BATH, Maine (AP) — The U.S. Navy on Saturday christened the first ship of its newest class of destroyers, a more than $3 billion, 610-foot-long warship sporting advanced technology and a stealthy shape designed to minimize its visibility on enemy radar and reduce the size of its crew.
Named after the late Adm. Elmo "Bud" Zumwalt, the newest destroyer's massive size and angular profile make it stand apart from other U.S. warships. And like its namesake, a reformer who spearheaded changes that helped shape the Navy by offering new opportunities to women and minorities, the Zumwalt will shepherd the fleet into a new era, officials said.
"This ship is a modern marvel, and it's going to take smart and creative and hardworking sailors like Bud Zumwalt to operate it," Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus told the crowd of thousands at Bath Iron Works, where the ship has been under construction since 2009.
Mouzetta Zumwalt-Weathers and Ann Zumwalt, the former admiral's daughters, each christened the ship by smashing a bottle of Champagne near its bow, followed by cheers and bursts of red, white and blue streamers. They were joined at the ceremony by Zumwalt's son, retired Marine Lt. Col. Jim Zumwalt, who recalled 55 years ago, as a young boy, attending the christening of the USS Dewey, which his father commanded.
Bud Zumwalt, who became the youngest chief of naval operations in 1970, promoted the first female and African-American officers to admirals and opened the door for women to become naval aviators and serve on warships.
"He strove for a Navy that was supportive, encouraging and compassionate toward all sailors, especially minorities and women," his daughter Ann said. "A Navy that not only fought wars but also fought discrimination in its ranks. He dreamt of a Navy that allowed its sailors a better quality of life."

Microsoft Windows 8 does not support plug-ins in the Start screen and therefore Java will not run in the Start screen. You will have to switch to the Desktop screen to run Java.

Australian author Kate Morton has made a study of Gothic fiction, and her book, The Distant Hours, is a "Gothic Delight." Her writing, a mixture of Gothic, romance and mystery genres, plus her addition of original fairy tales, has sold millions of novels all over the world.
"The ancient walls sing the distant hours..." at Milderhurst Castle in Kent, home of the literary Blythe family. Only the decaying castle--and the careful reader--know all the secrets hidden within its walls and moat. Kate Morton carefully paces her novel--you don't want to miss a page or you will miss out on the clues to piece together the secrets.
In a reverse chronological sequence of events, Julia Alvarez takes her readers through the immigration experience of the four Garcia sisters: Carla, Sandra, Yolanda and Sofia in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. Leaving behind a life of privilege surrounded by their large extended family, the four girls move with their Papi and Mami to New York City, and begin the long, never-ending process of assimilating into American culture. The story is as much a coming of age tale as it is a feminist, Latino perspective on American culture, beautifully conveyed with a sprinkling of Spanish vocabulary here and there.
In 2008, Nya, a young woman who lives in Sudan, walks two hours one way to get water for her family. She does this twice a day. She does not have shoes. In her book A Long Walk to Water, Newbery medalist Linda Sue Park, introduces us to Nya. She also introduces us to Salva, a young man living in Sudan in 1985.
Their stories are told in alternating tales. Salva is a young student in Sudan in 1985. His country has been going through a civil war for decades. One day while Salva is at school, a group of rebels attack his village. The teacher tells all the students to run away to escape the attack by the rebels. Salva does as instructed but soon finds himself alone and far from his home. He certainly does not feel safe. He is lost and disoriented. He meets up with a group of refugees who are leaving Sudan and heading to Kenya. Salva joins the group though they are reluctant to accept him because he is a child and may become a burden. Salva walks with them, hoping to find safety in Kenya and hoping to be reunited with his family.

It is 1941, and the German Army occupies The Netherlands. A young Dutch boy named Piet has been given the task of escorting two neighborhood children to safety in Brussels. The Greatest Skating Race: A World War II Story from the Netherlands, by Louise Borden, is the exciting story of Piet Janssen. He live in the town of Sluis in the Netherlands. His town is on the border between The Netherlands and Brussels. During the winters there, it is so cold that the canals freeze and the ice is thick enough to skate on. In fact, skating is a form of transportation for many people in the Netherlands.
Piet loves to skate. He also idolizes a skater named Pim Mulier who once skated through eleven towns. Many Dutch have skated through towns, but the route that Pim took has its own name, the Elfstedentocht (the Eleven Towns Race). Piet has been training to duplicate this race and finish just like his idol Pim Mulier. But in December of 1941, many of the Dutch were concerned with much more than a race along the canals. Their country was occupied by Germany. Because of the war, many fathers were gone. They had joined the Allied forces in England.
Lurking in the shadows of the Dark Ages is the howling form of Grendel. He is the monster of midnight, the bone-gnasher, the ardent hunter of warriors who strews their bones and howls his fury to the world as he wreaks havoc on the safety of civilization. No hall fire burning brightly, no line of armed men can keep him back when he desires destruction. But as John Gardner tells of Grendel, this was not always so. For the bane of the Hrothgar's hall has a soul much tormented by his desire for good and fellowship with the humans even as his demonic appearance frightens them into violent action. To them, he is a thing, and so he becomes what they believe him to be--an adversary whose fame has spanned the centuries.
Occasionally you're lucky enough to find a book you just can't put down. Its gripping plot grabs hold of you and, chapter by chapter, propels you along. Equally compelling is that rare title where the action isn't paramount, but the key players are so real you find yourself reading into the wee hours. The Good Daughters, by Joyce Maynard, falls into the second category with its unforgettable characters.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, here is Cupid, by Julius Lester. In this retelling from Greek mythology, we are introduced to Psyche. She is the daughter of a king and so beautiful that every time she walks outside people stopped and stared. They even stopped working. In fact, it was getting so bad that it was affecting the infrastructure of her community--and not in a good way. Her father, the king, felt it was in the best interest of his kingdom and his subjects to restrict Psyche from her daily walks. He decreed that she could only walk outside the castle gates once a month.
Word quickly reached Mount Olympus about the young beauty and the effect she was having on the other humans. Venus, the goddess of love, was not pleased at all when she learned of this young woman, She viewed her as a threat and decided to dispatch her son, Cupid, to do away with her. Never one to disappont his mother, Cupid quickly plans how he will get rid of this pesky human. However, when Cupid lays his eyes on Psyche, he is immediately stunned by her beauty, and he falls in love with her himself. He vows that she will become his wife, but he is reluctant to let his mother in on his little plan as she is a formidable force with which to be reckoned.

COSM / Gregory Benford
On an otherwise ordinary day not long from now, inside a massive installation of ultra-high-energy scientific equipment, something goes wrong with a brilliant young physicist's most ambitious experiment. But this is not a calamity. It will soon be seen as one of the most significant breakthroughs in history. For the explosion has left something behind: a wondrous sphere the size of a basketball, made of nothing known to science. Before long, it will be clear that this object has opened a vista on an entirely different universe - a newborn cosmos whose existence will rock this world and test one woman to the limit as she comes face-to-face with fame and terror. That woman is the physicist who has ignited this thrilling adventure. (catalog summary)
Earth / David Brin
Brin uses the escape of a manmade black hole that is eating away at the Earth's core and a plausible future of sophisticated, instant universal and global computer data linkage and retrieval to reexamine, explore, and expand upon the themes regarding genetic creation and advancement begun in Star tide Rising (1983) and The Uplift War (1987). There is an element of suspense and intrigue as the characters scramble to define, find, and solve the black hole damage before each other and before it's too late. Although less engaging than the previously mentioned books, this is timely in its investigation of current ecological issues…(Joan Lewis Reynolds, School Library Journal)
"I am so mad at you," the little rabbit says to his mother. Mad at Mommy by Komako Sakai is the story of a little rabbit who is very angry at his mother. The story continues with the little rabbit listing the reasons for his anger. For instance, Mommy says that she cannot marry little rabbit even when he gets bigger. Little rabbit goes on to inform his mother that when he gets bigger he "will do whatever he wants."
Komako Sakai is the author and illustrator of this tender story. The illustrations are gentle and quiet as they juxtapose a tranquility against the ire of the little rabbit. The muted tones beautifully capture the story while sparse text expresses the universal sentiment of children at one point or another during their childhood. Every parent will recognize themselves as a child and will chuckle at the familiar words used by the little rabbit. They may even recognize their own children. In particular, the page where the little rabbit expresses his anger and turns his nose up into the air captured the moment beautifully. I know that I have seen that expression myself. This story is great to read aloud or for the emerging reader to ponder over after a particularly difficult day.
In the end, the little rabbit announces that he is going away. You can almost hear the "huff" as he leaves. He walks out of the room only to quickly return and ask his mother if she missed him. In the end the little rabbit and the mother are reconciled and everyone is happy.

The official Twitter page for Madonna's current MDNA tour is reporting that Christina Aguilera will be appearing with the Material Girl on her October 10th and 11th tour dates in Los Angeles. The Twitter handle is claiming that Aguilera will be on hand for a special performance and that Britney Spears will also be at the two shows, though it's unclear whether she too will grab a mic and hit the stage.
The one and only time the three heavyweights of pop music sang together was during their historical performance at the 2003 MTV VMAs, where Madonna planted a kiss on both performers. Madonna has shown no signs of slowing down her publicity stunts in concert, having recently come under fire for using a swastika on her stage show. Could this mean another kiss in the works?

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Report urges concussion culture change for young athletes, says too little known about risks
WASHINGTON - Is peewee football too early to wonder about concussions? Maybe not: A major report says far too little is known about the risks in youth sports, especially for athletes who suit up before high school.
And it's not just a question for football. The Institute of Medicine found no one knows how often the youngest athletes suffer concussions or which sports have the highest rates. Nor is it clear if better headgear ever will help.
The IOM and National Research Council on Wednesday called for a national system to track sports-related concussions and start answering those questions.
Despite a decade of increasing awareness of the seriousness of concussions, the panel found young athletes still face a "culture of resistance" to reporting the injury and staying on the sidelines until it's healed.
"Concussion is an injury that needs to be taken seriously. If an athlete has a torn ACL on the field, you don't expect him to tape it up and play," said IOM committee chairman Dr. Robert Graham, who directs the Aligning Forces for Quality national program office at George Washington University.
"We're moving in the right direction," Graham added.
But the panel found evidence, including testimony from a player accused by teammates of wimping out, that athletic programs' attention to concussions varies.
Reports of sports concussions are on the rise, amid headlines about former professional players who suffered long-term impairment after repeated blows. Recent guidelines make clear that anyone suspected of having a concussion should be taken out of play immediately and not allowed back until cleared by a trained professional.
Although millions of U.S. children and teens play school or community sports, it's not clear how many suffer concussions, in part because many go undiagnosed.
But Wednesday's report said among people 19 and younger, 250,000 were treated in emergency rooms for concussions and other sports- or recreation-related brain injuries in 2009, up from 150,000 in 2001.
Rates vary by sport.
For male athletes in high school and college, concussion rates are highest for football, ice hockey, lacrosse and wrestling. For females, soccer, lacrosse and basketball head the list. Women's ice hockey has one of the highest reported concussion rates at the college level.
But there's no similar data to know how often younger children get concussions, whether on school teams or in community leagues, the IOM panel said.
"One thing that parents question is, 'Well, should I let my son or daughter play this sport they're asking me to play?'" said sports injury specialist Dawn Comstock of the University of Colorado, who reviewed the report. "If we don't have that type of data on the national level, it's very difficult" to know.
Could safety gear prevent kids' concussions?
Some equipment ads make that claim. But there's little scientific evidence that current sports helmet designs or other gear, such as face masks or headbands for soccer, really reduce the risk, the panel cautioned.
Still, it stressed that youngsters should wear helmets and other sport-appropriate safety gear, because they guard against other injuries, including skull fractures and face injuries.
"Parents deserve to know how safe their children's safety equipment really is," said Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., who is pushing legislation to curb false advertising and encourage improvements to sports equipment standards.
"While we can't reduce every risk, we should do everything we can to stop misleading advertising that gives parents a false sense of security."
The report found that every state except Mississippi has passed a concussion law since Washington started the trend in 2009, prompted by a 13-year-old who suffered permanent disability after returning to a football game despite a concussion.
The laws address such things as criteria for removal from play and standards for return-to-play decisions, but the report said most are in the early stages of being implemented.
It's not always easy to spot a concussion — symptoms might not be obvious right away — yet most young athletes practice and play without routine access to a professional trained to check them, the panel said. That can leave the decision to bench players up to coaches and parents.
That's especially true before high school and in community leagues, said Tamara Valovich McLeod with the National Athletic Trainers' Association, which long has pushed for concussion education.
Without training, people may not realize you can have a concussion without losing consciousness, or that you can still have symptoms despite a clean CT scan, she said.
Typically, youth athletes recover from a concussion within two weeks. But in 10 per cent to 20 per cent of cases, symptoms can persist for weeks, months, occasionally even longer, the report found. A second blow before full recovery is especially dangerous.
Nor is the concern only about physical activity.
The American Academy of Pediatrics this week said teachers may need to ease students back into learning after a concussion.
There's increasing evidence that too much mental activity can prolong recovery, too. Sensitivity to light, headaches or memory difficulties may require breaks or extra time on assignments when the student returns to class, the pediatricians' policy says.
The IOM report also said:
—Youths who've already had a concussion are at higher risk for subsequent ones.
—Calls for a "hit count" to limit the number of head impacts in a week or a season make sense, but there's no evidence to say what that number should be.
—Sports officials should examine if there are age-specific rules to make play safer, such as Canadian youth hockey's no-checking rule for the youngest players.
But the report shouldn't scare parents into pulling their kids out of sports, injury expert Comstock stressed.
"The positives of sports as a physical activity still far outweigh the negatives," she said. "We just need to make it as safe as possible."

1) define 'CyberSec Incidents' and2) would you like the total broken down into attacks by and attacks against and self attacked?
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget said in March that a total of 107,655 security incidents were reported in fiscal 2011 by federal, state and local governments, commercial enterprises, U.S. citizens and international cyber organizations.Federal agencies are required to report such incidents, but corporate reports are voluntary.
State Security Breach Notification LawsForty-six states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have enacted legislation requiring notification of security breaches involving personal information.
The scores of 'fusion centers' across the country threaten civil liberties while doing little to counter terrorism, a two-year study by a Senate subcommittee finds.Senate investigators concluded that Homeland Security liaisons to the centers "forwarded 'intelligence' of uneven quality oftentimes shoddy, rarely timely, sometimes endangering citizens' civil liberties and Privacy Act protections, occasionally taken from already-published public sources, and more often than not unrelated to terrorism."The investigators also found that some local analysts had written inappropriate and potentially illegal reports about constitutionally protected activities of American citizens. Homeland Security officials prevented most from being disseminated.
Last year, for example, the Illinois Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center in Springfield published a report asserting that a hacker in Russia had stolen an unknown number of user names and passwords to sensitive utility control systems and used that information to break into a local water district's computerized control system.In fact, the "hacker" was a utility employee who had accessed the system legitimately while on a family vacation, the report found.
I love it when I have to go all the way to the LA Times to get a reference to the source document! Why can't this information be found on the New York Times and Washington Post websites?
The Senate report said local and state officials entrusted with the fusion center grants sometimes spent lavishly. More than $2 million was spent on a center for Philadelphia that never opened. In Ohio, officials used the money to buy rugged laptop computers and then gave them to a local morgue. San Diego officials bought 55 flat-screen televisions to help them collect open-source intelligence better known as cable television news.

This week:
SaraRivadeneyra's House – Falling Chairs Game Room with HOST_Absolem and HOST_Cricket
BEFORE: (Click to Enlarge)
As we entered the room, Sara was putting together her first MyVMK room, it was a game room, and were we excited! Sara was brand new to MyVMK, just starting this past week, so what better way to meet people than a fun game of falling chairs!
In the room: Remember those first days of playing MyVMK? Yup, just like we all were in the beginning, Sara was on a very tight budget. Lucky for her, Esmeralda must have seen this as her lucky day!
DURING: The best part about Falling Chairs is all you need is a big open space, a couple of carpets, and a friendly atmosphere. Sara told us her favorite items can be found in Shrunken Ned's shop and her favorite color is blue. We knew immediately how to add a few things to help her achieve the space so her friendly hostess skills would have a place to shine!
We added some seating for those who lost the game to watch. We have to admit. While sitting in this cozy, warm area you can encourage, or do a bit of good natured ribbing of, the ones still playing! Next on the list was to help Sara with the entrance. She wanted a welcoming area, but one where the ones playing were separated from the ones waiting to play. Once again, Ned's sales brought a little tiki magic to the space.
AFTER: (Click to Enlarge)
Well, you can't have a game without players! So we sent a little announcement, and Sara's room was filled to overflowing! Come and enjoy SaraRivadeneyra's Falling Chairs Game and MyVMK's fourth and final Room Makeover! Congratulations Sara and thank you for letting us invade your space!

Esmeralda's Trivia!
Test Your Knowledge of Disney Trivia!
Introducing the prophet of wisdom, the knower of all things and Disney trivia expert – Esmeralda!
This Week's Question: Part of the New Fantasyland expansion in Walt Disney World, what is the name of the Beauty and the Beast inspired restaurant that has opened up?
Know the answer?
Send your answer to email@example.com. Be sure to provide your MyVMK username in the email with the answer. From the correct answers submitted, we randomly select three players as the winners and send them a Esmeralda Trivia Pin! You have until Thursday, April 2nd, to send your answers in.
Here's the answer to last week's question: In the movie Enchanted (2007), what is the Evil Queen's name?
Answer: Narissa.
Did you know: Enchanted took almost two years to complete. The animation took a little over a year to finish while the live-action scenes, which commenced and were completed
during the animation process, were shot in 72 days.
According to the movie director, Kevin Lima, there are "thousands" of references made to past and future works of Disney. He states that it became "an obsession" to inject Disney references into the plot. He even derived the name of every character as well as anything that needed a name from past Disney films to bring in more Disney references! Congratulations to the 3 lucky (and randomly picked) players that sent in the correct answer for last week's question!

Sacramento - Equality California is pleased to announce the first eight items in its 2015 legislative package which would improve and advance equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Californians and their families. Equality California will announce additional legislation in the coming weeks.
LOS ANGELES - Equality California released the following statement regarding the proposed anti-LGBT ballot initiative, the "Sodomite Suppression Act", and Attorney General Kamala Harris' decision to seek judicial authorization to not issue a title and summary.
Los Angeles - Equality California, the nation's second largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender membership organization, has endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. EQCA is the first major LGBT organization in the nation to endorse the former Secretary of State for President.
Introduced by Senator Mark Leno, Senate Bill 703 builds on existing California law that prohibits employers from discriminating based on gender, including gender identity, in employee benefits. Sponsored by NCLR, EQCA, and TLC, the bill prohibits a state agency from entering into a contract in the amount of $100,000 or more with any company that discriminates based on gender identity by failing to offer equal benefits to all employees regardless of their gender identity.

I've been bursting to tell you guys this news since I started learning it a few weeks ago, and now I've finally asked permission to share a wonderful story!
My Drawing 1 instructor Paula Gray used to work for Disneyland, and as soon as I overheard this, I picked her brain about what she did there, how she got to work there, etc, etc.
She told me this wonderful story: when she was a little girl, her family didn't have a lot of money, so her mother volunteered to run a branch of the library in their home (they lived out in a rural area). She would spend all this time looking through the books. She once found a book about the film animation of Walt Disney (this was still a newish thing at the time), and in it there was a picture of a man looking over a portfolio of art work. She used to look at it and wonder how you would get into such a business, where that man would browse your portfolio and you would make artwork for things like animated films. Even as a little girl, she wanted to be in that studio, doing these wonderful new things, and the "behind the scenes" type photo of that man symbolized it for her.
Flash forward to her years in art school: she was in the middle of a studio class when someone came in and asked "does anyone here need a job?" so she raised her hand and was handed a flyer. She didn't know what job it was, but she was told to take her portfolio to the address on the paper. And what do you know, she got the job working (officially as a model maker, but really doing everything imaginable) with the Disney Imagineers for Disneyland.
Soon after she was hired, she got to know the lady working next to her. Her new friend invited her home for dinner, to meet her husband. The lady was Alice, and her husband was Marc Davis, the man from the photo in the book! It was the beginning of a close, lifelong friendship, with the Davises sort of taking her under their wing, even helping her pay for art school! Serendipity at work.
Of course I asked her if she ever met Walt. She said not officially, but that she worked in close proximity to him often because he was so hands on that he would always be walking around the studios and warehouses. She told about a time when once, the person next to her nudged her while they were working, and she turned around, and Walt had been watching her from right behind them, over her shoulder, and she got very excited and nervous! I would to, I think I'd jump out of my skin, haha!
I asked her what she worked on: She worked on Small World with Mary Blair, especially on the clock figures. She worked on Pirates. She worked on the Haunted Mansion. She worked on stuff for WDW too later, but she didn't say what specifically. I was blown away. She worked on some of the most iconic and best loved attractions, alongside Disney legends!
Paula was very surprised by my enthusiasm for Disneyland, and she was even more shocked that I recognized so many names such as the Davises, Mary Blair, and Ward Kimball. Never mind that I don't even know half of what some of your guys know! She is still great friends with Alice Davis, and the last time she talked to her, she told her about me. Paula says that when I get back down to southern California, she's be happy to arrange a meeting between Alice and I (and probably herself if she can make it down south). This is amazing news for me, since this semester I've become increasingly interested in costume desgin and construction, and Alice of course did all the costumes for the AAs on POTC and small world!
So I am stunned and overjoyed about this amazing opportunity. I'm going to need your guys' help to get fully educated on Alice and Marc if I'm going to meet her! And of course you'll have to help me think of questions for her before the day comes.
