'The Casual Vacancy' Adult Book by J.K. Rowling Coming Soon!
Now that J.K. Rowling is done sweeping the nation with her Harry Potter series, it seems she is set to try to take the adult population by storm. As she abandons her childish ways, September 27 marks a new venture for Rowling and it has everyone wondering, can this bestselling author cross the threshold and have the same success with the adult genre as she did with the younger folks? It's early yet, but some are already speculating on her upcoming book 'The Casual Vacancy.'
As of the 27th, 2 million copies of her adult book are slated to be released in The U.S., as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and of course, the UK. The novel will also be available via an electronic edition for tech savvy people.
True to her roots, this novel is set in a quaint English town among a very important election after the former parish member, Barry Fairweather, dies without notice. The town is idyllic and pleasantly called Pagford, with an apparent back drop of cobblestoned streets. But not all is kosher in the town and the residents come across their own crosses to bear. It seems that in the wake of the young man's death and with all the stress and hype of the new election, everyone in this town is at war with each other.
The rich are battling the poor, teens are jousting with parents and apparently once happy couples are finding themselves at odds and in precarious situations. Even the teachers can't seem to keep their once eager and brilliant students in control. The question posed to readers is who will come out on top when all is said and done? And will anyone care?
Since the book has not been released yet and only a select few have read it (mainly her publisher and perhaps a friend or two) not much can be said in the way of how this book fares, though her publisher Michael Pietsch was quoted as saying, 'I expect the world to be ecstatic at the range of her imaginative reach.' Of course this is entirely plausible, as she remains one of the most imaginative and accomplished authors this decade has seen, and undoubtedly she has millions of fans globally that will buy her book.
What has been making buzz as everyone awaits its release it the novel's cover. Admittedly, it is quite dull and rather unexpected coming from Rowling; this one is not as striking as the Potter covers. The cover is essentially all red, with a yellow thin border and right in the center has a small box with a big, black X in it, obviously signifying a voting ballot. While it may be fitting for the plot, it leaves little to be desired and since there are few other details to discuss surrounding what's inside the book, people are finding ways to entertain themselves about the cover.
While some such as Perez Hilton cite the book's simplistic cover as refreshing and smart, others think otherwise, almost annoyed that there seems to have been no thought in the process. But Rowling insists there was thought and her followers support that stating that the cover was envisioned by Rowling and it should speak to the subtle mysteries that await inside.
Overall, while it doesn't seem like everyone is impatient regarding its release, it is predicted that millions will buy it simply because it is Rowling. Truth be told, she has extensive, sometimes unrecognized talent for plot and story direction as well as character development, so it would be surprising if this book epically failed.
Though The Harry Potter series was technically written for children, much of its content still dealt with adult or pre-teen issues and central themes, so it is likely that Rowling will transition quite easily into the adult genre.

Luanda — The technologies are instruments that allow the learning process among children, due to their role to incentive the teaching in various contents, said Tuesday the minister of Education, Pinda Simão.
Pinda Simão said so at the ceremony meant to present the training project in new technologies of rehabilitation, sponsored by Lwini Foundation.
According to the minister, with the training based on new technologies the teachers will understand the fundamental elements for transformation the educative system needs in order to achieve the high quality of education, with equity and equality of opportunities.

Value of Instructional Designers in Libraries
I've long been a proponent of libraries contracting with or employing skilled instructional designers. We did that here at the U of MN a little over a year ago. Recently, Steven Bell had a chat with our designer and covered some of that in his From the Bell Tower blog. He called it "How an instructional designer can make a difference" and included this great quote from Paul, our designer:
"Instructional designers add value to academic libraries in two ways. First, in collaboration with academic librarians, instructional designers utilize design models to assess, identify, and codify learning outcomes, design and develop projects to satisfy those learning outcomes, and implement and evaluate the completed offerings. Historically academic librarians have not been trained in educational theory therefore instructional designers have become essential partners in the translation of librarians' expertise into intentional and measurable learning experiences."

The Pacific Islands are always a popular holiday destination but
Vanuatu is one with a bit of a difference.
A three-hour flight from Auckland, Vanuatu's culture, French influence and powder white beaches are among the many things enticing Kiwis there.
Julia Paley from House of Travel told TV ONE's Breakfast she thinks New Zealanders are attracted to Vanuatu because it offers beautiful beaches, lush tropical environment and beautiful culture - all on a scale that's "quite compact, quite boutique in a way".
While Vanuatu offers "everything that the Pacific offers in one nice little package" Vanuatuans have been voted as the happiest people on earth, Paley pointed out.
The blend of Micronesian culture with the French "and a bit of spanish influence" means beautiful food and cuisine "and it's just a glorious place," she said.
You can lie on a beach - and Paley rates Champagne Beach one of the most beautiful she's seen - or for the more active there's a shipwreck from 1942 to dive on.
A visit to the island of Tanna will bring you up close to a volcano.
"And it's not like Hawaii that flows lava, it's actually exploding. So you can see that." Paley said.
On the cost, she says Vanuatu is no more expensive than some of the other Pacific islands.
"Certainly when you're there the food and stuff is not as expensive as what you get in Tahiti which can be quite pricey."
Paley recommends Vanuatu for three or four days or a week-long holiday.
Find out more about what Julia Paley has saying on Breakfast's House of Travel Guide.

The global near-autonomous passenger car market is suggested to have reached a value of around $10.6 billion at the start of 2013, and is forecast to grow to a total of $21.4 billion by 2018. This suggests a CAGR growth rate of 15.08% between 2013 and 2018.
The flourishing demand for premium cars across the globe, along with existing as well as upcoming stringent safety regulations, will drive the market for near-autonomous passenger cars. The near-autonomous passenger car market in 2013 is projected to be dominated by Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Front Lights, in terms of revenue.
The major automobile manufacturers such as Audi (Germany), BMW (Germany), Mercedes-Benz (Germany), Volvo (Sweden), and others are manufacturing passenger cars installed with near-autonomous features

Obama in Tampa to kick off early voting
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Barack Obama arrived in Tampa early this afternoon to promote early voting in the Sunshine State. But before Obama reached the stage at Steinbrenner Field, five members of the newly crowned American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays appeared. Rookie sensation David Price, who got the save in last nightâs victory over the Boston Red Sox, introduced the Illinois senator.
The Rays will face the Philadelphia Phillies, who also play in a critical battleground state of Pensylvania.
Always trying to get an advantage, earlier today, a McCain press aide sent Florida reporters a press release in which Obama was quoted last in Philadelphia as saying that heâs a White Sox fan, but since theyâre out of the playoffs, âIâll root for the Phillies now.â But Obama began his remarks giving his due to the champs.
Celebrating early voting, Democrats begin the 12 days of such voting with a strong advantage as the process begins. According to the Secretary of Stateâs office, Florida Democrats now have a more than 600,000 person advantage in registered voters over Republicans, nearly double the gap between the two party's registered voters since 2004.
Todayâs appearance in Tampa was just one of several that Obama and strong surrogates, like New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, are making on Monday and Tuesday.
Saying that power concedes nothing without a fight, he warned the more than 10,000 in attendance that though the polls look good, the campaign could get rougher in the last two weeks.
In a familiar re-telling of his standard stump speech, Obama took several shots at John McCain as being clueless when it comes to dealing with the financial crises and the economy overall. He invoked a comment by McCain campaign manager Rick Davis last month that the campaign would not be decided by policy issues, but on character issues.
The McCain campaign has been hitting hard at Obama in the past week , virtually calling him a socialist after his comments made in Ohio to the now famous âJoe The Plumberâ, that he wanted to spread the wealth when it comes to his tax policy.
The McCain campaign again held several news conferences throughout the state, with local âJoe the Plumberâ types speaking about John McCainâs tax policies vs. Obama, but it may not be helping.
A Suffolk University poll released today in Ohio has Obama up by 9 points, and on the question of âJoe the Plumberâ, 68 percent of Ohioans had heard of him, but just 6 percent said that Joe made them more likely to vote for McCain, while 4 percent said they more likely to vote for Obama. However, in Missouri, the same question showed a 5 percent difference for McCain.
Obama also talked up jobs, alternative energy, and health care. Toward the end of his speech, he invoked the themes that some say his candidacy represents, in lines similar to his electrifying national debut at the Democratic National Convention in Boston in 2004.
Speaking to members in the audience before Obama spoke, WMNF encountered supporters, some more cautious than others 15 days before Election Day.
Joe Ramoray is a member of the Teamsters. He called himself âJoe the Teamster.â Heâs a Vietnam vet who says he respects John McCain for his military service, but he says that doesnât get his vote.
The endorsement Sunday by retired Gen. Colin Powell was warmly received by those WMNF interviewed, including Tampa resident Sinclair Bridgewater.
Obama planned to campaign with Hillary Clinton tonight in Orlando.

Chen, SY; Gong, XG; Walsh, A; Wei, SH; (2010) Defect physics of the kesterite thin-film solar cell absorber Cu2ZnSnS4. APPL PHYS LETT , 96 (2) , Article 021902. 10.1063/1.3275796.
Full text not available from this repository.
Cu2ZnSnS4 is one of the most promising quaternary absorber materials for thin-film solar cells. Examination of the thermodynamic stability of this quaternary compound reveals that the stable chemical potential region for the formation of stoichiometric compound is small. Under these conditions, the dominant defect will be p-type Cu-Zn antisite, which has an acceptor level deeper than the Cu vacancy. The dominant self-compensated defect pair in this quaternary compound is [Cu-Zn(-)+Zn-Cu(+)](0), which leads to the formation of various polytype structures of Cu2ZnSnS4. We propose that to maximize the solar cell performance, growth of Cu2ZnSnS4 under Cu-poor/Zn-rich conditions will be optimal, if the precipitation of ZnS can be avoided by kinetic barriers.

A detailed neurological exam should be part of a standard physical exam
to diagnose
Parkinson's disease and to separate Parkinson's
disease from other conditions. Your family doctor or general practitioner can do this. Or you may
be referred to a neurologist, which is a doctor who specializes in disorders of the nervous
system (brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles).
During this exam, your doctor will observe your movement, coordination,
and balance. You may be asked to complete a few physical tasks, such as walking
up and down a hall or getting up from a chair. The doctor also will watch for
any rapid, repetitive movements, such as finger-tapping or tremor. Simple tests
may be used to evaluate your muscle strength and control, reflexes, sensation
(such as the ability to feel a pinprick or a light touch), and vision.
The neurological exam also will include a brief assessment of your mental
ability and emotional condition. The doctor may ask you to repeat a series of
numbers or to answer simple questions about dates, places, and current events.
The doctor usually can judge your emotional condition during the exam by paying
attention to your actions and statements and by asking direct questions about
your mood and emotions.
The doctor will also listen to your heart
and lungs and may perform other routine examinations.

[Mp3] Spirits and the Melchizedek Children: "Land Tied" (Live @ The Earl 12/21/11)
Before playing one of the best records to come out of Atlanta in 2011 in its entirety at the Atlanta Music Roundtable show last month, Spirits and the Melchizedek Children opened their set with a stripped-down song I didn't recognize performed by SATMC frontman Jason Elliott alone. It turns out, the opening song was from their next full length, and they've decided to share the recording of it from the show for all of us to enjoy:

[Mp3] Tree Witch: "Alkyone"
Nigredo bassist Aaron Hendrickson has spent 2011 quietly putting out records from his ambient project Tree Witch. He released his third installment of the year, a four song EP called Mintaka, a couple weeks ago, and it's a really nice collection of soundscapes. Here's a taste, and then go explore his bandcamp page.

[Mp3] Mirror Mode: "Hexa"
Double Phantom Digital's latest free release is a six song EP from Mirror Mode, a new project by Allen Taylor (Feast of Violet/Kolossi) and Dan Wakefield (Ominous Castle). The duo composes dreamy pop built on lush and ambient electronic arrangements that after a couple of listens I'm really enjoying. Give it a spin yourself:

[Mp3] Mediocre Machine: "Nanaboozhoo"
After releasing a series of demos on bandcamp earlier this year, Mediocre Machine recently unveiled their first proper recording, a five song EP named after a Goonies character, which is entirely appropriate for their goofball aesthetic. The record feels like one song in five movements, but each track has its own unique character. There are no shortage of bands in this city that make music this fun, but very few do it with this much imagination. Here's the opening track, and then be sure to listen to all five songs together.

[Mp3] Tim Kohler and the Big Tent Revival Party: "Weekend"
Kid Stuff alumni Tim Kohler has spent the last year gathering a merry band of local musicians that includes members from acts such as Small Reactions, Hello Ocho, and Cute Boots to form The Big Tent Revival Party. After several live performances in 2011, they finally released their first recorded material, a single called "Weekend." It's an upbeat, epic pop song that serves as a pleasant introduction to an Atlanta outfit on the rise.

[Guest Mixtape] Places: Morning Ride
Our latest guest mixtape comes from Nicolo Giarrano, the man behind one of the most compelling new acts in the Atlanta music scene, Places. Over just the last year, Places has output an impressive catalog of music, both in terms of quality and quantity. Anyway, here's what he said about the mixtape he's put together for us:
This is best listened to early in the morning, when the air outside is so still you wouldn't dare disturb it, when you want to let the day ease into the music, allowing the morning birds to add accompaniment. This is for when your ears are too sensitive after their quiet night of dreaming. When the slight burning in your calves is outweighed by the breeze brushing over you as the sun peeks through the trees, when the weather is having an identity crisis. This is for when you know you're going to have a good day.
Enjoy this twenty minute mix, and then don't forget to catch the Places live band at the Goat Farm on Sunday (October 23rd) for The 4th Atlanta SOUL Project.
1. Brian Eno : "Drift"
2. Boards of Canada : "Melissa Juice"
3. Clay Pitts : "Caribbean Sunrise"
4. Nancy Adams : "Love"
5. The Beach Boys : "Let's Go Away For a While"
6. Koji Kondo : "Inside the Deku Tree"
7. Places : "High School Pretty"
8. Koushik : "Forest Loop"
9. The Avalanches : "Slow Walking"
10. Boards of Canada : "Over The Horizon Radar"

[Mp3] New Animal: "Still In Mind"

They're also opening for Purity Ring (11/2) and Architecture in Helsinki (11/12) next month. Enjoy the latest from one of my favourite bands of 2011:

Make your garden or potted plants even more beautiful with the addition of some fun to make craft projects
How to make gardening crafts for fun
Working in a garden, be it large or small, is a rewarding task that produces beautiful results. You can make your garden even more beautiful with the addition of some fun to make craft projects. The following projects can be used in gardens of all sizes and types, and also make wonderful gifts for a favorite gardener you know.
Each project will have a supply list, and basic construction directions. Feel free to embellish on the ideas presented here and add your own creative touches!
Painted Pots – Spruce up your garden, garden room, or back deck with a beautiful hand painted decorated pot! In addition to pots, you can also decorate flower boxes. Decorated pots are especially good for those who are container gardening!
Terra Cotta or other pot that is unfinished
Matching saucer
Craft Paints
Brushes, stencils, stamps, etc
Clear Acrylic spray on Sealant
Optional: Shells, beads, tiles, rocks or anything else you wish to use to decorate your pot(s). Liquid Nails glue to adhere decorations.
First, thoroughly clean and dry your pot & saucer before painting. Then free hand paint, stencil, or stamp your pot to your hearts content! This is such an easy project; it would be great for children and adults.
If you are going to add shells, or other glued on embellishments do so after any paint you have applied is thoroughly dry.
One your paint, and/or glue from your embellishments are dry apply 2-3 light coats of spray on sealant to weatherproof your pot.
Let the sealant dry, insert a lovely and plant and enjoy your handy work!
Garden Stepping Stones – Lovely and practical, a stepping stone is a decorative touch that will keep your feet clean on a muddy day! They are also easy and fun to make.
A mold (or several if you wish to make a collection) – You can purchase molds specific to making stepping stones at craft stores. Or, you can use your imagination and make a mold out of things you may already have around the house. Some examples are: small plastic storage containers, pizza boxes, pie pans, plastic plant saucers, large plastic lids, and old ice cream buckets
Cement- Available at hardware stores. Purchase a higher grade if you want a smooth finish and lower grade if you want a rougher finish.
Embellishments – You can let your imagination run wild here! So many things can be used to decorate your stones. You can leave them plain and paint them when they are dry, or you can add marbles, glass, tiles, pebbles, aquarium smooth glass 'rocks', etc.
Stiff wire mesh – cut an inch or so smaller than your mold
Something to mix you concrete in, and with
Newspaper to keep your work area clean
Safety glass and gloves – This is very important! Concrete can burn eyes and skin! Protect yourself while working with it!!
First, gather all your supplies together in a place where your stepping stones can remain undisturbed after you have poured them. An out of the way spot outdoors is ideal.
Prepare your molds with a generous layer of cooking spray, or petroleum jelly to ensure that the concrete releases easily.
Making sure that you are wearing your safety gear, mix up your cement (follow the mixing directions on the bag as an initial guide) to a texture that is similar to cookie dough. Using an old spoon, scoop the cement into your mold until it is about half full. Smooth the cement down until it is even, then place your wire mesh onto it. Continue to fill the mold the rest of the way up. Once it is full, smooth the surface again. Gently tap the mold to help release any air bubbles that may be trapped in the cement. Leave the cement alone for 20-30 minutes to set up.
Once the cement is set up (should be slightly resistant to the touch), you can add your embellishments or make handprints. If you make a mistake, just re-smooth the cement and start over again!
After you are done decorating, you will need to leave the stepping stone in a safe place to dry for 2-3 days. Avoid moving it, which may cause it to crack or become damaged. Once it is totally dry, just pop it out of the mold!
You can now paint it if you choose to do so. If you paint your stone, you will need to seal it with a spray on acrylic sealant to protect it from inclement weather and wear and tear.
Row/Plant Markers
When little sprouts are first raising their soft green heads above the dirt it can be difficult for even a seasoned gardener to differentiate between one plant species and another. Eliminate the guess work, and add a fun decorative touch to your garden with row or plant markers that identify exactly what has been planted in a garden row, or pot.
Wedge shaped garden stakes – wood or metal, 4-8 inches long
3-4 inch diameter pre cut wooden shapes – Craft stores usually have a wide variety of precut shapes, sometimes even vegetable and flower shapes!
Craft Paints
Paint brushes, stamps, or stencils, and/or a permanent marker
Clear Acrylic spray on Sealant
Liquid Nails or similar type glue
Paint, stamp or stencil your wooden shapes. You don't necessarily have to imitate the vegetation being labeled. You can decorate your markers with birds, bugs, or plants and vegetables. After you have done your decorative work, write or paint the plant's name (for example: peas, or corn, or pansies and so on). Let the paint dry, and then apply 2-3 coats (letting each coat dry before the next is applied) of acrylic sealant to protect your garden markers from inclement weather.
After all is dry, glue the painted wooden shapes to the blunt end of the garden stake with your glue. Let dry. Then insert the row or plant markers into the soil at an angle so the painted surface of the marker is easily visible!
Painted Welcome Rocks – Add fun and whimsy with a painted rock that welcomes guests to your garden!
A nice, smooth rock with a character, size and shape that appeals to you
Craft Paints
Paint brushes, stencils and/or stamps
Clear Acrylic spray on sealant
Embellishments – glitter, gems, tiles, beads, etc.
Liquid Nails glue for adding embellishments
Thoroughly clean and dry your rock so that paint will adhere well.
Then decorate your rock in any manner you wish! You can paint animals, bugs, plants, or a simple message on your rock. You can also glue embellishments to your rock once the paint has dried!
Once your rock is dry, coat with 2-3 layers of acrylic sealant.
Then place in your garden and enjoy!
Garden Gate Wreath
If you have a gated garden, or simply with to hang a pretty garden themed wreath on a fence, door, or shed near your garden this is a project for you!
A vine wreath.
Hot Glue and gun
Embelishments- small trowel & shovel, garden gloves, a miniature sun hat, dried or silk flowers, tiny clay pots… pick items that personify gardening to you!
Optional: A pre-made or unfinished (paint with craft paints, and seal with spray on acrylic) wooden welcome sign
Begin by wrapping the raffia around your wreath and securing with a bow. It may be helpful to glue the raffia in place as you wind it around the wreath to secure it. Use many strands at once for a full look.
Then simply begin arranging your embellishments. It is a good idea to place larger items towards the back, and smaller items in front as you add them to your wreath. You can decorate all around the wreath, or simply at the top or bottom. Lay your items on the wreath to get an idea of how you'd like them arranged before gluing them in place. Try several arrangements to determine what looks best.
You can add a welcome sign by gluing it in the center of the wreath, or hanging it from the wreath with additional raffia.
Hang on your gate, and you and your visitors will both enjoy the fruits of your creativity!

Mobile merger approved
1 March 2010 — 6:00 PM
The merger between France Telecom's Orange and Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile has been approved by the European Commission (EC).
Consumers may be interested in the move following the decision by the Office of Fair Trading to shelve a request for an investigation into the link up, which paved the way for the creation of the UK's biggest mobile phone firm.
The joint-force of the company will give it a market share of 37 per cent and more than 28 million customers.
However, measures are in place to ensure that other networks are not harmed as the EC says the pair must take measures to protect the UK's smallest mobile network - 3 - and sell a quarter of its spectrum on the 1,800 MHz band.
The EC said: "The decision is conditional upon the amendment of an existing network sharing agreement with Hutchison 3G UK to ensure that there remains sufficient competition in the market."

press release
Amsterdam — Environmental investigator released from prison after three-month detainment Greenpeace Calls for Protection not Criminalisation of Independent Investigators
Ex-poacher turned conservationist Joseph Melloh was released today from a Congolese prison where he had been detained for three months following an investigation of the area of forests logged by Swiss-German logging company, Congolaise Industrielle du Bois (CIB). During today's sentencing hearing in Brazzaville, the judge sentenced Melloh to 45 days in jail - all of which he has already served.
Greenpeace, along with Swiss photographer Karl Ammann, had campaigned for Melloh's release. Greenpeace co-financed Joseph's visit to Pokola together with the German ENGO Rettet den Regenwald.
"Joseph Melloh's investigation was aimed at contributing to forest law enforcement in the Congo," said Filip Verbelen, Greenpeace Forest Campaigner. "But in fact the law turned against him, condemning him to three months in prison on a charge that was unfounded."
Melloh, who has become a leading figure in uncovering the illegal bushmeat trade in Central Africa, was arrested on May 14th in the Congolese logging town of Pokola. He was picked up by the police for conducting interviews with residents of Pokola and for filming CIB forestry operations.
"While we are delighted that Joseph Melloh has been released, his case clearly highlights the current problems that exist globally around monitoring the activities of logging companies in the field," said Verbelen. "Corporate forest crime costs forest nations several million US$ each year - yet most of these nations have no formal framework - nor the institutional capacity - for independent monitoring of the companies operating in their forests."
Greenpeace argues that independent on-the-ground monitoring of logging companies - whether leading to a positive endorsement of a company or to the exposure of illegal and destructive practices - is fundamental to achieving sustainable forest management globally.
"Like neighbouring Cameroon, we are now calling on the government of Congo to commit to formal independent monitoring of logging company activities," said Verbelen. "Without this kind of commitment, then current political processes like the World Bank's programme on Forest Law Enforcement and Governance will mean very little."
At the Johannesburg Earth Summit , Greenpeace is calling on world governments to commit to the development of a global framework on corporate responsibility, which should include issues of transparency, independent verification and corporate liability.

Many people turn to a medicated nasal decongestant spray to offer fast relief for a congested and running nose. It can reduce swelling and clear mucus from nasal passages quickly.
In fact, these products often work so well that people are tempted to use them for too long. If you use a medicated nasal spray for more than three days in a row, you may develop rebound rhinitis medicamentosa (RM) when you do stop using the spray. This condition can cause prolonged sinus congestion and even may damage your nasal passages over time.
RM can be quite uncomfortable, but using the nasal spray again helps you feel somewhat better. That's why many people tend to keep using it, often more frequently and persistently. This creates a vicious cycle.
If you're in this situation, ask your doctor for advice on how to taper off using the spray. He or she can help you find a safe way to deal with your congestion. And, ask your pharmacist about other options.
Nasal sprays that contain just saline are one alternative. They moisturize the nostrils and reduce the buildup of mucus and crusts with saline. Topical steroid sprays are another alternative. Many oral over-the-counter decongestants may ease pressure in the nasal passages, but they don't relieve a runny nose. They also can have side effects, such as lightheadedness and dizziness and may increase your blood pressure.
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against using cold remedies for children. Cough and cold products are not effective in treating symptoms of children under six years old, and some serious health problems have been associated with use of these medications in children. For a stuffy nose, the AAP recommends the following:
Use saline nose drops to thin nasal mucus. Ask your pediatrician which ones to use. Never use nonprescription nose drops that contain any medicine.
Use a suction bulb to clear your baby's nose. First squeeze the bulb, then gently put the rubber tip into one nostril and slowly release the bulb. Gentle suction draws clogged mucus out of the nose. This works best for babies younger than 6 months of age.
A cool-mist humidifier in your child's room can helps to moisten the air and clear a child's nasal passages. Be sure to clean the humidifier often.

VIDEO: Continental reveals Android-based AutoLinQ connected head unit
Continental is to soon offer a system that will see Android-powered head units getting you connected in your car.
The Android-powered AutoLinQ system (one small element of which is rendered in the video above) is a new "connected services platform" that car makers could choose to install in their motors.
The head unit is capable of downloading existing Android applications while Continental also plans to release an AutoLinQ SDK in the first quarter of 2010 with a specific app store due in the second half of the year.
As well as offering connectivity whilst in the car, the AutoLinQ system will offer remote connectivity to the car via a mobile view from a phone or PC that will let users check the status or location of a vehicle.
On the obvious map, traffic and location applications, Continental has teamed up with Navteq while a "half-dozen" partners are also already working on early prototype applications said to "combine vehicle and social information to create exciting new experiences".
These will include "location based social networking applications that can safely be used in the vehicle". We will keep you posted with more as we get it later in the year.

Kampala — FUFA, who have so far failed to lure back their two top professional players -Argentina-based Ibrahim Sekajja and Major League Soccer's Sulaiman Tenywa - plan finally to invoke FIFA rules on international games.
Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) assistant secretary Zubair Galiwango turned up for the Top Radio Super League press conference yesterday at Mengo with all previous communications to the Argentina and United States FAs, and said that writing to FIFA will be the next option.
FIFA can ban the two players from playing for their clubs if they fail to honour Cranes games.
The two did not play in Cranes 0-2 defeat to Burkina Faso but have been named in the team to play South Africa at Namboole on October 10.
"We are now going to hand over the issue to FIFA." Galiwango said.
The two players last played for Uganda against DR Congo and have not given any satisfactory reason for their absence.
Insiders say the professional players are unhappy with their allowances and with some Cranes and FUFA officials, while other reports say opponents of FUFA have discouraged them from returning.
Players called for South Africa match:
P. Omwony, I. Mugisha, H. Muwonge, T. Semwogerere, E. Ssali, A. Mwesigwa, B. Kimbugwe, S. Serunjogi, S. Mubiru, I. Emuge, N. Kasule, I. Sebalata, T. Ojara, J. Kabagambe, M. Lule, A. Bajope, H.

Hey Brothers, I was sitting here 1st basking in the after glow of my son going 11 and 1 and taking a silver medal in a huge national youth dual tourney this weekend, and then having that nice feeling obliterated (almost) after reading the news about Cal Bakersfield. Then this thought came to me: What if we could pick 2 or 3 guys from D2 and/or D3 in the draft next year? One of the best things about the fantasy league is that it pushes/forces us to study a much broader spectrum of college wrestling, instead of just our 1 or 2 favorite teams and maybe their rivals and conference foes.
I can tell you for sure that since we started this most excellent diversion, I know alot more about teams and individuals around the country than I did before, even having been an assistant coach on two D1 schools. Adding D2/D3 into the mix would help us to be even more knowleable. Just trying to follow Brother Stiffy's season has helped me to know more about some D2 teams that I had not heard of before. Not suggesting that we open up the Draft to selecting as many lower division schools as we would want, that would create some major hassles, like tournament selection and such. But we could utilize D2 conferences and Nationals like we use conference tournys now. What do you [open-minded ] brothers think?

Selling old mobile may help pay for overseas calls
23 June 2010 — 3:58 PM
Jet-setting mobile users may wish to sell their old phone and sign up to a more cost-effective plan prior to the holiday season.
According to the Daily Mail, getting hit by huge costs for using a handset abroad is one of the top ten cash traps of the summer.
But consumers could avoid it by investing in a new phone on a contract or pay-as-you-go tariff that makes using it overseas affordable.
For example, people who sign up to a deal with T-Mobile are able to text a number and then access 17 minutes of free calls when in foreign countries.
The newspaper also advises people to text rather than call where possible, as this is significantly cheaper in most parts of the world.
Mobile network Three recently cut its data roaming charges in Europe by half ahead of the summer holiday period, potentially enabling plenty more people to stay connected to their device while enjoying a break.

For the second straight season the now 6-9 Jets will not make the playoffs. This comes after two straight trips to the AFC championship game.
This much has been known since Mark Sanchez fumbled away the final snap against the Titans last week. Though Buffalo still looms there is little for the Jets to play for except for draft pick order. Even the question of whether seventh-round pick Greg McElroy can play quarterback in this league has been wiped out as McElroy has a concussion and will watch Sanchez against Buffalo's less-than-imposing defense.
How did the Jets find themselves in this predicament again? Is there anything to salvage from the season?
Things They Couldn't Control
The Jets certainly weren't handed a great season injury-wise. All-everything cornerback Darrelle Revis was lost for the season in just the third game against Miami. Naturally this was a significant blow, but with Cromartie still on board, defensive mastermind Rex Ryan did a very nice job of slowing down opponents anyway.
Ryan may have faults on the other side of the ball but substituting Kyle Wilson for Revis and keeping the defense strong was a great job on his part. Unfortunately the offense was another story.
Just one game after losing Revis, wide receiver Santonio Holmes was lost for the season with a foot injury. Though Revis is on a whole other level as far as production, the loss of Holmes was a bigger blow for the Jets. Already thin at wide receiver, the loss of Ryan's top playmaker on offense was certainly a blow to a unit that was already having trouble moving the ball.
Adding to the list of lost playmakers has been the absence of tight end Dustin Keller. Keller has been limited with several injuries this season and has only played eight games while totaling 317 yards on 28 catches—both are career lows by quite a bit for the fifth-year veteran. Keller hasn't played since December 2 against Arizona and is questionable to play this week with an ankle injury.
Finding Some Positives
There have been some encouraging signs for Ryan's bunch—several coming on the defensive side of the ball.
Two years ago, the Jets were getting old on the defensive side of the ball and an overhaul needed to take place. The Jets then drafted defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson with their first pick in the 2011 draft, 30th overall.
Although he started every game last season the 23-year-old's impact wasn't felt until this season. Wilkerson is second on the team with five sacks, fourth in total tackles with 66, and has three forced fumbles—he even scored the team's only touchdown against Seattle. He has been in and around the quarterback on almost every passing play, has recorded four pass deflections, and was even credited with a blocked kick on special teams.
Complementing Wilkerson on the defensive front has been rookie part-time starter and fellow lineman Quinton Coples. The Jets took Coples with their first pick, 16th overall, in the 2012 draft, and are surely happy with his inaugural season. The 22-year-old Coples leads the team with 5.5 sacks despite starting only two games. He should provide a great 1-2 punch with Wilkerson for years to come.
Another bright spot for the Jets has been receiver Jeremy Kerley. Kerley leads the team with 739 yards and 53 catches despite being the main target on an offense with few weapons. Kerley, who is more of a slot receiver, has turned out to be a good find for the Jets who grabbed him in the fifth round of the 2011 draft.
Sticking with the positive theme, the Jets' offensive line has bounced back to become a bright spot for them once again. Trading the much-maligned Wayne Hunter to St. Louis and inserting tackle Austin Howard alongside stalwarts Brandon Moore, Nick Mangold, Matt Slauson, and D'Brickashaw Ferguson has solidified the line again.
The Quarterback Situation
There're not too many positives about the quarterback situation. When the Jets traded up in the first round in 2009 to get Mark Sanchez not many people envisioned him being benched by the end of his fourth season. Three or four seasons is normally the time it takes for a quarterback to blossom. But after continued inconsistent play the former USC star's struggles were unable to be masked this season.
After expected sub-par seasons his first two years as the Jets signal-caller, Sanchez did little to give anyone confidence in his play last season. But the fall guy ended up being offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer who eventually left for the Rams after last season after being under fire from the fans for most of the season.
Needing to free up some salary cap space this past offseason the Jets gambled and extended and guaranteed Sanchez more money as part of a reworked contract. This was after four-time MVP Peyton Manning was briefly on the free agent market and just weeks before trading for Tim Tebow.
But the talented Sanchez did not make the leap this year to Pro Bowl starter.
In fact the 26-year-old posted some of the worst passing statistics in the league this year. His paltry quarterback rating of 67.9—ranking him 33rd out of 34 qualifiers and last among anyone with 10 starts or more spoke volumes about his production.
He's thrown more interceptions (17) than touchdowns (13) and his completion percentage of 54.8 percent is 32nd out of 34 qualifiers. At one point Sanchez posted four straight games of less than 50 percent completion rate, marking the first time since 1999 that any quarterback had done that.
Despite all the ugly statistics, the time the Jets spent in last place, and the constant boo-ing of Jets' fans for Sanchez, Rex Ryan failed to see that his starting quarterback wasn't getting the job done. Even after benching Sanchez in the Arizona game and watching McElroy come in and save the day Ryan stuck with his clearly struggling starter and it cost him and the team.
Admittedly with the lost weapons on offense the task was tougher for Sanchez, but at the same time it could have been his chance to shine and show how great he could be. Maybe that was Ryan's thinking. Maybe Ryan thought it made no sense to bench such a highly-paid player and that the Jets needed to get some return on their investment.
Any time the question came up though Ryan insisted that he thought Sanchez gave them the best chance to win—no other specifics to back up his decision. Of course in hindsight there were no stats to back up the decision.
Unfortunately for the Jets when Ryan finally benched Sanchez in favor of McElroy, the second-year player did not have a good first start, getting sacked 11 times by San Diego in a loss. And unlike last season, there is no obvious pick of Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin waiting to be drafted to save a franchise's offense for the next 10 seasons.
The Tebow Package
As previously mentioned the Jets acquired Tebow soon after re-working Sanchez's contract. At the time it was a major trade as Tebow had worked his magic to the tune of a second-round playoff appearance for Denver. But his role with the Jets seemed to be different.
From all indications the Jets envisioned a Tim Tebow package much like the one they had with Brad Smith a few years back that was a decent change of pace for the offense. It also seemed to be understood that this package would be especially effective in the red zone. Another positive for the trade is that maybe this would push and motivate Sanchez to get to the next level.
Obviously the plan didn't work.
For one thing the Jets didn't make the red zone very often. Putting Tebow in at odd times on offense seemed only to disrupt what little rhythm Sanchez had going.The Jets weren't very consistent with the package in the first place. This was never more evident than when Ryan's crew traveled to New England to take on the Patriots. At different points in the contest the Jets elected not to put Tebow in at the goal line and then compounded the mistake by putting him in for a run play just before the two-minute warning that netted little and only contributed to an overtime loss that should have been a win.
Of course the package they ran for Tebow didn't highlight his biggest strength which is fourth-quarter comebacks.
Tebow was incredible in 2011 at pulling out late wins (as he did against the Jets) but somehow the Jets' braintrust never seemed to view him as a starter, even though they kept putting out a starter with some of the worst stats in the league. Ultimately it cost them a chance at the playoffs this season and a waste of a fourth- and sixth-round pick that it took to get him as the former Heisman winner is surely gone after the season.
Offseason Outlook
The Jets clearly need help on offense from coaching to finding playmakers and most importantly getting a good quarterback. This is certainly a tall order but it's the only way to get the Jets back to where they belong—the postseason.

All work on a tribal system or groups in society, they don't want and won't accept the same "democracy" we use. They never have and they never will.
