Parents who want their children to become humble and unselfish gift-givers will find this child gift-giving article helpful. When children experience the feeling of giving, without expecting something in return, their character, self-esteem and moral pride is strengthened. Below are some holiday gift-giving ideas that may help you and your child earn an extra special feeling this holiday season.
Teaching Your Child To Give
- During the holiday seasons, many schools sponsor gift-giving programs. Call your child's school to see how they can get involved.
- Each year there are hundreds of single parent homes where the single parent and child have no place to go to celebrate the holiday. Encourage your child to get involved with you in inviting this family over for a dinner or celebration together. Watch your child's reaction as he or she realizes that they have learned another way to make new friends.
- Some parents take their children to their local mall or shopping center that has a gift tree with paper ornaments that has a child's age, sex and gift ideas written on them. Children are encouraged to buy a gift for a child listed on the paper ornament and leave it gift wrapped under the tree.
- During these tough economic times, more and more families shop at Goodwill and other donation outlets to purchase their gifts. Encourage your child to go through their used toys, electronics and other potential items that they have and are no longer using. Donate the item to the organization that excepts donations for resale.

Mitt Romney's pointed criticism of President Obama's planned 2014 "transition" of troops out of Afghanistan has been dulled over the past week, marking a rhetorically subtle but politically significant shift in the Republican nominee's plan to end the decade-long war.
The Romney campaign denies any suggestion its policy has changed, but recent comments have opened the door for President Obama to question the challenger -- and deflect from broader foreign policy concerns -- during their debate Tuesday night in New York.
For months on the stump, Romney has warned that setting a hard-and-fast timeline for leaving Afghanistan would provide the Taliban and other insurgent forces with the upper hand in the fight to build and preserve the country's already tenuous democratic institutions.
Tune in to ABCNews.com on Tuesday for livestreaming coverage of the second 2012 Presidential Town Hall Debate in Hempstead, N.Y. Coverage kicks off with ABC News' live preview show at noon, and full debate coverage begins at 8 p.m.
But over the past five days, both Romney's top foreign policy adviser and his running mate have used softer language, suggesting that a new administration would take almost precisely the same course.
During his foreign policy address on Oct. 8, Romney dismissed Obama's exit strategy as a "politically timed retreat that abandons the Afghan people to the same extremists who ravaged their country and used it to launch the attacks of 9/11.
"I'll evaluate conditions on the ground and weigh the best advice of our military commanders," Romney said, before making a final decision about when and at what rate U.S. troops would come home.
His campaign has also pointed to statements made by then-Gen. David Petraeus and Admiral Mike Mullen to the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2011 suggesting Obama had removed surge troops from Afghanistan at a faster clip than suggested by military leaders.
But in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, before the vice presidential debate, top aide Dan Senor told Bret Baier Romney has "always been" on the same page with Obama and that he "supports the president's position."
"But aren't you saying that that's exactly the same?" Baier asked. "It's a calendar date on the page that gives the Taliban a date that they are going to step in --"
"Okay, so this is important," Senor interjected. "Governor Romney has always said it is a mistake to broadcast timelines, if you're the commander-in-chief, to broadcast timelines so our enemies are in the know about our next move."
The Obama campaign chimed in minutes later, accusing Romney in an email of playing "hide and go seek with their positions on issues of war and peace."
That night, during his debate with Vice President Biden, Rep. Paul Ryan made an argument similar to Senor's, implying that the Romney's complaint was less with the details of the current policy than the fact that it was made public.
"We don't want to broadcast to our enemies 'put a date on your calendar, wait us out, and then come back,'" the vice presidential nominee told debate moderator and ABC News senior foreign affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz.
Raddatz followed up, asking Ryan if he otherwise agreed with the president's plan.

3 Megapixel IP Indoor/Outdoor IR Dome Network Security Camera
1 of 1 people found this posting helpful
This camera comes with a lot of features but I think the title can be misleading. It can capture frames at 3 megapixels but as far as fluid video is concerned it maxes out at 1.3 megapixels at 15 frames per second and 720P at 30 frames per second so you really can't get a 3 megapixel video at a full real time rate. Also, I found the aiming and adjusting to be a bit taxing. Mounting was easy, but to move the camera other than an up and down motion you have to remove the set screw and clip and replace it when you have finished aiming laterally. On the positive side the video is a high quality output with decent detail and clear, sharp images. It also has on board infrared LEDs that give it a range of about 50 feet in total darkness. This camera didn't quite achieve my expectations when it came to resolution and frame rate; otherwise it's not a bad camera.

This is obviously an incredible video capturing camera at 3 megapixels. I figured when the megapixel cameras first hit the market that it would only be a matter of time until we started seeing their capacities increase and I have the feeling that time is here. Other than the fact that this camera has an outrageous resolution (which means a larger cleaner video with higher detail) it is basically like a standard vandal dome type camera. Easy to install, easy to operate. It has a 50 foot infrared mode range and that mode is just as clear and detailed as color mode. Security Camera King has kept the price conservative on this one and I would recommend it if you are looking for the maximum in high resolution video.

By: Abhimanyu Das
It's been an odd summer for Hollywood blockbusters. On the face of it, the seasonal slate was as homogeneous as ever, a numbing litany of sequels, remakes and adaptations accompanied by assaultive bursts of advertising. Each served as a pawn or advance scout in some huge corporation's decades-spanning content strategy, designed by committee to be a universally marketable "product" rather than a distinctive creation. And yet, the summer's output also suggests that the creative talent is figuring out ways to sneak scraps of artistry, individuality and wit past the restrictive walls of the studio template, and is doing so with increasing success. You might even say that many of this summer's big movies have been genuinely great.
Take, for example, the Marvel machine. Its by-the-numbers approach has come to represent everything that's wrong with big-budget filmmaking, each entry a bombastic teaser for the next. Then again, this year brought us Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. We can assume that no contemporary studio will allot a big budget to politically knotty down-and-dirty genre films like The Parallax View and Three Days of the Condor, 1970s spy thrillers whose influence is all over Cap 2. That didn't prevent its directors — Joe and Anthony Russo — from porting over sneakily subversive elements from those films, pitting a touchingly naive superhero against his own country's military-industrial complex. It's melancholy, cynical, occasionally even profound. Few of 2014's pop culture moments were quite as loaded as the one in which a despondent Captain America flees the bleak 21st century status quo to seek solace at a Smithsonian exhibit about himself, 70 years ago. By contrast, Guardians of the Galaxy was the yin to Cap 2's doom-laden yang, a Marvel product that isn't even a superhero flick but a delightful space opera that cross-pollinates Joss Whedon with George Lucas and has a tremendous time doing so. Stuffed with flawlessly delivered banter, ingenious world-building and endless visual inventiveness, it smacks of director James Gunn's scrappy B-movie roots.
This year's entry in the obnoxious "cash in on popular toy" genre turned out to be the summer's best family film. The Lego Movie took a hackneyed everyman-saves-the-world plot and buried it in a zeitgeist-tapping deluge of pop culture references. Another pleasant surprise was Edge of Tomorrow, a canny and often hilarious novelty that proves that videogame narrative techniques can translate to the movies.
Reboots didn't do so badly either. Another indie stalwart — Gareth Edwards — resurrected Godzilla for the post-9/11 era, combining found-footage tropes with immense scale to create what's been described as the first "post-human" blockbuster. The thinly written human characters take a backseat to monster mayhem set-pieces whose awe-inspiring imagery is loaded with both emotional and extratextual resonance. That said, it fades in comparison to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, a sequel to a …continued »

Update: A full video of the session is available here.
In 2006, I was a lowly intern at the Wilmington News Journal, one of Gannett's larger newspapers. I remember being impressed with leadership at the newspaper but frustrated hearing about the policies from "corporate," especially when it came to the digital side. Six years later, attending Gannett's annual editors meeting, I barely recognized the company. I was impressed.
Which is why I was honored to speak on a panel at the meeting with three "media disrupters" to offer the company an outside perspective along with my fellow panelists Christian Renaud, Jaime Spencer, Mark Katches, and moderator Mackenzie Warren. Below is a recap of my suggestions to the room full of editors (and for those interested in the rap version of what I said, old head Ryan Sholin took care of that):
Protect and grow the "passion topics" - Gannett encourages each of its news orgs to carve out a handful of "passion topics" in its communities. The local farming community may be a "passion topic" in the Midwest, but an editor in Detroit might opt for a focus on the auto industry. If a publication can create compelling and useful content that assembles a like-minded audience, they can do all kinds of things to add value to readers' lives while keeping the news product sustainable. At Technically Philly, we primarily used events.1 Some publications sell swag, premium content, or membership. However you make money, the first step is always building a community.
A renewed focus on design – I didn't mention this on stage, but the most apparent way traditional local pubs are falling behind upstarts is design. I learned that Gannett has centralized their design operations across a handful of off-site locations so newsrooms can focus on content. It's a smart move to gather the design talent in cities that creatives want to live so they can work with and be inspired by their peers. I'd empower these folks to experiment, especially online.
Take resources away from print ad sales and dedicate them to content marketing / sponsored content – We've started to see it at Buzzfeed, Gawker, Quartz, and Mashable: traditional journalists leveraging their talent to create content for brands that helps fund the news. Magid VP (and fellow panelist) Jamie Spencer made the point earlier in the conference: brands are throwing all kinds of money at trying to become publishers but are still playing catch-up to the capabilities of traditionally trained and battle-tested writers and journalists. Were I editor, I'd create a portion of my business dedicated to selling and fulfilling this revenue model. I've written about this phenomenon before.
Hire curious people – I wouldn't hire anyone who hasn't shown digital curiosity. I'd measure this by asking each applicant about their side projects. If a new hire doesn't have the urge to explore on their own time (when the barriers and stakes are nonexistent) how can I expect them be able to generate new ideas on company time, when the stakes are higher? Another observation from Spencer: If the news business is focused on innovation, why are we still requiring job applicants have previous newsroom experience?
Analysis and context over hard news – I'd mercilessly cut "Dog Bites Man" hard news that wasn't unique to my local area. It's notoriously difficult for an upstart local blog to compete with the depth of knowledge that a long-time local reporter has about their beat. As an editor, I'd want to tap into that wherever possible by encouraging my reporters to share their thoughts and analysis.
You have 82 labs – Gannett has 82 news organizations and, according to recent earnings statements, $250 million of cash on hand. That's 82 markets to experiment, and 82 markets to scale ideas.
Mobile – I was asked where can Gannett get ahead of the curve. My answer: subcompact publishing. In other words, leveraging stripped down mobile publications, push notifications, and a stable of quality writers to dominate the mobile newsstand.
Take complete advantage of "full access model" data- I kept calling it a "paywall." Gannett likes to call it a "full access model." Whatever you call it, it has the added benefit of collecting tons of info about subscribers including the reader's credit card number. Treat news like iTunes: when you have the reader's payment info saved you can encourage frictionless purchasing of larger "memberships," meet ups, conferences, and other value-adds that drive revenue.
Ruthlessly encourage idea generation – Require that each newsroom conduct one experiment a month by collecting ideas on a Google Doc. Once a month review the document with staff and decide on a limited experiment to test the idea. Don't be afraid to pull staff members off of normal roles. Make it a requirement that each idea have some sort of defendable business component, no matter how tenuous.
- We do the same at 99U, but it's not locally focused, so not as apt a comparison [↩]

Kanye West doesn't always tweet, but when he does, it's either a rant or something lovely. This time, it's the latter.

NEOMED and Hiram have a long history of collaboration, as evidenced by NEOMED's support in the founding of Hiram's Center for Literature and Medicine in 1990.
We will utilize that mutual interest in preparing practitioners for compassionate care-giving by capitalizing on Hiram's distinctive Biomedical Humanities curriculum, as well as new academic concentrations focusing on cultural, psychological and sociological characteristics known to affect health and wellness. Students will participate in engaged learning within community, research and clinical settings, connecting them to the populations they will later serve as practitioners.
This is a combined degree program which allows Hiram College undergraduates to apply for admission to the BA to MD program, which would include a reserved seat at NEOMED's College of Medicine upon graduation. This pathway was established with the specific aim to attract students interested in pursuing primary care medicine, or with an interest in serving in rural and urban medically-underserved areas, particularly in Ohio. Hiram College students will apply to the BA to MD program once they have attained sophomore standing. It is anticipated that 5 seats at NEOMED's College of Medicine will be available to Hiram College students annually.
Specific criteria for admission into the pathway and matriculation to NEOMED are under development. For more information, please feel free to contact:

Professor of Biology & Biomedical Humanities

If this looks familiar it's because we posted a radio rip a little while ago. Why did we do that? Who knows! No, actually it's because this song is a jam. Melding everything we like about Korallreven (sunny/dark moments of beauty) with everything we like about Victoria Bergsman (the voice of a whole crew of Swedish dudes who like relaxing!). Get the actual record right here, download this and put it on your preferred media player and pretend you're somewhere warm. If you're already in that zone, you can't have this MP3. We're mad at you.

THE world's first database of quartz grains from soil will soon be available to help police in England solve difficult crimes.
Peter Bull and Ruth Morgan at the University of Oxford examined more than 40,000 quartz grains from 1000 locations in England under an electron microscope and found about 40 types of grain. If the same combination of types is found in two samples, it's very likely that they come from the same place, they reasoned.
Bull used the database to help police investigate the deaths of two schoolgirls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002. The vacuum cleaner used to clean a car belonging to the man later convicted of the girls' murder contained the same combination of quartz grains as was found where the girls' bodies were discovered. Mud under the car also had a matching combination. "It might only be a few grains of ...

Are you in the right place?
You might be,
If you are interested in a hobby project to make and use your own
tool to check the sharpness of a blade that is in the type range of
razor-blades to carry knives such as utility, hunting, filleting,
tactical, chefs knives, kitchen knives, or small non carry blades
such as axes, removable blades in wood-working tools, and the like
If, when dull, you sharpen those knives yourself or have them
commercially sharpened
If you always wanted to know: how sharp is it? Is it sharper
than before I sharpened it or had it sharpened? Is it more or less
sharp than another knife I have (i.e. is my pocket knife less sharp,
just as sharp, or sharper than my Gillette razor blade?)
If you have (at least once!) changed your own oil or spark plugs
on your car
You might just be in the right place!
You are not in the right place if you:
...a.) think the numbers on your cars speedometer "don't really mean anything".. , b.) are a professional in the biological sciences and want to know how sharp your microtome blade is, or c.) if you think YouTube videos that show "knife experts" slicing phone book paper "tells me everything I need to know.."..

Future versions of the open source operating system will include more support for business users, suggested Andy Rubin, vice president of engineering at Google. Android currently does not support many enterprise applications, Rubin acknowledged, but he indicated that development of the OS could refocus on the enterprise before the year is out. If Google aims to succeed in that endeavor, though, Android will have to catch up in two critical areas. (General)

WrestlingINC: It's crazy to look back at the guys who came from WCW who were there at the end. Really the only guys that had real success with longevity were you and Booker T.
Helms: Yeah, I'd throw Chavo in there too. We were the WCW three. Politics aside, the cream usually does rise in the business and we survived; we survived all the nonsense.
WrestlingINC: You were the Hurricane. That gimmick lasted a long time. Was it because you were a fan of the Green Lantern?
Helms: I was a comic book fan. I liked the idea; the Green Lantern symbol means willpower and I was the small guy on the wrestling team, small guy on the football team so the willpower thing was just something I liked. Yeah, I'm a Green Lantern fan but that was the reason I got the tattoo.
WrestlingINC: Was the mask your idea?
Helms: No, not at all. Once they did the Hollywood Gregory Helms thing - and that was in Washington so we had red eyes out that night. We had red eyes out and I'm writing all these names down. I was the Hurricane Kid for a brief moment in a very early part of my career. For most of my indie career I was called Kid Vicious. It was my little moniker. I just thought the name was funny. It was just me being a skinny ass kid being called Kid Vicious.
WrestlingINC: I remember you being mentioned in Pro Wrestling Illustrated back in the day about that gimmick.
Helms: Yeah. I remember when I started using my name, Shane Helms; I was the Show Shane Helms in OMEGA. Before I became the Show, Shane Hurricane Helms was the name I was going to use too and just because it rhymed. People always want a story on why I chose the Hurricane but there's no good story; it just rhymed with Shane. It had a nice ring to it. The very next week I came and Stephanie was the one that was working with me back in those days creatively. She was the one that told me I couldn't be called Sugar Shane. I went to her and said, 'What do you think about Hurricane Helms?' She goes, 'Well, let me run it by legal,' but I could tell she liked it.
I got to the building early to catch them early to tell them that. Evidently when they went and had their little meeting she ran it by them. I'm in catering and I'm coming out of catering and Vince walks by and goes, 'Hurricane Helms! I like it!' Then that slowly trickled into becoming The Hurricane, which was because of the tattoos. It was part of the invasion angle and there was a backstage gimmick where I was talking to Steve Austin and the only direction I had was, 'Maybe Steve will talk about your tattoo or something.' I didn't know what I was going to say because I didn't know what Steve was going to say.
Steve and I just talked about this. We stay in touch a lot and were talking about bullsh-t and it just came up. We were talking about our promos because he just did an interview recently about how the promos suck because they're so scripted. The best promos just kind of happen sometimes and I totally agree with him 100% and this is one example. I didn't know what I was going to say because I didn't know what he was going to say. He's Steve Austin; he can say whatever the hell he wants. I'm just Hurricane Helms; I'm just lucky to even have a name at this point.
So I didn't know what I was going to say. He started talking about and I started talking about the Green Lantern like it was a real person. Everyone starts laughing their ass off and he just loved it. That right there is how the whole Hurricane gimmick happened.

It was all about the finish this year for Starkville's cross country teams.
After a long season that saw marked improvement, both teams showed up last Saturday in Clinton and ran what some might consider the race of its lives.
"I don't think I really expected us to do as well as we did," Starkville coach Caroline Woomer said. "Everything really came together on race day. Things have come together for one or two of them at a time, but never for the whole team. What happened has to do with experience and now they know what it is like and I expect it to happen more in the future."
