AMERICA/BRAZIL-"Young missionaries from Brazil around the world, in the light of the II Vatican Council"
Brasilia (Agenzia Fides) - With the theme "Young missionaries from Brazil around the world in the light of the II Vatican Council" and the motto "As the Father has sent me, so I send you (Jn 20, 21)" the fourth National Assembly of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith and Youth Missions (JM) started Yesterday, on December 15. The event takes place at the headquarters of the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) in Brasilia, and brings together representatives of all states in the country.
In the note sent to Agenzia Fides from PMs in Brazil, we inform you that the Assembly's participants are the state coordinators of the Youth Mission (an organization that is part of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith) of the 25 states of the federation and the Federal District . The three main objectives are: evaluation of the journey carried out in 2011, to exchange experiences between representatives of the states, schedule activities for 2012.
"The main expectation is to see growth in the Youth Mission. This is why we want to look at 2011 again, discuss the strong points that can help us and, of course, in case of difficulty to improve what is needed. I believe that the assessment of a year's work is without doubt the highlight of the Fourth Assembly", said the National Secretary of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and also responsible for the Youth Missionary, Father Marcelo Gualberto. The theme and slogan of the Assembly are inspired by the third National Missionary Congress: "We chose to look at the National Missionary Congress in Palmas and remember that this also refers to the first 50 years of the II Vatican Council".
The National Assembly will be attended by the national Secretaries and the National Director of Pontifical Mission Societies, who will talk about the Missionary Campaign "Mission in ecology", of some of the PMS projects and of the organization of the Third National Missionary Congress. The Archbishop of Brasilia, MGr. Sergio da Rocha will also be present, who held on Saturday, December 17 a conference on the theme: "Young missionaries from Brazil around the world, in the light of the II Vatican". The meeting will end on Sunday, December 18. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 16/12/2011)

I don't think people are expressing how hard a counter to kass galio is. Galio really counters him at every phase of the game.
Also make sure your team knows when kass is mia. He really excess at quick ganks.
AD against him, or Galio. Or if you insist on playing an AP carry use Veigar or LB, just nuke him... Every time as LB W-DFG-E-Q-R-W or as Veigar DFG-W-E-R-Q.
Use smart cast or don't bother laning against him at all as he will just get away!
Other AP casters work well on him too, like Cassi as her Q and E mash does some damage, and Ahri can shut him down fast E-Q-W-R and use auto attacks or more Q and E in between your ulti...
If you're having trouble getting a negatron cloak early on really hurts his potential to feed on you.

New to AV
I'm new to houseplants in general... I'm up to 3 now, with this guy as my latest addition. I saw him in Lowe's and he looked unhappy. I picked off all the wilting flowers, then put some warm water with the fertilizer stuff in a dish and let him soak it up. So, questions. Should the bottom row of stems be so droopy? Also, when I pick off the flowers, do I want to get the stem they are on too? I have him next to a big window, so I think he gets enough light. Any other tips on getting vibrant and frequent blooms would be appreciated... I'm new to this whole plant thing, but I love it so far. Also, I kind of want to know what type of AV it is, if anyone can identify it. Thanks!
Everyone has their own preferences or suggestions, but I'd say get some African Violet food. I use Schultz and it works great for me. I put fourteen drops in a two liter bottle and use that to water my AVs when they need it. I have a couple with a wicking system, which also works well for me. Your AV looks like an unnamed store violet, but it will grow stronger with proper care. Provided the roots are good on it, it should survive the abuse from Lowes. SOme of my prettiest and hardiest are unnamed varieties from the big box stores, but I'm not particular. I have a really pretty standard (which is the size you seem to have) with some single and some like triple frilly blooms on each stalk. It's a really pretty purple. I also have a nice pink and purple fantasy unnamed. It blooms like crazy! Welcome to the forum!
jeh4z -
Welcome to the forum, hope it is your first AV out of many more.
Your plant came to your home very much abused. I would wait on fertilizer a bit or keep it on a very low concentration.
It was grown in a wrong soil, it was tossed and turned in a box with a bunch of neighbors, it was sitting in a dark for a week, it was not watered right - and you are asking why the leaves are droopy? You have a very tough specimen - Minibot is absolutely correct.
If you want it to be really gorgeous and a foot in diameter with tons of flowers - check at the very informative site of Rachel's Reflections - and go for it.
Good Luck and Happy Growing
Here is a link that might be useful: Rachel's Reflections
Wow that's gorgeous. I hope to have something like that eventually. Are these quick growing plants? And what I meant by fertilizer was that I had the AV food... it's miracle gro brand. You said it might be in the wrong soil... how do I know, and what are some signs of good health that I can look for? I'll go read into this Rachel's Reflections website.
Also, sub question... how expensive of a hobby is this? I got into it just seeing how cheap the plants were and how nice some of them looked. But now that I have them, I want to give them the best, but I can't be spending money left and right.
Your little plant is so pretty!
Most AVs you buy from local stores are planted in soil that is very heavy. That means it hold water too long, which tends to rot the plant.
We usually add perlite or vermiculite to what mix the plant comes in. Many growers prefer to make their own soil less mix using 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 perlite. This make the soil very light so water will flow through get wet, but be able to drain away very quickly so the water won't have time to rot the roots.
Baby leaves are rounded and don't look like the other leaves on the plant. These should be pinched off. The leaf hanging is probably a baby leaf.
When the flowers dry, cut or pinch off the whole stem.
Your little plant is probably a "standard" and may get to 12 inches across with TLC.
Do go to Rachel's Reflections. This forum is excellent for novice growers.
Good luck!
No - this hobby is not expensive - and very enjoyable.
Plants can sometimes give you a first bloom in 4 months if you start them from a leaf and treat them right. There are just so many varieties that never make it to Lowe's.
It would be a good idea to investigate where is your local AV club is and try to go to their Show, may be you decide to join them - this is the best way to learn the skills - from somebody showing and sharing.
Good Luck
Look at the gallery of Avs on the AVSA site - and then return to the Local Clubs - check - what's where.

Movie Wonder Woman Will Be 'Empowering,' Says Producer
"Man of Steel" producer Wesley Coller says he has "a special place in [his] heart for the idea of a strong, empowered female superhero being out there."
Man of Steel producer Wesley Coller wants to reassure all the Wonder Woman fans concerned that she'll be reduced to a background character in 2015's follow-up to this summer's DC Comics superhero blockbuster -- because he doesn't want to disappoint his daughter.
"[Her] favorite book is this little Wonder Woman flip book," Coller said during an appearance at Eastern Michigan University last week. "It has the lasso, the invisible plane, the bracelets – every page has an image she's just in awe with. And something that's become a reality, being a dad with a new daughter, is that I have a special place in my heart for the idea of a strong, empowered female superhero being out there."
STORY: Warner Bros. Finds Its Wonder Woman for 'Batman vs. Superman'
He continued, "We're super excited to have her in the film, it will be a ton of fun," but he's not willing to look beyond her 2015 movie debut for now. "We've got to stay focused on the film we're working on now," he said when asked about the prospect of a Wonder Woman solo movie.
Coller also talked about the casting of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne in the movie. "Anything you do that's culturally significant, or any time you deal with an iconic character or story, you're going to hear responses from every possible perspective. So nothing surprises me anymore," he said about the Internet outrage in response to the announcement. "If anything, that gauges the relevance of a property or character, and it's invigorating to know people care that much. It inspires you to make the coolest version of the movie that you can."

Grout colorant
has anyone used these?? I went to lowes the other day to get grout. Not much of a choice in sanded grout which i like to use. And today we went to home depot. They have more colors but not all the ones i would love to try. Giggle. Bf rolled his eyes and said yeah honey. LOL.. So i saw these on ebay
I've never used these either! I've only used the quickcrete liquid stuff. And just the black in that to darken my gray grout!
Where do you get yours from NT?
Personally I use Rit dyes to color my grout, but that Ebay seller also has an Etsy store. They live only about 30 minutes from me so I had contacted them for a pickup instead of shipping.
Here is a link that might be useful: Beachcrafter's Etsy Store
Linlee- after I posted I realized you were talking about the grout. Her grout color is always so bright..your right I wonder how she does it.
Those colorants are pretty vibrant arent they on the links you guys gave. Do you think they stay that bright when mixed with white?
I have not tried the colorants either. I have some too.
HRSG, Rit dye. Hummmmmmmmmm do you mix it in water and then into the grout or mix the dry into the grout then add the water? When I use the paints for color the grout dries much lighter. How is it with the Rit dyes?
The Rit dye works best when you add the dry dye ti warm water, and let it dissolve. Use as much as you like to get the darker outcome.
I've found if you use the dry dye you get speckles in your grout sometimes. Which can be good in some instances depending on your taste.
Mixing the dyes gives you a wide range of colors to choose from.
I have used the colorants from Beachcrafters and am still experimenting and learning....a little goes a loooong way,
it always dries darker. It says to mix with water first, but I just sprinkle the dry powder while mixing up the white. Works for me! Good Luck!
also at http://www.sculpt.com/ under pigments.
Slow learned of it from Laurel True I think and everyone swears it's nonfading
I have used Tints All & it didn't fade outside for me. I love this stuff. And it comes in many colors & you can make it as deep of the color or light of the color you want.
I buy mine at Home Depot in the paints department - it's for coloring your paint & comes in little tubes. There is a chart to show you all the different colors & color tones with each color. I think if I remember correctly they are $3 - $4 a tube & they last forever.
It does dry lighter than what you see when mixing.
Linlee - I think it's what you are looking for. Look at this site with the tints all tubes. They have the circle with the color on it. But if you went to Home Depot it would show you a light, medium, & dark of each color. And I'm sure you could also make your own color combinations.
Look at some of the colors - tangerine. Only purple though is the lilac. I bet she mixed & made her own colors.
My pieces were exposed to all the elements with lots of direct sun but during winter months I just put on my covered porch.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tints All
Thanks for the tints all link...they have glow in the dark pigment powder. Wow how cool is that!!!!
Im gonna try some of that tints all for my chair when its done I think..now I have to figure out what color I want to use.
OMG..... That's another reason why I love this forum!! I have 7 tubes of tints all in my craft room right now! I never thought to use it for grout!! I bought it at Home Depot in the paint section. ( think I got some in a paint store too! ) I use it for mixing wall paint ( for my faux paint crafts) Holy crud... hitting my head!
hrsg: I used the rit dye for a birdbath.. It was pretty exposed to the elements!)
I used universal colorant--what they use in paint stores to tint paint. It's the same as "tints all" but I got it free by bringing in little bottles. Some paint guys will give you free tint, some won't.
It gave great, intense color, (teal) but has faded some in the year since I did it. I live in Hawaii, and it's outside in the rain and tropical sun, so this has been an extreme test. I actually like the lighter color better, the mosaic pieces were kind of overwhelmed by the bright grout.
And for indoor mosaics, you can color finished grout with watered-down acrylic craft paint. This also lets you use different colors for different areas, and completely changes the look of a piece.

A Destiny's Child Biopic….
'Exclusive: Sony Emails Reveal Destiny's Child and Kanye West Movies, and Spidey Cameo in Capt. 3′
There's also some film-related news involving some big names in music. An email dated December 4, 2013, from Screen Gems honcho Clint Culpepper to Pascal and a team of Sony execs discusses how Beyoncé's father, Matthew Knowles, went to him to try and set up a Destiny's Child biopic.
"Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's Father wants to make the film of Destiny's Child and came to me first," wrote Culpepper. "He's going to Universal next. Do we think it would be a successful film? They're on Sony label. I'm just not sure that it's not too soon."
All the Sony execs return very enthusiastic responses, although there is a Destiny's Child biopic currently slated for February 2015 on the Lifetime Network.
NOW…due to the Aaliyah biopic being so bad, would you be here for this? I'm not sure how true this is, being that we had heard months in advance before the Whitney and Aaliyah biopics, and there were press releases when the movies went into production, and casting, but I guess only time will tell if this story holds any merit.

Yes, we know, that headline is silly. Because the truth is? No one wants bedbugs and if you say you do you are a dirty liar. Just the mention of the critters sends shivers skittering over many people's spines because well, bed bugs are awful, itchy, expensive to get rid of and a flat-out nightmare. And there are some cities who have it worse than others [More]
If You Don't Want Bed Bugs You Might Want To Reconsider Living In These Cities
You Don't Have To Face Fitness Resolutions Alone: 5 Apps That Help You Work It Out
If the thought of heading to the gym where it might reek of body odor like the cellars at the coliseum in the heyday of gladiators, where you inevitably end up in a standoff with a huffy, tiny woman in yoga pants who thinks you've spent enough time on the treadmill makes you shudder, maybe you'd prefer to fulfill your New Year's fitness resolution at home. But that ain't easy, either, which is why a slew of apps on the market are offering to help. [More]
Coca-Cola Taking Its Head Out Of The Sand, Addressing Obesity For The First Time In Ads
We thought we might never see the day when Coca-Cola finally decided to join the obesity conversation, but as health advocates rail against high-calorie drinks, the company is stepping into the fray with an ad campaign addressing obesity. The first TV spot will air for two minutes today on a smattering of networks, and will highlight Coca-Cola's drinks with fewer calories. [More]
Study Links Consumption Of Diet Drinks To Depression
It's been a long day. You need a pick-me-up, but calories? Those are for chumps. So you grab a diet soda and guzzle your way to a little caffeine jolt. Or if it's caffeine-free, a faux sweet treat. But according to a new study, even if you're winning the war on extra calories, you could be running the risk of depression. Usually I'm just sad when I get to the bottom of the can, but this sounds a lot more serious. [More]
Dr. Oz Is Still Handing Out Questionable Medical Advice That Critics Say "Borders On Quackery"
Back in 2010 we looked at Dr. Mehmet Oz, he of Oprah Winfrey-endorsed gilded TV fame and the king of a fan base that will run out and buy anything he endorses. Even then he had a solid gallery of critics who were ready to call shenanigans on his various medical pronouncements, and even while his popularity has remained widespread, there are still plenty of of people who question his brand of health advice.

Flavoring Company Agrees To Reduce Use Of Ingredient Blamed For "Popcorn Lung"
The backlash against popcorn flavoring diacetyl continues, as one Indianapolis company has agreed to reduce its use of the chemical in popcorn flavoring in order to pay a smaller fine in a settlement with state regulators. As part of the agreement, the company also wrapped up its claims that the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration had been harassing it over the potential health risks at the plant.

The world's largest biotechnology company pleaded guilty in federal court today for improper marketing practices involving its anemia drug Aranesp, and says it will pay $762 million in a combination of civil settlements and criminal fines. It won't lose out on any federal business or contracts, however, which would've been a veritable death knell for the company. [More]
Study Suggests That A Bracing Regimen Of Beer Could Ward Off The Winter Sniffles
If you want to keep winter colds at bay and also enjoy a nice, hoppy beer, well, you're a lucky person. A new study by scientists at Sapporo Medical University (and sponsored by the Sapporo brewery, natch) says a key ingredient in beer can ward off colds in adults. Beyond that, if it weren't for that whole "underage" thing, the stuff is reportedly effective in blocking a virus that causes pneumonia and bronchitis in young children. [More]
Guilt Makes For A Delicious Addition To Forbidden Foods When You're On A Diet
When all you want, all you need is just a bite of smooth, creamy, calorie-laden chocolate ice cream and you're not supposed to have it for whatever reason (dieting, it doesn't belong to you), giving in to that impulse feel so guilty. And it's so tasty, partly because it is forbidden, says a new study. Guilt makes for quite a heady addition to your favorite foods. Hence, guilty pleasures. [More]
FDA Replies To Lawsuit Over Food Regulation Deadlines: Slow Your Roll, We're Working On It
Back in January 2011, the government signed a law that said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration would have to undertake an overhaul in food safety regulations, the first of its kind in about 70 years. Well, time's been a-ticking and now a new lawsuit leveled at the agency claims the FDA has missed a bunch of deadlines required by the Food Safety Modernization Act. But the FDA says that's not the case, it's just that it's a big job that it'll take time. [More]
Man Blinded By Drinking Vodka Regains His Sight After Doctors Administer A Dose Of Whiskey
We've all heard of the phrase "blacked out" in relation to drinking alcohol. While that frat bro talking too loudly about his weekend in the coffee shop might be throwing out the phrase to indicate an unhealthy amount of booze consumed, in the case of one man who had a little bit of vodka, the liquor actually made him lose his eyesight. At first, doctors were stumped. Then they came to the rescue with a very odd prescription. More booze! [More]

How Many Calories Will We Really Eat On Thanksgiving Day?
The diet always starts the day after Thanksgiving, right? Because we know that every year, we're going to stuff a large amount of fowl, potatoes, pies, dressing, rollscakesgreenbeancasserolewhippedcream etc. into our stomachs until it feels like the universe will explode into a huge, gravy-covered mess. Part of our collective overeating shame could be tied to the oft-cited statistic that the average person will eat more than 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving Day. But is that really how much we'll ingest? [More]

Kids Will Gorge Themselves On Anywhere From 3,500 To 7,000 Calories This Halloween
When you're a kid at Halloween it's like, "Calories? What's a calorie? Sounds boring. I'm going to put more Reese's in my mouth now." Even if kids aren't aware of what they're ingesting, the reality is there's a lot going into their young systems: The average child will eat 3,500 to 7,000 calories worth of treats on Halloween night. That explains the sugar-fueled laps I used to run around our house after trick-or-treating. [More]

November 2014 Research Spotlight:
Dr. Diane Bimczok, DVM, PhDDr. Diane Bimczok is Assistant Professor in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, where she works with Dr. Phillip Smith and Dr. Lesley Smythies. Dr. Bimczok has a D.V.M. and a Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Germany. She first joined UAB in 2007 for postdoctoral training in human mucosal immunology with Dr. Smith. Her current work is funded through an NIH K01 career development award and through the American Gastroenterological Association.
Dr. Bimczok's research focus is the regulation of dendritic cell (DC) function in the gastrointestinal immune system. DCs are professional antigen-sensing and -presenting cells that control tolerance and immunity. They initiate and fine-tune the responses of T cells and other adaptive and innate immune cells. The function of a particular DC is partly determined by the tissue microenvironment the cell is exposed to, as Dr. Smith's group has shown in previous studies.
June 2014 Research Spotlight: Dr. Mark T. Dransfield
May 2014 Research Spotlight: Sumanth Prabhu, MD
April 2014 Research Spotlight: Ruizhong Shen
Dr. Shen's research interests focus on two areas: the regulation of HIV-1 replication in mucosal cells and the immunobiology of HIV-1 transmission in genital and gut mucosae. His recent studies have elucidated the role of vaginal and intestinal macrophages and dendritic cells in HIV-1 infection, antibody inhibition of HIV-1 transcytosis across rectal mucosa, the role of intestinal microenvironment on HIV-1 infection, the role of envelope glycan moieties on the major events of HIV-1 mucosal transmission, and the effect of breast milk on mother-to-child transmission. He has been publishing in Journal of Virology, Journal of Immunology, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Mucosal Immunology, PLoS Pathogens and others. His work is currently supported by NIH, UAB CFAR and UAB Cancer Center.

A clean, well-lit place to vent
Please feel free to contribute to this frequently-updated forum, which posts selected commentary on our favorite comic strip. If you'd like your critique to be posted, please note that civility, if not approbation, counts. Click here to submit a comment.
Kim? That Kim? Forty years ago? Talk about foreshadowing. My 10th grade English teacher would have loved this.
Lil Kim! I too missed this the first time round, and on Monday wondered if we were being introduced to Kim or Honey. It's really good to see these old strips -- some familiar favourites, and others, such as this week, new to me.
Regarding the BLOWBACK comment about missing several years of Doonesbury, may I suggest getting 40: A Doonesbury Retrospective? While it doesn't have every strip from the 40 years it covers, it would have a lot of what was missed, with a focus on the relationships among the characters.
Having grown up during the golden age of newspaper comics, I was a seasoned comic aficionado when Doonesbury hit the newsstands, and it was an instant "fit" for me. Then I went through a period during which I had to shield myself from newspapers and TV, because their brand of propaganda is subtle and insidious, and I had to find truth through my own research, not through their rapidly polarizing jingoism. Our country had been through a coup, and the Vietnam War was the first public casualty of this new government-by-talking-heads. I would have to seek out facts, not depend on what I was told.
Unfortunately, that meant I missed several critical years of Doonesbury. The first I knew of Kim, she was Mike's new girlfriend, and Mike's first wife was going through some feminist rebellion to ventilate her anger. I never knew where Kim came from, who she was, or how she came to know and love Mike Doonesbury. Fast forward to present day. My own son chose his mate some 12 years ago, a beautiful and brilliant girl born to Vietnamese refugees in the US. She is now a scientist with a Ph.D., and is one of my most favorite people in the world. I have often thought she reminded me of Kim in Doonesbury. How delightful to find out that my instincts and Trudeau's portrayal of Kim were so spot-on. I am grateful for the re-runs that are now revealing to me some of what I missed.
Up to now, they were old and familiar strips. This one of baby Kim in the airplane is completely new to me, and it reveals a prescience in Trudeau's narratives that strikes close to home. Anyone enamored of the facts can tell things as they are, but choosing which things to tell, which things will have meaning and affect our lives in the future, requires the G word: it's simply genius. Seeing these old strips reminds me daily of how lucky we've been to have Trudeau chronicling the tender and harrowing events of metamorphosis in the post-coup USA.
Today's strip reminded me of Georgia Wise, the last WAC out of Vietnam, who was aboard the flight with Vietnamese refugee children which crashed on takeoff. She saved many kids. I do not think she is still on active duty, but she was stationed at Randolph AFB in Texas, and helped my WWII Air Transport Command veteran father get his discharge papers and WW II medals, back in the early 2000s. That kid looking out the window is luckier than she could ever know.
Sunday's strip hit close to home. We are keeping grandchildren while our daughter and son-in-law get a break. I am struck by how different these kids are from my own. Every meal is a major negotiation. Telling somebody "no" is the beginning of a process. I try to keep perspective. Every generation thinks the one after it is going to hell, and I guess my befuddlement over current childrearing tactics is just another example. I am distressed to see a third generation of self-absorbed women trying to raise children in the strip. At least Toggle is there to provide mothering.
So Abigail doesn't fit a war victim, but somehow Kim Rosenthal Doonesbury does. Kudos for the first appearance of Mike's second wife, who appears to be some 25+ years his junior.
Speaking as a twin, let me use an old saw that still cuts: "If you want your children to follow in your footsteps, you'd better stay ahead of them!"
Thanks for today's belly laugh. As a 40 year veteran of the strip i can usually see where things are going (which does not diminish my pleasure in reading one bit), but today caught me by surprise, perhaps because it truly accessed a source of ongoing anxiety for me: how much is too much, how much is not enough? Uggh... Thanks again!
To over-estimate an as-yet-strange-woman's age, to her face, in her bed, no less, can at best be described as a "youthful error".
Aaah. The good old days. Today, Joanie wouldn't even bother to worry about packing toothpaste. It would just get confiscated by the TSA.
Frankly, if a student can come to my class and spend the time surfing the web, but still pass -- more power to them. I put my focus on providing quality instruction and involving lectures, but you cannot force students to learn. Those that do not learn will not pass, and may in turn learn a valuable lesson that their progress depends on their own effort, not some nanny riding them. Word gets around -- I don't have (or make this) a problem. I do know that the University lawyers would have an issue with the paint-ball solution.
The professor who finds himself competing with electronic entertainment need only restructure his syllabus. Make responses to the lecturer's questions part of the grade. Give regular, short-answer-type quizzes. Assign short essays that address the lecture material -- this could happen near the end of lectures. Be willing to de-inflate grades and willing to give grades that forestall credit. Share the quiz and essay grading with that grad student who now holds the paintball rifle.
Always great to see Ellie. I sure wish she'd wander (no, stride) through a 2014 strip at some point!
Computers in the classroom are a curse! And it isn't just that some students are browsing the web or checking their email. Even those students who are most diligent are apt to be hurt by the use of computers: they try to get down everything the instructor says, and it goes from their ears to their fingers without passing through their brains. I have banned all electronic devices in my classroom (except phones for mothers and fathers with small children -- and even then the phones must be kept packed away unless there is an urgent call). I have done this for about four years, and the students by and large agree (1) that classes are more interesting; and (2) that they seem to learn more without the computers.
First day of Fall 2014 term, this is image #1 for "enhanced learning" in my courses.
Damn you, Trudeau, for drawing today's strip at the end of the academic year. We educators will have to wait until September to print this out and post it on our office/classroom walls.
I teach in classrooms with computers. At one point instructors could see what was on the student's screen. That changed with smart phones (and budget cuts for underutilized software). It truly amazes me that many students will come to class and spend the whole time browsing or chatting on the web. Perhaps I'm teaching to those who don't care about the cost or don't care about the grade or have some social dependency for perpetual communication and support. Whatever the case, time and money is being wasted. It had been my practice to call on students who were otherwise engaged with an irrelevant or non-existing topic. It went like this:
Instructor: "Well, Mr. Smith, which argument has the most merit?"
Student: "Uh, sorry I wasn't paying attention."
Instructor: "I know. That is why I called on you."
Most of the class would smile. Now many won't know I called on a student. Sigh...
Electronic Sniper: As a 44-year-old college student I have to ask, where can I sign up to be on the team for this? Back when someone else would have been paying for it, perhaps I would have been the same way. But today, I want my money's worth!
A Paintball Sniper for inappropriate electronic media use. Brilliant!
And available!

The Magic Apple will be
For the first time EVER, Lee Earle will be lecturing at The Magic Apple
April 12th 5pm
$25 Per Person
$35 for VIP seats - Only 6 available. Includes front row reserved seating, deck of cards and bottle of water.
Contemporary Mentalism
Lee Earle has spread his love for Mentalism by presenting hundreds of lectures in just about every English speaking country in the world, and in quite a few others - with the help of translators.
Earle's lectures go well beyond 'teaching tricks' and focus on modeling an example from which other performers can learn the real work:
•Performance technique
•Platform skills
•Psychology of presentation
•Supporting a performance premise
•Delivery of humor
•Directed attention (misdirection)
•Professional attitude
•Audience handling
•Selecting the best material for every performance style
•...and more!
His unique teaching style divides the lecture into multiple individual segments - each of which includes performance, explanation (while the material is fresh in the audience's minds), discussion, and advocacy - putting the emphasis on simplicity, practical methods, and personality-driven presentations.
A few years ago, Conan O'Brien and the Tonight Show came a filmed at the shop!

Norton Commander was great until it hit ver. 5, when it became bloatware. It felt sluggish and ate a ton of memory, which was still pretty important then (especially for those that still sported 640K-1M of RAM)... Volkov Commander became a great substitute, since it was written in assembly and the executable was quite a bit less than 100K in size (comparing to ~300K or so of NC executable).. It was so common in some places (like Russia) that people thought there was something wrong with a PC if NC or VC wasn't installed.
*sigh*... The screen covered up by two big blue panels is forever etched onto my retinas...
This software, if it actually works as described, could also be used to easily fabricate video "evidence". An average viewer would not be able to tell the difference.
Kinda scary...

Potential Supreme Court Decision: Who Will Bear the Coverage "Burdens?"
The Supreme Court is expected to reach a decision by the end of June, 2014 on the cases brought forth by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties, two for profit corporations challenging the ACA's contraceptive coverage requirement. The plaintiffs contend that the requirement that they include coverage for certain contraceptive services (emergency contraceptive pills and intrauterine devices) in the insurance plans "substantially burdens" both the corporation's and the owners' religious rights. During the arguments, several of the justices discussed the extent to which the corporations did or not did not have a choice in offering coverage to their workers. In this brief, we explore some of the factors influencing coverage decisions and possible consequences for women and employers given possible Supreme Court decision options: either upholding the contraceptive coverage requirement, or in favor of Hobby Lobby.Issue Brief Read More
