RGM-59 Taurus
(United States)
Notes: As the USN decommissioned all-gun ships of the WWII era, the USMC was left with a declining pool of fire support. In 1961, the USN issued the LFSW (landing force support weapon) requirement which called for a highly-accurate missile with a minimum of 30NM range, that could be launched from existing Mk10 twin-arm launchers (as used by the RIM-2 Terrier SAM).
Tests of potential guidance systems on small rockets revealed some challenges, namely that inertial guidance did not give sufficient accuracy while other methods (TV, homing, etc) failed because the presumptive targets lacked visual contrast. The solution was inertial guidance in the flight phase with terminal homing on a beacon held by forward troops. If the latter failed, inertial guidance would be able to guide it to target with reduced accuracy. The Taurus was to be two-stage, the first a fall-off solid rocket and the second unpowered. Total range was predicted to be 50NM with a 1000lb HE unitary warhead.
Most of the RGM-59's systems had been tested on other rockets by 1965, however no actual Taurus was built before it was cancelled in 1965. The USN then shifted to a proposed "Sea Lance" version of the Army's MGM-52 Lance SRBM, which also came to nothing.

Gary buffet to open on Sundays, hopes for rebirth
By Carole Carlson email@example.com | 648-3154 March 1, 2013 5:04PM
Updated: April 3, 2013 6:09AM
GARY — After a two-month hiatus, the Steel City Buffet will open again on Sunday. But here's the catch, it will open only on Sundays.
Scott Upshaw, director of the GECH Empowerment Zone, which operates the restaurant, said he hopes his agency can "transition" out of operating the restaurant and find an entrepreneur to take it over.
The Empowerment Zone began operating the buffet in 2009 after original lessee, Kenneth Lewis Sr., stopped paying rent. The Empowerment Zone built the restaurant at 411 E. 5th Ave., across from the U.S. Steel Yard, in partnership with Lewis for his Dusties Southern Style Buffet and Kenny's Ribs. Court filings showed Lewis owed as much as $280,000 in September 2010.
The Empowerment Zone was financed with federal dollars until 2010 so it could make loans to local businesses in Gary, East Chicago and Hammond.
Now, the agency still exists as a nonprofit, operating from cash it receives as loans are paid back.
The agency kept the buffet open and changed the name to Steel City Buffet after Dusties left, but business continued to be slow.
On Friday, Upshaw said Delwin Murphy will begin marketing the restaurant. "We're trying to find someone to get people into the restaurant," Upshaw said. He said Murphy's compensation would be based on performance, calling it a "collaborative effort."
Upshaw said although the buffet has been closed since January, it has been open for special events, banquets and catering.
Upshaw said the buffet's hours will be 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. "We're trying to reinvent the restaurant so we can slowly open the doors up," Upshaw said.
Meanwhile, the agency is leasing the smaller adjacent restaurant that once housed Kenny's Ribs to Michael Parker, former manager of the buffet. Named Parker's Pig Out, it features barbecue ribs, turkey and chicken.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Bode Miller Defends NBC Reporter After She's Slammed for 'Tone-Deaf' and 'Shameful' Interview
After becoming the oldest medalist in Olympic alpine history, Bode Miller found himself in an interview with NBC reporter Christin Cooper, who questioned him repeatedly about the death of his brother, and how that loss has shaped his experience at the Olympics. While such personal questions are often asked of athletes in this type of situation, Cooper seemed not to take any of the hints that her line of questioning was pushing Miller into an extremely emotional state, and she failed to let up until he had broken down into tears, hidden his face, and had been rendered speechless.
The scene sparked an angry outcry from fans and journalists alike, who felt Cooper lacked tact and sensitivity. The AP's David Bauder, for instance, called the interview "tone-deaf and cruel, and short-circuited the thoughtful, intelligent perspectives Miller had started to offer until he couldn't talk anymore," and The New York Times' Richard Sandomir wrote that "Cooper and NBC lacked the sensitivity to know when enough was enough."
In a classy and kind response to the uproar, Miller himself took to Twitter to thank his fans for expressing their concern for his well-being, but also to defend his interviewer.
I appreciate everyone sticking up for me. Please be gentle w christin cooper, it was crazy emotional and not all her fault. #heatofthemoment

It all began with a "Mr. Microphone" at the age of six on Christmas Day. From that point on, it was obvious that radio was in Mark's blood and that he was destined to host the top rated "Mark and Mercedes in the Morning" show heard weekday mornings on Mix 94.1. Mark grew up in Broomsfield, Colorado and graduated from the University of Colorado in 1994, majoring in Business Administration, before landing his first job in radio at Denver's KQKS-FM. Mark is a single father, who's true passion in life is raising his daughter Alexa. Alexa was born in 2003 and is her dad's heart and soul.
Mark and Mercedes have been voted "Best Radio Personalities" for the past eleven consecutive years in the Las Vegas Review Journal's annual Best of Las Vegas Readers Poll. The show has also been named "Best Radio Morning Program" by Las Vegas Weekly, CityLife, Las Vegas CitySearch and Women I Communication (organizers of the annual Las Vegas Electronic Media Awards). Nationally, Mark and Mercedes were named "Best Local Morning Show" by FMQB magazine in 2008 and "Local Air Personalities of the Year" by Billboard and Airplay Monitor magazines in 2000.

20 Bottles to Buy the Boss, Regardless of Inclination
There are two kinds of boss: bosses who drink whiskey, and bosses who don't. Oh, and we suppose there are also bosses who deserve presents and bosses who don't. For the ones who do, we've got bottles the whiskey kind, and the other kind.

The Collaborative Effort of Software and Hardware Teams in Agile Development
Even if agile development has "crossed the chasm" and is becoming a mainstream set of practices, the concentration of literature is about application development. Products that include hardware, firmware and application development teams have special needs that need to be addressed. Janet explains how a shift in thinking helps you make the transition to agile product development. When teams change their mindset from, "How do I create my hardware or software?" to "How can I help the organization deliver a really great product?", the whole product quality ultimately improves. Through her insight and experience, Janet will show you how to take a holistic approach to collaboration between teams and adjust the processes to make it happen.

Results 1 to 13 of 13
Thread: Just lost our 1st to defects
Just lost our 1st to defects
I am 14 weeks pregnant and undergoing the D&C tomorrow. We found out last week our baby had a giant omphalocele (the organs were growing outside the abdominal cavity) The doctor's told us a giant omphalocele as 40% of the trunk of the baby, but ours was 100% the size of our baby's trunk. It was discovered at a nuchal translucency test at 13 weeks. We had a second opinion at children's hospital and today we found out the baby didn't make it due to multiple organ failure. We are very much at a loss today and currently they have inserted laminira sticks into my cervix to help dialate me safely before the D&C. We are devastated as this is our first pregnancy and we have been struggling with infertility for the past year now. We want to try again soon but we are waiting until 3 months to allow my body to heal and our hearts to find some sort of peace. The doctors said that would be safe. I am just worried that we will struggle again for another year or more due to the PCOS. We are not looking forward to this feeling as we had a hard time last time dealing with that stress and now to add this loss on top of it. It's hard as they consider this a 2nd or mid-trimester miscarriage and the body didn't expel it on its own so we have to undergo outpatient surgery. We had waited for 12 weeks as the doctor's told us we were out of the woods on miscarriage and could share our news with everyone. We followed up with a normal screening test and had no idea that they would find this defect (1 in 10,000). We have to wait for genetic testing. We want to have a family and I am not looking forward to struggling with infertility again. How long before people got their cycles back or before they got pregnant again? Any similar experiences?
My baby's defect had nothing to do with PCOS but I feel that the PCOS will complicate us starting over.Married 03/2011

I'm sorry for your loss. >hugs<
I lost my baby around the 10-week mark and as I remember, I got my cycle back around 30 days later (keep in mind my normal cycles are around 35 days so that was early for me). I am not actively TTC right now, and it's been about two years since.
Yes, PCOS will complicate starting over, just as much as it has complicated getting this far. You can choose to let it overshadow your efforts and dog your steps on this journey, or you can choose to deal with it as just another obstacle that you CAN overcome. It may not be in three months, it may not be in three years, but if this is something that you want then you can and WILL do this, with or without PCOS. There are hundreds of us here who are rooting for you, not to mention having the support of your husband, your family, and your friends.
My advice for right now is give yourself time to grieve before focusing on anything else. You will be thankful you did.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was nearly 13 weeks when we found out our babis heart stopped. That was last September... I had to have two D&C's because they didn't get it all the first time. But I ovulated about two weeks after the last D&C. And my period came two weeks later. We started trying soon after although we didn't use meds or anything. And then my doctor put me on Femara last month although it was the weakest dose so this month they added more. I am hoping to get a BFP within the next week but who knows...

Lost our precious baby boy Braxton on September 14 , 2011 @ 12.6 weeks
"An Angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth. And whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for earth.
I am so sorry. It's so hard to deal with any loss and especially after things looked so promising. I also went through a missed miss carriage at 14 weeks. We had already told everyone cause I had good ultrasounds at 6 and 10 weeks so we thought all was ok and them sometime around 12 weeks the baby died. We have no idea why. Since my body still wasn't recognizing that the baby died I opted to induce the miscarriage by drugs to try to avoid surgery. Luckily it worked and was all over the day after we found out the baby had died. I got my period a month later and then the next cycle we did a round of clomid but it didn't work. We did get pregnant the next month though with another round of clomid. So we lost the baby in September and got pregnant again in January and had a beautiful baby girl in October.
thanks everyone. My husband and I are excited to try again but we are more excited to have 3 months of us time too. No temping, or OPK, just fun for us. We are going to take a HPT in about 6 weeks just to make sure my body has stopped producing the pregnancy hormone and keep on an eye my cycles but we will not active TTC until we have at least 2 cycles and agree that we are ready. We are definitely not going to push too far too fast.
I had the D&C today and the hospital was really great. We had to do a surgery as our baby was too big for chemical induction without going through full labor and delivery. They assured me that this was the least emotional way to go at this point. The doctor was even able to give us a memory box with footprints of our angel. My husband and I are so happy to have that as we will never get to hold our baby we have something to hold on to. The pain is minimal thanks to great drugs... Since we found out about the defect last week and knew that our baby probably was going to die we are relieved that we can begin to physically move on. I am encouraged to see success stories afterwards. Thanks for the responses, experiences, and support.Married 03/2011

I am so sorry for your loss. It took a full month for my body to get back on cycle following my D&Cs. It took a lot longer for my heart to begin to heal. Take care of yourself, and take care of DH and your relationship. M/C can put an awful strain on your relationship, but it also offers an opportunity to grow closer together. Understand that you will probably grieve in different ways, and need more/less time to deal with your loss. It's good to hear you are home, resting, and feeling okay. I'm sending hugs!
As far as getting pregnant again, it's a positive thing that you've got your PCOS diagnosis under your belt. You're on Met which will regulate cycles, increase egg quality, and lower chances of m/c again. Enjoy your couple of months w/o TTC stresses. It sounds like you have a wonderful relationshipMe 35 + DH 35 Hidden Content DS Sept '07 & DS May '13

I have the same fear. PCOS complicates most things in my life, and after a Chemical Pregnancy plus the last loss (Abnormal Uterine AND Ectopic), I have lost hope. I'm struggling to find it.
However, my OB pointed out some positive things - that we have ovulated, are being active in getting proper treatment, and can get pregnant. Now it's just getting it to stick. I told my doctor yesterday that I wanted "normalcy". She asked me if I knew how boring "normal" people are... She turned my way of thinking that, yes, PCOS sucks but it makes me appreciate the small successes a bit more than "normal" people. Best of luck to you!

Has Any One Taken The Teas Test?
- 0Jul 15, '07 by indiangirl22I would like to know if anyone has taken the teas test. Also I would like to know what book did you study from any info that you might have.:uhoh21:
- 1Jul 16, '07 by bethinI bought a book from amazon.com. I had several people tell me though to just go to the library and check out the GED study guide. I thought the teas was very easy. Basic math, maybe a few pre-algebra problems like 5=x+1. English was reading a story and then answering question but you couldn't look at the story to answer the questions so make sure you read the stories well and understand what's going on. The test was alot like the GED study guide so if you don't want to buy it you can check it out at the library.
Good luck!
- 0Jul 17, '07 by natrgrrlI found a free Kaplan nursing school entrance exam book. It didn't help much for the TEAS. As a matter of fact, after I took the test I realized that the only studying that was helpful was algebra review and metric conversions. I think I missed every metric conversion question they threw at me and I still got a 90% overall.
I've been out of high school for 12 years and was surprised at the things I was able to recall for the test.
My opinion of the TEAS is that it is a test of the basics of every subject.
There is a study guide from ATI that you can buy from their website. I thought it was WAY too expensive so I didn't buy it but you might be able to find it at the library or ebay.
I hope this helps and good luck.
- 0Dec 7, '07 by ShantaeI know, I know....this topic doesn't have anything to do with an lvn/lpn discussion, but I have to ask something that has been killing me......Has ANYONE out there took the TEAS assessment for entrance into a nursing program???I take the test next friday (12/14) and I dont have a study guide. I'm freakin out here!!!!!! I just want to get an overview of what will be on it and what the questions are like. If anyone have the answer, PLEASE reply and put me out of my misery. Thanks.
P.S- I think I'll go post this on the RN boards too. lol
- 0Dec 7, '07 by kittysayswhatYou can try http://www.testprepreview.com/teas_practice.htm
good luck
- 0Dec 10, '07 by NickiLaughsI can't give you a good assessment because I bought the review book and studied for a month. I got a 92%. (I got all the math right, my best subject).
Good luck!
- 2Dec 10, '07 by lexi917I would really suggest to get the book from atitesting.com. Get their study manual and study from it. It would definitely prepare you for the exam and when you think you're ready, take their online assessment test, then you will have some idea of how their exam is like. It's very basic science, math and english questions. I thought it was too easy though. I wouldn't suggest Kaplan then you'll over prepare yourself for it, especially on subjects you really won't need. There's one A&P question, so if you don't know it, it won't hurt you. You do need to know the basic chemistry. So get the manual it would definitely save you alot of trouble and time. I took mine this past Sunday and I really think it was a breeze. Best of luck.
- 1Dec 14, '07 by antwerpThe practice questions in the suggested ATI study guide were a million times more difficult than the actual Teas test. It's a very do-able test, the advice given to me was not to spend more than a minute-and-a-half on each question. There will be a time-remaining cue at the top of the screen which is very helpful.

In 2009, in conjunction with environmental and political lobbyist organisation Sandbag, we organised the One Giant Leap campaign in order to promote awareness of the need to reduce carbon emissions ahead of the UN Copenhagen Summit of world leaders. The event was and remains to this day the world record for the largest single training day for parkour practitioners around the world, with over 125 cities participating in over 35 countries.
Sunday 20th March saw our impromptu Jam for Japan charity event go down in central London, at the IMAX training spot at Waterloo, and to great success. A whole load of the London practising community came along to help raise funds throughout the day, co-ordinated by Academy regular Kiko Ito, and it was great to see so many faces - old and new - getting involved for this very worthwhile cause.

(CBS) - Next time you're in the hospital, keep an eye out for hygiene practices: Health care workers are more likely to wash their hands if patients are asked to monitor them, according to a new study.
It details an 11-month pilot project at the Family Practice Health Center at Women's College Hospital in Toronto. Patients were asked to observe and record the hand hygiene habits of their health care providers, who were aware that they were being watched.
During the project, nearly 97 percent of the health care workers washed their hands before direct contact with their patients, according to the study in the April issue of the American Journal of Infection Control.
The researchers also found that 58 percent of health care providers said they changed their hand hygiene practices, 88 percent said they were more motivated to wash their hands and 33 percent said they had more conversations with patients about infection prevention and control.
"Involving patients as the monitors of their health care providers' hand hygiene seems like an obvious, simple choice, and yet most hospitals in Canada don't use this method -- many opt for the often costly and time-consuming alternatives such as having their colleagues monitor and audit," study co-lead author Jessica Ng, manager of infection prevention and control at Women's College Hospital, said in a hospital news release.
The pilot project -- adapted from an approach used at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore -- was so successful that it is being implemented in other areas of the hospital, which is believed to be the first Canadian hospital with this type of program.
"The patient-as-observer approach is a practical, accurate and cost-saving alternative to the time- and resource-intensive direct observations by a paid hospital employee," study senior author Dr. Michael Gardam, the hospital's director of infection prevention and control, said in the news release.
"It's a promising tool for championing patient safety and quality improvement, because it supports education, engagement and empowerment of patients to play a more active role in their own health care," he added.

WASHINGTON, December 27, 2013 — After a bipartisan deal struck by Congress, federal employees will soon have the option for a new type of health insurance plan that allows them to select any one other eligible family member to join them for coverage, in a program formally dubbed "Self Plus One."
Typically, previous plans either allowed for a federal employee to choose coverage on an individual basis or on a family basis, with nothing in-between.
This marks the first time the Self Plus One option has been available in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). For years, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) claimed that a Self Plus One option was not financially feasible, and refused to offer it. The deal in Congress however requires OPM to do so.
According to OPM's website, the FEDVIP program previously allowed the option for Dental and Vision benefits, and described it as follows:
"Self Plus One: A Self Plus One enrollment covers you as the enrolled employee or annuitant plus one eligible family member whom you specify. You may choose a Self Plus One enrollment even though you have additional eligible family members, but the additional family members will not be covered under FEDVIP."
It is unclear how the new plan under FEHBP will function, or what rules will be implemented in relationship to it.
A report from the Congressional Research Service explains what FEHBP is and its history:
"The general model of FEHBP has not changed since its inception in 1959. FEHBP was and is a program that allows competing private insurers to offer numerous types of coverage to enrollees within broad federal guidelines.
"The federal government and the employee/annuitant have always shared the cost of the premium, and generally, employees and annuitants have always had access to the same plans at the same cost. However, specific features of FEHBP have been modified, in some cases multiple times, by Congress and OPM.
"For example, eligibility has been expanded to include additional types of federal employees and dependents, the formula for determining the government's share of premiums has changed, and the types of health benefits offered through FEHBP plans have been broadened."

Atheists, you won't find God that way
by Matt Slick
In my many discussions with atheists, I am frequently challenged to prove God exists. I can do it. I think the cosmological and transcendental arguments are proof enough. But, proof is different than persuasion. But, Atheists just can't, or should I say, won't believe God exists.
They can't find God because first of all, they aren't looking; and second they want to avoid him. If you don't believe me, do a test. Find an atheist chat room on the Net and offer any evidence for God you can think of. Then sit back and count the milliseconds before that evidence is attacked. And, you'll notice that the longer you defend your evidence, the more fervent will be the attacks on it and, inevitably, on you. Be prepared for some mockery and ridicule. You'll be told you're stupid, an idiot, and that you believe in mythology. They've got it all figured out. But, don't worry. Their insults are just a bunch of words. Anyway, atheists make it impossible to prove God exists when they have their eyes closed, their fingers in their ears, and they're calling you names.
But that is exactly what we Christians should expect. After all, the Bible tells us in Romans one that's what will happen. Unfortunately for atheists, God isn't found under a microscope, in front of a telescope, behind an X-ray machine, or in a sock drawer. God doesn't bow to the arrogant whims of atheists who demand he show himself to satisfy their criteria. Instead, God is a real person, a really big and powerful person (in a celestial form, that is) who isn't in the habit of snapping to attention when summoned by the disparaging remarks of mere mortals. The Bible says, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble," (James 4:6). Atheists need to rethink their approach and shift their criteria to look for a person--not a thing. They should realize that attacking someone doesn't encourage a relationship. In fact, it's common sense that when you attack someone, mock his character, dare him to do what you want, and insult his person, he will withdraw from you.
Let me reiterate. God, the same as any person, is not in the habit of answering the patronizing challenges of the proud. Yet, atheists treat God as though he were some kind of thing, some object to be judged, some celestial phenomena to be measured in their lab. They want to get their hands on him to dissect him, interrogate him, and satisfy their own requirements to which God should submit. Sorry, atheists, it doesn't work that way. I mean, how can any atheist ever expect to find God with such demanding attitudes? Oh wait, I almost forgot. They don't want to find him, so they construct excuses and ridiculous expectations to keep themselves secure in their anti-God delusion.
At this point, I'm reminded of doubting Thomas. He didn't believe Jesus rose from the dead. He wanted something better than rumor. He wanted cold hard facts. He was a show-me kind of guy in an ancient lab coat, who wasn't going to be taken in by wacko, emotionally unstable Jesus-followers. Here's the account.
"But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I shall see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe," (John 20:24-25).
Now you'd think that Jesus would refuse Thomas' request. But, amazingly, Jesus provided what Thomas asked for.
"And after eight days again His disciples were inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst, and said, "Peace be with you." 27 Then He *said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing." 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:26-28).
Now depending on Thomas' presuppositions, he could interpret the evidence in different ways. Maybe it was all an elaborate hoax, and that Jesus hadn't really died but was plotting with the Jews to overthrow Roman oppression. Perhaps he was looking at the hitherto unknown twin brother of Jesus. On the other hand, maybe the man standing before him was really a holographic projection from the future. Or, it could have been that Thomas was suffering from post-traumatic-crucifixion-of-my-savior disorder. But, still, there Jesus was, standing right in front of him; and it was time for Thomas to make a choice.
But, I have to ask. Why did Jesus appear and grant Thomas' request? Maybe it was because Jesus simply chose to. Or, it could be that his testimony was needed to verify for others that Jesus had risen. Perhaps it was to address future skeptics. Or, maybe it's a little of each. Who knows for sure since we are dealing with the person of Christ and not the predictable result of flipping on a light switch.
So, why did Thomas believe? Was it because there was sufficient evidence on which to make a logical decision of faith? That sounds reasonable. After all, Thomas saw Jesus right there in front of him. He saw the holes in his hands and the wound in his side. You think that'd be enough. But, maybe not. Maybe there is something more to the story. You see, it appears Thomas needed a little help. Notice, that Jesus said something very interesting after showing Thomas the facts. Actually, it was a command. Jesus said, "be not unbelieving, but believing," (v. 27). Jesus commanded that Thomas believe after he saw the facts. Thomas obeyed and believed.
Now, what would an atheist have done?

Lin Plays One-On-One, May Return Against Miami
Jeremy Lin played one-on-one on Saturday and may return for the Knicks' first-round playoff series against Miami.
There has been no official update to Lin's estimated return date, but with Iman Shumpert out after tearing his left ACL and Baron Davis' back ailing, the Knicks may be tempted to activate Lin.
Lin averaged 18.5 points and 7.6 assists in 26 games with the Knicks this season.

A family's musical education
My husband and I enjoy live concerts, which for us usually entails a trip downtown to the National. We most recently went to see a critically acclaimed French electronic band called M83. I'd heard a few of their songs before, but I wasn't sure what to expect of a live show. Lots of freaky lights, I guessed, and people a lot younger than us.
I was right on both counts. Even in the disco-ball darkness, I could tell that we were surrounded by a generation of people closer in age to our 12-year-old son than to us. I doubted some were even able to present a legal ID at the door. And the closer it got to show time, the more the youngsters invaded my personal body space. When the show started, I could hardly concentrate on the music because I was getting elbowed in the ribs by M83's seemingly biggest fan.
My outrage brought on a realization of my advanced age and a resultant questioning of my presence at such a concert. Perhaps I would have been better off going to see the Richmond Symphony, I told myself. I could sit in a comfortable chair and be confident of the irreproachability of my body space's boundaries.
Growing up in the shipyard city of Newport News, I never went to a live concert, unless you count "Annie the Musical." (I still have my t-shirt.) My high school years were spent over-listening to the likes of George Michael, Janet Jackson, and the dynamic duo Milli Vanilli. I was mired in Top-40 stickiness when I went off to college, where I couldn't walk down my dormitory hallway without hearing a different genre of music coming from each and every room.
And thus began my education – some might say the most important education of all.
While at college, I also had the good fortune of living so close to Charlottesville's Trax, where the Dave Matthews Band played its hearts out every Tuesday night in the early 1990s. There, in that smoky and beer-spilled room, I learned to appreciate the sweaty tangibility of a live show.
I could get up close to the stage and watch Boyd Tinsley's bare arm muscles force soaring melodies from his violin. I could watch the sweat drip off Dave Matthew's chin. I could watch the arc of Carter Beauford's drumsticks in order to anticipate the next song. I could sing and dance along with the crowd when they struck up "Lie in our Graves" and "Ants Marching." I could trip, and be tripped; it was all part of the fun.
Through the ensuing years, I became a bit of a music snob, eschewing pop music as meaningless filler. If I so much as heard a beat-box, I switched the station as if my ears had been burned with a curling iron.
And no surprise, my oldest children, ages 12 and 9, like Top-40 pop music pretty much exclusively. It's quite strange, but I've found myself enjoying some of it too, especially in the afternoons when I need a coffee but I'm stuck in the car chauffeuring my children to and fro.
Most of the songs scream of youth and insist on living in the moment (albeit at times inappropriately), but I believe that's something we all could try to do a little more often.
Through my children's eyes, I am now reliving and relearning pop culture. But I also want to teach them that there is more to music beyond the "40."
Over their initial protestations, I do my best to play different kinds of music while we're in the car. At home, we play what we like, and the kids inevitably start to dance and sing along. We take them to Richmond Symphony concerts, folk festivals, Landmark Theater musicals, local music events. We show them concerts on TV. And much to their chagrin, we insist on piano lessons.
When they are a little older, my husband and I want to take them to rock concerts with us. We might embarrass them, with our aging faces, comfortable shoes, and insistence on respecting personal body space. But I firmly believe that enjoying music with one another –whether it's Taylor Swift or M83 – is one of the best things parents and children can do together, at all ages and stages of life.

Safe Kids of Georgia
Safe Kids of Georgia
In 1988, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign was founded by the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The Campaign initially selected ten target cities to develop coalitions with Atlanta being one of the ten cities. Georgia was the only state coalition at that time.
SAFE KIDS of Georgia had its inaugural meeting in May of 1988. Governor Joe Frank Harris proclaimed May 16-22 as SAFE KIDS Week in Georgia. The program committee structure was formed consisting of 49 organizations and agencies with one common bond--preventing childhood injuries. The program committee continues to meet once a month and now represents over 80 organizations.
The initial lead agencies were the Governor's Commission on Children and Youth and the Council for Children. In 1990, SAFE KIDS of Georgia became incorporated and elected its board of directors. Also in 1990, Egleston Children's Hospital became the lead agency for SAFE KIDS of Georgia.
Original financial sponsors of SAFE KIDS of Georgia were The Kroger Company and Egleston Children's Hospital, with a total first year budget of $13,000. Today, Egleston supports SAFE KIDS of Georgia with an Executive Director, Associate Director and an operating budget of $60,000. Additionally, Egleston provides injury prevention literature as well as other resources to SAFE KIDS of Georgia Coalition members at no cost.
SAFE KIDS of Georgia began with coalitions in DeKalb, Gwinnett, Dalton, Augusta, Savannah, and Brunswick and has grown to 47 coalitions as of January 1999. In 1989, SAFE KIDS of Georgia received the National SAFE KIDS Campaign "Best Coalition Award" and more recently was recognized as a model prototype for future state-wide coalitions.
In 1996, SAFE KIDS of Georgia gained international recognition from the World Health Organization as the first Cooperating Helmet Initiative Program in the United States. SAFE KIDS of Georgia joins the Childhood Injury Prevention Service of England's Royal Berkshire Hospital and the Helmet Initiative Program of Sweden as model programs of excellence seeking to prevent brain injury by promoting bicycle helmet usage. A key factor in this recognition is SAFE KIDS of Georgia's instrumental role in passing Georgia's bicycle helmet law in 1993, the most comprehensive law in the country at the time. Since the passage of this legislation, SAFE KIDS of Georgia has distributed over 10,000 helmets to underserved children.
SAFE KIDS of Georgia has proven it takes a willing attitude and winning spirit to make a program grow strong enough to reach its goals.
What is a SAFE KIDS Coalition?
Coalitions have been defined as "a union of people and organizations working to influence outcomes on a specific problem." SAFE KIDS coalitions exemplify this definition.
The specific problem SAFE KIDS focuses on is unintentional childhood injury.
The union of people and organizations range from health departments, law enforcement, nurses, doctors, teachers, principals, fire fighters, EMTs, business leaders, politicians to other community members concerned about the safety of children.
A coalition is a way for each group to bring their strengths together to form a unified and more powerful group to spread the injury prevention message. Being a part of SAFE KIDS benefits each member of the group by making more resources available to everyone.
Coalitions also offer public awareness for each group involved. Since SAFE KIDS is a partnership, all groups involved receive recognition for involvement.
What Does a SAFE KIDS of Georgia Coalition DO?
Preventable injuries are the #1 killer of children under the age of 14; claiming more lives than all childhood diseases combined. Each year 6,300 children are killed and 120,000 are permanently disabled from an injury that could have been prevented. The goal of SAFE KIDS is to reduce these numbers through local grassroots coalitions.
The focus of SAFE KIDS of Georgia is the top five preventable killers of children under the age of 14:
- Motor Vehicle Safety (including bicycle and pedestrian safety)
- Drowning
- Fire/Burns
- Poisoning/Choking
- Falls
The goal of a coalition is to teach parents and children about child safety. Local coalitions implement safety programs (examples below), teach safety to school children, teach safety to parent groups, and distribute child safety equipment to families in need.

Celebrating 176 years of Texas Independence
While Texas Independence Day celebrates the anniversary of Texas declaring independence from Mexico, 176 years later it's also a chance to celebrate the bold streak of independence that's always been an important and unique part of our state's culture.
Our brand of fierce self-determination and pride makes Texans a special breed, and it's a big reason our state has always been a hotbed for innovators, entrepreneurs and others who want to try things their own way. Whether they're figuring out new ways to bring energy from the ground, steering humankind to the moon or pioneering a new treatment for cancer, you'll find Texans aggressively - some might say stubbornly - taking a chance on their own abilities and ideas.
Those sorts of bold initiatives undertaken in Texas have led to a better jobs, better lives and a better world for all of us.
So this Texas Independence Day, be sure to remember the brave individuals who put their name to the Texas Declaration of Independence at Washington-on-the-Brazos in March of 1836, as well as everyone who has lived their lives in that same revolutionary spirit in the many years since.

It's one of the most quoted lines from the classic 1977 movie "Slapshot."
After using a stick to demonstrate slashing and other punishable offenses on the reporter's body, goalie Denis Lemieux (Yvon Barrette)—in a heavy French accent—says: "You do that, you go to the box, you know? … And … you feel shame, you know? And then, you get free."
Ah, freedom.
Every penalized player yearns for it the second the door inside hockey's "timeout" room slams shut. RedEye asked Blackhawks Bryan Bickell, Brandon Bollig and Andrew Shaw all about the "sin bin."
What's going through your mind when you're in the penalty box?
Bryan Bickell: Usually just, "Don't score, don't score, don't score, don't score," pretty much. It depends. If you take a bad penalty, like a hooking call in the offensive zone, then you're in the box, and if there's a shot coming up on the other team's power play you're just clenching your teeth. If it's a penalty that denied them a good opportunity to score, I don't think you feel as bad—but you still don't want them to score.
Brandon Bollig: It just depends on what you're in there for. If you have a nice, long, spirited fight and it gets the crowd and your team all pumped up … then you're obviously hoping that, if your team scores, it will at least help create some momentum off what you've done. If you're in there for a penalty, especially a bad one that you could have avoided, the whole time you're just kind of praying they don't score.
Andrew Shaw: What's going through my mind is, "I hope to heck they don't score." It'd be scary taking a penalty, they score and then coming back to the bench and the guys are upset or the coaches are upset with you. But, you know, the [off-ice official] who's in there is always pretty nice.
Do you chat with the guy who works in the penalty box?
Bickell: Oh yeah, the guy in there … I don't know his name [at the United Center], actually, but he's been here for years. I should know his name. I've been in there a couple times. But we talk about the game or I'll say, "Oh, what did you think about that penalty?"
Bollig: Sometimes they're a little too chatty and sometimes they don't say a word. You also have different fans around you and you just hope if you're in there for five minutes, you get that whistle right away [after the penalty expires], so you can get out.
Andrew Shaw: If it's coincidental and I take a guy with me, I'm in a decent mood. But if I take a stupid penalty, I'm always upset with myself and I usually just shut 'er down. They're pretty nice, though. They're always talkative and especially here, you get to know them pretty good … well, hopefully not as good as you want, but they all seem like great guys. They're always asking if you want water or need a towel or ice for the knuckles if you just got into a scrap or something.
What's it like with the fans when you're in the box?
Bickell: Some fans start yelling in the cracks of the glass or, like, in Vancouver they have those Green Men. I was in the box once in Vancouver and they were pumping the weights [pretends to flex biceps in exaggerated fashion]. I try to not look at 'em. I can see them in the peripheral vision doing stuff over there, but I don't want to encourage 'em. Plus they've got the Jumbotron on the Green Men, and if I start looking at them I might start laughing, and I just want to stay focused on the game.
Bollig: That's just part of playing on the road and I think it makes it more fun when fans get involved … but only to a certain extent. It's usually pretty funny, though. I probably can't repeat it for the newspaper, but some of the stuff they come up with is pretty funny.
Shaw: Thank God I haven't been in the "sin bin" in Vancouver. I've seen some of the stuff on TV. I think it's pretty hysterical they do it for every game. I'd probably just look at 'em and smile.

A bomb attack in Pakistan's business capital Karachi killed at least seven people, police officials say.
The blast on Wednesday morning targeted Maqbool Baqir, a senior judge at the high court of the southern province of Sindh, where Karachi is the main city, the police said. Officials said that at least nine people, including Baqir, were wounded in the blast.
The bomb detonated as the judge drove past with his security detail. Baqir was rushed to hospital with critical injuries and his driver was killed in the blast, which took place in the Burns Road area, officials said.
"According to initial information, seven people have been killed," Sindh information minister Sharjeel Memon told reporters.
"I can confirm that Justice Maqbool Baqir is critically injured," Salman Syed, a police official said, adding that nine people in all had been wounded by the blast.
"At the moment we can't determine whether it was a suicide attack or a planted bomb," a senior police official Ameer Sheikh told AFP.
Baqir serves as a judge in special "anti-terrorism courts" set up in Pakistan to pass down quick punishments to convicted "terrorists".
Karachi, a city of 18 million people, contributes 42 percent of Pakistan's gross domestic product (GDP) but is rife with murder and kidnappings and has been plagued for years by ethnic, sectarian and political violence.
Ehsanullah Ehsan, the spokesperson of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, claimed responsibility for the bombing.
"We attacked the judge in Karachi as he was taking decisions against Shariah and he was harmful for mujahedeen,'' he told the Associated Press news agency in a telephone call from an unknown location.

APLU's Commission on Innovation, Competitiveness, and Economic Prosperity (CICEP) was created to help leaders of APLU member universities—including presidents and chancellors, senior research officers, provosts, other officers and their staffs—plan, assess, and communicate their institutions' work in local and regional economic development. Our new Strategic Framework presents CICEP goals and operational objectives to reach these goals.
GOAL 1: CICEP will lead APLU efforts to promote, facilitate, support, and communicate about university economic engagement. GOAL 2: CICEP will be a nationally recognized resource for sharing best practices in economic engagement among public research universities' officers and their teams. Themes for best practices will include leadership engagement, innovation, entrepreneurship, technology transfer, commercialization, education and talent development, and cultivation of place in regions. CICEP will also coordinate development of new tools and resources for public research universities to better measure their activities and contributions to the local, state, regional, and national economy.GOAL 3: CICEP will act as a key convener and collaborator to develop strong connections and partnerships among leadership of APLU member universities and with external partners from industry, government, and other science, research, and economic development focused organizations.GOAL 4: In consultation with university leaders and staff members responsible for economic engagement efforts, CICEP will develop communication strategies to bring greater clarity and visibility to university economic development work. Strategies will emphasize deepening industry, government, and public commitment to our universities and their role in economic prosperity.CICEP will remain flexible on the specific objectives it pursues in order to be responsive to shifts in APLU and institutional ecosystems, and to be opportunistic in developing resources and relationships to advance our goals. Operational objectives and activities will continue to be discussed, identified, and pursued through ongoing conversations between the CICEP Chair, APLU staff, CICEP Executive Committee, and participants in CICEP committees and working groups.

A iOS hacker has pulled apart Game Center and figured out how to submit faulty scores for any game. Well, the developer has demonstrated a video, about a new upcoming Cydia tweak HackCenter, which will allow you to submit any score for any game you want via the iPhone.

|I thought the section at the top of p2 was the crux. We linked the two pitches with a 60m rope but we needed to simulclimb for about the last 20 feet. We did a single rappel of the route with a pair of 60m ropes. Both pitches felt like 5.8 to me.
