In May, Christian Choate's body was found in a shallow grave, buried under cement and lime near an Indiana trailer park. Investigators believe the boy died two years ago at age 13.
They also believe Christian's father, who led police to the grave, had for years beaten the boy and kept him in a cage.
After Christian's death, "police found letters he had written about how he wondered when anyone would check on him or give him any food or water," Rep. Geoff Davis, Kentucky Republican and chairman of the House Ways and Means subcommittee on human resources, said at a hearing Tuesday.
Christian's tragic death is finally getting high-profile attention, as happened with 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, whose decomposing body was found in a bag near her home in 2008. Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, was recently judged not guilty of causing the toddler's death.
But there are at least 1,770 U.S. children who died of maltreatment in 2009, and there are probably many more that were unreported, said Mr. Davis at the hearing. He and his colleagues asked a panel of experts what can be done to prevent these deaths, as well as learn lessons from past tragedies.
The answers included better data collection about child fatalities, stronger state support for child protection services and family support, and training for medical professionals so they can recognize signs of child abuse and neglect.
"Deaths due to neglect are especially underreported," said Theresa Covington, director of the federally funded National Center for the Review and Prevention of Child Deaths at the Michigan Public Health Institute.
Neglect means leaving young children to drown in bathtubs, suffocating infants by getting drunk and falling asleep on them, or leaving children to die in hot cars or in a house that subsequently catches fire, said Ms. Covington. Another form of neglect is failing to seek prompt medical help for children who are obviously ill.
But states vary greatly in their handling of these issues, said Ms. Covington. "What Mississippi calls child abuse, Connecticut might call a sad accident, or vice versa."
If more is known about child deaths, Ms. Covington said, states can take useful actions, such as teaching families how to prevent home fires, requiring proof of professional home visits with troubled families, and requiring emergency room personnel to report certain child-injury cases to child protective services.
Congress should create a national commission to end child abuse and neglect fatalities, so a national strategy can be developed on this issue, said Michael Petit, president of the Every Child Matters Education Fund.
In a report released Tuesday, the Government Accountability Office said that 1,770 child deaths were reported to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) in 2009. However, it is likely that many more children - possibly 2,400 - have died from maltreatment, the watchdog agency said.
The NCANDS data "are just the tip of the iceberg," added Dr. Carole Jenny, director of the child protection program at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, R.I., who advocates specialized training on child abuse for pediatricians.

Every day Israel is threatening this and attacking that.... as Israel ever thought that this rhetoric (or aggressive BS as it's known in some places) actually makes the situation worse? If you are constantly bragging and yacking about attacking people in an act of 'pre-emptive defense' (more BS) then what do you think these people are going to do? I know what i would do if lived next door to an ASBO family.

I love Isherwood's style of writing. It is crisp and precise yet it manages to capture the emotions and disguised qualities in all the characters wonderfully. These two novels also serve as a splendid introduction to the lives of people living in the years of the Nazis' gradual rise in Germany.
I do wish the author would include more of his personal life in the stories though. To quote Armistead Maupin who wrote the introduction to this book and in which he spoke my mind regarding this matter: "While his voice was seductive in its elegant economy, his eye was always turned towards the Others; his own life, particularly his sex life, was a blank."
Nevertheless, it is an outstanding book. I look forward to getting my hands on the author's other works.
If we want to be technical about it, The Berlin Stories is actually two novels in one. The first, Mr. Norris Changes Trains (American title: The Last of Mr. Norris) is just under 200 pages while Goodbye to Berlin is just over (207). The Last of Mr. Norris contains the famous line, "I am a Camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking" (p 1). Even though both stories are connected, I will review each story on its own.
The Last of Mr. Norris - Mr. Norris is a mysterious man. Wealthy one minute, impoverished the next. A sexual deviant with prim and proper manners. Shady friends. He is the focal point and the most developed character of The Last of Mr. Norris. Indeed, Isherwood wanted his readers to focus solely on the character of Mr. Norris throughout the entire novel. The subtleties of this complex character needed to be teased out somehow. Isherwood found that vehicle through the first person narrative of Norris's English friend, William Bradshaw. From Bradshaw you learn there is something sinister and cunning yet beguiling about Norris. The only other "character" is Berlin in the 1930s. Hitler is beginning to gain power. Communism. Spies. Alliances. Blackmail. How Norris moves through this world is what makes the story interesting.
Goodbye to Berlin - Isherwood explained that in order to have the reader truly focus on Norris every other character needed to be culled from The Last of Mr. Norris. In Goodbye to Berlin those orphaned characters have found a home. Characters like Sally Bowels, Frl. Schoeder, Otto Nowak, and Peter ----. As an aside, the composition of Goodbye to Berlin is a little different from The Last of Mr. Norris. This time the chapters are titled: A Berlin Diary (1930), Sally Bowles, On Ruegen Island (Summer 1931), The Nowaks, The Landauers, and A Berlin Diary (Winter 1932 -3). Favorite lins, "With a mere gesture of wealth he could alter the whole course of our lives" (p 48) and "The political moral is certainly depressing: these people could be made to believe in anybody or anything" (p 90).
I'm very glad to have read this, and am glad to have read it all the way through. The people, the voices accumulate in such a way that the whole is, as they say, somehow more than the sum of its parts. Had I just read the Sally Bowles sections (I mostly wanted to see where _Cabaret_ came from), I think I would have dismissed it as too light & frivolous—didn't he •see• what was happening? But of course he did see, and the horror and nausea of the lived experience is there. It just grows inevitably.
I think I will be reading more Isherwood.
These are clever stories written by an Englishman between 1933 and 1938. I classify this as historical Fiction because, though not written retrospectively, they are mined by the current writers of historical fiction looking for trenchant details. And they are well worth reading just as they were made, conjuring up a vision of the end of a liberal state and its replacement by a fascist one.
They are fascinating for a Berlinophile like me; these are familiar streets, distanced from the present by eight decades and the Third Reich. On the one hand, there is the depiction of young and somewhat irresponsible expats spending and shagging their way around an exciting city, a situation which, while not exactly universal, has none the less been replicated in many other places and times (as a glance around Place Luxembourg in Brussels most Thursday evenings will demonstrate); on the other hand, there is the fact that this amazing city was the centre of a society that was turning on itself and about to turn on the rest of Europe. Nobody sees the Nazis coming, and yet everyone does; they are like frogs in a heating saucepan.
The two books are actually very different from each other in structure. Mr Norris Changes Trains is the less polished work, a character study of Mr Norris whose pretensions of respectability are overshadowed by his history of dubious business dealings, his unorthodox sexuality and his activism with (but not quite in) the Communist Party. Goodbye to Berlin is a collection of several shorter stories which were never quite combined into a single novel, so that there are characters in common but less of a coherent thread. Yet Isherwood is more ready to let his sæva indignatio show, and it's a better read if more disjointed.
One last point: Mr Morris Changes Trains is dedicated to W.H. Auden. Goodbye to Berlin is dedicated to John and Beatrix Lehmann - that's the same Beatrix Lehmann who played Professor Amelia Rumford in The Stones of Blood shortly before she died, and her brother.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0811200701, Paperback)Christopher Isherwood was a diverse writer whose accomplishments included The Mortmere Stories (Edward Upward Series), A Single Man and a translation of The Song of God (Bhagavad Gita). But many critics hailed The Berlin Stories, the reissue of two of his best novels, as his finest. In the book, a man named Christopher Isherwood, who is and is not the author, writes a story of exile, combining the best of Isherwood's real life with the best of the life he imagined.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:09:14 -0400)
A two-in-one volume containing the works The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin finds the characters of Sally Bowles, Fr�ulein Schroeder, and the doomed Landauers caught up by the nightlife, danger, and mystique of 1931 Berlin.

Product review: Obama t shirts from Destination Sewn.
Gorgeous original artwork. Ugly conventional tees.
These rather spiffy looking shirts from local shirt maker Destination Sewn look great and beautifully evoke a sense of…well, hope—unfortunately, this company isn't yet fully walking the walk. While most of their products are sourced from American Apparel, which is a good thing, the shirts that were made for the DNC (pictured) were from not-so-nice Fruit of the Loom, a company that isn't known for good eco-practices or for fair treatment of its workers. So while I'm all for shopping and buying local, I'm way more in favor of shopping companies that consistently walk their walk. Destination Sewn shows great promise, but it'd be nice to see them living up to that promise a bit more.

Japan Says Trade Surplus Is Up Sharply
Published: September 17, 1997
TOKYO, Wednesday, Sept. 17— The Japanese merchandise trade surplus rose more sharply than expected in August, the Finance Ministry announced today.
The surplus soared a seasonally adjusted 51.1 percent in August from July to 1.099 trillion yen ($9.12 billion), the Finance Ministry said. That was almost double the increase expected by economists. It was the third gain in more than five months.
From August 1996, the surplus grew 113.6 percent to 742.06 billion yen.
Exports rose 3.3 percent from the previous month. Imports declined 6.7 percent, another sign that an increase in the national sales tax since April 1 is discouraging consumer spending.
''With the effects of April's tax increase still here, there's no sign of a recovery in imports, and I can see exports rising through the year-end,'' Maki Miyazaki, an economist at Yamaichi Research Institute of Securities and Economics Inc., said before the trade report.
The politically sensitive trade surplus with the United rose 59.8 percent to 350.60 billion yen in August from a year ago. About one-quarter of Japanese exports go to the United States.
United States officials have said that they would raise the issue of Japan's trade surplus at this weekend's meeting of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in Hong Kong.
Japan's trade surplus with Asia expanded 27.2 percent, to 520 billion yen, in August from the corresponding month in 1996.
Overall imports totaled 3.238 trillion yen in August, the Government said. Imports were sluggish even as the dollar has lost about 5 percent of its value against the yen since May. That makes American goods cheaper.
Seasonally adjusted figures compare imports and exports from a month earlier, while ironing out differences in the number of working days and exceptions created by Japan's fiscal year.

Join us for
2oth Annual
Madison County
Hop Fest
The Madison County Hop Fest surpasses all of the other fests out there because it is the only one of its kind that can proudly declare that it celebrates over 200 years of hop heritage that began right here in Madison County! It was right here in Madison County that James Coolidge from New England planted the 1st commercial hop yard on acres of farmland in Bouckville. It was also right here in Madison County where James Coolidge was the first to transport hops to the New York City market in 1816. Thus, establishing a commercial agricultural connection between the hop fields of CNY and the agricultural commodity marketplace. (Cultural Resource Survey of Hop Heritage Sites in Madison County. Nell Ziegler, 2007. Survey funded by Preserve New York, a grant program of the Preservation League of New York State and the New York State Council on the Arts.) Many Madison County farmers followed in Coolidge's footsteps turning over their fields into commercial hop yards as did the farmers from neighboring counties- Montgomery, Schoharie, Chenango, Otsego, Herkimer and Oneida. The Madison County Hop Fest is a signature event for Madison County and New York State for that matter, as there are no other fests that can make the historic claim that New York State's Hop Heritage began in their county.
The Madison County Hop Fest celebrates the past, present and prosperous future of the hop industry in Madison County and throughout New York State. At the 20th Annual Madison County Hop Fest we will have: programs about hop culture in NYS; home brewing demonstrations; exhibits on the history of hops; exhibitor booths from hop suppliers, hop farmers and beer clubs; paired beer dinner at Ye Olde Landmark Tavern (Sept. 18. 6 pm. Tickets are $60); Taste of Hops: food and beer pairing (September 19, 12- 2 pm Tickets are $20 advance/ $25 door); sampling of craft beer (Sept. 19, 2:30-5:30. Tickets are $25 advance/ $30 door); crowning of Hop King (Sept. 19, 2 pm) and a Hop Kiln Tour (Sept. 20, 8:30 am- 5:30 pm). Participants on the tour will board a motor coach to explore beautiful historic hop houses and related heritage sites, while stopping along the way to sample craft beer and light fare at area, finishing the tour with a hop inspired meal at the Copper Turret in Madison County.

Looking ahead
WHO: Florida State (10-2, 7-1 ACC) vs. Georgia Tech (6-6, 5-3 ACC)
WHAT: ACC championship.
WHEN: 8 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: Charlotte, N.C.
LINE: Seminoles by 14 points.
ATLANTA — Georgia Tech opened practice Monday for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game without leading rusher Orwin Smith, but the senior provided an optimistic outlook for the week.
Smith said he "definitely" plans to practice today and hopes to play in Saturday night's game against No. 13 Florida State.
"It's still to be determined," Smith said when asked about his status. "I think I will play. We'll just see how it goes day by day."
Smith missed last week's 42-10 loss to No. 3 Georgia with a sprained right ankle.
"It's definitely feeling a lot better than last week," he said.
The running back's absence was felt, as the Yellow Jackets were held to a season-low in scoring after averaging 47.7 points in three straight wins.
Quarterback Tevin Washington said he hopes Smith can help the offense bounce back.
"Orwin has made a lot of plays in his career," Washington said Monday. "I feel like not having him, it was a vacant spot there. He's a senior, he's a leader also on the team. We have young guys ready to step up and make plays too. I think we have a host of guys ready to step up and make plays. I just feel like going forward with him there it gives us a better chance at being successful."
Georgia Tech (6-6) is a two-touchdown underdog and will need its spread-option offense to be at full strength against Florida State's tough defense.
In a matchup of strengths, Georgia Tech is No. 3 in the nation in rushing, and Florida State ranks fourth against the run.
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said Sunday he didn't know if Smith would return this week.
"He didn't play Saturday, so I wouldn't have any reason to think there's any change in him," Johnson said before adding "We'll know Monday."
Johnson said it was not his decision to hold Smith out against Georgia.
"I never decided on Orwin," Johnson said after the game. "I thought he was going to try it today. He didn't dress and try it. I guess with the trainers they decided he couldn't go."
Smith tested the ankle in pregame warm-ups and then was not in uniform.
"It actually came down to the game time," Smith said Monday. "I did try to give it a go. I warmed up before the game. It just wasn't up to par to feel like I could contribute in a way I needed to."
Smith's value to the offense has become more apparent through the season. He had no more than seven carries in the balanced rushing offense through the Yellow Jackets' first eight games. He had 10 or more carries in the next three games.
The senior has 75 carries for 673 yards and leads the ACC with his average of 9 yards per carry.
Smith's career average of 9.4 yards per carry is the highest of any active Football Bowl Series player with at least 1,000 yards rushing.
"He leads on offense, along with Tevin," said linebacker Quayshawn Nealy. "He's a big part of our success and we really are looking forward to having him back this week."
Smith ran for 11 touchdowns in 2011, when he had 615 yards rushing and averaged 10.1 yards per carry. He has only five rushing touchdowns this year.
Washington leads the team with 18 rushing touchdowns. His backup, freshman Vad Lee, is second with nine.
Smith said being able to look forward to the ACC championship game was the only consolation when he couldn't play in Georgia Tech's fourth straight loss to Georgia. But he said he wasn't held out last week just to help his chances of playing against Florida State.
"This game didn't really dictate if I was going to play last week, but it was in the back of my mind," Smith said. "If I could have played last week, I definitely would have been out there with those guys.
"Just to have the opportunity to have one more week to keep me going, it did kind of brighten me up a little bit. I still had a shot to get out there and play for something much, much bigger than that rivalry game."

NBA TV Premieres NBA INSIDE STUFF Today
NBA Inside Stuff presented by Samsung Galaxy will premiere today, Nov. 2, on NBA TV at noon ET with a brand-new episode featuring co-hosts Grant Hill and Kristen Ledlow. The 30-minute show - the first of 30 episodes airing throughout the 2013-14 NBA regular season - will feature a special one-on-one interview by Hill with Kevin Garnett, a 15-time NBA All-Star and current member of the Brooklyn Nets.
The debut will also include a piece on Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose and his return from knee surgery and Jason Terry, in his first year with the Nets, reviewing the key player movements from the past offseason.
One-on-One with KG
Hill and Garnett, who both made appearances on NBA Inside Stuff when it aired in the 1990s and early 2000s, will reflect on some of those moments as they commemorate the return of the show. The duo connected at Hill's alma mater Duke University during training camp to discuss the upcoming season for the Nets, first-year coach Jason Kidd, and Garnett's first appearance on the show as a rookie.
Rose's Road Back
The first episode will include a piece on Rose and his journey back from knee surgery which caused him to miss the entire 2012-13 NBA season. The piece will touch on some of the inspiring letters he received from fans during his recovery.
Jason Terry Player Tracking
The Brooklyn Nets' Jason Terry, who joined the team during an offseason trade, will do his own form of player tracking by reviewing some of the key offseason NBA player movement, as well as taking a fun look at the nine first-time coaches in the league.
Linkin Park
NBA Inside Stuff's most celebrated segments, "Jam Session" and "Rewind," have been redefined as the new single by the Grammy-Award winning, multi-platinum alternative rock band Linkin Park - "A Light That Never Comes" - will be featured in the first episode with highlights from the NBA's opening week during "Jam Session." Linkin Park, which has sold more than 50 million albums, collaborated with electro-house musician Steve Aoki on the song, which is featured on their album RECHARGED, containing new interpretations of songs from LIVING THINGS, the band's most recent album that debuted at #1 in over 20 countries.
Known for its trademark off-the-court features with NBA players, NBA Inside Stuff originally aired from 1990-2005, providing fans with a unique perspective of the game. The trailblazing weekly magazine show was hosted by Emmy Award winner Ahmad Rashad and included a variety of co-hosts through the years, including Julie Moran, Willow Bay, and Summer Sanders.
The 30-minute show will be televised each Saturday at noon throughout the season, along with several special editions airing at select times during the year. The return of NBA Inside Stuff presented by Samsung Galaxy will also include brand extensions across the entire NBA Digital portfolio and social media integration across all platforms.
NBA TV is currently counting down to the premiere with 20 classic NBA Inside Stuff episodes, including daily shows between 12-1 p.m. For more, visit the dedicated show page, www.nba.com/insidestuff.

This allows users to request data from the database using forms displayed on a Web browser, and it enables the Web server to return dynamic Web pages based on the user's requests and profile.
The term middleware is used to describe separate products that serve as the glue between two applications. It is, therefore, distinct from import and export features that may be built into one of the applications. Middleware is sometimes called plumbingbecause it connects two sides of an application and passes data between them. Common middleware categories include:

I gave a talk on "Understanding and valuing our plants" at the recent open day of Otari-Wilton's Bush in Wellington. I'm very interested in why New Zealand's native species might be valued.

Inadvertently preserving alien invaders
With its long history of isolation from other land masses, New Zealand has been suggested to be an 'ark' for unusual species, such as tuatara and moa. But New Zealand has now been found to be a genetic ark for an introduced species – the stoat. A recent study reported that stoats in New Zealand… Read more »
Re-planting New Zealand
In regard to Bob Brockie's recent article in the Dominion Post (24 June 2013, page A8), here is some rationale for viewpoints about plants that some commentators have teasingly called "eco-fascism". Instead, they are logical expressions about the conservation of New Zealand's biota and ecosystems, including their genetic integrity. For any effort claiming to be… Read more »

Not long ago, it would have taken several years to run a high-resolution simulation on a global climate model. But using some of the most powerful supercomputers now available, Berkeley Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner was able to complete a run in just three months. What he found was that not only were the simulations much closer to actual observations, but the high-resolution models were far better at reproducing intense storms, such as hurricanes and cyclones.

Nobel Laureate Karplus is Longtime NERSC User
On Wednesday, Oct. 9, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists for pioneering methods in computational chemistry that have brought a deeper understanding of complex chemical structure and reactions in biochemical systems. These methods can precisely calculate how very complex molecules work and even predict the outcomes of very complex chemical reactions. One of the laureates — Martin Karplus of Harvard University — has been using supercomputers at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Berkeley Lab since 1998.

Building the Massive Simulation Sets Essential to Planck Results
The Planck collaboration has released its first cosmological results, based on trillions of measurements of the cosmic microwave background. The results owe much to Berkeley Lab's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), including tens of millions of hours of massively parallel processing, plus the expertise of physicists and computational scientists in the Computational Cosmology Center (C3) who generated a quarter of a million simulated maps of the Planck sky, essential to the analysis.

What is early childhood education? It is usually taken to be the education of children from birth to age 8. Early childhood degrees prepare you for jobs in teaching and administration related to this age group. To do this, the early childhood education curriculum track includes courses in child psychology, parenting, and early childhood instruction and learning strategies.
This page provides information on what is studied and where you can study these programs, as well as details on jobs, potential earnings, prospects and more… You may also wish to explore the elementary education programs.
What do the degrees cover?
There are various ways and levels in which you can approach qualifying in the early childhood area, including an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education, a B.S. in Early Childhood or an MS in Early Childhood Education. To be able to teach children effectively in a formal education setting, you need to take a program which includes online early childhood education courses in curriculum development, classroom management, assessment, pedagogy and classroom methodology, administrative techniques, child psychology, and educational psychology.
What are the career prospects?
Education is one of the largest industries and early childhood degrees offer plenty of career options. Most US States now require lead teachers in state-funded pre-kindergarten programs to have early childhood training. Typically, the early childhood education online courses prepare you for work with preschool through fifth grade (K-5).
An Associate of Arts in Early Childhood Education helps toward qualifying for early childhood education work in daycare and preschools.
Graduates with a Bachelors degree in early childhood education find careers as teachers or administrators in elementary and pre-school learning environments.
A Master of Education (MEd) in Early Childhood Education is often necessary for a position as an early childhood education administrator, curriculum developer, or education program director. For teaching childhood education in a college or university, a masters degree early childhood education or PhD is required.
The United States Department of Labor reports an approximate annual income of about $50,000 for early childhood and elementary teachers. Prospects are good in the sector as the government has placed an emphasis on it. This is a good time to take an early childhood education degree online.

YMMV: Unstoppable
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Is Will violent and abusive, or did he just get the short end of the stick and the Idiot Ball at the same time? Does he have anger management issues, or is he stressed by his upcoming hearing and the worst possible first day on the job? Is he sulking about the restraining order getting in the way of seeing his kid, or is he honestly angry at himself for what he did? Some combination of all these?
- Awesome Music: The music that plays as 777 goes through the Stanton curve, where it's most likely to derail.
- Hell Is That Noise: Every time the camera focuses on train 777, it roars. Makes sense since the director wanted 777 to sound like a beast. Therefore, he combines real locomotive sounds with real animal roars to give 777 it's beastly roar.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: One news report of the CSX 8888 incident that inspired the movie had this dialogue, "It was like something you'd see in a Hollywood action movie, only this was no movie."
- Like You Would Really Do It: Come on, like they would really kill a train full of innocent elementary schoolers on a field trip.
