Inpatient Programming
Play enables children to exert control over various aspects of their environment while helping to create a sense of mastery in circumstances they may not have control over. We offer various activities to help normalize the hospital stay, including supervised play, evening and weekend activities, special events, and holiday parties.
Animal Assisted Therapy
Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a therapeutic intervention designed to improve the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional functioning of patients. AAT uses specially trained therapy dogs. AAT integrates the use of the human/animal bond and goal directed interventions as an integral part of the treatment process. Working animals and handlers must be screened, trained and meet specific criteria. The recreational therapist is responsible for setting therapeutic goals and guides the interaction between the patient and the dog. Events We offer a variety of special themed events throughout the year, celebrating holidays, special visits, or other occasions, for patients and families.
Outdoor Play and Community Trips
Outdoor play areas are accessible from all our buildings. Participating in outdoor play helps to increase relaxation, and decrease stress while connecting to nature. Being outdoors helps reset the "internal clock", balances hormones, and promotes healthy weight. Trips into the community are arranged whenever appropriate for our patients, whether it be to the movies, the mall, a sports game, concert, or other event.
Pet Visitation
Pet Visitation is designed to promote socialization, reduce stress, increase self esteem, and increase quality of life. During pet visitation, Recreational Therapists and dog handlers facilitate interaction between the dogs and patients in a group setting. Patients are given the opportunity to participate in various diversional activities. Some activities include playing catch, grooming, petting, giving treats and socializing.
We provide several safe and fun environments for children to grow and develop during their hospital stay. Our recreation room includes board games, computers, crafts, video games, and other activities for school-age and adolescents to pursue their leisure interests. This can be either structured or unstructured. In our playroom infants, toddlers, and pre-school age children are given opportunities to explore and develop their play and social skills in a supervised playroom. Age appropriate toys and gross motor play are available.
Sibling Support
Whether your child is being hospitalized for only a short time or if your child has on-going special health needs, your typically developing children have their own unique needs. Though siblings are often resilient, they benefit from opportunities to express their thoughts and feelings.

Pablo Ochoa And Gabriel Blue
Cute face and hairy body, Gabriel Blue walks in on roomie Pablo Ochoa while he's beginning a jerk off session in the livingroom. "Hey, can I get a little privacy here?" says Pablo. Gabriel tells him to relax, and asks to join him. Curious Gabriel is eying Pablo's Latino cock and surprises Pablo with a request to stroke his cock for him. At first Pablo says "no way dude!" But Gabriel convinces him and as if that wasn't enough, he then asks to suck it! Gabriel has the cutest smile when Pablo agrees and he begins to give his roomie a blow job.

YORK, S.C. -- The defense has rested in the trial of a woman accused of hatching a plot to kill her boyfriend.
Julia Phillips did not take the stand Wednesday. She explained her choice not to testify, saying that she had been up praying about it.
When asked if she knew of her rights to testify or not testify, Phillips rose from her seat and told the court, I've been up since 4 a.m. praying, and I think the best thing for me would be to not testify.
In the end, the woman facing murder charges for the death of former York mayor Melvin Roberts said she put her faith in God. I think I've discussed everything, Phillips said.
She then added, Like I've said, I'm a Christian and I place my confidence in God, not the court.
Her defense lawyer called one witness to the stand. The forensic expert in gunshot residue said some agencies would not state that Phillips had residue on her clothes.
David Roberts, son of Melvin Roberts who Phillips is accused of killing said he had been waiting since the day Dad died to hear what Phillips had to say.
He acknowledged that he and the rest of his family may never hear from Phillips, regardless of what happens after a verdict is reached.
Closing arguments will begin Thursday morning at 9:30.

Remember Me
Then, after two more studio albums and a live set, life interceded again. Indigenous unexpectedly broke up. There's always some sort of conflict in every band in the world, says Mato. With us, we grew up together in this band, and we were still learning about ourselves and what we were capable of as musicians. After being together for so long, everyone was eager to try new directions. Following the split, each of Matos siblings, with the exception of bassist Pte who played on the new disc, had the opportunity to explore their own musical potential outside the already defined stylistic approach of the band.
All of which means that today, despite the changes, Mato is forging his own way as the face of Indigenous, still and again one of blues-rocks most exciting talents. "I feel really good about moving forward," he says. "There's almost a sense of liberation. And I also feel good that my brother and sister will have a chance to express themselves, too."
The new Indigenous album, Chasing the Sun, finds Mato expressing himself as never before. His songs and his instrumental skill were always critical to the bands success and this album thrusts his abilities to center stage. Tunes like the opening Runaway and The Way You Shake, co-written with his sister Wanbdi, have all the trademarks of classic Indigenous: explosive guitar hooks, inventive solos, and an inexorable sense of rhythm ala Jimmy Reed. The six-minute Leaving simmers with the passion of Hendrixs slow blues, while Come On Home finds Matos ardent vocals cushioned by acoustic guitar and spicy electric punctuations. Fool Me Again, one of the discs pivotal moments, finds Mato in Robert Cray mode, with a gorgeous guitar motif, some inspired solos, and the records most memorable chorus.
"For the last couple of years I've concentrated on my singing, rather than my guitar playing," he explains. The shift in emphasis is evident. As many already know, Mato began his journey as an excitable young student of the guitar and heroes like Freddie King, Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. "I was young and totally in love with the sound of the guitar," he says. His enthusiasm and his natural born talent turned him into a budding superstar on the guitar scene. But on Chasing the Sun, Mato has balanced his guitar with his other musical strengths, elevating the album on all fronts.
"I gave myself a chance to figure out different ideas," he says, "and focus on things like melodies and chord progressions. I also sat back and listened to different singers to get vocal ideas. That meant stepping ever so slightly away from the rough and tumble electric blues Indigenous originally proffered. Growing up, I was into the old soul, R&B, and its always been my thing, so we moved a little bit in that direction."
While he started his singer career late and by default, Mato has since bloomed into a bona-fide vocalist. His newfound emphasis on voice, peppered his nods to favorites like Otis, Marvin, and Los Lobos David Hidalgo, pervades Chasing the Sun. "The vocals came out a lot stronger on this record," Mato admits, "and I think it was because I felt a lot more confident."
Putting Chasing the Sun together tested Mato's confidence. He committed his original ideas to cassette tape by himself, playing guitar and drums, then sent those acoustic-based ideas in to producer and collaborator Steve Fishell. "It was a lot of fun working with Steve," he says. "He sat back, listened and really let me do what I do. Once in a while wed retake a solo or hed suggest a different lyric. But what he really helped with was gear and sound engineering."
That was particularly important for Mato, who often likes to get things done live in the studio. In fact, Chasing the Sun includes a handful of songs done precisely that way: Ill Be Waiting, Leaving and the exhilarating instrumental Out of Nowhere were all laid down live in the studio.
"I think we all get tastier as we get older," says Mato. "When you're young, you invest a lot of energy into something. But as you get more experienced, you turn that energy into taste." Which makes Chasing the Sun a very satisfying dish, even if life did throw him a curve or two along the way.

Though memories of the past winter's cold have yet to fade, attention is now directed to recognizing the risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke in the warmer months ahead.
From 1999 to 2010, a total of 7,415 deaths in the United States — an average of 618 per year — were associated with exposure to excessive natural heat according to the National Vital Statistics System, mortality public use data files, 1999-2010. That's more fatalities than from hurricanes, lightening, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes, all combined, during the same time period.
Infants, children and the elderly are the most likely to suffer from heat stress, but it can happen to anybody. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke in time to seek treatment might save your life, or that of a loved one.
Heat exhaustion occurs when your body gets too hot. It may be triggered by several days of inadequate fluid intake during high temperatures, excessive exercise and heavy perspiration. Possible symptoms include heavy sweating, a rapid, weak heartbeat, muscle cramps, low blood pressure, weakness and dizziness, nausea, vomiting, paleness and fainting.
The American Academy of Family Physicians recommend that victims of heat exhaustion be monitored closely because heat exhaustion can quickly become a case of heat stroke. Seek medical attention immediately if the victim's temperature rises above 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat stroke is much more serious than heat exhaustion and can kill. People with heat stroke may seem confused. They may have seizures or go into a coma. Most people with heat stroke also have a fever. In extreme heat, high humidity, or vigorous physical exertion under the sun, the body may not be able to dissipate the heat and the body temperature rises, sometimes up to 106 Fahrenheit or higher.
Victims of heat stroke must receive immediate treatment to avoid permanent organ damage. First and foremost, cool the victim. Get the victim to a shady area, remove clothing, apply cool water to the skin, fan the victim to promote sweating and evaporation, and place ice packs under the armpits and groin. Notify emergency services (911) while monitoring body temperature and continuing cooling efforts until medical help arrives.
To prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke, stay indoors when the temperature is high. If you have to go out, try to do most taxing outdoor activities before 11 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Wear sunscreen on the exposed parts with SPF of 15 or more. Take a hat or an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun. Wear light colored, loose fitting clothes.
Drink lots of water; carry a bottle of water with you. Drink water or healthy fluids every 15 to 20 minutes, even if you are not thirsty. Monitor the color of your urine; if it is dark colored, you are dehydrated.
Heat-related illnesses often spike in the early weeks of the summer season. Then as people acclimate to the higher temperatures and good public health messaging is promoted with tips to stay cool and to avoid heat, the spikes in heat-related illness lessen in magnitude and frequency. Be aware, be alert and be ready to respond if heat-related illness comes upon you or your family. You can read more about heat stroke and heat exhaustion at the American Academy of Family Physicians, http://www.aafp.org.

BatteryFu battery saver
100,000 - 500,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Toby Kurien
BatteryFu is also great for tablet use to keep accounts sync'd even when the tablet is in sleep/standby. Normally accounts won't sync due to WiFi going to sleep (see "WiFi sleep policy").
*NOTE*: BatteryFu requires root on Android 5+ to toggle mobile data.
BatteryFu is open source software.
* Lean and fast (see download size!)
* Work for all networks (CDMA/GSM) from Gingerbread up
* Notification icon: lets you switch modes even while inside another app.
* Data while screen is on, with screen off delay
* Data while charger is plugged in
* Pre-defined modes: Travel mode, Online mode, Offline mode, Night mode, etc.
* BatteryMinder shows battery stats, like usage during screen off, kernel wakelocks, etc.
* 3rd party app support (using intents) so that you can control BatteryFu from your own app.
* Open source
Tips for even better battery life:
* Select "2g networks only" in Android settings
* Turn off "Network notification" under Wifi settings
* Uninstall apps if your phone is running out of RAM (e.g. slow to get to homescreen or switch apps)
* If your battery life is out of control, reset phone to factory defaults, install BatteryFu and be amazed! Then slowly re-install some apps
* Do not put apps on SD card if they run in the background. SD card access drains battery.
See website for more information, if you have problems, or would like to donate. Email for support, I don't check comments.

As German cities struggle with the effects of rising immigration, a committee appointed by the Merkel government released an interim report recommending limits to residency rights for job-seekers from EU member states. EurActiv Germany reports.
Immigration from other European states to Germany has increased in recent years, according to a report approved by the German government on Wednesday (26 March).
"That is good news for our country", explained Federal Minister of Internal Affairs Thomas de Maizière at the presentation of the interim report in Berlin.
The document was tabled by a special committee assigned by the German government to assess legal matters and challenges concerning immigrants from within the EU.
Although immigrants contribute to prosperity and development in Germany, Maizière said, "on the other hand, we should not turn a blind eye to the fact that there are also problems related to immigration."
In many municipalities, the trend has intensified social problems and placed a growing burden on community service systems. Areas like schooling, housing, sheltering the homeless and healthcare are particularly affected.
Information from the German Federal Statistical Office shows that most immigrants come from Poland. Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria follow by a significant margin in second, in third and fourth place respectively. Immigration from Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal has also increased.
Nevertheless, immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania have been the subject of public debate, ever since the EU extended freedom of labour movement to these two member states.
"From a national perspective, the number of immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania is reasonable and manageable, but regionally it is alarming," the internal affairs minister said, adding: "It is right for us to confront this now, so the Federal Republic does not sustain significant damage."
The committee also proposed providing communities with €200 million in financial assistance over four years to help them deal with migration. The committee dealt primarily with the situation in municipalities hosting a disproportionately high number of immigrants from EU countries. Such municipalities lack apartments and sufficient housing facilities for the homeless.
But shortages in education for immigrants are also a significant problem. In this case, it is difficult to integrate them through training programmes and employment. Children do not attend school because they lack sufficient German language skills. Many immigrants do not have health insurance, but require urgent medical care.
The state secretarial committee proposed various measures to tackle the misuse of free movement rights. Re-entry restrictions are planned.
Further restrictions have also been proposed regarding the right of residence while searching for a job. Time limits of three and six months are being considered, the interim report said.
The committee hopes to cut-down on bogus self-employment and moonlighting through various changes to commercial law. Legal adjustments in family services and child benefits seek to impede potential abuse.

First of all, Bayonetta was a train wreck on PS3 because it was developed on the 360, then ported over.
Secondly, Last of Us definitely beats Halo 4 in the graphics department. That game is gorgeous.

What does it take to get the artists at Naughty Dog recognized for their role in this? Or any of the artists on Sony's exclusive games for that matter? I would say they need to do an exclusive 360 game to prove their contribution. But the Internet would probably never forgive them or ever recognize their skills in that scenario.
Lol at opinion polls as objective proof of ANYTHING!
That said - they both look amazing.

LMAO @ Halo 4 looking better than anything on PS3.
Save it fanboy - unlike you, I own both a PS3 and 360, and will also own a PS4 and XB1.
Opinion polls as hard proof of anything is absolutely ridiculous - and anyone with a lick of common sense is well aware of this.
I also think they both look great, as I said in my previous post. I'm a fan of games, not systems. But you keep on keeping on there champ - I'm sure you're completely level-headed and unbiased.
It's not like you lost your mind at the mere suggestion that both games could look great, and went off on some insane fanboy tirade.
Oh wait - you did do that.

Guys, we're not saying the 360 exclusives looked bad, just they don't look as nice as PS3 exclusives.
Multiplatform games looked worse on PS3 because of lazy porting and general difficulty with the cell.
Many developers have praised the PS4 for its ease of development, including those from People Can Fly.
Fingers crossed for Sony to enable PSN name change!!

Accounting Industry Leaders Want Changes to Corporate Reporting
by Terri Eyden on printer friendly
By Frank Byrt
In the wake of the international financial crisis, accounting professionals are taking a close look at corporate reporting and calling for reform.
"The downturn that has affected nearly every part of the global economy has called into question some basic tenets of our economic system," writes KPMG Global Chairman Michael Andrew in the foreword of his firm's recently released report The Future of Corporate Reporting: Towards a Common Vision. "If there is one point of consensus . . . it is that corporate reporting definitely needs to move on. It has to evolve if it is to be fit for purpose in a rapidly changing world."
Interviewee Perspectives
Hans Hoogervorst, chairman of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB): "In the case of accounting standards for leasing, it is very important to give investors a better view of the off-balance-sheet liabilities of companies, but there is 'huge resistance' to this."
Russell Picot, group chief accounting officer at HSBC: "In most cases, ticking the compliance box is something that financial reports do extremely well, but they are not conveying information in a clear and concise way."
Stephen Haddrill, CEO of Britain's Financial Reporting Council: "Reporting has at least two functions, to provide information and to contribute to the stewardship role of the board. Knowing they are going to have to report, [accountants] need to make sure the board is doing the right things in terms of monitoring performance."
Joachim Schindler, global head of audit for KPMG International: Non-financial measurements may include innovation (such as patents); customer relationships; employee satisfaction. A lot of the key performance indicators will have to be developed on an industry-by-industry basis."
Brian Hunt, FCA, CEO of the Canadian Public Accountability Board: "Companies are fairly guarded in what they say about corporate strategy and I think there needs to be more openness there. It would be a tremendous help to investors."
Sandra Peters, leader of the Financial Reporting Policy team at the CFA Institute: "From an investor perspective, preparers need to find a better way to organize, articulate, deliver and provide access to information for investors, rather than focus on removing disclosures."
As in the past, it has taken a crisis to prompt the call for change. The Great Depression triggered a transformation of corporate reporting in the 1930s, and now, the Great Recession of 2008-2009 is doing the same.
The report, which is based on in-depth interviews with ten top accounting industry executives and regulators, was released by KPMG February 7. A number of common themes surfaced from the interviews, including the need to:
- Make corporate reports more forward-looking.
- Achieve a balance between too much information and too little.
- Provide more useful real-time information and deal with "big data."
- Determine the proper role of narrative reporting in the "front end."
- Determine whether the notion of "integrated reporting" could be the "next big thing."
- Determine if there is a need for more detailed reporting from the auditor and/or for the auditor to give assurance over a wider range of risks.
But these themes can be ambiguous. For example, KPMG Global Head of Audit Joachim Schindler said, "Auditors would be willing to expand the content of their audit reports if the agreed parameters were right. As long as we have clear lines of responsibility, we are in favor of expanding the auditor's report. We have to do this. The issue is defining what more we should report."
Another factor driving change, but also adding to the challenges, is a move toward mutually agreed-upon international reporting standards. Recent changes in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have made a start toward a global language for financial statements, but that is just a start to what is necessary, according to the report.
"The financial crisis has made the need for global harmonization and integrated reporting more urgent. New technology will, in theory, make it easier to analyze corporate reports. But in practice, it will require a concerted effort of preparers, investors, auditors, standard-setters and regulators to move corporate reporting in the desired direction," the report says.
KPMG Global IFRS Leader Mark Vaessen warns that despite the consensus for change and the availability of new technologies to help analyze corporate reports, it will not be easy to make change happen. "In practice, it will require a concerted effort by preparers, investors, auditors, standard-setters, and regulators to move corporate reporting in the desired direction."

Wendi C. Thomas: Homebound senior citizens need our help for the holidays
It's the time of year when we indulge our shopping addiction and assuage the guilt of privilege by choosing gifts for needy strangers.
Be it the Salvation Army's Angel Tree or its newer equivalent for the elderly, Meritan's Silver Bells for homebound adults, it feels good to help.
From a comfortable distance, we buy our gifts, drop them off for delivery and give ourselves a self-satisfied pat on the back.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
But charity extends past the cash register. Genuine compassion isn't wrapped. It's a relationship. Meritan gave me a glimpse of that.
For several years, I've chosen a bell in the form of paper ornament on the nonprofit service agency's faux Christmas tree. This year there were 600 bells; as of Friday, 200 were waiting to be adopted. (See the sidebar on how you can help.)
I usually pick a female "bell," in memory of my late maternal grandmother, who had dementia. This year, I got to meet the woman whose name I chose.
Only after caseworker Latasha McKinney calls to say we're outside does Bertha answer the door of her tidy, small house off Summer.
McKinney, Meritan's marketing and development director, Elise Bone, and I file in.
Bertha, wearing a pink housedress in a style stores don't sell anymore, ushered us slowly to her dining room table.
I put the gift bag with sheets, a jogging suit and a nightgown on the floor and Bone reminded Bertha, whose last name I won't use to protect her privacy, why we were there.
"I'm trying my best to be nice to everybody, but sometimes I don't remember what they said," Bertha says, starting to cry.
We pshaw and assure her that she's fine.
When prompted, Bertha, who doesn't get around very well, tells us that her homemaker, provided by Meritan for two hours a day, four days a week, cooks and helps her bathe.
"What I like about her is that she's not demanding," Bertha says. "That lady is really nice."
More importantly, the homemaker is better company than the TV blaring in her bedroom.
Bertha, whose three children live out of town, tells Bone to pull a blue notebook from a nearby bookcase.
Bone can't find it but Bertha, who minutes ago wasn't certain of her age (she's 82), insists it's there.
She's right. It's a small album and inside are photos, carefully labeled by someone who cares about her.
The first photo is of the Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis where her mother would take her for ice cream when she was a child.
There's her childhood friend's house. The baseball fields she says her brother carved out of empty lots. Her elementary school, her high school, and an apartment her family lived in.
She has a story for each picture, and we listen closely, asking questions where appropriate.
I pass her the gifts, she's appropriately thankful and we start to say our goodbyes.
Bertha is sad to see us go, and tells us to come again.
Then she reaches for the photo album. These baseball fields? Her brother built them, she says.
Then she remembers that she can't remember much, and her eyes fill with tears.
I see her but I hear my grandmother's refrain: "My memory's not serving me well."
So I do with Bertha what I long to do again with my grandmother: I hold her hand.
I squeeze it when she tears up again. I nod as she turns to the photo of the baseball fields.
After three attempts, we make our way out. I smile but don't accept to her invitation to return any time we like.
That was Tuesday and I can't stop thinking about Miss Bertha, the inadequate gifts I brought and the scarcity of what she needs most, someone's presence.
Adopt a homebound senior for the holidays
Meritan still has 200 homebound seniors, known as Silver Bells, who need to be adopted for the holiday season.
All of these seniors are low income and many have few visitors. Their individual holiday wish lists are really need lists.
To adopt a specific Silver Bell and get the individual's wish list, visit Meritan's offices to choose a bell or call Sheila Williams or Elise Bone at 901-766-0600. Gifts must be returned to Meritan by Dec. 14.
General gift ideas include pajamas, robes, slippers, socks, lotions, toiletry items, books, crossword puzzles, towels (bath and kitchen), paper products, blankets, comforters and sheets, particularly twin extra long sizes.
Cash donations will be used to buy items the seniors can use year-round.
To donate, make checks payable to Meritan's Silver Bells, 4700 Poplar, Memphis 38117; or give online at meritan.org.

Glock 30 ridin' dirty and it's tucked boy
Cuz I could treat you like a priest get you touched boy
No homo
from Meek Mill – Young Kings Lyrics on Genius
Triple entendre;
Firstly, gun in this instance refers to the literal meaning. He's carrying his weapon and he could "touch you up" at any time. Meaning he could kill you
Secondly, the gun in this instance is his dick. Recently the Catholic church has come under much fire for priests being paedophiles, especially to young boys.
Thirdly, the last hidden meaning combines the two meanings above to complete the triple entendre. It refers to Meek actually wanting to "touch up" (kill/hurt) the priests that do touch young boys.

Obama delays oil pipeline, Neb. claims victory
"The influx of crude oil from Canada and increased production in the northern United States has overwhelmed outbound pipeline capacity at Cushing, forcing more oil into storage," said Cody Bannister, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association.
Bannister said the excess oil is resulting in the estimated 60 million barrels of oil produced each year in Oklahoma selling for an average of $15 less per barrel than crude oil from other parts of the globe.
"In one year, the state would lose $63 million in gross production taxes," Bannister said, adding the overall economic impact would be "far greater."
But the project has become a focal point for environmental groups, which say the pipeline would bring "dirty oil" that requires huge amounts of energy to extract. They also worry that the pipeline could cause an ecological disaster in case of a spill.
Thousands of protesters gathered across from the White House on Sunday to oppose the pipeline, and celebrities including "Seinfeld" actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus have made videos against the pipeline.
Environmental activist Bill McKibben, who led protests against the pipeline and was arrested in a demonstration earlier this year, said on Twitter that the protests had an effect on the Obama administration.
"A done deal has come spectacularly undone!" he wrote.
But fellow environmentalist Matthew Tejada, executive director of the Houston Air Alliance, was more cautious.
"We just got a stay of execution," Tejada said. "I don't know that we've actually fundamentally changed the mind of anyone in the Obama administration."
Tejada said the pipeline wouldn't lead the U.S. toward a sustainable energy policy, but he doesn't think that played into the State Department's decision.
"This is more of a political calculation to get Keystone off the books of this next election cycle," he said.
TransCanada said in a statement it was disappointed in the delay but confident that the project ultimately would be approved. The company previously said a delay could cost millions of dollars and keep thousands of people from getting jobs.
"If Keystone XL dies, Americans will still wake up the next morning and continue to import 10 million barrels of oil from repressive nations, without the benefit of thousands of jobs and long-term energy security," said Girling, the company's president and CEO.
The American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry's chief lobbying group, said the decision put election-year politics above job creation. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, used similar language, saying Obama had sacrificed thousands of jobs "solely to appease his liberal base. It's a failure of leadership."
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, through a spokesman, said he was disappointed. He also noted the lost job opportunities and "billions in economic growth on both sides of the border," but remained hopeful the project would eventually be approved.
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman said the State Department decision was due largely to pressure from Nebraskans. Heineman called a special session of the Nebraska Legislature to address pipeline concerns, including a possible rerouting of the pipeline around the Sandhills, a region that includes a high concentration of wetlands and the Ogallala aquifer.

you can do that in photoshop cs4, because you can put a clone window in from of the other one, you can even see it in grayscale, just click on window, and on the first option go there and go all the way down to new window, its the same file but in two windows, so what ever you do in one the other one affects too, i do that a lot.
There are no such things as bad art, just tight deadlines.
April 18th, 2010 #3
it's not a cs4 feature, this was possible from ages ago.. I am pretty sure I was doing it from PS7 (don't quote me on it..it's been a while, but definitely from cs and upwards.) .. and using cs3 now and have two open right now. One at 25% (usual size for showing) and 100% for details. You can even open as many as you want. just go to windows > arrange > new windows

What would a player have to do to beat Serena?

The players that bother Serena tend to be athletic like Jelena Jankovic at her best she gave Serena a lot of problems because she had the speed and the power. I know Serena and Jankovic have a close head to head I think Serena leads her 5-4 or something like that.
Wozniacki beat Serena last year in Miami but she was off her game because she is very quick and has some power. The other women have to hope Serena is somehow off her game making a lot of errors.
If you have noticed the women who tend to beat Serena are fast, a slow player is not going to get the job done.
Also, someone like Nadia Petrova or Samantha Stosur give Serena a lot of trouble because they can serve.
The problem for the WTA most of the female players cannot serve big like Serena Williams.

How to Be Safe when Home Alone
So your parents have gone out again and left you home. Even though you live in a safe neighborhood, your parents are still making a huge fuss about it. Here is the correct way to earn your parents' trust and to stay safe.
An editor has suggested a title change
In accordance with the title policy, titles should be the most concise, most commonly searched way to describe the content. To suggest a new title, change this template or comment on the discussion page. Notice added on 2014-07-23.
1Always keep doors and windows locked and do not open it if someone you do not know knocks or rings the doorbell. This is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself safe. If your parents have told you to open the door for them when they return home, look out the window or peephole if you have one to make sure it is them. This rule applies even if it is someone important at the door, such as the landlord. Other important door rules include:
- Put your burglar alarm on "stay" or "home" mode. Make sure your parents know it's on, though!
- Don't fall for the "I'm an undercover cop" trick. An undercover police officer will never come knocking on your door. If it is a uniformed police officer, then you may make an exception to these rules.
- Agree on a code word with your parents. The code word can be the name of a distant relative, a TV show, your favorite color, etc. This way, in the event of an emergency and your parents send someone to your house, they can tell the person the code word so that you know it is safe to open the door. When asking for the code word, do not say "What's my favorite color?" (assuming the code word is your favorite color). Instead, say "What's the password?" This way, you are not giving the person a hint to what the code word is. Don't forget to call your parents to find out if they did send someone before you let them in.
2Do not touch anything your parents tell you not to. These things may include, but is not limited to:
- The medicine cabinet
- Sharp knives
- Matches/lighters
3Never cook without an adult or an adult's permission. If your mom or dad say you may, follow all cooking instructions.
4When it gets dark, turn on all exterior lights and close curtains and blinds. Light and sound deter criminal activity, so keeping the outside of your house properly illuminated at night makes criminals think twice before doing something stupid around your house.
5If anyone strange is around your house or in your neighborhood, do not go outside or to where that person (people) are. If they break a law such as trespassing territory, breaking into a car, or even breaking a neighborhood essential (such as a fire hydrant), call the police! Dial 9-1-1(or 999)! If you aren't certain but you're pretty sure they're breaking the law, call an operator on your house phone. The number is just one simple number: 0. Talk to your parents about these strange people immediately no matter what.
6Talk to your parents about which channels on television you can watch, if you can go online or on a specific chatroom, if you can play outside or go to your friend's house from across the street, etc. Write these "house rules" down on a piece or paper or a notepad and post it up on a wall in a room you will be in for majority of the time. It is also best if it is a room that you pay more attention to to stuff like photos, sticky notes left on a library shelf, and trash on the carpet. Yes, some people DO pay attention to the most detailed and smallest items of their surroundings, often if they are bored or waiting for something to happen!
7If the phone rings, be sure you know who it is, especially check if you have caller ID. Do your parents allow you to answer it or just them when you're alone at the house? If you don't have caller ID or the ID seems unfamiliar, don't answer it just in case. If your parents plan to call you to check up on you, work out a system with your parents so that you'll know it's them calling if you don't have caller ID. Many phones have caller ID, though, so check to see if your home phone has it.
8Another way to stay safe when you are home alone if the phone rings is to make sure that you know when your parent is calling. Have your mom or dad (or whoever left you home alone) call you, let it ring twice, then call you again so you are sure it is them.
9If someone on the phone is looking to talk to one of your parents or both of them, don't let them know you're alone or they're not there! Just say, (assuming if they want to talk to your mom) "My mom's busy right now, may I take a message?" (Yes, it's easy to say that exactly and quickly! It's not as dumb as you might think!) If they keep insisting or asking questions, tell them, "I am sorry, but my mother is not available this moment." and immediately hang up! If they keep calling, don't answer them.
10Beware of prank callers! Did a group of boys at your school plan on making prank calls to classmates today? Are they going to call the same person more than once? If so, don't answer if you know it is them making a prank call!
11Don't spend your money on anything without your parents supervising you or a guardian over 18 years of age!
12Never use your parents' credit card numbers for anything or even your own (usually emergency cards) unless it is a super emergency and you and others are in intense danger! Excusing yourself by saying, "It was an emergency, without an ice cream cone I'll starve, and a salad won't help me!" or even "But I needed to buy that book or else it would sell out in an hour!" is really unnecessary and proves you cannot handle yourself and your money. Maybe even your parents' money!
13If an intruder is in your home, do not panic. It may be terrifying, but you have to trust your instincts and hide. Do not waste time looking for a hiding place, just hide! Most burglars are there to steal, but sometimes they want to hurt you. Run into a room that has a lock and use barricades such as tables or chairs or a bed. Call your parents and the police. Never attempt to confront an intruder, it will only make matters worse.Ad

- If you have a pet, specifically a dog, keep them near you as they can make you feel safe.
- Remember, the door is the last and most important line of defense. The easiest way to keep intruders out is to keep the door closed and locked at all times.
- Have a phone near you in case of emergency. If someone tries to rob you, you can always call your parents or call emergency services (911 (USA) or 100 (India) or 999 (UK)_. If you do not live in one of these places, find out how to call emergency services before you are left alone.
- If you're home alone and have lots of windows with no blinds, try to go in a place where people can't see you.
- The best and most suggested thing to do is if someone is at your door and you don't know who it is, don't answer.
- Make sure you have a good hiding place if a person breaks in.
- If someone does ever break in, find an open window or door to escape.
- Don't tell anyone you're home alone, you don't want random strangers lurking near your home. If you do see somebody suspicious hanging around call your parents.
- People often try to pose as an appliance repairman or someone similar to gain access to your home. Don't be fooled. If anyone comes like this call your parents and tell them. This should not be a problem if you keep the door locked at all times.
- Basically if anything happens that shouldn't have, like you accidentally told someone you are home alone, or you spilled cooking oil on the floor, or someone said there was a party at your house and people are showing up, etc call your parents and tell them immediately before you do anything (not after enjoying the party and don't open the door for the party-folk especially). They should understand that you called them for help and won't blame you since they really wanted you to tell them when such things happen.
- Cooking, showering etc. is a risky thing to do alone.
- Keep a mobile near you just in case you need to call emergency services. Having a phone in the safe room or bathroom is a good idea in case you need to hide there.
- If an intruder is in your house, lock the door where you are with heavy objects. (Couch, bed, counters) and call emergency services, if the police arrive at your home and they are near you, open the door for them. Remember the Police Officers or Sheriff (Whichever) will always be on your side protecting you.

BJP on Monday appealed to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung to form a high-powered committee to find a solution to the problem of public transport in Delhi.
"LG Najeeb Jung should form a high-powered committee under his supervision to find a solution to the problem of public transport. This committee should submit its report on the problems and solution of public transport in Delhi and NCR within three months," Delhi BJP president Harsh Vardhan said.
He said that Delhi needs a foolproof transport policy which has not been framed even after Independence.
"Now, the time has come to frame public and private transport policy so that travelling become safe and comfortable," Vardhan said.
Due to large numbers of vehicles and encroachment, he said, the footpaths have disappeared in the city, which has led to accidents.
The BJP leader also said that there is no bus terminal for private buses in the Capital and such buses are the cause of accident because these are run by transport mafia and there should be provision to control this service also.
"In order to control air and noise pollution in Delhi, it is necessary that the city gets rid of diesel and petrol run vehicles. The experts are of the view that within the next 10 years the population of Delhi will increase by 60 to 70 lakhs. The transport system will have to make provision for this also," Vardhan added.

The current show of 20 emerging artists is more than good enough to prove that my own personal truism, "Ninety-nine percent of all public sculpture is crap," may no longer be accurate. Almost all of the art here is coming from artists who are interested in outdoor sculpture as more than a decorative object or tedious propaganda tool. This auspicious trend has been amplified of late by organizations like Public Art Fund, the Sculpture Center, Art in General, and Creative Time, all of whom have been getting public sculpture into the world in exciting, innovative ways.
At Socrates, nearly every piece provides a jolt: the totem sculpture by Martha Friedman; the dumpsters by Cal Lane; the crotched park bench by Heather Hart; the miniature shanties by Rachel Champion; the Pepto-Bismol-colored yurt by William Bryan Purcell; the obdurate stalagmite by Rudy Shepherd; and the Peanuts cartoon crashed to earth by Ian Cooper. Also outstanding is Ethan Breckenridge's M.C. Escher-like labyrinthal sculpture, Mamiko Otsubo's beautiful teeny modernist homes on stilts, and Nicholas Herman's modular meteorite. Snoop around and you'll bump into other excellent pieces. In one of these, Fabienne Lasserre manages to riff on one of modernism's most revisited objects, Merit Oppenheim's surrealist fur-lined teacup. Lasserre, narrowly avoiding cliché, combines Magritte and Freud, and covers an entire tree trunk and sundry branches in fur. It's wild, witty, and subtle . . . like a lot of work here.

Sprint Nextel Corp and Clearwire Corp Agree to Increased Acquisition Offer
Sprint Nextel Corp and Clearwire Corp announced that they have agreed to amend Sprint's agreement to acquire the approximately 50% of Clearwire it does not currently own (the minority stake) for $5.00 per share, valuing Clearwire at approximately $14 billion, or about $0.30 per MHZ-pop. This increased offer represents a 47% premium to Sprint`s previous offer of $3.40 per share announced on May 21, 2012 and a 285% premium to Clearwire's closing share price on Oct. 10, 2012. This offer also represents a 14% premium to the $4.40 per share DISH tender offer. In addition to the increased price per share, the companies have further amended the merger agreement that was previously entered into. Specifically, among other things, in certain circumstances where the transaction between Sprint and Clearwire terminates, Clearwire will be required to pay a termination fee of $115 million, or 3% of the equity value of the minority stake. In the event the transaction is not completed, Clearwire has agreed to hold its annual shareholder meeting as expeditiously as possible and if the transaction is not completed under certain circumstances, Clearwire has agreed to waive the current standstill provision in the Equityholders` Agreement between Sprint, Clearwire, and the company`s strategic investors. That standstill provision was originally set to expire on November 28, 2013.

I'm not precisely sure which of the three I should start with (I have to buy, can't demo any of them here in Australia) but I was thinking it'd be either the Redondo Mid or the 2012 Black Ace. I have a short-list of 'only' 8 frames (apart from the PK mids there's the Diablo Mid; Dunlop 4D 100 and Biomimetic 100; Volkl PB 10 Mid and Pacific X Feel Pro 90 Vacuum) to replace my circa 1987 Prestige Pro (mid). Unfortunately, none of them are available out here and I will have to buy in order to try. As a result, I'm trying to put some thought into which one I try first.
Hi Andrew,
I haven't tried the new 2012 BA93 as I really don't know how to differentiate them by the paint job -- they look the same.
I have the first iteration of the BA93 and I had to mod it to a whole new racket to suit my play. As a result, it weights around 370 grams and about 13 pts HL. It has since become my WMD.
Anyhow, I'd suspect the feel from the layup should be very similar except for the balance and weight distribution, thus the lower SW. I "might" have unknowingly held the new 2012 BA when I visited TW's HQ last year when "the team" showed me a PK Heritage-mold prototype which, when dry swinging, felt pretty darn good with sorta of the right balance & SW.
To compare the feel of the Redondo and the BA, the Redondo's just soft while the BA's soft yet crisp. That's the best I can describe them. Power-wise I wouldn't wish to compare as my BA's so much mod'ed that it's not the racket anymore. But both are precise.
And of the rackets you mentioned: Diablo Mid; Dunlop 4D 100 and Biomimetic 100; Volkl PB 10 Mid and Pacific X Feel Pro 90 Vacuum, I'd suggest you take the Bio100 out of the mix -- just not our "classic" racket. I have two to my regret. (My customer's in Melbourne and will be in BKK next month. I may be able to pass the racket to you. Just PM me to discuss.)
I haven't tried the latest F100. It may be good. Just keep your options open.
As I haven't played the Diablo so no comments. Of the rackets mentioned, I like the 4D100 and the Vac90. The Vac90's really nice with the "right" strings -- and this takes a lot of experiments to figure out (if you're not using gut). Last night I was just enjoying the Vac90 and picked up the Redondo only like the last 20 minutes of my two-hour session (when the grip of the Vac unwound due to my improper winding of the grip). The 4D100's nice and soft and very quick in stock form. IMO, it's a very relaxed mid size when you just want to have a "play around" session. I bought mine used and the previous owner has like a ton of lead on it which really did give some serious heat for serious play. I've removed them all now.
As for the PB 10 Mid, it's a serious stick. Period. If only the SW was lower I might have considered owning one. (In fact I still want to own one for my collection.)
Hope this lengthy explanation can be of some help.

eBook Category: Horror
eBook Description: When a hit-and-run driver almost kills young widow Kate Jacobs, she dismisses as deranged fanatics the two men who warn her that dark forces are trying to destroy her. The eerie disappearance of her four-year-old daughter Sara changes her mind. New friends Father Michael Emeric and Dr. Ray Benson rescue Kate's child, but the fight has only begun. Dark powers from beyond our world want to destroy Kate and her daughter and prevent the birth of a future child foretold to have extraordinary psychic powers and a destiny as a great warrior against evil. Kate must develop her latent wild talents and allow Sara to do the same, facing the fact that the universe is weirder--and more dangerous--than she has ever imagined.

San Francisco, August, 1977
"The dark! It's watching me–make it go away!"
Wrenched out of sleep, Kate sat up in bed. From across the hall, Sara screamed again. "Mommy! Make it go away!"
Throwing the covers back, Kate glimpsed the glowing numerals on the alarm clock–one thirty-five in the morning. Nightgown tangled around her hips, she dashed into Sara's room and snapped on the light. Her daughter sat up in bed, rigid, her eyes wide, shrieking, "The dark! The dark!"
Blinking in the sudden glare, Kate sat on the edge of the bed and put her arms around Sara. The child's slender body felt as stiff as a mannequin. Stroking her hair, Kate found it damp, plastered to her scalp with sweat. Sara gave no sign of seeing, hearing, or feeling anything. She screamed over and over, emitting a siren wail like nothing Kate had ever heard. Shaking, she murmured Sara's name and massaged the tight knots of her shoulders under the Winnie-the-Pooh nightshirt.
Night terrors. Now, with her panic fading, Kate remembered reading about this phenomenon, a nightmare-like seizure so extreme nothing could break its grip until it ran its course. She'd never expected to see it in Sara, though.
She set her teeth, her own pulse pounding in her head, and waited for the attack to end. After several minutes, Sara abruptly fell silent and slumped back, eyes shut. Kate eased her onto the pillow, tucking sheet and quilt up to her neck. She looked sound asleep.
Kate watched for ten minutes before she could force herself, still trembling, to stumble back to her own bed. She lay awake for over an hour, straining her ears for any sound from the other room. Sara had never before expressed any kind of irrational fear, certainly not of the dark. Was she sick? She didn't have a fever. Was the stress of having no father and a working mother taking its psychological toll? I can't believe that, not when she's always handled it so well. And if I did believe it, what could I do about it? A succession of worries chased each other around Kate's skull like hamsters on a wheel until exhaustion stilled them.
* * * *
The next morning, she considered asking for the day off from work. To her surprise, though, Sara didn't mention her panic attack. She dressed herself and ate her whole-wheat raisin toast as calmly as ever. When Mrs. Pacheco, the widowed grandmother who lived upstairs, arrived to baby-sit as usual, Sara welcomed her with no apparent reluctance. Rather than upset Sara all over again, Kate left at her normal time.
When she came home that afternoon, though, Mrs. Pacheco greeted her with the whispered remark, "I don't understand what's gotten into Sara this afternoon. About an hour ago, she started acting, well, nervous."
"Nervous?" Kate kept her voice low, glancing from the foyer into the living room, where Sara sat on the rug in front of the TV, watching Sesame Street.
"It's not like her, Mrs. Jacobs, that's why it worried me," said Mrs. Pacheco. "She said something about a dream she had last night."
"A nightmare. She's never had one before that I know of." So she hasn't forgotten it, after all. Kate gnawed on her lower lip as she shrugged out of her jacket and hung it in the entryway closet.
Mrs. Pacheco whispered, "She said she didn't want you to leave tonight."
"But how could she possibly know–" Kate herself hadn't known until half an hour before quitting time that her boss had an assignment for her this evening. She stifled a twinge of guilt about having to go out. This is the 1970s; mothers are allowed to have careers. As if I had a choice, anyway!
Recalling last night's hysterical outburst gave her an almost physical chill. It contrasted so sharply with Sara's normal behavior. No mother could ask for a more self-possessed, composed four-year-old. The child probably got her competent manner from associating so much with adults. Now Kate didn't know how to cope with this sudden change. Could it come from the strain of acting older than her age? Did Sara think she had to act grown up because of her mother's job? Cut out the amateur psychology, Kate told herself. One nightmare does not mean a breakdown.
At that moment Oscar the Grouch finished his trash song, and Sara leaped up to run into the foyer. "Mommy, you're home!" she cried in a surprised tone as atypical as the fears. She flung her arms around Kate's waist.
"Of course, just like this time every day." Kate let Sara clasp her hand and tug her to the couch.
Barefoot, dressed in lime green shorts and T-shirt, Sara perched cross-legged on the couch, with her elbows resting on her knees and chin supported by her fists. "Please don't go out tonight. It's real important." Now she wasn't screaming or crying, just making a statement she obviously saw as plain fact.
"I have to. I promised." Sara usually understood about promises. Kate stroked her daughter's honey-colored, shoulder-length hair. "I've worked late plenty of times, and you didn't mind." She glanced up at Mrs. Pacheco, waiting in the entry hall. "I'm awfully sorry about the late notice, but could you possibly watch her this evening? Starting about six-thirty?"
"Of course, Mrs. Jacobs, no problem," said the older woman, though her worried frown didn't relax.

'Game Of Thrones' actor Kit Harington stars in first trailer for 'Pompeii' - watch
Forthcoming volcano movie also stars Kiefer Sutherland, Jared Harris and Emily BrowningBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
The first teaser trailer for Pompeii, the forthcoming volcano movie from Resident Evil director Paul WS Anderson, has been released.
The teaser begins with an ominous voiceover intoning "Some prayed for help, many wished for death..." over shots of human bodies fossilised in ash, before giving a quick glimpse of star Kit Harington, who evidently did one or two sit-ups in preparation for the role, and some of the action scenes from the film. Scroll down and click 'play' to watch it.
Pompeii is set in the days leading up to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79 which totally obliterated the ancient Roman city that gives the film its name.
Harington, best known as Game Of Thrones' Jon Snow, stars as an enslaved gladiator on a ship heading to Naples who returns to Pompeii to save the woman he loves, played by Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), and his best friend, a gladiator trapped in the city's coliseum.
The film's cast also includes Kiefer Sutherland, Jared Harris, Jessica Lucas and Carrie Anne-Moss. Anderson directed from a script co-written by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. Pompeii will open in UK and US cinemas on February 28 next year (2014).

Longtime Blackfoot school teacher Melissa Hunt was among four Idaho teachers to receive a grant for $2,500 and to be honored by Idaho Governor "Butch" Otter on Tuesday. The event at Tyhee Elementary School in Chubbuck was through the Farmers Insurance "Thank A Million Teachers" program. Hunt teaches first grade at I.T. Stoddard Elementary School. The other three teachers were Sandy Andrus, Linda Empey and Shelley Hardenbrook, all teachers at Tyhee Elementary School.
The four Idaho teachers were among 30 national winners, and were among the top six to gather the most votes (via social media) for the education proposal in their region. Across the nation, nearly 2,000 teachers submitted proposals for the "Thank A Million Teachers" program this year.
