Sharing some Patriots and NFL thoughts:
1. Patriots owner Robert Kraft held court with reporters Friday at the Super Bowl, as he usually does every year. Among the reports and tweets sparked from that meeting with the press, one thing that stood out to me was Kraft publicly endorsing Bill Parcells' candidacy for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It wasn't always roses between the two. Also, Wes Welker's agents probably won't appreciate this from Kraft.
"I'd love him to be around," Kraft told reporters in New Orleans. "He's a great guy. Like I've said all along, it takes two sides to make a transaction. We have to manage the lawyers and the agents that they don't mess it up. I think Wes wants to be with us, and we want him here. It's just a matter of whether both sides can be intelligent."
I also took note of this Bloomberg story, and whom Kraft dined with on Thursday night, and it sparked the thought that Kraft does a nice job building allies among his peers, especially those new to the ownership fraternity.
2. Listening to commissioner Roger Goodell's "state of the NFL" news conference on Friday and the biggest takeaways were: his belief that HGH testing will be implemented before the 2013 season (a belief and reality are two different things); a heavy focus on health and safety (e.g., ideas to further take the head out of the game); his feeling that the results of minority hiring this offseason were "not acceptable" and new ways to promote that must be explored; some of the main things he felt made 2013 a success -– "inspiring comebacks" by Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson, "extraordinary rookie quarterbacks," Calvin Johnson and Tony Gonzalez catching, Aldon Smith, Von Miller and J.J. Watt sacking and the fantastic final Sunday of the regular season.
3. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff, the former Patriots director of college scouting, was a guest on the "Felger and Mazz" program on 98.5 The Sports Hub and shared some insight on coming out of the Bill Belichick program and attempting to build your own team. There was also talk on draft philosophy and more. I enjoyed the interview. For those interested, you can listen here.

Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D: What Critics Say
The Jessica Alba-Joel McHale film "simply entertains at a basic level without leaving a lasting impression," writes one critic.
The latest installment in the Spy Kids franchise, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D, opened in theaters on Friday. Starring Joel McHale, Jessica Alba and Alexa Vega, the fourth feature -- directed by Robert Rodriguez and introducing a fourth sense, smell -- isn't striking a chord with critics.
The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy summed up the movie in less than 10 words. "Life is too short for Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D," he writes. He's not alone. Here are what a few of the critics thought of Rodriguez's latest project.
The Guardian's Cath Clarke wasn't keen on Rodriguez returning to helm a fourth Spy Kids feature, alluding to the fact that there is no depth beyond the jokes. "Now [Rodriguez's] back with a fourth, and sadly it's all fart jokes and smart-alec preteens -- the stuff that can make taking kids to the pictures a chore," Clarke concluded.
The Telegraph took issue with other aspects of the movie. "If the prissy child acting, Jessica Alba's stepmum-spy and Ricky Gervais as a talking dog weren't strong enough lures, this trippy and calamitous romp comes garnished with a '4D' scratch-and-sniff card to use when we're told," its review states. "Don't get too excited: All eight aromas appear to be Fruit Gumball."
The Financial Times' Nigel Andrews was succinct: "Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez has mined this mother lode too long."
The Toronto Sun's Lisa Wilton believed the latest "doesn't quite measure up to the first three" but it doesn't quite "sully the series. Instead, she says Spy Kids "simply entertains at a basic level without leaving a lasting impression."
But Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle had a more positive reaction to Spy Kids than some of his counterparts. "Far more coherent than its immediate predecessor, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D benefits greatly from its two likable young leads and some of the series' wittiest, pun-filled writing," Savlov writes in his review of the kid movie.

Warren Barrett
Warren Barrett (born 9 September 1970) is a retired Jamaican football goalkeeper.
Nicknamed 'Boopie', he played mostly for Violet Kickers F.C., but also played one season for Wadadah F.C. in the 1999/2000 season.
He played for and captained the Jamaica national football team and was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[1][2] According to the Jamaica Football Federation, Barrett earned 127 caps for his country, but this figure has not been officially acknowledged by FIFA because the JFF includes all matches, even against club sides, youth or olympic teams. He played his final FIFA international in 2000 against Honduras in the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup; he came on as a substitute for midfielder Winston Griffiths as Aaron Lawrence was sent off. He is married with three children, Ashley, Warren Jr. and Moya.
Barrett was selected as a national goalkeeping coach for Jamaica in 2008. On July 26, 2010, Barrett was suspended from all coaching duties by the JFF for an altercation with a match official at Jarrett Park.

Condo Market Activity
Condo Report By Gary and Sandy Elliott www.marcoislandcondoguy.net www.SandyElliottInteriors.com Realtors often use the term "absorption rate" to help understand real estate activity in segments of a market. One definition of absorption rate is how many months it would take to sell all the active listings if no new condos came on the market. Using this definition, six months of supply is normally considered a balanced market. If a segment has more than six months of supply, then the buyer has an advantage, and if the market has less than six months of supply, the seller has an advantage. Both sellers ... Read More »

Intensity Dancers' StudioRead MoreThe goals of the instructors at Intensity Dancers' Studio go far beyond dance—the team aspires to help their students become well-rounded individuals as they grow. That can even be seen by the number of students using their talents outside the studio, with some competing on teams at the national level. Children can participate in lessons that cover classic or modern dance styles at the school, where ballet gets equal billing with hip-hop and acrobatics options. As dancers progress, they not only learn proper technique and execution, but how to cultivate discipline and self-confidence, tools intended to help them success off the dance floor too.15507 Bull Run RdHialeah, FL US
Jungle IslandRead MoreJungle Island White sand beaches, cerulean waters, and towering palms make Watson Island feel like a tropical paradise—complete with a leopard lurking in the undergrowth. Luckily, this jungle cat is safely within the confines of the Jungle Island, which has inhabited the isle for more than a decade. And yet the story of this themed park, which houses everything from exotic birds and primates to rare plants and trees, began more than 75 years ago. The Background In 1936, Franz Scherr established an aviary where the exotic birds could soar uncaged, giving his South Miami park the apt name of Parrot Jungle. In the following decades, the aviary hosted some noteworthy occupants, such as Pinky—a high-wire bicycle-riding cockatoo—and several pink flamingos that appeared in the opening credits of Miami Vice. When the zoo's current owners purchased the company in 1988, they introduced new mammals and reptiles—but when Hurricane Andrew struck in 1992, they were forced to relocate. They settled on Watson Island, and in 2003, finished construction of the animal habitats and 18 acres of tropical gardens, renaming the park Jungle Island. The Highlights Hundreds of animals and plants from around the world call Jungle Island home. Naturalistic habitats contain mammals such as orangutans and a liger; reptiles such as American alligators and pythons; and birds such as African penguins and emus. The gardens house rare plants including cycads and African sausage trees. More than 1.35 miles of covered walking trails wind among the exhibits. Many of these animals feature in daily demonstrations. In Winged Wonders, handlers showcase the antics of colorful parrots, the flight of vultures, and the resident 6-foot cassowary's ability to eat an apple whole. Tale of the Tiger explores the behavior of rare big cats, including four species of tigers. Alternatively, in-depth tours and encounters may bring guests face-to-face with popular primates, or deep into the Serpentarium to feed an alligator in its enclosure and ponder whether snakes could possibly wear neckties.1111 Parrot Jungle TrailMiami, FL US
Miami Science MuseumRead MoreThe Patricia and Philip Frost Museum has spent most of its life outgrowing its digs. It debuted in 1949 as a children's museum, which took off quickly and soon expanded into the Museum of Science and Natural History in 1952. In 1960, it again needed more space and moved to its current site, and now an even larger space is being built, set to open in 2016. But throughout all its physical changes, its mission remains the same, "We inspire people of all ages and cultures to enjoy science and technology, in order to better understand ourselves and our world." Size: as of now, the site stands at 48,000 square feet; plans for the new space will expand that to 250,000 square feet over five levels Eye Catcher: tour the Wildlife Center, where the staffers care for injured wildlife?specifically majestic birds of prey?and release them back into the wild Permanent Mainstay: the Planetarium, where PBS's Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer was filmed, boasts a 65-foot-diameter domed projection screen Don't Miss: in the late afternoon, the planetarium hosts Legends of the Night Sky Laser Show, which teaches kids how to find constellations using lasers and Greek myths Hands-On Experiments: in Nano, kids manipulate large-scale mechanisms as they familiarize themselves with the principles behind nanoscience Special Programs: the museum?s Sea Lab features beautiful underwater creatures and coral reefs. Guests can get up close and personal as they reach out to touch a starfish or a sea urchin or have a cleaner shrimp nibble at their nails3280 S Miami Ave.Miami, FL US
Gold Coast Railroad MuseumRead MoreThe Gold Coast Railroad Museum began in 1956, when train enthusiast William J. Godfrey chanced upon the miles of abandoned railroad track snaking through the pineland of University of Miami's southern campus. He imported a newly retired steam engine to the premises, and a tribute to railroading history began. Now in a new location in Miami proper, the museum continues to honor trains' role in American history, with nine exhibits on locomotives, passenger cars, and the Richmond's Naval Air Station's fleet. Visitors can hop aboard a full-size diesel locomotive passenger coach, or take a ride a miniature children's railroad that's ideal for transporting shipments of Lincoln logs. Alternatively, they can run motorized or free-wheeling trains through a model railroad, which zips through mountain tunnels and circles around to-scale landscapes.12450 SW 152ND STMIAMI, FL US
Miami Art MuseumRead MoreThanks to a generous $35 million donation, the Miami Art Museum is now called the Perez Art Museum Miami, and has a shiny new home to match the label change. The Museum serves as the anchor to new 29-acre Museum Park, which overlooks glimmering Biscayne Bay. The updated digs were designed by Pritzker-Prize winning architects Herzog & de Meuron and are dedicated to international art of the 20th and 21st centuries, laid out across three stories. At more than triple the floor space of their previous home, the Perez is modern and contemporary, housing more than 1,300 works across a range of media. There is also Verde, a lovely waterfront restaurant and bar, where the menu is locally-inspired and created with seasonal ingredients.101 W Flagler StMiami, FL US
Miami Seaplane ToursRead MoreMiami's azure beaches and kaleidoscopic cityscapes beckon eyes downward as Miami Seaplane Tours' Cessna 172 Seahawk skirts across the horizon. With more than 30 years of experience, pilot Tony Anderson flies jet-setting adventurers above Miami in the renovated interior of his ultralight Cessna, which accommodates up to three passengers. The aerodynamically enhanced craft now offers four distinct seaplane tours, ranging in length from 30 minutes to two hours. Passengers soak in panoramic views of downtown Miami's hotels, beaches, and mansions, or sail over the soiree of Fort Lauderdale. Tours can also glide north of the city, all the while dodging clouds and errant beach frisbees thrown by Dan Marino.3401 Rickenbacker CausewayKey Biscayne, FL US

Mountain View, CA-based TrialPay, an online payment provider, has raised a $12.7 million second round from Index Ventures, Atomico Ventures and ex-PayPal executives. The round brings the company's total raise to $15.8 million, having previously taken investments from Battery Ventures, Ron Conway and Bob Pittman in 2006. The company's strategy is to meld online payments with online marketing, so that a customer can get a rebate or discount on an item by doing business with a participating advertiser. This is supposed to a way of hooking online shoppers that may otherwise be wavering on a purchase. The company is in particular targeting software vendors. Advertisers that have signed up include Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI) and FTD.com. Release.

Timberdoodle's review
Do you need a customized Preschool Timberdoodle Curriculum?
Are you looking for a complete
homeschool curriculum
for your
? You'll find that Timberdoodle's Curriculum engages the
hands-on learner
reaches for academic excellence
, and
encourages a growing love for learning
. We also stress critical thinking skills and, even at this early grade, working towards independent learning. This program is designed for the two- or three-year-old who is ready for a more intentional approach to learning with an emphasis on activities and conversations rather than worksheets alone. Of course, most preschoolers are eager to have their own workbooks, too, so we've included the very best ones available to be sure you both enjoy this year!
Depending on your child's pace, you will find that this includes enough material for a relaxed two years of learning or a fast-paced one-year approach. Our suggestion? Just jump in and see how your child does. Many preschoolers will be eager to speed ahead, but if you find that your child really isn't there yet, simply slow down and enjoy this all-too-fleeting stage.

Timberdoodle's Preschool Handbook
This guide helps you to know which books to use when and how to schedule your school year. A weekly checklist is included so that you can verify at a glance that you are including a wide variety of activities in your tiny tot's routine. We don't encourage a detailed daily schedule since no two days are identical for a wee one; at this age especially, a relaxed approach is so much more appropriate!
Preschool Handbook PDF Sample
Montessori Letter Work
In the innovative, interactive board book, Letter Work, your toddler will learn the sounds and shapes of each letter. Based on the century-old and highly successful Montessori way of teaching, chubby fingers will find these letters, with uber-fine sandpaper texture, irresistible for tracing. Visually appealing and educational in every way, each Letter Work page features basic phonetic sounds; touchable, traceable letters; and an elegantly simple illustration to provide context.
Montessori Number Work
Following the Montessori method, the interactive Montessori Number Work introduces quantities to count before teaching the numerals. Groupings of beautiful, slightly retro illustrations provide objects to count before your toddler turns the page to find the correct fine sandpaper numeral to trace with his fingers. This approach of focusing on the concrete before the abstract has been highly successful for over a century.
Montessori Map Work
The newest board book in the Montessori series, Montessori Map Work introduces preschoolers to the basics about the seven continents. Visually appealing, Montessori Map Work devotes two pages to each continent and includes some of the animals and/or birds native to that continent. There is also a textured outline of each continent for small hands to trace and suggested modes of transportation between continents for spatial context. The back cover folds out to show a simple map of the world and provide a satisfying preschool-size overview of geography.
A-Z Upper and Lower Case Puzzles
As children manipulate the three-dimensional, bright, crepe foam rubber letters in the Lauri Alphabet Puzzles, they increase visual and tactile perception, shape discrimination, and hand-eye coordination. For the youngest, think of these as fabulous perception puzzles (just think of how similar E & F, O & Q, R & P, and M & N are). At two, most toddlers are able to pick out each letter by name. Older children can match lower case and upper case, put together words, and use the puzzles for phonics games.
Big Book of Things to Spot
Usborne's Big Book of Things to Spot contains four titles in one volume, making it the book to take along on a trip when you know there will be waits or delays. This book is crammed with over 4000 things to spot on a farm, in the town, or pertaining to animals or history. While searching the colorful, beautifully illustrated pages, your preschooler will learn the names of both animals and objects. You will also discuss numbers, counting, colors, shapes, and differences. Just doing a page or two a day will enrich your child's vocabulary in a way that you both will find enjoyable.
Mathematical Reasoning - Beginning 1
Mathematical Reasoning Beginning 1 is a highlight for this age. The activities are simple, engaging, and colorful. Whether it is pointing to the group of four yellow horses or crossing off the fish eaten by the cat, this book is a perfect introduction to the basics of math. At this age, math is an interesting puzzle to be solved, and Mathematical Reasoning will not let it become tedious to your child.
Beginning Thinking Skills
You and your child are sure to enjoy Building Thinking Skills Beginning. The colorful pages and (often) lap-friendly activities provide a perfect way to build his emerging thinking skills. Includes fun riddles, multiple component descriptions (e.g., point to the one that is blue and has a corner), finish-the-picture activities, opportunities for him to tell the story behind the pictures, and much more.
Day and Night
Logic for toddlers? I love this Smart Game! Renowned for their single-player games for the older child, Smart Games now has games for the littlest thinker. Day and Night Logic Game is a charming game of logic using colors, shapes, and silhouettes. Each challenge is incrementally more difficult than the last and is geared for your child's growing and developing thinking and motor skills.
Wedgits Starter Tote
There is an amazing amount of spatial and geometric learning to be discovered with the use of Wedgits. The Wedgits 20-Piece Tote, with slightly larger pieces for little hands, is designed especially for two- and three-year-olds. Also includes a Wedgits Building Board and forty-eight design cards, all bundled in a handy carry tote. From simple recognition of the pieces to complex designs, the design cards are grouped into four graduated building levels, growing in complexity to provide a continual challenge for your child's reasoning and manipulative skills. This set will challenge your child's dexterity as well as her creative thinking skills.
Draw and Learn Faces
Draw & Learn Faces is an adorable pre-drawing book to help children of all artistic abilities make essential precursory steps to reading and writing. Colorful pages include space for toddlers to add features, from bulbous noses, spiky eyelashes, and crooked teeth, to wavy hair and fuzzy whiskers. Plus there are pages needing a simple splash of color to complete them, perfect for young children just learning to grasp a crayon.
Jumbo Pencils
A standard-sized pencil is often difficult for sweet, chubby fingers to grasp. These Jumbo Pencils make gripping easier with their large surface area, triangular shape, and appealing grippy nubs.
Grip Trio Pencil Sharpener
True to its name, the GRIP Trio Sharpener has three sharpening stations: one for standard-size pencils, one for jumbo-size pencils, and one designed to prolong the life of colored pencils. Most pencil shapes will fit in the GRIP Trio Sharpener, including round, triangular, and octagonal pencils. And perhaps best of all, the small shavings storage compartments mean you wont have to sweep pencil debris from your table or stand by the garbage can to sharpen a pencil! Comes in assorted colors.
2015 Preschool Complete
My Very First Castles Book
My Very First Castles Book combines history and language study into one colorful, oversized board book. Each 2-page spread covers a different aspect of castle life.
G is for Goat
We suggest reading a new alphabet book every week with your preschooler to help him become familiar with the letters and their sounds. (Your local library will save you a fortune this year!) To get you started though, we've included our very favorite alphabet book, G is for Goat. With the super-sweet illustrations and engrossing look at the life of goats from the perspective of a very young farmer, this book has a ton of appeal to parents and kids alike! Reading should be pleasurable, and at this age that is easy to attain.
Farmland Math
What do you get when you mix a bold, bright, farm-themed play mat with 30 vibrant jumbo farm animals? A crazy-smart curriculum to introduce toddlers to the wonders of math and thinking skills! Farmland Math is 36 weeks of straightforward skill-building math. Gradually spiralling concepts include grouping, counting, patterns, plus rudimentary addition and subtraction skills. Includes a table-size, durable, wipe-clean mat, plus Timberdoodle's exclusive Farmland Math manual to guide you along the way.
Bunny Peek-A-Boo
What a delightful brain game for your two- and three-year-olds! As they arrange the large, sturdy wooden blocks and lovable bunny to match the cards, they will learn prepositions such as on, behind, and under, as well as develop the critically necessary skill of 3-D spatial perception, important for reading and mathematical reasoning. Bunny Peek-A-Boo includes sixty challenges printed on individual cards; a red, yellow, and blue block; and, of course, the sweet bunny.
Twisty Dropper
H20 LaLa!
These cheery eyedroppers add a playful dimension to building fine-motor skills and teaching cause and effect. The perfect size for preschoolers, Twisty Droppers are a grand supplement for early science exploration, and to build little hand muscles, too. Each Twisty Droppers is six inches long. Colors will vary.
Many science experiments are enhanced by the use of colored water. H2O la la's tablets are completely safe, non-staining, and are the easiest way to add striking color to water. American-made for children and with no added oils, fragrances, or soap, H2O la la's tablets will delight your child with fizzy action and a dazzling burst of color. Includes 300 tablets, assorted in both size and color: red, yellow, and blue!
Primary Science Kit
We were smitten the first time we saw Learning Resources Primary Science Kit, and apparently we weren't the only ones. Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio 2010 Gold Seal Award, Primary Science Kit is a collection of ten durable, plastic, easy-to-grip replicas of real-life science lab tools. Simple science instruments sized just right for smaller, clumsier hands, these tools are not just for play. Each chunky tool actually works. Tiny bugs are magnified, measurement markers are accurate, and the sturdy tweezers add a dimension that less extensive sets leave out. The ten colorful, double-sided activity cards encourage scientific inquiry and curiosity. Your children will have a blast pouring, mixing, combining, and measuring their concoctions.
My First Scissors
Let's Cut Books
The Creativity for Kids My First Scissors are really cool, chunky fish scissors that make cutting paper easier for little hands. The ergonomically designed, bright orange and yellow scissors operate with a spring mechanism, are for both right-handed and left-handed use, and feature blades with rounded points for safety. Officially for ages 4+, we've included them in preschool simply because we haven't been able to find safer or better beginning scissors.
Learning to safely use a pair of scissors seems to bring extraordinary joy to young children. In Kumon's Let's Cut Paper series, your child will learn how to hold and control scissors, proceeding from the simple one-stroke cuts of a dog's whiskers to the more complicated zig-zag lines of a king's crown. Pages are sturdy enough to manage, but not so thick as to be difficult to cut.
Imported from Sweden, Bubber is an excellent source of tactile stimulation, improving gross- and fine-motor skills in a satisfyingly gentle way. Startlingly light, it leaves clean, sharp edges when cut and precise impressions when imprinted. Children enjoy working with Bubber because it is not sticky or gritty; it actually feels warm in their hands. And because it is so very soft, even the tiniest or weakest hands can shape this compound. Bubber is messy, so indulge when housework can take a backseat to creativity. But it never leaves a residue, never dries out, and cleans up quickly and easily--you can even use your vacuum!
2015 Preschool Elite
Koh-I-Noor Magic FX Pencils
Now for the little, or maybe not so little ones, comes a collection of pencils that are sure to add pizzazz to any school assignment. Each of the chunky Koh-I-Noor Magic FX pencils contains lead that is multi-colored, so as you draw, the strokes seamlessly change colors. These oversized hexagonal pencils are comfortable to use and the 5.6mm leads are soft and mega-bright. We use ours in our Sunday School class to motivate the kids to write answers the colorful, randomly changing and unpredictable artwork and words is a big incentive. Koh-I-Noor Magic FX pencils can also make excellent doodling accessories. Every Koh-I-Noor Magic FX pack contains one each Magic Original, Magic America, Magic Neon, Magic Fire, and Magic Tropical. Each pencil measures 7 in. long by 5/16 in. diameter.
Draw and Learn Animals
Draw & Learn Animals is another adorable pre-drawing book to help children of all artistic abilities make essential precursory steps to reading and writing. Colorful pages include space for toddlers to add details to a variety of animals. Plus there are pages needing a simple splash of color to complete them, perfect for young children just learning to grasp a crayon.
Dot to Dot For Tiny Tots
The ideal first activity book for toddlers, Dot to Dot for Tiny Tots is full of simple tracing (from one dot to another) exercises which help young children develop their fine-motor and problem-solving skills.
Complete Book of Songs...
As massive as its name implies, The Complete Book and CD Set of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays and Chants incorporates over 700 activities to invite young children into music, language, and imaginary play. This book makes it easy to plan a fresh and enjoyable activity based on whatever theme you want to highlight. Rhymes are an enjoyable way to give our children a rich and robust vocabulary, and help our brains recall words and facts, a perfect workout for developing brains. And because actions, movement, and dances are associated with children's rhymes and songs, your child's gross-motor skills will flourish!
Smart Snacks Trail Mix & Match
Trail Mix & Match initially can be used as a free-play threading activity, especially if this is a new skill for your tot. But once it is easy, dial up the challenge using the suggestions included in Timberdoodles Preschool Handbook where he will learn sorting, color, size and shape identification, how to sequence the mix, and even how to use the numbered candy pieces in a correct manner. Each set includes four pretzels, four raisins, four peanuts, four crackers, four chocolate chips, and five numbered candies, plus a durable nylon bag and two 16 nylon laces.
Haba Town Maze Magnetic Game
New for 2015 with adorable, vibrant graphics is Habas Magnetic Town Maze. Made of plywood, Magnetic Town Maze promotes color identification, matching, language, and listening skills and offers your child a fine-motor activity that promotes concentration, balance, and matching. Also durable, Magnetic Town Maze is perfect for travel or quiet play at home.
Jumbo Bananagrams
Bananagrams for toddlers? Yes! The oversized Jumbo Bananagrams tile is an indestructible, substantial three-inch square, so it is safe even for your little guys. Your child can match tiles, locate a particular letter, or, to really challenge his auditory memory, find a short series of letters. Turn the tiles over and play a memory game, put the tiles in alphabetical order, or spell simple words. Once you get started, you will be astonished at all that you can do with Jumbo Bananagrams! Includes a Timberdoodle Exclusive Parent Quick-Start Ebook guide with play variations and tips.
Big Oball
Bigger circles, bigger holes, bigger ball, bigger action. Everything about the Big Oball is bigger. Yet it is just as smooth and shiny, and just as indestructible, as the Oball Rattle. Kick it, stomp it, crush it, and the Big Oball bounces right back to a perfectly formed sphere. Made of silicone, the Oball is lightweight and durable; just pop it in your dishwasher when the need arises. Multi-colored.

A Career as a Medical Assistant
The Medical Assistant is a multi-skilled allied health professional trained to function in ambulatory care, outpatient clinics, and physicians' offices. The training and education involves administrative front office skills (the business end of the medical practice) and clinical patient care skills. A high degree of flexibility, adaptability, critical thinking is necessary to perform as a medical assistant. People skills are as important as technical skills. Medical Assistants in the front office and back office areas represent the quality care provided by the medical practice. A Medical Assistant works under the supervision of a physician or other health practitioner. The duties of Medical Assistants vary from office to office, depending on the location and size of the practice and the practitioner's specialty.
Medical Assisting is one of the nation's fastest growing health careers through 2022 according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The job market is excellent for a committed, competent, caring Medical Assistant.
Why should you consider a career as a Medical Assistant?
Medical Assisting is one of the fastest growing health careers according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. Demand for medical assistants continues to increase as the health care industry grows.
Medical Assistants are at the frontline of every successful medical practice. Health care providers rely on the medical assistant who is cross-trained to perform administrative and clinical procedures in ambulatory health care delivery systems. Administrative duties include utilizing electronic medical records, coding insurance claims, billing, bookkeeping and scheduling appointments for diagnostic studies. Clinical duties include taking patient medical histories, assisting the physician during exams, collecting specimens, performing CLIA-waived laboratory tests, administering medications as directed by the physician, performing EKG's, drawing blood, assisting with minor surgery and patient education. Responsibilities will depend on the size of the practice.
The HCC Coleman College program trains medical assistants to be multi-skilled and prepared for a fast-paced environment and an in-demand- career.

I have disliked this bed from the first night. Went back to the store within the 30 days trial period to complain and was given 190 days to continue to try it and allow for a "break in" period. I agree with other reviewers that the bed creates a trench for the body. I have wakened with a neck and hip ache every night I slept in the bed. I only realized the cause was the bed when I went on vacation for 3 weeks sleeping in a variety of beds (some in very poor shape) and still I woke without any neck or body aches. Upon my return, the aches started again. I am returning to the store today to find a new bed. Not sure if this is the case for all memory foams or just the iComfort.

Box springs are junk
Serta iComfort
Jun 27, 2013 6:27 PM
Purchased an icomfort mattress 9/4/2011 for $1300. After four months the box springs on my side of the bed bent at the top of the box springs. The support is usually a piece of wood on the upper edge of the box springs, the icomfort is a wire about the diameter of a pencil. When you get in and out of the bed by sitting on the edge the top wire bends. Went to the store where I purchased the bed. The manager said that the problem was the old bed frame. He told me to purchase a new bed frame and he would give me a new box spring for my side of the bed. Purchased the new frame and got the the new box spring. Then my wife's side of the bed bent in the same place along the upper rail. My side of the box spring is starting to sag again. Called the store and they sent out a rep to look at the sagging box springs and they said it was not a manufactures defect. Now I have to replace the box springs on both sided of the bed. I had a Sterns and Foster for thirteen years and never had a problem with the box springs. I would be willing to bet the box springs will be redesigned so the do not collapse. We love the mattress, but the box springs a junk.

Richard Drew, file, Associated Press
LONDON — Richard Griffiths, the versatile British actor who played the boy wizard's unsympathetic Uncle Vernon in the "Harry Potter" movies, has died. He was 65.
Agent Simon Beresford announced Friday that Griffiths died a day earlier of complications following heart surgery at University Hospital in Coventry, central England.
He paid tribute to Griffiths as "a remarkable man and one of our greatest and best-loved actors."
Griffiths appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows, but will be most widely remembered as a pair of contrasting uncles — the hero's grudging Muggle guardian in the "Harry Potter" series, and flamboyant Uncle Monty in 1980s cult classic "Withnail and I."
"I was proud to say I knew him," said "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe.
A large man and a huge stage presence, Griffiths was one of Britain's leading theater actors, creating roles including the charismatic teacher Hector at the emotional heart of Alan Bennett's "The History Boys" — a part he took to Broadway, winning a Tony Award, and repeated for the film adaptation.
National Theatre artistic director Nicholas Hytner, who directed "The History Boys," called Griffiths' performance in that play "a masterpiece of wit, delicacy, mischief and desolation, often simultaneously."
Griffiths also played poet W.H. Auden in Bennett's "The Habit of Art," a hugely persuasive performance despite the lack of physical resemblance between the two men.
Known for his sense of humor, large store of theatrical anecdotes and occasional bursts of temper, Griffiths was renowned for shaming audience members whose cell phones rang during plays by stopping the performance and ordering the offender to leave.
Griffiths' last major stage role was in a West End production of Neil Simon's comedy "The Sunshine Boys" last year opposite Danny DeVito.
In 2007 he appeared in a London production of "Equus" alongside the then 17-year-old Radcliffe.
"Richard was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career," Radcliffe said Friday.
"In August 2000, before official production had even begun on Potter, we filmed a shot outside the Dursleys', which was my first ever shot as Harry. I was nervous and he made me feel at ease.
"Seven years later, we embarked on 'Equus' together. It was my first time doing a play but, terrified as I was, his encouragement, tutelage and humor made it a joy.
"In fact, any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence."
Griffiths is survived by his wife, Heather Gibson.

Open Reading Frame brings together a selection of recent publication highlights from elsewhere in the open access ecosystem. This week we take a look at the past few weeks in biology.
Getting to grips with tentacles
What makes an octopus' suckers suck? Answering this question could lead to the development of an exciting new generation of adhesive materials, able to attach to wet or slippery surfaces. So that's just what a research team from Italy and Germany attempted when they put some tentacles to the test, and unlocked their mechanical secrets. Scanning the surface of suckers using a micro-CT scanner revealed microscopic grooves on their undersides, increasing the surface contact area when pressure is applied and resulting in a sure-footed grip. Despite this, each sucker is actually amongst one of the softest biological materials known – similar in composition to that of jellyfish. This allows both a tight seal to be formed around the surface to which it adheres, and means that each sucker can be close-packed with its nearest neighbours.
Tramacere et al. Journal of the Royal Society Interface
Neurons are switched on to SUMO
Neurons in the brain communicate with each other via chemical neurotransmitters, the release of which from synapses is under the control of interactions between many different proteins. One of these proteins, called RIM1α, interacts with most proteins in a presynaptic region known as the 'active zone', acting as a hub to mediate neurotransmitter release. However, it is not clear how these interactions are regulated within the neuron. Now, a team of biochemists from the UK have identified a protein called SUMO as the molecular switch that mediates this process. By binding to RIM1α, SUMO facilitates the clustering of calcium at channels that allow the release of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles – disruption of which is characteristic of some common neurological disorders.
Girach et al. Cell reports
Beneficial bugs for your beaujolais
The taste of the wine that you drink is strongly influenced by the local microbial communities that interact throughout all stages of the wine-making process. This so-called 'microbial terroir' has been identified from a large-scale analysis of more than 250 grape-must samples collected from across California, USA. Results showed that fungi and bacteria on the surface of grapes are associated with regional, varietal and climatic factors – and could therefore contribute to the taste-sensitive qualities of different wines.
Bokulich et al. PNAS
Reproduction is for experts only
Reproducibility is the lynchpin of science. But just how easy is it to reproduce an experiment from the methodological details reported in a research paper? A group of computational biologists asked just that question when they attempted to reproduce the findings from a previously published article attempting to map known drugs to potential receptors in the tuberculosis proteome. Disappointingly, they find that only those researchers with advanced knowledge of the field were able to successfully reproduce the work. They urge researchers and journals alike to do more to enrich current descriptions of the scientific process.
Garijo et al. PLoS One
Wind sweeps livestock virus through Europe
Schmallenberg virus is a particularly costly livestock disease affecting cattle, sheep and goats. The highest risk for farmers comes when pregnant animals become infected, giving birth to malformed or stillborn young. Named after the town in northern Germany where the virus was first identified, it has now spread all over western Europe, transmitted by infected midges. A major new analysis now confirms that prevailing winds have played a large part in facilitating the spread of this European outbreak, with more than 60 percent of explained infections occurring because of downwind movements of infected insects.
Sedda & Rogers, Scientific Reports
A personal touch to prevent vandalism
Adding a personal message to your fieldwork equipment could help prevent it getting wrecked or stolen when left unattended. Researchers from Germany attached three different types of messages to dummy experimental equipment left out in the open, to see which one was best at preventing vandalism. Personalised labels with messages such as "Part of my thesis – Please do not touch" reduced the number of negative incidents by up to 60 percent when compared with neutral messages, or those threatening to contact the police if damaged.
Clarin et al. Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Three-dimensional electron crystallography of protein microcrystals
Electron crystallography is a method that can be used to determine the structures of very small biological molecules in crystalline form. Similar to X-ray crystallography, a beam of electrons is fired into a crystal, and the resulting diffraction pattern recombined to form the macromolecular structure. Using electron beams means that much smaller crystals can be investigated than using the more powerful X-rays, since the beam causes less damage. However, even then only single images can be taken – creating two-dimensional reconstructions – since the election beam also causes damage to crystals. To overcome these limitations, a team of researchers have now come up with a lab-based method to obtain multiple images using a conventional electron cryo-microscope. By reducing the electron beam strength by some 200 times, three-dimensional crystal structures can now be recreated by crystals that were previously too small to be used.

10 Best Travel Games to Take on the Road
Whether by plane, train, or automobile, being in transit on your way out of town can be mind-numbingly boring depending on the length of travel time and the ease at which you are entertained. With that being said, we should all be thankful that we live in a world where stationary board games can be transformed into travel games by simply shrinking the pieces and stuffing them into portable sacks.
You may be asking, "But Steven, why do I need to pack a travel game when I can easily download fun apps on my smartphone?" My answer to that is twofold — first, because the most fun games like Words with Friends and Draw Something don't work on airplanes (unless you keep your phone off airplane mode or pay for in-flight wifi, neither of which I recommend), and second, because I don't think we should put too much trust in all these newfangled apparatuses lest we wish to one day be ruled by malevolent robot overlords.
But enough chatter about my distrust of technology — here are Travel Freak's top ten travel games to play with a buddy on your journeys:
M.A.S.H. is not technically a travel game, but it makes this list because of how easy it is to take with you on the go — all you need to play this game of divination is a pen, some paper, and a little bit of imagination. The acronym stands for Mansion, Apartment, Shack or House, and when these living options are combined with categories like spouse, job, location, and number of children, the result is a fictional future for you or the person you're playing with. If you never played M.A.S.H. in grade school against some bully who always stuck you in a shack married to the ugly Backstreet Boy, you can find out how to play on this site.
9. Uno
Anyone who knows what colors and numbers are can play Uno, which makes it the perfect game to bring on a solo trip to a country where you don't speak the language. No more lonely nights in that hostel in Moscow playing solitaire if you pack Uno in your carry-on. All you have to do is make eye contact with the hip looking Russians in the common room and suggestively hold up a deck of Uno cards and a bottle of vodka, and you'll be playing game after rousing game until the sun rises over the Kremlin.
Uno: breaking the language barrier, one "wild card" at a time.
8. Travel Mancala
World travelers will be especially interested in this game, which has roots dating back to ancient Ethiopia. You can even see centuries old Mancala boards carved into stone in Axum, the former capital of the once-great Aksumite Kingdom of Ethiopia. Hey, who knew a game that entails moving beads from one hole to another could be so riveting?
7. Old Maid
Full disclosure: I have absolutely no idea how to play Old Maid. Someone tried to teach me once on an 11-hour Amtrak ride to Montreal, but then the dining car opened and I got distracted by a surprisingly delicious microwaved cheeseburger. I may not have learned the rules, but that doesn't mean you can't — find out how to play the (surprisingly easy looking) card game here.
And if you need solid proof that Old Maid is a quality travel game, there's an episode of Sex and the City titled "Luck Be an Old Lady" in which the game plays an integral role during the ladies' bus trip to Atlantic City. If that doesn't make you want to run out and buy a deck of cards, I don't know what will.
6. Trivial Pursuit Singles
Let's face it, avid travelers can be real know-it-alls. I mean, we've been everywhere and seen so much that we naturally know more than everyone else, right? That's why this pared-down version of Trivial Pursuit is a great option for the gamer on the go. The bulky board has been removed, and the best part is that each pack contains only one of the six classic Trivial Pursuit topics so you can select your strongest subject and show off to whoever has the misfortune of sitting next to you on the plane.

Best Shirt Ever!
Most comfortable running shirt I've ever worn, hands down!!!!!!! I hope BC gets more in stock...
Good for hot days
I have tried many running shirts. Running in the summer months is tough for me as I sweat a lot. This shirt is very lightweight, no itching or rubbing. Also has held up well in terms of smell as opposed to many of the synthetics that stink quickly.
Matthew Burleigh
Comfortable, cool, and versatile.
Keeps me dry on hikes and can double as an undershirt for stressful days in the office. The neckline is rather high, so it is better suited to backpacking in the BC rather than trips to the water cooler.

This shirt is great! I have some other under armour shirts that have a blend and sometimes are almost itchy. This one is awesome!! I'm planning on ordering another short sleeve one and also a long sleeved version.
