Aztecs' RB Pumphrey a versatile threat
In 2012, his senior year, Pumphrey ran for 1,491 yards and scored 18 rushing touchdowns. But this didn't even rival his junior campaign, where he finished with 1,691 yards and 22 TDs.
He also ran track at Canyon Springs, and has been clocked at 10.84 in the 100M.
"With that kind of speed and his ability, he can do a lot of different things," Horton said. "D.J.'s a tough guy. He plays physical. He's not what you think a little scatback would be. He plays bigger than what he is."
Still, the Aztecs also don't want to rush Pumphrey's development.
"You've got to remember, he's got speed, but he's still (got) a freshman mind," Horton said. "We've got to be smart with him."

China further tightens quality controls on milk imports
Published on May 1, 2014 6:45 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China will further tighten quality controls on milk imports by demanding that overseas suppliers register with the country's quality watchdog before they are allowed to import dairy products, state media said on Thursday.
Exporting companies must first meet relevant regulations in their home countries to ensure that their health standards meet Chinese rules and laws, the official China News Service said, citing China's quality regulator.
"Corporate regulation management for foreign dairy producers who import will ... guarantee that imported dairy products sold in China meet Chinese food safety rules and laws from the source," the report said.
It said that the quality watchdog had already certified 1,122 foreign dairy producers, including 41 companies which make infant milk formula. Other companies, it said, would be added in time. Companies not registed cannot import as of May 1, the report added.

The Spark That Changed Everything: Homeschooling a Gifted Teen
If you have been reading my posts, you probably know that we are homeschooling our gifted teenage son, and we are trying to heal the damage our son's last year in school has caused him. Overcoming the effects of neglect from his last school where his giftedness and learning style were not recognized or understood is quite easily the most difficult experience I have ever had to deal with. I feel as though I am on call 24/7, and I need to be at my very best with – unlimited patience, endless compassion, perfect level-headedness, and total understanding – all necessary to be able to troubleshoot every teenage educational and emotional issue flawlessly with no mistakes because there are NO do-overs! Nope, no pressure here!
So, we are now homeschooling our high schooler, our gifted, quirky high schooler, our visual-spatial learner who remembers everything he sees, our computer-techie kid who can talk Raspberry Pi and Arduino with the best of 'em, our super-sensitive teenager whose last year in public school turned his life upside down. I always said I would never homeschool high school, but you know that cliché, "never say never"? Yep, that one. So, okay, I really get that now.
Yes, I am homeschooling my teenage son who…
- is smarter than me
- lives and breathes all things computer techy and program-y, which is all way over my head and miles past where I stand
- is a visual-spatial learner who needs to "see" what he is learning, not listen to or read his education.
- hates school because it has proven to him to be boring, pointless, repetitive, restrictive and traumatic
- is smarter than me (again, for emphasis)
And now, I think we see the light at the end of the tunnel.
My son's last year in school before we pulled him out to homeschool him was traumatic, but the extent of the educational and emotional effects from this experience still haunt him – the loss of his self-confidence, his disinterest in schoolwork and the disappearance of his previous enthusiastic zeal for learning. A few weeks ago, I really thought that it would be just about impossible for him to regain his love of learning, but…
I was wrong! His love of learning is not completely gone; it has been significantly dimmed, but the other day, I witnessed a glimmer of a spark! That spark that changes everything! I saw my first glimpse of that spark and now I am like, "all hands on deck" to make sure we stoke that spark until it becomes a flame again! However, it will be a slow process, and it will be one small step at a time.
Nope, his love of learning was not totally gone, but what is gone is his love of "school". And we can live with that because my son had figured out long before I did that the way traditional schools teach did not always result in learning – purposeful, useful and meaningful learning. For my gifted son, traditional school meant sitting in a regular classroom full of skill & drill, rote memorization, fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, read-and-answer-the-questions, show your work, tests, standardized testing, grade-level work, rubrics, tons of worksheets, and grades. Traditional school's seemingly endless "filling of a pail" approach to learning extinguished my son's burning desire for knowledge – meaningful, purposeful and useful knowledge. Being misunderstood and bullied by his teachers dimmed his flame until it was a nearly-extinguished ember in danger of dying out completely.
But we are fervently fanning that one little critical ember! Imagine if you will Les Stroud of Survivorman fame in the middle of the frozen tundra of the Yukon working frantically to ignite a life-saving fire from a single, small, burning blade of dried grass ignited by his last, wet match – yep, that is how we feel – Survivormanish.
I caught a glimpse of that spark just last week when my son and I went out for our weekly lunch date. Lunch regularly plays out with him sitting across from me holding his phone in one hand while one ear is hooked up to the phone via one-half of his ever-present earbuds. Most often both earbuds are in, but my rule is one-ear, one-bud during lunch! But, this time was different – no earbuds, zero ears plugged in.
And we talked.
Really, he talked and I listened. He talked and talked. And he talked. His topic of concern was ancient history and how our lives would be affected today had the Ancient Greeks not had their unbelievable technology destroyed when the Ancient Romans conquered the Ancient Greek civilization. He wondered how the timing of the Industrial Revolution would have been affected had the Ancient Greeks' inventions, knowledge and technology, which was so ahead of its time, survived the Roman conquest. What if the Industrial Revolution had occurred many, many years earlier as a result of Ancient Greek technology surviving? How far ahead would we be today, he mused?
That was it! I saw it! I spotted the spark right then and there! I immediately began to fan that little spark with questions and more ideas for him to ponder further, so afraid that if I stopped asking questions, the spark would disappear.
The spark that changed everything. And now, everyday we fan the spark just a little. Too much and we could blow it out.
Everyday, step by step, little by little, we fan the spark by asking thought-provoking questions needing his valued opinion, by giving small, easily-managed assignments or tasks in which he will feel successful, and by providing judicious amounts of well-deserved praise for his efforts to overcome. And everyday, the spark seems to burn a little brighter. Of course, we have a few, occasional disheartening days where the spark is a bit dimmer, but we also have days where that spark is glowing and it shines hope on us all.
Little victories. Small steps. Giving it time. As long as we have that spark. The spark that changes everything.

Yay for the Spark! There's nothing better than seeing that twinkle
It is so good to see that spark, Celi! Wishing you both all the very best as you continue to keep the spark burning and watch it glow brightly!
Oh wow! I got the tinglies reading this! I felt such a longing to hug you when I read your post about your son's love of learning being gone. Now I want to hug you for totally different reasons. Thank you for sharing.
Yay for homeschooling and the ability to NOT be school! Have fun building that fire – I'm sure one day you'll have a roaring blaze!
Please move next door. Our very similar techy sons can start something in a garage that will change the world and then put us in the good nursing home because by god we will have earned it. 😉 They can spark each other.
I would never home school either of my two gifted children. Because I am one of the very fortunate. I live in a suburb of Detroit and that enabled me to send both of my children to George and Anna Marie Roeper's Roeper School for gifted children. My son suffered severe ADHD. In 3rd grade he could no longer keep up with school. At our insistance when he ran into a hostile teacher the school tested him and we sought a child psychiatrist's opinion. The findings were severe ADHD and an IQ they stopped testing at 190 because they didn't know what the actual number would be but they knew the answer. It turned out his attention span was about 20 seconds. The public school system's prounouncement: "he will get C's by osmosis and that is all we are required by state law." We sought and found a school that specialized in the issue. It was not the button downed white shirt and tie experience we expected of a private school. It catered to the needs of the children, not impressing the parents.
Our daughter was little miss perfect in school. A year older, top of her class, excelled in everything, in the school system's gifted child program. Two years after my son was removed from the public schools and enrolled at Roeper, the teacher of the gifted program went hostile on her because a she created a solution to a science project he had not thought about and was felt she was just trying to be fancy. NASA several years later used her original solution to land a space probe. Her IQ is no where near our son's, but she knows how to do school. Today she is a professor of Nuclear engineering at a Big Ten University.
My point is, and I know you may disagree, and knowing my conclusion is not going to be workable but in rare communities, I don't think gifted children's needs can be handled in the public school setting. I think it has to go outside it. You are very fortunate to have been trained so that you can homeschool a gifted child, but most cannot. i think you have painted a very generous picture of gifted children. In attending very frequent parent teacher meetings from 4th grade thru 12th and listening to an entire school of parents and teacher of gifted children, my perspective is that they are usually gifted in one or two areas and downright stupid in others. My son is gifted in computers, but in school could not add his way out of a hat box if he had to add 2 plus 2! Some children could write the great american novel in 6th grade, and not be able to color within the lines in 9th grade. The narrow range of their extreme intelligences was incredible. Then along comes my daughter with one of the lowest IQ's in the school, though still in societies range for giftedness and she blows everyone's marks away cause she knows how to do school!
How do you give children like this the time they need though in a public school setting? They need more attention in the gifted areas to keep from getting bored and turning off (the biggest fear of a teacher at Roeper School) and then the added attention they need in areas they just are not able to do! To do that in today's world of constricting school budgets is just not going to happen. Here we had access to the Roeper school. It required a minimum of 4 hours of driving each day between my wife and myself to get them to and from school. And that does not count the trips for after school activities like plays, sports, music concerts, etc.
The Roepers were two of the pioneers in gifted child education. The Roeper school is a private school, and that leads to expense and not a situation that can be done everywhere. I would never home school one of my two gifted children… but ONLY because I did not have to.
PS. Both my wife and I are gifted as well. Neither of us knew it until we were exposed to The Roeper School and learned over the years what that meant. My wife did not suffer so much being in private parochial schools. I was in public schools and my social, emotional, and scholastic life suffered dramatically for it. My wife and I both hold doctorates in unrelated fields.
Celi, your story outlines the struggles of so many. I don't know any one where I live who is going through what we are with our son at 7 1/2 years old so it is wonderful to read your story. It is very similar to yours. We started homeschooling this year as the public school system did not work, and he was called names, not helped with extension or sensitivities or over-excitabilities, instead punished for things he could not help. He became suicidal. We pulled him out of school, and slowly, slowly he is coming back to us. So many people say "How can you home-school? It would drive me insane?" I say, what is the alternative? I actually see this turn of events as a gift. We have our son. Anything after that is a bonus. He has gone from a sad, withdrawn, moody boy not interested in learning much, to an excited boy, eagerly making flying creations, doing experiments and designing high flying architectural projects. He is happy, laughing again and I see how important pulling him out was. I thought it would be for a year, but reading your post, I don't see how he could go back into that system, even at another , supposedly better school. I've seen what can happen when a child is mistreated and misunderstood at school. I'm just grateful he is here, and I able to teach him. Best of luck in continuing to nurture your spark. Your son is so lucky to have you.
Celi, I found your website while frantically searching the web for any information on how to help my gifted visual spatial learner survive in our highly competitive public high school. My son is currently a freshman and while surviving, everyday I see little pieces of his confidence and self esteem being chipped away because school is such a mismatch for his learning style. He knows he's intelligent yet continues to struggle with school so much more than his friends. Even as freshman all the talk is about GPA and standardized test scores. He very well should have been homeschooled years ago but I never explored that option. My son However, enjoys the social aspects of school, has lots of friends and is involved in sports But I worry that pushing him through this HS will not best serve him in the long run. I see his spirit crushed when he doesn't do well on assignments. He constantly struggles to stay organized. I know he doesn't feel "gifted" at all. While I read your site, I started to cry; my son is suffering just as yours did. I don't even know where to begin to help him, but my first thought was to find someone else who is/has gong through this too. Where do I begin? How can I build his confidence and salvage his love of learning? Thank you for putting your story out there.
I know not everyone has the luxury to homeschool, but I know my parents never considered it for me. It took me about 6 years of unschooling after school to realize how much I actually liked learning. School is not a problem by itself, but I think the system can often destroy our kids if they don't fit in. My wife and I pulled our girls out of school a year ago and it's been possibly the best decision we ever made (other than possibly getting married and having children). We worried about socialization before making the move, now I think they get more social time than before and it's natural. They talk to kids of any age and adults just as easily as kids their own age. Their friends share interests rather than birth year.
You can also still join in public school sports. Homeschooling is an independent school within the district you are registered and still have the right to participate in the extra curricular activities of your local school(s). Our are has an incredible homeschooling group who support one another well. I didn't even know one existed until shortly before pulling our girls.
…So, if you're worried about socializing issues or him not being eligible for school sports, I think it's a non-issue.
I feel we are raising the same child except mine is a girl. which for some reason makes it more "weird" I have my bags packed and we are waiting for ground breaking on Gifted oaks. haha we have the same lunch date. every week also. ever find yourself 5 minutes into a conversation and then realize she has her ear buds in and can't hear a word I am saying. but maybe that's just 15 and nothing to do with gifted lol. I feel I am at an invisible barrier here with teen she is SO "OVER "SCHOOL I mean stick a fork in me I 'm done kind of done. even though we managed to get through 8th grade homeschooling it was a daiky struggle not stuggle is too mild of a word. it was a full on war. she loves photography and art although she does great work she feels she is lousy at both. she hold back so much that her work is often awkward and messy because she doesn't let her self go and [our herself into work she doesn't put the feeling she has into her paintings and photography, like in life she is afraid to let it all go for fear it wont be good. every one expects everything she does to be great. so when she does something that is just good. people are "disappointed in her work" I think she does it subconsciously,
its not really good because i made it not really good on purpose so she can say to herself I didn't really try so its ok if they don't like it. but if she really gave her all and they didn't like it she would have no buffer so to speak to cushion her.and for what ever reasons she has huge fears of not measuring up. not being good enough. it has to be perfect and i am not sure i can make it perfect so i wont try. does any of this make sense? I am just kind of lost at this point we have taken june off from "school" we do a year round kind of school since she has good days and bad. so it gives leway for more days in off in the year than 3 weeks here and 3 months there it works better for us to put 180 days in to a full year than 9 months. anyway I am at a loss as to how to find the "Spark" and kindle it I am so very worried about blowing that final spark out from blowing too hard. How can I turn the things she loves into teaching tools and let her know that average is ok and everything doesn't have to be extraordinary. I know that seems strange since most people push there kids for excellence and extraordinary results. I just want my child to be comfortable in her own skin. and that in itself is a an extraordinary wish . any suggestions? I just want to find her love of learning that she had when she was younger. middle school has proven to be not only counterproductive but destructive for my child. before you commentators start sending me hate mail i am not knocking schools or teachers it just didn't work for my child and the schools and teachers were not equipped with the tools necessary for my child to thrive. I dont think she should get special treatment just different. not all people learn the same and I feel that If students don't learn the way we teach , then maybe we should teach the way they learn. even if "that's not the way things are done around here" "we cant cater our teaching styles to every child" why cant we? you cant put a square peg in a round hole you can't teach a deaf person to sing like a hearing person and then criticize him because he is off key. why do we force children to fit into the core and if your outside it top or bottom doesn't matter your damaged good. ok enough ranting, I am seriously looking for answers for my child. if you have any input I am all ears thanks so much for sharing your experiences
Please forgive the Grammar and typing errors. I was particularly frustrated and it was spewing faster than I could type but I hope you can get the gist of my dilemma

120 Players You Need To
Arizona State DE Lawrence Guy
Richard Cirminiello
Who is Lawrence Guy?
…It only took a month or two for Guy to show
the Arizona State coaching staff that he was worth all of those
recruiting hours it'd spent to land him. Despite being just 18 years
old and learning on the fly, he was too talented to keep off the
field, quickly working his way into the lineup and earning consensus
Freshman All-American recognition as a top defensive end. A scary
blend of power and quickness in a 6-5, 275-pound frame, he was
living in opposing backfields by the second half of the season. The
rare gem to come out of Las Vegas, he goes full bore on every down
and has a motor that never quits. And he's only going to get better
as he improves his strength in the weight room and gets more reps
against quality competition. Was it really just a handful of years
ago that Guy was an awkward kid struggling to fit in? Once the light
went on and he started to fill out around the ninth grade, things
would never be the same for the kid who's about to blossom into one
of the Pac-10's brightest young stars.
best game so far was … UCLA last
Nov. 28. By this time of the season, it was obvious that Guy was a
true freshman in class only. In terms of impact, he was already a
second-year player. He routinely frustrated an overmatched Bruin
line, getting in on five tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and a sack
in a 34-9 victory.
Why you
should care about Guy? … He's one of
the budding defensive superstars in the Pac-10 and already looking
like one of those blue-chippers who'll meet expectations. The best
thing about Guy is that his upside is enormous, particularly after
playing so well in his first season removed from high school. If he
makes even modest progress from his 2008, the Sun Devils will have a
fixture on the all-league team for the next three years.
Positives about Guy
…When a lineman the size of Guy has light feet and moves really
well, he has the makings of a very special player. At 6-5 and 275
pounds, he can handle himself inside, yet has the speed and lateral
quickness to wreak havoc like a strongside end. While still somewhat
raw, he has the frame and athleticism to command double-teams as
early as this fall.
Negatives about Guy … With Guy, he
has the frame and athletic ability to be a three-down player. Now,
he just needs to work on his technique and his pass rushing moves.
Playing in Las Vegas, he was able to dominate on his size and
quickness alone, but in the Pac-10, he'll have to continue improving
the finer points of his game.
A cool thing about Guy you probably didn't know
… Guy has a chance to become an inspiration and a role model for
every kid who was told he'd never amount to much. A chubby kid with
ADHD and self-esteem problems when he was growing up, he was about
the last eight or nine-year old that anyone expected to blossom into
an elite athlete. A kinetic learner, he needs to touch something to
truly grasp its concept.
Career Statistics
2007: Still in high school
2008: 44 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and two

The conveyor system (not included into the scope of supply) transports the complete wheels into the matching station. It is important to point out that the impeccable mounting of the tire on the rim is a premise for the process to follow. A tire which is not perfectly mounted on the rim leads to a machine stop. A mismatch, that means that wheel and tire do not correspond to the type number, can damage the device. The complete wheel is transported to the clamping device. The clamping device is lifted and takes over the wheel. A centring pin corrects the possible position deviations when leading it through the centre bore of the wheel. The clamping is done by spreading the segments of a clamping ring. "Patented with EP 1 564 028 B1" Firma Schedl Automotive System Service GmbH & Co.KG
Operational sequence
The wheels are arriving from the assembly station and are transferred into the matching machine. The wheel data transferred to the matching station PLC are responsible for the correct adjustment of the machine and the matching tools.
The matching dots are now identified by a camera system and the angle between the dots calculated. The difference angle is transferred to the PLC of the matching machine.
The upper and lower module of the matching machine is now moved into the origin position.
When the test is OK the adapter unclamps the wheel and the wheel is automatically transferred into the next machine or station.
If the dots are out of tolerance, the steps 7-10 will be repeated.
Scope of supply:Mechanical components:
Infeed belt splitted, with gear drive The belt in the frame system consists of 3 single components.It is pneumatically lifted.
Clamping mandrel, servo drive for lifting and lowering

Creating custom text effects in GIMP
GIMP offers plenty of options for creating custom text effects. We'll show you how to sweeten your text with bold outlines, tasty color, 3D effects, curves, and more.
Well-styled text adds some extra flash and brings out the character of any design. GIMP offers many creative possibilities to style and manipulate text. In this article, I examine a few of the options for creating attractive text effects.
The examples here use the GIMP 2.4 pre-release, but by the time this issue reaches print, GIMP 2.4 will be out and ported to all Linux distributions. Some of the features discussed here are available
only in GIMP 2.4. Also, the menu structure of GIMP 2.4 is very different from GIMP 2.2x, so you'll have an easier time following the discussion if you're using the latest version.

All Flesh is Grassby Clifford D. Simak
The strange but beautiful purple blossoms now grew wild in his backyard. One day Brad Carter tripped and fell into an alternate world, a world peopled by these very flowers.
All the Traps of Earthby Clifford D. Simak
Robots, strange planets with creatures that aren't quite vegetables or mammals, aliens that steal childhood laughter... these are the subjects of the yarns Clifford D. Simak spins in this book containing a selection of his short stories.
A Choice of Godsby Clifford D. Simak
One day they were there, the next they were gone--all but a small tribe of American Indians, a family and friends gathered for a party, and the ubiquitous robots. Whatever mysterious power it was that had snatched up eight billion human souls and spirited them away had overlooked very few. Deprived of a labor force, technology disintegrated. The Indians went back to nature, the others ... something very strange happened to them. In exchange for the overpowering presence of the vanished hordes, they acquired mental powers beyond imagining which whisked them through the stars, extraordinary longevity, and a painfully garnered wisdom. As for the robots, some went to live with the remnants of humanity, though the Indians forthrightly rejected their services; others gathered into a robot community and commenced work on the Project, a work baffling to human understanding, but in all its fantastic electronic complexity an apotheosis of robotry; still others, a very few, stubbornly maintained the old religion and lived as monks, worshiping they knew not what by who knows what right. Then one day a traveler returned from the stars. The people had been found and were planning to return. More important and more dreadful, a Principle had been discovered in the center of the Galaxy, a disembodied intelligence of awesome capacity and godlike indifference. The idyllic existence of the last of Earth's humans was threatened. The carefully composed elegy to mankind was under siege.
Cityby Clifford D. Simak
The years had moved too fast. Years that had brought the family plane and helicopter, leaving the auto to rust in some forgotten place, the unused roads to fall into disrepair. Years that had virtually wiped out the tilling of the soil with the rise of hydroponics. Years that had brought cheap land with the disappearance of the farm as an economic unit, had sent city people scurrying out into the country where each man, for less than the price of a city lot, might own broad acres. Years that had revolutionized the construction of homes to a point where families simply walked away from their old homes to the new ones that could be bought, custom-made, for less than half the price of a prewar structure and could be changed, at small cost, to accommodate need of additional space or just a passing whim .... *** Earth was very different without its cities. There were no more wars, because the population centers which had formerly been prime targets no longer existed. Among the people who left the cities and their descendants, some took to the stars and met beings from other worlds; some took to the woods, and let their primitive lifestyle carry them further and further from the basic design of society. And some simply remained on the land their families originally bought, growing ever more deeply ensconced in those pockets of tradition. *** It was Bruce Webster, from the pocket known as Webster House, who first changed the dogs. Recognizing that the differences between humans and canines might be an advantage--dogs, with their own brand of intelligence, would be able to comprehend things people could not--he reasoned that two thinking races would have to be better than one. So he surgically altered a few dogs' throats and tongues, enabling them to mimic the words he taught them. Special contact lenses were invented, changing canine eyesight enough to allow them to learn to read. As time went on, the traits Bruce initiated were passed on to each successive generation of dogs. And as the Dogs developed and advanced--aided by robots that humans had built ages ago--Man ceased to be the dominant species on Earth and became a creature of legend. A legend the Dogs still tell on winter nights, when the wind is from the north and the fires burn high ....

And aiding Dunan: a girl with the blood of enchanters in her veins who was mounted on an ancient griffin.
The Goblin Reservationby Clifford D. Simak
Professor Peter Maxwell is in desperate straits. En route to an interplanetary research mission, he was snatched by a strange, shadowy race to a previously uncharted planet. Ancient beyond comprehension, this planet is a storehouse of information that would be invaluable to the people of Earth-even an Earth so far advanced that perfected time travel allows goblins, dinosaurs, ghosts, even Shakespeare to coexist. His attempts to interest the rulers of Earth are thwarted, however, by a startling discovery- Maxwell was ingeniously duplicated. The "other" him came back before he did, and soon after was "accidentally" killed. Now no one will believe the original Maxwell really exists...
A Heritage of Starsby Clifford D. Simak
An adventure of the Far Future by Grand Master of Science Fiction Clifford D. Simak While Earth sleeps her thousand years, the City looks starward . . . It was a city on a high rock in a vast plain--on a planet whose glory was long forgotten. The gaunt "wardens" which roamed the prairie called it Thunder, and feared it well. But Cushing, who had read of it in the Story, who had crossed an empty continent to find it, knew it by another name: the Place of Going to the Stars.

Asa Steele is unprepared for the incredible events that begin to unfold when Rila Elliot--a woman he loved two decades before--steps out of the past and his faithful dog Bowser starts loping into it through time trails he's discovered in his own backyard. Rila's appearance is mere coincidence, but Bowser's retrieval of fresh dinosaur bones is as inexplicable as is the curious crater in Asa's backyard that seems to have been made by a spaceship from the stars. And that's only the beginning. Soon Asa himself trips in time, led into prehistoric eras by an enigmatic cat-faced creature. Unable to communicate with his alien guide except through a local simpleton named Hiram, Asa attempts to understand the meaning and the purpose of these time trails. Meanwhile, Rila, always looking toward the future, arranges to turn them into one of the biggest money-making travel ventures of all time. In short order, the time trails in the quiet town of Willow Bend become the focus of global attention, government scrutiny and the target for an unprecedented solution to overpopulation. But from the moment the first modern men begin trekking back in time, there's more danger, excitement and trouble than any of them would ever have bargained for.
Our Children's Childrenby Clifford D. Simak
The entire earth's population from 500 years in the future begins immigrating back in time to the 1980s to flee ferocious alien monsters that thrive on hunting humans. The problem is: they've brought the aliens back in time with them...

He could try... but would he come out again...?
The Visitorsby Clifford D. Simak
A CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE MOST AMAZING KIND ... Some of them, having set down, stayed where they were. Some, after a time, floated into the air and set about their observations. They cruised back and forth over industrial plants, they circled and recircled cities, they made sweeps of vast stretches of farmlands. Others sought out forests and settled down to eat. They gobbled up a number of lumberyards. In the St. Louis area, three of them landed in a parking lot, ate a dozen or so cars and then took off. They did little actual harm. Most people with whom they came in contact were only marginally inconvenienced; no one was killed. The highway accidents, few of them more than fender-benders, fell off as motorists became accustomed to the sight of the great black boxes floating in the sky, coming at last to pay but slight attention to them. The visitors qualified as first-class nuisances ... It looked like a big black box--perhaps fifty feet high, two hundred long. And it had settled squarely on forestry student Jerry Conklin's car, parked next to a fishing stream outside Lone Pine, Minnesota. The townspeople of Lone Pine were the first to see it--and one of them was the first and only human to shoot at it. He paid for his rashness with instant death. Within hours the press, the government and the public knew something strange had happened in Lone Pine and were beginning to face the incredible possibility that Earth now harbored something from outer space. A machine? An intelligent being? There was no way to know. But Jerry Conklin knew. The visitor had scooped him up, held him prisoner for hours, then let him go--and he had sensed its thoughts and feelings. Jerry knew the visitor was a living, intelligent creature. Then more of the giant black boxes descended to Earth, almost all in the United States. And they began eating ... and reproducing. The visitors seemed harmless if left alone, but their powers of defense, and their very existence, threatened world stability. The public, the nation's allies--and its enemies--demanded more information. But there was none. Then Jerry followed up on a rumor and made one more discovery. The visitors were paying for their food and lodging with fantastic gifts. And that payment could destroy Earth's civilization. In The Visitors Clifford Simak presents one of the most original concepts of alien contact yet in this multilevel novel of human intelligence and emotion in a close encounter with truly non-human beings!
The Way Stationby Clifford D. Simak
HE WAS THE KEEPER OF INTERGALACTIC WAY STATION 18327 ... and he had one goal: To prepare Earth to join the other races of the universe. The alien planets had many things that Earth lacked: eternal peace and prosperity, advanced knowledge of the sciences and arts. And they were willing to share their benefits--provided that Earth showed signs of being civilized. As the only Earthman in touch with the universe, the keeper of Way Station 18327 was beginning to hope that his fellow men might prove worthy. Then his plans started to go wrong--beginning with a grave robbery and a kidnapping, and ending on the night when an ignorant, howling mob tried to penetrate the innermost secrets of the way station.

Pregnant women are either too worried about gaining a lot of weight or else they feel they are underweight. One has to understand that the quality of the food is what plays a significant role, rather than the quantity. Just because you are pregnant you do not need to consume extra calories until your second trimester. "The caloric requirement of pregnancy increases by only about 300 calories," says Lisa Zaffner, nutritionist and director of operations at Healing Quest Center in Chicago. So, 'eating smart' should be your mantra. Have foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients.

Ormiston Gorge Camp Sight: Sleep under the stars
Stayed here- 27th May 2006.
We just chose this as it was close to where we where when it got dark.
There's an honesy box to pay at (AU$6.50pp). Has very hard, rocky ground to put up your tent in.
There's toilets, a seperate washing-up sink (cold water), picknick tables and free bbq's that take a special technique to light.
The night sky is amazing here, so many stars to look at, and such clear skies. We only heard the dingos but they do come into camp sometimes to feed on the scraps, there's a lot of signs telling people to keep the place clean.
We had an interesting evening here, being nosy watching a couple putting up what can be described as a home away from home, they even had glass wine glasses, china plates a washing-up bowl and were complaining about no hot water in the sinks! Don't quite get the point of people like this camping, it's not really gettign away from it all is it?
In the heart of the West MacDonnell Ranges, with lots of walks close by. At the sight itself is the Pound Walk, which we did and it was fantastic, a long walk but well worth it, you go through all the gorges, past the hills, saw some rock wallabies, by some pools.
This walk would definatley be closed in the wet season, but there was an information centre nearby and they have all the information on the conditions.

Shelby Countian Mike Casey continues his touch-and-go battle to stay alive at Vanderbilt Medical Center.
Casey, who starred on the basketball court for both Shelby County High School and the University of Kentucky, continues on a respirator as doctors try to rid his body of infection and prepare him for the heart transplant he requires to survive.
Mike Casey, one of Shelby County's sports heroes, continues his agonizing fight to recover from a series of ailments related to a failing heart.
Casey has been in intensive care at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville for two weeks since doctors installed a bilateral pump to assist his heart, which was damaged by infection 20 years ago.
His battle has been touch-and-go, with infection raging in his body, blockages and shutdowns of organs and the breathing assistance of a ventilator.
Visiting Male took advantage of five errors and a balk by SCHS on Monday and spoiled the Rockets' season-opener, 6-2.
However, SCHS Coach Bart Roettger didn't force the Rockets to run after the defeat. Instead, he noted several positives despite the outcome.
Several years ago, the following letter was reportedly sent to a resident of Greenville County, S.C.: "Your food stamps will be stopped, effective March 1992, because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if your circumstances change."
The Simpsonville City Commission on Tuesday passed on second reading an ordinance that will require property owners to repair broken sidewalks or assume the liability those cracks and crevices could cause. There never had been an ordinance to address this issue, and the city feared that it could be liable for any injuries caused by breaches in those areas. What it means
If you own property that has sidewalks around it that have breaks, cracks or drop-offs that could cause an accident, the city could require you to have it repaired.
Shelby County Grand Jury Indictments
Christina R. Bracey of Shelbyville was indicted for first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (cocaine), complicity, illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia, complicity, trafficking in marijuana, complicity, second-degree illegal possession of a controlled substance (hydrocodone), and second-degree persistent felony offender.
Crime Stoppers is asking for help in solving two vandalism-type crimes that happened last week.
The first occurred between 11 p.m on Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday in the 40 block of Plantation Drive.
In that incident, someone used white spray paint to write offensive words and symbols on a brick house.
Shelby County Fiscal Court on Tuesday night passed a resolution backing the Shelbyville Municipal Water and Sewer Commission's plan to bring sewers to 75 lots in the Ardmore/Arlington Lane areas.
The project is part of the commission's sewer expansion, which will serve the new schools being built in the area as well as new residential and commercial development. The total cost of the project is $1.6 million.
Mother Nature and her spring cold snap whipped Shelby County on Monday and Tuesday, as the Rockets were forced to cancel games.
But the weather was so nice on Saturday the Rockets got to play two.
Shelby came out hot in the morning, whipping Bishop Brossart (4-3), 10-3, but a long afternoon layoff wore the Rockets down, allowing Scott High (3-3) to battle back and win the nightcap, 7-6.
About five years ago, Karen and the late Ed Frickey decided to move their 40-head Saddlebred and hackney pony operation from Lafayette, Ind., to Harrington Mill Road in Shelby County.

TORONTO - When Adrien Brody was faced with recreating one of Houdini's most ambitious stunts — freeing himself from a water torture chamber — the actor found there wasn't much room for error.
"You're in this confined space with additional pressure because it's a very narrow chamber and you're submerged upside down and bolted in. So turning around even to figure out how to get out — it's very disorienting," he said of his first day on the set of the History miniseries "Houdini." "And it was very challenging."
This was just one of the ways the legendary escape artist kept his audience spellbound, along with wrangling himself out of a straitjacket while attached to a pole upside down off a building, breaking out of a prison cell and picking a lock to release himself from a bank safe. Practising breathing underwater, hanging from cranes and being shackled in chains in preparation to play the illusionist shed light on the "sheer pain" Houdini endured, said Brody.
"The amount of chains and locks in which he had to be enshrouded with leaves you bruised and aching," he said. "All the physical aspects were much more painful and challenging than I had anticipated — and that's only just a fragment of what he was going through."
Brody — known for his Oscar-winning role in "The Pianist" — had to be in top physical form to shoot the miniseries, but he credits both Houdini's physical and mental capabilities for what he was able to accomplish as a performer.
"He had the most relentless personality and he overcame tremendous failure as well and hardship," the 41-year-old actor said from Los Angeles.
Born Ehrich Weiss in 1874, he took the name Harry Houdini as a tribute to the French magician Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin. His family moved to Appleton, Wis., from Budapest, Hungary, when he was a toddler, his father securing work as a rabbi. Growing up in poverty, Houdini took odd jobs like shoe-shining as a child to help support the family and at 17 began his career as a magician. Shortly afterward he married Wilhelmina Beatrice Rahner — known on stage as his assistant Bess — played by "House of Cards" actress Kristen Connolly in the miniseries.
"What he overcame, being an impoverished Jew in the time of greater anti-Semitism and Eastern European coming to the United States to become the most revered, iconic American performer and what he represented for America is the epitome of American success story," said Brody.
"All of his difficulties and flaws and drive and obsessions made him that person. And those aren't all perfect, great qualities, but they speak to someone that at the end of the day, is remarkable and has left that impact on me and so many people in this world."
Brody was fascinated by Houdini early in his life, inspiring his own act as a child magician, the Amazing Adrien. "My whole journey into acting actually began from an infatuation with magic and illusion," said Brody.
Houdini not only knew how to engage audiences as a performer, but he also knew how to keep them coming back. Today, he would have been an Internet sensation, said Brody.
"He was probably the first one to understand viral marketing," he said.
Houdini scouted his stunt locations strategically. His straitjacket act is a prime example — he would perform hanging off buildings that housed newspapers, including the Vancouver Sun building in 1923.
He also cultivated his talents beyond creating illusions. He was the first pilot to fly over Australia in 1910, he started his own film company and, adding to his mystique, was rumoured to be a spy for the American government.
"From what I'm aware of, that relationship existed. Obviously certain details are not disclosed, so our writer had a bit of creative licence with that," said Brody. "I mean, it's a movie in and of itself — the idea of a famous showman becoming a spy."
Movies are where Brody has spent most of his career, with roles spanning a villainous heir in "The Grant Budapest Hotel," a substitute teacher in "Detachment" and a punk rocker in "Summer of Sam." Although the TV miniseries gave him the chance to delve into Houdini's life over four hours — a time span that film doesn't allow — playing a regular on a TV series doesn't interest Brody.
"There are so many interesting characters that I want to play and there's only so much time that I have to do that," he said.
"Houdini" airs on the History Channel Monday and Tuesday.

A rural Bellevue man entered a "not guilty" plea to one count each of burglary and theft of credit cards Monday.
Adam T. Godfrey, 24, of 8609 County Road 29, is out, having posted a $10,000 bond with a 10-percent provision. The case originally went through Bellevue Municipal Court.
Godfrey is prohibited from having any contact with the female victim.
His Huron County Common Pleas Court trial is scheduled for Feb. 26. If convicted of both felonies, Godfrey faces up to 9 1/2 years in prison and a maximum fine of $26,000.
Godfrey has a pending case in Richland County.
"His case isn't quite resolved in Richland County," Huron County Public Defender David Longo said Monday.

Contingency contracting a slowly turning tide, budget shows
The State Department's share of overseas contingency contracting has grown over the last few years as the department took on new activities and functions as the military departed Iraq. Still, the budget shows, the Defense Department is the main player in overseas contingency contracting. And there's no guarantee Congress won't turn to the foreign affairs budget in its efforts to dramatically reduce the deficit.

Waste, fraud in Iraq put all eyes on DoD contracting
When the Defense Department began contingency contracting operations on a large-scale in Iraq in 2003 it was largely a trial by fire. Despite the best planning, DoD lacked the programs and practical solutions to handle the environment, officials say. Since then, commissions, panels and lawmakers have offered fixes and DoD has evolved to try to create "rock-solid" reforms. Federal News Radio examines these issues in the next part of our series, Inside the World's Biggest Buyer.
