Most children will move at least once during their childhood. While moving can often be exciting, it can also mean leaving a familiar home, school, and neighborhood, and saying good-bye to best friends and schoolmates. Through a child's eyes, even a short-distance move can be hard to accept.
The following hints will help ease the transition.
As tempting as it may be to send your child off to grandma's while you deal with all the details, reconsider! Your child gains control over the scary unknown by helping with move-related activities. For example, have your child pack and label a box of favorite belongings. Let them open the box as soon as you arrive in the new home. Pack your child's things late in the moving process. Set up your child's room first. Spending the night in their own bed helps children feel more comfortable.
Distance permitting, drive to your new home and neighborhood a few times prior to relocating. Subscribe to a local newspaper. Call the Chamber of Commerce for pamphlets about your new community. Make a video or start a scrapbook with pictures of your new home, yard, child's room, school, and playground. Visit the new school and meet the teacher before the first day of school.
Help your child create a special address book for his friends. Encourage your child to write or send cards to old playmates. Arrange periodic calls or visits.
Some moving companies have special pamphlets and coloring books for children.
Openly talk about feelings of sadness and hesitation as well as what is good about the move. Ask what worries and also what excites your child most about moving. Stress that it will take a while to adjust to the new surroundings and feel settled again. Emphasize the support and security of the family itself.
Get to know parents with children the same age as your child. Join a family-oriented community center. If your child is interested, join a scouting group or other neighborhood activity. Explore museums, amusement parks, or other fun places. Search out music, sports, or dance opportunities. Look for ways to help your child to feel comfortable and accepted. Encourage your child to bring new friends home.

WHITE PINE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A 56 year-old man has been arrested in connection with a late June murder at the Crown Inn Motel in White Pine last year, according to the White Pine Police Dept.
The body of Eddie Taylor White, 72, was found the motel, 1148 Phillips Road, after members of the White Pine Volunteer Fire Dept. put out a fire in the lobby.
"We feel like there was an alteracation between the two, for whatever reason," said Detective Chad Cotter. "We feel like Jeff got scared after he thought Eddie passed away, and we believe he set it on fire to cover it up."
He was arrested by members of the police force and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations. The investigation was conducted by the department, TBI, and the the Tennessee Bomb and Arson units.
Earlier this month, a Grand Jury indicted Jeffrey Gordan Burke for 2nd Degree Murder, Aggravated Arson, and Abuse of a Corpse.

Stella (1956)
Description: Earlier reports that Greek filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis' Stella was based on Olive Higgins Prouty's Stella Dallas were derived from misleading contemporary reviews. In fact, all that that Cacoyannis film has in common with the Prouty novel is the fact that both are centered around a strong, fiercely independent female protagonist. Melina Mercouri plays the film's title character, an intensely passionate girl who falls out of love with her many beaux the minute they start talking about marriage and commitment. Ultimately, Stella comes to grief when one of her more ardent suitors decides that, if he can't have her, no one can. Adapted from his own stage play by Iakovos Kambanellis, Stella was filmed in 1955, but did not attain a widespread American release until 1957.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Toronto Raptors at Oklahoma City Thunder, Raps -6.5, total is 200
Are you as scared as I am? Are you ready to be the laughing stock on the entire league? If not, maybe you should prepare yourself. I hate feeling this way and I hate being so negative towards my team but when the effort is gone, what is there to hope for?
Tonight the Raps take on the true sure thing in the NBA in the OKC Thunder and there is this awful feeling in my gut that the Thunder could shock everyone.
Add up how the Raps are playing. They look bored, like they don't care and very lost. Chris Bosh for whatever reason looks fried and this team has not found itself since all of the big changes that happened two weeks ago.
Also take into account that this Thunder team, who were in Seattle last year, beat the Raps when Kevin Durant and his 150 lb. frame went off on Toronto just like all talented slashers do. OKC may suck as a team but they have a lot of young, fast and athletic players which we all know is pretty much what Toronto can't stop. Nick Collison should have his family at the game tonight because he usually looks like Larry Bird when he plays the Raps.
I won't be watching due to fear and the fact they I am getting set to head out for the holidays, so I wish everyone the best and will be praying the Raps can somehow not become the third win for the horrible Thunder club.
Here is everything you need to know for tonight's game.
- The Raptors have fallen into last place in the Atlantic Division, and are 2-6 since Jay Triano replaced Sam Mitchell as coach Dec. 3.
- Toronto was outrebounded 47-37 on Wednesday, and has been outrebounded in each of its last 14 games.
- OKC has gone nearly seven weeks without a victory at the Ford Center, as they've lost a franchise-record 11 straight home games since beating Minnesota 88-85 on Nov. 2.
- The Raptors have lost six of their last eight on the road, and won't return home until playing Denver on New Year's Eve.
- Kevin Durant is averaging 28.8 points on 50.5 percent shooting in his last five games, and scored 47 points in two games against Toronto last season.
- The Raptors and Thunder split the two-game series in 2007-08 for the third straight season.
For Bettors
- Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings.
- Road team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
- Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
- Raptors are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
Blerg, this is a hard one. Sad to say but I can't even say 100% that the Raps will win. Screw it, they will. Toronto will find a way, it might not be pretty but the Raps win 102-95.
If not, who cares, I am off to Ontario for the week so have a great holidays everyone.

Data Frame in Python
Exploring some Python Packages and R packages to move /work with both Python and R without melting your brain or exceeding your project deadline
If you liked the data.frame structure in R, you have some way to work with them at a faster processing speed in Python.
Here are three packages that enable you to do so-
(1) pydataframe http://code.google.com/p/pydataframe/
An implemention of an almost R like DataFrame object. (install via Pypi/Pip: "pip install pydataframe")
Usage:u = DataFrame( { "Field1": [1, 2, 3], "Field2": ['abc', 'def', 'hgi']}, optional: ['Field1', 'Field2'] ["rowOne", "rowTwo", "thirdRow"])
A DataFrame is basically a table with rows and columns.
Columns are named, rows are numbered (but can be named) and can be easily selected and calculated upon. Internally, columns are stored as 1d numpy arrays. If you set row names, they're converted into a dictionary for fast access. There is a rich subselection/slicing API, see help(DataFrame.get_item) (it also works for setting values). Please note that any slice get's you another DataFrame, to access individual entries use get_row(), get_column(), get_value().
DataFrames also understand basic arithmetic and you can either add (multiply,…) a constant value, or another DataFrame of the same size / with the same column names, like this:
#multiply every value in ColumnA that is smaller than 5 by 6. my_df[my_df[:,'ColumnA'] < 5, 'ColumnA'] *= 6 #you always need to specify both row and column selectors, use : to mean everything my_df[:, 'ColumnB'] = my_df[:,'ColumnA'] + my_df[:, 'ColumnC'] #let's take every row that starts with Shu in ColumnA and replace it with a new list (comprehension) select = my_df.where(lambda row: row['ColumnA'].startswith('Shu')) my_df[select, 'ColumnA'] = [row['ColumnA'].replace('Shu', 'Sha') for row in my_df[select,:].iter_rows()]
Dataframes talk directly to R via rpy2 (rpy2 is not a prerequiste for the library!)
(2) pandas http://pandas.pydata.org/
Library Highlights
- A fast and efficient DataFrame object for data manipulation with integrated indexing;
- Tools for reading and writing data between in-memory data structures and different formats: CSV and text files, Microsoft Excel, SQL databases, and the fast HDF5 format;
- Intelligent data alignment and integrated handling of missing data: gain automatic label-based alignment in computations and easily manipulate messy data into an orderly form;
- Flexible reshaping and pivoting of data sets;
- Intelligent label-based slicing, fancy indexing, and subsetting of large data sets;
- Columns can be inserted and deleted from data structures for size mutability;
- Aggregating or transforming data with a powerful group by engine allowing split-apply-combine operations on data sets;
- High performance merging and joining of data sets;
- Hierarchical axis indexing provides an intuitive way of working with high-dimensional data in a lower-dimensional data structure;
- Time series-functionality: date range generation and frequency conversion, moving window statistics, moving window linear regressions, date shifting and lagging. Even create domain-specific time offsets and join time series without losing data;
- The library has been ruthlessly optimized for performance, with critical code paths compiled to C;
- Python with pandas is in use in a wide variety of academic and commercial domains, including Finance, Neuroscience, Economics, Statistics, Advertising, Web Analytics, and more.
Why not R?
First of all, we love open source R! It is the most widely-used open source environment for statistical modeling and graphics, and it provided some early inspiration for pandas features. R users will be pleased to find this library adopts some of the best concepts of R, like the foundational DataFrame (one user familiar with R has described pandas as "R data.frame on steroids"). But pandas also seeks to solve some frustrations common to R users:
- R has barebones data alignment and indexing functionality, leaving much work to the user. pandas makes it easy and intuitive to work with messy, irregularly indexed data, like time series data. pandas also provides rich tools, like hierarchical indexing, not found in R;
- R is not well-suited to general purpose programming and system development. pandas enables you to do large-scale data processing seamlessly when developing your production applications;
- Hybrid systems connecting R to a low-productivity systems language like Java, C++, or C# suffer from significantly reduced agility and maintainability, and you're still stuck developing the system components in a low-productivity language;
- The "copyleft" GPL license of R can create concerns for commercial software vendors who want to distribute R with their software under another license. Python and pandas use more permissive licenses.
(3) datamatrix http://pypi.python.org/pypi/datamatrix/0.8
datamatrix 0.8
A Pythonic implementation of R's data.frame structure.
Latest Version: 0.9
This module allows access to comma- or other delimiter separated files as if they were tables, using a dictionary-like syntax. DataMatrix objects can be manipulated, rows and columns added and removed, or even transposed

Different kinds of Clouds
Some slides I liked on cloud computing infrastructure as offered by Amazon, IBM, Google , Windows and Oracle
RevoDeployR and commercial BI using R and R based cloud computing using Open CPU
Revolution Analytics has of course had RevoDeployR, and in a webinar strive to bring it back to center spotlight.
BI is a good lucrative market, and visualization is a strength in R, so it is matter of time before we have more R based BI solutions. I really liked the two slides below for explaining RevoDeployR better to newbies like me (and many others!)
Integrating R into 3rd party and Web applications using RevoDeployR
Please click here to download the PDF.
Here are some additional links that may be of interest to you:
- RevoDeployR web page: http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/products/enterprise-deployment.php
- RevoDeployR data sheet: http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/products/pdf/RevoDeployR.pdf
- RevoDeployR whitepaper: http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/why-revolution-r/whitepapers/DeployR_White_Paper.pdf
( I still think someone should make a commercial version of Jeroen Oom's web interfaces and Jeff Horner's web infrastructure (see below) for making customized Business Intelligence (BI) /Data Visualization solutions , UCLA and Vanderbilt are not exactly Stanford when it comes to deploying great academic solutions in the startup-tech world). I kind of think Google or someone at Revolution should atleast dekko OpenCPU as a credible cloud solution in R.
I still cant figure out whether Revolution Analytics has a cloud computing strategy and Google seems to be working mysteriously as usual in broadening access to the Google Compute Cloud to the rest of R Community.
Open CPU provides a free and open platform for statistical computing in the cloud. It is meant as an open, social analysis environment where people can share and run R functions and objects. For more details, visit the websit: www.opencpu.org

Big Noise on Big Data
Increasingly Big Data is used in writing where Business Analytics was used, and data mining is thrown in as a word just to keep liberal art majors happy that they are reading a scientific article.
Some Big Words I have noticed in my Short life-
Big Data? High Performance Analytics? High Performance Computing ? Cloud Computing? Time Sharing? Data Mining? SEMMA? CRISP-DM? KDD? Business Intelligence? Business Analytics and Optimization? (pick a card and any card)
(or Just Moore's Law catching up with the analytics)
Some examples-
Replace Big Data with Analytics in these articles and let me know if you can make out much of a difference
- Big Data on Campus
- From the man who famously said BI is dead, is now burying Business Analytics within the new buzzword , SAS CMO Jim Davis
How to transform big data from an obstacle into an asset
(Related- Is big data over hyped? by Jim Davis
http://www.sas.com/knowledge-exchange/business-analytics/featured/is-big-data-over-hyped/index.html )
I am sure by 2015, Jim Davis, NYT and the merry men of analytics will find some other buzzwords to rally the troops. In the meantime, let me throw out the flag and call it Big .
Latest R Journal
Including juicy stuff on using a cluster of Apple Machines for grid computing , seasonality forecasting (Yet Another Package For Time Series )
But I kind of liked Sumo too-
Sumo is a fully-functional web application template that exposes an authenticated user's R session within java server pages.
Sumo: An Authenticating Web Application with an Embedded R Session by Timothy T. Bergsma and Michael S. Smith Abstract Sumo is a web application intended as a template for developers. It is distributed as a Java 'war' file that deploys automatically when placed in a Servlet container's 'webapps'
directory. If a user supplies proper credentials, Sumo creates a session-specific Secure Shell connection to the host and a user-specific R session over that connection. Developers may write dynamic server pages that make use of the persistent R session and user-specific file space.
and for Apple fanboys-
We created the xgrid package (Horton and Anoke, 2012) to provide a simple interface to this distributed computing system. The package facilitates use of an Apple Xgrid for distributed processing of a simulation with many independent repetitions, by simplifying job submission (or grid stuffing) and collation of results. It provides a relatively thin but useful layer between R and Apple's 'xgrid' shell command, where the user constructs input scripts to be run remotely. A similar set of routines, optimized for parallel estimation of JAGS (just another Gibbs sampler) models is available within the runjags package (Denwood, 2010). However, with the exception of runjags, none of the previously mentioned packages support parallel computation over an Apple Xgrid.
Hmm I guess parallel computing enabled by Wifi on mobile phones would be awesome too ! So would be anything using iOS . See the rest of the R Journal at http://journal.r-project.org/current.html
Google Visualization Tools Can Help You Build a Personal Dashboard
The Google Visualization API is a great way for people to make dashboards with slick graphics based on data without getting into the fine print of the scripting language itself. It utilizes the same tools as Google itself does, and makes visualizing data using API calls to the Visualization API. Thus a real-time customizable dashboard that is publishable to the internet can be created within minutes, and more importantly insights can be much more easily drawn from graphs than from looking at rows of tables and numbers.
- There are 41 gadgets (including made by both Google and third-party developers ) available in the Gadget Gallery ( https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gadgetgallery)
- There are 12 kinds of charts available in the Chart Gallery (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery) .
- However there 26 additional charts in the charts page at https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/more_charts )
Building and embedding charts is simplified to a few steps
- Load the AJAX API
- Load the Visualization API and the appropriate package (like piechart or barchart from the kinds of chart)
- Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded
- Within the Callback – It creates and populates a data table, instantiates the particular chart type chosen, passes in the data and draws it.
- Create the data table with appropriately named columns and data rows.
- Set chart options with Title, Width and Height
- Instantiate and draw the chart, passing in some options including the name and id
- Finally write the HTML/ Div that will hold the chart
You can simply copy and paste the code directly from https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/quick_start without getting into any details, and tweak them according to your data, chart preference and voila your web dashboard is ready!
That is the beauty of working with API- you can create and display genius ideas without messing with the scripting languages and code (too much). If you like to dive deeper into the API, you can look at the various objects at https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/reference
First launched in Mar 2008, Google Visualization API has indeed come a long way in making dashboards easier to build for people wanting to utilize advanced data visualization . It came about directly as a result of Google's 2007 acquisition of GapMinder (of Hans Rosling fame).
As invariably and inevitably computing shifts to the cloud, visualization APIs will be very useful. Tableau Software has been a pioneer in selling data visualizing to the lucrative business intelligence and business dashboards community (you can see the Tableau Software API at http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/v7.0/server/en-us/embed_api.htm ), and Google Visualization can do the same and capture business dashboard and visualization market , if there is more focus on integrating it from Google in it's multiple and often confusing API offerings.
However as of now, this is quite simply the easiest way to create a web dashboard for your personal needs. Google guarantees 3 years of backward compatibility with this API and it is completely free.

Thoughts on Progress0
I tend to measure the success of an tech event (such as FUDCon) not by how many people show up or what talks were given, but by the work that happens in the days and weeks after the event. By that measure (along with the traditional measurements), our recent FUDCon event was a huge success. I have also been inspired by the friends in our community who have publicly posted their post-FUDCon to-do lists, so that we can all have insight into the work that FUDCon helped bring to light.
Rather that give a day-by-day account of my own FUDCon activities, I want to just highlight some of the the things that resonated with me at FUDCon.
First, I was impressed with the Virginia Tech campus. It was a beautiful location for the event, and the amount of space we had was absolutely fantastic. Thanks again to Ben Williams and the Math Department at VT for their awesome support.
Second, I was impressed with the number of people who had planned ahead for the conference, and came prepared to both learn and share. I didn't see too many people this year just hanging out in the hallway checking email, so that's probably a very good sign.
I was happy to see how many of the various Fedora groups really had their act together for FUDCon. Just to highlight a few that caught my eye: The Docs team had several introductory sessions and a hackfest, which helped get some new people up to speed in the docs tooling. The Cloud SIG had a wide variety of talks on different aspects of cloud computing. I didn't get to participate with much of the Infrastructure team's sessions, but they all seemed interesting and were usually completely full. The ARM SIG also had a huge presence at the conference — with a marathon run of non-stop ARM work happening throughout the conference, and some nice give-aways to help entice more people to join the SIG and contribute.
As a Fedora Board, we met a couple of different times (once on Friday and once on Sunday) to discuss Board goals and work on other Board business. The board decided that in order to lead by example we would each choose a project to champion over the next year, and that we would make regular reports on how those projects are going. I've asked each of the Board members to pick their project over the next week or two, and be prepared to present it at our Board meeting on February 1st. If you have ideas or causes that you would like the Board to take up, please don't hesitate to let the Board know, either personally or via the advisory-board list. I know a couple of the Board members already have their projects picked out, but I'm sure other members would love feedback and ideas. I really enjoyed the opportunity of meeting with the Board in a more personal setting, and having the chance for higher-bandwidth communications, and I hope that we can make that happen more often in the future.
Besides all of the technical discussion that happened at FUDCon, I was happy to participate in a number of different talks aimed at making the human side of Fedora more enjoyable. Whether it was talk about how to better attract new participants or improving exiting processes for Ambassadors, really enjoyed the ideas and brainstorming that came out of those discussions. I'm looking forward to seeing how we can improve things in this regard over the coming year. I also enjoyed the chance to interact with many of the community members in some light-hearted activities as well, including getting bowling tips from Russell Harrison, getting lots of photography tips (and good stories) from Eric Christensen, having a good snowball fight with Jeroen van Meeuwen, and having a good impromptu swordfight with Mark Terranova. All of these things helped keep me from going too crazy with all the logistics around FUDCon.
So to everyone who participated or supported those who did, let me say thank you. Now let's get back to work and finish up all those things we talked about doing, and keep making forward progress…
Year in Review, part 10
As promised, I've been working on a "Year in Review" blog post to review some of the lessons I've learned in my first year as the Fedora Project Leader. Unfortunately, the size of the post has grown a big larger than I would have liked, so I've decided to split it into few pieces. This is part one.
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I started as the Fedora Project Leader. There are a number of areas that I'd like to highlight in this retrospective, but the first I'd like to talk about is communications. Why communications? I truly believe that we will owe much of our future success and failure (both in the world of FLOSS generally and more specifically within Fedora) to communication. For something as critical as communication, I think we often do ourselves a disservice in the way that we communicate, and that causes me heartburn.
Before I dive too much into communication, let me first get something off my chest. I'm not the most communicative person in the world. For those of you who know me personally, that shouldn't come as a big surprise. By nature, I'm a fairly quiet person. Most of the time, I'd much rather be in the trenches solving problems than standing in the spotlight. The last thing I want anyone to think is that Fedora is somehow being directed by my ego. That being said, I've done a lot of reflecting, and I've come to realize that Fedora needs a leader that is more communicative, that spends more time in public helping to market Fedora (for lack of a better term), that spends less time in the trenches. If I'm going to blog about communication and how we can improve, let me be the first to apologize for being a bit quiet in the past, and let me also be the first to pledge to each of you my renewed determination to open my mouth more and to be better about the ways I communicate.
Now, looking at the Fedora Project has a whole over the past year, I think we've done an OK job of communication. Not a great job, but an OK job. There are a few particular areas I'd like to highlight — not to come off as sounding preachy, but to point out some things that will make us stronger. First, the obvious item — flamewars. We've certainly had a number of them over the past year, with some worse than others. In general, however, I'd say we're getting better about keeping the overall numbers of flamewars down, at least compared to years past. I'm still concerned, however, about the levels of sniping and snarky comments that I see within our community, and the lack of civility that is displayed from time to time.
If I may, let me offer a few reminders about communications that I believe will help us to strengthen our communities. While many of these focus on the mechanics of email, I think they probably apply equally well for IRC and other communication formats.
- Focus on what is right and not who is right. The greatest asset we have within Fedora is the people who contribute their time and energy and passion to make it better. If we come to realize that, it only makes logical sense that no matter how much we may disagree with a technical proposal or the actions of another person, let's stay focused on the technical details and try not to turn the discussion into personal attacks. In religious circles, there's a concept of "loving the sinner but hating the sin". Even if you're not a religious person, that concept should hopefully help illustrate the point I'm trying to make.
- Don't question other people's motives. This one ties in somewhat with my first point, but I think it deserves to be mentioned as well. We all contribute to FLOSS for our own particular reasons, and who are we to judge that one reason is better than another? One of the quickest ways to lose someone else's trust and respect is to question their motives. Let's try to judge each contribution solely based on its technical merit.
- Taste your words before they leave your mouth. When I was in school, I had an English teacher that always told the class to "Taste your words before they leave your mouth." For better or worse, many of the people in our community are only known by what they write (and how the write it). How do your messages reflect upon you, and upon the community in general? Is your content precise and specific? Does the formatting of your message reflect common email etiquette? (I promise I won't go into a long rant about top posting versus bottom posting, but I will encourage everyone to trim their replies to show which parts of a conversation they're replying to.) Does the tone of your email reflect a willingness to work toward a common solution? Is you message productive, or simply meant to evoke an emotional response?
- Repetition. Not all repetition is harmful, but if you've made the same point repeatedly (either in the same thread, or keep making the same point every time you get the chance), you're probably not doing yourself any favors. It's natural for the human brain to look for patterns, and I think we've all probably participated in communities where certain members exhibit a pattern of repetition, to the point where our brain says "Oh, it's another post on that same point by so-and-so… I'll tune it out." Now, as the FPL, I don't want to get to where I'm tuning people out, so please use repetition sparingly. Chances are, we heard you the first time or two.
- Be willing to be part of the solution. It has been my experience that people are much more likely to get a positive response to communication when they can show that they're willing to be part of a solution to a perceived problem. If you're the one pointing out the problem, show that you've done your homework and that you've tried to understand the problem to the best of your ability. Be humble enough to point out the things you don't understand. If you're responding to a problem report, communicate clearly whether you too are willing to be part of the solution.
In addition to suggestions above, I'd also like to point out that we need more than just a lack of bad communication — we need more healthy communication as well. I'm going to do my part to work on this over the coming year, and I invite you to join me. If you're doing something constructive in Fedora or other areas of FLOSS, talk about it!

I think for the most part, the Brigade will vote for the Brigade. But I think Matt will vote who he thinks is most deserving, which will NOT be a Brigade member. I also think Lane might swing his vote to Brittany instead of a Brigade member, but it's hard to say with him. I think the fact that Lane has money is going to work against him in the final. I don't think Ragan will win because Rachel hates him and she has too much sway over Brendon, and the brigade will favor anyone over him. (However, if I were in the house, I would vote for him BECAUSE of what he said to Rachel).
Anyway, I think it's really hard to say how the people really feel because of the editing they do on the show, so it's kinda hard to say.

see that is why reading the "feeds" sites is so good and watching BBAD....you really do get to know the people!
Im with you on the money will be hard on Lane but it shouldn't matter "WHO NEEDS IT" it should be about the game! I always hate that I need the money more stuff...that always comes up in survivor as well and thats not right.
Im also with you on Matt...its hard to know how he will vote for sure! he is a swing vote, but I think it depends who is in the F2.

Addie is a 10 year old girl who has been a huge Mariner's fan for several years. Her parents sign her up for every possible "kids day" activity in order to afford to get her to games. Addie's goal has always been to get Ichiro's autograph, but she has never succeeded. After hearing the news about the Ichiro trade, she was devastated. Her mom found this "shrine" created in Addie's bedroom when she went to tuck her in last night.

What is a Pharmacy Technician
Pharmacy technician (also known as Pharmaceutical Technician, Certified Pharmacy Technician or Pharmacy Laboratory Technician) is a health care worker responsible for preparing and dispensing medications under the supervision of a pharmacist. For more on job description, please visit pharmacy technician job description page.
Where do Pharmacy Technicians Work
Over 50% of all pharmacy technicians work in retail pharmacies and drug stores, 18% work in hospitals, and 12% work in grocery and department stores. Pharmacy technicians are expected to be on their feet during most of their shift.
Work Schedule
Pharmacy technicians are expected to work any time of the week, including evenings and weekends, depending on the pharmacy's hours of operation. Technicians working for insurance companies, government agencies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, computer software companies, and long term care facilities will have more regular business hour shifts.
How Much Does a Pharmacy Tech Make
In the United States, the average annual pharmacy technician salary is $30,840. The average salary is calculated by adding all the wages within the occupation and dividing that value by the total number of technicians employed. While the bottom 10% of individuals within this profession make less than $20,640 each year, those who find themselves in the upper 10% of the pay bracket can expect to earn $43,230 or more per year.
Pharmacy Technician Salary: Quick Summary
|2013 Mean Salary
|$30,840 per year
$14.83 per hour
|Top 10% Salary
|$43,230 per year
$20.78 per hour
|Bottom 10% Salary
|$20,640 per year
$9.92 per hour
|Number of Jobs, 2013
Pharmacy Technician Job Outlook and Prospects
The growing demand for pharmacy technicians is only becoming stronger each and every year. As a matter of fact, from 2012 to 2022, the growth rate of positions in the industry is expected to increase by 20%, resulting in almost 70,700 new jobs. Because only a high school education is required to perform the essential tasks of this profession, it is an easily attainable position for those looking for work after obtaining a high school diploma or GED equivalent. However, it should be noted that some states do require formal training programs prior to being eligible for employment, making it slightly more difficult to secure a job in this industry.
A career in the pharmacy field is very promising as the whole pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow about 10% per year for the next decade. Rising numbers of people diagnosed with chronic diseases, especially in younger adults, and the constant innovation of new pharmaceutical drugs all play a factor in this growth. Job opportunities are especially good for those with previous experience, formal training, or certification.
Pharmacy Technician Salary: Factors of Influence
The essential role of a pharmacy technician is to assist a licensed pharmacist in dispensing prescription medication. Of course, this implies that these individuals can find work wherever there is a pharmacy, specifically within grocery stores, drug stores, and even in hospitals. Because of the prevalence of pharmacies in these many locations, the growth rate of jobs in the industry comes as no surprise, giving individuals the opportunity for advancement as well.
Like many other professions, there are a number of factors that together exert significant influence over the salary of pharmacy technicians. Just some of these factors to consider include training, industry, and various components related to location.
Experience and Training
Although it is not absolutely necessary to receive any special training to become a pharmacy technician in some states, in others this can make a difference in employment opportunities and starting salary. Employers typically prefer to hire individuals with proper certification over those who has no prior experience in the field. Mainly because those who possess certifications require less initial training, and are expected to be more proficient at their job. Training and experience is highly valued in any industry, and pharmacy technicians are no different. A new graduate are start out at $9.80 per hour while those with more than 20 years of experience can expect hourly salary of $20 or more per hour.
Because of the number of pharmacies found in health care and personal stores, it comes as no surprise that over half of all pharmacy technicians are employed in this location, earning just under the annual salary of $30,430. Of course, individuals with more experience are likely to find jobs in industries necessitating more experience, including the Federal Executive Branch and outpatient care centers. This span of industry employment can designate an average difference in yearly salary of almost $10,000, demonstrating how significant an impact that industry can have.
Top-paying states for this profession are primarily focused around the West coast, although the highest levels of employment are overwhelmingly within the Midwest and on the East coast. This suggests that states with lower levels of employment in relation to population totals are those that are more likely to pay pharmacy technicians at least $36,000 each year.
8 of the top 10 metropolitan districts with the highest earning pharmacy technicians are all found within California, suggesting that high demand for experienced professionals within specific towns significantly increases an individual's opportunity to bring home anywhere from $41,210 to $48,100 and more each year. Relatedly, smaller nonmetropolitan areas are most likely to offer the highest pay to pharmacy technicians, many of which can also be found within California and other East coast states like Washington and Alaska.

Don't Be a Fool in Love
We're all for a good April Fool's prank, but when it comes to your love life, too many foolish mistakes can really cost you. So this time of year, we're offering up our dos and don't's to avoid making foolish faux pas in the game of love!
Date in the present:
Love takes time to incubate, to blossom and to grow. It doesn't happen overnight and if you try to rush it, you will inevitably send who could have been Mr. Right running far, far away into less pressure-filled arms.
Keep expectations realistic:
Instead of going out shopping for a husband, shop for a good time. Keep things simple and in the present. Live in the moment to keep your sanity and potential future with your guy intact.
Increase your odds of meeting someone special:
Look to expand your dating playgrounds beyond double-fisting in a bar or searching online. The whole world can be seen as an opportunity to meet someone datable if you have your eyes and heart open. There's no wrong place to meet Mr. Right.
Pay attention to what's right in front of you:
What you see is most always what you get and while potential can be wrapped up in a pretty package, it's slippery for your heart to make decisions in the present when bogged down with what you hope might happen in the future.
Go for the gold medal in love:
Don't accept "good enough" – not the silver, not the bronze. Believe that you are worthy of the best possible love in your love and never quit until you arrive at it, even if that means holding out for a little longer than you expected. Waking up next to a gold medal guy every day will make it worth the wait and effort.

Living in the present is so right. I've been always rushing and seeing "the happy future" right from the start and I wanted it too bad it was spoiling whatevr might have happened. And only when I was completely ready for the great relationship, I was confident and most important happy single with lots of casual dating, I met the one. It was great from the very beginning but still I wouldn't rush cause I didn't need him to make me happy, I already was, and I had a lot of things going on in my life. I let it grow with time and now I am with a great guy I always wanted, in a relationship I truely enjoy
I made all of those mistakes before but I've learned from it and trying hard not to repeat them again!
I think these are true, although you also have to consider all the mind games people play on a daily basis.
Wow I needed to hear this since I broke up with my boyfriend
I think that if more of us as women take it heart that Mr. Wrong is not for us then we can see when Mr. Right come but we tend to settle on Mr. Right-Now. We have lost our ambition to take our time and learn the person that we are dating. We tend to rush our emotions and not eveluate them.

Million Mom March
In a speech to the Economic Club of Detroit in May 1999, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., committed to speak on the issue of gun crimes each week that the Senate is in session. This is the 173rd week he has continued to live up to his pledge; his remarks follow:
Thursday, May 6, 2004
Mr. President, this weekend moms from across the country will converge on Washington to join in a march remembering gun violence victims and urging President Bush to support commonsense gun safety legislation. I am proud to support the moms, and I know my colleagues will join me in commending these women for their leadership.
On Mothers Day, moms will gather on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol to bring their Halt the Assault message to the front door of Congress. These women have come to Washington to urge members of Congress to support sensible gun safety legislation. Their leadership is desperately needed on this issue, and I applaud all of the moms who will make this journey for their commitment. After the march, the moms will spend Monday visiting our offices and urging us to support commonsense gun safety legislation.
One of the moms attending this Sundays events is Barb Case, Michigans Million Mom March President. Mrs. Case has been a member of the Michigan Million Mom March since it first started in 2000. She will be leading as many as 500 Michigan moms to Washington. The Michigan moms will be marching in memory of the 120,000 people who have been killed by a firearm, including more than 13,000 children and teens, since 2000. Mrs. Case, along with other moms in Michigan, have united with state and local leaders to implement community efforts to address the tough issues surrounding gun violence in my home state of Michigan. And, Barb has organized Michigans moms trip to Washington every year since the first march took place in 2000.
This years marchers are focused on the renewal and strengthening of the Assault Weapons Ban, holding gun manufacturers accountable for their products, requiring background checks on all gun purchases, reinstating the five-day Brady waiting period for all gun purchases, and incorporating safety standards into gun design.
Michigans moms, just like millions of moms from across the country want an America where their kids are safe from gun violence. Again, I commend all of the mothers coming to Washington this weekend for their hard work and commitment to the issue of gun safety and I hope all of my colleague will remember these efforts when the Senate considers gun safety legislation in the coming months.
Mr. President, I ask UNANIMOUS CONSENT that an article from the Detroit Free Press, which discussed the issue of gun violence and this Sundays march, be included in the RECORD.

Top Local Tips for Edmonton
Fort Edmonton Park Forget the Edmonton Mall! The coolest place in Edmonton is the 400acre Fort Edmonton Park that takes you back in time through historically accurate recreations of forts and main streets from the 1700's to the 1920's. A number of the buildings on the property are authentic to Edmonton's history and there are lots of places to shop, eat, and plenty of fun things for kids to do such as ride ponies, play carnival games, ride a stagecoach, steam train, streetcar etc. There is even a 1920's style hotel on the property which you can stay at. All at very reasonable prices.
Downtown hotels beat outlying areas Edmonton is a city where you'll need access to a car, unless you are downtown. Edmonton is unusual as large ciites go because there is not a lot of activity in the city center and people don't live downtown in condos, etc., as you'll find in places like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, etc. So don't expect to find a local grocery store to pick up bottled water or retailers open after 6 pm. Choose a hotel that has amenities and things to keep you occupied after business hours, such as a good fitness center and restaurants. Staying in a hotel outside the downtown core is even more limiting in my experience because even though there may be more stores and restaurants in the area, there are few sidewalks to get to them.
Keep an eye on the temperatures I was there at the end of September, it was -2 at 6am ,26deg during the afternoon and back down to 15 come evening time. Keep a jumper handy,you may need it.

Well, I've finally gotten back to working on my RPG; I'm hoping to push some limits, but I'm bound to run into problems and now I have a question on HUD backgrounds.
For reasons that shall remain unknown (but could easily be figured out by looking at some in-game screenshots), I wish to place a .png HUD background behind the world. The .png is as large as the screen (544x448) and it's tiled using the following code.
new /HUD/background(client,ex,yi) //assume that New() adds it to client.screen correctly
The code is working, but whenever the screen moves, the player and screen both move slowly (it works fine when the background is dissabled. My question is, is this "lag" unavoidable when using large backgrounds like this, or am I doing something wrong; is there a better way of achieving the same effect?

Awesome Bedrooms
An Awesome Bedroom could be unique, diverse and even traditional. Modern lofts could be designed awesomely with the use of high ceilings.
The whole loft could hang above in the high ceiling area where a bed and side tables could harbour while being illuminated by border Led lightings.
It is positioned in a way that it even leaves behind enough space that beneath it adults could stand.
Utilize the space more ingeniously by making it a bar or even a movie theatre where you could enjoy with your friends. Since awesome is the key word; then use water for an extremely modern aesthetic feel.
A round pavilion rose up and a low level swimming area beneath is the perfect definition of a dreamy bedroom design.
Recessed lighting and round bed could be a complementary feature. If your child is greatly inspired by books and literature then use the awesome Tokyo design of integrating your bed, wall shelves, and books within one piece of furniture unit.
Fantasy bedrooms could be an awesome idea to let your kids feel excited and be imaginative every now and then. A pumpkin shaped enclosed area with a bed inside inspired by the Cinderella could be a wonderful approach to make your little princess feel loved.

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV
Production: Bangladesh, Cool & Dre, Jim Jonsin, Polow Da Don, Streetrunner, T-Minus
Lead Single: 6 Foot 7
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 91 votes )

DJBooth Album Review
Tyson was still a force to be reckoned after he got out from behind bars, but instead of the unstoppable killing machine we saw before, the post-prison Tyson was obviously outclassed when he stepped into the ring with the game's true elite (just ask Holyfield's ear). This Vick/Tyson analogy is so dead on you should already know what I think of Tha Carter IV. Unlike athletics, it's completely possible for Weezy to recover, and even get better as he ages, but right here, right now, not only is Carter IV not as good as Carter III, it's not very good period.
Interestingly, the hype surrounding Wayne's last two Carter's roughly corresponds to their quality. For those who were in a coma in 2008, III was the most anticipated album...um...ever, and while not a classic Wayne delivered. On the other hand, the buildup to IV felt like a side note. Similarly, at times IV sounds like more like a mixtape than a historic comeback album from one of the biggest artists alive. As we learned from Rebirth, his hardcore fans will buy anything Wayne puts out, and respect due to him for building that fan base, but if you don't own a Young Money poster, prepare to be unimpressed.
We might as well start at the beginning. By contrast, expectations for Game's R.E.D. Album were just barely above basement - he responded by opening the album with a cinematic Dr. Dre intro and one of his best tracks ever (The City). Message sent, message received. Wayne? He opens IV with the completely forgettable Intro and Blunt Blowin. I'd focus on Wayne's beat selection on both tracks – this is the best production money can buy? – but his lyrics are equally predictable: "I don't give a f**k. You faker them some titties / you get titty f**ked." Really? This is the same man who once laid a legit claim to the best rapper alive title? Really? Unfortunately, the underwhelment (it's a word now) doesn't stop there. On Megaman, Wayne busts out the same "have it your way…Burger King" line we've heard for a decade now, the auto-tuned drenched, T-Pain assisted How to Hate is more 2009 than Paranormal Activity, and what should have been an epic President Carter instead hits as hard as, well, Jimmy Carter. Weezy's still far better than the average rapper on these tracks, but you can't claim to be one of the greatest and release music like this. You just can't.
My favorite moments on Carter IV are exactly the moments that so many of my peers will hate the most. How to Love may not be the song hip-hop heads bang out their speakers, at least when there's someone else in the room, but it shows real evolution for Wayne. Unlike much of Rebirth, he sounds comfortable and organic on How to Love, and the same goes for Nightmares of the Bottom, which finds a leisurely Wayne at his most poetic and honest. Similarly, while Abortion is long on concept and short on execution, it at least dares to approach the border, if not cross it. If Kanye's taught us anything, it's that if you want to stay on top you have to continue to take risks, and while Carter IV does occasionally get adventurous (So Special), by and large it's the same old same old from Wayne (John) – except he was better when he was younger.
From there Carter IV is really only notable for its guest features – Tech N9ne and Andre 3K on Interlude, Drake on She Will – and a Jay-Z diss from Weezy on It's Good that now sounds silly considering how much better Watch the Throne is (a claim I don't think even WTT detractors can dispute). So what happened? How did a rapper capable of greatness, a rapper who has always risen to the occasion before, fall so short on what should have been a triumphant return to the top? Maybe his newfound (relative) sobriety has ironically robbed him of his Martian rhyme skills. Maybe he's more focused on running the Young Money empire and guiding Drake and Nicki than his solo career. Maybe he's burnt out, maybe he just doesn't care as much anymore, but whatever the reason, Tha Carter IV just doesn't feel like one of the biggest albums of the year – at all. Before he was locked up Lil Wayne was neck and neck with Kanye, Jay-Z and Eminem for the best rapper alive crown. Damn, how times have changed.

Paris Hilton congratulates Kim Kardashian for pregnancy
Paris Hilton seems to have no grudge against his great rival on American television, and she is delighted with the news of pregnancy Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, with whom he maintained a relationship for eight months.
"I'm very happy for her, are perfect for each other," said Paris.
Paris and Kim have starred in recent years a strong television competition, which is accentuated by the similarity of their lifestyles and their status as wealthy celebrities. However, both have parked this supposed rivalry to go together to the party of a mutual friend and another similar event held recently in Miami.
