If you use sign language to communicate and would enjoy watching the classic American play "Our Town," San Clemente High School students have a treat for you this week.
Select students in the school's sign-language class have memorized the play and will be on hand to interpret it for the audience Thursday when the drama department presents Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about life in a New Hampshire town in the early 1900s. Thursday is one of four nights the play will appear at the school this week. It opens Wednesday.
Teacher Andrea Buckman invited the most experienced students in the class for the live performance.
"San Clemente High School gave all of us a unique opportunity by offering American Sign Language as part of its curriculum," the students said in a collective statement. "As a group, we have spent between three and four years learning sign together. Our sign-language class has truly become a family. We definitely have some ups and downs, but mostly we have each other. Interpreting this play, 'Our Town,' has tested not only our sign skills but also our loyalty to each other."
We asked the students who will perform Thursday about sign. Here are their answers, forwarded through publicity volunteer Teri Steel:
Q. Is "Our Town" the first production the class has presented in sign?
A. "Our Town" is the first for this class specifically. But other classes through the years have interpreted performances at SCHS.
Q. What does it take to convert an entire script?
A. A very dedicated teacher and lots of time.
Q. How long have you had to work on it?
A. We have been working on it for about a month trying to get it right.
Q. How hard is it to learn sign?
A. Learning sign is more time-consuming and practice than difficult.
Q. How is doing a play different than the rest of your curriculum?
A. It takes lots of memorizing.

It was previously known that blood stem cells could be found in the dorsal aorta, but there were so few located there that scientists reasoned it could not be the sole source of blood stem cells in the embryo. Mikkolas discovery indicates that the blood stem cells are generated in the large arteries of the embryo and placenta, and then move to a specific site, or niche, where they expand and mature.
This recent study indicates that the first niche for expansion of blood stem cells is the placentas vascular labyrinth, where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged between the mother and the fetus. The findings show the placenta harbors two different microenvironments, one area where blood stem cells originate and another area, the labyrinth, that nurtures them, allowing them to expand in number. These niches serve different roles and could provide clues to researchers seeking to grow blood stem cells. Mikkola now is seeking to uncover the critical biological signals and cues during embryonic development that drive blood stem cell generation and expansion and keep the cells from differentiating prematurely.
The labyrinth is a source of many growth factors and cytokines, Mikkola said. We just need to identify what those signaling molecules and cues are that are nurturing those cells when in the placenta.
Mikkola is confident the study can be confirmed in humans.
Everything were learning suggests we will find the same thing in the human placenta, she said.

Every year in October, Japan's largest electronics show, Ceatec, showcases all that's new and upcoming from the world's sharpest consumer electronics vendors. Ceatec 2007 brought us some world-first technologies, including a 3mm thick TV, a laptop with super-charged graphics processing and some new high-definition video recorders.
Here are our picks from Ceatec and other new gadgets from the past month:
Sony Video Walkman with TV
Sony is adding mobile digital TV viewing and recording to the video Walkman it sells in Japan. The "OneSeg" system, as it is marketed, has proved a popular addition to many portable gadgets and can now be found on many high-end mobile phones, laptop PCs, car navigation systems and even electronic dictionaries.
The only difference between the three new Walkman devices with TV is their memory capacity. The NW-A916 has 4GB of memory, the NW-A918 has 8GB and the NW-A919 16GB. Compared to the most recent players the screen size has been increased to 2.4in from 2in. They'll go on sale in November in Japan only. The NW-A916 will cost about ¥30,000 (£130), the NW-A918 ¥35,000 and the NW-A919 ¥45,000.

i think the lesson learned is to not use these questionable gift card deals on subscriptions. use them on one time use things like products........
Edit: I also found a thread [spotify.com] from their official forums. It looks like they just disable your account. You do need to email them about this issue to get your account reenabled.

Just got this response from HTF Deals:
I'm sorry to hear you are having an issue with your deal purchase. I would just like to clearly stress - we did not initiate a chargeback or dispute of any kind. We are unsure of why this happened and are actively investigating the issue. Often times, our stock is bought in bulk from gift card buyback wholesalers like PJ and other public gift card buyback services. As it is nearly impossible for us to track down the original purchaser of your gift card, it may be hard for us to fully understand why a dispute was ever initiated. Though it seems like a small isolated issue, there is a possibility that a small number of cards we purchased were either initially obtained in an illegitimate manner, or they were sold and then disputed illegitimately to get their money back.
We're extremely sorry for the inconvenience and will do what it takes to correct the situation. As only a very small number of cards have been affected, we will happily issue you a replacement gift code. If you'd just rather a refund, we can take care of that for you as well.
Once again, we're very sorry for the inconvenience and are trying our best to get it resolved for you ASAP.
We appreciate your business!
...and patience

Anyone who has been there to Lincoln stadium, have you seen any fans fights lately? I know how to defend myself and have been boxing for a while. But the thing is I really payed to go and watch the game and have fun. I would really not like to fight or anything. So those who have been there, have you always seen fans fight?

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Toyota Avalon
By KBB.com Editors
The Avalon is Toyota's flagship sedan. One step above the popular Camry, the full-size Avalon offers a generous interior packed with so much luxury many owners consider the car to be almost Lexus-like. Entering what has long been the domain of the big three automakers, the Avalon offers full-size car buyers a modern, front-wheel-drive sedan with an impeccable history of excellent service, outstanding quality and best-in-class resale. Beyond its solid engineering attributes, the Avalon also offers customers a powerful yet fuel-efficient V6 engine, a huge and easily accessible trunk and a sense of style not found in traditional full-sized sedans, such as the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis.
If you need ample rear-seat space, Toyota promotes the Avalon's new "tunnel-less flat-floor design," which translates to rear-seat roominess. And if your financial future is a high priority, the Avalon gives you Lexus-quality materials at a price (and resale value) that says Toyota all the way.
The new Avalon loses its front bench-seat option, so if you need seating capacity above five, it's not found here. Also, younger shoppers might shun the Avalon because of its older-owner image.
All models receive a tire pressure monitoring system, while the Touring trim now offers an optional navigation system.
Driving Impressions In its new form, the Avalon has a personality even more distinct from the Camry, along with Lexus-like attributes. On good roads, the ride is generally smooth. Still, the relatively...taut suspension yields considerable harshness when encountering certain bumps and holes. Acceleration is sufficiently assertive, but the Avalon feels like a heavy automobile.
Safety Features
Seat-mounted airbags, side-curtain airbags and a knee airbag for the driver are standard on all models. Stability control is an option.
Reclining Rear Seatbacks
Standard on all Avalons, the five-position rear-seat recliners adjust from a 25 to 35-degree seatback angle.
Spacious and handsome, the Avalon looks inviting and feels comfortable. Extra width gives occupants another inch of shoulder space. Instruments are large and symmetrical, though smaller readouts are harder to see. Lustrous, generously designed woodgrain on high-end models helps make the dashboard attractive and distinctive. The glovebox is large, but sits low. A pushbutton starter is included with the Limited trim. You don't even have to hold the button in, just push and release. To entice younger buyers, the Touring model has a unique interior with a sportier charcoal dashboard trim.Exterior
As promised, this four-door sedan looks different enough from the Camry to attract a separate set of customers. Details count. Wide-opening doors have three-stage door checks to ease entry and exit. The back doors open wideto almost 90 degrees. Jointless flat windshield-wiper blades are half the usual thickness, and are said to ensure even pressure and reduce wind turbulence. Limited sedans have rain-sensing wipers and an acoustically-dampening windshield. Each trim level has its own wheel pattern: 16-inch for the XL and 17-inch for other models.
All Avalons use a five-speed automatic transmission. Anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) incorporate Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Steering wheel-mounted audio controls and dual-zone climate control are standard. Seat comfort is enhanced by reclining rear seatbacks and adjustable-length front cushions. Perforated leather upholstery and a moonroof are included in the Limited. The Touring model has leather-surfaced bucket seats and high-intensity discharge headlamps. All models include front seat side-impact airbags and front and rear side-curtain airbags.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is available for all trim levels. Touring, XLS and Limited models offer a GPS navigation system with voice recognition that responds to 200 commands, and Dynamic Laser Cruise Control lets you set the preferred distance you wish to maintain from the vehicle ahead. Three radios are available, including a JBL Synthesis 360-watt system with 12 speakers. Urban Avalon owners might be wary of it, but the dealer-installed remote engine starter works from up to 80 feet away and lets the engine run for up to ten minutes.
The Avalon's V6 may easily qualify as the best in the business. It's so silent at idle that glancing at the hovering tachometer needle is the only way to be sure the engine is actually running. Power for passing and merging is excellent, as are the seamless shifts offered up by the five-speed automatic transmission. Despite its ample size and quick acceleration, the Avalon possesses fuel economy figures comparable to some four-cylinder economy cars.
3.5-liter V6
268 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
248 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4700 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/31

"This car has provided me with safe, comfortable, and reliable transportation for the ten plus years of ownership. Other than oil changes and a couple of brake jobs the car has required very infrequent maintenance. The power steering pump ($400+) and the steering rack ($900 rebuilt) needed to be replaced after about 130,000 miles were the only real repairs during my span of owning this. The car is a comfortable highway cruiser and it handles very predictably, but it's definitely not sporty. My real world gas mileage has ranged from 21 to 29 mpg. The premium JBL sound system has the clearest sound and frequency distribution I've experience of any car I've ever been in."

Justin Bieber pledges to 'try better' after alleged marijuana smoking photo published
US gossip website claims the picture they obtained shows the pop squirt smoking marijuana
US gossip website, TMZ, claim the pictures they have obtained from an anonymous source shows the teen pop star "clutching a smouldering blunt" while at a party inside a hotel room in Newport Beach.
Since the photos were published, Bieber has taken to Twitter to speak directly to his fans, many of whom are young, in a bizarre series of emotional tweets that appear to be in relation to past wrongdoings. However, he doesn't directly refer to the alleged weed smoking photos.
He tweeted:
everyday growing and learning. trying to be better. u get knocked down, u get up.— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) January 5, 2013
According to TMZ, Lil Twist, a rapper friend of Justin Bieber's, was with the pop star in his hotel room when the pictures were taken. The photos were allegedly taken the day after a photographer was killed trying to take a picture of Bieber's white Ferrari. Lil Twist was driving the car which was pulled over for speeding, providing a photo opportunity for the photographer who was then fatally knocked down at the side of the road.
Since the accident, Justin Bieber has called for tougher laws involving paparazzi photographers.

Ateneo, La Salle begin UAAP volley title clash
LA SALLE vies to showcase its full strength anew when the Lady Archers battle rival Ateneo in Game 1 of the UAAP women's volleyball championship today.
Riding on a remarkable 14-game winning streak, the Lady Archers aim to zero in on their bid for a third straight crown in the 4 p.m. match where another huge crowd is expected to fill Smart Araneta Coliseum to the rafters.
"We're ready for the championship," said La Salle's sophomore star Mika Reyes. "We've always been working on our organized blocking, which is our team's strength."
In men's action, defending champion Far Eastern University also seeks to claim the opener against National University in their own best-of-three finals series at 2 p.m.
La Salle coasted to the title round with a sweep of National University, 25-18, 25-23, 25-18, in last week's Final Four. Ateneo also triumphed in straight sets, 25-23, 25-23, 26-24, against Adamson in the semifinals.
Ateneo top scorer Alyssa Valdez said the looming graduation of its core players—including team stars Fille Cainglet, Gretchen Ho and Dzi Gervacio—has been among the team's motivation to spoil La Salle's bid.
"We've set our mind on how hard we work in practice," said Valdez. "We also have five players who are graduating, so we kept reminding ourselves that this is for our seniors."

2012 Cadillac CTS Performance 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
There are lots of things to love about the Cadillac. The incentives are what got me, the design, the handling, the power...
However, ALL of that isn't worth the car for one reason and one reason only. The absolutely complete MESS of navigation and especially the phone system.
1) when you get a call, the number appears on the DASH but the CONNECT button is on the NAV SCREEN and it pops up MAYBE 25% of the time. The audio voice will instruct you to hit a button, but when you do... nothing happens and you will lose calls ALL THE TIME. It CANNOT put your iphone contact list into its system (are you kidding?) and the "hands free calling" is worse than the Prius (which was horrific).
Style, interior craftsmanship, ride, handling, comfort, price
Key CONSTANTLY hitting your knee (and I'm an average 6 foot)
Sound system is probably one of the single WORST I've experienced in owning cars.
Hydraulic trunk that stays open!

Popular San Diego seals win reprieve from governor
San Diego Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger cast a lifeline Monday to a colony of federally protected harbor seals that spend their days lounging around a popular San Diego cove and have become the subject a lengthy legal tussle over their fate.
The governor signed a bill that adds a marine mammal park to the list of acceptable uses for the sheltered cove where the seals have lived for years.
The potential reprieve came just hours after a San Diego judge ordered the city to begin chasing the pesky pinnipeds from the beach by Thursday – or risk hefty fines – in order to comply with a 2005 order to restore the cove to its original condition.
A spokeswoman for the city attorney's office declined to say what the city would do now that state law includes a provision for the seals at the site. The spokeswoman, Gina Coburn, said city officials would hold a news conference Tuesday to lay out their plans.
Environmentalists rejoiced at the news and had high hopes for the seals at Children's Pool, one of two beaches in Southern California where harbor seals give birth and nurse their young.
The bill means that the city, which had planned to spend $688,000 chasing away the seals, has legal grounds to ask the judge to change his order, said Bryan Pease, an attorney for several pro-seal groups.
"Now it's clear that under state law the seals can stay," he said. "This is really a game-changer. This is really the end of the road for the anti-seal forces."
Before Schwarzenegger's reprieve, the city said it planned to hire someone to walk the beach with a public address system broadcasting the sound of barking dogs to scare off the seals, said Andrew Jones, the assistant city attorney for civil litigation. Force cannot be used because the seals are a federally protected marine species.
The issue is so hotly contested that the city had planned to deploy two police officers to the site to prevent interference by pro-seal activists, he said.
"There's certainly a lot of emotions revolving around this issue. We expect that this person could be harassed, even physically attacked," Jones said after the judge's ruling.
The city has said in the past that if the bill was signed it would likely declare the small beach a seal sanctuary and the City Council approved a resolution several years ago favoring the pinnipeds, Jones said. The seals attract dozens of tourists each day who watch them as they doze in horizontal rows and paddle lazily about the shallow, sheltered cove.
"The seals need rest each day. If they don't get their rest, their health will be jeopardized and the local community will also suffer a huge economic cost," said Dorota Valli, who coordinates a pro-seal campaign for the Animal Protection and Rescue League. "It's an enormous tourist draw."
At the pool Monday, about two dozen seals lounged on the sand in a light marine fog, oblivious to the legal tussle over their fate.

How do I do the ignite program while providing food for my family?
My children and husband will not take part in the program, but one of the beginning steps is to clear your fridge and pantry of all "evil" foods. Any tips on how I can begin the program and still have all that other food around?by: jessbon
by: andysmith
We ask you to get rid of the foods from your house so that you are in a safe zone. I don't know about you, but I'm much more likely to cheat at night and if there is food around. Having to leave the house is often enough to keep the cheating at bay.
You can do this without getting rid of the foods, you just have to commit that much more. Also, hopefully you will see such great results in energy that your husband will be interested in giving it a go.
Let us know how we can help! Ignite is great, I just completed 21 days and I feel great. I found that after the first week it was a lot easier.

My precious (6yr) DD seems to have increasing difficulty handling stress and dealing with her emotions. DD is regularly hitting, pinching, kicking, slapping and talking back (every other day or more). She needs alot of touch and is very anxious at home and at school (her school uniform sleeves are chewed up at the ends).
I've tried to create routine, structure, provide a healthy diet, a clean home, a safe place to express emotions and good examples of ways that she can do that without hurting others. I know that I am not the perfect parent, and try to read more on how I can hone these skills as well as talking to other moms I respect that know our family dynamics.
DD was in a very traditional and overly-structured school her first year (K1 here--at 3.5yrs). After that year we looked for a school that would butter fit with our AP values and give more movement and freedom to her day as well has providing quality instruction focused on truly educating and not entertaining. She has been in this school for (2) years and will be starting 1st grade there this fall.
DD's school is private and we like the family-environment that it gives. I just wonder with more responsibility and homework if there will be more punishment/reward that seems to so disempower my little girl. :( I know that one rule is that if they don't finish their work for class they can't go out on recess.
I have questioned whether the educational environment is really right for her, should I try to homeschool her for a year and see if that makes a difference? There really aren't any other options education-wise in our area. I've also thought alot if there is something I could change in our routine that would really help her through this?
It just seems crazy that a six-year-old would have anxiety to deal with--what about a carefree childhood?!
If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading. :)
Mama , DH , DD (05) , DS1 (09) , DS2 (12)
I don't have any suggestions but I didn't want to read and not respond. I came on here particularly today to look for similar advice. My 5yo dd is having some social issues as well. I'll be following along and I hope there is someone else out there with some words of wisdom :)
K, Momma to A(born still 8/22/00), DD A(1/31/06) and DS A(3/13/08), and Baby A (2/2/12)
could you pull her out and homeschool and not go crazy? I think a six year old not being allowed to do recess if homework isn't done is too much pressure. I would consider it ridiculous. I just think that homeschooling isn't always the answer either - you yourself can set her up to have just as much anxiety. Of course, I'm pretty anti-school in general and think kids should be allowed to be kids and learn in a completely unstructured environment, so I'm always going to fall on the side of taking your kid out. But chewing up the ends of your uniform? At six? You're right to wonder why her childhood isn't carefree. Honestly, I am pretty sure I didn't have homework in first grade way back when. I don't think I have any answers but I do think that often people stick with a bad schooling situation too long before making a change. I was just talking with some friends today who saw behavior problems in their four year old but stuck it out six months before making a change, then they sent him to a less structured program and he's doing really well.
What does your gut tell you?
Queer Parenting since 2007
Did she hit any milestones late, have sensory issues, ect? How are her peer relationships?
but everything has pros and cons
Thanks to all of you who have responded so far. :)
I haven't seen her exhibit signs that she has special needs. ?
She is beginning to read really well in Spanish and almost equally as well in English.
I don't know if this is a sensory issue, but she seems very oral.
DD's teachers say that she plays well at school, only one case of mild bullying with her as the receiver. Sometimes she says that she plays alone and once in a while she's said that she doesn't want to go to school because "no one wants to be [her] friend". I've asked the teacher about this and she attributes it to difference in choice of play (the slide, monkeybars, dancing at recess). At home, I've noticed that sometimes when a friend comes to play if they are too directive DD will just do her own thing or tease them. It's like it is her way of dealing with the social dynamic. I think this is just her developing still in her social skills and feeling out her assertiveness.
I've talked with her main teacher and next week I have an appointment with two other teachers and the director (K). I am hoping to gain a little more insight into how she is really doing at school and maybe some things that will help us at home.
DD did get tested for allergies/sensitivities and she came up with quite a few on the IgG panel. We have had her on an elimination diet for the past six months. At first I thought maybe some of the behavioral things were related to food b/c she had constant stomach aches. Her physical complaints have decreased significantly but her behavioral issues have not.
Mama , DH , DD (05) , DS1 (09) , DS2 (12)
to me a big red flag is her chewing up her uniform sleeves? she is struggling to find coping skills.
rather than look at the school and that her problems all arise from the school i would ask for a ped for a therapist eval. let the therapist guide you. so you may change schools but that's not going to take her anxiety away. the thing is she needs to learn to find coping skills when she faces that. and you have to give her space for that. the therapist will guide you with expectations from your dd. i suggest a therapist because they can look at the whole big picture and not just school.
i would also talk to the schoool psychologist.
how about other situations? does she get equally anxious about that too? is crowds too much for her? could she be overwhelmed?
special needs does not mean you dont keep up academically. you could be a 2e child that is profoundly gifted child but have certain speical needs like anxiety that can keep you from doing your best or holding you back.
carefree childhood is an utopian idea. that has never existed. children suffer from a lot of anxiety. some handle it well. many dont.
btw i live with a child with anxiety. she does not have huge anxiety issues enough to medicate or do play therapy, but it means since i am her 'pill' i have to stay connected with her all the time and figure out her moods and give her coping skills. now she is pretty good about it. she got a lot of tummy aches due to anxiety.
meemee--thanks so much for your insight. what you suggested really resonates with what i am seeing in dd and the dynamic nature of this issue.

Supreme Court questions warrantless GPS tracking
The GPS device helped authorities link Jones to a suburban house used to stash money and drugs. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison before the federal appeals court in Washington overturned the conviction.
The appellate judges said the authorities should have had a warrant and pointed to the length of the surveillance - a month - as a factor in their decision.
An unusual array of interest groups backs Jones, including the Gun Owners of America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the American Civil Liberties Union and an association of truck drivers. The groups say GPS technology is much more powerful than the beeper technology police once employed in surveillance.
Other appeals courts have ruled that search warrants aren't necessary for GPS tracking.
The justices are considering two related issues, whether a warrant is needed before installing the device or using the GPS technology to track a vehicle. They could determine that the installation requires a warrant, leaving the knottier issues relating to tracking to another day.
A decision should come by spring.
The case is U.S. v. Jones, 10-1259.

Colton started flirting with me the minute he got off the airplane. He kept hinting that he was a big fan of giving head. This made my ears perk up, since I'm such a blowjob enthusiast. When he sits down on my couch, I'm checking out his perky pink DSLs (Dick Sucking Lips), wondering how they're going to feel wrapped around my cock and it isn't long before I find out. Throughout my interview with him, his crystal blue gaze kept wandering downward and landing square on my junk. I offer to let him do a "real" casting couch interview and he smiles eagerly. He takes off his shirt and I get a good look at his round pec muscles, tattoos and bulging biceps. I wander over to him and he starts tugging at my zipper and belt buckle like a **** trying to get at a bone. He plunges my cock into his warm, velvety mouth almost to the base on the first go. Sucking happily, he occasionally flashes his piercing eyes up at me to make sure I'm enjoying his technique. As the bulge in his pants grows unmanag

29 Oct The 'Go To' List Special: Prepping for Sandy
Hey D.C.! With Hurricane Sandy making her way towards our neck of the woods we have compiled a list of things to keep in mind before her arrival. We all know how scary the wrath of a woman can be, so we want everyone to be ready for Sandy!
1.) Stock up on bottled water, medicines, canned food, cash, pet food and more. We recommend having three days worth of all these supplies, in case of power outages.
2.) Fill up your gas tank! Gas stations may experience supply shortage if power is lost.
3.) Grab a cooler! If you have perishable items pack your cooler with ice and place these items (meats, dairy products, etc) in the cooler to preserve if you lose electricity. Or group food together in the freezer to help it stay cold longer.
4.) Charge up your cell phones and lab top! If you should lose power make sure your phone and lab top are fully charged. Stay up to date with the weather and get ready for a couple days of Netflix and Hulu while we live life without cable! : (
5.) If you have your car parked outside make sure all of your windows are rolled up and you have your emergency brake on.
6.) Grab some wine, snacks and good company and get ready for the wrath of Sandy! Hopefully this will be a short visit!

Journalists still grieving over lives lost to storm 'Sendong'
More News from Ryan D. Rosauro
ILIGAN CITY, Philippines — One year on, remembrance still brought tears to the eyes of journalists who chronicled the tragedy spawned by tropical storm 'Sendong' on Dec. 16 and 17 in 2011.
"Scanning my file of photos, I could not help but cry," said photojournalist Richel Umel.
The flashfloods that drowned some 20 villages lying along the path of Mandulog and Iligan Rivers wiped out houses and killed more than a thousand people.
It was the worst disaster to have hit the city.
Umel was among those who responded to the disaster scene early morning of Dec. 17.
While shooting images of the massive destruction in Hinaplanon village, Umel froze and cried at the sight of people who had drowned amid the throng of grieving flood survivors.
"Images of tragic events I went through and witnessed since I was young, especially the wars, flashed in my mind," related the 53-year-old Umel.
"At that moment, I could not stand the grief," he recalled.
"Journalists face unusual challenges when covering violent or mass tragedies. They interact with victims dealing with extraordinary grief," wrote Joe Hight and Frank Smyth in the book "Tragedies & Journalists," published by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma.
It was doubly straining for local journalists who were also victims of the tragic incident.
After gathering information and images of the early moments of the disaster, TV journalist Ronnie Enderes remembers wading through the floods to get to his relatives in Barangay San Roque.
By the time he reached the area, his relatives were already on top of their houses.
"I was not mindful of the danger. My only focus was getting to my relatives," said Enderes.
Some 20 journalists suffered the brunt of the flashfloods in 2011. A broadcaster, Leonisid Emmanuel Alsonado, died during the disaster.
Another broadcaster, Angelito Kundiman, was flushed out to sea. His body has not been found until now.
On Sunday, local journalists honored fallen colleagues through a floral offering and candle lighting ceremony at the banks of Mandulog River.

Andre's work pointed to a fatty acid that occurs fairly late in the production process, coupled to a carrier protein (essential to making the oily substance soluble in water), as the key intermediate that puts the brakes on oil production. It's the first "desaturated" fatty acid - the first one with a double bond between two of the carbon atoms, formed after all 18 carbon atoms are added to the chain.
Then, knowing that this intermediate somehow sent the "slow-down" signal, the team sought to determine its "target" - how it actually inhibits oil synthesis. They knew from other biochemical feedback loops that the likely target would be an enzyme early in the synthesis pathway. But they wanted to figure out exactly which one.
To do this, they monitored the production process by labeling the intermediates one at a time with a radioactive form of carbon while also feeding the cells an excess of the "slow-down" signaling fatty acid. If the label from the intermediate ended up in the oil product, the "slow-down" signal had to have its effect prior to that step.
The first two experiments gave them the answer: When they labeled the first compound in the synthesis pathway, which is acetate, very little labeled carbon ended up in the oil and oil production was strongly reduced. But if they fed the second compound, labeled malonate, the labeled carbon quickly entered the oil.
"From these findings we concluded that the accumulation of the first desaturated fatty acid in the synthesis process inhibits the enzyme that operates at the first step, which converts acetate to malonate," Shanklin said. "That enzyme is Acetyl-CoA carboxylase, or ACCase."
The next step was to make extracts of the tissue culture and directly measure A

Tide rolls on with 32-13 win over Tebow's Gators
ATLANTA Mark Ingram and Greg McElroy sliced up the fearsome Florida defense and Tim Tebow finally met his match, no matter how hard he tried to fire up his teammates.
With an emphatic 32-13 chomping of the Gators, the Crimson Tide again stands atop the Southeastern Conference. More important, Alabama is just one win away from an even bigger title - its first national championship since 1992, led by a coach who believes in "The Process" instead of the houndstooth.
Ingram, making a strong bid to claim the school's first Heisman Trophy, rushed for 113 yards and three touchdowns. McElroy was 12 of 18 for 239 yards and a touchdown to show he's no weak link, and No. 2 Alabama rekindled memories of Paul "Bear" Bryant with the convincing victory Saturday.
Alabama (13-0) moves on to Pasadena for the BCS championship game. Tebow and the Gators (12-1) will likely settle for the Sugar Bowl, denied a shot at their third national title in four years.
When it was over, there were a range of emotions.
Nick Saban, the no-nonsense, process-oriented coach who needed only three years to bring Alabama all the way back from a miserable era, looked totally out of character as he leaped up to bump shoulders with Ingram on the sideline.
Tebow found himself in an unusual position, too: sitting on the bench and appearing to wipe away tears as the clock ran out.
The Tide led all the way, establishing its will on the very first drive. In the second half, Alabama shut 'em down, making up for its loss in last year's SEC title game.
"We didn't come here for a moral victory," Saban said. "Everyone had to buy into not to be denied in this game. To be a champion, that's what you had to do. I've never been prouder of a group of players."
Trailing 19-13 at the half, Florida took the third-quarter kickoff and came up a yard short on Tebow's third-and-7 pass to Riley Cooper. The Gators didn't know it at the time, but it was over.
Ingram carried it three straight times before McElroy went down the right sideline to Maze for a 28-yard pass. A silly penalty on Jermaine Cunningham - he shoved McElroy in the back two steps after the quarterback threw the ball away - set up a perfect throw and catch.
McElroy rolled to his right, stopped suddenly and lofted the pass in the other direction, the ball dropping right over Colin Peek as he extended his arms to haul in a 17-yard touchdown.
Ingram finished it off with his third TD early in the fourth, powering over from the 1 to cap an 88-yard drive - the Tide's longest of the season.
Tebow, who came back for his senior year in hopes of winning another title, was 20 of 35 for 247 yards but his last gasp was picked off in the end zone.
"It's tough. You know it's not how you want to go out," Tebow said, struggling to contain his emotions. "They were just better than us today, offense, defense, special teams."

Lord Howarth of Newport occasionally rebelled against their party in this parliament
Measures to reduce economic and social inequality in a One Nation Britain – Lord Howarth of Newport.
My Lords, is it not clear that the principle of equal access to justice is held sacred across the political parties as well as across the churches? Is it not equally evident, however, and curiously, that it is a principle not cherished in the bosom of the Lord Chancellor, the very person who we would expect to be the high priest of justice? The Minister knows the present Lord Chancellor, Mr...
My Lords, I add my thanks to the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, for tabling this amendment. I also thank him and other noble Lords for speaking in criticism of this statutory instrument. Their speeches have been principled, lucid and compelling. It appears that I may be the only non-lawyer to participate in this debate, and I hope it will not be regarded as superfluous or intrusive if I speak...

Green pastures & little villages
Take your truck and a map, and make a trip through the truly romantic surroundings of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, you might end up in Bad Windsheim's awesome Fraenkisches Freilandmuseum. Please take a look at my tip on the Franconian Outdoor Museum.

- Road Trip
Double Bridge
The Double Bridge (early fourteenth century) is a pleasant walk outside of Rothenburg.
It is found to the west of the walled town (use Kobolzeller Gate).
It was fortified just after the devastating earthquake of 1356 and formed part of Rothenburg's defenses.

The 1000 year old Church of St. Peter and St. Paul
This charming church located just down the hill from Rothenburg ob der Tauber is nestled in the quaint village of Detwang. This architectual gem was founded in 968 and is home to a beautiful alterpiece made in 1508 by famous Wurzburg Master wood carver Tilman Riemenschneider.

Spitalskirche and Spitalstor
In the very south of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, far behind Siebers-Turm (the tower you may see on most of the postcards from Ploelein) you may walk towards Spitalsbastei and will pass by Spitalskirche and the quite big hospital of Rothenburg.
You may walk inside the innercourt and will see some interesting old building next to the townwall.

a great entrance-gate behind St. Jakob church
Behind the church of St. Jakob you will see a large building, belonging to the church and when you get closer to it, you will see this beautifully decorated entrance-gate of that building.
When you enlarge my picture, you may see the fine details of these great sculptures.
I made a little picture-combination of the building and the best entrance-gate (the one of the tower). There is still another gate there that looks nice !

the old smithy dates back to 1649
This old smithy dates back to the year 1649 and is one ofthe most beautiful houses that you may see, when you walk on top of the townwall between Galgentor and Spitalstor.
Today the building is privately owned, but when you get there, you will still see plenty of the tools and instruments exposed there in front of the house and in that little terrace under the arcades of the building.
The beautiful guild-sign of this smithy is shown in one of my "Local custom"-tips !

Tilman Riemenschneider also in Franziskanerkirche
Franziskanerkirche is another important church of Rothenburg, but it might be easily overseen, as it does not have a high spire and it is almost a bit hidden by trees, when you walk in Herrngasse from Marktplatz to Burgtor. The most important work of art, that you may see there is an early work of Tilman Riemenschneider The altar shows Saint Franziscus getting his stigmatas.
The church is open during the day and you may enter freely and without restrictions !

St. Blasius chapel from inside
Don't skip St. Blasius chapel, when you are interested in romanic churches. Get inside this lovely church and take a closer look for the remains of the beautiful frescos !
What a pity this building was mis-used a long time as a lapidary-museum at the beginning of the 20th century.
The park around the chapel is also a great place to relax a bit from touristy Rothenburg. Ordinary tourists are obviously totally skipping this place !

The chapel of St. Blasius close to Burgtor
The chapel of St. Blasius is a small church outside of the "Burgtor" at the est-end of Rothenburg.
Inside that church you may see some great remains of romanic frescoes.
This building was built as a part of the old palace in 1142. It was partly destroyed by an earth-quake in 1356 and became a church in the year 1400.
Today it is a place to remember the victims of both Worldwars.
You may enter St.Blasius chapel freely and without restrictions during the day.

the old Casemattes next to St.Wolfgang
The old Casemattes (the living and working-rooms of the knights, defending the castle) is another quite interesting part of this museum in the north-end of the medieval townwall.
You may see a few cannons left and an interesting exhibition about the last days of WW II, when Rothenburg almost completely burned down after a bombing by allied troops.
At the first moment this sounds like an act of insane cruelty against such a beautiful old town without any strategical importance, BUT then you may also learn about the german General Weißenberger, who had the idea to make the city of Rothenburg his head-quaters in the very last days of the war, and about his oder to defend the city of Rothenburg untill the very last soldier...

The "Schaefertanz-Kabinett"
This was in fact a really nice surprise for me inside the museum , high above St.Wolfgang church.
There is a large niche in one of the rooms and behind a glass-wall you may see this lovely scene of dancing dolls in traditional costumes with the scenery of Marktplatz in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
You may insert 1 Euro and these puppets will start to dance, according to the music from the opera "Die Regimentstochter" by Donizetti.
All of these puppets are made of bread-dough, made in Neustadt bei Coburg in 1930. A similar such scenery that was built for a doll-museum in Neustadt bei Coburg was lost some years ago, when museum-mice began to eat the precious works of art...

inside St. Wolfgang church
St. Wolfgangs-church looks rather simple from OUTside, but it has 2 really beautifully decorated altars dating back to the 15th century with nice wooden sculptures.
This church is really worth to leave the beaten path of the big tourist-groups , who will normally totally skip this great museum and church.
In the back of the church you may climb up the spiral staircase to the Museum of sheep-farming and wool-production. One of the best attractions of that museum is shown on my next tip & picture : The "Schaefertanz-Kabinett"!
- Museum Visits
- Arts and Culture
St.Wolfgangs-church & Casemattes
St.Wolfgangs-church is an interesting place to visit next to Klingentor at the north-end of the citywalls.
Besides the old defence-church with 2 beautiful altars, you may see also the "Schaefertanz-Kabinett" , exhibits about everyday live of farmers, the old Casemattes and the places, where cannons were used in order to defend Rothenburg in the medieval times. See also my next tips for places of interest inside that museum !
The church & museum are open April till September

Drive to Rothenburg odt
This scene in this photo is the singlemost reoccuring image in my head that sums up the whole trip through Bavaria. Bird chirps and the slight trickle of a slowmoving river highlighted the sun drenched hillside pointellized with sheep chomping on grass clumps. This was just north of Rothenburg.
- Road Trip
Tauber Valley
When Rothenburg gets too much for you, why not hike through the Tauber Valley instead. From the Burggarden in town, you have this lovely view towards the village of Detwang (almost like Wetwang in Yorkshire, which we found highly amusing...) which you can walk to in no time. But the Tauber is a longer river than that, and you can find hiking- and biking maps to fill a week! The Taubertalradweg is a 120 kilometre biking path, and you can also do the 65 kilometre ride to Altmühlsee, or even all the way to Bamberg.
Going to Rothenburg by train, you pass along the Nature Park Frankenhöhe and the town of Burgbernheim, which is also a lovely destination. I have never seen as many birds of prey as along this stretch of track, so the park really must be a haven. The birds have found out how the train vibrations make rabbits and other animals come out of their dens and it is amazing to see how they use this trick.

ALM model for pension funds : numerical results for a prototype model
A multistage mixed-integer stochastic programming model is formulated for an Asset Liability Management problem for pension funds. Since these models are too difficult to solve for realistically sized problems, a heuristic is described. Numerical results for several instances of a prototype model are presented and discussed.

WALLA WALLA - For 6-year-old Jack Wanichek a lemonade stand isn't just a way to make money, it's a way to make dreams come true.
The soon-to-be kindergarten student wants to help children who are suffering from a life-threatening illness or have a life-altering injury. Children's Wishes and Dreams is a local company helping children in these situations have a dream come true. Friday, he made a large contribution to the company, banking over $850 in only 1 hours at his lemonade stand.
"I think it teaches him a good thing," said Staci Wanichek, Jack's mother. "He's pretty compassionate."
As he worked, his mother encouraged and helped when he needed it, greeting customers and helping serve lemonade. He has wanted to do this ever since they found the lemonade stand at an auction in May, she said. He even helped pick out the colors to use when decorating; his favorites: blue and red.
His art also appeared on the signs advertising the stand and the shirts worn the day of the sale. They included pictures he drew of children in hospital gowns representing those he hoped to help.
The idea of a lemonade stand began with Jack's sister, 9-year-old Allison Wanichek. Two years ago Allison set up a lemonade stand to raise money for the Blue Mountain Humane Society.
"He just wanted to help children who are sick," said Allison, who was also helping with the stand.
Jack wanted "to give them enough money to go on a trip," referring to some of the wishes fulfilled at Children's Wishes and Dreams, including a recent wish to travel to Disneyland.
Steve Wanichek, Jack's father and the owner of Walla Walla Builders Supply, provided the entrance of the store for Jack to set up shop. Family and friends, as well as customers going in and out of the store, stopped by the stand to pick up a cool drink on the warm Friday. Raspberry and regular lemonade were available for 50 cents a glass, though many people gave larger donations.
"It's wonderful," said Peggie Vandenberg, president of Children's Wishes and Dreams. "It's always nice when kids give to other kids that are seriously ill or have serious injuries."
Unlike other wish fulfillment companies, Children's Wishes and Dreams receives money from local sources and works only with children in the Walla Walla Valley. It also has different requirements; it fulfills wishes for children up to 21 years old, and it also works with children who are not terminally ill. Some wishes fulfilled include redesigning bedrooms and trips to various places, such as Disneyland and Sea World.

I've been using this foundation for a year and a half. I've tried to convince myself that it's a good foundation, but the reality is that it really is not. After discovering a better foundation, I have tossed away what's left of my bottle.
In terms of coverage I would classify it as medium. I think the reason why I continued using it for so long was because it feels relatively weightless on my skin, and isn't thick/heavy, but gave me the coverage I needed.
However, in spite of its coverage - this foundation does not give you an even skin tone. It is very noticeable when wearing it; you can see the foundation sitting on my skin, no matter how well I blend it and how well I moisturize/prime my skin before use. I found that it emphasized any blemishes or any slightly dry patches of skin I would have. It sat on top of any black heads I had, drawing attention to them as well.
I have combination skin - usually oily in the summer and can get dry in some parts as the weather gets colder. This makeup did nothing for my skin type. Rather, the foundation oxidizes terribly throughout the day, and it's staying power is horrendous. After applying this makeup in the morning, by lunch time my face looked like an oil slick (my skin is not even that greasy!). By the afternoon it had oxidized, and changed to a darker/orangey shade. By evening my skin just looked awful.
Finally, it does not come in a good selection of colours. The ladies at the counter have tried to match me with almost every one of their shades in my range of colours, and nothing suits my skin, which emphasized the fact that I'm wearing foundation.
I'm also not sure why it is advertised as an "acne solutions" foundation. It did absolutely nothing to prevent or help clear up the occasional breakouts that I get. I have discovered a fantastic foundation by Nars which gives my skin a lovely glow, looks completely natural and lasts all day. Ciao Clinique..your foundation is going in the trash!

This is a love-hate foundation for me. If i apply this allover my face it might look dry on some spots and make them pop as I have combo skin. But in case of a breakout this works miracles as it dries zits very very fast, I supose its because it has alcohol in it. I find the coverage decent and its buildable, the colour isn't an exact match but it adjusts to my skin and its ok.For someone who suffers from acne or has very oily skin I think it would be grate.

I bought this foundation hoping that it would even out my skin tone and not aggravate my skin because I do have acne prone skin, however I do not have any active acne; that is until I used this. I used this for two days in a row and I am left with 4 pimples. And they aren't small little ones, they are red and inflamed and very painful. Which is really unfortunate. However there are other things I did not like about it.
1) coverage was not all that great, it was sheer coverage.
2) didn't hold up on my oily skin for more than 1 hour.
3) oxidized throughout the day to a much darker color.
4) emphasized any flakes that were not noticeable before.
5) my skin felt parched during the day, yet an oil slick, so it dehydrated my skin making my skin overcompensate with more even more oil. not a good combo.
So I am going to pass on this one.

I am very impressed with this product :) I started off with a sample and eventually grew in love with this foundation! I do have acne here and there and this foundation covers so WELL! It's not like the any drugstore foundation where it feels super heavy, sticky or creamy on the face! It's actually has a soft finish to it and is semi matte and I swear, it covers acne extremely well for my skin! I barely have to use concealer because this foundation does such a great job at concealing! As far as the acne part, I haven't notice any change with improving or controlling my acne, but since I am very satisfied with this foundation on its coverage, I WILL BE REPURCHASING IT :)

I started breaking out recently and this is helping to speed up heaing for the tiny pimples I've been getting (I used to get cystic acne in my teens) a lot! I am on antibiotics right now to help clear up my acne for a few months, and so using this just straight on my skin dries it out a lot, but putting it over sunblock works wel. Produces an even skin tone and blends easier with hands than a brush. I would buy again if I needed to cover up my acne in a way that will look natural and treat it in lieu of a concealer since the variety of shades allows for a more natural look.

I was surprised to find that this foundation had a moisturizing, almost oily finish since it's targeted for people with acne. My skin is already oily so this foundation didn't work for me. The color was too orange for me. Will not be repurchasing.

I have up to 5 different foundations on rotation at any given time. Two of them are there on a permanent basis (LM and this bad boy). I do have very acne-prone skin and happy to say that for the couple years I've used this foundation I have never had a problem. I like the finish, the coverage ( some days I need a lot), the color match as well as the price. However, I'd be careful with it during winter months where it can dry up even oily skin.

I love this foundation and can't believe it took me so long to purchase it. I think it had to do with trying their skin care line which ended up being a big waste of money. I had written Clinique off for that as well as a couple of other things I had tried.
But this foundation! It goes on smoothly and covers my redness with ease! I am also perplexed at how well this works on my mostly oil, sometimes combination skin type. I do use a concealer on spots on occasion, but for the most part I can just use this foundation and I am good to go! I never leave my house without wearing something because I have such terrible skin (active acne, scarring, discoloration, rough texture in some areas), so this has been all I've reached for in the past 2 months of using it every day. I'm not out yet, but I can tell I am nearing the end. Anyway, I have used TONS of different foundations, from Revlon, Tarte, Stila, Neutrogrena, Physician's Formula, to Nars and more. I can't even remember them all, but there are a TON, let me tell ya! And NONE have compared to this. It is also so light-weight, I really can't tell it's there. I highly recommend this to anybody who has acne problems. My skin hasn't looked this good in a very, very long time (about 10 years and I am 25).
I am so happy with this. I won't be without!

I absolutely swear by this product. I've had it for over a year and I am just now nearing the end of the bottle and I definitely intend to pick up another. This is the only foundation that does not break me out. It gives my skin a flawless look that I've received several compliments on (and believe me, my bare skin isn't great). Definitely recommend it for anyone who struggles with acne.
