By Linda Jacobson
As a young boy, Sanjay Mahboobani was a passionate reader. He travelled through time with Jack and Annie in the Magic Tree House series, and devoured each and every Harry Potter book as soon as it hit the local bookstore.
But as he got older, Sanjay, who lives in Redondo Beach, CA, began to lose interest in reading — he turned away from books along with his trucks, stuffed animals, and other childish things. Now that Sanjay is in high school, he rarely reads for pleasure. "I prefer playing video games or basketball or even hanging out with my friends," he says.
Sanjay is just one example of a trend that education experts are observing with growing alarm: large numbers of boys aren't reading, and this fact is contributing to a daunting achievement gap between boys and girls.
The facts are stark: in every state and in every grade, boys are trailing behind girls in reading, according to a 2010 report by the Center on Education Policy, which called this lag, "the most pressing gender-gap issue facing our schools."
Experts believe this gap is responsible for another disturbing development: as college completion rates continue to rise in this country, young men are not keeping up. Since the early 1990s, college graduation rates have steadily increased for women but remained stagnant for men. Only about 40 percent of college graduates last year were male — a difference that many education experts believe is linked to poor reading habits and literacy skills that boys developed in the elementary and middle school grades.
The lag in boys' reading skills is consistent from the early grades through high school. Since the beginning of the National Assessment of Education Progress in the late 1960s, there has been a gender gap in reading, which is measured at ages 9, 13, and 17.
In 2004, the gap at fourth grade had narrowed to only five points, but then grew back to eight points in 2008. The gap is the largest in high school at 11 points.
While boys today have many more beguiling alternatives to books than they did in the past — including video games, television, and social media — experts say boys' lack of enthusiasm for reading is not a new phenomenon. Sarah Flowers, a librarian for more than 20 years in Santa Clara County, CA, says that she's always found boys more challenging than girls when it comes to finding books that interest them. Journalist Peg Tyre says the issue really began hundreds of years ago. In her book, The Trouble with Boys, she points out that three centuries ago John Locke, "lamented that male students were not able to write as well as female students, and he marveled at how much more easily girls picked up foreign languages."
As boys progress toward college, their reading deficits can hamper their success in other subject areas as well, educators say. Susan Tobia, the assistant vice president for academic affairs at the Community College of Philadelphia, sees the fallout of low reading achievement when boys enter their freshman year of college. Students who have spent less time reading are at a disadvantage when reading becomes a significant part of the program, she says: "College-level classes require critical thinking and reflection, and many of our students are struggling with basic comprehension."
It's not only college courses but our contemporary job market that demands high-level reading and writing skills, Tyre points out. Forty years ago there were plenty of employment opportunities for boys who didn't read or write well. But over the last several decades, jobs for unskilled workers have been outsourced overseas. "There are no illiterate scientists, tech geeks, and engineers," writes Tyre. "Kids can't do well in math and science unless they have a strong grounding in reading and writing. But as educators have been making these grand discoveries — and creating literacy-soaked curricula in response — boys have been losing ground in the very skills we now know are paramount.
Experts cite a number of different factors to explain the crisis of boys and reading.
Today's accelerated academic demands have been hard on boys, who tend to develop more slowly than girls do, according to journalist Richard Whitmire, author of Why Boys Fail: Saving Our Sons from an Educational System That's Leaving Them Behind.
"The world has gotten more verbal; boys haven't," Whitmire writes. "To prepare students for a more sophisticated economy, educators wisely pushed a tougher curriculum down through the grades. Preschoolers today are confronted with challenges first graders faced twenty years ago. On the surface, that makes sense, but educators overlooked the fact that young boys aren't wired for early verbal challenges." As a result, many boys fall behind in the early grades — and never catch up.
Boys' initial developmental delays are often compounded by the way many schools approach reading. As boys reach fourth and fifth grade, the texts that they are reading become more challenging — and no longer have pictures. But boys often don't receive the support they need to understand or interpret what they're reading, so they think they aren't as smart as they used to be and begin to see themselves as non-readers.
At the same time, boys and girls approach reading in fundamentally different ways. Girls are more likely to enjoy relating to characters in books and often equate fiction with reading for pleasure. Boys, on the other hand, "want an immediate function for what they read and learn," says Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, a professor of English education at Boise State University in Idaho. His books on the topic include Reading Don't Fix No Chevys and You Gotta BE the Book. Boys need to feel a sense of competence or developing competence, and if reading doesn't contribute to that then they won't see much point in it. This is part of "staking their identity," according to Wilhelm.
Tobia, for example, noted that her own nephew was a reluctant reader until he wanted to learn how to do magic tricks. Then he couldn't put the instruction manual down.
Reading experts also point out that since the majority of teachers are women, they tend to assign books that are more compelling for girls; meanwhile, boys get negatives messages from parents and teachers alike about the reading material they gravitate toward, which can often be magazines, graphic novels, and books that feature gory scenes or gross humor.
There's also the issue of role models: if a boy's father doesn't read and he's encouraged to read by his mother and by his (mostly female) teachers, he'll likely begin to see reading as something girls do. Overall, women read more than men, according to the Pew Research Center. Women are significantly more likely than men to read fiction: a study by the National Endowment of the Arts found that in 2008, for example, 41.9 percent of men reported reading literature, versus 58 percent of women. (Men are slightly more likely than women to be daily readers of current events, according to the Pew findings.)
By the time boys get to high school, large numbers are lagging behind and losing interest in reading; for many, high school reading requirements are the final straw. Says tenth grader Sanjay Mahboobani, "The huge workload that teachers give us for every book is the root of our hatred of reading."
Wilhelm agrees. "School actually kills engagement in reading for many boys," he says.
Some parents and teachers blame video games for contributing to boys' lower achievement in reading and writing, and now there is some evidence to support that theory. A 2010 study by Robert Weis, a psychology professor at Denison University in Granville, OH, found a link between the use of video game systems and lower reading and writing scores. The research showed that video games were "displacing" other after-school activities that might have had more educational value.
Of course, video games aren't the only electronic entertainment vying for boys' attention. Computers, phones, iPads, and other mobile devices all keep boys connected to games, videos, friends, and other distractions — everything but reading.
Many parents wonder if shutting off the screens would motivate boys to pick up a book instead. Weis' advice to parents is to work toward creating some balance between reading and the activities boys consider more fun.
"I don't think there is much promise in blaming video games," adds Wilhelm. "We have to find out why they are engaging to kids and then bridge from this to other activities that will also be rewarding for them."
Teachers, he suggests, need to adopt a similar approach, and, for example, assign activities and projects related to the book the class is reading, instead of expecting them to enjoy sitting and talking about the book.
Wilhelm also points out that boys "experience video games as stories," and suggests that schools figure out ways to use the games as a resource to get them interested in narrative.
Teens like Sanjay Mahboobani not only find gaming more exciting than reading, they say it's more social, too. "Reading is more of an individual hobby," he says, "and I like to be with a group of people rather than by myself."
• Set an example by being a reader. Jeffrey Wilhelm recommends that parents — especially dads — read a variety of different materials to convey the message that reading is a way to learn about all different aspects of the world.
• Don't reject what boys are reading. If boys get a negative reaction every time they open a graphic novel or a book filled with gore or off-color humor, they'll stop opening books altogether. Expand your definition of reading. Magazines, blogs, websites, comic books, and other materials are often more interesting to boys than classic novels because they feature shorter chunks of text, which are more appealing to many boys.
• Take advantage of technology. Some boys are more interested in reading if they can use a Kindle or an iPad. Books made for these devices sometimes have interactive features and a boy might not be turned off by the length of the book if he can't actually see the number of pages remaining. Some boys also prefer audiobooks.
• Make connections through reading. If a boy is interested in cars or sports, for example, look for articles and books on these subjects, and discuss them with him after he's read them.

A ruptured or perforated eardrum is exactly what you might imagine: a tear or hole in the eardrum — the part of the ear that vibrates in response to sound waves. Eardrum injuries can be extremely painful and, in the worst cases, might lead to infections and hearing loss.
Fortunately, though, most eardrum injuries heal within a few weeks with no problems arising. When an eardrum won't heal on its own, surgery may be required to repair it and restore normal hearing.
The eardrum, also called the tympanic membrane, is the thin, cone-shaped piece of tissue that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It's found at the end of the ear canal (the part that gets waxy).
The hearing process begins when the pinna (the part of the ear that's visible) funnels sound waves into the ear canal, where they hit the eardrum and make it vibrate. In the inner ear, these vibrations are converted into nerve impulses by the snail-shaped cochlea. These impulses then travel to the brain along the cochlear nerve, also known as the auditory nerve. The brain's auditory cortex receives these signals and interprets them as different sounds.
If the eardrum is perforated, it can hinder the eardrum's ability to vibrate correctly, leading to muffled or diminished hearing. Hearing loss is usually temporary and can vary in intensity based on the size and location of the injury.
Sometimes bacteria and other materials enter the middle ear through this opening and can cause an infection. Fortunately, this rarely leads to permanent hearing damage.
Many people don't know that cleaning their ears with cotton swabs is a major cause of eardrum injuries. That's because poking around in the ear canal too harshly can easily injure the eardrum's fragile tissue, especially in young children, who have very narrow ear canals. (Tip: To clean wax build-up in the ears, opt for a wet washcloth and gently wipe outside the ear canal.)
But eardrums can be injured in lots of other ways, including:
When a child injures an eardrum, the first symptom is usually ear pain, which can range from mild to severe and might increase for a time before suddenly decreasing.
Other symptoms of an injured eardrum include:
If your child has symptoms of a ruptured or perforated eardrum (even after receiving treatment), call a doctor right away. Most injuries will heal on their own, but you should ensure that any hearing loss is only temporary.
Also seek immediate medical care if your child has severe symptoms, such as bloody discharge from the ear, extreme pain, total hearing loss in one ear, or dizziness that causes vomiting.
To check for ruptured or perforated eardrum, the doctor will examine your child's ear canal with a lighted instrument called an otoscope. Sometimes the doctor will be able to see the tear in the eardrum, but other times fluid draining from the ear will obscure the view.
The doctor might call for additional tests to check for hearing loss, such as:
If there is discharge from the ear, the doctor might send a sample for testing to see if there is an infection of the middle ear or inner ear.
Usually, eardrum injuries heal on their own within a few weeks without any treatment. While the eardrum is healing, over-the-counter pain relievers can help ease any pain. Consult with your doctor about which pain relievers are best for your child.
To help prevent infections or treat an existing infection, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics. These may be ear drops or pills to be taken by mouth. Never give your child over-the-counter ear drops unless your doctor recommends it. Some drops are not meant to be used if there is a hole in the eardrum because they can cause problems with the middle ear or cochlea.
To protect the eardrum while it heals, your doctor may advise keeping your child's ear dry. Tell your child to keep his or her head above water while swimming, and gently place a waterproof earplug or cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly in the ear when your child showers or bathes. Children also should not forcefully blow their noses until the eardrum is completely healed.
In cases where ruptured or perforated eardrums don't heal on their own, a pediatric otolaryngologist or ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor) may recommend an eardrum patch for your child. During this procedure, a chemical is applied to the edges of the rupture to stimulate growth and healing, then a paper patch is placed over the area to protect it. This procedure might have to be done a number of times before the eardrum is fully healed.
If all other treatments fail, a specialist might perform a surgery known as a tympanoplasty. In this procedure, a small patch of a child's own tissue is grafted onto the affected eardrum to close the tear. This is a relatively simple surgery, and kids usually can leave the hospital the same day.
In some cases, such as an accidental blow to the ear, it's impossible to prevent an eardrum injury. But other cases of eardrum perforation are entirely preventable.
Here are some steps you and your child can take to reduce the odds of an injury:

Look at those adorable kissable cheeks! My Gracie's not quite five months, and while I love this stage so much when her personality is developing and she's starting to interact with her world--I keep looking back to her newborn pictures and marvelling.

Mistake in Title: Blemder
Phoronix: Blemder On Android With OpenGL ES Now Works
One of the interesting Google Summer of Code projects this year was bringing OpenGL ES 2.0 support to the Blender Game Engine and also at the same time to port the game engine for this open-source modelling software to Android...
Mistake in Title: Blemder
Why does anyone need to do animation and modeling on thier phone? I mean ANYONE. I could understand porting Blender to OpneGL ES becuase arm servers/computers are becoming big and thier chip set tends to prefer OpenGL ES, but it was ported to andriod as well?
I hate calling any project wasted effort, but really, wasted effort.
The infamous Blender UI on a phone...
I also think that Blender can be used as game runtime.

"My life will never be the same," she said. "I owe a big thank you to [Musburger]. He's a fabulous man. He's so nice. I feel like the media treated him a little unfairly. ... I couldn't be more thankful, even to Brent."

Westlock is a tiny town that thrives on drugs. There hasn't been much new blood in the town, therefore most people are related, and dating. It is a very small town, that hates Barrhead with every ounce of their being. Hockey games usually result in brawls. We do know how to party though, but only in the bush.

Shimano Dura Ace Front Derallieur FD-9070
Please contact email@example.com to place your order.
The Di2 front derailleur's operation is pioneering, smooth shifting is guaranteed thanks to a microchip communication link with the gear levers. What's more, shifting the rear derailleur automatically trims the front derailleur. The biggest difference you will notice is just how much quicker and effortlessly smoother shifting on the front chainrings is, even under load.
The difference in the effort and time to actuate the shift between mechanical and Di2 is truly staggering. The removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires not only eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching, but provides effortless gear shifts.
The front derailleur also trims automatically; the cage moves in response to the position of the rear derailleur on the cassette to ensure no chain rub and a quiet unobtrusive ride, enabling you to concentrate on the road ahead.
Braze-on fit as standard; if your bike does not have a braze-on mount seat tube adapters are available.
- 11-speed E-tube Di2 compatible
- Compatible with 50-56 tooth chainrings
- Total capacity 16T
- Front derailleur weight is 114 grams
Please note:
- Discounts are not available on Team Sky Partner products. Usage of discount codes and tokens will be blocked at the checkout for orders containing these items.

Hip Action is formulated to help treat and prevent the common symptoms associated with canine hip and joint problems such as dysplasia, arthritis and stiffness.
Keeping dogs active, mobile and pain free - Naturally! Hip Action's unique formula combines a variety of natural nutrients to keep dogs active, mobile and pain free. The cornerstone nutrients, Chondroitin & Glucosamine HCL, have demonstrated great success in naturally conditioning joints and enhancing comfort. Secondary nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, copper, zinc, selenium, manganese and numerous amino acids have been added for their enzymatic benefits and to assist in the transportation of Chondroitin & Glucosamine to aching hips and joints. Vitamin C alone has been extensively used by many dog owners to help alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with canine hip dysplasia.
Hips and Joints get damaged over time. In normal joints the tips of the bones are soft and spongy and are floating in a gel-like fluid which acts as a cushion, keeping bone from touching bone. As dogs age, or if they excecise a lot, that cushion gets thinner and thinner. When the bones get close enough, or touch, the result is pain and discomfort which results in loss of mobility and stiffness. That's where Glucosamine HCl and Chondroitin come into play. These nutrients help condition and rebuild worn, aching joints.
Easy Feeding, Delicious and Low in Fat. Dogs don't like pills and powders. The conditioning nutrients in Hip Action are mixed into a tasty, all-natural base of real beef, durum wheat flour, fructose, apple, carrot and canola oil. Hip Action contains no preservatives and is naturally low in fat. Most important, dogs love the taste! The resealable bag keeps a 1 - 2 week supply of morsels fresh and delicious.
Getting Results, Hip Action Morsels will benefit most dogs. The degree of discomfort varies from dog to dog as does the ability to provide relief. Increased comfort is typically achieved in 4 - 6 weeks of daily feeding. Owners are urged to pay close attention to their dog's condition because improvement in mobility is gradual. Getting the desired results may involve varying the amounts that are fed daily. See feeding instructions. Once the right amount has been established, dogs can remain active, healthy and happy.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Zukes Hip Action Dog Treats:
We had a 14yr old Lab who was suffering with hip displasia and probably some arthritis in his joints... After I discovered these treats, he looked forward to, and was so excited to get his "cookie" every night before bed. Our sweet boy is no longer with us, but these glucosamine treats seemed to help him immensely and I'm sure made his last years so much less painful. I highly recommend them.

I've bought these for a long time. My dogs love them and I've seen good results from them. However, now that Zuke's was acquired by Nestle/Purina, I won't be buying them.

Best glucosamine supplement
By princhita
from Weston, MA
It gives you the exact dosage of glucosamine. Other products do not tell you how much you are giving.Visible improvement within 2 weeks of starting to give 1 treat/once a day
it's the Bee's Knees!
By Old Rollie
from Albany, NY
I get one of these every night before I go to bed. My human gets a chocolate covered raspberry square too (if she is good). No more spitting out those big pills she always tried to hide in my treats. I can jump up on her bed all by myself again too!

Great supplemental treat
By sophiemol
from Philadelphia, PA
My dog loves the mini-Zukes treats and the Hip Action are no different. I give her one or two of these every night for her hips to try to stay on top of arthritis prevention. She loves the taste, I love that it's all natural.

Great for Arthritic Dog
By CBryant
from Noertheastern PA
I purchased these for a friend's dog who is 12 years old, a larger breed, and has arthritis. She reports the dog really likes them, and her vet has encouraged her to give these as treats due to the ingredients. I never knew about these until I was searching through products at Pet360. Thanks for this great product.
Best thing for older dogs
By btdonk
from Playa Vista, CA
When I first came across this product I was so happy to find a treat that is soft and easy to chew for my older dog that has little teeth left. And it also shows improvement in her movement. Other similar treats were mostly harder to chew therefore making it difficult for her to even enjoy. Before this treat she would always take her time to get up and down from laying position to standing position, up and down the stairs and just walking around. You could see the struggle in her movement because of her old joints and probably some discomfort. Since she started taking this treat, once a day, she has gotten so much better and more lively. We call it her vitamin time.
Excellent buy again and again
By Joyce the walker

My six year old pound dog was born with two bad hip displasa and Zukes Hip Action helps her get around a lot better.

Death's landmark 'Spiritual Healing' record is nothing short of genre-defining. Originally released in 1990, Spiritual Healing marked a new turn in the Death discography, one which ushered in cleaner production, a new level of boundary pushing musicianship and songwriting skills that were previously unimaginable from a metal band. Spiritual Healing sets the standard for riffs, insane time changes and of course mainman Chuck Schuldiner's masterful guitar solos.

The concept of cheering for Asian American NBA basketball player Jeremy Lin because he keeps on winning with his team and everybody goes crazy for him.

Knick Fan: "Linsanity can't be stopped!"
by toast455
February 14, 2012
The 2012 craze brought on by former Harvard grad and NBA D-Leaguer, Jeremy Lin. After going undrafted out of college Lin spent time in the NBA D-league. Eventually the 2012 NY Knicks picked up the rising athlete to fill the spot of habitually injured Baron Davis. When given the opportunity to play due to injured superstars Carmello Anthony and Amare Stoudemire the young star excelled to the point of becoming a national icon.
Did you just see Jeremy Lin score 38 against Kobe and the Lakers? That was Linsanity!

1. the state of mind of Jeremy Lin fans when he steps on the court. and off the court. this highly contagious phenomenon has led to a series of wins by the Knicks, an increased basketball fandom among the Asians, and the creation of other words with 'lin'
2. basically anything that Jeremy Lin does because he's amazing.

The rage over the Knicks' starting point guard Jeremy Lin who spontaneously stunned the world with his amazing underdog story. He's become an icon for people everywhere, and is drawing widespread attention over the racial boundaries surrounding him and his astounding playing skill. Is one of the more popular "lin-" terms created by the media. Others include "lincredible" or "linning".
Did you see that Knicks-Lakers game? It really gave me some Linsanity.
I'm really gettin' some Linsanity watching Jeremy play.

A combination of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin's last name and the word insanity. It has been used by NBA stars, sports pundits, celebrities and fans alike to describe the phenomenon surrounding the player who went from being overlooked by multiple teams to breaking records in one week. The unlikelihood of this occurrence is what makes it so contagious.
Guy 1: Did you see Jeremy Lin's game winning 3 last night?

After emerging literally out of nowhere, he has become a national spectacle. His game winning drives are considered by many standards to be bordering on that of "insanity" and hence

Does flash work in trunk? 3.5.9? With what version? There are lots of variables here. I want a nice table to help developers in the quest to make annoying software work. Since most of the bug reports we get on this seem to be somewhat useless, and hard to collate, I made this page.
about:plugins in the urlbar will tell you what flash version you have
Reproducibility is what we are looking for here, backtraces aren't as useful, apparently. Eventually we can perhaps just link to this webpage from bugreports, as we'll have a nice matrix of what versions work, right?
Please fill in the below table, and go through a few sites if you have the time. The last ones aren't as important. I just want to know if they work for you or not.
Name | KDE version number (distro/SVN rev) | Flash version | 32 or 64bit? | Works? | Comments? |
Blauzahl | svn branch ~4.0.3 revBD2 | 9.0.115 | 32 | works | pretty damn stable |
mutlu_inek | trunk svn r804277 | 9.0.115? | 32 | see below | - |
hays | gentoo 4.0.4 | 9.0.124 | 64 | mostly works | - |
Blauzahl WORKSFORME flash 9.0.115 on a 32bit compiled system, 4.0.3ish branch. Note: should test with latest svn up...
I (mutlu_inek) can use flash. It works with a few errors (see test cases below) and reliable crashes of nspluginviewer, not Konqui, every time I browse away from a site using flash. The Nspluginviewer does automatically restart, though, so no grave problem. I am using self-compiled trunk, rev. 798847 799237 800877 804277, and adobe's flashplugin 9.0.124 on Arch Linux, 32 bit.
The nsplugin crashes have been fixed in trunk, I am running rev. 804277 (mutlu_inek).
Flash Player 9.0.48 works perfectly in my Konq r803177 (trunk). IIRC 9.0.115 hung randomly, crashed, and continuously spiked the CPU. System is 32bit. Logixoul 11:00, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
What happens?
Sahaqiel -If I close the tab after hovering the second ad counting from the right, nspluginviewer will crash. And besides, the ad will expand leaving a blank spot with the size the ad occupied.
Blauzahl - Sad. It doesn't all display. I get gray boxes. I swear this site worked fine for me the last time we did BugDay. I also get the ad expansion blanking the underlying text. screenshot
if you have multiple tabs open, and then hover over the dog ad, then close that tab, does it crash? uga says: uhm... tried but, as soon as I tried opening a new tab, my (google) konqui got locked
mutlu_inek - The site looks and works exactly like in Firefox: screenshot
hays - Works for me, no crashing. Looks like Firefox. Rendering looks similar if not the same. KDE 4.0.4/Flash 126.96.36.199/AMD64/Gentoo
http://youtube.com nice shoes.
mutlu_inek - The site looks and works exactly like in Firefox: screenshot
Blauzahl - worked for me, will retest if someone gives me a hockey video
hays - Only plays two seconds of the video. KDE 4.0.4/Flash 188.8.131.52/AMD64/Gentoo
http://maps.google.com ---> streetview Does it work?
mutlu_inek - The site looks exactly like in Firefox.
bug #161137 probably ought to just be closed, but we'll see if the guy does so firstsomeone dup'd itBlauzahl
hays - Seems to work for the most part. Noticed full-screen differences from Firefox, but still had functionality.
http://jamendo.com skip this site, it is hardcoded to look for ff or ie apparently. send them an email complaining instead.
Blauzahl says: Newest site on my shitlist.
mutlu_inek finds that the site works reasonably fast and simply browsing it has not yet triggered any errors. However, ...
http://www.atlasct.com/israel/citymouse/ You should see two maps, one bigger at the center and one smaller by the right.
Has a ton of scriptable flash.
worksforme atm. Blauzahl

When we think of November holidays, chances are Thanksgiving springs to mind first. But the first November holiday we celebrate in America is Veterans Day on November 11, which is our day to give thanks to the men and women who have served in the military. This Veterans Day, take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices veterans have made and thank a veteran in your community. A History Celebration and Tribute In 1954, the holiday became known as Veterans Day in America to honor American veterans, living and dead, who served honorably in the military during war or peace. According to the Veterans Administration, there are 25 million living veterans. Veterans Day reminds us to thank them for their service while they are living, and to celebrate the freedoms they have protected. In addition to expressing our appreciation to living veterans, Americans pay tribute to those who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms. The official national ceremony for Veterans Day is held each Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. Color guards from all U.S. military services "Present Arms" at the tomb, a presidential wreath is laid and a bugler plays "Taps." What You Can Do Learn More |

To post a new trap, zoom in as far as you can and "Right Click" to bring up the crosshair. When you bring up the crosshair, you will have the option to add a "Speed Trap" "Red Light Camera" or "Speed Camera". When you select your option, a modal will popup asking you to fill out the remaining information before submitting.
Red light cameras and speed traps are good ideas in theory, but not quite when put into practice. They have become a convenient and socially accepted way to fine drivers and increase local revenue while not actually enhancing road safety, as studies have shown. Article after article nationwide cites how red light cameras are used to increase the amount of money certain cities receive from fines, how well over half of certain towns' operating budgets come from speeding tickets, and yet how particular kinds of accidents, such as rear-end crashes, actually increase regardless of speed traps.
We are working on exporting 50 Thousands speed traps to GPS enabled mobile phones and devices. Who has time to waste in a driving course? Who has the money to spend on a lawyer contesting a ticket? Auto insurance companies increase premiums up to 50% for each of the three years following a single four-point speeding ticket. Premiums increase, the term "higher risk driver" is attached to your driving record, and hundreds of dollars are funneled into your car insurance, all because you were in a rush to pick your daughter up from school or to make it to the eight o'clock movie. The system is unfair to the average aware driver who may or may not test the amount of horses under their hood.
Njection provides an invaluable service to those of us behind the wheel who don't have fistfuls of cash to hand over to the likes of Prudential, Geico, or Progressive. If you are in your

Gold Award Ceremony Wows Recipient
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that you can receive as a Girl Scout. Being a recipient of the Girl Scout Gold Award is a tremendous accomplishment, but just working on the project itself, you feel a strong sense of completion because you know that all of your hard work is going to pay off. Me and my partner Katrina's project was titled, "Just Like Me". It is a documentary that will be shown to a variety of audiences that shows different families that have children and teens with special needs, and it gives personal interviews with not only the family members, but from the kids themselves.
I have to say I really enjoyed working on the project, but I really enjoyed the Gold Award ceremony. It was beautiful! It was held at the Hilton Rosemont Hotel in Rosemont, IL and let me tell you… It. Was. Gorgeous! I felt so prestigious and important walking
through the hotel. It was simply immaculate. Not only was the hotel nice, but the room where the ceremony was held was so elegant. I felt like I should have worn "black-tie" attire. The setup was also very organized. People could easily maneuver around the
room and see the projects and the chairs were set up so everyone could see the stage. The whole setting was classy.
Now, I must comment on the actual ceremony. It was worth all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the project. It wasn't boring. It was rather quite interesting. I thought it was hilarious and cool that the emcees where twins. They were adorable. I also
loved, loved, loved, Ms. Connie L. Lindsey's keynote address. It was short, sweet, yet very inspiring. Not only were the speakers and emcees amazing, but just seeing 118 girls receive such a great honor was an amazing sight in itself. Also, hearing about the
spectacular projects they did for their Gold Award was mind-blowing. It was really a wonderful experience and if I could, I would definitely do it again.
I strongly encourage going for the Gold Award. It really carries heavy weight and is a fantastic honor. Yes, it is surely a great amount of work, but there are great rewards that precede your completion of the project. Many girls set out to get the award, but
very few see the process through it. Go for it and push until the end. Trust me, it's worth it.

First-place O's looking for consistency vs. Twins
Gonzalez will take on May in opener of weekend series
Before the Orioles' last series against the Rays, manager Buck Showalter discussed his team's need to limit its offensive streakiness. Starting on Friday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the O's will take on a Twins team that's been going through the same highs and lows of late.
Baltimore managed just four runs in a three-game sweep at the hands of the Cubs last weekend -- before exploding for nine runs on five homers against Tampa Bay in their series opener. Meanwhile, after Minnesota scored 42 runs in four weekend games against the Tigers, the Twins were held to one run apiece in losses to the Royals on Tuesday and Wednesday -- but they hung 11 on Kansas City on Thursday.
Of course, the two teams couldn't be more different as far as their positions in the standings go. The Orioles, after taking three of four games from Tampa Bay, are 20 games over .500 and have a seven-game lead in the American League East. Minnesota is just as firmly in last in the AL Central after losing its series to the division-leading Royals, 2-1.
In anticipation of Baltimore's upcoming series, Showalter commented on the Twins' unenviable position of playing contenders down the stretch while they are out of the race.
"You're always trying to bridge two things," the Baltimore skipper said. "Trying to be honorable to the competition and have some integrity of the competition, but also to make sure when you get through with those games, that you're able to make better decisions on what you need to do in the future, so you're not playing those type of games anymore."
When the O's and Twins open their series Friday, Baltimore right-hander Miguel Gonzalez will face off against Minnesota righty Trevor May.
With Baltimore's lack of offense in the sweep by the Cubs, Gonzalez lost his last start, despite holding Chicago to two runs in 6 1/3 innings. He has faced the Twins once this year, a losing effort on May 4, when he allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings.
Twins rookie May has lost his first three Major League starts and has an 8.79 ERA in four total appearances. In his last start against Detroit, he couldn't capitalize, even with the Twins offense clicking, giving up 11 hits and five runs in 5 1/3 innings as Minnesota fell, 8-6.
"One thing I've learned is guys don't give you anything. You've got to scratch for every inch you get," May said. "I've learned it the hard way, obviously."
Orioles: Bench depth added by promoting Paredes
Until a handful of hours before the Orioles' 3-1 loss to the Rays on Wednesday, the O's had been operating with a three-man bench for the start of an 11-game homestand. Less than 24 hours later, that number was up to five after Jimmy Paredes joined the club.
Baltimore recalled Paredes from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday as the corresponding move for Kevin Gausman being optioned to the Gulf Coast League Orioles after Wednesday's game.
Paredes was batting .258 with three home runs and four stolen bases in 32 games with Norfolk since being acquired from the Royals in July. He went 2-for-10 with a pair of steals in nine games with the Royals earlier this year.
"I was a little bit surprised," Paredes said. "I feel so excited."
Paredes did not play in Thursday's finale against the Rays, a 5-4 Baltimore win.
Twins: Mauer gets planned break in finale vs. KC
For the first time since returning from the disabled list on Aug. 11, first baseman Joe Mauer's name was absent from the lineup card Thursday.
This was a mandate handed down by manager Ron Gardenhire before the Twins' series finale with the Royals.
"I told him, 'No matter what, you're out. You're going to sit today'," Gardenhire said.
And yet, Mauer pinch-hit in the 10th inning of Minnesota's 11-5 win, drawing a walk during a six-run inning for the Twins. He stayed in the game at first base for the bottom of the inning.
Worth noting
• Baltimore's Adam Jones was credited with a steal of home in the first inning of the Orioles' 5-4 win Thursday.
With Nelson Cruz on first and Jones on third, Cruz jogged toward second, drawing a throw from Rays catcher Jose Molina. Cruz got into a rundown and Jones broke for home, beating the throw from shortstop Yunel Escobar.
• When Minnesota's Trevor Plouffe hit his 38th double of the year Wednesday, he set the Twins' single-season record for doubles by a third baseman, passing Corey Koskie's mark of 37.
