Old Glory: Unfurling History
Click on image to enlarge
By Karal Ann Marling
The Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia in the winter of 1776, received an urgent message. "Please fix upon some particular color for a flag." It was from an understandably exasperated George Washington. The Continental Armies had taken the field under a babble of emblems and devices. Even the Grand Union flag that flew over naval vessels confused the issue with its display of the crosses of the British flag in its canton. Every era has a flag story to tell.
So, at Washington's request, Congress again wrestled with the design, and on June 14, 1777, almost a year after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, on the date still celebrated as Flag Day, the United States finally had a flag all its own.
Old Glory: Unfurling History describes the histories and myths surrounding the flag of the United States of America from its revolutionary birth to the present day, and is lavishly illustrated from the archives of the Library of Congress.

I don't even know of anyone who would say that the 2.6 development model was a failure, so why would they want to change that now? If he wants to remove old drivers then Alan can wait until 3.1 or 3.2, there is no reason to hastily rip out these drivers when the merge window closes in less than a week. I think Linus would see it the same way.
I just went back to read the thread on LKML and H. Peter Anvin said it better than I could:
And then Linus agreed.

250 foot Copper 14/4 White Speaker Wire Spool, CM/Inwall ratedThis white 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) 4 conductor Speaker cable is CM rated for in-wall use, though it need not be used strictly in-wall. It comes in a convenient 250 foot spool and is ideal for wiring the speakers in your home theater or house to your receiver. Each conductor (wire) is composed of 105 0.16 mm strands made from pure copper which provides the optimal conductivity/low resistance to drive high quality audio to your speakers.
Our speaker wire is made from pure copper. Some companies use the marketing term oxygen free copper which really means there is no iron oxide in the wire. When oxides of iron are in the copper, the conductivity of the wire reduces due to the higher resistance of the iron oxide. So it is in your best interest to install speaker wire made with pure copper like ours are. Another misnomer is that copper clad aluminum is the same quality as pure copper; this is false. The resistance (Ohms) between the two differ and as resistance in the cable increases the power delivered to the speaker is reduced. The sound will be lower and can lose some of its quality. If copper's conductivity, due to resistance, is rated at 100% then aluminum's conductivity would be rated at 61%. In order to deliver the same quality of sound with aluminum one would need a much larger gauge.

Securing Anguilla in a Mass Casualty Situation 11-15 October
A five-day mass casualty management workshop, funded by the Pan American Health Organisation, has been a main focus in Anguilla this week at Masara Resort, Katouche, with a number of participants drawn from key departments in the public sector in attendance.
Dr. Bonnie Richardson-Lake, PNO Serene Carter-Davis, Mr. Delvin Ferguson, Mr. Lynrod Brooks, Steve McDowell and Chanelle Petty-Barrett
Health Planner, Lynrod Brooks, who chaired the opening ceremony, noted that emergencies and crises, stemming from various disasters, had become more frequent in recent times, especially in middle and low income countries. He observed that this had led to disruption of healthcare programmes and essential services and slowing the process of sustainable human development. He concluded that many lives could have been saved if affected communities were better prepared with response systems already in place.
He stated that the overall concept of the mass casualty management workshop was to train the participants to be involved in a community response to a large-scale disaster.
Mrs. Chanelle Petty-Barrett, Acting Deputy Governor, said it was the responsibility of every Government to ensure public safety and provide emergency relief in a crisis. "It was for this reason that Government must invest in preparing for mass casualty incidents," she went on, in part. "Whether such incidents are the result of natural disasters, with which we are familiar, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, or those with which we have had less experience, such as tsunamis, we must be prepared. Man-made disasters are no less intimidating and while, as a tiny Caribbean island, we may escape the threat of global terror, we cannot lose sight of our vulnerability to man-made disasters. In reality, the prime response to a mass casualty event falls to the emergency first responders and the medical community.
Participants in the workshop
"The Ministry of Health, therefore, has a major role to play in national emergency involving mass casualty. With this in mind, it would be prudent for us to increase the preparedness of the health sector to manage the consequences of mass casualty incidents by building capacity. It is important, though, to recognise that while the Ministry of Health will have to be the focal point for coordination and communication in the aftermath of a mass casualty incident, most mass casualty incidents will require a national response. The success or failure of the response depends on the cooperation of several sectors, many of which are represented here today, as well as the assistance of regional and international partners. Our strategy for managing mass casualty incidents must be directed at enabling all sectors to prepare for, respond to, and recover from, a mass casualty incident. The fact that you are about to embark on a mass casualty management workshop, indicates that the Ministry of Health, and the Pan American Health Organisation, are taking proactive measures to reduce risk and improve response."
The PAHO Consultant/Mass Casualty Trainer, Delvin Ferguson, coined the phrase that the Caribbean was "a beautiful place in the wrong spot." He further stated that the Caribbean was classified as one of the world's most disaster-prone regions. This was due in part to volcanoes, numerous hurricanes as well as earthquakes such as this year's massive one in Haiti, where there was tremendous loss of life.
Mr. Ferguson stressed the importance for everyone in the various sectors, and in the community, to be properly educated as it related to mass casualty management. He noted that while disaster responders from outside Anguilla would provide assistance, it was in fact the people of the island who were expected to do most of the work, and so it was up to them to get their own island prepared.
The workshop was declared open by Dr. Bonnie Richardson-Lake, Permanent Secretary, Health and Social Development. She observed that there were similar training workshops in the past and it was important to build on the past. She listed a number of disasters likely to affect the region, all of which could constitute a mass casualty event.
"The involvement of all responders, including the health sector, the Department of Disaster Management, the Royal Anguilla Police Force, Fire and Rescue Services, Civil Aviation, Red Cross, Port Authority, Immigration and Customs, are all very crucial partners in disaster response," she emphasised.
Dr. Richardson-Lake congratulated the facilitators, the rest of the team from the Ministry of Health and, in particular, Katrina Smith, the Country Programme Officer from PAHO, for coordinating the training workshop. She was grateful to Mr. Ferguson for returning to Anguilla as the main facilitator.
Delvin Ferguson, the PAHO consultant, Mrs. Serene Carter-Davis, Chief Nursing Officer/Director Quality Assurance, and Steve McDowall, Senior Emergency Medical Technician were the main facilitators for the workshop. The training sessions from Monday morning, to Friday afternoon, included various mass casualty management exercises, group discussions and presentations.

Player Interest List v2.0 – Secondary
While we created an earlier version of this list, in large part due to the help of Steiny, this list has absolutely exploded. Now, So look for the rest of the positional groups one by one over the next 24 hours. Make sure to thank Steiny for his hard work in the comments.
While the Jets have interviewed and scouted literally hundresd of players, here's our best attempt to come up with a list (with links to prove it) that the Jets have had some sort of extended contact with the following players.
CB Ray Fisher (Indiana) 5-10, 185,
Projection: 5-7 Description: Former WR with just one year of CB skills. Also can KR/PR. Raw talent, but talented.
CB Brandon Ghee (Wake Forest) 5-11, 191, 4.37 40yd dash
Projection: 2-3 Description: Has a meeting set up with the Jets, had an impressive 3.98 short shuttle on his pro day. Good in coverage whether man or zone, excellent athlete who plays larger than his size. Can be too aggressive at times, needs to improve his footwork and isn't projected as an NFL "playmaker" according to some scouts.
NEW CB Kareem Jackson (Alabama) 5-11, 196, 4.40 40yd dash
Projection: 1-2 Description: Jackson was scheduled to visit the Jets. Solid press corner, who plays well at the line of scrimmage.
CB Robert "Reggie" McClain (Connecticut) 5-9, 194, 4.42 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 7 / UDFA Description: Pulled up with a bad hamstring during his pro day, will spend time with a few teams (Jags, 49ers, Patriots) and the Jets. McClain also showed impressive athletics with a 38″ vert and 23 reps at 225. Can play nickel and posted an impressive 12.6 YPR on punts (6th among seniors) in 2009.
CB Devin McCourty (Rutgers) 5-11, 193, 4.48 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 1-2-Description: Identical twin already plays CB for Titans, very smart, better with WRs ahead than behind, excellent special teamer.
CB Patrick Robinson (Florida State) 5-11, 190, 4.46 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 1-2 Description: Press cover corner, needs growth in zone & run support.
NEW CB Jerome Murphy (South Florida) 6-0, 196, 4.50 40yd dash
Projection: 2-3 Description: Spoke with the Jets. Murphy lacks great size (6-0, 196 pounds), but is a powerful hitter, and may be moved to safety in the NFL. A physical player, he needs to be a better tackler and is a bit slight for his height.
NEW CB Kyle Wilson (Boise State) 5-10, 194, 4.43 40yd dash
Projection: 1 Description: Wilson visited the New York Jets and is one of the best playmakers in this draft class from the secondary. Playing in the WAC will draw some questions as his abilities to transition.
NEW S Nate Allen (South Florida) 6-1, 207, 4.40yd dash
Projection: Rd 2 Description: The Jets had a private interview/trip with Allen, nicknamed "The Golden Child." Allen loves the game, and is a solid safety up around the line and back in coverage. Would be a step up from current safeties.
NEW S Stevie Brown (Michigan) 5-11, 212, 4.52yd dash
Projection: Rd 6-7 Description: The Jets like Brown and spent a lot of time quizzing former UM coach Lloyd Carr before spending significant time with Brown. Not invited to Combine, could be core special teamer and was solid in run support for the Wolverines.
FS Anthony Levine (Tennessee State) 5-11, 193 4.43 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 4 Description: Jets asked for 'more film' at Levine's Pro Day. Levine plays bigger than his size, but needs to improve his finnesse and coverage skills.
NEW FS Mike Newton (SUNY Buffalo) 5-10, 197, 4.40 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 7 Description: Jets attended his Pro Day workout.
NEW FS Terrell Skinner (University of Maryland) 6-2, 214, 4.59 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 4 Description: Transitioned from WR to FS as a freshman, has a very long wingspan (6-9) and is a willing open field tackler. Not known as a playmaker. Likely initial special teamer with upside.
NEW FS Donovan Warren (Michigan) 6-0, 193, 4.62 40yd dash
Projection: 5-6 Description: Warren interviewed, with the Jets at the Combine. Warren noted that his meeting with Ryan was "a real good meeting."
Analysis: The Jets are looking for a corner who can play nickel/slot and might project to a larger role down the road. Man coverage and agility are traits they are definitively looking for in a corner. If the player can also be a punt returner, that might be a bonus for the Jets. While the Jets added Cromartie this offseason, they're not opposed to using a high pick on a corner. As far as safeties, they've looked at a wide range of players, but most seem to not be par excellence when it comes to their coverage skills, leading you think think they are leaning towards a 46-type safety. It would appear that other than a very short list of players, they'd likely try and draft a player late.
Two ways this works out and Toby hit on one of them w/his last comment.
If the Mets can break the 80 win barrier and start drawing closer to 3m than 2m in 2015 then the club ought to be generating a significant profit, raising payroll closer to $120m should be possibly without bleeding red ink and a $15m under-peforming deal should be easily absorbed. And if the Mets aren't drawing at least over 2.5m in 2015 then 2016 will be ugly when Harvey first hits arb.
The other way is if Juan Lagares can develop into a 95-ish wRC+ hitter in 2015 while Cesar Puello posts 2 WAR in his first full season with the big club. This would allow the Mets to trade Granderson (maybe with some cash) midway through his deal.
Given it appears that the Wilpon's no longer have a way to finance annual operating losses - getting to .500 this season and stopping the attendance hemorrhage may be absolutely essential to the future. If that's true then a bad long-term deal or two this season that allows the club to hit the .500 mark may be the only way to have a shot at increased payroll in the future that will be necessary to acquire outside talent when Harvey is back.
Without a "4th year" in all likelyhood Granderson wouldn't be a Mets.
In his final year, Granderson will probably come closer to justifying his 2018 paycheck than Young will this year. 15 million will end up being the equivalent of 7.25 by then anyway.
My question will be whether the contract has a no-trade clause. By 2017, if need be, he could always be shipped to the AL as a designated hitter.
I'm sure that most people would rather have had the deal be only three years. But this was a deal that HAD to be done. It reminds me a lot of the Pedro deal. We needed to overpay a little to re-legitimize the franchise and make it an attractive place for other players to sign.
I was against the signing initially. But the Zips projections favor him being about a 1.5-2.0 WAR player each year of the contract. At 15 million a season it's not that much of an overpay.
I would say my argument is two-fold, one is that I think he's capable of a rebound to about his career average, which is an impressive .261/.340/.488 and that even if he is a 1-1.5 WAR player in the end of his career the Mets won't be in a bad spot even if their payroll isn't one of the top in baseball as we're seeing a massive shift in the value of a win due to the influx of new money in baseball. At the current valuation of a win, if Granderson were a 1.5 win player, it would still only be about a 5 mil overpay.
Also worth noting is that Granderson will be younger at the end of this deal than Ellsbury will be at the end of his.
This is a team that will strike out a ton. Lagares, Young, Granderson, OK, they'll cover a lot of ground in the field. But they will bring a whole new meaning to the term Generation K.
if there is only one year where he is overpaid, then I'll be one happy camper! I think on this one you need to credit ownership with getting it done. It just needed to happen!
I agree with the EDIT. Although I'd replace "will" with "had better be".
I really didn't want to guarantee him four years, but with Choo poised to sign for (at least) double what Granderson got, and the next best option the vastly overrated Nelson Cruz, the Mets absolutely needed to make this happen, and if four years was the sticking point, so be it. I can't hate the deal.
So far as other needs go, I'm very lukewarm on Drew. Before the Mets enter the market for him, they need to go get at least one solid, reliable starter. I thought Dan Haren would have been perfect for what they need, 30 starts, ~180 average or better innings at a reasonably priced one year contract. I don't think they get Arroyo, they won't be in on Garza, Santana, or Jiminez, I see Maholm as a realistic candidate. After that, if there's any money left, then they can get Drew.
I am neither upset, nor thrilled by the deal. The team is better than it was yesterday....which isn't saying much I know. Hopefully they get 2 decent years out of him before the inevitable takes place.
I think grandy will be a good deal for the first 2-3 years. Should provide + defense, power, and speed for us. I'm excited.
Now we need a SS, and I'm good. Go get Drew. Give up the 3rd rounder.
Nice of SNY to flip the switch on the comment application mid, biggest story of the week.
I said previously I'm torn with excitement on this. Grandy is a good move, but in reality this really just replaces the production Byrd gave the mets last year. Defensively this makes the outfield AWESOME... which will help the young pitchers. But Grandy isn't going to out produce what Byrd gave the mets last year.
More moves need to get done, before i'm Legit excited about 2014... but this at least helps.
@Marcus Jensen The problem with all of these projection is small sample size. This is why stats have to be supplemented with scouting. I'm comfortable with Granderson being a 2.5 -3.0 WAR player his first 2 years.
@Marcus Jensen Take the over on his Zips too, it only knows that he was hurt last year, not that it was a broken arm (which is usually considered a freak occurrence, not a sign of a player breaking down)
"Also worth noting is that Granderson will be younger at the end of this deal than Ellsbury will be at the end of his."
Actually that is NOT worth noting as the only reason its true is because Ellsbury's birthday is in Sept and Granderson's is in March. Both players will have their age 36 season in the last year of their deals. The reason the Ellsbury deal could be better is that 5 of the 7 years he will be under 35, while with Granderson its only 2 of 4 years.
@lakes I am happy to see the Mets get Granderson from a pure baseball standpoint both on the field and off. Grandy will finally add protection for Wright, the guy can hammer. Those long fly balls I think will start turning into doubles and triples at Citi Field, and he is not a product of Yankee Stadium, 48% of HRs were on the road. Yes, his swing and approach changed to fit Yankee Stadium which made him susceptible to the offspeed and pitches away. Hoping his approach will again adapt to Citi, he will also provide some much needed leadersip for the young players.Personally I would rather see the Mets NOT invest money in the starting rotation, most of the guys we are all seeing being talked about wont take a 1 year deal and anything more than one year is a pure waste unless Neise or Gee become expendable at the All Star break trade deadline. I can see the Mets focusing on low risk high reward stop gaps as they already have Neise, Wheeler, Gee, Mejia and guys like Montero and Syndergaard have already been mentioned by the Mets as being guys they expect to see this summer in Queens. I would anticipate spring training invite for the final spot until those guys are reading in June/July.
Would not mind seeing Davis and/or Murph moved to Tampa for Escobar (they are looking for a 2b), or even packaged for upper level position player prospects to free up money to make a run at Drew. Jed Lowrie is a possibility but Alderson may not want to part with the pieces, though I would move Montero for Lowrie.
I highly doubt it's the 3rd rounder that would stop them... More the money and commitment required for a non-elite level SS.
Not that i don't like Drew, but considering what Peralta got, he could cost near what Grandy just got.. 4 years 48 mil maybe... not sure, but that will be the hold-up... not a 3rd round pick.
@Mark Kelly Wasn't our call - I promise!
No doubt - I blame Granderson 100%. :)
My comment was wiped out completely, but I share your sentiments. If they increase payroll back above 120 million, it's not as big of a deal. If they don't, they need to look to move him once he bounces back. Either way, the FA OF market is bleak next year, so the Mets should really look into moving Granderson if they can…an AL team might give up a couple of decent pieces for him.
btw - I'm in double stealth mode now, my avatar now buried beyond a fake Twitter account. I'm slipping deeper and deeper into the internet. Someday, I shall just be THX 1138….
What small sample size with Granderson? He's got a whole lot historical data he isn't a rookie.
* 4 of 7, rather
J.P. Ricciardi told me at last month's GM Meetings that the Mets would be willing to make that move for the "right" player, but that signing two free agents tied to draft pick compensation was unlikely.from MLBtraderumors
@Mark Kelly Drew is a 3-4 WAR SS. Don't be fooled by 2012 where he missed 11 months. He's only 31 in 2014 and will only cost around 4/48 IMO
Meh, it's not a big deal anyhow. Most the people who hate livefyre were annoying trolls.
It's ok... Dealing in a similar world i know these things tend to happen... Just compltely funny i just posted... And came back and it's gone and a new system is in place.
I figured there would be a heads up from some of the bloggers, had it have been a planned flip over.
Other than no EDIT feature, it's a much better system.
In terms of the 120 million dollar comment, I was just speaking about my dislike of the 3rd and 4th years…no edit button in live-fire, life-wire, whatever...
I wonder if it would change if one of those guys market falls apart and the price comes down. But yea, lots of factors... most of them green and rectangular...
I think it's more unlikely because of 10 reasons other reasons before it is "Losing of a 3rd round pick"
Exactly, i don't think losing the 2nd round pick really came into the picture.
@Mark Kelly I could have said the same about Grandy
I don't disagree, and it's not that i don't like him... I just said i doubt it would be the 3rd round pick that stops the mets from signing him... It will be the monetary
@Mark Kelly The comment above wasn't that clear - I posted when I thought I could edit. Here's the summary.
1) I like the fact that the Mets are finally adding some MLBers this offseason
2) I don't like the 4th year. The 3rd year I can live with. If the payroll has flexibility to go back to normal big market levels, then I don't care about the 4th year as much…all teams need to be able to absorb losses at the end of contracts these days.
3) If payroll isn't increasing, I hope the plan is to shop Granderson once he rebounds this year. The market for OF's is bleak next year, and Granderson could bring back a couple of nice pieces while taking the risky 3/4 years off the books.
4) Even if payroll isn't ballooning in the near future, I think it would be wise to shop Grandy next offseason if he rebounds, given the market.
5) Again, happy the Mets are adding actual talent and not "hope-for-the-best" players...

Such material has high durability index and is able to endure harsh environments and often temperature changes. In addition, devices and items made from galvanized sheet metal are easy to mount and maintain, that is why Westside Wholesale offers Duct Couplers and other adaptors made from this specific material.

How to Select
How to select Duct Couplers
Duct couplers are often purchased at the last minute, when all other elements of the ventilation system have been installed. Because of this factor, people tend to purchase whatever they can find or whatever is left in stock. The guide that we have prepared will help you select the best couplers for your system.
The first thing you will need to do is check the requirements of applications that need to be connected. Since couplings are used to connect ducting or devices of different sizes, you need to ensure that you select the coupling that will fit them both. If some of the applications in your system have an unusual diameter and you can't seem to find a coupler that will fit it, there's a trick you can use. It is always possible to apply two couplings instead of one to reach the size that you need.
The next step in selecting a duct coupler is to specify the design that will fit your needs the most. Because there are certain limitations and rules applied to duct coupler's installation, find out what they are and whether the coupler that you select will comply with such rules. This step is easier to complete than you think—simply read the instructions that are listed in the coupling's description.
Finally, don't forget to pay attention to special requirements and additional features of a coupler. For example, it can be equipped with a duct guard or a damper from one end or require additional mounting brackets during installation. Such features depend on the mounting location and your personal preferences.
After all of the factors are considered, you may still have some unanswered questions. Here are the most important ones:
What material should a duct coupler be made from?
Galvanized steel or sheet metal is the best material to use for all duct applications and fittings. The reason to that is its exceptional resistance to pressure, moisture, temperature and dirt. In addition to that, galvanized steel offers flexibility and can take any form you want.
How much money will I spend for duct couplers?
The answer to this question varies for every ventilation system. If you have a small house and only require few couplers you will spend significantly less money than someone who is buying duct supplies for an office building. In addition to that, the higher is the quality of a duct coupler the higher is its price. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that cheaper items have lower quality. Some of the top brands offer duct supplies for every price range.

Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die
- 17 October 2014 — 12 April 2015 *on now
This year the Museum of London welcomes an exciting new exhibition, delving into the mind of the world's most famous fictional detective; Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
Asking searching questions such as who is Sherlock Holmes, and why does he still conjure up such enduring fascination, this major exhibition – London's first on the detective since 1951 – will explore how Sherlock Holmes has transcended literature onto stage and screen and continues to attract huge audiences to this day.
Going beyond film and fiction, visitors to the museum will be transported to the real Victorian London – the backdrop for many of Conan Doyle's stories. Through early film, photography, paintings and original artefacts, the exhibition will recreate the atmosphere of Sherlock's London, with visitors able to envisage the places that the detective visited and imagine they are standing on the pavement of the Strand watching the horse drawn traffic pass by.

World City: 1950s-today
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
After facing poverty and war, London emerged as a rejuvenated, vibrant modern city for the masses.
London became a new kind of world city. A youth and multicultural revolution saw Londoners absorb new values and claim new rights. By the end of the 20th century, the diversity of its people was at the heart of London's identity.
Homes were transformed by new forms of entertainment, technology and fashion. Television puppets Bill and Ben delighted London's children in the 1950s, the first Apple Mac computers appeared in Londoners' homes in the 1980s and fashion in the capital shifted from Biba and Mary Quant in the 1960s to Alexander McQueen and Tatty Devine in the 2000s.

People's City: 1850s-1940s
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
How London's rapid expansion created a wealthy but divided city.
By the 1850s, London was the world's wealthiest city but success came at a price. Population growth created a divided city, with Londoners living in separate worlds of rich and poor.
This was a time of conflict when workers united to fight for their rights, imprisoned Suffragettes went on hunger strike and communist and fascist groups emerged as the nation moved closer to war. It was also a time of wealth and glamour.
The social divide is reflected in the galleries. A room wallpapered with Charles Booth's poverty maps sits alongside a stunning art deco lift from Selfridges, a glamorous symbol of the emerging West End.
As you leave the dazzling lights of the theatres and restaurants, enter a dark and immersive war room decorated starkly with a suspended bomb, showing a blitzed city unsure of its survival.

An interactive story for students with special educational needs told as a chant, in call-and-response. The resource includes teachers notes on how to use the story with your class. The main
storyteller (in this case, the voice on the story's audio track) calls a line of the story and everyone
responds by repeating the line back. This style of telling stories was developed as a teaching strategy
by Keith Park, a teacher, author and storyteller, as a way of including pupils with severe and profound
learning disabilities in larger group activities, and make drama and literacy work more accessible.
Londinium game
Designed for KS2 students, this game uses Roman objects and information about the shops on a Roman high street to help players learn about life in Roman London. Take a trip through a Londinium high street, identifying the items and returning them to the correct shops.
SEN accessible object pages
These accessible object pages aim to help students with learning difficulties interact online with objects in our collection. They use a variety of media to interpret the objects so pupils can explore a 3D object by zooming into it and moving it around. There is a short written caption along with a key-word signing video of this caption with audio. Where possible, an image is also provided to give the object more context.
Starting out
A game for KS4 students to help teach financial management. Players imagine they have just left school and are about to start a new life in London. They choose a career path and where they will live then make choices about their lifestyle and how to spend their money.

CNN — A pair of robotic twins that have been diligently mapping the moon this year will go out with a bang Monday.
The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) probes Ebb and Flow will crash into a mountain on the moon Monday afternoon, ending a fruitful mission to study the surface and composition of the moon.
"Scientifically we are learning a great deal about not only the moon but about the early evolution of terrestrial planets," said principal investigator Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at a press conference Thursday.
Thanks to GRAIL, scientists now have the highest-resolution gravity field map of any celestial body, NASA said. That means the probes have been making a high-quality map of the gravitational field of the moon, which give scientists unprecedented insight into what's below the surface and how the moon may have formed.
Results from this mission have delivered several other important findings, Zuber said. These include:
--Evidence that the crust of the moon is much thinner than scientists believed.
--Some of the large-impact basins dug into the moon's mantle, which is useful because scientists want to understand the moon's composition. It is believed that the composition of the Earth's mantle is similar to that of the moon.
--The moon's crust is much more fractured than scientists thought.
--It appears the crusts of planets have been bombarded in a similar way, including Mars. If there were water on Mars, as scientists believe there may have once been, where would it have gone? GRAIL, looking at the moon, provides a clue:
"These fractures provide a pathway deep inside the planet, and it's very easy to envision now how a possible ocean at the surface could have found its way deep into the crust of a planet," Zuber said.
Another major finding: Identifying large, lava-filled cracks (dykes) which are hundreds of miles long and exist about 6 miles below the surface. There's no record of them at the surface of the moon.
"These dykes actually provide evidence for early expansion of the moon shortly after it formed," Zuber said. "This had been predicted by models, but no evidence had been found."
The aluminum content in the moon's crust is similar to what's found on Earth, which supports the theory that the moon was born when a Mars-sized body slammed into Earth. That body and Earth mixed so well that material thrown off into the moon is indistinguishable from Earth material.
A side benefit of the GRAIL mission, Zuber said, is that scientists have improved their knowledge of the latitude-longitude grid of the moon.
"If there is a place where a future robotic or human mission wanted to land, you would be able to do that extremely precisely," Zuber said.
The spacecraft have performed "flawlessly," Zuber said, and it's all according to plan that they are running low on fuel.
After Friday, the science instruments on board will turn off. The probes are about the size of a washer and dryer that would be found in an apartment, scientists said.
The Ebb probe will crash at 2:28:40 p.m. PST Monday, followed by Flow about 20 seconds later. These impacts will happen in the dark.
"We are not expecting a big flash or a big explosion," Zuber said, adding that the impacts will likely not be visible from Earth.
Data collected by GRAIL between March and May has already been released; the rest will become available at the end of May 2013, scientists said.
Scientists took care to not crash the probes into historic sites where humans have previously landed probes on the moon. Right now, the likelihood of hitting one of those sites is eight in 1,000,000, said GRAIL project manager David Lehman of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
As for exactly what will happen to the successful twins on Monday, Lehman describes it like this:
"It's going to make a crater on the moon, and they're going to be completely blown apart at the time."

Arraignment set for parents of Rochester students who skipped school
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
ROCHESTER — After establishing a controversial program that received national attention last year, the Rochester Police Department has announced an arraignment date for at least six local parents and guardians who will face violation-level offenses for allegedly allowing their children to be truant.
He noted the process is taking longer than expected, where he initially thought an arraignment for parents and guardians would be held in January. But, he said the schools are taking their time with families to make sure they have made options available to them before the police step in.
"I haven't charged them because they're doing everything they can," he explained. "Some of the parents I have served with complaints — the effort isn't there. They look at it as 'There's nothing I can do about it.' They're not taking advantage of the school programs and those are the parents we need to take the next step. If they want to choose the diversion program, that option is open to them."
"I think that we've definitely heightened people's awareness of the importance of being on time and present at school each day and every day," Moriarty said. "I think that conversation was opened up through the publicity and through the work that we've been doing in the district …"

Gray Cook
Movement, Softcover
Quantity in Basket:None
Shipping Weight:2.50 pounds
Functional Movement Systems--Screening, Assessment, Corrective Strategies by Gray Cook with Lee Burton, Kyle Kiesel, Greg Rose & Milo Bryant
This is the SOFTCOVER edition. You can order the hardcover edition by clicking here, or the ebook edition by clicking here.
Gray's premise is beautiful in its simplicity: Training movement can fix muscles, but training muscles rarely fixes movement. Since all of sport is movement, his 80/20 approach is then astounding in its effectiveness. For the time invested, the FMS and its cousins are the best tools I've seen for producing bullet-proof athletes and pain-free non-athletes in record time.
Tim Ferriss, author of the #1 NY Times bestseller, The 4-Hour Workweek
Movement, the book, is a vivid discovery, a fundamental and explicit teaching in which the return to basics takes on a whole new meaning. In it, author Gray Cook crosses the lines between rehabilitation, conditioning and fitness, providing a clear model and a common language under which fitness and rehabilitation professionals can work together.
Exercise and rehabilitation time is valuable--too valuable not to use a system. Preparation is built on a systematic evaluation of everything we can control. This book uses a systematic approach to exercise and rehabilitation built on the fundamentals of authentic human movement.
Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
By using systematic logic and revisiting the natural developmental principals all infants employ as they learn to walk, run and climb, Gray forces a new look at motor learning, corrective exercise and modern conditioning practices.
The discoveries, lessons and approaches you'll learn--
- How to view and measure movement quality alongside quantity
- How to ascertain dysfunctional patterns with the Functional Movement Screen
- What clinicians need to know about the Selective Functional Movement Assessments
- When to apply corrective strategies and how to determine which strategies to use
- How to map movement patterns and understand movement as a behavior and not just as a mechanical idea
We have integrated many of Gray's movement principles and corrective strategies into our programs to help accomplish our mission of preserving and maintaining the Commander's combat power. The FMS screening and assessment tools are very useful in establishing the baseline for our performance training system.
Mike Strock, US NAVY, Human Performance Consultant
This book is not simply about the anatomy of moving structures. Rather, it serves a broader purpose to help the reader understand authentic human movement, and how the brain and body create and learn movement patterns. Our modern dysfunctions are a product of our isolated and incomplete approaches to exercise imposed on our sedentary lifestyles. A return to movement principles can create a more comprehensive exercise and rehabilitation model, a model that starts with movement.
I was skeptical when Gray and Lee first took me through the screening process. But by bringing out my weak spots, this honest evaluation told them exactly what I needed to work on. They taught me to think of my body in a different way, proving trainers and therapists don't need fancy equipment to do a good evaluation.
Michelle Wie, Professional Golfer
I don't have the writing skills to even begin to tell of the insights I've gained while working closely with Gray these past months. Prolific in writing, he's not, er... all that great at email, so most of our interactions are by phone. Gray's this brilliant guy from whom those gems of how the body works just flow during a conversation. Plenty often, I've had to make him stop talking to give me a chance to sort out a thought lingering from two sentences before.
And that's what will happen to you as you read his new book—nearly every page has a buried nugget that you'll have to stop reading to ponder, insights you'll be thinking about for the rest of the day. Still, you probably want to know about the structure of the book, after all this talk, what's it really about anyway? I spent a day distilling the content into a couple of sentences per chapter to help you decide if this is the right book for you.
I can say with confidence: Anyone who trains, coaches or treats individuals or teams will find value in this text.
Chapter 1—Introduction to Screening and Assessment
This introductory chapter builds the foundation you'll need to fully understand the purpose of screening movement. You'll learn the concept of movement patterns and how to recognize these patterns in action, as well as the history and primary goals of movement screening.
Chapter 2—Anatomical Science versus Functional Science
The next 16 pages expand on the differences between authentic movement and scientific anatomical function. The functional systems of muscles, joints and ligaments are covered, as are the fascial matrix, breathing and the neuromuscular network. Understanding movement deficiency and dysfunction and how these develop will illuminate your work, and clarify your explanations to your athletes, clients and patients.
Chapter 3—Understanding Movement
In Chapter 3, you'll gain an appreciation of the natural laws of basic movement before specific, with an overview of how to use screening, testing and assessment to classify movement proficiency or deficiency. You'll also get a summary of the differences between the two systems, the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA).
Chapter 4—Movement Screening
Where in your intake process should you screen? Can you screen an injured client or athlete? This section will help you place movement screening in your existing business model, or it will show you where your program structure might be improved.
Chapter 5—Functional Movement Systems and Movement Patterns
This summary explains the differences between the two systems, the FMS for fitness professionals and strength coaches, and the SFMA for medical professionals. You'll get a brief look at the systems, and finish with an appreciation of primitive and higher-level movement patterns.
Chapter 6—Functional Movement Screen Descriptions
The chapter used to cover the FMS will teach you the seven basic screens in detail, including where to stand, what to watch for during the movements and how to plan your modifications. You'll get a description of each screen, the purpose of each, tips for testing, implications and photographs showing how to score each test.
Chapter 7—SFMA Introduction and Top-Tier Tests
The top-tier assessments of the SFMA are covered in these 26 pages, which contain a discussion of the overlying considerations of functional versus dysfunctional and painful versus non-painful, the overriding criteria of the SFMA system. The seven elements of the top-tier will direct you to the breakout tests found in Chapter 8.
Chapter 8—SFMA Assessment Breakout Descriptions and Flowcharts
Taking 58 pages and 66 photographs to cover the SFMA breakouts will serve to remind medical professionals of the individual assessments, and at the same time make fitness trainers and strength coaches aware of the tests used by professionals to whom they refer clients and athletes. The rationale for each of the breakout regions will pull the process together for you as it simplifies the overall approach.
Chapter 9—Analyzing the Movements in Screens and Assessments
Chapter 9 teaches how to analyze the various test results. Using the tests of the Functional Movement Screen as the base, you'll learn what mistakes most beginners make in screening, how to distinguish between stability and mobility problems and how to determine asymmetries. Here you'll get your first introduction to reverse patterning (RP) and reactive neuromuscular training (RNT), two of the primary corrective tools of the Functional Movement Systems arsenal.
Chapter 10—Understanding Corrective Strategies
This begins the wrap-up: What do you do with the resulting screen and assessment information? The 20 pages of Chapter 10 comprise the performance pyramid and how to use it to form your corrective strategies. Understanding the differences between correct and corrective exercises, between challenging versus difficult, and having a selection of self-limiting exercises in your exercise menu will give you confidence as you assign and program exercises.
Chapter 11—Developing Corrective Strategies
Now that you've discovered dysfunctional patterns in your clients, athletes and patients, the next section will guide you in the corrective decisions that make up the three primary categories of mobility, stability and movement pattern retraining. You'll get comparisons of conditioning and corrective exercise, movement prep and movement correction, skill training and corrective prioritization, and understand when each is appropriate.
Chapter 12—Building the Corrective Framework
This chapter provides a checklist for your corrective decisions: pain, purpose, posture, position, pattern and plan. Even though every person's movement is unique, without this framework, your corrective path will not be as clear as it could be. You'll also become familiar with the basic structure involving special considerations and populations that may make up part of your client or patient base.
Chapter 13—Movement Pattern Corrections
Chapter 13 builds on your knowledge of basic mobility and stability corrections and movement pattern retraining. Using passive, active and assistive techniques, you'll be able to help your clients, athletes and patients recover lost mobility. Understanding stability and motor control, transitional postures and using facilitation techniques such as reactive neuromuscular training will give you the tools to challenge that new mobility. You'll also become proficient at rolling after practicing the material in this rich chapter.
Chapter 14—Advanced Corrective Strategies
Finally, in the 24 remarkable pages of Chapter 14, you'll learn how to make corrective exercise an experience. This is how corrective exercise actually works in the human body, and the thorough discussion found in this chapter will teach you how to create this for your clientele. Using PNF, RNT, reverse patterning, conscious loading, resisted and self-limiting exercises, you'll grasp the concept of the manageable mistake zone, and you'll be able to use these ideas and techniques to stand out in your crowded professional field.
Chapter 15—In Conclusion
This wrap-up section pulls the material together for one last review of where the industry is now, and where it's heading. When you finish this section, you'll have a complete understanding of the 10 principles of the Functional Movement System. These principles will guide you in learning and training authentic movement.

It happens. AFAIK *we* don't have to send the ninja assassins to your house though...
This is exactly the kind of crap that makes its way into licenses that claim to be open source and makes them not open source.
If I want to use the software to make nuclear bombs to drop on Australia, then a prohibition on making nuclear bombs to drop on Australia would be outside the scope of an open source license. (Of course it would still be illegal, but you don't get to tell me not to do it with a copyright license then claim that license is free and open)
Yep, that one is pretty black and white. I think the lawyers would agree with you there.
Export restrictions vs open source licenses are a lot less clear, at least to me.
its just Double Standard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard
for an Iranian its not Open-source but for an US Citizen its open-source.
the US-Double Standard makes clear only US Citizen are "Humans" Iranians are "Animals"
and the US-Double Standard make sure the US people can wipe out innocent "Animals" in a mass-murdering act without any doubt and shame.
Prove: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_...a_and_Nagasaki
the US export restrictions on Open-source are just "Double Standard"
its like killing people in a war its fine and ok and brings profit for the US war industry only killing US Citizens are not OK.

Midwest Living Review
If you're visiting Green Bay, chances are good that the Packers had something to do with getting you there, and if that's the case, you'll find Green Bay Distillery a convenient place to grab a meal and brew. You can walk from here to Ray Nitschke Field, where the team practices, and to Lambeau Field, the storied home of the Packers franchise. But even if you know nothing about football, the menu and cavernous dance hall atmosphere satisfies. For an appetizer, try the soft pretzels made with Wisconsin-brewed beer and served with ale-tinged cheese sauce ($4.99) or the Wisconsin white buffalo cheese curds, the famous battered fried cheese dipped in Buffalo-style hot sauce and topped with crumbled blue cheese ($7.99). The thick and flavorful brat and cheese soup costs just $2.99 for a generous cup, and the cheese curd burger tops ground sirloin with a salty, sinful and totally delicious cheese curd patty ($7.49). Other menu options include a Packers-inspired Green and Gold pizza, topped with sliced yellow and green sweet peppers ($11.49), plus an array of specialty salads, wraps and sandwiches.
Green Bay Distillery loves to party, and daily drink specials fuel the crowd (from what we can tell, despite the name, it does not craft its own vodka). It was tough to get a handle on what the vibe is like when the place is busy; when we stopped in for dinner at 8:30 on a Sunday, our group was the only one in the huge place. But still, service was prompt and friendly, and all of the bad-for-us food tasted oh-so-good. We'd definitely go back next time we're in town.

yay for old school vampires!
At first look I thought it was a pregnant dinosaur.
Nice graphics.
Also: nightmare season!
This has the look of an old timey movie poster, which is perfect 'cause I'm thinking of the silent German film version of Nosferatu from 1922. This captures that feeling quite well. Now that's old school vampire for ya.
Here's my take on the shirt.
I really enjoyed this one. Not much to explain other than it's a neat vampire shirt but it's still cool.
Now THAT'S a Halloween shirt!
I would totally buy this shirt if I did not already have a bazillion t-shirts. This design is fabulous.
at first i thought it was a cornucopia... nope.
ViperEagle wrote:At first look I thought it was a pregnant dinosaur.
Me too- what I first saw was a friendly looking brontosaurus with a quill and inkwell poking out of its back. It took a while to find the vampire.
Argh! Now I can't unsee!
I can't unsee the brontosaurus giving the middle finger.
tedwow wrote:I would totally buy this shirt if I did not already have a bazillion t-shirts. This design is fabulous.
My girlfriend got a Bazillion this summer and I love it !
Great shirt today !
Sigh, darn you, shirt woot! I have a rule, a rule that keeps me from buying five hundred shirts: "if it has foxes or vampires, it's an automatic buy"...."and sometimes cats"...."and teacher references...or books...books are great, too"
How did he get so tall?
Glad it starts up at the neck otherwise it'd look like your stomach.
'First Sucker' is especially appropriate in this case!

So when it says "The Vampyr," what it really means is "The thematic ripoff of the Harry Potter 7 cover," right?
jmbunkin wrote:Meaning ?
Seriously? That is a vampire, correct?
This is what a vampire should look like. The overbearing terror, the slight bit of camp, it's fantastic.
I could have said "fangtastic", but I DIDN'T.
Which means it is now TWO KINDS of awesome.
Don't wear this shirt: to the premiere of Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 2.
Seriously, just don't do it.
aeneasvt wrote:So when it says "The Vampyr," what it really means is "The thematic ripoff of the Harry Potter 7 cover," right
Dude. *Dude*. This is obviously a homage to the first vampire in the movies, Count Orlok in Murnau's "Nosferatu", and his iconic shadow-profile.
...I bought one. I hope it arrives before Halloween ¬_¬
haha I love the pun =)
I thought the same - looked like either a dinosaur or a koi.
Classic vampire + Despicable Me = NosferaGru
Yay! The Halloween shirts are back!

OK,OK it went right over my head and yes I feel like a fool!I may have to stay off woot for a few weeks until Wooters forget my folly.
And I thought it was a giant goldfish.
This may be the perfect shirt -- it's good for Halloween, Thanksgiving, fish fans, dinosaur fans, pregnant finger-flipping dinosaur fans...what else do we see?
I admit, I too didn't see the image at first glance, but when I did I was impressed. Nicely done classic vampire action.
aeneasvt wrote:So when it says "The Vampyr," what it really means is "The thematic ripoff of the Harry Potter 7 cover," right?
I personally don't think this shirt rips off HP in any way, shape, or form. But if it did, you could look at it in better lighting and have it be a bit of a tribute to HP then since HP is amazing. You know, instead of jumping to conclusions and assuming it's a rip-off instead of something nice. lol
"It was already dark when the townspeople gathered at the town hall to discuss the vampire. He'd been wreaking havoc on their small community for quite some time, and it was only getting worse. In just the past month alone, he'd bitten nearly 18 people and tried to bite upwards of 60 more. He had to be stopped, but how? That's what the mayor wanted to talk about."
Love the shirt but I really thought the townspeople were going to call in the Dog Whisperer given the write-up's emphasis on how many people "the Vampyr" had bitten. Vampyr- stupid name for a dog anyway.
'So when it says "The Vampyr," what it really means is "The thematic ripoff of the Harry Potter 7 cover," right?'
Lots of different covers for that book. Can't be the one with the creepy hand reaching out of a cape cause creepy hands coming out of over-sized capes have been around for a very, very long time and certainly predate HP. I would say it is more a homage to the classic 1922 movie Nosferatu with its iconic image of the shadow with those creepy hands going up the staircase. There are probably earlier examples too. So it is both HP book designer and this T-shirt designer that borrow from Nosferatu. Be inspired by the best is what I always suggest.
But great design for Halloween. Love how the hands don't jump right out at you immediately. At first glance I thought the fingers were one of the bats but then a second later my eye recognized the vampyre. Dracula does not own Halloween. There is always room for the German classics too!
Meh, this shirt just sucks the life out of me.
I want to get one just to frame it. True art. Too good for a T-Shirt.
