SCRANTON — Police are searching for the killer who shot a taxi driver early Friday morning.
Investigators have identified the taxi cab driver who was killed on the job along the 1600 block of Crown Avenue in South Scranton around 4:30 a.m. Friday.
He is Vincent Darbenzio, 47, of Scranton.
He lost his life on the job just about a mile and a half from his own house, and just a short time before many kids in this area were waking up for school.
"I saw someone who was shot in the back of his head, obviously. The bottom of his body was still in the vehicle. The top of his body was on the ground," said Misty Losavich.
When Losavich walked out of her front door, this is the scene that eventually unfolded on Crown Avenue with police everywhere. Investigators confirm Vincent Darbenzio, 47, of Scranton, a McCarthy Flowered Cab taxi driver was murdered.
It's the second homicide in the city this year.
"At the very least, that's someone's son who's senselessly no longer with us," said Losavich. "I'm still shaken. I don't even want to talk with the kids about why they can't come outside and why they can't go to school."
"This is just absolutely barbaric, and even for the kids who live in this neighborhood to have to wake up this morning and see a homicide steps from their windows, it's just ridiculous," said Brian McCarthy, President & CEO of McCarthy Flowered Cabs.
McCarthy learned about the death of his employee overnight. He says the cab driver had been on the job for only about five weeks and was a hard worker.
"He made a pickup in west side and he told us where the destination was which was over where we are now. The dispatcher never heard from him again. The dispatcher started to get very nervous and started to send other cabs out looking for him one of our other cab drivers found him here apparently hanging out of the cab with a gunshot wound to his head," McCarthy said.
The violence took place near the Valley View Terrace housing development in Scranton. We were there as parents helped their kids head off to class. Police were also on hand asking questions, with hopes of catching the person who pulled the trigger.
"It was graphic, it was bloody, and it was senseless. And it was sad," said Losavich.

See Ben Affleck When He Was 12! The A-List Actor Then and Now (PHOTOS)
Remember The Voyage of the Mimi, that 1984 educational series about a humpback whale survey you may have sat through in fifth grade science class?
If you do, you probably had a crush on C.T. Granville, the grandson of the Mimi's captain, who was played by none other than A-list actor Ben Affleck. (Ben also starred in the sequel, in which the Mimi heads to Mexican waters to explore ancient Mayan ruins. It's a thrill ride.)
Just look at young Affleck's shaggy, dirty-blond 'do! My, how times have changed...
We still find it hard to believe that Ben, who was only 12 when he filmed the math- and science-heavy PBS show, now has three children with superstar wife Jennifer Garner; an Oscar (for Best Original Screenplay with Matt Damon for Good Will Hunting); and a strong directorial career (Gone Baby Gone and The Town). His other, less swoonworthy badges of fame? Two failed Hollywood romances — one with Gwyneth Paltrow (1998-2000), the other with American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez (2002-2004) — and a 2001 stint in rehab.
It's a good thing Bennifer didn't work out, because Ben, 39, ended up with one of the cutest celeb families ever... rivaled only by Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's.

McAdams & Morford Drugs, an old-time soda fountain that was a popular lunchtime spot for more than five decades, was known for its pimento cheese sandwiches.
Long before the drugstore at the corner of Main and Upper streets closed in 1993, Jerry Fitzgerald of Louisville, a former Lexingtonian, tried for years to get the recipe from fountain manager Kay Robinson. She gave him a few hints, but never revealed the true recipe. Fitzgerald has experimented with a variety of recipes and finally has a very close, if not true, recipe.
Jerry's pimento cheese
1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 pound American cheese, shredded
1 jar (4 ounces) diced pimentos, undrained
1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimentos, undrained
1/2 jar Hellmann's mayonnaise, about 15 ounces
In a large bowl, mix cheeses together. Add pimento and juice. Mix. Add mayonnaise and mix. Consistency will be thin. Cover and refrigerate overnight and it will thicken.

Another economic snapshot from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).
There has been much debate recently about the infrastructure spending provisions of economic recovery proposals, which some policy makers would rather replace with tax cuts. This is a bad idea—as we have previously written, it is widely recognized that infrastructure spending provides about 25-50% greater boost to the economy.
A new report by The American Society of Civil Engineers argues that even the infrastructure investment contained in current stimulus proposals falls far short of what is needed to raise the nation's infrastructure to "good" condition. Assuming government investment on infrastructure remains constant, the report found that the recovery package as passed by the House of Representatives only covers about 8% of the five-year infrastructure investment gap, and that an additional $1.1 trillion is needed.
We should not allow our children and grandchildren to be saddled with the burdens of a crumbling and outdated infrastructure. The recovery package should include more infrastructure investment, not less.

It's no secret that one of our biggest guilty pleasures is Celebrity Ghost Stories on the Biography Channel, what with it's dramatic reenactments of paranormal activity as described by the B, C and D-List actors who had close encounters with the creepie crawlies. But to find out that Lady Gaga is terrified of evil spirits and hires paranormal experts and ghost hunters "clean" the rooms she stay in when she travels, that's taking it up to a whole new level.
Gaga allegedly shelled out close to $50,000 for Electro-Magnetic Field Readers which are supposed to be able to detect ghosts. While she fears the ghostly element of the spirit world, she embraces other spiritual forces and Gaga claims to be the reincarnation of her aunt Joanne. In an interview this summer, she said "My father's sister Joanne died when she was 19 and he was 16. And when my mother was engaged to marry my father, they were staying in his house, where he grew up, and a light came into the room and touched her stomach and went away. She believes that Joanne came into the room and sort of OK'd her for my dad and that Joanne transferred her spirit into my mom…So, when I was born, it's almost as if I was her unfinished business."
At least this explains why she's never gone so far as to wear a Slimer-inspired dress. She fears the ectoplasm.

Group helping disabled vets in business
Local organization hosted 3-day convention
SAN DIEGO - Several hundred veterans gathered last week in San Diego for the 10th annual convention of SDVOB, or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, a group that started out of necessity.
"Coming back from Vietnam, not only were we facing the stigma of the war, we couldn't get a job," said Bob Mulz, one of the four original founders of the organization.
"We felt if a person couldn't get a job, let's see if we can get them into a business of their own," he added.
Now in 40 states and in Guam, the organization brings businesses and veterans together for an annual convention with chapter meetings held every month.
"We want to educate the public as well as businesses that disabled doesn't mean unable," Mulz said.
The three-day event included workshops, an awards dinner on the USS Midway and something called a matchmaking session where veterans are connected to corporate and government agencies for one-on-one meetings.

This is not how it should be
This is not how it could be
This is how it is
And our God is in control
This is not how it will be
When we finally will see
We'll see with our own eyes
He was always in control
And we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God
And we will finally really understand what it means
So we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God
While we're waiting for that day
This is not where we planned to be
When we started this journey
But this is where we are
And our God is in control
Though this first taste is bitter
There will be sweetness forever
When we finally taste and see
That our God is in control
And we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God
And we will finally really understand what it means
So we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God
While we're waiting for that day
We're waiting for that day
We'll keep on waiting for that day
And we will rise
Our God is in control
-Steven Curtis Chapman
Oh how I miss that smiling face! Tomorrow marks a month since Dad went home to be with his Savior and it still doesn't feel real. It's hard to imagine not hearing that laugh again.
....I love the line of the above song where it says, "though the first taste is bitter, there will be sweetness forever. When we finally taste and see. That our God is in control".
Dad would tell me to stop trying to control things because God alone has control (not because he had that down...if you knew him you knew he still worried :)) yet because of his tendency to worry I believe God impressed this truth on his heart in a special way. Sometimes I find myself having to declare those words to my heart in the hard days. Because even though I know its true my heart doesn't feel it. I want to be in control of my life and it's hard to let go of my plans and how I imagined my life to look like today and rest in God's hands knowing he is in control and the craziness I feel is not outside of his plan or control. How I long for the day when I finally taste and see. When all of this pain makes sense. When I can stand before my Savior and see the whole picture and in response cry out Holy, holy, holy is my God!
It's fun sometimes to think about what Dad's doing. I know very little theologically about heaven (something I'm struggling through) but I like to picture him laughing, smiling that grin, and worshipping Christ. I wonder sometimes, is he with the two babies my mom miscarried? How cool and weird is that thought! Although I can't really know what Dad is doing I know that he is completely satisfied, that the tears have been wiped away, his body restored, his joy complete. No matter how great his life here was it can't even compare to the party he's having now.
All because our God sent his son as a humble baby to be born in a manger, then to be betrayed and crucified to pay for our sins. That puts a face on Christmas this year. I grasp that gift in a way I didn't before.
This Christmas is bound to be different. I won't be in Oregon so although I might not notice my Dad's absence physically I know my thoughts won't be far from that. Yet even in the sadness of my loss I have more reason to celebrate this Christmas because I'm so much more thankful for what I gain through Christ. I'm thankful that for this season in my life while I'm here living in this broken world that I have loving husband who is super supportive, three brothers who can make me laugh, two sisters who relate to me, a loving mom, hope and a God that is in Control!

Note: The PCPS Executive Committee meets three times each year (typically January, May and September). The next meeting will be held September 17-18 in Washington DC. Please communicate your questions or suggestions for the executive committee either to EC members directly or to Natasha Schamberger.
PCPS Technical Issues Committee (TIC) Advocacy
TIC monitors technical developments that could significantly affect private companies and the firms that serve them. When standards are written, TIC submits informed comments and recommendations in support of small-medium size firms.
PCPS Networking Groups
Different sized accounting firms have different needs. Therefore, PCPS offers practice management networking groups, roughly segmented by the number of CPAs in the firm, that allow members to connect on a regular basis. There is also a networking group for human resource professionals or those with human resource responsibilities in the firm.
LinkedIn – Professional Networking Site
Join the PCPS group on LinkedIn and enhance the networking benefits of PCPS by identifying and reaching out to fellow PCPS members. Check out the AICPA's Women in the Profession and Emerging Partner Training Forum groups, too.
You can follow PCPS conversation from PCPS staff and members using the hashtag #AICPApcps or follow @AICPA.

Country queen Kellie Pickler and her fiancé Kyle Jacobs extended a few very special invites to their big day – to their pet posse!
The singer's menagerie of animals, which includes dogs Pixie, Maddie and MooMoo, as well as snake Boots, may play a part in the nuptials, Pickler tells PEOPLE Country in its September issue.
"I'm thinking of having the python be the ringbearer!" Pickler, 24, jokes. "We've been talking about incorporating the dogs – they're like our kids."
Adds the bride-to-be: "But we wouldn't want an accident to happen down the aisle."

March 2013 Update
By Bill Fleming
Many people have asked me what's happening with the Focus Forward CI effort in Tazewell County. I'd like to provide an update on the activities of the Tazewell County team, which I chair.
I would characterize Tazewell County as early adopters of Focus Forward CI. Last September Tazewell County Administrator Michael Freilinger appointed a diverse group of economic development professionals and business leaders from throughout the county to our committee.
Our committee first met on October 4th. We met four times in October and early November, discussing our purpose and also planning the Tazewell County asset mapping event we held on November 13th at the Ashland House in Morton. After a wrap up of that event, we met a few more times to plan the vertical asset mapping event on Education & Workforce Development held on January 8th at ICC South in Pekin.
Since then we've met about three times each month. To date we've completed the following tasks:
We prepared a SWOT analysis of economic development in Tazewell County.
We took the regional list of unique assets and pared it down to Tazewell-specific assets. We also added a few more assets to the list.
We filtered the assets and, combined with industry concentrations identified our high value / high demand industry clusters.
We took the regional SMART goals and developed our country specific measurements. We even broke a few of those goals down to the municipal level for Pekin, Morton, East Peoria, and Washington.
As we work towards the July celebration milestone event, our Tazewell team has several important tasks yet to complete:
Finalize the draft of our county's primary issues of challenges and opportunities
Plan a vertical asset mapping of the county's TDL (Transportation, Distribution and Logistics) assets. The committee sees this as our county's highest value / highest demand industry cluster.
Conduct additional rural outreach to ensure we're getting input and buy-in from some of the smaller communities in the county who have not been actively involved.
Finalize the draft of our SMART goals, objectives, and action plans. We've already got a good start on this task. But we need to make sure it addresses our issues of challenge and opportunity, and that it is a balanced approach.
Invest time validating our work with our elected officials – especially those in the four large municipalities and the country board.
It's been a great journey so far. The people involved on our committee have been working as a team as we've moved through this process. We look forward to July, when we'll present the final plan.

Without fittings we can not guarantee you will not need a few alterations. We suggest searching for a tailor that is local to you and who has reputable on-line reviews. Yelp.com is a wonderful resource. We suggest EVERY bride make an appointment with a tailor in the two weeks prior to her wedding, even when your gown is a perfect fit on arrival. This exciting time can cause weight fluctuation among some brides. Dolly and her team take pride in packaging and preparing gowns for shipping, however, some wrinkling may occur in transit. Pressing or steaming wrinkles (along with alterations) are the responsibility of the bride. Thank you so much for your order!

Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series on "Navigating the Nursery."
Purchasing new plants is exciting for gardeners, but when shopping trips become plant death marches, it may be time to reassess the way you shop. A little preparation can make the difference between plants that barely survive to plants that really thrive.
I would be remiss if I didn't remind gardeners to collect and submit soil samples for analysis prior to adding new plants to the landscape, and to repeat the test every two years. Soil testing is inexpensive, yet the report provides a wealth of valuable information to the gardener.
Once you collect your soil sample, bring it to Clemson Extension Service, where for $6 a sample, it is sent to the Clemson University Agricultural Service Laboratory for testing. The lab provides a detailed report that includes information about soil pH, soil fertility, and nutrient-holding capacity, as well as recommendations for any necessary amendments such as lime, sulfur or fertilizer.
Water quality can be an issue for Lowcountry gardeners who rely on irrigation wells for watering their plants. Seasonal water table changes and natural minerals and salts found in well water may create suboptimal growing conditions for some plants.
Clemson also offers irrigation water testing from $10 to $25. For more information on soil and water testing and other agricultural tests available for home gardeners, go to www.clemson.edu/public/ag_services.html.
Do your homework before buying plants. Research-based websites such as the Clemson Extension Home & Garden Information Center provides factsheets for hundreds of common landscape plants.
Can't find a particular plant? Check the Extension websites of neighboring states with coastal regions and climatic conditions similar to ours such as North Carolina State, University of Georgia, or University of Florida. All of these sites offer in-depth plant profiles and information on plant culture.
Avoid invasive "problem" plants by checking the list available in the Invasive Plant Pest Species of South Carolina booklet found at http://www.clemson.edu/psapublishing/pages/forestry/forlf28.pdf.
When making your plant wish lists, try to include both the common names and the Latin or botanical names. A full botanical name includes the genus and species, as well as cultivar, variety, or trade name.
Showing up at the garden center with only the common name for your plant is like walking up to the paint counter and ordering "off white" paint. Without specifics, there is too much room for error.
Locally owned nurseries offer regionally appropriate plant material and have experienced staff to assist their customers. These professionals can help guide your selections, but a discerning eye will help avoid plants destined for the compost pile.
For example, when buying annuals and perennials:
Choose plants with plump, unopened buds rather than those in full bloom.
Remember that plants that are regularly allowed to completely dry out and wilt become stressed and often struggle to thrive in the landscape.
Avoid off-color foliage, damaged limbs, insect infestations, or other injuries that can spell trouble. Walk past discount racks unless you are willing to take home a sick plant.
Inspect the undersides of leaves and along stems for aphids or scale problems.
Ask the nursery staff to help you gently examine the roots of plants. Healthy roots are plump and whitish in color. Refuse plants with brown, mushy or smelly roots.
Be aware that plants with lush foliage and weak, spindly root systems will suffer in even the best garden settings when the temperature rises.
Trees and shrubs are long-term investments. Avoid purchasing plants if:
The container seems conspicuously small compared to the size of the plant it contains.
The root flare is buried below the soil surface.
There is evidence of excessive pruning on young trees.
Specimens are so pot-bound that the container cannot be cut away without damaging the roots.
Stems and trunks can break, so be sure to carry trees and shrubs by the container or root ball.
Finally, never transport plants home in an open truck bed. Imagine the devastation 60-mph winds would have on a landscape, yet every day shoppers stand hundreds of dollars of plants upright in the back of a pickup truck and whiz home at highway speeds.
Protect new plants by laying them down in the truck bed and covering them with a securely fitting tarp. Loose tarps flapping in the wind can damage foliage and break stems.
Be sure to water plants well upon arriving home, and again before planting. Avoid removing dry roots from containers in order to prevent damage to their tender roots.

I believe it is close to a block into a sun punch where you step and thrust into it at the same moment the hand comes straight from under the chin elbow down with a snap or thrusting motion at the end causing a circular motion with the hand. I believe this motion is used to strike hard and fast making it hard to block, I know it shows the palm strike but Ibelieve it can be used with just about any straight strike palm fist point so on and so forth. I just am speaking on the video of the guy in the white posted by it is fake.

Guitar-Controlled Live Sound Processing
The Endangered Guitar is a journey through the land of unending sonic operations, an interactive hybrid between a guitar and a computer. The software "listens" to the playing, to then determine the parameters of the live sound processing.
The guitar is the sound source, but the same sound is also used to control the software. Sounds of the guitar are processed in realtime, pitch and various other parameters of the actual playing serve as control source of the processing. Additional control sources are a proximity sensor and accelerometer data from the iPhone.
Current projects sometimes use sound input from other players to be processed, but the live sound processing is still controlled by guitar sounds.

Before December 11, 2008, few Americans had ever heard of Bernard L. Madoff. Yet after his arrest for running what authorities allege was the largest Ponzi scheme in history, Madoff not only achieved the sort of notoriety that is reserved for arch-criminals; he also became, in an instant, one of the most famous Jews in the world.
Madoff had been managing billions of dollars for investors who thought they were beating the market with the steady gains he reported. The profits were illusory. There was only a decades-long scam in which the "returns" of early clients were paid by the contributions of those who came later.
In the days following the revelation of the alleged $50 billion scam, the willingness of the press to refer to Madoff's Jewishness set off alarms in a community uniquely sensitive about the way in which its members have historically been singled out for opprobrium. The theme of Jewish financial skullduggery is, after all, a familiar one in the canon of anti-Semitic invective. Madoff's religion and his nefarious business practices were quickly intertwined by many hate-inspired Internet posters, which in turn aroused concerns at the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee that the Madoff moment might mark the beginning of a new and uniquely dangerous wave of anti-Semitism.

Troy tells building owner: repair or remove
Posted at: 04/09/2013 5:19 PM
Updated at: 04/09/2013 5:39 PM
By: Kumi Tucker
TROY - City Engineer Russ Reeves and his team took a good look at the old Hillside Cleaners building on Third Avenue in North Troy. They walked around with the owner of the building.
Sunday, a large window fell out and smashed onto the sidewalk. Neighbors worry someone could get seriously injured. They say there are animals, and falling bricks, and something else, maybe chemicals or mold.
"There's a funny smell that comes out of there. In the summertime, it's worse," said neighbor Cecilia Maloney.
Reeves said they are still investigating the smell. The building has no floor, which obviously limited their access inside.
"I am afraid it's either going to fall down and take the house next door with it, or it's going to catch fire," said Maloney.
Reeves said the back wall is in danger of collapsing.
"We're going to provide {the owner} a very strict time frame to deal with this problem. If he does not comply with it, he has to be thinking about removal," said Reeves.
Piotr Wozniak said he's owned the building for four years and wants it to be a factory to build furniture.
"There's no smell. There's no gas in there, there's no dead animals. They never smelled it," he said, referring to Reeves and his team.
The owner's crews were there today, working inside.
City officials told NewsChannel 13 yesterday that the building was up to code, but Reeves said that is definitely not the case.
Neighbor Rita Canfield said she's afraid to let her grandson play in her yard next door.
"I think it should be taken down, myself," she said. "Because what good is it? It's falling down all the time, glass falling out, windows are falling out, no floor."
Reeves said the owner has until the end of the week to board up the windows, and must shore up the back by Tuesday as part of an eight-week stabilization plan. The city engineer estimates all the stabilization work will probably cost the owner about $300,000.

Science Could Soon Bring Species Back to Life
Professor Hank Greely participated in a KQED discussion hosted by Michael Krasny about the ethical issues surrounding the possibility of de-extinction.
Can, and should, we bring species back from extinction? Advances in biotechnology may enable us to revive the passenger pigeon, the great auk, and even the wooly mammoth -- and help restore biodiversity and genetic diversity in the process. But critics say that de-extinction efforts distract from important conservation priorities like combating habitat destruction and saving existing species. We discuss the issue.

Houseplant Primer for the College Student
As fall quarter at the University of Washington begins today, I'm reminded of my days as an undergraduate with a bit of regret that I never had an opportunity to live the dorm life. In many ways, I'm actually thrilled that I saved money and stayed out of serious trouble by not dorming, but I'm constantly approached by friends who have just moved into dorms or have new living arrangements where they're making an effort to liven up their surroundings.

National Union of Teachers' head of education, John Bangs, has hit out at the Universal label over marketing methods that he calls "unacceptable."
Universal has been recruiting children to promote their bands, including McFly and Busted, in the playground and the classroom, according to today's Guardian. Pupils are encouraged to sign up to the kiddie equivalent of street teams, and are required to put posters up in their schools and hand out flyers in exchange for the usual free stuff and, if the investigation is to be believed, personal calls from the bands themselves.
The kids also partake in the usual teaming activities, such as posting on Internet messageboards under band names (hello, McFlyMadwhatever?) and making request e-mails to radio stations.
Mr Bangs' displeasure at the label's methods was countered by Universal themselves, who claim that they've been running the scheme for some two years, and that the children actually enjoy it.
DiScuss: Is this exploitation gone mad!?

Love and Obstacles (original 2009; edition 2010)
by Aleksandar Hemon
Work details
Love and Obstacles by Aleksandar Hemon (2009)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Hemon's style knocks me out. His language and syntax read like poetry. The situations in this collection of stories have a lurking dread just off screen somewhere.
The content and temporal setting reminded me strongly of How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone|2048143|How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone. I wish a little bit that I had read them more closely together in my own temporal setting. Three-and-a-half stars.
I really think Aleksandar Hemon is one of the most underrated authors of our time. Though I think some of his other works are more astounding outright, this is very subtly effective in its statements. He's had an interesting life and no doubt that helps make these stories diverse and exceptional. It's interesting to see how others and his experience have shaped him, making him one of the greatest authors of today. In this book, he skirts the line between what seems like fiction and nonfiction and makes us believe in the honor and beauty of both, which is remarkable.
I would recommend reading others of Hemon's first. Nowhere Man is fantastic and Lazarus Project is utterly brilliant but it's the kind of novel you savor and it takes you a long time to finish it because you don't want it to be finished.
Judging by this collection, Aleksandar Hemon is an average storyteller. Well, average in the sense of literary talent. His characters are pretty average. In most ways, Hemon's stories seem pretty average.
Where Hemon stands out from the rest of his literary contemporaries, however, is in his use of language. It is both gorgeous and original. He is able to paint an image of a common object in a way no one has before, and he does it over and again. Sometimes it is a stretch--but if the reader can forgive Hemon the occasional blunder, they will be amazed at his overall mastery of language.
It is interesting that Hemon himself learned English as an adult. He was visiting the US when civil war broke out in Bosnia. He picked up the language and began writing years later. In his writing, Hemon doesn't use the cliches that most writers repeatedly use as a crutch (perhaps unknowingly). He tears down the English language, and carefully, as if it were clay, reshapes it and molds into something that is quite the same, but entirely different.
Throughout this collection of short stories, I went back over many sentences, reread them and pondered their beauty. The stories weren't that memorable, neither were the characters, and soon I will forget them entirely. But those sentences--those extravagant sentences--they made reading the book well worth it.
I started reading this book of short stories and thinking I don' twant to read short stories - you commit to a book and you want to follow the characters through to the end. Short stories call for too much multiple short-lived bursts of commitment in a book. How wrong I was. I have been reading one story after the other. The disconnected temporary lives of the dispossessed. You could only rightfully write like Hemon if you had lived that sort of life, had those sort of inner lives. I am looking forward to reading the Lazarus book when the library gets it in.

The linked stories of "Love and Obstacles" center around a young man from Yugosalvia who immigrates to America. In dazzling prose, Hemon (himself an immigrant from Yugoslavia) portrays the complications, "the obstacles," of growing up in a Communist but cosmopolitan country, and the disintegration of that country and the consequent uprooting and move to America in young adulthood.… (more)

Parents of toddlers know how greatly things change when a child becomes mobile. Suddenly, what was once harmless can pose a real danger to your child's safety. Even the friendliest family pet can be a danger if parents don't take the right precautions and teach their children as early as possible how to safely interact with pets.
Most problems that arise between a dog and a child occur when the child reaches the crawling and walking stages. When the child starts to toddle, the pet might feel threatened. What was previously a little being that mom or dad carried around is now living and moving in the dog's floor-level realm. Pets often don't know how to read the new little human's strange behavior—flailing arms, invading the dog's space and sometimes accidentally falling on the pet.
Toddlers and young children who are learning to walk and talk can learn a lot from very closely supervised interaction with the family pet. Try to involve your children in very simple dog care and training activities. It makes your pet a more well-mannered family member and teaches your child humane treatment and effective communication. Often, just the presence of your child in the same room while your dog is receiving his favorite things or activities can help build positive associations with children.
Here are some easy ways to involve your toddler in your dog's care:
A great way for a toddler to interact with pets in a positive way is through play. Allow your child to play supervised games that foster cooperation and control—games such as fetch with a football or Frisbee, blowing bubbles, hide and seek (with your dog finding the kids for a toy or treat), kicking a soccer ball around or learning fun tricks.
Many pets adore children and will withstand vast amounts of roughhousing, but it is best to begin setting limits on play. Avoid tug of war, wrestling, ear pulling, pony riding, toy hitting, fur grabbing, chasing and any rough play. All of these activities teach your dog to be rough with humans and to grab and bite. Do not allow any family member, including adults, to engage in rough play with your dog. Your dog will attempt to play those games with your children and the results will not be harmonious. Don't allow or train your dog to do anything that you would not want him to do with your own toddler.
If your dog is high-energy, exercise him yourself through jogging, biking or a hard game of fetch before he interacts with your children. If your dog becomes too excited during play, end the game immediately and try again later when your dog is calmer. Some dogs get excited and may even become more dangerous when children scream and run. Teach your child appropriate safety behaviors around dogs.
One to three years of age is a time of exploration and for putting things in the mouth. A pet who is possessive about his toys and food can be potentially dangerous to a child, so set ground rules from the beginning. Teach your toddler basic dog safety rules and never allow the dog and child to interact in an unsupervised environment. Work with your dog regularly until he understands and obeys signal words. For example, repeat "Easy, Easy, Easy" to your dog so he will know when it's time to be calm.
Teach your children not to take a toy out of a dog's mouth or to be near an animal when it is eating. Toddlers and crawling babies don't recognize the imaginary special boundaries that adults see. A child 6 months to one year old will grab at whatever is in his or her path, so ears and tails are targets. Children have to be carefully supervised around animals to avert any unexpected reactions. For the pet's sake and your child's safety, keep pet food and feeding areas away from crawling and toddling children. It's easy to maintain child-pet harmony by simply minimizing the chances of your pet's feeding time being unpleasantly interrupted.
Teach your children the possum stance. Children are small, move erratically, yell and generally act crazy. Most dogs either would like to chase them or become fearful of them. Teach your children that if a dog is chasing them, and possibly even barking, growling or nipping, to immediately stand still. Arms should be folded across their chest or over their face. Their voice should become soft or completely quiet. By doing this, your child instantly becomes a lot less interesting to the dog. Odds are the dog will calm down and go off to do something else in a matter of moments.
Teach your children to report to you whenever they hear the dog growling and it is clearly not during play. A growl is a warning that your pet is not okay with the immediate situation at hand. Unless your child understands to back away immediately, they could be bitten. If you hear your dog growling at any time other than playtime, consult a professional immediately. Aggression problems, unless addressed quickly, tend to get worse.
To ensure the safety of your children and your pet, hire babysitters that have experience with pets and carefully instruct them on how the child and the pet are allowed to interact.
Teaching your toddler to respect animals, and your pets in particular, is a valuable lesson that will serve him across many aspects of his life. To toddlers, treating a pet with respect is as simple as the Golden Rule, but there are many ways to approach this.
Here's what you can do:
Children need to learn the rules. Children should be taught to pet softly, stay away from food dishes, toys and bones and not to startle the pet when he is sleeping. All of these things can and should be done with the pet but only while you are there to supervise and once you have first trained your pet to enjoy and tolerate all of the above, using positive methods.
Child-pet respect is a two-way street. As much as your child is being taught to give respect, the pet must be taught to give it as well. The best way to ensure that your pet respects the family hierarchy (with the pet at the bottom) is to give your dog his own bed, on the floor and out of your child's bedroom. Letting your dog sleep with your children is not only unsanitary—it increases the risk of zoonosis—but it also relays a message to the dog that your child is a littermate. Littermates sleep together. Littermates get bossed around by being jumped on, pushed over, growled at, snapped at and finally bitten. You can protect your child by preventing your pet from viewing them as an equal. If your child insists on having the dog in their room, crate train your pet and put the crate in your child's room for sleeping only.
The normal sudden movements and high-pitched noises of a toddler may cause your pet to become overly excited or agitated. It is important to continue monitoring interactions carefully. Never leave a child, no matter what age, alone with a dog. Every dog bites under the right circumstances. Make adult supervision a strict rule in your household.

The Hanukkiyah (Menorah)
There is great leeway in the appearance of the Hanukkah lamp.
By Dr. Ron Wolfson
We Also Recommend
Many people refer to the hanukkiyah as a Hanukkah "menorah." Menorah is the Hebrew word for lamp, and specifically refers to the seven-branched candelabrum that was used in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. The Hanukkah lamp contains nine branches, though it is possible to find some antique European examples with 10 candle holders. Reprinted with permission from Hanukkah: The Family Guide to Spiritual Celebration (Jewish Lights Publishing).
While eight lights are required on the hanukkiyah, one to be lit each night of Hanukkah, it became customary for the Hanukkah menorah to have place for nine flames. The ninth flame is called the shamash ("the servant"), for its purpose is to light the others. The reason for the shamash probably derives from the legal principle that the Hanukkah lights themselves are not to be used for any purpose other than to "publicize the miracle." Thus, a "servant flame" is needed to light the other eight, keeping them from serving the pragmatic function of lighting another flame.
What Kind of Material Should a Hanukkiyah be Made of?
The hanukkiyah may be made out of any material. Metals, ceramics, even woods are common. Some prefer metal, to remember one of the stories given for the eight lights. Pesikta Rabbati, an early collection of midrashim, records that when the Maccabees entered the Temple, they found eight metal spears left by the Greeks, from which they fashioned the first hanukkiyah–a kind of prototypical beating of spears into eternal light.
The freedom of expression enjoyed by modern Jewish artisans has resulted in a panoply of beautiful hanukkiyot. The only caution about their form is that the receptacles for the lights should form a straight row [and be the same height], not a circle or semicircle, lest the flames appear as a torch. One can thus tell by a glance at the hanukkiyah which night of Hanukkah is being celebrated. It may also have something to do with the rabbis' attempt to remove any hint of the pagan torch festivals from which the winter solstice candlelighting was originally adapted.

Great turn out for the last TT this year with 28 turning out for the pain and the pleasure(BBQ afterwards). Dave Drakes record from last week still stands with Hazen Simpson recording the fastest time this week only 20 seconds behind Dave at 32.10. Mr consistancy Mark Goodwin turned another stunning single speed lap and equaled his time of the previous week at 33.00. Lucy Fullerton has the ladies record at 37.00. Good to see a couple of roadies having a go with fitness not equating to speed on this course. Not sure what Blair Coupe was doing upside down in a bush- dont think there are any sheep on the course??. Anyway thats it till after Xmas so all the best to one and all. We will restart on the 20th of January so hone those skills- theres got to be a sub 30 out there somewhere. Cheers, Mark.Deans TT3

ESPN wrong about Romo, Bledsoe
1 a.m. SHREVEPORT, La. — ESPN and other national media outlets would be wise to stop speculating that Tony Romo could supplant Drew Bledsoe as the Cowboys starting quarterback this season.

County officials have said they plan to incorporate the gravesite of Zachariah Godbold, Baldwin County's only known Revolutionary War veteran, into the new cemetery's commemoration of the area's history. Godbold is buried in Saluda Hill Cemetery, a small private site, located next to the veterans cemetery.
Burglary, in first, second or third degree, is a felony under Alabama law. Sheriff Huey "Hoss" Mack said in a press conference Thursday that Moody was shot at another location and moved to the pier.
The original 1-cent sales tax was supported by 59 percent of Baldwin County voters in March 2010. A survey of likely voters conducted by the Capital Research Survey Center found that 75.7 percent would support continuing the tax beyond its May 31, 2013 expiration date.
Sheriff Hoss Mack and Robert Stankoski were both asked if the teens were running away when the shots were fired. Both said that no one has been able to confirm what was happening and that it's still under investigation. Stankoski said his question was also whether the shooters were defending themselves or their property and, if not, why anyone would have fired.
While smaller battles and skirmishing continued in some areas until June of 1865, Blakeley, with about 40,000 taking part in the fighting on April 9, is often referred to as the last major battle of the Civil War.

In Brazil, when it comes to SEO (long tail), just remember to How to do link building on Hub Pages, meta tags, url friendly, URLs with keywords entrenched, keyword research and more than a dozen internal factors,But SEO is not about that and, as important as these factors are external factors, specifically the linking that is made to a blog or site through the techniques of linkbuilding. After all, we do not have to Advertising on Google forever to get real results.
How does the construction of Link Building?
When you type "define: link building" into Google, we get two answers:
The process of structuring the total number of external links to a particular site.
It is the name given to the practice of gathering as much links to your site. It can be natural (ie, links from other sites and webmasters who liked your content) and artificial (achieved by exchanging links or registration in directories and social bookmarkings).
As you can see in the illustration above, The more links your site receives, the more he "rises" positioning in search engines. Obviously there are a number of other factors that are taken into account, but now we are focused on understanding the importance of links.
The process of getting those links is what we call link building and techniques that are used are highly diverse, some are extremely simple, how to make records in directory sites, and that others already have a level of greater knowledge and deeper, but at all levels of difficulty, all have basic features, including the creativity and care in finding good locations for the creation of relevant links or the development of techniques to gain links naturally.
After the above explanation, here's another definition of link building created by me:
Link building is the way to get relevant links to certain pages, naturally or artificially, so that the same influence and improve the placement and visitation of a site.
In upcoming articles we publish on this site, make an explanation of some of the existing link building techniques that are successful and the Internet, but for now you just know the importance of that item in the SEO process.

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) College Intern program (CIP) provides a unique opportunity for college students majoring in Criminal Justice, Criminology, and business, technology and other social science related fields of study from across the country, to participate in a Federal Law Enforcement training environment. Each year, two intern sessions lasting up to twelve (12) weeks each session, are conducted at the FLETC. Housing on the FLETC sites in Glynco, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina, and Artesia New Mexico is also provided for interns selected to participate in those locations.
The internship sessions expose selected interns to the world-class training that is offered at the FLETC, as well as the functions and roles that may of the administrative business lines provided in supporting the FLETC training mission. Internship experiences, whether in a Law Enforcement training related fields, or administrative support business lines serve to broaden the intern's foundation for future careers in federal law enforcement or federal public service.
The FLETC CIP is highly selective and competitive. After being selected to participate, all interns are assigned to a mentor who serves as their educational guide for the duration of the internship. Those selected for the Law Enforcement internships should expect to spend approximately fifty-percent of their time completing worthwhile work to advance the mission of FLETC, and the remaining fifty-percent, attending basic and advanced training courses – depending on the duty locations assigned. Those selected for business-related internships will be assigned challenging administrative projects that provide experience and insights in how FLETC business lines support the law enforcement training mission. All interns may participate in those training events that serve to provide greater awareness of the FLETC mission and operations. The CIP stresses flexibility and creativity by encouraging interns to experience everything FLETC has to offer to further their education and career goals, while making professional contacts.
