And what about trying to help yourself, when you're being tormented?
To hear my old teachers tell it, they would've said that was just attention-seeking and being too weak to solve your own problems.
Unfortunately, I ended up with an extremely cynical opinion of the public school system as a result of what I went through from K-8. Maybe the reforms that have come down since that time help, but I find myself very reluctant to contemplate sending any future children into that institutional hell.

Groups: Immigrant minors need deportation lawyers
Wednesday - 7/9/2014, 9:21pm EDT
Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) -- A coalition of immigrant rights advocacy groups sued the federal government Wednesday, saying the vast majority of minors in deportation proceedings lack legal representation.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle on behalf of eight plaintiffs who range in age from 10 to 17.
The plaintiffs came to the U.S. from Mexico and Central America. Several of them were fleeing violence in their countries -- the same reason behind a surge of tens of thousands of minors coming to the southern border recently, the lawsuit said.
That crisis prompted federal officials to say Wednesday that deportation cases involving unaccompanied child immigrants and parents traveling with children would be moved to the top of immigration court dockets.
Under federal law, the government is not required to provide attorneys for immigrants of any age facing deportation. Immigrants can hire private attorneys or seek free legal representation.
Thousands of minors undergo deportation proceedings every year, and most lack legal representation, the lawsuit says. The groups argue this practice violates the Constitution, saying the minors are entitled to due process under the Fifth Amendment.
"It is simply unacceptable that children are forced to stand alone before an immigration judge, pitted against trained attorneys from the federal government," said Matt Adams, legal director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, one of the groups suing.
The lawsuit names Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, among other federal officials.
A spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, declined to comment. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to an email about the case.
The lawsuit is seeking to require the government to provide minors with legal representation. It's also seeking class-action certification.
The groups argue withholding attorneys from minors violates provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that requiring a "full and fair hearing" before an immigration judge.
It wasn't immediately known how much it would cost to have government-provided attorneys represent minors in immigration court. Recently the Obama Administration began a $2 million program through AmeriCorps to have 100 attorneys and paralegals working on cases with minors.
The minors in the lawsuit are living in California and Washington but are scheduled for deportation hearings in August and September.
Attorney Kristen Jackson of Public Counsel, a legal-aid firm and one of the groups that filed suit, said children in desperate need of lawyers for deportation cases contact her office every day.
"Pro bono efforts have been valiant, but they will never fully meet the increasing and complex needs these children present," Jackson said. "The time has come for our government to recognize our Constitution's promise of fairness and its duty to give these children a real voice in court."
According to the lawsuit, five of the minors fled El Salvador and Guatemala because of gang violence. Three of them saw their father murdered because he ran a rehabilitation center for gang members.
The other groups suing the government are the American Civil Liberties Union, American Immigration Council and K&L Gates LLP. They filed the lawsuit in Seattle because the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project is based there and has worked on several cases involving minors. The legal aid group provides guidance at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.

Standard Parking ServiceRead MoreHamburger Hamlet has its roots in the original Hamburger Hamlet, an upscale burger joint opened in 1950 by actor Harry Lewis and his wife, Marilyn. Much like the studio system and rampant anti-Communist paranoia of that time, however, that Hamburger Hamlet is no more. In its place is a chain of restaurants that have retained the original's commitment to quality food, A-list service, and morose Act III soliloquies. The new Hamburger Hamlet's menu, overseen by executive chef Tony Zidar, updates much of the original Ham Ham fare while expanding upon the available eats. Still on the roster are burgers with beef, turkey, or veggie patties, such as the all-American classic cheeseburger ($9.95?$10.95) or the avocado-topped Marilyn Burger ($10.50?$10.95), all served with regular, mesquite, or garlic fries. On the new menu, however, are entrees such as a pan-roasted chicken served with spinach and garlic-parmesan fries ($16.95?$17.95), a barbecue meatloaf sandwich with garlic mashed potatoes on its arm ($10.95?$11.95), and a California market salad loaded with nuts, vegetables, chicken, cranberries, and goat cheese ($13.50?$13.95). Chocolateers and fudgeistadors will hit pay dirt with Hamburger Hamlet's ultimate hot-fudge cake ($8.95?$9.95), just one of the several rich desserts offered.4419 Van Nuys BlvdSherman Oaks, CA US

Didn't live up to the hype. Simply put, the steak was not very flavorful. I've had better tasting steak at a dozen other places The ones we had here were ordinary. (German potatoes, aka hash browns, were actually exceptional.) Definitely not worth the schlep to Brooklyn, not to mention carrying hundreds of dollars in cash.
Posted by Kose on 08/23/2008
There is simply no better steak in New Yorkdare I say the world. The steak is so extraordinary any other consideration is secondary. However, the bacon strips are other-worldly too. The atmosphere and service are what they should be: classic steakhouse style. Any complaints about either suggests that the person misunderstood this type of restaurant. Of course, it's expensive, but the price is irrelevant once you've committed to eating at a first-rate steakhouse. To top it off, the make a great gin martini. Luger's is everything it is billed to be and more.
Posted by chefsdaughter on 08/20/2008
i wanted to go here for the longest time. finally, when i did go, i was left very disappointed. i have a hard time enjoying a meal when the service is awful. i went to the manager to complain about our waiter in hopes of a new one. but was dismissed. even the manager wouldn't listen to me and made a shoo / get away hand motion to me. i was very ready to leave but stayed since we did make the schlep out there. but it's hard to digest anything when you get treated so poorly. but i will say the porterhouse was good. the only other thing i liked was the real whipped cream they brought out with our desserts. i'd rather go to del frisco's, bobby van's, mortons... anywhere but here for a good steak. if you are looking for a good quality steak and service, i'm sorry but you won't find it at peter luger.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/19/2008
I have been fortunate to eat in some of the best restaurants in NYC and although Lugers was a fine steak there are other fine steaks out there where you can actually get a reservation. I actually get a pain in my stomach when I am asked to make reservations here because they are so unaccommodating. They act like they are paying me to eat in their restaurant. I made a reservation for 4 people and asked if I could make it 5 and they had me call back 4 times, keeping me on hold for 10 minutes at a time only to tell me to call 2 hours before my boss and his family were about to arrive hoping to bring their mother along. Imagine telling him "Sorry your Mom will have to stay home because the restaurant can't pull up an extra chair for a dinner that will definitely cost over $600 paid in cash because they don't except credit". Unbelievable. Imagine if you were visiting here for just a week and were hoping to try this restaurant? Good luck! You need to call at least a month in advance or you will be told we have a 5:00 p.m. seating and a 9:00 p.m. nothing in between.

Service was good. we were seated almost immediately when we arrived. Server was polite. Ordered Steak for 3, bacon, creamed spinach, German potatoes - Bacon: thick and juicy, definitely the highlight of the meal. - Steak: better than your average steak, but not worth the hype or the price. The "special luger sauce" was basically a mix of A1 shrimp cocktail sauce. At $130, the steak is nothing special.. We'd been better off getting 40 slices of bacon. - creamed spinach: nothing special - German potatoes: the most overpriced items on the menu.. basically paying 10.95 for hash browns. - Go back? NO .. if i lived nearby maybe, but Manhattan has steak houses with better quality. - Misc: cash-only policy is just silly. Need to get some bigger mugs for beer ( a little 8 oz glass just won't do).

After reading some of the previous reviews, I was a little skeptical about coming here. However, I wanted to treat my hubby to a good steak for his birthday. It turns out this place has not only superb food but also some pretty good service. I made reservations about 3 weeks in advance for lunch and was pleased that when we arrived we were seated immediately. Our server was terrific and recommended the steak for two and creamed spinach. Those were some great choices. The steak for two was cooked to perfection and the sauce (oh that sauce!) was too good for words. The spinach was also great-creamy and juicy enough. We didn't get to have dessert because we were full from our entree. I only had about 4 thick pieces of steak (which by the way was a combination of filet mignon and NY strip). Since the pieces are so thick and healthy, 4 pieces is about one decent-sized steak. My husband wasn't even able to finish so of course we took the rest home. The only bad thing that occurred while we were there was my husband's plate had a hair on it (before the food was served). He simply asked the waiter to replace it, which the waiter kindly did and apologized. Usually if something like this happens I would've opted to leave but the waiter seemed deeply apologetic and sincere. Overall, I would certainly come here again. If I could afford it, like a previous review stated, I would come every weekend too. I've lived in Brooklyn for many years and can finally say that I've been to Brooklyn's finest steak restaurant!
Posted by old greenpoint gal on 07/22/2008
As a child I went often to Peter Lugers. Aunt Helen and Uncle Bill went there every week, and any time we had a family get-together we went there. My nephew Brian was weaned on their steak...lol. Anyway, I went there with two of my daughters and their husband/boyfriend, and my husband. The food was just as I remembered. The whole place brought back such wonderful memories. It is still a very expensive place to eat, but worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. I wish I could go there every week, too. If you've never been there you don't know what you're missing. It is an experience. The whole thing: the food, the atmosphere, the waiters (and I found them quite nice and entertaining). Oh, and by the way, have the cheesecake!!

Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has announced introduction of 19 new trains, extension of three existing train routes and increase in the frequency of five trains. This is in addition to 106 new superfast, express, passenger, local/suburban trains categories announced by him when he presented railway budget for 2013-14 last month.
The Minister, who was replying to the debate on the railway budget (which was approved later by the House) in the Lok Sabha, said the new trains would be: New Delhi-Thiruvananthapuram Express (weekly), Hatia-Yashvantpur Express (weekly), Jodhpur-Samdari-Bhildi passenger (daily), Mumbai-Karaikal Express (weekly) via Chennai, Nagapattnam, Nagpur-Ajmer Express (weekly) via Bhopal, Kota, Nagada, Okha-Nathdwara Express (weekly) via Dwarka, Tata-Vishakhapatnam Express (weekly), Varanasi-Shaktinagar Link Express (daily), Chhapra-Anandvihar Express (weekly) via Jagdhatri, Sharanpur Bilaspur-Bikram Express (Bi-weekly), Raipur-Jammu Tawi (weekly) via Amritsar, Durg-Chhapra Express (weekly) via Ballia, Ernakulam-Kollam MEMU via Kottayam, Tandur-Secunderabad MEMU, Yashwantpur-Secundrabad (tri-weekly). The extension of train services would be for Thiruvananthapuram-Kozhikode Jan Shatabdi up to Kannur, Shoranur-Kozhikode passenger to Thrissur and Patna-Sasaram Express to Bhabhua Road.
About the increase in the frequency of trains, he said the Indore-Pune Express would run for four days instead of three days a week. The existing weekly trains Mangalore-Kacheguda Express, Lokmanya Tilak Terminal-Kochuveli Express, Puri-Ajmer Express via Abu Road and Karimnagar-Tirupati Express would be converted into bi-weekly.
He justified the recent hike in rail fares and charges and said the cancellation fees needed to be increased in a phased manner to keep touts at bay.
His Ministry would focus on spending "limited resources" on rail safety and better services during the year and modernise stations through corporate help. The railways would require Rs. 10 lakh crore for maintenance of rolling stock and upgradation of rail infrastructure and safety requirements.
The railway budget and the demand for grants were passed by voice vote, after the Opposition parties, including the BJP, Left, Janata Dal (United), Shiv Sena, AIADMK, Trinamool Congress and BJD, walked out charging Mr. Bansal of focussing only on the Congress-ruled States for new railway lines/projects ignoring the others.

Guest Post: Amnahs' Moroccan Meatball Tagine
Moroccan Food June 21, 2011 Amanda Mouttaki 12
Today's guest post is from a new blogging buddy of mine. Amnah is an absolute darling and I have really enjoyed getting to know her. She is a fellow contributor at American Muslim Mom and is the mom I wish I could be! You should really stop by her blog, Little Life of Mine for more food, adorable pictures and activities with her beautiful girls. Connect with Amnah on her site, Twitter or Facebook.
Visiting Morocco has been on the top of my travel wish list for as far back as I can remember. In fact it comes in at number one, two, and three, just in case if my husband ever doubts my desire to travel there. To me it is the ultimate destination that I believe would provide the romantic, historical, and adventurous aspects of an amazing vacation. The architecture and vibrant use of colors always take my breath away. I'm certain the atmosphere of Moroccan souks are just as movies portray them: exotic, mysterious, and a feast for the senses. The traditional clothing with it's old world charm is so beautiful that you just can't help but be taken back to another time.
It's when my mind drifts to the foods that I would consume there, my stomach begins to rumble and my fingers start to itch with the urge to start searching for a ticket to book. Plentiful and flavorful spices enhance every dish. Fresh fruits and vegetables jewel the plates with their natural colors. Couscous makes the perfect landing for a saucy tagine. All downed with a refreshing mint tea. Oh my, what's not to love?
I live vicariously through Amanda and her recipes. I enjoy her images from Morocco and hearing about her experiences. I've found a wonderful friend in Amanda despite never having "met" her. I pray our first meeting is in a busy and loud Moroccan souk. A fez may or may not be involved.
Moroccan Meatball Tagine with Herb and Lemon Sauce {via Cooking Moroccan}
½ onion, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons Italian parsley, roughly chopped
2 slices, crusts removed
1 egg
1 pound ground beef or lamb
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Herb and Lemon Sauce:
4 teaspoons butter or oil
½ onion, finely chopped
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons lemon juice
To make meatballs:
Put the onion in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Tear bread into pieces, add to the onion, along with the egg, and process briefly.
Add the beef or lamb, cumin, paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt and process to a thick paste, scraping down the side of the bowl occasionally.
Alternatively, grate the onion , chop the parsley, crumb the bread, and add to the meat in a bowl with the egg, spices, and seasoning. Knead until the mixture is paste like in consistency.
With moistened hands, shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls and place them on tray. Cover and refrigerate until required.
To make herb and lemon sauce:
Heat the butter or oil in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook over low heat until softened and golden.
Then add the paprika, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Add the meatballs to the pan, shaking so that they settle into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add most of the parsley and lemon juice and season further if necessary. Return to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes.
Transfer to a tagine or bowl, sprinkle with the remaining parsley, and serve hot.

Dean SchneiderJack Henry's back in a laugh-out-loud read inhabited by killer cats, giant tapeworms, and escaped convicts. This latest installment of Jack's saga, which relates the events of Jack's fifth-grade year, is full of scenes you can't resist reading aloud to anyone willing to listen (such as the one in which Jack feeds his sister a giant cockroach named Zippy, or watches his father gorge himself on a seventy-two ounce steak shaped like the United States, or finds himself locked out of his house wearing nothing but his best friend's mother's underwear). And if several scenes offend readers who don't share Jack's fascination with the rude and gross, that's okay; Jack's parents, teacher, and sister are on hand to teach jack good manners and judgement and to help him grow up, or at least to keep him from being a complete moron. As in the previous three jack Henry book (Heads or Tails, Jack's New Power, and Jack's Black Book), to which Jack on the Tracks is a prequel, Jack keeps a journal. However, in this novel, the journal seems more extraneous, something Jack only mentions now and then. This book will appeal to the many fans of the Jack Henry series, and it can provide inspiration to young writers who will see how Gantos mined his own early school years for stories to embellish.

Be Tulum Beach & Spa Resort
Carretera Tulum, Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Mexico's prodigious natural gifts are, in some ways, a mixed blessing. So stunning are its miles and miles of raw, idyllic coastline that its hotels have historically found themselves quite able to get by on little more than location alone. That's changing now, of course; a new generation of impeccably conceived and designed boutique hotels is changing the face of the Mexican hospitality scene — hotels like Be Tulum, to take a not entirely random example.
The location, you may have guessed, is Tulum, a small town at the southern end of the Mayan Riviera, on the shores of the Caribbean near Cancún. It's as heavenly as you'd expect it to be, and Be Tulum knows better than to try to outshine the setting. Five "modules," each containing four suites, are spread throughout the property's gardens and palms. The pleasures are a bit on the subtle side — the modules are set back slightly from the beach, and the vibe is more eco/spiritual than purely hedonistic — but there's really not a poor seat in the house, as there are worse fates than being forced to bask in a jacuzzi or a plunge pool, watching the palms gently sway.
There's a beach club and a poolside lounge, both of which offer ample opportunity for socializing. And of course the rest of the Riviera Maya is not exactly short on nightlife. But Be Tulum can be as quiet as you want it to be. It all borders on the national park of Sian Ka'an, a coastal reserve that's a world heritage site and an ecological conservation project at once — a long way indeed from the bustle of the big all-inclusive resorts.
Be Tulum does not allow children under 12 years old.
How to get there:
Be Tulum is located approximately 70 miles south of Cancun International Airport (CUN). Please contact email@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

What I liked:
Friendly stuff, good ideas, nice beach.
What the hotel could do better:
The rooms were ina bad shape, need a refresh.
Theis hotel is absolutly over-priced, prices much too high for what is offered. Plunge pool very cold with no intimacy, avoid rooms on the ground floor, go for those with bathtub which at least have some privacy. There is just on room with with seaview so don't expect too much.

What I liked:
My wife and i recently got back from a weeks stay at Be Tulum and it was heaven. This hotel is at the end of the strip of hotels in Tulum so you'll need to either bike or take a taxi to most popular spots in the area. Beach is perfect with plenty of covered and uncovered lounge areas. Hotel has incredible modern design. Horizon pool with waterfall is a huge plus.

LETTERS: NCT, Sept. 6, 2008
Now, impulsive maverick McCain, in his first official act, selects a candidate for the base, a candidate with pathetic credentials. Here we go again!
Marilyn Miller
Obama has better approach to foreign affairs
Who better to deal with Russia? After the USSR collapsed, the United States: 1. decreased Russia's influence in countries on Russia's borders by accepting them into NATO, 2. supported the Orange Revolution to get a West-friendly regime in Ukraine, 3. set up missile bases in Poland, and 4. allowed McCain to interfere in foreign affairs, encouraging anti-Russian attacks via his foreign affairs adviser Randy Scheunemann, who as lobbyist for Georgia, conveyed McCain's support: "We are all Georgians."
A government's first duty is to protect its territory. How has the U.S. reacted against Cuba? There are no universally accepted rules about which separatist ethnic groups to support for statehood. U.S. seems to accept separation where it expands American interests (Kosovo from Serbia), but not otherwise, as in Georgia (South Ossetia), Iraq (Kurd and Sunni separation from Shia), Britain (Scots and Welch), Spain (Basque and Catalan), Belgium (Fleming and Walloon) and Canada (Quebec).
The future president will need to address these tough problems. Who best to come up with a solution? Barack Obama, who wants to explore dialogue and diplomacy, or John McCain, whose short fuse thus far has shown only a shoot-from-the-hip approach?

Homosexuality occurs in the animal kingdom
It is a convenient and oft-used charge that homosexuality is abhorrent because it isn't "natural," i.e., it didn't result in procreation and that it only exists in human practice without being present among animal species.
The fact is that homosexuality has been observed in animals by scientists for a long time. Until not too long ago, there was a kind of gentlemen's agreement not to report homosexuality in animals, which made it appear that homosexuality didn't exist among the Earth's animal populations. It's not true! The reality is that homosexual behavior occurs in more than 450 different animal species worldwide, and is found in every major geographical region and every major animal group. Read biologist Bruce Bagemih's book: "Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity" (St. Martin's Press, New York, 1999).
Evidently, the Great Creator, in his plan of creation, wanted to include same-gender sex so much that he made it occur â"â" even though it contradicts the idea that a species or trait cannot survive without reproduction. …
Harold Stidolph
Palin a disastrous choice
Yesterday was John McCain's birthday. If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever inaugurated. And after months of criticizing Barack Obama for inexperience, McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency a person who, until recently, was mayor of a town of 9,000 people.
Who is Sarah Palin? She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience. None. She is strongly anti-choice, and opposes abortion even in the case of rape or incest. She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. She thinks creationism should be taught in public schools, and she doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change. She sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears on the endangered species list â"â" she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.

Theoretically, yes. However, DMS would not do well with a large number of options like that. I can absolutely raise it for you if you'd like, but can't guarantee the generated options won't be confusing to navigate within DMS.

Coming up: How to pick your people
Estate planner Mark Levine joins host Bob Leins to discuss what to look for when picking powers of attorney, health care agents, trustees and executors.
June 1, 2015
Tammy Flanagan, National Institute of Transition Planning
The answer to the age-old question -- when's the best day to retire -- depends on a lot of factors, and most of them are personal to you. Tammy Flanagan, senior benefits director for the National Institute for Transition Planning, tells In Depth with Francis Rose why the question might not even be the right one for most people.
What's your number?
Even if your retirement plan consists of a couple of coin-filled Mason jars behind the refrigerator or buried in the back yard, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says you should to take the numbers test.
Leaving the TSP: Is that really a good idea? Or, engineering a 28 percent nose dive
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey explains what impact a recent Supreme Court decision will have on your Thrift Savings Plan.
What is the best date for you to retire?
Tammy Flanagan with the National Institute of Transition Planning will answer your retirement planning questions, including how to choose the right retirement date for you.

May 20, 2015
TSP aims for better customer service, participant education

How benefits, financial and tax planning coordinate with each other
Certified financial planner John Jilek joins hosts Bob Leins and John Elliott to discuss tax brackets, TSP distributions, retirement tax rates and more.
May 18, 2015
Carolyn Colvin, Acting Commissioner, Social Security Administration
At 80-years-old, the Social Security Administration is hardly retiring like the millions of Americans it supports. In fact, it spends a lot of time looking far into the future. Social Security recently released Vision 2025, a living document designed to outline how SSA can accomplish its three main priorities: Better customer service, exceptional employees and organizational innovation. Carolyn Colvin is the acting commissioner of SSA. She joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to review more about Vision 2025, and outline what else it can help SSA accomplish.
Tammy Flanagan, National Institute of Transition Planning
Some longtime federal employees in the Federal Employees Retirement System have access to the FERS Supplement. Tammy Flanagan, senior benefits director for the National Institute of Transition Planning, tells In Depth with Francis Rose when you should use it and why your FERS supplement is different from your Social Security benefits.

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Slippery Rock University's Association of Residence Hall Students is hosting the Central Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls No Frills Conference today through Sunday on the SRU campus.
In addition to Pennsylvania, the conference will draw some 140 college students and staff members from West Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
SRU's ARHS is a coordinating and activity planning organization for SRU students living in campus residence halls and the R.O.C.K. Apartments. The association meets regularly to discuss residence hall policies, campus concerns and to provide feedback to the Office of Residence Life. It also organizes and sponsors events on campus for residence hall students.
The three-day conference will make use of the Smith Student Center, Advanced Technology Science Hall, Eisenberg Classroom Building, Spotts World Culture Building and the Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn in Grove City.
The conference has been in the planning stages by SRU students, members of ARHS, for some 16 months. Twenty SRU students will also serve as volunteers for the various programs.
In addition to conference sessions, CAACURH will conduct its business meeting and present awards at the closing ceremony.
SRU students nominated for awards include:
Kristen Klein, a chemistry major from Volant who lives in Rhoads Hall, is a member of the SRU Marching Band and is actively involved in Rhoads House Council and ARHS. She was nominated for the First Year Experience Award.
Hannah Malloy, a psychology major from Gibsonia, who lives in Building B has been actively been involved in ARHS, serving as the conference chair for the conference, and actively involved in her department. She was nominated for the Distinguished Service Award for her four years of dedication to ARHS.
The SRU ARHS chapter was nominated for the Residence Hall Association Building Block of the Year Award as a way of showing how the organization has grown over the past year.
"This is a great opportunity, not only for this organization, but for the University as a whole," Malloy said. "It puts Slippery Rock University out there on a regional and national level. ARHS members are excited about this weekend's events and hopes if you see our guests around campus, you welcome them to The Rock."
Slippery Rock University is Pennsylvania's premier public residential university. Slippery Rock University provides students with a comprehensive learning experience that intentionally combines academic instruction with enhanced educational and learning opportunities that make a positive difference in their lives.

Neo GeoThe Video Game Critic
The animation rivals SF2 and the nicely-rendered backgrounds feature interesting animations and breakable props. A wide range of exotic locations are represented, including an Asian temple, a tranquil waterfall, the stage of a rock concert, and an African savannah with animal spectators. The scenery changes slightly between rounds, often reflecting day turning into night. My personal favorite is the magnificent city night skyline - it has a real Streets of Rage vibe. Karnov's audio is also high quality, offering numerous voice samples and well-composed background music that increases in tempo as a round nears conclusion. One original aspect of the game is how parts of fighter's outfits can break off, like a chest protector or mask. This triggers a cheesy "boing" sound effect, indicating your foe is dazed. There aren't many surprises, but if you appreciate one-on-one fighters, the overall quality of Karnov's Revenge is hard to deny.
Neo GeoGamePro (US)
FH Dynamite/KR is a fun fighting game that uses speed and solid action to keep you occupied. But it still lacks the likable characters and deeper, more complex action of the six button Super SF II Turbo. Light this one's fuse for a while, then get out of the way.
Neo GeoConsoles Plus
Dans l'absolu, Karnov's Revenge est un bon jeu de combat. Mais, vu son prix exorbitant et la qualité des concurrents, il ne vaut pas le coup.
Neo Geo CDElectric Playground
The fighting game with the identity crisis. Say, has anyone else noticed this game bears more than a passing resemblance to oh, about a million other fighting games. Which is not to say that Karnov's Fighter's Dynamite is a bad game by any stretch, SNES fighting fans wish they had it this good, but it is definitely in the weak stack of Neo Geo discs.
Neo GeoDigital Press - Classic Video Games
This is a decent brawler, certainly better than some of the fighters on the system. It breaks no new ground nor does it even try to, but entry level players will find some enjoyment and the solid gameplay just might give the hardcore crowd a nice flashback. It's an improvement from the original, with the usual array of upgrades a fighting game sequel should contain.
WiiNintendo Life
Data East borrowed many facets of Capcom's Street Fighter 2 release, but for some reason it wasn't able to implement them with the same level of quality. The weak point and one-two attacks are a nice twist, but even they don't seem to be enough to lift the game any higher than many of the other average one-on-one fighting games released on the Neo Geo system. Unless you just can't get enough Street Fighter 2-style fighting action, you might want to pass on this one especially considering that there are plenty of superior Neo Geo fighting games already available on the Virtual Console.

On My Elusive Galaxy Note 10.1 Review
I know that many of our readers have been expecting my review since I got the Samsung Galaxy Note last month. Frankly, if I were a reader, I would have expected the review to have been published weeks ago too, but sadly certain factors have prevented that from happening yet.
You won't have to wait much longer though, as I will start working on it in earnest and I will be answering questions from the Note 10.1 unboxing post.
I also want to apologize for not paying much attention to that thread, I have been very busy with studies lately. Thanks for understanding. Review on the way!

The Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, Matanzas River, have created some truly gorgeous spots along the bay in St. Augustine Florida. Its no surprise that for centuries St Augustine, Florida has been a hub for arts and cultural endeavors. Home to many fascinating museums, emporiums and art galleries, the city has inspired some of the most famous artists of our time. Our St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast is located right in the historic, walking and shopping district. We are convenient to St. George Street and Aviles Street, two historic streets in the Old City that contain numerous St Augustine art galleries and antique dealers. Several of them have been in business for more than 50 years.
There are five amazing art galleries on Aviles Street; including the Georgia Nick Gallery and the Aviles Street Gallery. This is quite the charming area for our guests to explore to see a variety of original art, historic museums and enjoy dining at outdoor cafes all on the nation's oldest street.
In addition to the numerous St Augustine Art Galleries, the Old City is also home to some renowned museums, including The Lightner Museum. Commonly referred to as the "Smithsonian of the South" the Lightner Museum is one of St Augustine's most noted attractions. The museum's structure originally housed Henry Flagler's historic Alcazar Hotel, one of Florida's first major resort hotels. Built in 1888, the building is one of the city's most beautiful buildings with its unique architecture and manicured landscaping. Spend the day touring The Lightner Museum and don't miss the "Splendors of the Gilded Age" collections from St. Augustine's heyday in the Victorian period. For more information on the city's early resort history, read our St. Augustine Florida History page and visit the Florida Heritage Museum. The Old St Augustine Jail is the home of the heritage museum and the jail itself is a very unique St Augustine Attraction. Built by Henry Flagler during St Augustine's Golden Era, the Old St Augustine Jail's building resembles a large, grand hotel. Visitors young and old get a kick out of touring the sheriff's quarters and prisoner's cells. Lastly, two unique museums, Ripley's Believe or Not and the Potter's Wax Museum are two unconventional types of museums to tour in St. Augustine. Ripley's Believe or Not houses Robert Ripley's strange artifacts and findings from his travels, and the wax museum was America's first wax museum! Visit and see over 160 wax figures including some of the most famous celebrities of our time!

Heavenly Sounds
Question: Why do liberal atheists, who wouldn't walk into a Lutheran church on Sunday if you paid them, suddenly go all Christ-loving when a place such as the Knight Concert Hall hosts Gospel Sundays? Answer: It's the music. The fact is some of the best pipes in the history of American music came out of the church: Mahalia Jackson, Bessie Griffin, Paul Robeson, Johnny Cash, and, yes, Whitney Houston (when she wasn't doing blow with Bobby). The left might be biased against religion, but it's equal opportunity when it comes to vocal styling. And who has more skills than seven-time Grammy winner CeCe Winans? Joining her onstage this Sunday at 4 p.m. will be the choir from the Cooper Temple Church of God in Christ, which is also debuting its new album, In the Upper Room. To round out the high-minded trifecta, there will be a screening of Sunday's Best, a locally made film about Miami's most famous church hats. Best of all, the concert is free.

We love to use these type of leashes over a standard leash whenever possible. They offer so much freedom to your pet without actually being off the leash.
Pros: You can buy in different lengths
Cons: Limited colors

Good for small dogs
posted 6 years ago
I like this leash as it is retractable and is light weight. and it comes in different colors. The dogs seem to like it as it gives them a little more freedom to run than a normal leash.
Pros: retractable
Cons: can get knots

Everything about Jonah Gray screams success: movie-star good looks, expensive clothes, a Park Avenue penthouse, and a seven-figure income. A cutthroat, rainmaking New York City commercial real-estate broker, Jonah craves opulence and power. He beds models, romps the globe on the weekends, and sees the world as his for the taking. Jonah Gray has it all. Or at least he had it all.
When a friend presents Jonah with the deal of a lifetime, Jonah jumps at the chance. All Jonah has to do is act quickly, invest half a billion dollars in prime New York office buildings, and collect a huge payoff. But this golden opportunity is anything but. Within days of signing on, Jonah is mysteriously thrust into the epicenter of an international and personal scandal.
Forced to explore a whole new territory where he can trust no one, and where danger, death, and deception lurk at every corner, Jonah will learn some painfully hard lessons about the quest for easy money.
Closing this deal could mean losing everything.

10. Warsaw (Poland) -29C
A favourite of Europe's culture vultures, Warsaw has all the class at half the cost, when compared to other European cities. Praised for its compact size, Warsaw has an excellent selection of museums, galleries and heritage sites; cultural highlights including the Palace of Culture and Science - Poland's tallest building and an imposing example of Stalinist architecture - and the Polish National Opera.

Monte Carlo is a memory now and Argentina was cancelled but there's been plenty to keep me busy!
I've been involved in some serious media training with the Peugeot UK PR agency (I knew they'd pick something up!) and my new ride has arrived - a very swish black Peugeot (of course) RCZ! Very nice!!
I acquired a go-kart track in the North East of England close to home, recently, too and it's great for tarmac practice. I can see some serious abuse of practice sessions…
Peugeot UK are keen to keep me on top of my fitness regime, too, and have just sent me a nice glossy brochure of all their top notch bikes for me to pick from! Can't wait to start pedalling! Must run for now but keep checking this section to find out what Phil and I are up to between rallies this year and for more information about Peugeot and the 207!

UPDATE: this blog post is out of date. Please review this instead.
If you've been paying attention to what the Entity Framework team has been saying. You will remember hearing us talk about using the Entity Data Model (EDM) as a common way of describing models that can be understood by many different applications.
As of V1, the Entity Framework supports ad-hoc line of business applications. In the future though we also want to add extra services, such as reporting. To make this work we need to make a number of key extensions both to the EDM and the Entity Framework itself.
The first of these is Computed Properties.
The Reporting Model requirement, is the ability to create reports in terms of properties that are not mapped to fields in the database, but are instead computed.
Supporting this idea is then vital if we imagine a world where Reporting Services works over the EDM.
Computed Properties however are useful for more than just Reporting scenarios. What follows is the initial one pager (okay more like 5 pages) on the topic:
We want to support Reporting Services (and other customers too) that want to be able to have some properties of the entity be computed in the store.
Examples range from a Person's Fullname which is simply the Person's Firstname and Surname concatenated, to more complicated scenarios that use Navigations, and / or completely random eSQL.
In the EntityType definition a user creates a Computed Property, either with or without the help of tooling:
<EntityType Name="Person"> <Key> <PropertyRef Name="ID" /> </Key> <Property Name="ID" Type="Int32" /> <Property Name="Firstname" Type="String" MaxLength="50" /> <Property Name="Surname" Type="String" MaxLength="50" /> <Property Name="Fullname" Type="String"> <DefiningExpression> it.Firstname + ' ' + it.Surname </DefiningExpression> </Property> <Property Name="CreatedDate" Type="DateTime" ReadOnly="True"/> </EntityType>
In this example the "Fullname" property is computed using the eSQL included in the DefiningExpression under the Property.
The example given so far, is a special case, in that the eSQL in the DefiningExpression only references properties of the current entity. We can therefore deduce that there will be just one row and from the shape of the projection we can deduce there is one string column, hence we can safely assume this eSQL can be materialized into a single string column or property in the reader or object respectively.
However a DefiningExpression can easily produce multiple rows, either by using a NavigationProperty hanging off the current Entity, or by virtue of being a standard query with an undetermined set of results.
This means we need to also look at handing computed properties that return a Collection.
Additionally the eSQL can return more than one column, so the collection may not necessarily be a Collection of scalars.
Ideally then we should support a collection of ComplexTypes, Entities and perhaps even RowTypes.
An example would be this:
<EntityType Name="Person"> <Key> <PropertyRef Name="ID" /> </Key> <Property Name="ID" Type="Int32" /> <Property Name="Firstname" Type="String" MaxLength="50" /> <Property Name="Surname" Type="String" MaxLength="50" /> <Property Name="Fullname" Type="String"> <DefiningExpression> it.Firstname + ' ' + it.Surname </DefiningExpression> </Property> <NavigationProperty Name="Friends" Relationship="FriendShip" FromRole="FriendOf" ToRole="Friend" /> <Property Name="Acquaintances" Type="Collection(String)"> <DefiningExpression> SELECT VALUE f.Fullname FROM it.Friends AS f </DefiningExpression> </Property> </EntityType>
In this example Acquaintances navigates through a navigation property "Friends", which returns a Set, so the result is a set of the projected Fullnames.
Another way of writing the calculated property that hard-codes the target set in the model would be:
<Property Name="Acquaintances" Type="Collection(String)"> <DefiningExpression> SELECT VALUE f.Fullname FROM [Person] AS P, P.Friends AS F WHERE P.ID = it.ID </DefiningExpression> </Property>
This approach is not to be recommended because it mixes the Entity structure with the extents or entitysets, which of course won't work well with MEST.
Incidentally there is an unrelated proposal for RS to extend eSQL to make it possible to express the above in this simplified syntax
<Property Name="Acquaintances" Type="Collection(String)"> <DefiningExpression> SELECT VALUE P.Friends..Fullname FROM [Person] P WHERE P.ID = it.ID </DefiningExpression> </Property>
Note if in the future '..' notation is supported in eSQL, then it should be a no-op on our end to support this too:
<Property Name="Acquaintances" Type="Collection(String)"> <DefiningExpression> it.Friends..Fullname </DefiningExpression> </Property>
You can also imagine a query that doesn't use "it" at all, and is completely hardcoded:
<Property Name="TopGuns" Type="Collection(String)"> <DefiningExpression> SELECT VALUE f.Fullname FROM [Person] AS P WHERE P.Firstname IN {'Colin', 'Kati'} </DefiningExpression> </Property>
Computed properties that return a single scalar value are treated the same as normal properties, the only difference is that they are read-only, which probably only means that the ObjectStateManager needs to ignore changes to these properties rather than making them impossible to change altogether by removing the Setter.
For Collections of Scalar types the Property should be a IEnumerable<T>, i.e. in the Acquaintances example above there should be a IEnumerable<String> property called Acquaintances on the entity. Again changes should be ignored.
The eSQL in the DefiningExpression can easily project multiple columns so we need a way of setting the type of Property accordingly. There are only 3 real options: Entities, ComplexTypes and RowTypes.
In this example we reverse a navigation property as a computed property, and return a collection of Person entities. I.e. the People who have the current person as a friend:
<Property Name="FriendOf" Type="Collection(Person)"> <DefiningExpression> SELECT VALUE p FROM [Person] AS p, p.Friends AS f WHERE f.ID = it.ID </DefiningExpression> </Property>
The query itself it unimportant, what is important, is that we are returning a set of Entities. Likewise we could do something similar to return a list of ComplexTypes:
<Property Name="FriendsAddresses" Type="Collection(Address)"> <DefiningExpression> SELECT VALUE f.Address FROM it.Friends f </DefiningExpression> </Property>
If we use a navigation property that returns a single Entity then you could do something like this too:
<Property Name="MaternalGrandmother" Type="Person"> <DefiningExpression> it.Mother.Mother </DefiningExpression> </Property>
Or a single ComplexType:
<Property Name="MothersAddress" Type="Address"> <DefiningExpression> it.Mother.Address </DefiningExpression> </Property>
Ideally we should support, both single and Collections of both Entities and ComplexTypes.
Random projections (i.e. RowTypes) are much more difficult.
If they can be coerced into a wellknown shape by property name matching then it might be possible to project into ComplexTypes. But if not, then there is no O-Space equivalent of a RowType that is appropriate.
Including an FK in the structure of an Entity:
<EntityType Name="Person"> <Key> <PropertyRef Name="ID" /> </Key> <Property Name="ID" Type="Int32" /> <Property Name="Firstname" Type="String" MaxLength="50" /> <Property Name="Surname" Type="String" MaxLength="50" /> <Property Name="MotherID" Type="Int32"> <DefiningExpression> it.Mother.ID </DefiningExpression> </Property> <NavigationProperty Name="Mother" Relationship="Mother_Child" FromRole="Child" ToRole="Mother" /> </EntityType>
Note: While this is a handy, we should not confuse this with a solution to requirement for collocation of FK data, because as mentioned previously calculated properties are always read-only and we need a read-write solution to the collocation problem, to allow setting the FK in the Entity directly.
DefiningExpression is something we will probably use for C-Side Functions (i.e. functions defined in Entity Data Model in the CSDL). So it makes sense to re-use this term, in order to keep the CSDL vocabulary and mental load smaller.
Also today we already have DefiningQuery in the storage model and QueryView in the mapping, so re-using either of those terms could easily lead to confusion.
Also and perhaps most interestingly, if we interpret the eSQL as a expression, then:
1 => int
Whereas if we interpret as a query:
1 => Collection(int)
This former has useful semantics because we can call functions in the eSQL fragment and declare that the property has a scalar return type rather than a Collection(scalar) return type.
I for one would love to hear your thoughts.

Maily wants to be your child's first email app
August 3, 2012
At what age should a child have an email address of their own? It's a difficult question to answer ... sure it would be nice for kids to be able to send Gran a picture they've drawn, but would they know not to trust that Nigerian prince and his offers of riches? Well, Maily might be the solution. It's an iPad app which gives children from the age of four a simple and secure email account which is managed and monitored by their parents. Read More
We've seen several products which turn your touchscreen devices into children's toys, from the iTikes range to the SmartPet toy dog ... but what if you don't want to encourage your little one to play with your iPad? VTech is about to release the InnoTab 2, its latest tablet computer for kids, which features a five-inch touchscreen, camera, video and MP3 players … but is that enough to keep little fingers off your iPad? Read More
Any parent knows that irrespective of what engaging and exciting toys you buy for your children, they will always be more interested in your mobile phone or tablet computer. It's an inescapable fact of modern day parenting. With this in mind, toy firm Little Tikes has revealed a range of iPhone-friendly toys which can connect with your iOS devices. Read More
Hard though it may be for most of us to believe, it is possible for parents to forget that they're driving with a baby in the car. If they subsequently leave the infant locked in a very hot or cold parked vehicle for several hours, the results can be deadly. That's why Baby Alert International is offering the ChildMinder Infant-Toddler Elite Pad System – it's a setup that notifies absent-minded parents if they try walking away from their car, sans baby.

If you're anything like us, you probably spent many an hour in your younger days bouncing up and down on a seesaw (or teeter-totter or teeter board, depending on where you grew up. And, even now, you might fight the desire to relive your childhood and jump on one as you walk past a playground. But Melbourne-based design group ENESS has created a seesaw, which comes complete with hundreds of LEDs and a physics engine to explore the forces at work on the familiar playground staple, that might just prove too difficult to resist.

It's said that dogs are man's best friend, but in recent years it feels like pooches have lost this role to ever-present and reliable smartphones. So, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that someone has combined the two. The SmartPet is a toy which, with the addition of your iPhone, becomes a cartoon-faced pet dog robot. Read More
The latest Toyota concept isn't debuting at the Tokyo Motor Show; it's debuting at the International Tokyo Toy Show. Without the benefit of a background reference, the Camatte concept looks like it could be a new subcompact car. In a way, it is, but it's not designed for the average commuter. It's a working car designed for kids. Read More
It's hard to believe how many classic children's toys are getting modern makeovers these days - from the Etch A Sketch to toy helicopters to footballs - and now it looks like even the playground swing set is getting a slight upgrade with the Son-X Octavia. When attached to any swing, the Son-X will play different sound bites depending on how high or long a child swings, encouraging them to go higher. Read More
As any sleep-deprived parent will tell you, there's nothing quite like the joy of seeing your precious newborn drift off to sleep in a safe environment … if only because it means you might get a few minutes' rest yourself. As such, there are countless products on the market which promise to help you achieve this almost mythical state of sleep, and soon there could be one more - a hypoallergenic bowl-shaped baby bed.

Etcher brings Etch A Sketch to the iPad
By Dave Parrack
May 13, 2012
Even those of us who live for new technology and the wonders it brings cannot escape the power of nostalgia. Being reminded of a toy that fascinated us as children can snap us back to those heady days when stress meant not getting everything you asked for from Santa. This is the feeling that the people behind Etcher are hoping to capitalize on - it's an Etch A Sketch for the iPad. Read More

|PIDECα: photon intermediate direct energy conversion using the alpha emitter polonium-210
|Weaver, Charles L., III
nuclear battery
energy conversion
gas fluorescer system
photon transport efficiency
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This work details the development of two proof-of-concept Photon Intermediate Direct Energy Conversion systems using the α-emitter Po-210 (PIDECα). Ch. I begins with a short history of nuclear battery development and then describes the expansion nuclear battery technology. It includes a review of recently published alphavoltaics in the literature, some shortcomings they exhibit, how these can be avoided with PIDEC, and the previous results seen with PIDEC systems. Ch. II describes the radioisotope sources used in the literature and compares their relative benefits. The remaining chapters discuss the fabrication and testing of the gas- and solid-state PIDEC devices. Ch. III reviews the theory of PIDEC and describes the models used to predict the behavior of the systems. Ch. IV details the design and assembly of the experimental apparatus. Ch. V contains the methods used to enact the experiments. Ch. VI presents the results of the experiments and analysis of those results. Ch. VII contains the conclusions drawn from the work and methods for improvement beyond the proof-of-concept phase. Both systems demonstrate the conversion of kinetic energy into electrical energy by PIDEC. The results of the gas fluorescer system are encouraging; photon transport efficiency was hampered as may be useful after some improvements. The Gallium Phosphide (GaP) results currently discourage application in long-lived batteries.

Tropical Cyclone 16s off Madagascar, Indian Ocean
February 19, 2013
Off the northeast coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, tropical Cyclone 16s appears to be trying to pull itself together in this series of true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images from Feb. 2003. On the 9th, the storm seemed more widely scattered, but the center point of the swirling mass of clouds could be seen taking shape. On the 10th, the storm had moved slightly northwestward, and while the eye of the storm seemed less pronounced, the clouds appeared to have solidified.
