Individual students and student groups attending academic and professional conferences with a faculty or staff member may apply for mini-grants from the Discovering and Claiming Our Callings Initiative. These mini-grants to attend conferences are intended to enhance the vocational discernment and preparation of Wartburg students. In recent years over $45,000 has been provided to over 300 students to offset the cost associated with attending conferences.
to Apply
Students who are planning to attend a conference after June 1 may submit an application for funds to be used after that time period.
Guidelines for disbursement of funds:
- In order for funding to be approved:
- A faculty or staff member must accompany each student or group of students.
- The conference must be professional or academic (not a student conference).
- Funding from the Callings Initiative is to support student attendance. Faculty and staff should use professional development funds to offset their costs. (Faculty/staff costs will be considered for support from the Callings Initiative if the faculty/staff person typically would not attend this conference and no department professional development funds are available).
- Typically funding will be capped at $200 per student. (Exceptions may be considered under special circumstances).
- Funding is designated to offset the costs for:
- Travel
- Conference fees
- Lodging
- Not for meals
- Funding will be approved prior to the conference, but will be disbursed when the student submits a reflection document following their return to campus. Students must submit receipts for anything they would like to be reimbursed for.
- If a student is presenting research at the conference, Institutional Research funds should be requested prior to applying for funds from the Callings Initiative. Visit: http://www.wartburg.edu/wcur/.
- An effort will be made to distribute funds equitably across disciplines.
- A percentage of the funds will be reserved for distribution during each academic term. Funds are distributed on a rolling basis, so an effort should be made to apply early in a given academic year.
To apply student attendees must submit all of the following electronically to
- Application (XLS) - Please complete all three tabs. The tabs include:
- Tab1 - Conference logistics and attendee information
- Tab2 - Budget planning worksheet
- Tab3 - Conference sessions that will be attended by each attendee
- Written proposal that includes the following:
- A description of the conference and its relationship to the student's major and/or professional interest for each student
- A statement as to the value of the conference for the vocational discernment and preparation for each student
- Additionally, the faculty or staff member who will accompany the student or group must submit a letter of recommendation.
Groups should submit a joint application and written proposal. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. (Please submit applications as early as possible to allow for distribution planning). Coordinators of groups are also encouraged to coordinate the submission of reflections.
- Questions: TJ Warren at 319-352-8651

Young Women's World Forum - Day 5
The final day of the Young Women's World Forum was exciting as delegates spent the morning voting on which of the statements they had developed throughout the week would make the final declaration. Intense debating took place as delegates tried to convince others to vote for their favourite statements; they voted through a total of 12 statements calling Governments, WAGGGS and Civil Society to action change on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), from issuing policies to guarantee sustainable development of the envionment, creating programmes on poverty or ensuring active participation of young women at all levels of society. You can download the full declaration from this website.
Delegates then spent some time in their patrol groups contemplating how they can make an impact – completing their personal action plans to take home with them and writing their personal pledge on a T-shirt to tell the world what they are going to do to help meet the MDGS.
Later in the afternoon delegates presented the final declaration to members of WAGGGS' World Board and Girlguiding UK's executive committee and heard from representative of both organizations on their response to the Forum and the work of the young women present.
The evening rounded off the Young Women's World Forum with a gala dinner where delegates and event volunteers could enjoy each other's company and let their hair down one last time.
Now just watch this space to hear what our young women go on to do when they return home from the Forum!

Congratulations to all the participants! I can see that you learnt and shared a lot. I hope that you go home safe and share the experience with many other young women as well as leaders. It is the only way forward. I also hope that you convince other young women to take up unique opportunities like this to empower themselves and be part of something much bigger. All the Best!

July 31, 2015
A little more than a week ago, News 3 first told you about a proposed plan that would give golfers municipal rates at the Phillips Event Center on Briarcrest Drive, this as the city explores changes to its muni golf course.
Now, that plan is apparently dead.
Mayor Jason Bienski says it's because so many Bryan golfers sounded off against the idea, so there isn't a reason to keep discussing it with Wallace Phillips and his event center staff.
Under the proposal, the city would have paid Phillips $50,000-a-year for 20 years in order to get rates down to muni levels, but at recent meetings, golfers overwhelming said they didn't want to play golf at the Phillips Event Center.
Bienski has floated the idea of changing the Municipal Golf Course into a super park with fields for multiple sports. That will be discussed at a council meeting later this month.
There is one part of the plan that's still alive. The mayor said he'd still like to explore putting a city senior center at the Phillips Event Center.

"When planners talk about long-term, we generally talk about five years," he said. "If you need the money within three years then you probably shouldn't be in the market to start with."
Zhuang said that investors might feel burned if their advisers gave them false expectations.
"If a planner has promised his client that he can predict the market, then the trust is lost," he said. "For a planner, at least in the short term, it is almost impossible to predict the market."
Zhuang noted that even legendary investor Warren Buffett has lost money in the short-term.
"He has recommended buying things since the middle of last year and so far he hasn't been right," Zhuang said.
Since the beginning of the year, stock in Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has fallen 18.6 percent. In the same period, the Dow Jones industrial average has lost 14.9 percent of its value.
Zhuang is suggested that people with long-term goals still buy.
"The market is at a discount now," he said.
But could it go down more? Sure.
"We humans simply can't predict the future. That's God's job," he said. "Don't let your emotions fluctuate with the market. Stick to your plan."

Among Canada's Top 100
While most of us were spending the holiday season decorating our homes, visiting with family and friends and hoping for that special gift we had been hinting at for weeks, Dr. David Johnson received a different kind of holiday cheer. His latest book, Thinking Government: Public Administration and Politics in Canada was named as one of the Top 100 Best Political, Government, Public Policy and Canadian History Books in 2011, by The Hill Times this past December. "It is wonderful recognition for the book and for all the hard work that went into its writing," said Johnson when asked about making the list. "It's nice to know that the book is being read far and wide and that it is respected by students, other academics, and people working with governments and public services."
Being a professor at CBU has been a great experience thus far for Dr. Johnson. A small department where everybody gets along, friendly faculty and the ability to get involved in collaborative research projects are just a few of the reasons he gets up with a smile on his face when coming to campus each day. "I love the small class sizes and the ability to really get to know my students." He concludes that this results in a level of connection with the students that just isn't attainable at larger universities. He also points out that "CBU's small size gives students, faculty and staff the opportunity to get involved in more university wide activities."
With his current book named as a Top 100 Best Political, Government, Public Policy and Canadian History Books in 2011 and two other books under his belt, Johnson has no intention of slowing down anytime soon. He is currently working on his next book with colleagues, and CBU faculty, Dr. Andrew Molloy and Dr. Tom Urbaniak, on the issue of intergenerational change and public service renewal within the Canadian Federal Government.
When he isn't teaching about Canadian politics and government, Canadian public sector management, constitutional law and politics or issues in regional development, Dr. Johnson writes a political insight column for the Cape Breton Post. He is a member of the Old Sydney Society and enjoys reading, cooking and gardening at home.
Hailing from the big city, Dr. Johnson was born and raised in Toronto, Ont. In 1993, he was offered a position with CBU's Political Science Department, which he happily accepted, and has been an honorary Cape Bretoner ever since.

Day 59: The Kitchen, Your Opinions Needed
This is the space for the kitchen at The Lodge. It will be the spot of family gatherings, cowboy lunches, retreats, wild (okay, not that wild) parties, and possibly, online cooking lessons/demonstrations for PW Cooks. The space is great; skylights above and windows on two walls let in a glorious amount of natural light, and both the stone wall in the distance and the slanted ceilings give the room a nice architectural edge.
We have a general floorplan—sketched from the ideas of Marlboro Man (surprisingly innovative), his mom (a design person with great taste) and me (clueless). And I have a general direction in which I'd like to head, which I'd like to share with you now: Rather than a large room with continuing runs of matching cabinets and perfect countertops, I think it would be interesting and more true to the pioneer lifestyle to have the different areas of the kitchen look like…different areas of the kitchen. And ideally, the cabinets (mostly lower; no uppers) would take on the look of old, beautiful pieces of furniture—some with different finishes, different legs, etc. Time was, when country people packed up and left for another homestead, they'd take their kitchen cabinets with them. Now, we don't necessarily need to make ours portable, but the appearance is what I'm going for. For instance, one area of cabinets might have an earth tone finish, really distressed, with black iron hardware; another area could have a painted color with ball feet. Crazy, I know. But I'm feelin' it, man. I'm, like, totally feelin' it.
Oh, and I'd like the whole thing to cost under $100. Yep. Call me crazy, but I think I can pull it off!
When it comes to kitchens there are just so many options. So many directions in which to go. So many products and angles to explore. If you're not thinking about cabinets, you have to think about appliances; if you're not thinking about countertops, you're thinking about lighting. And sometimes, you want to crawl into your own closet, hide under the long dresses and coats, and suck on your own hair, avoiding the whole dadgum mess lest you head in a flawed or ill-advised direction.
As always, I'm interested in hearing from you. You see, as attractive and interesting as I want the kitchen at The Lodge to be, I also want it to be exceedingly functional. What features do you like best in your own kitchens? What do you like least? What do you wish you had, or what would you eliminate if you could? What's most important to you when it comes to cooking? What things should I consider passing trends and therefore stay away from? Many of you have smaller kitchens; what makes them functional? Some of you have larger kitchens; what makes them cozy and inviting? Do you like stainless appliances or cabinet-front appliances? Granite countertops or chopping block or lime green Formica? Wood tones or whites or neon pinks? Or reds? Greens? Yellows?
Your advice/suggestions for concealing the wires in the computer center were brilliant and inspired, so I know whatever you have to share in the realm of kitchens will be, too. Thanks for being here for me.

I have probably missed the bus on this one, since you are probably either done, or way past this point, but hey, maybe it will help someone else. My absolute favorite kitchen design, (even thought you didn't want any upper cabinets) is glass backed (and obviously glass front, other wise the backs wouldn't matter lol) cabinets, it's the concept of a window behind the cupboard, being from Colo. I've seen this in many mountain homes that want the mountain view to come through, rather than be block by , the cabinets. You could do it on a smaller scale, with only a few well placed upper cabinets. Besides, can you imagine how absolutely lovely your Jadeite would be with the light shining through. Also, a few well placed lights inside of the cabinets for evenings. Another must the the stand mixer pull out, pull up thingy like someone mentioned above, brilliant! I love the way stainless appliances look, but being practical, I HATE cleaning them. I don't care what anyone says, I used to clean house for people who had the $ to but them, but not the motivation to clean, and they Suck. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but hey. Anyway, if you did end up with stainless, clean it with rubbing alcohol and a soft rag. My 2 favorite kitchen things, from kitchen of old: The old sinks (not necessarily the deep farm type with the tall backsplash and wall mounted faucets, although those are nice too) but I just love the ones that had the drain boards that ran both sides of the counter. The other, is the old porcelain gas ranges from the 40's & 50's that have the big stove tops and double ovens, etc, now they make the great copies, like Rachel Ray has in her "kitchen". Anyway, I like your ideas about mixing and matching cabinets as pieces of furniture like they used to, I've always thought that is the way to go. I'm going to keep hunting to see if there are update pictures of your progress to see what you came up with. We (yes, even my MM) have been so immensely enjoying your website, I am just grateful that there is so much to read on here, otherwise, what will I do when I run out of stuff to read? Go do dishes or laundry? ughhhh save me please, and keep updating LOL. :o)
Take care
rachel d On Sunday, September 14 at 10:09 pm
If you're going to be having guest cooks, or guests cooking or doing other kitchen chores, allow for the fact that you'll have some pretty tall folks occasionally. I learned from my favorite waiter whom I hired when we used to cater parties—have at least ONE stretch of counter a few inches taller than the norm. Perhaps reading Julia Child's autobiography right now makes me think of that, as well—she always seemed to be bending. (And I see from several posts that LOWER is handy, as well).
My favorite appliance is our little white separate ice-maker, which will make 50 lbs. a day, if you keep scooping it out. It's my favorite luxury.
Vicki Madden On Friday, September 26 at 10:43 pm
I have a pretty nice kitchen now after two others that were just not big enough….One thing I have learned is that you can't ever get enough storage space…..no matter how much it will always be filled eventually. The second thing is somehow get some windows in the place to make it cheerful. Most kitchens have only one window over the sink…try to get another one in. Third thing is to be sure you have enough electric plug-ins! Oh and I actually liked you original counters of stainless steel….probably can't beat that. Just some thoughts for you!!
Olivia On Tuesday, September 30 at 12:48 am
I love hanging iron racks where you can hang all your pots and pans instead of putting them in cupboards. Especially if you don't want upper cabinets, that could be really cool. And I think stools are really fun – I would want a kitchen with a counter with stools so you could sit and have a snack at the counter.
Ginger Cornell On Tuesday, September 30 at 2:13 pm
If there are going to be many cooks, please account for us shorter ones(4'9 here) and have a lower level counter. Oh, please be still my heart-some roll out shelfs!!!
Susan On Friday, October 3 at 12:55 pm
I just finished putting beautiful new granite countertops on, and they completely changed the look of my kitchen! If nothing else, those are a must – plus they double as build in cutting boards. Needless to say, now I'm poor so I stopped there, but there are other things that I would have done:
Under the counter cabinets: MUST be made into pull out drawers. It takes away the digging in the back for that pan lid, etc.
Appliances: Should also have a home in one of those cabinet drawers – with an outlet all built in, so you never have the toaster on the counter again.
Stove top: at least six (preferably eight) range things, and two ovens.
Pans: have then hang above a center island as a decoration, but also very functional! They would be easy to grab, plus your high ceilings would make them so they aren't in the way!!!
Just a few thoughts….good luck and happy planning!
Debbie from Austin On Friday, October 17 at 6:48 am
It's probably past that point, but a WINE FRIDGE! A must have for any chef. One that holds at least 18 bottles! Of Chardonnay!
Nancorama On Thursday, October 23 at 11:52 am
My house has an oven that is in the wall. (A beautiful brick wall no less.)
We have been looking at different houses and I just can't wrap my head around leaving the wall oven.
We are also getting an island and moving the "dining" into another room, which should give us some more much needed counterspace AND some more beautiful countertop to look at!
Torrie On Friday, October 24 at 9:48 am
At the moment we've moved from California to Wyoming and are living with the in-laws until our house sales. So I am dreaming of any kind of kitchen. But my dream kitchen……I would make sure I had counter tops that I could place hot pans on. I had 12 inch tile before and it was ok, but didn't enjoy the grout too much. I've heard bad things about granite and other surfaces staining. I love your idea of the different finishes and such. Barn sink would be nice, lot's of space which your kitchen won't lack. Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Torrie On Friday, October 24 at 9:49 am
oh, and one more thing, I would not get stainless still finish on appliances I can't stand the finger prints.

a walk in cool room is wonderful. that way you can see everything, and hearing about the way you cook and buy in bulk, this is justifiable.

I suggest an island with a butcher block on top. I made one for a friend of us and it's always the meeting point in the kitchen. Drinking a glass of wine while helping him prepare the meal. His is quite small 42″ x 56″ and 3″ thick in maple wood. It could also be the end of the island only. My boyfriend now wants one because he's the cook at our house !

I LOVE my kitchen. It's small, but perfect…and it has so much storage for it's size…you absolutely would not believe how much stuff I have in it (I love dishes, too)…and I can get to everything easily. The BEST part about it is that I can pretty much stand in one place to unload the dishwasher because the cabinets and drawers that hold the glasses, dishes, pots, and flatware, all are within reach of that standing spot where you unload the dishwasher…my husband is a genius, as it was his design. We are about to remodel a different house, and my heart is broken to have to leave my perfect kitchen. The kitchen we're going to be moving into is HUGE and impractical…so I'm going to try and recreate my PERFECT little kitchen inside the giant kitchen. It will be the only space I will use. I would actually love to have a pantry the size of my new kitchen as I love to 'be prepared'…hurricane readiness and all…but that's just me. Love, love, love my perfect kitchen…

First thx for your critique.
The doc gave me a shot of painkiller (and a lecture about taking 5 tylenol in 2 hours
A) i would not want anyone to take my contribution as more than a found opinion on the internet - it est something that might give you some additional input, some questions that you may ask your MD of trust and
B) that english is not my native tongue.
Back to the OP:
Seeing somebody with expertise in neurology is definitely a good idea, he is the specialist in that field.
You mentioned that your problems started while having a cold-
Does your headache still occur/ worsen when you cough?
If so be certain to tell your treating MD about it, it might be a valuable detail..
hope that helps a little

Coughing definitely makes it worse, along with many other things such as yelling or talking loud.
I did tell my dotors about this, and the first doc I saw thought the headache may be related to the cold/pnuemonia I had. Those illnesses cleared up a while ago and the headache remains.
To make things more interesting, today the doc told me I have tonsilitis! Which explains the MAD fever I had yesterday.
Thanks for posting Q_wer.

ExcelDocumentType: New Feature … Freeze Column Header Row
I added a new feature to the ExcelDocumentType object and ExcelDocTypeUtils package that will allow report developers to freeze the column header. This means that the column header row will stay stationary (not scroll away) as the user scrolls through all of the data rows in the worksheet. I have added an example of how to use this feature to the EmployeeReportDemo.sql file in the code bundle.

For more than a month, 20 districts of Bihar, India experienced flooding that resulted in the loss of 125 lives as well as the loss of household assets, crops and livestock.
Water has receded over the last few days but many villages are still cut off. Although this part of northeast India faces flooding almost every year, such massive devastation has not happened for more than a decade.
Currently the government is providing food in affected areas, but it is unclear how long that support will continue.
In addition to food, CRS teams report the following immediate needs in affected communities:
- Drinking water & hygiene
- Shelter
- Health
- Feed for livestock
CRS will help 5,500 families in some of the worst affected villages with water/hygiene kits and temporary shelter.
The kits will include buckets, filtration cloth and water purification tablets to ensure safe drinking water. The hygiene package will include sanitary napkins, baby diapers and soap, among other items.
The areas CRS has targeted for assistance are still flooded with limited access. CRS and our partners will respond as areas become accessible and distributions are able to take place.

Employee Advocacy, Part 2: Putting Employees in Motion
By Maggie Schneider Huston-Oracle on Jul 28, 2015
In the second installment of this series on Employee Advocacy (EA), we are discussing strategies to engage employees in advocacy. Part one discusses what EA is and why it's important.
It's really lovely to talk about how 500 employees could relay your message to a potential audience of 50,700, but it's a lot harder to make those numbers happen. Here's how we do it:
Begging is not a good look (unless you have fur).
1. Executive Buy In
This topic alone could be a blog post in and of itself, but suffice it to say that no one will do extra work for free without the boss saying, "This is a priority." Some quick suggestions to make this easier:
A. Show them the numbers: if you have 500 employees, you can generate 50,700 potential impressions. Present clear goals: Show how social posts can impact revenue. For X amount of time and money, we can expect Y more earned media, which will then convert to Z more sales.
B. Show them how easy it is: If your executives are not social media savvy, the idea of letting their employees run wild on social media can be terrifying. Present a social media policy that clearly outlines employee conduct on social media. Introduce them to the platforms so they feel comfortable with the technology.
C. Show off your company culture: If you're a great place to work, your employees will naturally be jazzed about sharing their experiences. Happy employees are genuine and effective ambassadors for your company.
2. Employee Buy In: What's In It For Me?
Now that the C-Suite is on board, there are several different approaches to enlist your employees as advocates:
A. The "Personal Branding" approach: Let's be honest - the days of staying with one company for 30 years are over. It comes down to this: establishing your personal brand online will help you find your next job. Leaving a digital footprint that demonstrates your expertise in professional areas that matter to you will provide you with more opportunities than an employee who just posts pictures of their cat.
B. The "Incentives" approach: Who doesn't love a gift card? Or perhaps a preferential parking spot? Lunch with the CEO? There are plenty of ways to reward positive behavior. Many EA tools come with a "leaderboard" that will track which employees are having the most success advocating for your company. Unleashing your employees' competitive spirit can be very effective. If you don't want to pit individuals against each other, you could also evaluate groups of employees as a team.
C. The "Performance Review" approach: Unlikely to be successful, and here's why: no one wants to be forced to advocate for something they don't believe in. If you're mandating that your employees post once a week, that could lead to resentment. Don't do it.
3. All Aboard!
Great! You've got the C-suite and (some) of the employees on the advocacy choo-choo train. Here's how to roll out of the station:
A. Cover your legal bases first: make sure everyone knows your social media policy. You want your employees to feel comfortable posting online; knowing what they can't say goes a long way.
B. Offer social media training: no question too small, no idea too dumb - let 'em rip. You're the social media expert, so teach your employees what works best.
C. Content Distribution/EA tool: You've got to get your content to your employees. There are several options available for EA. Most tools will offer a mobile app, an email alert, and some sort of leaderboard. If a formal tool seems too expensive, perhaps an email blast to your advocates works best. Just be sure to figure out a way to distribute content (and pre-populated posts) to your advocates, so they don't have to work too hard. Make it as easy as possible for them to share your content.
I'm having some problems!
Don't worry - everybody will. In the final part of our series, we will discuss tips and tricks that we've learned from our own experience in EA. Stay tuned…

FARIBAULT, Minn. (AP) - A former Shattuck-St. Mary's teacher has pleaded guilty to seven counts for sexually abusing six students at the Faribault (FAIR'-boh) boarding school.
Minnesota Public Radio reports that Rice County District Judge Christine Long accepted the plea from Lynn Seibel on Friday.
The 71-year-old entered the plea more than a year after police opened an investigation into his alleged sexual contact with students. He was charged last October with 17 felony counts for alleged possession of child pornography and the sexual abuse of six male students from 1999 to 2003.
Seibel left Shattuck-St. Mary's in 2003 after child pornography was found on his computer. Police apparently were not told about that incident, and he wasn't charged. He had been working as an actor in California before his arrest last year.

Would you consider marrying someone with chronic financial problems? Someone who works very hard, but always out-spends the earnings? Someone who over the course of several years who has been through bankruptcy, needed help with mortgage payments, utilitly bills, car payments? Someone who has adult children, but still feels the need to help them financially?

Fort Fairfield Woman Critical After Head On Collision
A Fort Fairfield young woman is in critical condition following a head on crash in Easton Sunday afternoon. State Police said a 2008 Toyota pickup operated by 67 year old Barry Belyea of Portland was traveling north on Rt. 1A when his pickup partially crossed the centerline into the path of a 2004 Honda sedan operated by 19 year old Abigail Ladner of Fort Fairfield who was traveling south. The head-on collision took place near the intersection of Rt. 1A and the Lamoreau Road.
Abigail Ladner sustained life threatening injuries and is in critical condition at EMMC in Bangor. Belyea sustained minor injuries and a possible concussion from the crash. He was treated and released from the hospital in Presque Isle. The investigation is still ongoing, but it does not appear alcohol or speed were factors .
The crash , which took place about 4:30 p.m., is being investigated and reconstructed by Tr. Rob Flynn. He was assisted by Troopers Clark, Quint and Marquis. The Easton Fire Department responded to the crash site to extricate the injured who were pinned in their vehicles, and Crown Ambulance also responded to the scene.

EMMY® AWARD-WINNING WORDGIRL® PUTS BAD GRAMMAR IN THE SLAMMER FOR A SECOND YEAR THIS FALL ON PBS KIDS GO!sm
Beginning September 12th, everyone's favorite fearless heroine faces new nemeses in 18 new episodes produced by Scholastic Media's Soup2Nuts
New York, NY (August 11, 2008) --
Scholastic Media announced today its Emmy® award-winning animated series,
® (
) – produced by Scholastic Media's animation studio Soup2Nuts – will return this fall for a fun-filled second year on PBS KIDS GO!. Beginning September 12, 2008,
fans everywhere can tune in to vocabulary-filled adventures in 18 new episodes.
"The response to
from audiences and critics alike has been overwhelmingly positive," said Deborah Forte, President of Scholastic Media and Executive Vice President of Scholastic Inc. "Scholastic Media and the entire production team at Soup2Nuts is thrilled to be delivering new episodes with the quality writing, animation, and stories that kids and parents have come to enjoy."
This fall, WordGirl and her trusty sidekick Captain Huggy Face will take on dozens of new challenges in the brave pursuit of better vocabulary for all. WordGirl faces familiar nemeses – the Butcher, Dr. Two-Brains, Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy and Lady Redundant Woman among them – and daring challenges from irreverent new characters like the antiseptic Steve McClean, Professor Tubing, the Masked Meat Marauder (c'mon, what other cartoon has two meat-wielding villains?), a mighty metal Mouse-Zilla robot, and more.
has received numerous awards and accolades in the children's programming genre since its debut in September 2007. The show won the 2008 Daytime Emmy® for "Best Writing in Animation," the 2008 Television Critics Association Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Children's Programming," a 2008 Parent's Choice Award in the "Parent's Choice Recommended" category, and a 2008 Pulcinella Award Official Selection as part of the International Showcase at the "Cartoons On The Bay" festival in Salerno, Italy.

When there is trouble in The City, this super heroine-in-disguise uses vocabulary to defeat outlaws bent on "word" domination. With the help of her faithful monkey sidekick, Captain Huggy Face, WordGirl spends each episode defeating a quirky cast of villains – from Dr. Two-Brains to The Butcher – with her power punches and dictionary strength. The show is designed to enrich children's vocabulary, instill a love of language and foster better reading comprehension. To extend the show's vocabulary-building, the
website (
) will feature new videos and games, as well as updated installments of "Power Words" and "Freeze Frame" featuring vocabulary words from the new episodes.

AccuWeather update brings a new look, customizable forecasts
AccuWeather for iPhone has received a major update to version 6.0, bringing with it several improvements, including new, user-defined forecasts, as well as a new interface. The new look takes cues from AccuWeather for iPad and presents the user with a cleaner, more efficient interface than previous versions.
Users can now create customized forecasts with My AccuWeather, tailored to different activities. You can set your ideal conditions for temperature, wind speed, wind gusts, if it should be sunny, should there be rain or not, etc., and give that list a name like "Fishing" or "Running". Going to MyAccuWeather in the app and going to that forecast will show you how the actual weather measures up to your ideal conditions, saying things like "It's colder than you'd like" and "It's just the right amount of wind", and forecasting how conditions look for that activity for the rest of the day.
Other changes include forecasts that now refresh every five minutes, improved stability, and bug fixes. Forecasts now also contain percipitation probability, along with options for more or less weather detail in the forecast. To change the amount of detail you see, simply drag the conditions panel up to reveal details like humidity, cloud cover, visibility, and the UV index.
AccuWeather is free, with a $1.99 option if you want to remove the ads.

AccuWeather update brings a new look, customizable forecasts
Ditto... and the plethora of one-star reviews on the App Store would suggest we're not alone.
Did that to me as well. Deleted, reinstalled and works fine. But what's with the location names in light Script lettering???? Did they hire the UI director of Pinterest to overhaul that part? Bold lettering again PLEASE!!!!!!!
I will give this a try
I actually deleted the app BEFORE the update I got this morning. I noticed it on my iPod since I removed it from my iPhone. I updated it just to see what was so different. And it's very much different. I like it better now...better look and doesn't seem as bulky. However, as Rene had a whole bit about Weather Apps earlier, I prefer TWC app (The Weather Channel). The thing I like most about that app, is that there are videos that don't have a commercial for every single one, like AccuWeather does (or at least that is one of the reasons why I deleted it from my iPhone and I just may delete it from iPod anyway), plus the main feature of TWC for me is that they have Twittering on it. I love reading peoples reactions and I love seeing pictures they post of the weather from time to time. It's rather engaging and fun for me. They do need to update app with the many crashes though. I am not getting the crashes that the above have mentioned on AccuWeather though.
This app has a bug!
I like to use the weather channel app for weather. i think it's much better
Like others here, not my first choice for a weather app.

This simple little floating boat bounces off walls, can be steered with a flashlight, and won't hit something head-on.
Step 1: MATERIALS
hot glue + glue gun (silicon optional)
two small DC motors
two water bottles
two small propellors
arduino + USB cable + computer
wire strippers
a plastic box
a 9V battery + a connector
a power diode (like 1n4004)
some resistors
a soldering iron + solder
a MOSFET transistor or TIP 120
2 few switches + 2 photocells
Step 2: Put the motor in the cap
2. Poke a hole in each cap
3. Apply hot glue to the inside of the cap, but not on the hole. Slip the motor shaft through the hole. When dry, the shaft should spin freely.
Do this with both bottle caps and motors.
Step 3: Tape the water bottles together
Step 4: Solder leads to the dc motors if there are none
Solder on long (about 10") leads to the motors, if there aren't any.
Step 5: Cut a slit in the water bottle
This is the hole through which the wires from the motors will poke through.
Step 6: Put on the cap and feed through the wires
I tried to do this project with two 3V DC motors and used a 9V battery to power the Arduino. However, the 9V battery drained fast in about 10 minutes when the Arduino is running the 3V DC motors through the 3.3V pin, how can I solve this problem?
You have a picture when its floating? I'm trying to picture it floating and wonder if the water leaks through the motor shaft holes, unless the shafts remain above water. How do the bottles remain air/water tight with said shaft holes?
I would like to see a video showing how it moves under its own control.
Great instructable by the way!

Razer™, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, announced the launch of the Razer Hammerhead series of in-ear headsets, two all-new audio solutions for mobile gaming and music.
The Razer Hammerhead in-ear headsets offer incredible durability and fantastic audio quality from their 9 mm neodymium drivers, making them excellent choices for music listening on the go. The headsets come in two versions: the Razer Hammerhead and the Razer Hammerhead Pro, with the latter sporting an omni-directional microphone with an in-line remote for phone-call control, perfect for convenient voice communication.
With interchangeable ear-tips included in three sizes and optional bi-flange attachments, the Razer Hammerhead in-ear headsets offer ultimate sound isolation.
The inner acoustics chambers of the Razer Hammerhead in-ear headsets feature a sonically optimized design to increase aural resonance. Paired with high-performance, precision-tuned, 9 mm neodymium drivers, the headsets produce a sound signature packing strong bass while maintaining crystal clear mid-levels and highs.
The Razer Hammerhead Pro In-Ear Headset is an in-ear monitor (IEM) engineered from the ground up to set the standard in portable gaming audio. Machined out of aircraft grade aluminum, the Razer Hammerhead Pro embodies ultimate durability packaged in a lightweight, comfortable form factor.
Supreme quality sound would be wasted if drowned out by stray, ambient noises. That is why the Razer Hammerhead Pro comes equipped with interchangeable ear-tips in 3 sizes, along with an optional pair of bi-flanges to provide superior sound isolation and bass response.
This exceptional audio solution also features an in-line omnidirectional microphone with one-touch phone call control for crystal-clear, convenient voice communication with mobile devices on the go.
Topped off with a compact carrying case for portability, the Razer Hammerhead Pro epitomizes the way in-ear monitors should be experienced – with style, comfort and aural fidelity.

The annual Every Goal series will run Monday to Thursday through July and August, remembering every goal scored by the Canucks, player by player. Today, we take a look at Alex "Galen Bradwarden" Burrows.
Alex Burrows had a quiet year, but I don't mean that quite the way it sounds. It's not that he wasn't good, or that he was ineffective — it's that he was exactly as effective as he usually is.
Burrows's role on the Canucks is so cemented now that he's finally beginning to be listed as a right winger in some places. He's a natural left winger and he's even admitted to preferring to play that side, but for four years, he's been the right winger for the Sedins. This year, people began to realize that three seasons as a right winger kind of sort of makes you a right winger.
It's a small, but symbolic shift. This was Burrows's fourth straight season above the 25-goal mark. He really is the guy he's been for the last four years. But this means expectations change. A 28-goal campaign isn't met with the surprise it was when he first did it in 2008-09. It's about par. As a result, it seemed like a quiet year because we're used to him surprising us.
It was still fun, though. Here are the first 10 goals of Alex Burrows's 28 in 2011-12.
Alex Burrows's first goal of the season is a very rare sight indeed: it's a powerplay goal, one of only nine Burrows has scored in his career. With Ryan Kesler out to start the season, Burrows saw a promotion to the top unit, and he makes the most of it here, taking the puck from the side of the goal to the crease and jamming it in. Afterwards, Derek Dorsett crosschecks him multiple times, because he heard if you crosscheck a guy enough times, sometimes the ref disallows the goal.
Rough shift here for Corey Potter, who loses the puck off his skate to the corner, then accidentally pokes it to Henrik Sedin, then loses Burrows coming off the wall and finds himself two steps behind when Burrows cuts through the crease to accept Daniel's centring pass. The Canucks are always looking for a fourth defender to help the Sedins create more offence — maybe they should consider Potter.
This is just a beautiful goal on a play Burrows starts and finished. He makes a drop pass for Daniel, then walks the blue line to stay onside as Daniel enters the zone. Daniel makes a drop pass to Salo, who steps into a slapper, leading to a rebound from Nikolai Khabibulin. Henrik Sedin picks it up, makes a drop pass to Burrows, and it's in the back of the net. Part of me wonders if this was a set play, especially with the way Burrows and Sedin overloaded the far side looking for the rebound.
Burrows is the last guy you'd ever accuse of not working hard enough, and he shows some serious effort here, finding a puck in the crease after he's already been cleared out of it by a Calgary defender. Granted, it's a little easier since he and Ryan Kesler have leapt onto Miikka Kiprusoff like he's a trampoline, but still. Hard work.
Consider: two days after this goal was scored, David Payne was fired and Ken Hitchcock was hired. I'm not saying this goal was the reason why, but man, you could see how it could be. A sloppy change is exacerbated by the worst turnover of Kevin Shattenkirk's career, a lazy backhand to Alex Burrows, who steps into the slot. As if the turnover wasn't gift enough, the puck jumps right in the air, then comes down behind Brian Elliott and goes off his backside and in.
There are few things quite as entertaining as watching Alex Burrows go at it with Shane O'Brien. The two are hardcore frenemies, always looking to get the best of one another. Give this interaction to Burrows, who comes in two-on-one with Henrik Sedin — Shane O'Brien being the one — then suckers O'Brien into clearing out his own goaltender for the goal.
You can hear Burrows calling for this puck from the blueline. He gets it a little late, but he still manages to convert, picking up his own rebound and beating Mike Smith.
Burrows ices a game versus the Blue Jackets, potting an empty-netter after chasing down the puck on a Ryan Kesler clear.
What a gorgeous goal this is. After Henrik Sedin sets up behind the Predators' goal, Daniel and Burrows go to work trying to give him a passing option. For Daniel, this means trying to get open. For Burrows, this means attempting to interfere with both Predators in front of the goal at the same time. Eventually, Henrik comes out, and Burrows suddenly switches from interferer to converter, getting his stick on the ice in front of his man. Henrik finds him easily with a humdrum swiveling no-look backhand pass with a man draped all over him.
A little hook to the hands from Burrows causes the puck to squirt free to Daniel Sedin late in a game versus the Carolina Hurricanes. This is the last person to whom you want a puck to squirt.

2014 update - passenger vehicles built between 1997–2012
You've got your sights set on that car. It's the right price, looks good, and it's the perfect size for what you need. But there are two important factors you may not have thought about.
It is important that your vehicle offers you good protection from injury in a crash – but it is also important that your vehicle offers good protection to other road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists or the drivers of other vehicles involved in a crash. For example, the crash statistics analysed by Monash University indicate that large SUVs are more likely to cause serious injuries to other road users in a crash than most other vehicle types.
The Used Car Safety Ratings charts provide you with the crash safety rating for the driver. Models of vehicles that cause lower injuries to unprotected road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, as well as providing good protection for the driver, are awarded the "Safe Pick" label. "Safe Pick" vehicles also feature Electronic Stability Control (ESC). If you are serious about reducing road trauma you need to consider how your vehicle protects other road users as well as you, the driver.
how these ratings are calculated
Records from over 7 million vehicles in police-reported road crashes in Australia and New Zealand between 1987 and 2012 were analysed by Monash University's Accident Research Centre (MUARC). The ratings were calculated using an internationally reviewed method and are influenced by the vehicle's mass, the structural design of the body, and the safety features, such as airbags and types of seat belts, in the vehicle.
Each of the driver protection ratings in the 2014 update has been recalculated based on the most recent crash data available so they are not necessarily comparable with the ratings in previous years' brochures.
The scores for each individual make/model are compared against the ratings for all other vehicles.
The ratings are about the risk of injury related to the vehicle in the event of a crash. They are not about the risk of being involved in the crash in the first place, which is generally determined by a range of factors including driver behaviour and crash environment.
Used Car Safety Ratings are part of RACV's contribution to the safer vehicles component of the Decade of Action for Road Safety.
