The good news: Car thefts continue to drop. The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports in its annual Hot Wheels report that the number of stolen vehicles reached its lowest since 1967.
The bad news: That's still a car stolen every 45 seconds – and the vast majority of them are older models that are easier to steal and whose owners may not be covered by comprehensive car insurance.
Looking at preliminary data for 2013, the FBI predicts a reduction in national vehicle thefts of 3.2 percent from 2012, to fewer than 700,000. Compare that with 1991, the peak year: 1,661,738.
The top 10 most stolen vehicles in 2013, according to the NICB:
An Accord is the most-stolen car in 17 states, and it makes the top 10 in 47. (See the most-stolen cars in each state.) Should you panic if you own an Accord? Not unless it's an older model; the prime targets were 1994-1996 models.
Among shiny 2013 models, thieves' top picks were Nissan Altima (810 thefts), Ford Fusion (793) and full-size Ford pickup (775).
In a happy coincidence, CCC Information Services, which gathers claims and repair data for the insurance industry, released its list of most-stolen car colors on the same day. They were:
If you are unfortunate enough to own a silver mid-1990s Accord and live in one of the NICB's 2013 car-theft hotspots (basically, California), think really hard about adding comprehensive coverage, or rethink dropping it, if you can't afford to replace your car. It's typically much cheaper than liability or collision coverage.
And take these NICB-suggested steps:

Tata Communications Further Unites The World's Video Collaboration Community With The Addition Of AT&T To Its Global Telepresence Network
Tata Communications today announces that it is extending its global business video ecosystem with a new interconnection agreement with AT&T. The agreement now enables even more face-to-face collaboration around the world, across each respective network. With this latest in a series of interprovider agreements, Tata Communications' Global Meeting Exchange™ network provides connections to most of today's major providers of Telepresence services, offering customers unprecedented reach for their business video networks.
"To help the telecoms industry meet the requirements of enterprises as the growth of business video continues, there needs to be collaboration and openness amongst service providers," says Peter Quinlan, Vice President, Integrated Business Video Services, Tata Communications. "The creation of an open ecosystem in which service providers align and interconnect their respective business video communities will allow enterprise customers to receive not only the best service possible, but it will also give them unprecedented reach to other Telepresence rooms around the world, enabling them to embrace video as a daily business communication tool. The agreement with AT&T is the latest step in our strategy to make business video a truly global collaboration tool for enterprises, regardless of network, service provider or location."
Tata Communications' strategy to create the world's richest, connected and open video ecosystem includes: business-to-business video services, cloud-based services and flexible, modular, managed services; as well as one of the world's widest-reaching Telepresence networks via inter-provider agreements and the largest public Telepresence room footprint. These offerings culminate under the Global Meeting Alliance ™, an open business video ecosystem initiative spearheaded by Tata Communications, which provides participating enterprises and service providers with greater global reach, lower total cost of ownership and a world-class user experience.
"AT&T is working closely with a number of service and technology providers in the industry to enable more pervasive and global video collaboration capabilities without borders," said Alan Benway, Executive Director of AT&T Business Solutions. "The interprovider agreement with Tata Communications is another step in that effort, broadening access for AT&T Telepresence Solution customers as they look to collaborate through even more endpoints globally."

McCrory Unveils New TV Ad Linking Dalton, PerdueRALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Republican gubernatorial nominee Pat McCrory is trying to reinforce a connection between Democratic rival Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton and departing North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue in a new television commercial. McCrory's campaign said its second television commercial of the general election campaign is running in markets throughout North Carolina starting Tuesday. The ad shows a man and a woman sitting at a diner eating french fries. The woman said the "guy running against" McCrory wants to keep Perdue's policies in place. The man responds: "Is he not well?" A Dalton campaign spokesman said McCrory's commercial shows the former Charlotte mayor is already breaking a pledge against running negative ads. Dalton has tried to distance himself from Perdue, saying he's not a carbon copy of the governor. |

His usually slicked back hair is a tussled mess from the gust blowing off the dim bay. He's taking a break from planning a second tour in support of Home, A Kite Is a Victim's debut release on Space Cadette Records.
The twelve-track, 73-minute disc is not the sort of record a major label would likely release from a debut artist. Half the songs on Home are more than six minutes long; a couple are ten-plus minutes. Galvez's abstract, soul-searching lyrics, set against a backdrop of melancholy guitar strumming, don't make for easy sing-alongs. Neither does Galvez's voice. At times he mutters the lyrics as if he were lying in his sick bed with a 103-degree fever; other times he flat-out wails.
Although A Kite has been around for four years, the lone constant in the band has been Galvez. He assembled the members as more of a loose collective than a band, one dedicated to recording a cycle of the deeply personal songs he'd been compiling. On Home, Galvez is backed by a shifting cast of musicians who play everything from strings to oboe, saxophones, slide guitar, keyboards, and the traditional drums-bass-guitar core.
The disc is above all an ambitious collection, and this ambition is even reflected in the elaborate handmade package, which features Galvez's artwork. "I've completed a package with Space Cadette that only someone like Madonna could get from a major label," Galvez notes.
Of course, it can only help matters that Galvez co-owns Space Cadette, a South Miami record label/studio he runs with his brother, Rafael. This fact might also explain why Galvez, a notorious perfectionist, was allowed more than a year to produce Home.
But there's actually a better explanation for the delay: Galvez has been a very busy fellow. In addition to overseeing a multitude of music and visual art happenings at Space Cadette, Galvez and Rafael produce "Barcode," a community underground dance and arts television show for WAMI-TV (Channel 69). And then there is Galvez's other band, the Latin-rock outfit Enemigo Sol, which is currently negotiating a contract with a Colombian record company.
Despite a schedule that would give the Pope a run for his money, Galvez says there's no question where his priorities lie: "A Kite Is a Victim is what I truly love. It's where I really feel home."
The experience of recording Home, though, was a decidedly tough affair. Because the band had no money to record, they had to use Space Cadette's studio during the hours when it wasn't booked by other bands. This meant an erratic schedule, ranging from days of no recording to marathon cramming sessions that lasted hours on end.
The process was so arduous that the core group of musicians who recorded the album with Galvez has since left the band. Scott Nixon, frontman and guitarist for local rockers Ed Matus' Struggle, contributed back-up vocals and played guitars and piano on Home, and even co-wrote a song ("Home to Your Ghost") with Galvez. "We started recording in May 1997 and didn't finish until July 1998," says Nixon.
Nixon recalls sessions that lasted as long as twelve hours. "I couldn't do it. I felt I was shortchanging them," he says. "It was a mutual understanding with Al that I wasn't into it as much as I should be, and it was draining him, too. I think that was the situation with everybody."
Galvez says his demands on the band were inevitable. "The vision for this album was to compose a masterpiece, to make every moment count. To make words like 'Promise, I will never be alone' hit you the way they should. I didn't sing that line a million times in my head so that I could just blurt out those words on the spur of the moment. That's bullshit. When you go see an Oliver Stone movie, the fact that you enjoy it is because there are details that are so soft and subtle, but it took a lot to brainstorm those simple, little things."
Galvez understands and appreciates his need to suffer for art. His band's name reflects the conflicts that arise between him and his music. "It's the title of a Leonard Cohen poem," he notes. "It's sort of a romantic image. The poem questions the roles between the man and the kite, asking who's holding the string? Who's pulling at who?"
The album saw its official release on October 2, at a CD release party at Space Cadette. The band performing as A Kite that night featured all new members except for Galvez: bassist Henry Rajan, drummer Ulysses Perez, and guitarist/saxophonist Marcus Ware. The group followed the party with a brutal, DIY three-week tour up the East Coast, as far north as New York and Boston.

Too much for Big Brother to handle? Will the UAE ban Whatsapp after it turns into a calling app as well?
But for residents and social media users in the Middle East, namely the United Arab Emirates, things aren't looking to be so smooth sailing. Not that there's a complete blanket ban on major social networking websites as such in the Emirates, but there are certain aspects of a couple of social media websites – read Whatsapp and Skype – that are heavily under the governmental scanner on account of reasons pertaining to lack of adequate security shoring.
But while Skype has been allowed to be utilised across the region in a watershed decision taken by the authorities in April last year, Whatsapp with its proposed feature of similar VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) to be launched is yet to find takers within the governmental offices of the United Arab Emirates.
Though Whatsapp is being extensively used in the region, this proposed new feature is said to be technically flawed making it highly susceptible to hacking threats capable of allowing the cyber-terrorists to get a detailed history of the hacked user's Whatsapp history. Though reputed security experts believe that since the database for Whatsapp is automatically saved onto the SD card which can be accessed by any Android-based application if the user of the SD card has granted the application to access the said SD Card, this particular security concern can be effectively addressed by ensuring that access permissions for third party apps through the same SD card are vetoed and granted quite carefully.
But despite these clarifications, the security concern of data access continues to hang over the users' heads like the proverbial Sword of Damocles which in turn has led to UAE governmental authorities still leery of Whatsapp's proposed VoIP feature, thereby encapsulating their disallowing of the proposed feature in the region.

Andrew Cooper expects the Epsom ground to remain predominately good despite a heavy shower ahead of this afternoon's Investec Derby.
The track has seen a total of six millimetres of rain this morning, with the majority of that falling in a 30-minute spell from 10am to 10.30am.
The Clerk of the course said: "It looks like we have had the worst of the forecast rain and we should be getting better, clearer weather from now on.
"We have had six millimetres in total today, five in that heavy shower, and I would reckon the first word in the new going description will still be good."
Cooper's assertion proved correct following a walk of the track, although the ground is now on the easier side.
He tweeted: "Given @EpsomRacecourse as Good, Good to Soft places. Revised Going Stick 7.5. Generally Good but just odd slower place."

NABF cruiserweight champion Matt Too Smooth Godfrey has headed West for Saturday nights 10-round, non-title fight against former World amateur champion Famous Michael Simms outdoors at the Red Lion Hotel in Sacramento, California. NABF champion Godfrey (19-1, 10 KOs) is rated No. 3 by the IBF, as well as WBC #5, WBA #12 and WBO #15. The Providence native, ranked No. 10 by The Ring magazine, has had sensational knockout victories on ESPN Friday Night Fights against Emmanuel Nwodo, Shaun George, and Felix Cora, Jr.. Sims (20-11-2, 13 KOs) was the 1999 World and U.S. amateur light heavyweight champion, defeating current heavyweight title challenger David Haye in the world championships. Im staying busy and showing everyone I dont want to sit back waiting for the guys in suits to put together a title fight or eliminator involving me, Godfrey said after returning from training camp. Everything talked about wont happen until 2010. I dont want to wait all winter, so Im going to keep everything going forward, working hard on different things to improve myself. Simms isnt going to lie down. Im preparing for the same guy who beat David Haye in the amateurs and was world champion. I cant look past him. I just came back from three weeks at camp in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, where Muhammad Ali used to train. There are a lot of great memories up there and nothing to do but train. I was running those hills and sparring with Travis Kaufman, who is 6-4 and can fight from both sides. Simms is 6-2 and he changes sides, left to right, with the wind. This fight will serve as a good measuring stick for things weve been working on. Im prepared to take care of business in Sacramento. HOT PROSPECT DOMINIC SALCIDO ADDED TO LOCKED AND LOADED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH RISING STAR JOSESITO LOPEZ TO HEADLINE AGAINST ANTHONY MORA LOS ANGELES, September 9 The hottest card of September just got hotter, as Thompson Boxing Promotions is pleased to announce that Upland, Californias Dominic Salcido has just been added to Friday, September 11ths Locked and Loaded event at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California. Salcido will face veteran Ilido Julio in an eight round lightweight co-feature. In the eight round main event, hot junior welterweight prospect Josesito Lopez will return to action against always tough Anthony Mora. Also in action will be hot prospects Patrick Lopez, Daniel Hernandez, Aaron Garcia, and Jesus Hernandez. Tickets for Locked and Loaded, a six bout card of professional boxing presented by Thompson Boxing Promotions, are priced at $75, $45 and $30, and may be purchased by calling 714-935-0900. Riversides Josesito Lopez (25-3, 14 KOs) has won three in a row since his controversial loss to Edgar Santana in 2008, and he is ready for another assault on the 140-pound elite. A Colorado native known as The Matrix, Anthony Mora (15-3, 10 KOs) has been in the ring with former world champion Randall Bailey, and he is eager to have the opportunity to start at new winning streak against Lopez. A flashy boxer with a crowd-pleasing style Dominic Salcido (17-1, 9 KOs) is one of the lightweight divisions brightest young up and comers. Fighting for the first time since his win over Celestino Rodriguez last November, the 25-year old will get another tough test in Colombia native Ilido Julio (38-15-1, 34 KOs), a seasoned knockout artist who has won three in a row. In other action, junior welterweights Patrick El Elegante Lopez (15-2, 10 KOs) of Venezuela and Tyler Ziolowski (11-8, 6 KOs) of St. Joseph, Missouri, will clash in an eight round battle, and with a combined 16 knockouts, this one has the potential to steal the show.

On June 12th, the two California standouts battled to a six round draw, and on September 11th they get the opportunity to settle their score. South Gate lightweight Daniel El Travieso Hernandez (7-0, 4 KOs) steps back between the ropes as well on this talent-rich night, putting his undefeated record on the line against hard-nosed veteran Jose Alfredo Lugo (10-10-1, 5 KOs) of Los Mochis, Mexico.

More than 84 million have been sold, dwarfing the competition. With its high-definition "retina display" screen, dual cameras and extensive app catalogue, it's the standard by which other tablets are measured. They start at $499 and run up to $829 for a 64GB version with 3G connectivity.Hide Caption 1 of 9Gallery: Hottest tablets & e-readers 9 photosiPad Mini – Apple promises the Mini, unveiled on October 23, will offer the positives of its bigger tablet in a smaller, more portable package. At 7.9 inches when measured diagonally, its screen is bigger than its rivals in the "small tablet" category and has the same proportions as its bigger cousin. Its price begins at $329, which is more expensive than other similar tablets.Hide Caption 2 of 9Gallery: Hottest tablets & e-readers 9 photosKindle Fire HD – With the Kindle Fire, Amazon made a small dent in the iPad's dominance by going smaller and cheaper, with a $199 price tag for the 7-inch tablet. The second-generation HD bears the same price, adds a camera and high-resolution screen, and includes a bigger 8.9-inch model for an extra $100. The a souped-up version of the first-generation Fire can now be had for $159. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said the goal isn't to win by going cheap, but to make "the best tablet at any price." Most critics say they're not there yet, but celebrate the competition.Hide Caption 3 of 9Gallery: Hottest tablets & e-readers 9 photosMicrosoft Surface – Computing giant Microsoft took its time getting into the tablet game. But the Microsoft Surface, announced in June, promises to take the space in a different direction. It comes with a "Touch Cover" keyboard and a display screen an inch bigger than the iPad's. It could be key in Microsoft's plans for a single operating system for all devices. The tablet starts at an iPad-like $499, with a more powerful Windows RT version for $599, or $699 with the touch cover.Hide Caption 4 of 9Gallery: Hottest tablets & e-readers 9 photosSamsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 – Android tablets designed to compete feature-for-feature with the iPad have struggled.

A 16-GB version now sells for $329, or a little less at some retailers.Hide Caption 5 of 9Gallery: Hottest tablets & e-readers 9 photosGoogle Nexus 7 – Google's first tablet took a page from the Amazon playbook -- going small with a price that starts at $199.

The simpler Kobo Mini sells for $79, just $10 more than a basic Kindle with ads.Hide Caption 9 of 9Story highlightsReport on how tablets are hurting the e-reader market got CNN readers talkingTablets are booming, but many remain loyal to Nooks, Kindles and the likeTablets still haven't caught up for a pure reading experience, some commenters sayMany have found a place in their digital arsenal for both devicesFrom the responses to our story Thursday on how tablets are paving a rough road for the future of dedicated e-readers, one thing was clear: We still love our E Ink.Hundreds weighed in with comments, and the overwhelming majority argued that while tablets offer a range of nifty features, they still haven't caught up with Kindles, Nooks, Kobos or Sony Readers for curling up with a good e-book.Many folks said they've found a spot in their digital lives for both types of devices."I have a tablet and an e-reader. They both have their place," wrote a commenter called Ken. "I wouldn't give up my e-reader because for one, the battery life is amazing. And two, its e-ink makes it almost look like paper." (E Ink is a proprietary type of electronic paper that's found in most e-readers.)Seventy-six of you voted up the comment. Ken's clearly onto something."My Kobo is so small and light that I can hold it and click on it to turn the page with one hand," wrote the ominously monikered Sharkmann. "And the battery lasts about 1 week even if I use it a lot. For reading a book, e-ink is best, for web browsing and video, a bigger tablet is much better. Trying to make one device for everything leads to a device that does nothing well."Experts quoted in our report painted a rosier picture for tablets. While the devices haven't yet matched the easy-on-the-eyes look of E Ink, most of the new ones have high-definition screens, and it may only be a matter of time before they catch up.For now, it's the glare from a tablet's screen that's keeping some folks from spending hours on the devices, streaming Spotify and looking up definitions of big words while wading through, say, the bloody "Game of Thrones" book series."Don't forget that some of us are light sensitive. If I sat down for a long reading session on a tablet, I would get a headache," commenter Otorman said. "For this reason, my e-reader is great. I really do fear that tablets will kill off both paper and e-ink and will diminish the pleasantness of the reading experience."Still, some folks agreed with what the analysts quoted in the report were saying."I can go to any of a dozen sites and order a cheap tablet from China for $50 to $75 (including delivery) that does everything a reader does plus hundreds of things a reader can't do," wrote Kevin Walker. "So why waste money on a inferior product just because of the brand name?"Added lasertekk, "It's only a matter of time before an e-ink screen gets combined with a LCD, giving you both devices in one package."And some of the biggest fans of the readers noted that, in a way, they're victims of their own success.ZJM555: "Nice thing about an e-reader is you don't have to get the latest and greatest one every six months."And Amber Hielckert: "I agree. The real problem with e-readers is that they last (nearly) forever, that people don't need to replace or upgrade every few years or so. I still have the Kindle with the keyboard, and it still works great."So is there much hope for e-reader fans' beloved devices? Some of you seem to think so.Writing with the screen name guiwhiz, one commenter echoed a scenario voiced by analyst James McQuivey."Schools. This is where they are going to be relevant," he wrote. "Giving young teenage children tablets is a big investment not just in hardware, but in all kinds of other costs/headaches as well. Give a kid an e-reader with the textbooks pre-loaded, the 'limited browser' locked down to the school websites/proxy server and then you have a potential replacement for textbooks."Just my two cents of course, but boy that is where I would be focusing my (research and development) money if I was Nook."That, and several suggestions about improving Web browsing and other features, might keep tablets from killing electronic readers. "Maybe not kill," wrote Nodack. "But put on life support maybe."More from techNASA to send submarine into spaceThe balloons that could fly tourists to the edge of spaceCEO lays out Blackberry's futurePowered by Livefyre

Will This Price Target Increase Help Micron (MU) Today?
Story updated at 9:50 a.m. to reflect market activity.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Jefferies raised its price target for Micron (MU - Get Report) to $32 from $32 Friday, maintaining a "buy" rating on the stock.
Shares of Micron gained 3% to $24.72 in morning trading.
Analysts Sundeep Bajikar and Mark Lupacis estimate that DRAM gross margins increased by about 4,000 bps in the last 5 quarters, driving profitability. "We expect strong DRAM profitability to continue," the analysts wrote. "Additionally, we expect a combination of large Cloud SSD demand and completion of Micron's product quals to translate into a profitability tailwind in NAND. Reit. Buy."
The price target increase comes one day after Micron beat analysts' estimates in its second-quarter results. Must read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. --------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC (MU) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and notable return on equity. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- MU's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 5.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 120.4%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 211.11% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 123.29% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, MU should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC turned its bottom line around by earning $1.00 versus -$1.04 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.00 versus $1.00).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income increased by 230.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$275.00 million to $358.00 million.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

The Developing Years

Cover (shown at top left):
Howard Chapman in uniform GRCA, 1963. Chapman is shown at Grand Canyon National Park soon after his transfer from Yellowstone National Park. The National Park Service Training Center had been temporarily located in Yosemite National Park for four years before finding a permanent home on the South Rim at Grand Canyon. Chapman had transferred to become an instructor at the new Training Center, now christened the Horace M. Albright Training Center, which was completed in the summer of 1963. His 1960 badge and nametag, as well as arrowhead patch and Department of the Interior 10-year service pin stand out on his 1947 pattern uniform. NPSHPC-HFC#50-70-15
Ranger Wolfrum "Bill" Joffee was the first ranger to enter the National Park Service from veterans discharged at the Naval Hospital in Yosemite National Park. After the War, uniformed National Park Service personnel were authorized to wear ribbons denoting any decorations they had earned during the War in any of the military services, until rescinded in the 1961 uniform regulations. This was interpreted rather loosely by some. Images show rangers wearing badges and medals, as well. Joffee is wearing his ribbons along with a 1936 ranger badge. NPSHPC-Ralph H.

Location great with nearby museums, shopping, parks in walking distance. Hotel very well run with friendly staff. Very clean rooms and loved the executive business suite with two bathrooms. I wish we had had the option of two queen beds instead of two doubles. - Anonymous
The Staff was very friendly and took the time to help with places to visit in Chicago. I was thrilled to be able to check in earlier so I could get settled in to my room before meetings. The location was perfect for walking to the Convention Center. My room was clean and the mattres and down blanket was wonderful! I had a good nights sleep. I would definitely stay at this Hyatt property again. - Anonymous
Room was super. Beds were so comfortable that I have never slept better in my life and the bathroom was equally superb with 2 huge washbasins. In most places nowadays you only get a shallow worthless basin but not in the Blackstone. The room was spacious and on the 21st floor we had a magnificent view of Lake Michigan and over to Navy Pier and to Museum Campus - Anonymous
The staf was very kind and helpful - Margaret
The room, the view, the location, the ease at checkin, the room service - Stephen
Friendly staff and a short walking distance to the centre. Also close to the Metro lines and closer than the hotels on the Magnificent Mile to the Museum campus. I asked for a late checkout and it was no problem. I even got a couple of hours complimentary. Free Wi-FI everywhere and there is also a computer to borrow which you can print out flight itineraries, show tickets etc for free. All in all I was very happy with my stay. - Anonymous
I saved a ton of money. - Anonymous
The location to downtown Chicago, for a fraction of the cost of other hotels, is what interested me the most about the Chinatown Hotel. Tons of restaurants in the area, and the front desk clerk even recommended a couple favorites. The subway entrance in Chinatown was not accessible at the time of our stay, but even a cab ride to the downtown area was very reasonable (especially with the large group I was travelling with, riding the subway would've cost about the same). There is a parking garage - Anonymous
I liked the views of the lake...they were exquisite. The room was large and comfortable including a minibar and a little kitchenette (sink only). The closet was spacious and the shower head had good pressure. The whole bathroom was really nice. Also, I like the fact that as a guest I have full access to the exercise and locker room facilities. The spin bikes were excellent. I spun everyday I was there, including taking a spin class the last day. Overall, I was happy with my stay and I would sta - Anonymous
I liked the fact that it's the oldest operating hotel in the country & there is lots of history there. The design is elaborate & like a palace. Location is great for Millenium Park, shopping, & lakefront. The deal at letsbookhotel.com was really reasonable! It was the same price as the single room at the hostel I normally stay at! I liked the fact that I could leave my car for 5 hours after check out too- that was very convenient. I'll definitely be coming back there another time &a - Anonymous

Desktop Manager won't accept my password, but the BlackBerry does
Users frequently post with problems entering their password on Desktop Manager. Desktop Manager won't take the password they normally use on the BlackBerry. What's the problem?
Desktop Manager is asking for the same password you use to unlock your BlackBerry. The two passwords are the same, but the PC keyboard is not the same as your BlackBerry keyboard. Why does that matter?
Since password entry is masked when you create your BlackBerry password, you can't see what you typed on the BlackBerry keyboard. Many people assume passwords are numeric by default, but they are not. If you don't press alt or shift before pressing a key on the BlackBerry, you enter a lower case letter. For example, if you thought you were entering the numeric password 1234, but you didn't press alt before each digit, you actually entered wers. You can't see what you entered, and the BlackBerry doesn't care, as long as you enter the password the same way every time.
But 1234 on the PC keyboard really is 1234, not wers, so when you type 1234 on the PC, the password fails.
The solution is to try the shifted and alt'd variants of what you think your password is. In my example, try wers and WERS. Be careful. You only have 10 tries to get it right. After 10 incorrect attempts, the BlackBerry will delete all your personal data.Thanked by 4:bagsabhi (07-22-11), expectedlyunexpected (10-30-12), Laura Knotek (07-31-11), rdiddy_25 (05-21-11)
Great post Jeff, I'm sure this will help A LOT of people.
NO WONDER my DM wasnt accepting it... Thanks mate
PlayBook and DeskTop Manager Passwords
My experiences:
Any form of the password entry for the Playbook under the previous to 2.0 version OS fails and I always had to remove the PB password and then set Backup and then reset the password on PB, now that OS 2.0 is installed, it cleared up the previous OS bug and Desktop Manager will now accept the password if keyed correectly to match the PB entry....not that I dispute the post but I have IT background....Happy Now.... didn't mind the extra steps before as it forced necessary password change policies since a personal and work unit.Michael ATL - 02-18-13, 08:03 AM #8
Still doesn't make sense
I thought that already. There is a checkbox that says show password, so you can see what you're typing in (this is using Blackberry 9790) however still can't login.
It seems like the two are not synch'ing up for me? any suggestions.
In addition I can't seem to connect to wifi, my BB can see the wifi network but when I try to connect it just keeps failing? -

A few typos. Reading the poem over before posting can help with that.
What's up AO? I know it's been awhile and my poem writing has probably gotten a little rusty, but tell me what you think alright.
You said we would be together
You said that we would always be together
Not knowing that promise wouldn't last forever
Love came into my life like a cool summer breeze
Circling around my heart like wind through the trees
As visions of hearts spiral around the corners of my mind
I am looking and standing in a land that is without time
Love comes and goes like life's eternal ebb and flow
Tossing me around never knowing which direction to go
The promise to be together is as fragile as porcelain vase
Something we all wish to achieve and to have a just cause
Living and learning is the lesson we should heed from love
Yet we're constantly blinded like wondering lost doves
Searching for that perfect soul mate in which to spend my life
I can only imagine what kind of deception lies within our minds
Now that we know that promise wouldn't last forever
The question still remain can we adapt and be together
A few typos. Reading the poem over before posting can help with that.
Seduced by Flesh
A nice poem here Blue Fox, I really enjoyed reading it, because it talks about things that concern me... I found it ineresting to read about what you think about this game of "live and learn love". But I disagree a lill bit, I'm sure it's the same with love as it is with all the other things- love is something you have to understand too and it's almost impossible to find reall love with the first try...
Anyways, don't mind my mumbling much ^^ This is a nice poem...
My recommended fanfic: "Dreamer" by Scourge
Lasura your exactly right about finding love on the first try! It's not that easy a lot of things go into looking for a relationship as well as making one work, so you mumbling is very much appreciated! I thank you for taking the time to read my poem especially since this type of poem is not my usual style of writing.
its a good peom, like said there is a few typos but w/e its stile a good poem
Ok, glad to hear my mumbling was not that bad ^^ I really enjoyed reading this, so thank you for writting this... And I'd like to see your other works too ^^

Overall, Legends of WrestleMania is the best romp through the WWE I've had the pleasure of playing in years.
For fans of WWE games, those who grew up in the 80s and 90s watching WWE wrestling, or those who always wondered who would win between John Cena and Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Big Show, or how about the tag team of Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr vs. Dusty Rhodes and Ted Dibiase; this game is a must-buy.
WWE Legends of Wrestlemania is a game that caters to everyone of my nostalgic wishes. It may be missing a few key wrestlers, such as Owen Hart, Randy Savage, Diesel, and Razor Ramon, but they can be easily created within the game's Create A Legend mode.
As with the Xbox 360 version, the PS3 version of Legends of WrestleMania is a really entertaining game. Sure, it may not be the deepest game out there but the over-the-top graphics, solid sound, and the simple gameplay all manage to recreate some great WrestleManias of past.
This is a no-brainer for anyone who still has a yellow Hulkamania shirt tucked away in their closet.
The gameplay although not perfect is quite playable that is matched with great graphics, a kickass soundtrack and good old fashioned wrestling moments.
If you're a fan of the WWE then you probably already bought this game and really don't need this review to convince you. For the rest of you out there I can say that if you are or were a big fan of wrestling then you should check out Legends of WrestleMania.
WWE Legends of Wrestling is the one game all old school "WWF" fans should pick up. No other wrestling title has come close to matching the same level of nostalgia that Legends conveys in its close attention to detail and Wrestlemania Tour mode.
The new control scheme is, for me, a change for the better. I for one wouldn't mind a similar system employed for SDvR10, although I'd imagine hardcore fans might not agree. At the end of the day, though, what's most important is that Legends does exactly what it set out to do, and that's provide a rose-tinted nostalgia trip down 80s and 90s wrestling.
Excessive quick time events, repeated moves and puzzling omissions (no Macho Man Randy Savage) had us griping, but overall, Legends of WrestleMania is a fun homage to wrestling's glory days.
With a ton of unlockables and dozens of classic wrestlers from the glory days of the World Wrestling Federation, Legends of WrestleMania is a fan's dream come true.
More than just a cash-in on the franchise's glittering legacy, Legends Of Wrestlemania is the most impressive wrestling videogame since the turn of the millennium.
THQ has put together a pretty great love letter here for old school wrestling fans, and laid down a pretty good foundation for a new series.
Legends of Wrestlemania pays tribute to the classic WWE wrestlers and to the 80's & 90's generations. It's an easy-going gameplay experience for the new casual players interested in the classic legends. The huge and amazing videos and the Wrestlemania Tour mode are some of its best points. It is not the best wrestling game but is the only one offering a link between the past and the present of the WWE.
WWE Legends of Wrestlemania is a game that will keep you occupied for a long time. The fighters are cool, the movies bring back good memories and there are many modes. On the graphics-side the game has his flaws, but it is still a lot of fun to play.
As the first WWE Legends-focused title, WWE Legends of WrestleMania does a good job of creating a memorable experience that you can share with friends or enjoy all by yourself.
THQ really did a great job with this game. It's great fun in multi-player when you have some friends over. It's also fun just playing the single player mode. The classic video highlights are both interesting and funny.
Legends of Wrestlemania does what exactly what you think it should. Despite some repetition and being short on gameplay content and depth, it's a casual, enjoyable romp through the good ol' days that put our childhood heroes (and villians) on a pedestal. Then is shines a spotlight, blasts fireworks, and points at them with a giant arrow.
Legends' pacing is really the only serious detriment to the game. The implementation of quick-time events feels more like an awkward attempt to differentiate the series from THQ's Smackdown franchise, rather than a fresh new gameplay mechanic. Old-school grappling fans who are longing for a simpler wrestling game will likely get the most out of LoW, but those accustomed to the fast and furious pace found in SVR will have a harder time embracing the "streamlined" controls.
WWE Legends of WrestleMania is the perfect wrestling game for the guys in their late twenties, because it's totally focused on the old school wrestlers like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant and on fifteen editions of WrestleMania, from 1985 to 1999. The core of the gameplay, very arcade and casual, is based on grapples made by quick time events, and way too easy and simplistic to perform very long combos and attacks.
WWE Legends of WrestleMania seems greatly at odds with the established franchise, known for its realistic simulation model and wide variety.
While Legends of WrestleMania has plenty of fun matches to participate in and a worthy roster to choose from, the streamlined controls and all-together easier difficulty make recommending this to veteran fans a hard task.
Thanks to a bunch of different game modes, multiplayer action and the possibility to create your own unique wrestler, WWE Legends of Wrestlemania turns out to be a very complete and over the top wrestling game. And if you add up the tons of content that you can unlock by throwing your opponent through the ring, it only gets better. The game is far from perfect, but if you dig sweaty men in spandex than you will dig WWE Legends of Wrestlemania.
Truth be told, we were put off by Legends' quick-time event-heavy controls. Yet at the same time, we felt driven to replay matches and earn unlockables. Yes, we had fun but we griped a bunch too. Maybe the next Legends game can return to the right-analog stick action we're so used to. Or maybe it's we who are blinded by nostalgia.
WWE Legends of WrestleMania is a game sure to please the legions of nostalgic fans out there. It's easy to pick up and play, although this could also be its biggest downfall.
Overall it is hard to recommend for Smackdown! Vs. Raw fans under the age of 27; short of The Rock, HHH, Shaun Michaels, Stone Cold, and Hulk Hogan, most of these wrestlers have been dead or out of the spotlight for years. For anyone with a taste for some classic WWF you can't get any better than this – game wise, anyway.
For fans, Legends is a diverting interactive museum and an interesting expansion of the legends included in more recent Smackdowns. [June 2009, p.78]
A somewhat nostalgic wrestling title that fails to hit the standards set by the Smackdown vs. Raw franchise. Good fun though, even with the simplified controls.
Fans of the WWE series will really enjoy playing this game. For newcomers, the fine controls will provide you a way to become a WWE fan.
Still, I'm not really in love with the actual game, and after finishing everything (the achievements/trophies are really easy to get by the way), I find myself more interested in the concept than the actual execution.
In the end, Legends of WrestleMania fails to completely live up to its potential, but does provide a fun experience for a short time.
The historic videos are great, Road to WrestleMania is an interesting idea and who doesn't love seeing the Ultimate Warrior back in the ring? Still, the actual gameplay falls short in this one. The matches aren't that exciting, the controls are lacking, little nuances (such as proper titles) are missing and this just doesn't feel like a solid WWE offering.
That simple control style makes the multiplayer feel flat.
Legends of Wrestlemania sustains itself mostly on nostalgia and on a simple an accessible gameplay concept. The nostalgia part is not so detailed like many passionate fans may demand, but at least it has succeeded in being accessible.
Those of you who do know your Ric Flairs from your Rick Rudes, this is a decent jaunt through the history of the biggest wrestling company on the planet, but the lack of depth means it just falls short of an essential purchase.
Feels positively ancient, gets by on retro charm. [May 2009, p.65]
The needless addition of QTEs to the formula and a relatively short single-player experience keep it from becoming a legend in its own right.
A lovely flashback for fans, but the insipid action wears thin. [May 2009, p.72]
The gameplay can be fun for a little while, but it soon becomes an exercise in repetition and boredom.
If the action was consistent and engaging Legends could have been a major success.
The gameplay is so repetitive and robotic. [May 2009, p.101]
Nostalgia will inspire you to check this game out, but not even nostalgia can save this slow, brief and completely disappointing game.
Unfortunately, the simplicity went a notch too far, and instead of a fun, arcade-like romp through memories of wrestling yesteryear, we're left with a wrestling game that has the best roster in 10 years, but some of the least challenging and least fun gameplay.

Wow this body cream realy does the trick. I have a date tomorrow and needed to impress this girl cause first impression is the best remember. The only negative about it is that it has a terible oder other then that i recomend to anyone who is geting ready for a date trust me.
I bought this product today and used it right when I got home for my legs and arms. It is true that the product does burn....a little. But after about 30 seconds it dies down and you can't feel it anymore. Unlike the reviewer above I have thinner leg hair so it might have something to do with the thickness of body hair. Depending on where you use it. Same applies to the irritation. It didn't irritate my skin but it might depending on the person who uses it.
I use this on my legs and it leaves them really smooth - however the hair must be somewhat longer in order to achieve that. does not work particularly well on stubble - but does leave the legs silky smooth! removes hair on feet and toes great.

Holland's Koda fund helping NHSPCA
Sunday, March 2, 2014
STRATHAM — The Koda Fund was established by internationally known psychic medium John Holland to "provide lifesaving care for animals in need." Holland first began working with the New Hampshire SPCA in early 2009 and has been a constant supporter since.
Most recently, there was Buddy Jo, a dog suffering from bladder stones that needed emergency surgery to remove a blockage that was likely to cost him his life if left untreated. The Koda Fund was there to pay for this very expensive surgery. On Saturday, February 15, Buddy Jo, healed from his ordeal, was adopted to a wonderful home. He is now living the life that he deserves, and that the New Hampshire SPCA and The Koda Fund was able to give back to him. "The support and generosity for the events held for The Koda Fund has been more than I could have ever imagined! I'm thrilled that so many animals are benefitting!" said Holland. |

Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
SEATTLE -- David Price was nearly untouchable, giving up just a run, and he still walked off the field in the eighth inning in line for the loss.
Then came the ninth inning, and everything changed for the Tampa Bay Rays.David DeJesus homered and Matt Joyce hit a go-ahead RBI single as the Rays rallied in the ninth inning against Seattle closer Fernando Rodney to beat the Mariners 2-1 on Tuesday night."We needed a win, period," Price said. "Whether it was a blowout or a game like that."Tampa Bay had been reeling, coming in having lost five of six. Price (4-3) was also trying to turn things around, having lost his last two decisions. Before the game he watched highlights from his 2012 Cy Young-winning season and he changed up his uniform for the game, going with high socks for the first time since he played for Triple-A Durham in 2009."Figured I needed to switch it up a little bit, and I guess it worked," Price said.Price kept the Mariners off balance most of the night, allowing one run and six hits in his second complete game this season. Eight of his 12 strikeouts came on called third strikes."David dominated it. Really, we don't win it without him pitching tonight," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "His focus was outstanding. The way he handled every moment -- when there was a little trouble, he didn't lose his tempo or his rhythm."He just stayed there and made pitches when he needed to."As good as Price was on the mound, Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma had been better, throwing eight scoreless innings. But Rodney didn't hold up his end of the pitchers' duel.Rodney (1-2) had a 2-2 count on DeJesus when the designated hitter sent a fly ball down the right-field line, and all right fielder Stefen Romero could do was watch as the ball cleared the wall with a couple of rows to spare."I looked at the outfielder, he got to the wall, and I was like, `Oh gosh, I've got a shot," DeJesus said.With two outs, James Loney golfed a single up the middle and was replaced by pinch-runner Sean Rodriguez. Desmond Jennings' hard grounder to short hopped past Brad Miller, and then Joyce's fly to right-center dropped in front of a diving James Jones to score Rodriguez."It's been a tough start for us, and hopefully this is something that will get us going," Joyce said. "This is definitely something we needed."The Mariners took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Jones led off with a double down the left-field line and later scored on Robinson Cano's groundout to first.Iwakuma, making his third start after opening the season on the disabled list with a finger injury, gave up a double to DeJesus in the first, then retired 13 in a row before the Rays picked up a pair of singles in the fifth. Tampa Bay's only other hit off Iwakuma was Joyce's single to lead off the eighth, but Iwakuma finished off that inning -- and his night -- with a called strikeout of Wil Myers with the runner stranded on first.It was the second straight eight-inning shutout outing for Iwakuma, who has now thrown 24 straight scoreless innings at home dating to last season. He didn't get the chance to try for his first career complete game, though, as Rodney came on and ended up with his second blown save."Kuma was out of gas," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "I've got one of the best closers in the game. This guy's going to save a lot of games for us, it just didn't go his way tonight."Game notes
Before the game, Maddon said he was encouraging his players to use old-school cologne for the game in an effort to shake the team out of its slump. "Aroma matters," he said. Maddon added that he hoped the smells would conjure up warm memories of the players' fathers. "I'm hoping for this really awful odor in the dugout with all these scents tonight. That would be outstanding." ... Maddon also used the more traditional method of mixing up the lineup. Myers (leadoff), DeJesus (No. 2) and 2B Ben Zobrist (No. 4) were in those spots for the first time this season. ... Rodney has allowed a baserunner in 10 of his 13 save opportunities.

Glee's newest character, Irish exchange student Rory Flanagan, has build up a pretty respectable fan base in his short time on the series. So much so that Damian McGinty, the Glee Project winner who portrays Rory, has been given an extended stay on the show. We're not certain how many more episodes McGinty will have, but the show has a history of changing things around for new characters: Heather Morris started out on the show as a behind-the-scenes dance instructor, and look at her now. Glee airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. -AOLTV
In Friday's Casting Roundup, we reported that Kate Walsh would be returning to Grey's Anatomy in a very special episode that examined hypothetical realities for the characters. Walsh's appearance as Dr. Addison Montgomery will play an integral part in Dr. Derek Shepherd's (Patrick Dempsey) "alternate reality," in which the two never split up. But an even more dramatic, more suprising character will return: Ellis, Dr. Meredith Grey's (Ellen Pompeo) now-deceased mother, played by Kate Burton. Burton will revive her role in a reality in which she (obviously) never died, and never developed Alzheimer's Disease. Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. -EW
House seems to love bringing back old friends, for reasons that aren't too mysterious. And of course, there have also been a few reunions with old lovers. But this new returning guest castmember extends beyond either of these realms: House is preparing for the return of a green card wife: Karolina Wydra, who played Dominica, Dr. House's (Hugh Laurie) own green card spouse last season. Although Dominica has been absent from the spotlight for some time now, she and the doc are clearly not entirely out of one another's lives—as proven by her upcoming, early 2012 appearance. House airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. -TVLine
The SyFy network has a niche audience, but it seems they're reaching for new demographic with the new TV movie, Jersey Shore Shark Attack, which is, exactly what it sounds like. And its cast is...well, also not much different than what you'd expect. Vinny Guadagnino is the only Jersey Shore castmember to be involved in the movie, playing a reporter who covers a story of beachside rampaging sharks. Vinny is joined by more actory actors, Tony Sirico (The Sopranos). Paul Sorvino (GoodFellas), William Atherton (Die Hard), Jack Scalia (Dallas) and *N Sync's Joey Fatone. Take all that in while you consider just how amazing this whole project sounds, and mark your calendar for its airdate sometime in the summer of 2012. -EW

There's a Polar Bear In our Frigidaire-- He likes it 'cause it's cold in there. With his seat in the meat And his face in the fish And his big hairy paws In the buttery dish, He's nibbling the noodles, He's munching the rice, He's slurping the soda, He's licking the ice. And he lets out a roar If you open the door. And it gives me a scare To know he's in there-- That Polary Bear In our Fridgitydaire.
One picture puzzle piece Lyin' on the sidewalk, One picture puzzle piece Soakin' in the rain. It might be a button of blue On the coat of the woman Who lived in a shoe. It might be a magical bean, Or a fold in the red Velvet robe of a queen. It might be the one little bite Of the apple her stepmother Gave to Snow White. It might be the veil of a bride Or a bottle with some evil genie inside. It might be a small tuft of hair On the big bouncy belly Of Bobo the Bear. It might be a bit of the cloak Of the Witch of the West As she melted to smoke. It might be a shadowy trace Of a tear that runs down an angel's face. Nothing has more possibilities Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.
Danny O'Dare, the dancin' bear, Ran away from the County Fair, Ran right up to my back stair And thought he'd do some dancin' there. He started jumpin' and skippin' and kickin', He did a dance called the Funky Chicken, He did the Polka, he did the Twist, He bent himself into a pretzel like this. He did the Dog and the Jitterbug, He did the Jerk and the Bunny Hug. He did the Waltz and the Boogaloo, He did the Hokey-Pokey too. He did the Bop and the Mashed Potata, He did the Split and the See Ya Later. And now he's down upon one knee, Bowin' oh so charmingly, And winkin' and smilin'--it's easy to see Danny O'Dare wants to dance with me.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed! His underwear is hanging on the lamp. His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair, And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp. His workbook is wedged in the window, His sweater's been thrown on the floor. His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV, And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door. His books are all jammed in the closet, His vest has been left in the hall. A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed, And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall. Whosever room this is should be ashamed! Donald or Robert or Willie or-- Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear, I knew it looked familiar!
Last night, while I lay thinking here, some Whatifs crawled inside my ear and pranced and partied all night long and sang their same old Whatif song: Whatif I'm dumb in school? Whatif they've closed the swimming pool? Whatif I get beat up? Whatif there's poison in my cup? Whatif I start to cry? Whatif I get sick and die? Whatif I flunk that test? Whatif green hair grows on my chest? Whatif nobody likes me? Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me? Whatif I don't grow talle? Whatif my head starts getting smaller? Whatif the fish won't bite? Whatif the wind tears up my kite? Whatif they start a war? Whatif my parents get divorced? Whatif the bus is late? Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight? Whatif I tear my pants? Whatif I never learn to dance? Everything seems well, and then the nighttime Whatifs strike again!
I am writing these poems From inside a lion, And it's rather dark in here. So please excuse the handwriting Which may not be too clear. But this afternoon by the lion's cage I'm afraid I got too near. And I'm writing these lines From inside a lion, And it's rather dark in here.
If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school. The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool. A crumb of cake would be a feast And last you seven days at least, A flea would be a frightening beast If you were one inch tall. If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door, And it would take about a month to get down to the store. A bit of fluff would be your bed, You'd swing upon a spider's thread, And wear a thimble on your head If you were one inch tall. You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum. You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb. You'd run from people's feet in fright, To move a pen would take all night, (This poem took fourteen years to write-- 'Cause I'm just one inch tall).
Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon." Said the old man, "I do that too." The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants." "I do that too," laughed the little old man. Said the little boy, "I often cry." The old man nodded, "So do I." "But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems Grown-ups don't pay attention to me." And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. "I know what you mean," said the little old man.
"A genuine anteater," The pet man told me dad. Turned out, it was an aunt eater, And now my uncle's mad!
GOD says to me with a kind of smile, "Hey how would you like to be God awhile And steer the world?" "Okay," says I, "I'll give it a try. Where do I set? How much do I get? What time is lunch? When can I quit?" "Gimme back that wheel," says GOD. "I don't think you're quite ready YET."
Knock knock! Who's there? Me! Me who? That's right! What's right? Meehoo! That's what I want to know! What's what you want to know? Me, WHO? Yes, exactly! Exactly what? Yes, I have an Exactlywatt on a chain! Exactly what on a chain? Yes! Yes what? No, Exactlywatt! That's what I want to know! I told you - Exactlywatt! Exactly WHAT? Yes! Yes what? Yes, it's with me! What's with you? Exactlywatt - that's what's with me. Me who? Yes! GO AWAY! Knock knock...
Oh, I'm being eaten By a boa constrictor, A boa constrictor, A boa constrictor, I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor, And I don't like it--one bit. Well, what do you know? It's nibblin' my toe. Oh, gee, It's up to my knee. Oh my, It's up to my thigh. Oh, fiddle, It's up to my middle. Oh, heck, It's up to my neck. Oh, dread, It's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff . . .
Once I spoke the language of the flowers, Once I understood each word the caterpillar said, Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings, And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed. Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets, And joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow, Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . . How did it go? How did it go?
I opened my eyes And looked up at the rain, And it dripped in my head And flowed into my brain, And all that I hear as I lie in my bed Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head. I step very softly, I walk very slow, I can't do a handstand-- I might overflow, So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said-- I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.
Tell me who can Catch a toucan? Lou can. Just how few can Ride the toucan? Two can. What kind of goo can Stick you to the toucan? Glue can. Who can write some More about the toucan? You can!
Birds are flyin' south for winter. Here's the Weird-Bird headin' north, Wings a-flappin', beak a-chatterin', Cold head bobbin' back 'n' forth. He says, "It's not that I like ice Or freezin' winds and snowy ground. It's just sometimes it's kind of nice To be the only bird in town."
There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends.


text: The Pacific Rim Global Health Framework consortium brings together institutions in the U.S., India, China, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Thailand to promote the study of global health and to collaborate on the development of state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary, scientific training that will lead to the reduction of chronic, non-communicable diseases. Emphasis in the PRGHF is on the prevention of tobacco use, alcohol abuse, sedentary behavior, and obesity--all of which have been impacted by lifestyle changes in response to cultural and societal transitions fueled by economic growth, technological advances, and western influences. Meeting the challenge of this global phenomenon necessitates the development and implementation of innovative training programs that address the underlying behavioral, physiological, and environmental mechanisms responsible for the spread of these diseases.
