Jay Beckwith, playground safety expert, suggests rubber safety surfaces increase injuries on the playground. Do you agree? Join the discussion.
Rusty Keeler reports - Well, we've done it again. Another successful and fun Fire and Ice Festival at the Anarchy Zone and Ithaca Children's Garden. That's right: we need play in winter just as much as summer (maybe more - winters in upstate NY are long and cold!)
The discovery that we can get ourselves to play (or playfulness, or find some way to have something like fun with it all) – almost whenever we want, almost with whatever we feel like playing – is profound and empowering.
Over the past few weeks a series of comments and questions related to the CPSI examination process have surfaced on one of the National Recreation and Park Association's (NRPA) social/professional networks appropriately named, NRPA Connect. As I reviewed the questions and comments, the primary concern or issue is the requirement to re-certify by...
We are in Clemson, South Carolina for US Play Coalition's 2015 Conference on the Value of Play! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for live updates.
I recently posted this image of the ThudGuard helmet on the Linkedin Playground Safety: Balancing Play Value & Injury Prevention group and asked what the members thought about it. After the predictable bout of mocking, the discussion became quite interesting.
A Superintendent of Parks for a municipal government, shares his experience with playground design. Designing a playground? This is a must read.
We are so excited to be a sponsor of US Play Coalition's 2015 Conference on the Value of Play. This conference is an opportunity to share how others implement innovative strategies to engage their community in play.
There is a myth that work and play are entirely separate from one another. We work, and then we play. Work hard, play hard. Get one done efficiently so you have time for the other. But what about the creativity needed to be most efficient at work?
Over the past year there have been many articles written about the impact of screen time on children. Such concerns are nothing new. In the '50s, many of the same dire predictions where rampant over the impact of TV. Interestingly, some of those predictions, such as kids becoming more sedentary on one hand and more informed on the other, turn out...
Trying to make something fun implies that in your heart of hearts you believe it isn't. Which is why it never works. Not in the long run. Think of the last diet you were on. I know, you probably did your best to make it fun, to, how they say, "gamify" it into a long-term commitment. Maybe you counted calories, or set goals, or joined a club of...
The Voice of Play Board of Advisors, comprised of industry experts, supports IPEMA's efforts to increase the quality and quantity of children's play and playgrounds. Teri Hendy brings extensive knowledge of the standards and guidelines that apply to the playground industry.
John McGovern gives a clear understanding of the accessibility requirements for playgrounds as directed by the Americans With Disabilities Act. How do the rules apply to local government playgrounds, privately owned playgrounds, church playgrounds, and HOA playgrounds?
2014 has been another great year for inclusive play. For those sceptics that say that inclusive play is a fad, the numbers do not agree with you. I estimate that just over 100 new inclusive playgrounds opened in United States and Canada this year.
My recent article for Playground Magazine dealt with the materials technology of playgrounds. One of the materials I mentioned was the trend toward using more naturals such as logs, plants, and rocks, etc. I needed a good image of a playscape to illustrate this and reached out to a Linkedin group I belong to, Natural Playgrounds. In addition to a...
In my last column I cited some news headlines that reported a child's death on a playground and some resulting actions of removing playground equipment to avoid injury.
If you ask most dog owners, they will say "My dog is a better athlete than I am," and they usually follow it up with the statement "And I really need to get in shape."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Duffy the Disney Bear is a Disney character that can be found at the Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park in California, Walt Disney World in Florida, Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. As the story goes, Minnie Mouse created Duffy for Mickey Mouse as he was packing for a long voyage at sea. Duffy is available for purchase and at "meet and greets." Duffy is seen a lot in the Disney Parks where kids carry them around,
Although originally created for and briefly sold at the Disney World Once Upon a Toy shop in Orlando in 2002, Duffy only became popular after OLC executives adopted the character, gave it a name and a backstory, and aggressively marketed it in the Tokyo DisneySea park. Japanese fans took to it and some of them started to carry around multiple Duffy plush bears during their visits to the park. The My Friend Duffy show replaced a Donald Duck-themed show at the American Waterfront Cape Cod Cook-Off hamburger restaurant in 2010.
Duffy was previously known as "The Disney Bear" with an entirely different backstory. The original story found on the tag of the first released bear's ear said that Mickey brought his favorite bear to Magic Kingdom Park. Mickey sat in front of the castle wishing that he had a friend with him to share the excitement and magic of the park. Tinker Bell appears and sprinkles pixie dust on Mickey's bear, bringing it to life. Mickey then hugs the bear and a Mickey-shape appears on the bear's face, forever bonding Mickey and his new friend.
Duffy the Disney Bear joined the American Disney parks on October 14, 2010. He was welcomed at Epcot in Walt Disney World and Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland Resort.[1] He then joined Hong Kong Disneyland Resort on November 19, 2010. He was welcomed at Main Street, U.S.A. in Hong Kong Disneyland Park.[2] He joined Disneyland Paris on June 2011. He made his official debut in Disneyland Paris at Disneyland Park on November 7, 2011, for its holiday season. He has his own character greeting area and photo location in Town Square. He has a character greeting location at Disneyland Hotel and at Disney's Newport Bay Club Hotel. He participates in the daily daytime parade "Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade" in the Christmas unit "Dreams of Christmas". He is also at the daily nighttime show "Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony".
Duffy is featured in the video game Kinect Disneyland Adventures, where players can interact with him although he doesn't speak.
Duffy is unique among Disney characters in that he was not first featured in a Disney movie or TV show until he made his television debut in the 2010 Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade. He also is on his own Bedtime Story Channel in Walt Disney World.
On 13 December 2012 Duffy debuted in the Disney Store in the U.K., as well as the Disney Stores in the United States.

You can't Trace Illusion. -Bulbapedia answered May 2, 2012 by Ninja Oh... sorry for someone reason i missed the part about Illusion. Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Zoroark still keeps its ability while Illusioning.

I've seen that page and it didn't include the CPC. We need it for an external stats program. (We use the average cpc now.)
That is correct.
And...you have to wait a few days to get accurate information. About 1 day after a click occurs Google is pretty accurate as to the pricing and such but I have seen changes to click information several days after the click. Sometimes changes happen on the cpc but the click itself can go away several days later if Google decides it was fraud. It's not easy to sync up with Google and you will drive yourself crazy trying to sync up an external app in real time :-/

Bill Gates: Microsoft, partners working to combat iPod
Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates said today that Microsoft and its hardware partners plan to continue working on new digital media devices to challenge the iPod's dominance.
"Apple has done a fantastic job with the iPod," Gates told high school students at the company's annual Minority Student Day. "We are talking with partners about how we, working with those partners, can make even better music players. We've got some in the market today. I'd say in total they have about 20 percent market share, which is lower than we like, and so we're seeing where we can come together to make a device that's less expensive and connects in better ways, does photos and videos in better ways.

Palm was successful until people replaced their Palm Pilots with cell phones that do the same thing and are smaller. In this case DAP's are here to stay, it seems. Anyway, I'm excited. MP3 Players can only get better as the result of increased competition.

To quote from the article, Bill says: "I don't think what's out in the market today is the final answer"
He is right, an DAP and video player (like the iPod video) is not the "final answer" for me. The "final answer" device for me would be to have all of the iPod video capabilities wrapped up in a cell phone and is also an FM tuner and voice recorder and can record line in. Also my "final answer" device would allow me to use my cell phone service to download all of my music and video content that I currently own. For example, allow it to wirelessly download from an online storage account. Instead, today I have to hook up my iPod to my computer to refresh or update my content.
So Bill, if you can create a final answer device like I described above, yeah, then you might be out Apple. But, what will more than likely happen is that Apple will think of this first and create my dream "final answer" device before you do.

yeah, right billy boi, we've heard that before, and all you and your bitches, I mean 'partners' have managed to come up with is crrrrapp. ipod is still kicking all ass. numerous 'mp3 players' makers have given up, dell has dropped its hdd based versions, (to bring something else later?), 40% of cars sold in US will have built-in iPod support this year, a galaxy of iPod accessories, radio stations, web sites, its the favorite give-away prize to win, 1 Billyun songs sold coming up in a month, adding more video content sources, and on and on. basically tons of momentum. on the other hand…Real Networks? please. Crapster? asymptotically approaching zero. Yahoo? I don't think so. MusicMatch? who are they.
However, there is NO reason Apple+iPod+iTunes+iTMS CAN'T be taken down. Apple HAS to keep making the shots, 2 and 3 pointers, they HAVE to stay ahead of the pack because the pack remains relentless and hungry, they don't have no room for major mistakes, but they know this game already, and they know how to play it and play it well.
However, MickeyShaft hates seeing Apple get some cred, and that bit about Apple surpassing Dell's market cap sticks in their collective craw. Notice whose lawyer is doing the frivolous negative publicity lawsuit about Apple's alleged "design flaw" and "possible hearing loss"? MickySoft's own. He is also behind a previous anti Apple/iPod suit. Steve Berman: <http://www.ipoding.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2273>
This is how these pigs "compete". They can't make a better product so they seek to slime and damage.
Gates said about making them cheaper, and like they behind the scenes funded SCO's suit against the world, they could just as easily help fund makers' efforts to undercut Apple on price, a la Dell "Walmart of PCs". Maybe a big reason Apple has remained free to succeed on their merits is that Gates hasn't figured out a way to leverage their Windows monopoly. They can put their crapware on every pc sold, they can default to certain other online music stores, (windows only, of course), they can subsidizecheap ass players, they can maybe, if they work together really hard, get all this to work as smoothly as Apple's triumvirate, but I don't think they can surpass, nor keep up.
Gates and emBalmer like to mouth off and say things about what they're going to do, someday, in the future, but never have details, and never come up with what they blathered about. The thing is some people will listen to them and believe them and that's all they're hoping for by these statements.
Posted by LeonardSmalls on February 11, 2006 at 11:58 PM (CST)
One thing MS could do is help OEMs to put a "free" player in the box with every new pc sold. That is the same "bundling" method they have used with software all these years. It's their tried and true way of competing.
Don't think that MS is going to bring competition. They won't. They don't. They don't compete—they cheat. The only time they put effort into actually competing on the merits of the product in the market place is when they have to, but they will still also cheat. It is in their DNA. They don't see it as cheating, rather just simply being clever. They will tie your shoelaces together before the race, let the air out of your tires, payoff the refs in the game, pay the owner of the ball field to use turf that works better with their shoes, all perhaps not exactly illegal, (unless you are a monopoly doing this to get into another market), so they see it as fair and this is how they think they compete.
So don't think that MS will bring good old fashioned may-the-best-product-win competition, they won't. They fear that, and they don't know how to do it. They will bring Monopoly Power and try to cheat their way up. That my friends is The Microsoft Way.

Hey, looks like someone here was right! Check this out:
This seriously pisses me off. I'm sure there will be load of PC losers out there who will switch from iTunes to this. It's totally a rip off, and I'm wondering if Apple can do anything about it using its iTunes copyright. What do you think?
Posted by Adam on February 12, 2006 at 2:59 AM (CST)
This seriously pisses me off.
So what if it cribs off some of iTunes' art? Everyone KNOWS it's not iTunes, and even if they don't have a clue, people will figure it out soon enough after downloading and installing.
Frankly I think SongBird will attract the Winamp crowd instead of iTunes users, especially if it doesn't interface well, if at all, with an iPod. And Apple's certainly not going to let it tie into iTMS, so that's two strikes against it already.
I admit though that I like the black, Firefox tech tie-in, wider media format support, potential for customization, and that it's open-source. Can't have too much open-source, as far as I'm concerned.
Posted by flatline response on February 12, 2006 at 6:29 AM (CST)
Interesting link to songbirdnest.com but it includes the following exclusions:
"We will also be able to play music played from the iTunes Music Store if Apple provides an API to their FairPlay DRM" (so they can't now) and
"We don't have support for any devices yet but we are working on it."
So apart from the fact that it can't play iTMS songs and it won't connect to an iPod, it's a winner!
Apple aren't known for releasing their intellectual property as open source so I don't don't expect them to give up their iTunes customer base to help out those poor starving Microsoft engineers any time soon…

Most likely what microsoft has planned is to copy the iPod as much as possible, without getting sued. Then to top it all off put an FM tuner on it. Then say that it's better. That's what every other company has done.
I don't see any other company coming out with anything new. Where is my ability to stream satellite radio on the go. Where is my gapless playback or for the very least crossfade? Where is my ability to sync my player wirelessly to my computer? Those are three things that other companies can add to their players that would give them an edge over the iPod. But do they do it? No!
They just slap on useless out dated fm. They just slap on a voice recorder that is equally useless for most consumers. Then say I have more features and I should be better. How about giving me something new? Something that I really want. Things that consumers have been begging for. If Micosoft is smart they won't just come out with yet another mp3 player that has an fm tuner, recording abilities, can play movies, works with subscription services, is cheaper than the ipod and is in a pretty package. The consumer is tired of just little tweaks and mods to the some old boring standard. Give us something risky. Push the envolope.
I want some cometition. Right now I'm bored as can be. No one's doing jack $hit right now. If microsoft thinks they can really bring it then I want them too. However if they aren't going to break the mold then they should just sit it out. The world is filled with enough sub par mp3 players.

No ones gonna buy a microsoft product they all stink the big one… like windows XP what a waste of moolah. and the xbox 360 what a great product…lol, ROFL, no im joking its not a great product.

You do realize that this is the umpteenth time in the past two to three years that Gates has tried to topple iPod's dominance with his Microsoft Mafia of Mediocre MP3 devices. He's starting to sound like a broken record. Here are some other things he's failed to topple:
Sony PlayStation
No one's knees are gonna buckle over this.
Posted by Frank Z on February 12, 2006 at 7:33 PM (CST)
I think Bill Gates really doesn't care as much. He doesn't feel the need to prove himself anymore. *cough* Richest man in the world. *cough* Most generous philanthropist ever. Jobsie feels that need to prove himself, which i think he pretty much has. Anybody else feel the "new" iPods aren't improving much? This question is directed to non-Apple fanboys. So please, hold your breath.
Posted by Jegero on February 12, 2006 at 10:33 PM (CST)
Jegero asked if anyone felt ipods are not improving much. I think Apple is falling behind. I have an ipod G4 20GB. However, my most recent mp3 player purchase was a Sansa m230 for $40 last November because I wanted an FM tuner/radio in an MP3 player for the gym. The televisions at the gym will broadcast their audio through FM frequency, so you can tune in, and listen to football games on the weekend, or whatever they have broadcast. It is great, and yes, and FM tuner is now becoming the deal breaker for me when I consider a future mp3 player. Yeah, you can mention that $59 FM radio accesory that Apple put out in January, but that thing is a joke, I don't want anymore accessories! All of my albums are in MP3 format and I have never bought any music from iTunes because I hate being locked in (the same with Windows Januse wma too). I do use iTunes to subscribe to podcasts, but all of the podcasts I'm subscribed to are MP3 format anyway.
Face it, the iPod has fallen behind. The new Sansa e200 series looks awesome from looking at the previous articles in ilounge. Because of my experience with Sansa so far, I'm hooked on flash based players, I love the battery life. If Apple doesn't start beefing up the features on their flash-based players, then I'm switching over to Sansa for good.

To reply to Jegero, No I don't think Apple is losing it's touch. If people look at the iPod line it isn't THAT innovative or THAT revolutionary. Most the changes through out the generation have been natural progression. Make it thinner, more capacity, add color and then video. That's not innovative that's just the natural flow. What's inovative is the click wheel. However Apple is a smart corporation. Their success lies in that. For example the iTunes and the iPod combo. That's not innovation that's just smart corporate thinking. The move with the nano. Once again smart corporate thinking. Mass advertisment…you get the point. They haven't lost any of that smart corporate thinking.
The public has made the iPod out to be something it's not. Every iPod has been a test product. Messing around with different features to see what's best. As with the 5G. They were testing the market to see if they should come out with a real video player. Of course it could have been better. However if it had been, less people with 5Gs would feel the need to switch over to the soon to be video iPod. People need to think of Apple like it truly is, a corporation that just wants your money.
The competition has always been right along with the iPod. Just in the shadows. There are better products out there and always have been. People are just now starting to realize this, since now more people are buying mp3 players and looking for other options. Apple still provides the total package. They still provide stunning looks and they still provide a reliable thoughtful product. None of that's changed.
Also just because a player doesn't have FM radio doesn't mean it's fallen behind. FM radio is dying. There is internet radio, satellite radio (9 million customers) and of course people now have thier whole msic collection on them. All of these options are commercial free and have more variety than FM. The iPod is about moving forward. FM is not where the furture is at.

Why would anyone use aac? I would never just lockmyself in with a particular company. I use higher quality Mp3 formats. If someone wants to come over and grab a cd of mine on my computer go for it. Why lock yourself in?
Posted by Goodlovin in chicago on February 14, 2006 at 12:35 AM (CST)
yeah right. all you have to do is look at Windows Media Player, quite possibly the worst piece of software ever created. It's embarrassing how inferior it is compared to the Quicktime player and format. Now imagine that as the backbone video software on this so called microsoft ipod killer.
bill gates' greed and arrogance never ceases to amaze me. Can he really be so diluted to think Microsoft has every created or will ever create anything as functional and cool as Apple?

Mammalian alpha4 phosphoprotein, the homolog of yeast Tap42, is a component of the mammalian target-of-rapamycin (mTOR) pathway that regulates ribogenesis, the initiation of translation, and cell-cycle progression. alpha4 is known to interact with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2Ac) and to regulate PP2A activity. Using alpha4 as bait in yeast two-hybrid screening of a human K562 erythroleukemia cDNA library, EDD (E3 isolated by differential display) E3 ubiquitin ligase was identified as a new protein partner of alpha4. EDD is the mammalian ortholog of Drosophila hyperplastic discs gene (hyd) that controls cell proliferation during development. The EDD protein contains a PABC domain that is present in poly(A)-binding protein (PABP), suggesting that PABP may also interact with alpha4. PABP recruits translation factors to the poly(A)-tails of mRNAs. In the present study, immunoprecipitation/immunoblotting (IP/IB) analyses showed a physical interaction between alpha4 and EDD in rat Nb2 T-lymphoma and human MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. alpha4 also interacted with PABP in Nb2, MCF-7 and the human Jurkat T-leukemic and K562 myeloma cell lines. COS-1 cells, transfected with Flag-tagged-pSG5-EDD, gave a (Flag)-EDD-alpha4 immunocomplex. Furthermore, deletion mutants of alpha4 were constructed to determine the binding site for EDD. IP/IB analysis showed that EDD bound to the C-terminal region of alpha4, independent of the alpha4-PP2Ac binding site. Therefore, in addition to PP2Ac, alpha4 interacts with EDD and PABP, suggesting its involvement in multiple steps in the mTOR pathway that leads to translation initiation and cell-cycle progression.

With the entry of Aarti's ex-husband, Prashant, the 'Zee TV' show by Shashi-Sumeet Mittal Productions show, "Punar Vivah" is all set to witness dramatic and tensed moments. Prashant has come with the intentions of taking Aarti back, who now is madly in love with Yash. All this time Yash has maintained a silence over their relationship.
The upcoming episodes will see, Yash developing feelings for Aarti and confessing the same to her. He will be unaware of Prashant's return. Aarti too reciprocates his feelings. She will later inform Yash about Prashant's return.
On the other hand Prashant too will try to win back Aarti's love and will be shown wooing her. But Yash will stand by Aarti and support her. Will Aarti and Yash's relationship withstand the testing times or will it lead to further complications? The answers lay in the future episodes of "Punar Vivah".

With a smaller budget and increasing demand comes the challenge of maximising efficiencies and, at the same time, improving service standards. This is the dilemma facing any authority that has responsibility for the delivery of adult social care services.
As authorities seek to balance laudable service targets with ever-tightening purse strings, the demand for new ways of doing things to meet the evolving needs of citizens is relentless.
Traditional budget top slicing and trying to superimpose innovation on the status quo is no longer an option. Effective innovation is dependent on an environment and culture that's receptive to the principles of change and service transformation. It is also imperative that outcomes are considered not just operations. When this is achieved, the results and service improvements are startling - as demonstrated by a number of pioneering programmes.
In Hertfordshire, for example, the county council recognised that its desire to be the council of the future required a new approach that would enable people to access services in very different ways.
Defining a self-reliant citizen strategy and forging a strategic partnership with Serco has enabled the authority to realise its objectives to offer simplicity and choice to citizens in accordance with the government's personalisation agenda and to manage demand and budgets. But the effective delivery of true service innovation also owes a great deal to the principles of involvement, engagement and shared responsibilities throughout the entire supply chain.
For example, both the county council and Serco are working closely with Goldsborough, the council's enablement provider, and @UK, the company providing the technology for the council's new e-marketplace.
The online marketplace, which allows individuals to purchase their own care, is the only system that is fully integrated into the credit card network and able to store card details within the marketplace. This means that it fully meets with the personalisation requirement, vitally important because the target of 100 per cent individual budgets has been reduced to 70 per cent by April 2013. The e-marketplace is expected to be the only system available prior to the deadline that fully meets the requirements.
To ensure effective three-way working relationships applied at all times, the council formed a partnership integration board so that all the right people from all partners know each other well enough to catch anything that could go wrong.
In addition, a partnership and quality team has been formed to maintain a citizen focus at all times with responsibility to promote positive customer experiences, excellent performance and high quality outcomes. It's this core spirit of engagement that provides a fertile environment for new operational efficiencies and service innovation.

Yep, Kirby Hocutt Is Leaving Miami for Texas Tech
Categories: Sports
"I am deeply disappointed that after only two-and-a-half years of a very successful tenure as leader of our athletics programs, Kirby Hocutt has decided to accept the AD position at Texas Tech.We did everything we could to convince him to stay, but in the end it was an intensely personal decision.I thank Kirby for his integrity, leadership, and dedication to the university," read a statement released by UM President Donna Shalala.
Besides a likely increase in pay, Hocutt was also apparently eager to return to his homestate of Texas. He grew up in Sherman, Texas which is about five hours from Tech's Lubbock campus.
The Herald reports that a desire to be closer to his parents may have also played a part. To which we say, come on Hocutt, you could have just moved your parents here. What old people don't want to move to South Florida. Half this state is dedicated to old people, jeez.
Hocutt's biggest impact on UM was the firing of football coach Randy Shannon and the subsequent hiring of Al Golden. Though he'll leave some unfinished business behind: most notably the fate of men's basketball coach Frank Haith.
Hocutt won't be the only guy with Miami experience at Texas Tech. Football coach Tommy Tuberville is a former Hurricanes defensive coordinator.
No word on who will replace Hocutt at UM.
Unsurprisingly, cranky CBS Sports writer Dennis Dodd has already taken the news as an opportunity to shit all over Miami.

Win a Chuck E. Cheese package to try the new "Say Cheese! app
Stephanie McCratic | On 29, Apr 2013
Honestly, I'm a single mom of a two year little girl and Iv haven't taken my daughter there yet . I just don't make enough extra money for things like that right now. I shared on FaceBook as Paula Marie and on twitter as @lilymuffin840
Thanks for the chance to win… -
I have been to Chuck E Cheese's 2-3 times in the past year.
I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/HollyStormEtsy/status/397070179965730816
hstorm799{at}gmail{dot}com -
I have been exactly 0 times in the last year. We used to go all of the time when my son was little, but we moved to a smaller town and didn't really know what was around. We saw one the other day at the mall and were just thinking about planning a day to go.
hstorm799{at}gmail{dot}com -
I have only been there once in the past year.
I haven't been there at all in the past year!
We've only been to Chuck E Cheese once in the past year.
In the last 12 months probably been 5 or 6 times mainly because I have a rule on not going if it's busy. My girls have learned 10 or more cars in the parking lot…going to CEC we're not. Though we just went for the girls school fundraiser and played around with the new app. It was fun especially when the kids didn't know what I was doing but then showed them the picture with CEC in it. I'm sure we'll be there a few time this summer to have some fun and escape the heat.
We've only been to Chuck E Cheese twice in Ting's four years of life. We have to drive over an hour to get to one so it's not something we do very often. But when we go Ting has the best time and I love watching her play all the games and enjoy the big mouse.
I think we have only been once this year. Both the kids love it and we like to go for "rewards" or special kid occasions.
Jackson LOVES Chuck E. Cheese…really though, we do not go often. I think since January he has only been there 2 times. Once was with Nana and Papa….Doug and I were working.

Keeping our Republic? America's Descent into Pointless Political Debate
Submitted by PA Paul Pal on Tue, 01/01/2013 - 12:31For years I have known that the United States was intended to be a Republic, not a Democracy. Shame on me, but until recently I never really thought why it matters so much. The constant bickering between Americans over who is correct, Republican, Independent, or Democrat; Right, Middle, or Left; Conservative, Moderate, or Liberal has done nothing to enhance our country at all.
Is it understandable that individuals have differing viewpoints? Of course. Should differing viewpoints be respected and, in the least, heard? Absolutely! The problem is that for the last 100 years, and more so recently, the argument over who is to blame and what is right or wrong seems to have taken precedent over what was intended: valuing every human being as special and protecting his/her rights regardless of how many people agree with him/her!
Just after the completion and signing of the Constitution, in reply to a woman's inquiry as to the type of government the Founders had created, Benjamin Franklin said, "A Republic, if you can keep it."
Now, to fully understand Franklin's statement, one must understand what a Republic is.
b (1) : a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law
The last part is key: "...AND GOVERNING ACCORDING TO THE LAW"
Why is that so important? Though having its flaws(which the Founding Fathers understood) our law, the U.S. Constitution, is special due to its focus on limiting the power of the National Government and because of the first ten amendments added to it called the Bill of Rights. Since a Republic is only as strong as the law that governs it, many of the Founders refused to ratify the Constitution unless it was guaranteed that the Bill of Rights would be added. The Bill of Rights would guarantee the rights of each individual person being respected(not fully legally realized unfortunately until after the Civil War).
So how does this discussion of a Republic apply to today? I believe that many influential and powerful people exist in the world today who love to create turmoil between differing factions within our society and nurture animosity between those with varying viewpoints. By doing so, the average citizen is distracted by pointless debates and politicians from all parties, who the elite have in their back pockets, are allowed to disregard their oath to defend and follow the U.S. Constitution and, in doing so, weaken our Republic.
We are slowly becoming more of a Democracy, which rewards Mob Rule, and less of a Republic. Basically, even if 90% of the citizens agree with a Bill vs. 10% who don't, in a Republic, the elected Representatives have a responsibility to weigh the Bill against the Constitution and see if it measures up. Their vote is to be based on the law, not public opinions.
Using the U.S. Constitution as a guide to determine how to vote on issues is what once made us great and the United States of America can become great again simply by our elected representatives actually using the law that we've had from the start. Political polls and pundits discussing issues may be entertaining and even educational, at times, but pointless if we are to heed Franklin's challenge to future generations of U.S. citizens.
It seems as though many Americans today, and most elected representatives at the National level who should know better, are more interested in figuring out who is superior in the court of public opinion rather than "keeping our Republic". It is time for ALL Americans to say enough is enough, stop bickering over which party is better when both have greatly failed our Republic, and demand that their elected officials actually read and understand the intent of the U.S. Constitution and honor their oath to defend it. If they choose not to honor their oath, then vote in someone who will, regardless of what the name of their party happens to be. The future of our Republic depends on that.
Congressional Oath of Office:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

The rumor of Billy Torrence attempting to get a Top Fuel license became a reality at the test session at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis Wednesday and Thursday.
"Really, the ultimate plan was to come out here at the end of the season," Billy Torrence said. "We had anticipated testing here in the middle of the season, but it just had not been the time to do it. We want to come out and get licensed and run Countdown races and maybe run a few races next year. It is just a really good avenue for my business. It will help Steve (Torrence, Billy's son) and his team and just be a good time."
The U.S. Nationals are Aug. 28-Sept. 2 in Indianapolis, followed by the six-race Mello Yello Series Countdown to the Championship Playoffs beginning in Charlotte, N.C. Sept. 13-15. The top 10 finishers in the regular season point standings in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle qualify for the Countdown.
Steve Torrence runs the Capco Racing/Torrence Motorsports dragster and is presently ninth in the point standings. Capco Contractors, Inc. is a family-owned and operated construction company specializing in the gas and oil industry. The company is owned by Billy Torrence and is based in Henderson, Texas.
Billy is no stranger to drag racing, but driving a Top Fuel machine is totally new to him.
"It is indescribable, actually," Billy said about being behind the wheel of a Top Fuel dragster. "It is totally exhilarating. It is a steep learning curve. I'm behind where I thought I should be, but I have a good teacher and we will be fine."
Billy did take a moment to imagine what it would mean if he could qualify for the U.S. Nationals.
"That would be outstanding to come here and get licensed and qualify," Billy said. "That would be a red-letter day for us."
Veteran tuner Donnie Bender is in charge of Billy Torrence's Top Fuel dragster. Lee Beard, a world championship crew chief and team manager, is Steve Torrence's crew chief, having joined the team in early May.
Steve Torrence also debuted a new dragster at the test session in Indianapolis this week.

Lore: There are warriors who become great for their strength, cunning, or skill with arms. Others simply refuse to die. Urgot, once a great soldier of Noxus, may constitute a case in support of the latter. Prone to diving headlong into enemy battle lines, Urgot sewed chaos throughout the enemy ranks, often sustaining grievous injuries in the process. When his body was unable to weather further abuse, the crippled Urgot was delegated the position of High Executioner of Noxus. By this time, his hands had been ruined and he could barely walk. Scythe-like grafts affixed to his maimed limbs served to carry out his bloody work. Urgot finally met his end at what should have been his finest hour. Because of his military background, he often accompanied detachments into foreign territory to carry out judgment. After ambushing an enemy force, Jarvan IV, Crown Prince of Demacia, fell into the clutches of Urgot's division. Too far from Noxus to risk transporting their prize for ransom, Urgot prepared to dispose of their captive. At the final moment, however, the Dauntless Vanguard, led by Garen, the Might of Demacia, intervened, and Urgot was cut in two by the zealous warrior as he scrambled to free his Prince. In recognition of his service, the executioner's remains were remanded to the Bleak Academy for reanimation. A lifetime of abuse, however, had left his body in a catastrophic state; proving problematic to the necromancers' craft. Professor Stanwick Pididly, the prevailing scholar of Zaun, offered a solution. Within Pididlys laboratories, a nightmarish new body was forged for Urgot. Now as much machine as man, Urgot arrived at the League of Legends in search of the man who ended his life; necromantic energies coursing through his metal veins. "We can rebuild him. We have the techmaturgy." --Professor Stanwick Pididly Ability descriptions: Acid Hunter: Urgot fires an Acid Hunter missile that slows the target. The Acid Hunter missile locks onto enemies afflicted with Noxian Corrosive Charge. Terror Capacitor: Urgot charges up his capacitor to gain a shield. While the shield is active, Urgot's physical damage is increased. Noxian Corrosive Charge:Urgot launches a corrosive charge that damages enemies in an area and reduces their armor. Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverser (ultimate): Urgot charges up his Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverser, gaining armor and magic resistance and swapping positions with his target. After the swap, his target is slowed. Zaun-Touched Bolt Augmenter (passive):Urgot's attacks reduce the damage that his target deals.

The overnight decimalisation of the pound in 1971 seemed almost bound to go wrong - after all, all the right coins had to be in all the right places, and every shopper in the country needed at least some idea of what was going on. For some forgotten reason, the Guardian "disguised" a reporter as a Frenchman before sending him out to investigate. He found the new system was well understood by shop staff, a discovery in line with nationwide success. The official Noel Moore, who died recently, deserves much of the credit as last Wednesday's Guardian obituary argued, overseeing all the logistics and an effective information campaign. The transition worked because it was not rushed: decimalisation had been debated since the 19th century, as the novels of Trollope attest; Moore himself had worked on it for a decade. Another propitious factor was the simplicity of the new currency. Keeping tabs in old money involved thinking in base-20 and base-12, but after the change base-10 alone sufficed - an intuitive system for a species that had long since turned the 10 digits on its hands into, well, digits. In revolutionary France, with its worship of reason, the same logic was grasped earlier. It led to metrification of money, measures and - for a while - a 100-minute hour. Decimalised time foundered on resistance and even today metric martyrs seek to scupper decimalised weights. But no-one demands a return to the bewildering LSD days. With cash, decimalisation quickly proved to be right on the money.

ESPN pulled country star Hank Williams Jr.'s 'All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Monday Night' opener from the telecast of 'Monday Night Football' after Williams appeared on television comparing President Barack Obama to murderous dictator Adolf Hitler.
The song, a modified version of Williams' 1984 hit, 'All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight,' has won four Emmys and has ushered in the Monday night games for some 20 years.

When a sinkhole is identified and properly analyzed, there are many different ways that it can be repaired and there are several different remediation methods used when handling sinkhole repairs in Tampa. Although the proper method will be determined through professional evaluation by engineers and experts in the field, it is suggested that home owners and property owners be familiar with the different methods that may be discussed while exploring sinkhole repair options.
Compaction Grouting is the most widely used type of sinkhole remediation method. Compaction grouting involves the injection of a material (grout) that is specifically designed for this type of application. The grout is injected through various drilling locations and delivered to the targeted area using high pressure pumps. After it is injected underground, the grout compacts then displaces the soil and ground material around it which results in a high density and very stable footprint. The sinkhole repair team should include a geologist to assist with the project.
Another type of grouting method is used for sinkhole repair which is called Chemical Grouting. Although the repair method used for chemical grouting is much like compaction grouting, chemical grouting uses a liquid polyurethane compound instead of the grout used with compaction grouting. The injection system for chemical grouting requires much less pressure which allows it to be done in areas that have structures that may be susceptible to high pressure systems. The liquid polyurethane used in chemical grouting also fills holes, voids and areas that traditional grout used in compaction grouting cannot fill or reach. As with compaction grouting, chemical grouting provides support and stabilization of areas where there is a sinkhole.
One other way that sinkholes can be repaired is through Underpinning. When underpinning is done, weight loads from a structure are transferred from their existing foundation to areas underground that are usually deeper, denser and more stable. There are many different underpinning systems including auger piers and pressure piers. Regardless of the system used, underpinning will provide an extremely stable solution for any property affected by a sinkhole and should prevent any further damage.
Repairing a sinkhole is a big endeavor that requires a team of experts and professionals to provide a quick solution that will last a very long time. The team should include you, your insurance agent, the repair contractor, a geologist and engineers or other consultants. Stay updated with the progress of repairs and seek answers for any questions that you may have about what is being done and how it may affect your property.

Tests show Samsung Galaxy S4 is the fastest smartphone and has the best battery life, beats iPhone 5
Posted By Enrique Manalang On July 2, 2013 @ 3:33 AM In Android | 2 Comments
Samsung's Galaxy S4 is the company's flagship for a lot of reasons. One of which is the sheer power that the device is capable of thanks to its impressive internals. But just how fast is it when compared with the likes of the HTC One or Sony Xperia Z? According to UK's consumer product testing website Which? , the Galaxy S4 is actually not only the fastest smartphone but it has the best battery life as well.
Which? put the S4 through Geekbench 2 and it emerged with a score of 3188, earning it the award for the fastest phone. The HTC One came in second with a score of 2798. Among the seven smartphones that were tested, Apple's iPhone 5 came in dead last, but that isn't too surprising for hardware that's almost a year old now.
In addition to being the most powerful, the S4 also managed to snag the award for best battery life. It lasted 1051 minutes in the call time test, and 405 minutes in internet use. At the bottom of the list for best battery life was Nokia's Lumia 920 and slightly above it was the iPhone 5.
Despite Galaxy S4's numerous flaws [4], it's hard to deny that Samsung has built a powerful device with a really solid battery life. And sometimes, that's all that really matters.

Hi Karen, Your message is old so you may not get this, but your Nan is right. There is a Gent - Westwell connection. If this is the same family, Hannah Westwell's mother's maiden name was Norris. Her sister, Agnes Norris, married John Gent. They are connected to this Speak-Gent family. The father of the Thomas who married Fanny Speak was William Gent. William and the above John were brothers. So you can see there is a connection between all the names you mentioned. I have further information on the Westwell-Norris family if you are interested. Hannah Cowell Westwell was a witness at my great great grandfather's wedding. Margaret Westwell married Joseph Lightbown. I also have information on the Gent-Speak family. Please contact me. I'd love to exchange information. Linda Notify Administrator about this message?

POSTED: Friday, October 12, 2012 - 10:37am
UPDATED: Friday, October 12, 2012 - 11:41am
El Paso — It was a packed courtroom as both legal teams met in Friday's charge conference in Yara Perez's retrial. Perez is accused of murdering her 3-year-old daughter Jacqueline Gonzalez in 2007. Perez is facing 2 counts of capital murder. Both the Defense and the Prosecuting attorneys asked for changes to the charges.
After about an hour, court reconvened as both sides reiterated their message to the jury. Prosecutors want the jury to find Yara Perez guilty on the basis that she failed to protect Jacqueline Gonzalez. The defense argues Perez was suffering from "Battered Wife Syndrome" and that the defendant's boyfriend, Francisco Castaneda, is the person who actually murdered the 3-year-old.
The jury is expected to deliver a decision later this afternoon.

Family says body found not James
POSTED: Thursday, December 2, 2010 - 9:39am
UPDATED: Thursday, December 2, 2010 - 9:33pm
BATON ROUGE, La (WVLA) -- The family of an LSU graduate missing in the Pacific Ocean says the body found by the Coast Guard is not James.
James de Brueys, 22, went missing over the weekend. He was on a boat with three other people off the coast of the Marshall Islands. The group was traveling to the main island, Majuro, for a Thanksgiving dinner, but they never showed up. Since then, the U.S. Coast Guard found their boat, overturned and empty and the ice chest they brought along on the trip.
The Coast Guard found the body of one of the other passengers on the boat. Family members say the Coast Guard will continue their search today.

I know all of the above but it is a moot point. My reasoning for his lowering is there are so many champions morde is utterly worthless against that are popular bot picks, and you can't send morde top. Unless you are the last pick in draft mode and you know exactly what the other teams bot is, Morde is just not viable. Flat Mpen doesn't cut it on morde vs most opponents, second they see you going for flat pen they'll start their hexdrinker. Alot of people will run +18 mr level 1 vs you aswell, meaning upwards of 48 base mr for you to pen, with more as a very likely possibility. As I mentioned earlier, he is a counterpick champion to very specific champions. Yes he can stall under the tower in the "sweet spot" and have minions never neutral it while being safe from his lane but other champions can do that while also applying pressure safely. I'll agree his counters are not as numerous as you'd expect them to be since he can beat things other champions cannot but there are many such as urgot and kogmaw that render his existence worthless. No other champ has this problem because in a worst case scenario they can go top instead while Mordekaiser cannot. Because of how worthless Morde is top it should effect his positioning in both tiers. That's my reasoning, hes a one trick pony. Sure its a good trick but its the only one he knows. Magic Acts that have only one trick are not very good acts to follow.
Glorious Bird
Malphite, really? I'm not disagreeing. Just curious. Do explain.
Saying Morde is useless top lane without giving any reasoning or saying he's not viable in blind pick / early draft is just wrong. Morde can swap top just fine, he just can't start the match up there -- much like Yorick or Udyr. Morde actually does very well when swapped top in the mid and late game. The only enemy that Morde is "utterly worthless" against is Urgot, and over half the roster has this same problem. Kog'Maw countering him doesn't happen badly enough earlygame, and by the time it starts to happen Morde has picked up the pace item-wise. Kog only starts running over Morde in the lategame, which happens with Kog versus pretty much everyone. Cass, Cait and Karth outrange him a lot, but Morde is going to get at least some trades on them using speed shrine or brush. Morde also has problems with Darius, Jax, and Lee Sin, but there's very few Dariuses and Lees that go bot. Jax bot was popularized by yours truly, but he certainly runs into a wall versus armor stacking and especially versus an early Tabi/Warden's. Regardless these champions are all going to beat Morde until he's had a chance to farm up a bit. Morde's scaling can win the day against all of these if he's played intelligently. A Morde who buys flat MPen versus someone who has 48 MR coming out the gate is not a good Morde. Actually, that's not a good player, period. There's nothing wrong in banking your quints on flat MPen considering his ratios, or getting Haunting Guise (eventually resold) to give a glass carry some problems, but Void Staff has all the other MPen items beat against the average opponent. A champion's placement in one list/lane doesn't effect the placement in the other. If it did, Malzahar's (and several others') positioning would be whack. That's why there's two lists and not one.
Any chances on a summoner spell tier list while you're at it?
shane o noke
Ya i usually play morde bot, but when i go top i find i can usually blow all my stuff on a good target and get ghost. Its rougher early yes, but you can survive till you have a few ap items. I agree he is outclassed top I just can't believe he ended up as the last champ.
LOL Tier 6 item list 100% agree Also, soraka isn't tier 1 in bottom lane? Well I guess that makes sense for upper elo and such, but in lower elo she tears phonebooks in half.
Chronicle, Sauron, Jax bot had been a thing on eu-w for a while now. You should know Chronicle, with all the time Sylian (and daviddos too) spend talking about him And Malzahar's tier placement is mostly AD Malzahar, it'd seem. AD Malzahar is pretty darn useless on top lane, where all the AoE insta-gib his voidlings.
