Bettina Wulff, Germany's former first lady, is not a prostitute -- and she want you to know it. The wife of former German President Christian Wulff is suing Google over its autocomplete function while searching, which shows the words "prostitute" and "escort" after Wulff's name is typed out.
The former German first lady says she's never been a prostitute but that rumors circulated about her allegedly racy past around 2006, most likely to harm her husband's political career. Wulff may not be a prostitute, but do you think the lawsuit is fair? Or is Google being sued for all the wrong reasons?

NYDAILYNEWS.COM reports:
Germany's former first lady is not happy with her Google results. Bettina Wulff, 38, is suing the search giant over their autocomplete function, which she argues perpetuates rumors that she was once a prostitute.

Mog of War 2012/09/12 22:29:44Team Google!+12Google's autocomplete feature is base on popular searches. Deal with it. Google could probably filter this from their autocomplete, and likely will, so this lawsuit is pointless.

+1Invader may be slamming you for googling her, but I'm not.
She pops up in conjunction with searches of prostitutes, escorts, and patron of German sex clubs. I don't know German law, but from a simple 'common sense' viewpoint her lawsuit is frivolous. As another poster here pointed out, she is responsible for generating a 'Streisand Effect,' where very few of us would be aware of any of these rumors had she not stirred up the pot so well and called worldwide attention to them.
Any searching of her name, which also searches prostitution and sex, is not spite at this point. It is a direct result of her own tantrum and mean-spirited (code for a less polite word) folly.
I just googled all that. Several times. - DavidK 2012/09/13 02:44:15
- Elementer 2012/09/13 02:28:39
Team Google!+4Wow... if she hadn't made a big deal out of it, I would never have known that, because I have autocomplete turned off in Search settings so that I can have it show 50 results per page. Maybe it's the herpes sores on her lips that make people think that?
Google "Santorum" and see what it says... the 'spreading' page used to be the top result. - abubincrazy 2012/09/13 02:05:58
But they're not controlling it... It's a computer Ai which means it gathers words and phrases put in by people and then puts it up to make searching easier for other people who use Google, they have no control over what people are searching for and even IF they erased it more people would just start searching again and it'll happen all over again.
It's on the people searching, not Google... -
I use Google every day. I know how it works.
Google has a quandary, I'll admit.
I also am not up on German law, so libel may be quite different there.
I repeat, what would you do if your name was coupled with scat-eating pedophile, ebola-carrier cannibal on Google every time? -
I TOLD you what I would do... :| Maybe you aren't reading my posts or you're illiterate...
"I would realize that Google can't control what people are typing and note that it's a computer program to blame, not Google itself."
I would ignore it and get on with my life. -
Oh. What would you do if google posted a map to and picture of your house for all the world to see? Oh....
What would you do if you had a heinous wad of bubblegum tangled up in your dreads? -
Censorship? Not this guy.
I do not profess to know the solution to this issue.
But YEW AIN'T nearly as smart as you believe yourself to be. - Charles R. Anderson 2012/09/13 01:46:29
+1So.. you want Google to Censor what comes up.
Hitler liked to Censor what people saw too.... that worked out really well for a few million people!
No... Google should NEVER Censor anything. If the lady didn't want a shady past to be a problem today, she should have thought of that when she was being shady. - TheR 2012/09/13 01:30:47
+1It is neither Libel or Slander... google didn't write it... google simply repeated past searches.. so it is PEOPLE.. Like YOU, who had already searched that were then Libel or Slanderous just by searching.
So... therefore... YOU should be held liable for the stuff that YOU search for, because the stuff you type into the search is indexed and others may see. -
No, I did not write it. When I search for someone and that comes up, it promotes libel slander. Google can not escape the fact it promotes libel and slander of individuals.
- ikeknight 2012/09/13 01:27:43
- redhorse29 2012/09/13 01:03:50
Team Google!+6It is unfortunate, but this is proof of at least one of the following two things:
1) Google's algorithm is damn good to be pulling up searches from six years ago.
2) She is of little relevance to the internet, such that her rumored racy past is the only thing that the internet finds use of her name for.

More, from a press release issued by Team Hammer:
M4 Broaster Chicken Honda's Benny Solis showed excellent form on opening day of the 2013 AMA Pro Road Racing season.
The talented team newcomer was second quick in the practice aboard his Honda CBR600RR, lapping at 1:54.006. The youngster from North Hollywood, California came back in the day's second Daytona SportBike session and dropped his time by more than a second with a quick lap of 1:52.939, good enough for eighth in a practice session held in high winds with plenty of crashes from other riders.
Solis avoided trouble and will now focus on Friday's two qualifying sessions.
Meanwhile, Chris Ulrich took to the track on the hugely promising M4 Broaster Chicken Honda CBR1000RR Superbike on Thursday. After years of racing aboard another brand of motorcycle, Ulrich is relishing the opportunity ahead with the new program.
Despite having just one day of testing prior to Daytona, the Californian was tenth fastest in the opening free practice of the season. He further improved upon his practice time of 1:43.366 with a 1:42.806 during the afternoon's first qualifying session. That mark placed him 13th provisionally with tomorrow morning's second session remaining to decide the grid for the season opener.
"It's a big change -- we're figuring out what makes the Honda chassis tick," Ulrich said. "Rolling into Daytona with limited testing isn't ideal but it's the situation that we're in and we're pleased with how it is going. We were tenth this morning and 13th in the afternoon and we did go quicker. We picked up some very good information and we're making wholesale changes for tomorrow to try to get the bike to do what I need. We were taking little chunks out of it until we figured something out with the front end that we need to do, and now I expect to make more progress tomorrow morning."
Commenting on the vast potential of the Honda CBR1000RR, Ulrich said, "It's a great platform to go racing with. It's so great to have a new challenge. It's refreshing and I'm excited. This is probably the highest spec Superbike that I've ever raced aboard. We have some engine management stuff to get sorted out too but we'll get it all figured out."
The squad will return to the famed high banks of Daytona on Friday with Solis set claim his grid position for Saturday's Daytona 200 and Ulrich competing in the Superbike season opener.

More, from a press release issued by LTD Racing:
Daytona, FL (March 14, 2013) -- LTD Racing and Huntley Nash opened the 2013 AMA Pro season on Thursday at Daytona with an excellent day for the young rider. Nash was 6th and 11th in the practice sessions for the historic race.
Nash, making his third Daytona 200 start this weekend, found himself in competitive form on the long course used for Saturday's race. Huntley's goal, to run with the lead pack in the race, came one step closer when he found the speed to run inside the top ten in the morning, showcasing the skill he has developed in his time on the AMA Pro tour.
The former SuperSport race winner was pleased to show good form in the afternoon, too. "On one lap, I had a draft but we were slow through the infield and the next lap I was able to go fast through the infield, so my ideal time was pretty solid at 1:52.875. That's a good start and what I'm really looking forward to is getting to go for 57 laps. The previous 200-mile races, something has always happened but we're working hard to have a positive weekend to start the year."
Nash has been training with multi-time Daytona champ Scott Russell in Atlanta, reviewing races and taking in a little advice from Mr. Daytona. "I've been training hard and really ready to get back on the track with the team and see what we can do. The team has worked hard and I gave them some extra work when I had a crash at Jennings a few days ago, but everyone pitched in and we had a good day. I'm excited for this chance in the Daytona 200."
Nash will qualify for the Daytona 200 in two sessions on Friday.

Digital three-color holographic interferometry for flow analysis
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 8, pp. 5471-5480 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (400 KB)
A digital three-color holographic interferometer was designed to analyze the variations in refractive index induced by a candle flame. Color holograms are generated and recorded with a three layer photodiode stack sensor allowing a simultaneous recording with a high spatial resolution. Phase maps are calculated using Fourier transform and spectral filtering is applied to eliminate parasitic diffraction orders. Then, the contribution along each color is obtained with the simultaneous three wavelength measurement. Results in the case of the candle flame are presented. Zero order fringe, meaning zero optical path difference, can be easily extracted from the experimental data, either by considering a modeled colored fringe pattern or the wrapped phases along the three wavelengths.

II. Hadrat Hasan radi allahu anhu said: Hadrat Ibn Abbas radi allahu anhu preached the people towards the end of Ramadan, standing on the pulpit (in the mosque) of al-Basrah. He said: "Bring forth the sadaqah relating to your fast." The people, as it were, could not understand. "Which of the people of Medina are present here? Stand for your brethren, and teach them, for they do not know" said Hadrat ibn 'Abbas radi allahu anhu. He further added: "The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu ta'ala alayhi wa sallam prescribed this sadaqah as one sa' of dried dates or barley, or half a sa' of wheat payable by every freeman or slave, male or female, young or old." When Hadrat Ali radi allahu anhu came (to Basrah), he found that the price had come down. He said: "Allah has given prosperity to you, so give one sa' of everything (as sadaqah)." [Sunan Abi Dawood – Book on Zakah, Volume 1, page 229]
III. Hadrat 'Abdullah ibn Tha'laba or Tha'laba ibn 'Abdullah radi allahu anhu (narrator cannot recall exactly what the name was) ibn Abu Saghir radi allahu anhu, who narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu ta'ala alayhi wa sallam said, "One sa' of wheat is enough from every two; young or old; freeman or slave; male or female. Those of you who are rich will be purified by Allah, and those of you who are poor will have more than they gave returned by Him to them." [Sunan Abi Dawood – Book on Zakah, Volume 1, Page 228]
IV. Hadrat 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas radi allahu anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu ta'ala alayhi wa sallam prescribed Sadqatul Fitr, so that the fasts (kept throughout the month of Ramadan) may be purified from any falsehood, wrongdoing or evil talk, and (at the same time) it shall assist to feed the poor and the needy. [Sunan Abi Dawood – Book on Zakah, Volume 1, Page 227]
V. Hadrat 'Amr ibn Shu'aib radi allahu anhu reports from his father, who reports from his grandfather that the Holy Prophet Sallallahu ta'ala alayhi wa sallam sent a person that he calls out loud in the streets of Makkah al-Mukarramah that Sadaqat ul Fitr is Wajib (necessary) upon every Muslim male or female; freeman or a slave; young or old. [Sunan Tirmidhi – Book on Zakah, Volume 1, Page 146]
1. Sadaqa-e-Fitr is Wajib upon such a person who owns assets, which equal the value of the Nisab. Such individuals should give Sadaqa-e-Fitr on their behalf and on behalf of their children, if they do not own assets equal to the value of Nisab. Yes, however, if the children do own assets which are equal to or more than the Nisab limit, then the Sadaqa-e-Fitr shall be given from their own wealth. [al-Durr al-Mukhtar, Bahar-e-Shari'at]
2. The owner of Nisab in the ruling as regards Sadaqa-e-Fitr is such a person who has 7 ½ Tola gold (93 grammes 312 milligrammes,) or 52 ½ Tola silver (653 grammes 184 milligrammes), or their equivalent value in money or any other form of asset. Or, one owns business or non-business stock equivalent to that value, and these goods are additional to the basic necessities of living (Hajat-e-Asliyyah).
3. For the Sadaqa-e-Fitr to become Wajib it is not necessary that one has fasted. Therefore, if anyone did not fast due to any excuse valid in the eyes of the Islamic Law; such as one is a musafir (travelling to a destination which is at a distance of approximately 57 ½ miles or 92 kilometers), or is ill such that his illness shall become worse if he fasts, or because of weakness caused by old age, or – Allah forbid! – one did not keep the fasts due to any non-valid reason, then the Sadaqa-e-Fitr is still Wajib upon the person. [Radd al-Muhtar – Vol. 2 Page 76 and Bahar-e-Shari'at]
4. If the father is so poor (that he cannot give his own Sadaqa-e-Fitr let alone on behalf of his children,) or has passed away, then it is Wajib on the grandfather to give Sadaqa-e-Fitr on behalf of his grandchildren. [al-Durr al-Mukhtar]
5. If one wants to give anything besides wheat, barley, dates or raisins; for example, rice, millet or any other linseed, then the price of 1 sa' of wheat or ½ sa' of barley should be taken into consideration.
6. In terms of weight, one Sa' is four pounds, six and a half ounces (4lb 6.5 oz) and half a Sa' is two pounds, three and a quarter ounces (2lb 3.25 oz).
7. It is Mustahab (act of great reward) to give the Sadaqa-e-Fitr on the morning of Eid day (after the beginning time for Fajr), before going to the Eidgah to perform the Eid prayer. [Fatawa-e-'Alamgiri – Vol. 1, Page 180]
8. It is permissible to give Sadaqa-e-Fitr prior to the month of Ramadan or in Ramadan before the day of Eid. [Fatawa-e-'Alamgiri – Vol. 1 Page 179 and al-Durr al-Mukhtar]

What is the theme or message in the story "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry?
3 Answers | Add Yours
The message that comes through the most powerfully for me is that you should not judge people by their outward appearances or social persona. In the story, the most gruff character, Behrman, "was a fierce little old man, who scoffed terribly at softness in any one." And yet it is Behrman that takes the very "soft", compassionate step of painting the leaf, which in essence, saves Johnsy's life. In a way, he sacrifices his own to save hers. So we should not judge people by what image they promote, but instead by their actions, because it is, in the end, actions that truly make an impact.
it seems to me that
Hope is the hero of that story. On one hand, when Johnsy is hopeless, she makes her steps closer to death. However she changes when she finds the leaf. On the other hand, Mr. Behrman dies after he becomes hopeful. However, he dies with success.
The will to live, to survive is another name of the hero. Johnsy has started the countdown to her own death by the use of the falling last leafs of an ivy vine, one could declare that will basically non-existent.
When she was give the hope she had the will and desire to live. She moved from what she wants to see by the naked eye to the unseen truth of life (the power of life)
The message is '' hope''. People have to fight any diploma to live, and the strong weapon is hope.

Sensual Play-The Art Of the Tease with Andrea RenaePassion 101 Classes @ SexploratoriumSaturday, February 9, 2013 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM (EST) |
Sensual play is the ultimate way to taunt and tease your partner. This unique form of kinky play can range from soft and gentle to painful and rough. With a wide range of toys and implements, you can create a constant buildup of excitement and anticipation to keep your partner on edge. This class will teach you all the techniques you will need to create a sexy scene your partner will never forget. Class is open to all sexual orientations and genders, partnered or not.
Presenter Bio:
Andrea Renae is the Education Coordinator at Sexploratorium. She has been involved in community based sex education for the past 5 years; teaching topics ranging from healthy relationships to STI prevention to Kink 101. Andrea uses her work in sex education and advocacy as a means to empower others to make informed decisions about their sexual health and pleasure.
The mission of PASSION 101 Classes is to provide interactive, educational and entertaining learning experiences that enhance the abilities of individuals, couples and other intimately acquainted persons to understand sexual techniques, improve the dynamics of relationships/intimacy, practice useful methods of sexual communication, maintain and improve spiritual/physical/sexual health, and to develop and appreciation of diverse sexual expression through performance and creation of fine arts.
Since 1996, Passion 101 classes have been offered weekly at Fetishes Boutique, Aphrodite Gallery and now at Sexploratorium as well as at regional and national conventions.
Presentations can be scheduled at your community organization, private party or student club by appointment. Remote presentations require a minimum of two students, but private one-on-one consultations can be scheduled in the Aphrodite Gallery of Philadelphia.
Course topics can be tailored to meet the needs of students by request. Students are encouraged to provide feedback via surveys distributed during each class.
Current curricula focus on four major areas of sexuality:
Some individual classes that fall under these categories are offered for specific audiences: i.e. women only, couples only, men only, trans only etc.
Our presenters do not act as sexworkers or surrogates: We will coach you on techniques and strategies for a better sex life, but we won't play the game for you or with you.
Check our upcoming course schedule of workshops scheduled at Sexploratorium and other locations in Philadelphia.

Hi, I'm Ryan Singer. This is Felt Presence, where I write about UI design and product management.
I've been getting to the bottom of things at Basecamp for over ten years. We make easy-to-understand software products that businesses use to communicate and manage their work.
I do things like:
- Design user interfaces
- Create product concepts
- Lead product teams
- Invent better ways to manage design and development
I believe:
- Interface design should drive product development because it's what people actually use.
- New insights appear at any stage of a project, so the development process should optimize for change.
- UI is software, so designers should know how to program.
I'm taking a break from writing while I focus on some exciting projects at Basecamp. Here are some recent articles:
- Want to Understand Design Forces?
Untangle design conversations into the forces bearing on the design, the solutions under consideration, and the fitness between the two. Mar 2015. - Managing product development by integrating around concerns
Essential product management technique. How to map a project out and track progress on the pieces. Apr 2012. - UI and Capability
How to think about the purpose of a product. Dec 2012. - What UI really is (and how UX confuses matters)
A simpler definition of UI design. Mar 2013. - Vital Elements of the Product Design Process
Three major areas to debug when you're trying to get a product right. Aug 2013.
... and some older ones:
- A shorthand for designing UI flows
A fast way to sketch user flows for complex projects. Sep 2009. - An introduction to using patterns in web design
People tell me this oldie changed the way they think. Oct 2004.

My friends and I recently took a tour of 5 farms in Vacaville, CA. It is about an hour drive outside of San Francisco, in the Pleasants Valley area of Solano County. The tour was made possible by the Slow Food Solano and Solano Grown groups. We started the tour at Soul Food Farm. There, they have pastured eggs, chickens, and Olive Oil. They are also starting to grow a bunch of lavender in collaboration with the woman that helps run the next farm we visited, Morningsun Herb Farm. They have lavender there, too, along with culinary and medicinal herbs. The next farm we went to was the Be Love Farm. The owners of this farm also own Cafe Gratitude, and Gracias Madre, which are vegan restaurants in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. The fourth farm on the tour was Sunny Slope Orchard. There, they shared fresh squeezed orange juice and oranges and other citrus as well as showed us their fruit trees. They have apricots, peaches, plums, figs, citrus and persimmons. Lastly, we went to Mercier Grapevines. Here, they grow grapevines to sell to local wineries/vineyards. They showed us how they graft together the vines and they also let us take one vine home to grow and one already growing pot of grapes. It was a hot, fun day learning about the local farms and how they operate. I am definitely grateful for these small farmers that take the time out of their day to give tours and teach people about the food they produce. Support your local farmers! Go to the farmer's market! Buy local! Really, it not just about supporting them, but it will help you eat healthier and it is always good to know where your food comes from. Below, there is a slideshow of the photos I took on the farms (in no particular order). All of the farms offer tours; just go to their website to find out more information!

April Showers Bring May Flowers.
Can you believe that we are only a couple of weeks away from May, already?
I know that I was definitely busy between, uh, last July and now. :)
But now that I am all caught up on the exciting things I've made since then, I will now share what I made in April, since I spent the month posting about the past.
In the beginning of the month, I celebrated Passover. I even hosted a Seder for the first time! I made a (super delicious) pescatarian dinner that included veggies from the farmer's market and fish from the San Francisco Fish Company and wine from The Wine Merchant. Here is a list of recipes I made/adapted for my Seder:
Baked Stuffed Zucchini (My favorite dish, besides the matzoh ball soup.)
Matzoh Lasagna (I added spinach to mine. Surprisingly good…almost as good as lasagna made with noodles)
Matzoh Brittle (made it twice…once for my Seder, and once for a friend's Seder. The first time, I followed the recipe and the second time, with the inspiration from a friend that came to my Seder, I added some ginger to some pieces and some cinnamon to others)
The fish part of the meal was just some sauteed cod. I just cut the fish into pieces that fit into the pan, sauteed in olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. No real recipe, just cook until fish flakes apart with a fork. I think it was about 2 or 3 minutes on either side.
Throughout the month, I also made some ice cream. I got the recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, David Lebovitz. I added a chocolate fudge sauce to it while it was in the machine churning, but it turned out I added too much, because it caused the ice cream to soften and it separated. This made it a sort of micro-chocolate chip-caramel ice cream. All in all, it was pretty good. I would like to make more ice cream using his recipes and just stick with the recipe, because I have a feeling they will turn/churn out well. (See what I did there?!)
Some other things I made this month include a simple pasta dish, an orange-lemon pound cake, and mini tartlets, again. The pasta dish was spaghetti, peas, tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil all tossed and heated/cooked together in a saute pan. First, the olive oil cooks the garlic, then the peas and tomatoes are added, and finally the pasta. Lunch or dinner is ready in minutes!
The orange-lemon pound cake was made with some orange sugar…which is just like vanilla sugar, but with orange zest. All you have to do is zest some orange (or any other citrus, or a combo would be good, too) into sugar and rub them together. It makes the flavor stand out more. The recipe I used was more or less made up. It is a simple 1:1:1 ratio, as you may have guessed. In this case, it was 8 ounces butter, 8 ounces sugar, 8 ounces flour, and an egg, some vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Bake in a buttered loaf pan in a 350-degree oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool in pan for about 5 minutes before overturning and cooling completely on a cooling rack.
The tartlets I made were basically the same as before, using orange curd and candied orange peel as garnish. The shells were made with a pie/tart dough recipe that used cream instead of eggs/water/other liquid. But you can go ahead and use sable dough if you'd prefer.
So, that's what I've made in April (so far). I am excited for what the month of May will bring! What are some of the things that made April special for you? What are you looking forward to in May? Share your thoughts in the comments!
All Caught Up {Fresh Pasta and Waffle Brownies}
As you may know, I have been trying to catch up on what exciting things I've made before returning to blogging. The last couple of items I would like to share with you are the fresh pasta and the waffle brownies I made.
Up first, the pasta. I made fresh pasta for the first time in a long time.
It is a bit of a process to knead together the flour and eggs, but once you get started, it is really easy. It is one of my favorite doughs to work by hand. Just two ingredients, rolled out thin, and cut into pieces. Cooks in a few minutes. It really couldn't be easier. And it tastes SO MUCH BETTER than the pasta from the store. You can even add tomato or spinach right to the pasta dough (might require more flour, to make it not so sticky) which makes it so flavorful, you don't need to add anything. Maybe just some olive oil. Oh! Pro-tip! Make sure you salt your water! It's the best way to add salt to pasta (or to veggies).
The other item I am excited to share is waffle brownies.
These are brownies made in a waffle iron. What the what?! Yes, you can pour waffle batter into a pan and wait a long time for them to come out of the oven. OR, you can pour it on your waffle iron and have brownies in like 5 minutes! We all know that (basically) instant brownies are the best! Don't be fooled, though, these brownies are for dessert, not breakfast. Or are they?! :)

Schmoozing in Sonoma
I went on a Sonoma wine tour with Birthright Israel/Bay Area Tribe. The "theme" of this year's trip was "I heard it through the grapevine." We (sorta) learned a bit about gossip/it's connection to Judaism, hence the title of this post, "Schmoozing in Sonoma". Also, it's just what happens when you get a bunch of (tipsy) Jews together. :)
Yes, it has nothing to do with dessert (though there was really good gelato) but it does have to do with food, so I felt like it was okay to add to my blog. :)
There were almost 200 people on the trip, so we were divided up into four different buses. Each bus went to two wineries and all of us met up for lunch at an olive oil company. (this is where the gelato comes in)
My bus went to Landmark and Mayo wineries.
The first was bigger (I think) and had better wine. Though, my judgment might have been thrown off a bit because it was about 11:45am and I had not really eaten anything before we left. The other winery we went to after a quick lunch-catered by Beautifull!-so I only had one (half) glass and it was only okay. But, based on others' reviews, I would say that overall, the first wines really were better. Also, at lunch, there was wine on from a keg (like beer) made by this guy. It was a cool experience overall. I would've liked some sort of tour/more background about the wine, and not just tasting, but I guess there was not enough time for all of that. I'll have to find time and a way to get back there again someday.

dc.description.abstract | This research was conducted to determine what the nature of teachers' educational beliefs about teaching, knowledge and learning are, whether there is a relation between their educational beliefs and the way in which they instruct, and if a relation exists, what the nature of such a relation is. Teachers' educational beliefs about the way in which learners learn and what they are supposed to learn, have a major influence on how the teacher instructs and on how the learners achieve. Educational beliefs are a comprehensive phenomenon and include beliefs about everything. Educational beliefs generally refer to beliefs about teaching, knowledge and learning. The construct epistemological beliefs are actually also used in the literature and can be seen as the more restricted construct that only includes beliefs about knowledge and learning. Both constructs are used in this study. The phenomenon of educational beliefs is used concerning the beliefs about teaching, knowledge and learning, whilst the phenomenon of epistemological beliefs are used when concerned with the beliefs about knowledge and learning. Educational beliefs vary from naïve to sophisticated. Teachers are characterised according to their educational beliefs about teaching as more teacher–centered or more learner–centered. Teachers who are more teacher–centered have more naïve epistemological beliefs and promote superficial learning, which leads to lower academic performances. Conversely, teachers who are more learner–centered have more sophisticated epistemological beliefs that promote an in depth approach to learning, which leads to higher academic performances. The implementation of Outcomes Based Education (OBE) requires inter alia a learner–centered teaching approach and more sophisticated epistemological beliefs. These requirements of OBE poses a major challenge to teachers with more naive epistemological beliefs, because beliefs develop over years and are deeply rooted and difficult to change. With this study it was found that the participants' epistemological beliefs could be typified as a system including more and less sophisticated epistemological beliefs, thus they did not only have naïve or sophisticated epistemological beliefs. It was also found that the participants of this study were more learner–centered than teacher–centered. Participants with more naïve epistemological beliefs were more teacher–centered compared to participants who had less naïve, thus more sophisticated epistemological beliefs that were more learner–centered. A relation was found between teachers with more naïve epistemological beliefs and a teacher–centered approach and teachers with less naïve epistemological beliefs (thus more sophisticated epistemological beliefs) and a learner–centered approach. | en_US |

32nd FAI WGC |
Deane: Standard Class Phil
Gaisford: Standard Class Sarah
Kelly Arnold: Club Class Tom
McKnight: World Class Bill
Snead: World Class Rick
Sheppe: Team Captain David
Greenhill: Standard Class (Reserve) |
Multi-Class Background |
The Standard Class is another class that limits span to 15 meters. In addition, gliders cannot use performance increasing wing flaps, a restriction that tends to make Standard-class gliders a bit less expensive. The Club Class is the handicapped class. Gliders across a reasonably wide range of performance are allowed; each is assigned a handicap based on its performance qualities. The Club Class has its roots in the idea that gliders with mid range performance, while no longer competitive against modern designs, offer an affordable and available alternative. The World Class is the "one-design" class - all pilots must fly the PW-5 "World Class" glider. Tight equipment rules ensure that all gliders are equal in performance. The World Class is a one design class with the PW-5 as the glider of choice. The World Class concept embraces the concept of an affordable, safe and competitive glider. The PW-5 was selected after winning the World Class Glider Competition organized by the FAI. See how the US Teams have done over the years or view the list of World Champions. |

The GPC genes provide instructions for making proteins called glypicans. These proteins are part of a larger group of proteins (superfamily) called proteoglycans. Proteoglycans consist of a core protein attached to one or more long, straight sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains. Some functions of proteoglycans are determined by their GAG chains.
Six glypican genes (designated GPC1 through GPC6) have been identified in humans. The proteins produced from these genes are each attached to molecules of heparan sulfate, which are a type of GAG chain. Heparan sulfate allows glypicans to bind to a variety of other proteins. Because glypicans have heparan sulfate as their GAG chains, they are described as heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs).
Glypicans are anchored to the cell membrane, where they interact with growth factors, immune system proteins called cytokines, and other proteins outside the cell. Glypicans appear to play important roles in development before birth. These proteins are involved in numerous cell functions including regulating cell growth and division (cell proliferation), cell survival, cell movement (migration), and the process by which cells mature to carry out specific functions (differentiation).
Changes in glypican structure and function are associated with several human diseases. For example, mutations in the GPC3 gene underlie a condition called Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, which is characterized by overgrowth of the body and other birth defects. Additionally, increased and decreased activity of some glypican genes (including GPC1 and GPC3) have been found in certain forms of cancer.
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) provides a list of genes in the GPC family (http://www.genenames.org/genefamilies/proteoglycan).
Genetics Home Reference summarizes the normal function and health implications of this member of the GPC gene family: GPC3.
Genetics Home Reference includes these conditions related to genes in the GPC gene family:
You may find the following resources about the GPC gene family helpful.
cancer ; cell ; cell membrane ; cell proliferation ; differentiation ; gene ; glycosylphosphatidylinositol ; heparan sulfate ; immune system ; proliferation ; protein ; proteoglycan ; sulfate ; syndrome
You may find definitions for these and many other terms in the Genetics Home Reference Glossary (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/glossary).
These sources were used to develop the Genetics Home Reference summary for the GPC gene family.

"I know I'm nuts," Emanuel "Mundak" Sheffer told me during one training session after I asked him why he constantly swears, "but you must know that whoever was there, and survived, came back crazy. Even those who think they're normal are nuts. No one returned sane."
Emanuel Sheffer, 1924-2012 / The genius of his generation
'Mundak' to his close friends, Sheffer was a unique phenomenon: a model of hard work, ambition and love of life. The young man who arrived in Israel penniless, began his way by selling cinema tickets in Kfar Sava and made it to the top as the national team coach.

Among the budget announcements made by Finance Minister K. Anbazhagan on Friday, the most popular seems to have been the one on creation of a new government department for disabled persons, to be supervised directly by the Chief Minister. "We are very happy that this has been implemented. In fact it has been part of our demands for the last 25 years. This indicates prioritising the issues of the disabled and we welcome it," said K. Gopinath, member of the Tamil Nadu Disabled Welfare Board. T.A.P. Varadakutti, State President, Tamil Nadu Association for the welfare of the Physically Handicapped, added "In my view, the budget fulfils the aspirations of the worst-affected in the disability sector." He complimented the Chief Minister for his initiative in setting up the new department. He also introduced a note of sobriety in the moment of celebration by articulating the disappointment of the rights lobby which believed that disabled-friendly access, and appointment of a person with legal background as State Commissioner for the Disabled, would be announcements.
S. Namburaj, secretary, Confederation for Mentally Challenged, also welcomed the move for a separate department for the disabled. Meenakshi B, who is part of the Disability Legislation Unit of Vidya Sagar said, "Basically, it is a good initiative that the government has started thinking of disability at the policy level. We hope that the government would also make clear what the exact functions of this department are.

Dave Andrews, the Altoona attorney who won the Democratic nomination last week for the position of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Blair County, has decided not to run in November's general election.
While Andrews won the Democratic nomination over Fred Miller and Wade Kagarise, he lost his bid for the Republican nomination to Kagarise, who carried the Republican-heavy county by 729 votes over Miller and 1,544 over Andrews.
The final Republican totals were: Kagarise, 4,635; Miller, 3,906 and Andrews, 3,090.
The Democratic totals were: Andrews, 1,596; Miller, 1,568, and Kagarise, 1,415.
Andrews, who released a statement thanking his supporters on Thursday afternoon, said his decision was made in order to focus on his legal career.
The full statement:
"After much consideration I have decided not to run in November's general election for the position of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Blair County. I will promptly proceed to file the necessary paperwork to formally withdraw my name from the ballot in order to give the Democratic Party plenty of time to select a replacement for the November election.
"I have decided I cannot devote time to both my active law practice and the campaign this fall. I believe I owe it to my clients and my law firm to concentrate on serving our firm's clients.
"I would like to sincerely thank all Democratic and Republican supporters who voted for me and worked so diligently on my behalf over the past few months during the primary campaign. It was an honor to have you on my team, and I will always appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication."
The Mirror is working on a story for Friday's print edition.

Published March 26, 2014
Just as the time of year determines when the sun rises and sets, it also portends how much you'll spend on your credit cards. Charging, it seems, is a seasonal pastime.
Consumers accelerate their charging the most in November and December and pull back mightily in the first three months of the new year. Credit card spending then steadily rises until it hits another burst in August and then wanes for the next two months, according to a Bankrate analysis of Federal Reserve data.
Knowing when and why credit card spending increases could help consumers smooth out all that charging, so they can avoid rolling balances and low credit scores.
"Credit usage is a living, breathing thing that reacts to what is happening in the environment at a particular time," says Ezra Becker, vice president of research and consulting at credit bureau TransUnion.
Find the best credit card rates at Bankrate.com.
Dissecting credit card spending
A Bankrate analysis of Federal Reserve data since 2004 found that credit card spending increases on average by 1.09% in November over October and then by 2.56% in December over November. Those months mark the most rapid month-over-month growth in an average year.
January, February and March show the largest month-over-month declines in spending, respectively, according to the analysis. By April, consumers slowly charge more than the month before and, in August, consumers ramp up their charging by 0.76%, the third largest month-over-month rise in average credit card spending after November and December.
Consumers slack off in September and October before ramping up for the holidays, according to the analysis.
External forces on charging
It should come as no surprise that the uptick in charging in November and December is due to holiday spending. But what about the ups and downs that occur in the other months of the year?
"January and February are pretty much your valleys for the year, minus those folks who fall too hard for Valentine's Day," says John Ulzheimer, credit expert at Credit Sesame. "It's hard to maintain the same level of spending you did over the holidays."
Spring and early summer bring a rise in spending as people plan summer trips, buy airline tickets and spend more on dining, gas and entertainment during vacation, Ulzheimer says. Spring and summer bring celebrations as well.
"Another season I see from time to time is the wedding season that happens in the late spring and early summer," says Rod Griffin, director of public education at credit bureau Experian. "There's more of that going on than in any other time of the year."
In August, charging spikes as parents spend money on clothes and supplies for their children before the school year begins, Becker says.
Planning ahead
Understanding the highs and lows of seasonal credit card spending can help consumers plan ahead to save money on interest charges and avoid higher interest rates.
Consumers reduce spending in the new year as they try to pay off the balances they racked up during the holidays. Many end up rolling part of their holiday debt over those three months and paying interest on it. That can become a bigger problem if they run into an unexpected expense during those traditionally low spending periods.
"You don't plan for things like a roof leaking or a car breaking down, which can turn a valley into a peak or a peak into an even higher peak," Ulzheimer says.
The best way to avoid paying interest is simply to budget for foreseeable peaks in spending, such as holiday shopping or back-to-school shopping, so you have enough money saved up to pay off the credit card balance when it comes due. For those unexpected expenses that can throw off the seasonal charging, keep some emergency savings to offset the expense.
Having a balance that yo-yos with the seasons also can affect your card's interest rate or credit limit if the higher balance affects your credit score. Issuers monitor their cardholder's score, and if it falls too much, they may take an adverse action to compensate for your added risk.
Higher balances can increase your utilization rate -- the percentage of available credit you use -- especially if you have few cards with low limits. That rate is a key factor in calculating your credit score. A lower credit score also affects the terms of any other credit you seek.
That means if you binge spend in December, you may want to wait until April, after your balances go down, to buy that new house and get the best mortgage rate.
"So how do you normalize your spending so you don't have peaks and valleys? It's nearly impossible to do," Ulzheimer says. "But, it helps to be aware of it so you can plan."

This is very sad :( I have been an avid reader since 2009 and I can't begin to express my sincere gratitude for all you have done for us Kevin. We all knew this day would eventually come unfortunately today is the day we have dreaded since your first retirement. I truly am unsure what to do the morning after Rangers games now without your wisdom and insight. In closing I agree it's only fair you get a chance to sit back and be a fan but I hope you continue to post on Twitter and occasionally on the blog if the others keep it going best of luck.
Tour friend,
Corsi is beyond irrelevant lets stick to stats that mean something please. By no means do I think the article was bad I just can't take anymore of this corsi nonsense. #screwcorsi
I was at the draft in LA and got a section of fans to chant Fire Sather immediately following the pick! I wanted Taresenko and still do what a whiff we had ugh can't waste top ten picks like that!!!
Why are we dead? We may lose but I believe in this team and you know what you should too. We were physically imposing our will tonight and the "more" physical Kings didn't seem to have an answer for all the big checks.... look we are down 3-1 but just as easily without broken sticks and rec league refs could be up 3-1 so we will see hand shakes and the cup next week with Hank hoisting the hardware! #LGR
I'm sick of this guys we are in the Finals and we have Lundqvist are we seriously gonna bail on this team now? Rangers in 7 Lets F*cking go
…the death of St. Louis mother has gotten all the headlines this postseason, but let's not forget the heavy heart Moore's been playing with all season and will for the remainder of his life. Not sure a more appropriate player could have scored the game winner tonight...
Great point Kevin this is why you are a must read after every blueshirt game thanks again for keeping the blog going I'm an addict and of course lets go Rangers!!!
Seriously no Diaz? No Carcillo? Yikes in Allain we trust I guess
@Scotty Hockey no it will burn us bad and he is on the down side of his career... I pray I'm wrong and you're right but lets be honest I'm not wrong
@supermaz he's comparing the situation of trading a young defenseman 5 years after drafting him...
@Beckfan5 @_Jack @supermaz atrocious coaching and refusal to assist in development... he will get better Defenseman take a while to develop
@Tom Jerhada lol
@FREE LINDBERG that would never happen you do realize Ryan is a highly coveted goal scoring forward right?
@Rose M. Presinzano I agree with you 100%. He has some woes but he is reasonably priced and has some tools so lets see if A.V. can help him grow into the player he should be... but what do I know I have only been watching hockey for 23 years.
Bye Bye Henrik it was great watching you play
@gravey94 @MikeBlue Most experts are calling this draft the best most deep draft since the 2003 epic
@JoshKaye everything is cap related here none of us believe Richards is a bad player... he's actually pretty good however if he doesn't get bought out think of this:
1. The obvious he gets injured and we can't buy him out without a cap hit.
2. He retires before the end of his contract (40 years old) then we get hit with the cap recapture advantage clause look it up we would have to pay for the years when he made more than his cap hit.
3. We trade him and he retires before the end of his contract then WE still get hit for the cap recapture advantage clause.
@GLENsatherVSglennDANZIG I like Prospal as well think he would be a good player for cheap
@gravey94 We all have to pray we don't trade him because if he retires before forty which he most certainly will we will get stuck with the cap recapture advantage clause which means we will have to pay for the years his cap hit was lower than his salary which will be a substantial... BUY HIM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Josh6 @Tspaker97 Ok well hopefully he is ready for NHL competition I feel that maybe a year in Hartford would do some good because Miller may be more at this point in his career NHL ready though Lindberg may have more upside down the road
If the Rangers decide to keep this guy than maybe an 8th seed at best... I Can't see Hank sticking around after this year if Brad isn't bought out
@Josh6 Josh I love your excitement for Lindberg but I wonder have you seen any of his games or is this all stat based? Either way I am truly hoping you're right I wanna see Hank pumping that cup in the air next june LGR
Haha yeah I'm in Rochester so you know the deal but I am confident our Rangers will do the trash talking for us.

Hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and new to a raw diet. I am not 100% raw, but am eating all raw foods except at dinner time.
I was wondering about recipes with lots of oil. I have Ani Phyo's cookbook, and all her soup recipes sound delicious, but they seem to have a lot of oil in them. The only one I've tried so far is the Tomato Bisque. After eating a VERY small serving, my stomach felt uncomfortable, and I just generally felt blah. Has anyone else had the same feeling after eating high oil recipes? Before incorporating raw foods into my diet, my oil intake was extremely low, as I only used a teaspoon or so for stirfrying. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issues, or if I should maybe start slower, and use less oil??
