The Diary of a Young Girl is a book based on the extracts from a diary written by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944 and Anne Frank ultimately died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. After the war, the diary was retrieved by Anne's father, Otto Frank.
First published under the title Het Achterhuis: Dagboekbrieven van 12 Juni 1942 – 1 Augustus 1944 (The Annex: diary notes from 12 June 1942 – 1 August 1944) by Contact Publishing in Amsterdam in 1947, it received widespread critical and popular attention on the appearance of its English language translation Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Doubleday & Company (United States) and Vallentine Mitchell (United Kingdom) in 1952. Its popularity inspired the 1955 play The Diary of Anne Frank by the screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, which they subsequently adapted for the screen for the 1959 movie version. In 2005, a full-length choral work based on the diary called Annelies was produced. The book is now considered one of the key texts of the twentieth century.
In manuscript, Anne's original diaries are written over three extant volumes. The first covers the period between June 12, 1942 and December 5, 1942 but since the second volume begins on December 22, 1943 and ends on April 17, 1944 we can assume that the original volume or volumes between December 1942 and December 1943 were lost - presumably after the arrest when the hiding place was emptied on Nazi instructions. However, this missing period is covered in the version Anne rewrote for preservation. The third existing notebook contains entries from April 17, 1944 to August 1, 1944, when Anne wrote for the last time before her arrest.
In the original notebook her diary entries follow a standard for the first three months until September 28, 1942 when she began addressing her entries to characters from Cissy van Marxveldt's Joop ter Heul novels. In van Marxveldt's books the headstrong Joop also keeps a diary and writes to her group of friends about her calamities and loves. Anne adopted the group and addressed her diary entries to Joop's friends 'Kitty', 'Conny', 'Emmy', 'Pop', and 'Marianne' until November of that year, when the first notebook ends. By the time she started the second existing volume, there was only one imaginary friend she was writing to: Kitty, and in her later re-writes, Anne changed the address of all the diary entries to "Kitty".
There has been much conjecture about the identity or inspiration of Kitty, who in Anne's revised manuscript is the sole recipient of her letters. In 1986 the critic Sietse van der Hoek wrote that the name referred to Kitty Egyedi, a prewar friend of Frank's. Van der Hoek may have been informed by the 1970 publication 'A Tribute to Anne Frank', prepared by the Anne Frank Foundation, which assumed a factual basis for the character in its preface by the then chairman of the Foundation, Henri van Praag, and accentuated this with the inclusion of a group photograph that singles out Anne, Sanne Ledermann, Hanneli Goslar, and Kitty Egyedi. Anne does not mention Kitty Egyedi in any of her writings (in fact, the only other girl mentioned in her diary from the often reproduced photo, other than Goslar and Ledermann, is Mary Bos, whose drawings Anne dreamed about in 1944) and the only comparable example of Anne writing unposted letters to a real friend are two farewell letters to Jacqueline van Maarsen from September 1942.
Theodor Holman wrote in reply to Sietse van der Hoek that the diary entry for September 28, 1942 proved conclusively the character's fictional origin. Jacqueline van Maarsen agreed but Otto Frank assumed his daughter had her real acquaintance in mind when she wrote to someone of the same name. However, Kitty Egyedi said in an interview that she was flattered by the assumption but doubted the diary was addressed to her:
Anne had expressed the desire in the re-written introduction of her diary for one person that she could call her truest friend, that is, a person to whom she could confide her deepest thoughts and feelings. She observed that she had many "friends", and equally many admirers, but (by her own definition) no true, dear friend with whom she could share her innermost thoughts. She originally thought her girlfriend Jacque van Maarsen would be this person, but that was only partially successful. In an early diary passage, she remarks that she is not in love with Helmut "Hello" Silberberg, her suitor at that time, but considered that he might become a true friend. In hiding, she invested much time and effort into her budding romance with Peter van Pels, thinking he might evolve into that one, true friend, but that was eventually a disappointment to her in some ways, also, though she still cared for him very much. Ultimately, the closest friend Anne had during her tragically short life was her diary, "Kitty", for it was only to "Kitty" that she entrusted her innermost thoughts.
Frank's already budding literary ambitions were galvanized on March 29, 1944 when she heard a broadcast made by the exiled Dutch Minister for Education, Art and Science, Gerrit Bolkestein, calling for the preservation of "ordinary documents—a diary, letters ... simple everyday material" to create an archive for posterity as testimony to the suffering of civilians during the Nazi occupation, and on May 20 notes that she has started re-drafting her diary with future readers in mind. She expanded entries and standardized them by addressing all of them to Kitty, clarified situations, prepared a list of pseudonyms and cut scenes she thought of little interest or too intimate for general consumption. This manuscript, written on loose sheets of paper, was retrieved from the hiding place after the arrest and given to Otto Frank with the original notebooks when his daughter's death was confirmed in the autumn of 1945. Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl had rescued them along with other personal possessions after the family's arrest and before their rooms were ransacked by the Dutch police and the Gestapo.
When Otto Frank eventually began to read his daughter's diary, he was astonished. He said to Miep Gies, "I never knew my little Anne was so deep." He also remarked that the clarity with which Anne had described many everyday situations brought those since-forgotten moments back to him vividly.
This caught the interest of Contact Publishing in Amsterdam, who approached Otto Frank to submit a draft of the manuscript for their consideration. They offered to publish but advised Otto Frank that Anne's candor about her emerging sexuality might offend certain conservative quarters and suggested cuts. Further entries were deleted before the book was published on June 25, 1947. It sold well; the 3000 copies of the first edition were soon sold out, and in 1950 a sixth edition was published.
At the end of 1950, a translator was found to produce an English-language version. Barbara Mooyaart-Doubleday was contracted by Vallentine, Mitchell & Co. in England and by the end of the following year her translation was submitted, now including the deleted passages at Otto Frank's request and the book appeared in America and Great Britain 1952. It became a bestseller. Translations into German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Greek followed. The play based on the diary won the Pulitzer Prize for 1955, and the subsequent movie earned Shelley Winters an Academy Award for her performance, whereupon Winters donated her Oscar to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.
Simon Wiesenthal's encounter with deniers distributing pamphlets calling the diary a 'fake' propelled him into investigating the arrest of the Frank family, with the dual purpose of bringing to justice the betrayer and thus proving the diary's historic legitimacy. The investigation ended in 1963 when he located Karl Silberbauer, the officer who arrested the Frank family in their hiding place. Although he could shed little light on the identity of their betrayer, Silberbauer remembered the incident and provided a detail which contradicted the contemporary Nazis who alleged the diary was a post-war invention; during the arrest he saw Anne Frank's diaries and manuscripts as he emptied them from a briefcase used to remove items stolen from the prisoners.
In the light of this testimony, Holocaust deniers began to shift their focus away from denying the existence of Anne Frank to casting doubt on the authenticity of the published version of her diary, alleging paradoxically that she was not the author of the book, and that the published version was not representative of what was written in the original notebooks.
Otto Frank had stated in interviews that he cut many passages from the manuscript that he thought would be of little interest to the general reader before the book's original publication and that he had assigned pseudonyms to protect the identities of those Anne Frank had mentioned by name. Holocaust deniers suggested this was proof the published version was not an accurate transcription of the manuscripts, and even that this suggested the work had been written wholly or partly by Otto Frank or one of his associates.
Although he took successful legal actions for the remainder of his life to protect the memory of his daughter, it was only after Otto Frank's death in 1980 and the publication of Anne Frank's unabridged diaries that the debate could finally be put to rest. In his will, Otto Frank bequeathed his daughter's manuscripts to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation, who commissioned a forensic study to determine when the manuscripts had been prepared, and by whom. The glue, paper and other materials used in the original notebooks as well as the ink and handwriting found within them and the loose version were extensively examined and in 1986 the results were published. The handwriting was found to be consistent with known examples of Anne Frank's handwriting, and the paper, ink and glue found in the diaries and loose papers were consistent with materials available in Amsterdam during the period in which the diary was written.
The survey of her manuscripts showed in comparison an unabridged transcription of Anne Frank's original notebooks, the entries she expanded and clarified on loose paper in a rewritten form, and the final edit as it was prepared for the U.S publication. The investigation revealed that all of the entries in the originally published version were accurate transcriptions of manuscript entries in Anne Frank's handwriting, and that they represented approximately a third of the material collected for the initial publication. A comparison can made with the editorial histories of the diaries of Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf and Anaïs Nin. All three writers revised their diaries after the initial draft, and the material was posthumously edited into a publishable manuscript by their respective husbands.

The Story of OpenAL
At Loki Entertainment Software, we deal with lots of different kinds of software. From public domain, to BSD-licensed source, to Free Software under GPL and LGPL, to proprietary code under contract and NDAs, to closed source hardware drivers, we encounter it all on a daily basis. Moreover, we also write a variety of source. The games we port to Linux are not open source, but our own work is available as free software in projects like part of projects like Fenris, Setup, SMPEG or SDL.
Crossing the fences from all sides over and over again, and getting to know both the concerns of free software and open-source advocates as well as the concerns of publishers and developers, our priorities have changed. As important as open-source and free software are, one of our projects in particular developed out of the recognition that there is something even more important: open, well-documented standards. That project is OpenAL, and its history so far is a fair bit of education on how important standards are—and how difficult it is to create them.
With the Linux ports of Heretic2 and Heavy Gear 2, Loki encountered engines that used spatialized sound above and beyond left-right panning. Heretic2 for a time served as a showcase for audio hardware manufacturers: Aureal's A3D and Creative's EAX, specifically, were both supported. Both competitors at that time had ventured beyond the DirectSound3D feature set and were following very different approaches to spatialized sound. Windows game developers, caught between three different APIs (not counting the large number of commercial audio SDKs offered for Windows), more often than not chose to ignore the issue altogether and refrained from implementing advanced features (unless they decided to go with one of the SDK offerings that promised to provide a convenient abstraction). The manufacturers stepped up and in many cases guided the developer's hand in adding EAX or A3D support to their engines. Spatialized 3-D sound became a checkbox item, a feature to be listed on the game box, and for a while the Windows game developers were offered an easy ride.
Unfortunately, the situation for Linux users was quite different. Driver support for the SB16 de facto standard had stabilized, and PCI sound cards, all in all, worked reasonably well under Linux. Yet, no ALSA or OSS-proprietary or open-source support for the most advanced features and boards was readily available.
Developers targeting Apple users found themselves in a similar situation—while the multimedia APIs on Mac OS might be more sophisticated and complete than the Linux solutions, they were even less compatible with DirectSound and equally oblivious to EAX and A3D features. Windows developers who cared about portability faced an audio feature set full of shining promises, but without a portable API. Given the vastly different approaches of the two main competitors, things were bound to get worse—at a time when Microsoft didn't even provide DirectSound3D for the NT platform that many developers preferred.
Creative, a dominant force in the audio hardware market, found itself challenged by Aureal, a company that attempted to take its experience with high-end spatialized sound solutions into the PC consumer market. Aureal proposed "wavetracing", a proprietary approach to generating spatialized sound by simulation of sound propagation and acoustic properties of a scene—essentially, by submitting scene geometry to the sound driver. It is important to understand that to a much larger degree than graphics, audio technology was, and still is, software-based. Both the viable market for SDKs, like Miles Sound System or QSound's QMixer, and the evolution of the competing hardware drivers are clear indications of this. Aureal's advantage was their knowledge of simulation, the calculation of early reflections and a lot of optimization work for their drivers. Their disadvantage was the PC consumer market, an environment in which cheap speakers are added to budget solutions as an afterthought. Moving high-end audio processing out of the laboratory and away from the individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs), on a desktop where most users and most developers didn't really spend much thought on spatialization, proved to be extraordinarily difficult and, as we now know, ultimately fatal.
Despite operating at diminishing returns for all their efforts, Aureal managed to accomplish one thing: to awaken interest and tentative user demand for better 3-D audio in games. For early adopters, it became a selling point, and publishers and developers followed eventually. Creative, which had their own road map to future audio features, countered by emphasizing their own extended feature set—a much simpler solution focused on stochastic reverberation to emulate the effect of late reflections. In a way, the early and late reflection solutions are complements but the API's and implementations were fundamentally different, and Creative had picked well: EAX was easier and simpler to use, and for all the lack for simulation accuracy, stochastic reverb proved to be a much more effective audio cue for the noisy, low-end speaker desktop.
Both companies were considering Linux initiatives. On one hand, Aureal had a complete software implementation of "wavetracing", eventually marketed as "A2D" to support the A3D feature set on their competitors' sound cards that could have been the base of a proprietary or even open-source sample implementation. On the other hand, Aureal's code base was a heavily optimized assembly, and a Linux port was not a foregone conclusion. Creative, on the other hand, recruited Linux coders to develop drivers in-house and looked for ways to support EAX under Linux. Both APIs were written with respect to Microsoft's DirectX and COM, but Aureal's geometry-based A3D API had also been inspired by the OpenGL API. This was one of many examples on the influence of OpenGL on the development of OpenAL.

Several guiding principles, drawn from what is known about the nature of learning science, underlie both the structure and the content of the framework. These principles include young children's capacity to learn science, a focus on core ideas, the development of true understanding over time, the consideration both of knowledge and practice, the linkage of science education to students' interests and experiences, and the promotion of equity.
Children Are Born Investigators
The research summarized in Taking Science to School [1] revealed that children entering kindergarten have surprisingly sophisticated ways of thinking about the world, based in part on their direct experiences with the physical environment, such as watching objects fall or collide and observing plants and animals [11-16]. They also learn about the world through everyday activities, such as talking with their families, pursuing hobbies, watching television, and playing with friends [3]. As children try to understand and influence the world around them, they develop ideas about their role in that world and how it works [17-19]. In fact, the capacity of young children—from all backgrounds and socioeconomic levels—to reason in sophisticated ways is much greater than has long been assumed [1]. Although they may lack deep knowledge and extensive experience, they often engage in a wide range of subtle and complex reasoning about the world [20-23]. Thus, before they even enter school, children have developed their own ideas about the physical, biological, and social worlds and how they work. By listening to and taking these ideas seriously, educators can build on what children already know

Prep football: Barron Collier shakes off early deficit to earn victory over Pinecrest
SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. - After Barron Collier quarterback Justin Black was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone, it looked like the Cougars' chances of winning their first game outside of the state of Florida were dead. The resulting safety put BC down 15-14 to Southern Pines-Pinecrest, and the Cougars were punting the ball back to the Patriots from the 20-yard line.
But just as it did all night, the Barron defense came through as BC defensive back Nathan Leedy intercepted his second pass of the game and gave Black a chance at redemption.
Black didn't disappoint, leading his team to touchdown drives on two of the next three possessions as the Cougars beat the Patriots 27-15.
"Our defense is playing phenomenal right now," Black said. "I've never seen a defense come together like they have. There's no one star on our defense, they all play together and they're doing a heck of a job right now."
For a large part of the game, the Cougars offense was its own worst enemy. For the game, the Cougars had 155 yards in penalties, many of them coming at crucial times. But the Barron Collier defense kept the game from getting out of hand by forcing six turnovers, including four in the fourth quarter.
"When we needed them they came through," Barron coach Mark Ivey said. "Obviously the defense won this game for us, and if they keep that up and the offense can work out a few kinks we're gong to be in good shape."
In the first half, the Cougars running game was non-existent. At halftime, Barron Collier had just 34 yards rushing, 19 of which came from the team's punter. But in the fourth quarter, bruising running back Matt Gerhardstein and the Cougars offensive line seemed to wear down the Patriots.
In the fourth quarter Gerhardstein busted loose for touchdown runs of 34 and 24 yards, the latter coming with 0:10 left in the game. Gerhardstein finished the game with 64 yards on the ground and also caught a touchdown pass in the second quarter.
He said despite the early 13-0 deficit, he knew his team would come back.
"We conditioned all summer for this type of game," Gerhardstein said. "We knew if we could stay close we would have a chance to come back and that's what we did."
Black had a terrific game throwing the ball, finishing 15-of-21 for 197 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also carried nine times for 34 yards and a score.
"I could feel their defense wearing down as the game went along," Black said. "I think our no-huddle combined with the heat that we're used to playing in really helped us tonight."
Ivey lauded the Patriots for their effort, saying that if his team can beat a team like Pinecrest, it bodes well for the rest of the year.
"We haven't played a team like this in quite some time," Ivey said. "… Being able to play against their physical brand of ball; if we can get those little things cleaned up that hurt us tonight I think we should be able to play with anybody."

Dust Storm over Bahrain and Qatar
September 26, 2007
Saudi Arabian dust blew over Bahrain, Qatar, and the Persian Gulf on September 12, 2007. The MODIS on NASA's Terra satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, the dust appears as a pale beige arc moving in a clockwise direction.
Although the dust is thin along the margins of the plume, near the center of the arc, it is thick enough to almost completely hide the island nation of Bahrain. Bahrain is between the peninsular country of Qatar (near the center) and Saudi Arabia (left). Kuwait is near the top center of the image.

What's so good?

The track features the vocals of go-to London lady Terri Walker. She adds a sexy touch to the pianos and deep bass behind -- almost a Romy to Jamie if this were The xx. Which it isn't. Quite. The similarities are certainly there, though. While Jamie, Romy, and Oliver tend to base their music in a more acoustic, organic zone, "Twilight" uses many of the same techniques but in an electronic context. For instance, check out the drums he drops in half way through. I certainly haven't heard anything this intelligent since, well, The xx.
Keep your eyes peeled for jozif as he continues to blaze his trail!
Sounds like: The xx, Jacques Greene, xxyyxx, Odesza, Janelle Monae

When letting a property to tenants it is essential that you have a comprehensive landlord insurance policy in place to protect you financially against the unforeseen.
Landlord insurance is designed to provide you with financial protection should anything unexpected happen to your rental property, your contents within it, or the people living in it.
A good landlord home insurance policy will protect you for a whole range of eventualities. However, the most important aspects are that it will step up to cover the cost if something should happen to your property or its contents, you lose income because your tenant doesn't pay the rent or if you need to take your tenants to court.
For this reason the insurance requirements of landlords are very different from those covered by regular home insurance policies, showing how important it is to have the right policy for you.
By comparing quotes from specialist buy to let insurance companies you can be confident that you are fully covered.
Buildings insurance for landlords is essential to protect the bricks and mortar of your rental property and the permanent fixtures within.
The amount insured must be at least equivalent to the rebuild value of your property (you can find this on your surveyors report if you're not sure). This is usually a requirement mortgage companies as a way of protecting their investment if a property is damaged beyond repair.
However, specialist landlord building insurance may also include 'loss of rent' protection; this cover will pay out if, due to an insured event (i.e. fire or flood) taking place at the rental property, it is not possible to obtain rental income.
Landlord building insurance will usually also include third party liability cover, this will provide protection if a tenant is injured due to poor maintenance of the property.
The level of landlord contents insurance needed for a rental property depends on whether it is let on a furnished or unfurnished basis.
Comprehensive landlord contents insurance is needed for furnished properties, whereas limited contents insurance can be obtained to cover any white goods, curtains, carpets and light fixtures included in unfurnished properties.
The majority of specialist house insurance for landlord policies offer optional add-ons relating to contents cover and although these are usually at an extra cost they can be incredibly beneficial. So be sure not to rule them out as they could save you greatly in the long run.
If you opt to add landlord home emergency cover to your policy rather than just landlord home insurance, a helpline will be provided which can be called if emergency repair work is needed.
The insurance provider will then arrange for a suitable contractor to come to your property and also pay for any call out or labour charges as well as any materials and work completed up to a fixed amount.
Emergency assistance usually covers incidents relating to electricity, plumbing, cooking equipment and security measures (see individual insurers for a more comprehensive list) and can be an incredibly useful feature to add to your buy to let house insurance.
In addition to landlord home emergency cover you may also want to consider whether landlord boiler cover is a feature that you should be looking to add to your landlord insurance quote.
This will pay out to cover the cost of repairs to a gas boiler or a combi boiler in your rental property up to a fixed amount, giving you the reassurance that you won't be faced with a large unexpected cost should the boiler in your buy to let property break down.
If you decide to add rent guarantee cover to your cheap landlord insurance policy, the insurance company will step in and provide you with replacement rental income for a set period if your tenant fails to pay rent.
This cover is especially useful if there is an outstanding mortgage on your property as it will help to ensure that you are able to continue to meet the repayments even if aren't receiving any income from your tenants.
Legal expenses cover is another add on that's commonly offered. This will provide you with the ability and legal support to evict a tenant if they are in breech of the rental agreement and also claim expenses through the courts if they fail to make rent payments.
Finding the best landlord insurance isn't as simple as going for the company that just offers you the cheapest insurance quote. Do this and you'll find that your cheap landlord insurance will work out expensive later on if the cover you have in place doesn't give you the protection you need.
Instead, you need to think about the type of cover you need from your policy, whether you go for just landlord insurance or add enhancements, and then obtain multiple quotes from specialist landlord insurance providers. You can use our landlords insurance comparison to compare the cover on offer from different providers, and our Advanced Search to find the policies that will give you the protection you need.
Then it's simply a case of finding which insurer will offer you the best cheap landlords insurance once you've tailored your policy to your exact requirements. Doing this will mean that whether you own single or multiple rental properties you can ensure that if the unexpected happens you and your properties will be fully covered.
Investing in property is still a great way to make your money work for you, but as attractive as it may seem, getting a buy to let property is not a one-way ticket to riches. We take a closer look at the pros and cons.

Provocation of the day: Baseball Daily Digest
Mar 22, 2010, 4:15 PM EDT
Headline: "Did the Twins just lock up the next Jason Kendall?"
The answer, ultimately, is "probably not," but the article is worth reading if for no other reason than to be reminded that there was a time when Jason Kendall was pretty close to awesome.
I like headlines that make people freak out for a minute though, so the fact that the article itself is interesting is pure gravy as far as I'm concerned
- And Now For Something Completely Different - Mar 22, 2010 at 4:30 PM
Posting this because frankly I can't think of to comment on this one.
Woman 1: It's funny that penguin being there, isn't it? What's it doing there?
Woman 2: Standing.
Woman 1: I can see that! Where did it come from?
Woman 2: Perhaps it comes from next door.
Woman 1: Penguins don't come from next door; they come from the Antarctic!
Woman 2: BURMA!
Woman 1: Why'd you say "Burma"?
Woman 2: I panicked.
. . .
TV Announcer: It's just gone eight o'clock and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode.
[The penguin explodes]
Woman 1: How did he know that was going to happen?
TV Announcer: It was an inspired guess.

Jason Kendall is Joe Mauer's third comp through age 26:
But Twins fans can console themselves with Bill Dickey at #1 and Yogi Berra at #2.
Every long term contract is a risk from an injury standpoint; this one no more so than any other, outside of the higher injury risk to catchers than other position players.
- scatterbrian - Mar 22, 2010 at 5:33 PM
Does this mean Mauer will eventually get into a custody battle, and his wife will show up to court alongside Trent Reznor's son?
- Old Gator - Mar 22, 2010 at 10:17 PM
As Craig will admit when forced into a corner – he is, after all, a fundamentally honest pundit when cornered – speculating about Joe Mauer's chances of being made Borg was the most fun a sports blogger could have with his pants on. There's nothing left for them now but Pujols. If he gets wrapped by the Cards soon, these guys are going to be left with nothing but reality. Granted, reality is still the best place to get a steak, but if you write about sports for a living, it's not an especially appealing space regardless.
- Craig Calcaterra - Mar 22, 2010 at 10:21 PM
You're right about that. Indeed, the day FOX ran that photoshopped pic of Pujols in the Yankees uniform was probably the happiest day of my blogging life. The best thing that could ever happen would be for (a) Pujols to hit the market; (b) The Yankees to sign him; (c) two days later the contract gets nullified for some technical reason; (d) Pujols signs back with the Cardinals.
If that were to happen, I'd probably just retire as soon as the cycle of outrage, glee, sadness and schadenfreude had run its course. No more worlds left to conquer, you know.

General Vocabulary
I went to this site http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com/to create a crossword puzzle of technical terms. (Check under "web links" on this resource center) The only problem with this was that I wasn't able to generate a word list, so I had to add that later.
Rank Strategy
Useful but Needs to be Modified
This made the students think about the terminology. It provided some variety to the standard "write the definition" assignment. They really needed a word bank to fill it out, sometimes they'd know the definition but not the spelling. It wasn't too time consuming to make the crossword puzzle, but there was no way to save it part-way through. It was better than a word find because the kids have to connect the definitions.

Obsessive Clay Aiken fans.

This is like asking whether you prefer pedophiles or necrophiles.
Fans of TheLastGreatMan Accessory Shop
Both are horrible. I would rather be a juggalo.
I think a Rage fan is worse. They walk around thinking they're badasses and have a terrible attitude.
I think evangelical christians are worse than both, quite possibly the worst on this earth, even worse than muslims.
white power?!
Justice are a fad, will people go apeshit over a Justice reunion in 15 years... nope... will anyone even remember Justice in 15 years... most likely nope... but I will still dance my ass off to DVNO any day.
ron paul is better than both. i know that much
Justice fans have none of the instant hateability of Rage fans. Ask a Justice fan about music, or talk about how much you just don't fucking get all the hype, and they can be annoying. But otherwise, you might not even know. They can live fairly full and healthy lives, as functioning and productive members of society. Justice fans can be reasonable, rational people in other, non-Justice aspects.
Same can't be said of Rage fans. Ironically, given their more-individual-than-thou attitude, they all seem to look, think and sound oddly similar...

Spoon fans, because they go to Spoon shows and pretend to like the music when really, they're just smugly surveying the people in the venue telling themselves how indie and cool they are. I've been, I couldn't even stay the whole time because of how awful it was.
At least Rage and Justice fans are passionate about the music.
I always hated obcessive Phish fans myself.
Recent studies at Yale have shown that being an asshole is detrimental to one's health. Professor Sweetlove, a Psychology professor, came on record as saying:
"Assholes and local desert rats tend to live shorter lives and have less consensual sexual relations than non assholes. It could be due to lower testoserone levels or a chemical imbalance in the brain but some people are just wired to be.... well.... assholes"

Romantics, old and new
With the death of Belva Plain last week, we lost another Jewish romantic. If not precisely a peddler of shund love stories, nor a Harlequin novelist per se, Plain, like Erich Segal, churned out an enormously popular oeuvreŌĆöreportedly, some 25 million copies of her books have been printed to dateŌĆöall of which was smothered enthusiastically with good, old-fashioned shmaltz. Have no fear, though: Even with Plain gone, the Jewish romance is still alive and kicking, though it sets forth these days with varying levels of sentimentality, historical fancy, and bodice-ripping verve.
Joseph SkibellŌĆÖs A Curable Romantic (Algonquin, October), for one appositely titled example, guides readers back to fin de si├©cle Vienna, where a young Jewish clerk lusts after a young lady he spots at the theater one night with a certain Dr. Freud. Evincing its own lust for history, folklore, and collisions of the two, SkibellŌĆÖs book introduces its protagonist not just to the granddaddy of psychoanalysis, but also to Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof, the Jewish doctor who invented Esperanto. Further complicating matters is the heroŌĆÖs father, who speaks entirely in Biblical quotations, rendered here in Hebrew characters as well as in translationŌĆöand, finally, one tenacious dybbuk.
Concerned as much with the failure of romance as with its successes, Andrew WinerŌĆÖs The Marriage Artist (Henry Holt, October) likewise evinces a fascination with the mating habits of Jews in pre-WWII Austria. It shuttles between the contemporary New York art scene and 1928 Vienna, where a young boy learns the art of ketubah embellishment from his Ostjude grandfather. Love isnŌĆÖt exactly idealized in the novel (lovers argue, undermine each other, divorce, and throw themselves out of windows), but WinerŌĆÖs art critic protagonist protests that loving ŌĆ£painfullyŌĆØ is inevitable, at least for him and his Russian Jewish flame: ŌĆ£Was there any other way for two people to love each other ŌĆ" when they were each married to someone else?ŌĆØ
If WinerŌĆÖs novelŌĆÖs structureŌĆöalternating chapters that link Jewish characters across a linguistic and/or historical divide, with a touch of typographical whimsy thrown in at the end for good measureŌĆöwere to be named after its most iconic practitioner, it would have to be called Foerian Alternation. The History of Love (2005), by Nicole Krauss, is a prime example of that narrative strategy (and before publishing it, Krauss married the techniqueŌĆÖs namesake). Great House (Norton, October), her third novel, ups the ante, joining four narrative strands, through its characteristically alternating chapters set in New York, Jerusalem, London, and Oxford. Given their ambition and playfulness, thereŌĆÖs reason to fear an exponential series developing between these two talented writers: FoerŌĆÖs next novel featuring 16 intertwining stories, KraussŌĆÖ 256, then FoerŌĆÖs next 65,536, ad infinitum.
The index case of Foerian Alernation was, of course, the popular Everything Is Illuminated (2002), in which a young writer with the same name as the bookŌĆÖs author confects a magical, technicolor vision of a Ukranian shtetl that owes more to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the fables of Jorge Luis Borges than to anything that Jews have ever said or done. Which is to say that FoerŌĆÖs project was precisely not to write what has now been published, with a preface by Foer himself, as The Heavens Are Empty: Discovering the Lost Town of Trochenbrod (Pegasus, October). In it, Avrom Bendavid-Val attempts to uncover the actual history of the locale that FoerŌĆÖs protagonist employed as a blank canvas upon which his imagination could run riot.
Like FoerŌĆÖs and KraussŌĆÖ clever children and adolescents, the protagonists of Dash & Lily's Book of Dares (Knopf, October)ŌĆöa follow-up by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan to their tikkun olam┬Ł-mentioning, Michael Cera-driven-adaptation-producing Nick & NoraŌĆÖs Infinite PlaylistŌĆöare at times impossibly charming. In the words of one blogger: ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs just so so so so so so so CUH-YUTEŌĆöthe romance!ŌĆØ The novel gets started during Christmas break when boy meets girlŌĆÖs Moleskin notebook (at the Strand! among J. D. SalingerŌĆÖs books!) and follows the 16-year-olds (in alternating chapters!) as they trade dares and flirt and act pretty damn adorable. Oh, and thereŌĆÖs also, unsurprisingly, a ŌĆ£gay Jewish dancepop/indie/punk band called Silly Rabbi, Tricks Are for Yids.ŌĆØ
Naomi RagenŌĆÖs take on contemporary Jewish romance is much less happy-go-lucky: Her latest novel, The Tenth Song (St. MartinŌĆÖs, October), begins with a woman delighting in ŌĆ£the answer to every Jewish motherŌĆÖs prayerŌĆØ who will soon marry her daughter, a Harvard Law student, when a piece of bad news arrives: her accountant husbandŌĆÖs arrest ŌĆ£for transferring money to support terrorist organizations that are responsible for the deaths of American soldiers.ŌĆØ This impels the whole family to travel to Israel, where they can reconsider their values.
Before romance novels began crowding the racks at supermarkets, there were romantics: the 19th-century kind, like the composer Gustav Mahler. The British novelist and classical-music journalist Norman Lebrecht makes a decidedly personal case for the continuing relevance of that particular sort of romantic in his widely panned Why Mahler? How One Man and Ten Symphonies Changed Our World (Pantheon, October). Among other aims, the book pushes what one reviewer describes as LebrechtŌĆÖs deeply held, though not widely accepted, belief that Mahler, who converted to Catholicism so as to take a gig directing the Vienna Court Opera, ŌĆ£was not ŌĆ" uneasy about, or in flight from his Jewish background, but rather fully and even happily determined by it.ŌĆØ
All romances end. Even the passionate, eccentric ones, like the marriage of the Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter and his second wife, Antonia FraserŌĆöŌĆ£the working-class Jewish boy from the East End and the Catholic aristocrat with her title,ŌĆØ who found common ground in their mutual membership in what she calls ŌĆ£the Bohemian class.ŌĆØ Fraser, a biographer, chronicles their relationship in Must You Go?: My Life With Harold Pinter (Nan A. Talese, November), a mix of her diaries and more recent reflections, which one reviewer has described as having ŌĆ£at times a bosom-heaving, lace-handkerchief-fluttering quality.ŌĆØ Torrid as the relationship may have beenŌĆöit began, scandalously, with an all-night, extramarital lovemaking session that Fraser recallsŌĆöit could not outlive PinterŌĆÖs death in 2008. Except in the form of this book, of course, where, like other literary romances, it will outlive all of us.

CEO of match21 Invited to Speak to World Bank on Initiative Using Technology for Peace; Global Volunteer Network, Powered by match21, Proposed to Help Bridge the Digital Divide.
PRAGUE, Czech Republic--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2000
Daniel Lubetzky, CEO of match21(TM) (www.match21.com), a New York City-based technology company that turns Web portals into customized digital marketplaces, and hosts PartnerWork(TM), the most advanced business-to-business global marketplace on the Web, was selected to speak Monday at the World Bank's "After the Guns Go Silent" roundtable on the Global Volunteer Network (GVN) on occasion of the 2000 annual meetings.
Conceived by Lubetzky, the GVN is an online initiative designed to connect volunteers worldwide with not-for-profit organizations and individuals seeking unpaid assistance. match21's proprietary networking technology will allow the GVN to offer a global online platform through which volunteers and relief organizations can discover one another using highly specified searches. According to their focus, each member of the Network will be able to customize different search parameters, categories and templates. Individuals and organizations will be able to efficiently exchange requests, ideas and information in an aggregated setting and will be able to communicate with each other in real-time through both the Internet and WAP/SMS-enabled devices.
The GVN is now an official initiative of the Global Leaders of Tomorrow, a collaborative leadership program founded by the World Economic Forum and is spearheaded by the Business of Cooperation task force, which Lubetzky chairs.
[pilcrow (paragraph sign)] "The Global Volunteer Network is a paradigm for combining technology and business to turn the digital divide into a digital dividend," said Mr. Lubetzky. "By combining the power of the Internet with the passion of young business people, the GVN taps into the large reservoir of goodwill by millions of employees that want to contribute to making this a better world. By using match21's cutting edge technology, the GVN will provide a liquid, balanced platform that unifies volunteers and those in need of their assistance under a single umbrella and enables them to communicate via the Internet. No single network currently offers these types of advanced connectivity and interactive, real-time communication tools that the GVN will provide its users."
In addition to the Global Volunteer Network initiative, in 1994 Mr. Lubetzky founded PeaceWorks, a company whose mission is to promote peace among former adversaries through economic cooperation. PeaceWorks has established commercial enterprises in regions of conflict across the globe. These troubled areas include South Africa, Guatemala and the Middle East, through which divided communities (such as Israelis and Palestinians) work together in joint capacities, as catalysts for peace.
About match21(TM)
match21(TM) is the company that provides Web portals with the back-end technology to transform their communities into online marketplaces, matching buyers and sellers of products and services. By implementing this proprietary technology, portals can become part of match21's global online marketplace, PartnerWork. This larger network is the aggregate of all the portals empowered by the match21 technology. The benefit is a marketplace for buyers and sellers that goes far beyond the limited community of a single portal and provides end-users with the most dynamic way to buy and sell products and services on the Web.

I have recently gotten hooked on this show. I think I watched an original special on them or early episode... then they had a marathon about a month ago and I got caught up. Now it seems like they are in a 2nd season.
I love the early years of Jon and Kate so of course this is similar minus all the verbal abuse.
What is it with these multiples shows that gets me hooked!?!

Tales from the Front: Let Other CPAs Do Your Marketing for You
It took us a while of going back and forth with questions (which his CPA had never asked), but we saved him over $50,000 in taxes. Do you think we now have a client for life?
More importantly, we have a cheerleader out in the community who can't wait to tell everyone he knows how smart he is for coming to us.
Unlike many other CPAs (not all), we just don't take the client's info packet and 1099's, etc., and create a return. We look to separate ourselves from the competition by going the extra mile.
And we make sure the client knows it by telling him or her exactly what we did and how difficult and time consuming it was.
Thus, other CPAs do a lot of our marketing by treating the client as a "file," not a beloved family member. Our competitors have put dozens of our cheerleaders and community leaders in our target market, by doing the minimum they can by just getting the work out.
Is this overly harsh to our profession? Perhaps; but maybe not. I love my profession and want to build the CPA brand one client and referral source at a time. In a period of over two years of speaking in front of over 1,200 people in our community, only two people responded when I asked, "How much did your CPA save you last year in taxes? What ideas did they give you moving forward to minimize the tax burden?"
We are approaching times when marketing may again come to the forefront as clients go out of business and have to be replaced. The firm that presses forward now by investing in traditional (institutional) marketing and nurturing their firm's apostles (who will carry the word), will grab more than their share of the market without losing a step.
Since most won't (as it costs money, effort, time, making decisions and changing the way they do business), those few that do will clean up.

Parking in Hillcrest? You bet your asphalt
Shuttered restaurants' owner allows 36 spots
Now, shoppers' chances are better. The lot, leased by the Pernicanos to Sunset Parking, will be open round the clock. Rates run from $2 an hour to $5 for nine hours. The solar-powered ticket dispenser accepts major credit cards. While the tall "Pernicano's/Casa di Baffi" sign remains unlit, two new overhead lights have been installed.
From Sixth Avenue, the place looks like — well, that depends on your perspective. To the casual observer, this resembles any other 25,000-square-foot swath of earth covered in fresh asphalt. No big deal.
To those possessed of a broader vision, though, this looks like a blacktopped slice of heaven.
"If you know parking in Hillcrest," Gloria said, "you know this is a very, very important day."

33 weeks and Baby Alexander is still transverse
2nd Pregnancy - Alexander born on March 26, 2013 at 1:57 AM (EDD March 30, 2013 (Team Blue))

At 33 weeks there is still time but talk to your doctor now about your options. Also check out SpinningBabies.com.

There are different hand-and-knees or butt-up postures you can so to help move things along. Check with ob and/or look at the spinningbabies website as pp mentioned.

Our beautiful RAINBOW baby girl is finally here!!!
My LO is also transverse and I'm nearly 33 weeks. I've been doing the spinningbabies.com inversions that are recommended for transverse babies... and I have felt some attempts at turning (not successful yet). But, as others have said, I do think we still have some time. If I get past 34-35 weeks and baby is still transverse, thinking I may try to go to a chiropractor (trained in Webster technique) or an accupuncturist.
In the meantime, planning to continue inversions and stretch like crazy to make sure baby is able to turn when he/she is ready!
I'm going to bookmark your post and would love to keep in touch throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Hope your LO turns soon for you!

'Final proposal minimalist, misses important elements'
After the National Advisory Council (NAC) cleared the food security framework, council member and development economist Jean Drèze issued a dissent note saying that "an opportunity [had] been missed to initiate a radical departure in this field."
"The NAC proposals [are] a great victory for the government — they allow it to appear to be doing something radical for food security, but it is actually more of the same," he said.
In the United Progressive Alliance's first tenure, when the Sonia Gandhi-led NAC was formed, Dr. Drèze played a critical role in the formulation of two of its most important programmes — the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the path-breaking Right to Information Act.
He, however, quit halfway through his tenure as he felt that the NAC was not radical enough.
According to Dr. Drèze, the NAC "began its deliberations on a visionary note" but later came under a lot of pressure to accommodate constraints imposed by the government. The final result, he says, is "a minimalist proposal that misses many important elements of food security."
He feels the Public Distribution System (PDS) framework is "very fragmented and fails to abolish the artificial distinction between APL and BPL households" while adding that it "takes on board food procurement limits that reflect the government's reluctance to expand the PDS over objective constraints."
"Non-PDS entitlements have been diluted beyond recognition. Entire fields of intervention that are crucial for food security [such as child development services and old age pensions] have been left out of the final proposals," he points out.
"The NAC seems to be expected to work within constraints imposed by the government that do not leave scope for anything like what is required to address the problem of hunger and under-nutrition in an effective manner. The final National Food Security Act proposals are very disappointing and, on this matter, the NAC has failed in its basic purpose — of imparting a new vision to social policy in India."
