stylesheets for any custom post types you might end up with in WordPress 3.0.
That's it folks, cheers!
Very helpful — just switched to the 3.0 beta myself, and this is going to save me a lot of grief trying to figure this part out. Thanks.( )
This will come in very handy – thanks for sharing bud( )
This is very helpful, but how would you change the editor style for page templates … in my case, the default page width is the same as for posts, but I also have a "full-width" page template that has a different width.
How could I load a different editor style for a page using the "full-width" page template?( )
Did you ever find a solution for your question?
This is very helpful, but how would you change the editor style for page templates … in my case, the default page width is the same as for posts, but I also have a "full-width" page template that has a different width.
How could I load a different editor style for a page using the "full-width" page template?
I have the same problem.( )
I got this to work by using the $GLOBALS['post']->page_template variable to change my stylesheet based on the current page template…
Here's the modified code:
function my_editor_style() { switch ($GLOBALS['post']->page_template) { case 'page-two-column.php': // Change to your template filename add_editor_style('editor-style-two-column.css'); break; default: add_editor_style('editor-style.css'); break; } } add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_editor_style' );( )
I try to do it in my blog, it really help me , the GUI make it easy( )
wonderful tip, bravo and thx a bunch!( )
very good post! thank you!
how can i add a specific editor-style for a selected page? for example i have 3 pages in my backend (home,contact,business) and i want on the business page an other editor-stylesheet how can i fix this?( )

After the Challenger accident on January 28, 1986, President Reagan established the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident to investigate the accident and make recommendations for the safe recovery of the Space Transportation System (STS). Among its recommendations, the Commission called upon NASA to review certain aspects of its STS risk assessment effort and to identify items that needed improvement. It further recommended that an audit panel be appointed by the National Research Council to verify the adequacy of the effort.
Post-Challenger Evaluation of Space Shuttle Risk Assessment and Management is the compilation of the conclusions and recommendations of the Committee on Shuttle Criticality Review and Hazard Analysis Audit. It is intended to assist NASA in taking the prudent additional steps which will provide a reasonable and responsible level of flight safety for the Space Shuttle, but has broader applications for other space programs.

Cheap Wine Friday: Franzia Box Wine - Merlot
July 20, 2012 | Posted By: Troy Redington | Categorized in: Food & Dining Out
Wine snobs, stop reading. There is no cork sniffing in this post.
Every Friday at our all hands meeting, we enjoy a beer or two after discussing work progress and such. Last week we picked up a box of Franzia Merlot to enjoy as well.
Boxed wine has a bad reputation - but thankfully people are becoming more logical and open minded, and less snobbish.
Here are a few quick benefits of boxed wine:
Now on to this wine...
Franzia Boxed MerlotWe drank this gem cold. It's been hot outside, and the person that bought it put it in the fridge without knowing about the whole 'proper serving temperature' thing. Perhaps that's a wine snob thing too?
This wine was fantastic. Just a touch of dryness, with robust layering of flavors. It had hints of blackberry and raspberry. The aftertaste was short and sweet. At $12 for a 5L box, this wine is ultra cheap, and ultra delicious.
There wasn't a single indicator that this wine came from a box and not a bottle.
The spout was easy and drip free too.
We got our our social media intern, Ann, in on the tasting as well. She commented, "When I think of boxed wine, I immediately think of college...and the not so fun mornings after a night of boxed wine. It's an interesting concept. It kind of reminds me of a juice box. An adult juice box to be exact".
After sipping a glass, she added "It's not bad. I like that its cold so kudos to whoever put it in the fridge. Merlot is one of my favorite wines, and this doesn't taste that bad. Its fresh, and has some zing to it. Which is surprising, because most merlots are vastly dry. I'd probably buy it. Hopefully no one at the store would SEE me buy it, but its still a good wine."
If I weren't the only one drinking in my household - I would definitely be drinking boxed wine more often than bottled.

Plainview, TX - Dozens of jobs are returning to Plainview after White Energy announced it would resume operations at its ethanol plant.
The plant was idled in January after the after-effects of the drought created a shortage in corn supplies.
White Energy is now hiring 39 new employees to work at the plant.
When production resumes in mid to late October, the plant plans to shift its processing to use much more milo and sorghum than it does corn.

Provost Warwick Arden issued the following statement Wednesday:
Diversity and inclusion are core values of NC State, helping to weave the fabric of a campus community that includes more than 40,000 students, faculty and staff who come to NC State from all over North Carolina, the nation and the world.
A diverse population enriches and enlivens the educational experience for students in pursuit of a college education and for whom NC State is the gateway to opportunity. Everyone should be free to pursue their education, attain their personal goals and do their jobs in a safe and welcoming environment.
It is in that spirit that we strongly condemn the thoughtless and shameful act of vandalism and harassment taken against our GLBT Center and against our campus on Monday night.
Not only are we a diverse campus community, we encourage open and civil discussion on difficult issues–the kind of discussion that allows us to gain greater respect and a better understanding of each other. I am encouraged and proud to hear that once again students, staff, faculty and administrators are taking a stand in the face of a hateful act. Our unity is a reflection of our shared values and a dynamic statement on the importance of open, constructive and respectful dialogue.

The World > South America > Brazil
The bed of Cauipe river becomes a lagoon before it reaches the Atlantic Ocean, and with a constant wind, kitesurfing is the ideal sport. Cumbuco beach is located 60 km from Fortaleza, Ceará, one of the cities that will host 2014 Fifa´s World Cup in Brazil.

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.

Live coverage from Birmingham, where SB Nation is taking in the spectacle of SEC Media Days.
Say what you will about Bobby Petrino (and in this part of the country, plenty of people could say plenty), but he's more personable and -- dare I say -- lifelike at this year's Media Days than he's ever been as Arkansas' skipper. Petrino opens his remarks by openly admitting he has trouble saying it's great to be here with a straight face and wishes a happy 26th wedding anniversary to his wife, Becky, and the tone is set for an unusually genial interview session. Highlights follow:
• Tyler Wilson, though he served ably as Ryan Mallett's backup as the Hogs' second-stringer, still doesn't have the official lock on the starting gig. (So quit asking, is the implied followup.)
• Petrino wasn't happy Mallett gave away several of Arkansas' hand signals during his appearance on Jon Gruden's pre-draft TV special, but says Mallett gave him some ideas for new ones. (What exactly those signals involve goes wisely unsaid.)
• Knile Davis is the toast of the weight room this season, hyping up other position groups and generally serving as resident live-in gym rat. Davis will later tell our own Spencer Hall he benched a personal-best 430 pounds last Monday when his strength coach put an Alabama sign in front of him and said, "What're you gonna do when you're on the field with Alabama?" He also characterizes Mississippi State as the hardest-hitting team he played last year.
• Petrino recalls his shock at adjusting his teams to SEC defensive front sevens following his time in the Big East, and still can't quite believe how hard it is to be an offensive lineman in this conference.
• The question we've all been waiting for actually takes a while to get asked, but here you go, Arkansans: Does Petrino count January's Sugar Bowl loss to Ohio State as a victory now? From the man himself: "We're 10-2. We had every chance in the world to win that game. We got beat on the field." There you go.

A family oriented event, Groveland Day is designed to offer something for every age, said Steve Merrill, a member of the Groveland Day Committee.

F13RCE Senior Spring Break by Becca Dumke - over 1 year ago
"My friend and I thought of ordering the tanks exactly one week before we left for spring break in Destin, I made the design and placed the order that night! After tweeting the picture, we got over fifty girls in on it!! Amazingly, they all got printed perfectly and we were able to wear them to the beach! Custom Ink was amazing and the boys lives out tanks so much I'm currently working a more manly design for them! This was the perfect finishing touch to our senior trip! "

This is in the Pony Express area. When facing Mesca-Line, this route is immediately right of the dihedral that is just right of Mesca-Line (the dihedral is Dandi-Line). It follows a thin crack with some grass sticking out of it (but the climb is very clean) to a tree.
The pro looks sparse from the ground but you can sew it up. Bring a set of stoppers and mostly small stuff.

On Sunday, Jan. 19 the beloved and universally respected Thomas J. Sullivan was fatally injured when hit by a vehicle while walking to church.
Tom's boundless energy and enthusiasm, coupled with a "can-do" attitude made him a fearless advocate for every child. Recognized statewide and nationally for his devotion to the wellness and safety of all children, Tom served as President of the Virginia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in 2001 and 2002. In 2006, the Washington Family Magazine named him as a "Doctor of Excellence."
As an active Virginia Chapter-AAP leader, Tom served as the Pediatric Research Office Setting (PROS) Coordinator, developing one of the larger PROS state groups in the nation. Additionally, he founded the Pediatric Education Foundation of Virginia, which made available grant funds for private pediatric practices. Through the Foundation, collaborative partnerships were developed to support an Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) care model for pediatric offices. As a champion of the ADHD model, Tom worked closely with 12 practices around the state.
Tom and his practice served as a pilot for the Medical Home Collaborative
that modeled pediatric practice teams to improve the health care for
children with special health care needs. He served on the State Child
Fatality Review Team, which looked closely at patterns of child injury.
Additionally, Tom advocated the Bright Futures model for pediatric care
and assisted in the development of the Bright Futures model for the
Virginia Department of Health.
He also served on the mental health task force for the Virginia Chapter that focused on maternal depression. He was a member of the Virginia Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Learning Collaborative, sponsored by the National Initiative of Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ) to identify infants who fail initial hearing screening.
Virginia, its pediatricians and, most importantly, its children, are in a better place, thanks to the advocacy of Dr. Thomas J. Sullivan, MD, FAAP.
We will miss him so much; he was our hero, a child's best friend, and our mentor.
William "Biff" Rees, MDPresident, Virginia Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics

The Dolphins might get some more depth along the defensive line from a familiar name at an unexpected time. DE Phillip Merling was activated from the non-football injury list and participated in practice leading up to Week 13. The former first-rounder had been out after sustaining an Achilles tendon tear before training camp away from Miami's facilities. But surprisingly, Merling progressed to the point where the team activated him. He is not in game shape yet, has put on weight and still has a limp, but claims he will play this season. Merling was the projected starter at right defensive end before his injury, and the door opened for rookie Jared Odrick. But an injury suffered in the opener cost Odrick his season, moving Randy Starks back to his normal DE position. His backup has been Tony McDaniel, who is having his most productive season. We hear that McDaniel wants to start somewhere and likely won't re-sign, meaning Merling's early return could give him a chance to impress the coaches so he can be a factor in next year's rotation.

Pineapple Fruit Boat Recipe
Served in a pineapple shell, this fancy salad goes together surprisingly quickly with a handful of ingredients. It's an impressive way to present fresh fruit.
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 medium navel orange, peeled and sectioned
- 1 medium firm banana, sliced
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- Stand pineapple upright and vertically cut a third from one side, leaving the leaves attached; set cut piece aside.
- Using a paring or grapefruit knife, remove pineapple from large section in strips, leaving a 1/2-in. shell; discard core. Cut strips into bite-size chunks. Set aside 2 tablespoons juice from pineapple; invert shell onto paper towel to drain. Remove fruit from the small pineapple piece and cut into chunks; discard peel. Place shell in a large serving bowl or on a serving platter.
- In a bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, strawberries, orange and banana. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and reserved pineapple juice; spoon over fruit and stir gently. Spoon into pineapple boat. Yield: 6 servings.

The problem is head concussions. Few, perhaps no, players avoid them. How many concussions are too many? "One," says a neurologist in the film. Especially if it's your child. Contact sports will, however, continue to be played, and players will continue to be concussed, some more than once in a season or even once in a game. "No child under the age of 13 should be allowed to play collision sports," says an expert here.
The documentary by Steve James paints a devastating picture of the long-term consequences of head injuries among pro NFL players. They are nearly 20 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than the general population, for example. There is a chilling scene showing Ann McKee, professor of neurology and pathology at Boston University, slicing through the brains of dead NFL veterans and pointing to the dark places associated with the brain disease CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). There is a painful moment when an NFL veteran finds himself unable to name the months of the year.
The doc centers on two figures. One is Christopher Nowinski, a former Harvard and professional lineman, who graduated to pro wrestling. Nowinski's book Head Games: Football's Concussion Crisis is one of the sources for the film. The other is New York Times sports reporter Alan Schwarz, who has made head injuries his beat. (Sun-Times columnist Rick Telander was out front on this story with a series in 2010.)
For years, the NFL seemed to keep its distance from the head injury controversy, despite prodding from players' groups. Recently, it has grown more involved in research and prevention, but "playing through injury" is still part of its ethos. Players with concussions are advised to sit it out while their head clears; experts say a week of inactivity is recommended.
Some of the film's more thought-provoking scenes involve games played at Chicago's Near North Elementary. The players are obviously emulating pro games they've seen on TV. It's not a "game" for them. They go for hard hits.
The news that hockey is as dangerous to heads as football may not come as news. But James also considers women's soccer and its rate of head concussions. By the end of "Head Games," we've heard a sobering lesson. Yet even parents who are identified on camera as concussion experts allow their son to play hockey — because, well, "he enjoys it, and we enjoy watching him."
In Allen, Texas, a $60 million high-school football stadium and sports facility has just been opened. ESPN says it has "seats for 18,000 roaring fans, a 38-foot wide high-definition video screen, corporate sponsors and a towering upper deck." What kind of pressure does it place on a teenage kid to play on a field like that? How many concussions will he play through?

Let's talk about who gets EU aid says Cameron
The Prime Minister has floated the idea of an agreement between different parts of the UK to protect regions that face cuts in European aid. The Welsh Government has warned of a £400 million cut in funding to west Wales and the valleys over the next seven years, following Friday's EU budget deal.
David Cameron told MPs that total aid to Britain is broadly unchanged at roughly £10 billion. That's because new 'transition' regions and even wealthy regions will also attract some funding, although west Wales and the valleys is the only part of the UK to remain one of the EU's poorest regions.
– Prime Minister David Cameron MP
What we now need to do is to sit down as the United Kingdom and to work out how best to make sure that the money is fairly divided between Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England. There are transition regions in England that are looking to benefit but I'm sure we can have fruitful discussions and come to a good conclusion.
The European Commission says it will be more flexible than in the past about how the money is allocated within each member state. It's suggested that the UK could increase the allocation to west Wales and the valleys by up to 2%, which would be about £30 million on the Welsh Government's figures.
