Just curious, when mixing water with formula, do you always boil the water? I only ask because I just bought concentrated formula (After using the ready to use formula for the past week, flew through those so fast...) and I'm just curious to see which moms do and do not boil the water, or if some just mix with warm water straight from the tap?
Again, this is all out of curiousity, of course I'll follow the directions and boil the water. =] Thanks for any input, ladies!

Harnessing the beauty of her native Netherlands, Ingeborg Klarenberg's landscapes capture the icy majesty of the country's cold mountains, lush expanses of grass and still bodies of water.
"It may seem all flat and crowded here," Ingeborg tells us of photographing in Utrecht, the Dutch city she calls home, "but there are lovely landscapes such as the dunes and beaches, the West Frisian Islands, some beautiful hilly areas in the south and the middle of the Netherlands. In summer I always try to travel to places where I haven't been. My favorite place is anywhere in Scandinavia. The light is so very beautiful there. The Norwegian fjords, the Swedish lakes and the Finnish woods."
The 23 year-old has been taking pictures for 15 years, since she got her first camera.
"First I only made photos on holidays in France, Sweden and Scotland, and while my parents took their digital cameras with them, I used an old film camera. I discovered that I was not the only one who appreciates this and that motivated me to carry on with what I was doing. A year ago I bought a Zenit B, an old Russian camera, which I try to bring along everywhere I go."
While human and animal figures appear occasionally in her images, most of the life and personality emerges in her perspective on the world around here. Like many landscape photographers, she appreciates these spaces for their lack of pretense and assumption.
"People—in my opinion—very often pretend being anything. This is what holds me from photographing them. I want people as they are; sad, happy or embarrassed. But the world doesn't work like that. People don't want to be vulnerable.
Shooting places instead of people is perhaps in the first place because I want to capture the things/the world as they are/it is. Right now I am experimenting with abstraction in nature. I can't really explain this, but it can be just a clump of grass that has a slightly different colour than the surroundig grass."

In a rematch of last year's Section 5 Class B championship game, the Irondequoit boys lacrosse team held off Canandaigua for an 11-8 win on Thursday.
The Eagles held the Braves scoreless for the first 18 minutes of the second half after the teams were tied at halftime. Junior Joshua Merkel led Irondequoit with four goals, and senior Joel Roemer chipped in three goals.
In a rematch of last year's Section 5 Class B championship game, the Irondequoit boys lacrosse team held off Canandaigua for an 11-8 win on Thursday.
The Eagles held the Braves scoreless for the first 18 minutes of the second half after the teams were tied at halftime. Junior Joshua Merkel led Irondequoit with four goals, and senior Joel Roemer chipped in three goals.
"There were a fair amount of 50-50 balls we didn't seem to get," Canandaigua coach Ed Mulheron said. "We played our tails off, our kids gave everything they got. I'm so proud of their efforts, and we're real disappointed. It was just one of those nights where we couldn't seem to get the ball."
Senior Brian Feldman led the Braves with three goals, while Dan LaCrosse and Eric Munn added a goal and an assist apiece.
Canandaigua finished the regular season with a 10-6 overall record and 3-1 league record, and Irondequoit finished at 9-7, 3-1. The two teams share the Monroe County Division 2 league title with Victor, who also went 3-1.
Braves goalie Michael Cuciti scored the game's first goal after going the length of the field 4:33 into the game. The Eagles tied it up when Roemer drove to the net and scored with a high shot about a minute later. Merkel put Irondequoit in front with a big shot, and teammate Andy Schwin scored off a pass from Raymond Shalvoy. Merkel scored his second of the game by going in front of the Canandaigua net, absorbing a hit and still getting the shot past the goalie.
"He's really been playing well lately," Irondequoit coach Craig Whipple said. "We're really looking at a guy like him to absolutely come and step it up, and he did tonight. He's playing great and we're really utilizing him at this point, so we're excited about his progress."
Munn answered for the Braves after making a nice move in front, but the Eagles scored two goals in the final seconds of the quarter. Daniel Doktor scored with 7.9 seconds left, and Ben Brooks scored on a long shot just before the buzzer sounded to put his team up 6-2.
Canandaigua started its comeback 5:20 into the second quarter when Feldman scored his first goal. He scored two minutes later with a big shot from the point after taking a pass from Ben Northrup. LaCrosse brought the Braves within one with a highlight-reel goal. The senior beat a pair of Eagles defenders who both were called for delayed penalties. LaCrosse still battled his way to the net and scored, and earned the Braves a man-up opportunity by taking a late hit from the goalie.
"He loves to be an attackman, and he plays midfield for us because we feel we need his athletic ability at the midfield," Mulheron said. "That's a play that shows what he can do. I'm just so happy to be his coach. I'm proud of him, it was an outstanding play."
Page 2 of 2 - Canandaigua tied the game at six when Munn set Connor Hulme up for an easy goal in front late in the half.
Merkel scored the first goal of the second half with 6:33 to go in the third quarter. He scored a few minutes later on a bounce shot to give Irondequoit an 8-6 lead going into the final period. The Eagles made it three unanswered goals when Zach Brimmacomb set up Schwin for a goal 11 seconds into the fourth.
"I think they settled down a little bit," Whipple said. "We stopped giving up man-up opportunities, there were a lot of flags tonight. We kind of we created some stuff for them and when we settled down, we played good defense."
The Braves pulled within two when LaCrosse found Feldman for a goal, but Roemer answered for the Eagles. Canandaigua's Connor Moore went in front and scored despite taking a hit with 2:43 left, and Irondequoit added an empty-net goal with less than a minute to play to seal the win.
Cuciti and Irondequoit goalie Alex Shoemaker both played well for their teams. Cuciti made 10 saves; statistics weren't available for Shoemaker.
Canandaigua will have the No. 1 seed in the Class B tournament this year. The Braves were the No. 6 seed last year when they lost to the top-seeded Eagles in the finals, 11-9. Mulheron knows it's a possibility that the teams could meet again — and he believes it'll be another close game if they do.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada's taxable sales jumped 9.6 percent in
November compared with a year ago, partly through jumps in
restaurant, vehicle and clothing spending.
Nevada Department of Taxation data released Monday tally $3.4
billion in sales the month before Christmas. That includes an 8.6
percent jump in Clark County sales and a 5.3 percent increase in
Washoe County sales.
Clothing stores saw a 14.8 percent increase in sales, while
furniture sales jumped 15 percent and wholesale durable goods were
up 19.6 percent. Construction industry sales were down 15.9
Fourteen of Nevada's 17 counties saw sales go up in November,
while Carson City, Humboldt and White Pine counties saw sales drop.
General fund tax revenue is up about $8.9 million, or 2.7
percent more than predicted at the May 2011 Economic Forum.

|Clinical predictors and natural history of atrial fibrillation in patients with DDD pacemakers.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1704549 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Effective DDD pacing requires that patients remain free of atrial fibrillation (AF). Four hundred eighty-nine consecutive patients undergoing initial transvenous DDD implants were reviewed to determine the incidence of postimplant AF in this population and to assess what factors, known at implant, predicted the later development of AF. The variables analyzed included age, sex, indication for implant (dominant SA or AV node disease), history of AF, atrial electrogram characteristics and pacing threshold, and the status of retrograde conduction. Forty-eight patients (9.8%) developed AF a mean of 23 months postimplant, and 11 of these patients returned to sinus rhythm and were managed once again in DDD for significant periods. A prior history of AF and the presence of dominant sinoatrial disease were far more prevalent in the patients who developed AF (P less than 0.001) though the vast majority of patients with these two independent risk factors remained in sinus rhythm through much or all of their follow-up period. We conclude that the incidence of AF is not of a magnitude to preclude DDD pacing in the vast majority of patients in sinus rhythm at implant.

Minivans were novel when Chrysler introduced them to the U.S. market in late 1983. Some might go as far as calling them cool. After all, they had so much interior space within a relatively small footprint, and their clean, angular styling seemed modern and elegant.
So what happened? Other manufacturers, caught flat-footed by Chrysler's masterstroke, did their best to be cooler and more eye-catching in the next several years. Some far-out designs resulted. One such example is the Pontiac Trans Sport, a long, low, pointy-nosed interpretation that eventually failed to stem the Chrysler tide.
But wow — do they look great now or what?
Mazda Motor Co. isn't the kind of car maker intent on pleasing everyone.
As one of the perks of being one of Japan's smaller car makers, Mazda enjoys the freedom of putting a little personality into the design of its cars. Some have earned cult followings (read: the MX-5 Miata) while others have been panned. But Mazda isn't about satisfying everyone anyway, according to Seita Kanai, the executive vice president at Mazda in charge of brand development.
"Frankly, some consumers say, 'I don't like this grille.' But with the Mazda brand it doesn't necessarily have to be the case that 10 out of 10 people all like the design.
Auto shows depend on stylish, wild concept cars to generate excitement and possibly hint at what might roll into dealerships in the next few years. In recent years many of these "showc ars" have been more like production-ready prototypes, with companies prepared to turn them out if the public reaction is sufficiently positive.
You can watch a video from the Detroit auto show after the jump.
It is true that cars' front ends resemble faces and that designers sculpt and tweak headlights as if they were eyes and often try to give radiator grilles the look of snarling mouths. One of the latest crazes in the car business — LEDs framing the headlights — can look like too much mascara.
But how much do cars really look like people?
Linkage Design, which provides digital design services, released a video suggesting a number of celebrities have facial features that remind us of design cues found on cars.
We already know Ford Motor Co. is betting heavily on its new Fusion midsize sedan, which it designed to appeal to buyers' eyes and emotions as well as their pocketbooks.
Now the company is talking a little trash in a new print-ad campaign about the bland styling of some competitors. There's no need to say "allegedly bland" because timid, unimaginative and committee-driven aesthetics have been at the core of midsize-sedan design for decades.
After the jump, you can watch a video about how the ads were made.
While driving west of Belfast, Maine, last weekend we spotted a rarity: a Ford Maverick from around 1975.
The butterscotch-colored car has an uncluttered elegance and, one could argue, a family resemblance to the 2013 Fusion. We compared the Maverick's design details with those of our Fusion test car.
Researchers at the MIT AgeLab and typeface design company Monotype Imaging say in a paper published today that the typeface auto makers use to display information on navigation screens in cars can make a difference in how long drivers have to take their eyes off the road.
AgeLab researchers conducted two studies, using driving simlators to measure how 82 people, ranging in age from 36 to 75 years old, responded to different styles of type used in simulated dashboard screens. The studies were the same, except in one the brightness of the screen was changed along with the typefaces.
Critics have said it for years: So many new cars look alike these days.
One of the latest cases of apparent carbon-copy design comes from Honda. An article in the trade magazine Automotive News noted the roofline, window frames, body creases, door handles and other design elements of the 2013 Honda Accord sedan are strikingly similar to those of the BMW 3 Series sedan.
But do the two cars really look the same?
Sergio Pininfarina, longtime leader of the famous Pininfarina design firm that developed cars for Fiat, Ferrari and many other makers, died at 85 after a long illness.
During his 40 years at the helm the Italian company turned out some of its most successful production cars, including the Alfa Romeo Spider and Fiat 124 Spider, and numerous significant concept vehicles. Other well-known models developed during his tenure include the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT, and the 2003 Maserati Quattroporte sedan.
Run-flat tires seem simple and straight-forward. Their design, which includes strengthened sidewalls, allows them to keep rolling even after losing air pressure. They are meant to allow drivers to reach their destination without stopping to change to a spare tire.
If it sounds too simple to be true, that's because it is. In the real world run-flats can be a big pain, sometimes stranding drivers when a spare tire would have been an easy, effective solution.
At a family gathering yesterday we noticed the right-front tire on my father-in-law's car, a 2011 BMW 5-Series, had a fist-sized blister or "bubble" in the sidewall.

"The Ultimate Fighter 11" veteran Seth Baczynski (13-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) has stepped in for an injured DaMarques Johnson (12-9 MMA, 3-3 UFC) to fight Clay Harvison (9-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou."
The UFC today announced Johnson was injured, and sources close to the event confirmed to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Baczynski is the replacement following an initial report from MMAWeekly.com.
"UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou" takes place Sept. 17 at New Orleans' Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The event's main card airs live on Spike TV.
Baczynski returns to the octagon on the strength of a two-fight win streak in regional competition. He was last seen inside the octagon at The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale, where he took on Brad Tavares and lost a unanimous decision. His run on "TUF 11" ended with Tavares, as well, when he unintentionally soccer kicked the fighter in the first round of their quarterfinal fight. The result sparked a near-riot on the reality show set.
A training partner to UFC vets Ryan Bader, C.B. Dollaway and Aaron Simpson, Baczynski is looking to make good in his second UFC stint.
Harivson, a quarterfinalist on "The Ultimate Fighter 13," secured a UFC contract with a close and entertaining split-decision victory over Justin Edwards at the show's June finale. It marked the Georgia-based fighter's seventh win in eight fights and his first-ever win via decision following three knockout and five submission wins.
For more on UFC Fight Night 25, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Adrenaline junkies have a range of life-threatening sports to choose from, and Formula One racing surely is near the top of the list.
The story of real-life rival race-car drivers, Rush (* * * * out of four; rated R; opens Friday in select cities) brilliantly captures the exhilaration that comes from facing death head-on. It's also an ode to joyous rivalry.
Though based on a true story, this is no by-the-book biopic. Nor is it a clichéd sports movie about the triumph of the human spirit. Rush is a thrilling action film and a moving tale of an adversarial friendship, a kind of anti-bromance that is as ...

Women's Binding Sizes
I have been looking around for binding for my wife. She wears a 8.5US in men's boot right now because the women's boots never fit her foot right. I was wondering what size binding that I would have to get for her. Should i be looking for Medium or large bindings to fit her boot?
I think it depends on the bindings but if you look online they usually have a sizing chart that says. The only problem is if she is getting a women's bindings it will say in women's sizes so you'll just have to figure out the difference. (I think its something like two sizes, a guys 9 is a girls 11 etc. but I'd look that up to be certain)
Why not get men's S/M bindings?

Is Steve McClaren ready for a "John the Baptist" moment? The crowds are calling for his head… especially if Hiddink's Russia beat Israel.
In my mind, McClaren has gotten in over his head (no pun intended) but I blame the incompetent bureacracy of the FA.
So who will replace the unlucky man?
Here are our "out of the box" suggestions:
- "Big Phil" Scolari
- Jurgen Klinsmann
- Fabio Capello
- Jose Mourinho
- Guus Hiddink
- Arsene Wenger
I'll admit I'm going overboard; but the FA is going to appoint another ham-and-egger unless we make some noise.
Any suggestions?

More than a dozen students were injured on their way to school Friday morning after a deer ran into the side of their school bus.
The Boyd County bus was full when the deer slammed into the side of it, on Route 60, at the I-64 interchange near Carter County.
The accident happened around 7 Friday morning.
The impact shattered windows and sent glass flying onto the dozens of students inside. In all, 14 students were taken to hospitals for injuries they received from the flying glass.
Their injuries were said to be minor, mostly cuts and scrapes from the broken glass There were 18 others on the bus who were not injured.
All students were treated and released.
The students were on their way to three different schools, Boyd County High, Boyd Middle and Ponderosa Elementary schools.
The driver of the bus was an experienced driver for the school district and also a mechanic.
The children and the driver say they saw the deer running beside the bus before it jumped up into the window.

Last night we bid adieu to Henk-Jan Hoving, Bret Grasse, and Lisa Uttal, and welcomed Paul Clarkson and Chris Payne, both from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We brought the Western Flyer in towards Moss Landing and launched our rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) to transfer the crew to and from shore.
Following the transfer, we moved offshore to our 3,000-meters (9,840-feet) site where another Midwater Respirometry System (MRS) mooring was deployed last year. The goal for today's dive was to launch the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) with the MRS tray and dive down to the mooring. Since this was the first time that we visited the mooring since it was deployed, we flew the ROV to the mooring and took some images of the upper floats and the lower anchor setup. We then filled up the MRS tray and left it on the mooring at 2,700 meters (8,850 feet) for a 24-hour experiment. We were hoping for a 48-hour duration, but winds are predicted to come up by Saturday, so we will come back and pick it up on Friday. We finished the dive by collecting a variety of organisms on the way back up to the surface.
Two different experiments that have been mentioned in previous posts deserve some more explanation:
The Midwater Respirometry System (MRS) enables us to measure the oxygen consumption rates of midwater animals in order to determine the physiological effects of declining oxygen concentrations in their environment. Oxygen uptake data from the MRS and from laboratory respirometers indicate the oxygen concentrations at which each species shifts from regulation to compensation. In other words, they tell us the critical point at which further decreases in environmental oxygen may cause a species to relocate in order to find enough oxygen for survival. When we couple the critical oxygen concentration levels for each species with the oxygen profiles we measure on each ROV dive, we see correlations that explain the changing vertical distribution patterns of midwater species.
The automated camera system is deployed from the research vessel and suspended from the surface at a predetermined depth. Henk-Jan has been experimenting with different lighting setups and different types of lures, baits, and attractants. During this cruise, the camera system was deployed with red LED lights, a blue lure, and a bait package on Monday night, and just the lights and the lure on Tuesday night. The results from these deployments are still being analyzed, but we do have an image from an earlier deployment showing Nanomia—a common siphonophore found in the Pacific Ocean.

A great start
The R/V Western Flyer is a small water-plane area twin hull (SWATH) oceanographic research vessel measuring 35.6 meters long and 16.2 meters wide. It was designed and constructed for MBARI to serve as the support vessel for ROV operations. Her missions include the Monterey Bay as well as extended cruises to Hawaii, the Gulf of California, and the Pacific Northwest.
ROV Doc Ricketts
ROV Doc Ricketts is MBARI's next generation ROV. The system breaks new ground in providing an integrated unmanned submersible research platform, with many powerful features providing efficient, reliable, and precise sampling and data collection in a wide range of missions.
Midwater respirometry system (MRS)
The MRS conducts oxygen consumption rate measurements in situ gauging the metabolism of animals without subjecting them to the stresses of transport to the surface. The MRS has been modified to operate in deeper water with an expanded capacity, enabling respiration studies on animals that live deeper than 1,250 meters.
Detritus sampler
Detritus samplers are large plexiglass containers with lids that can be controlled by the pilot of the ROV and gently closed once an organism is trapped inside.
The CTDO is mounted on the ROV and takes in situ measurements of environmental parameters such as conductivity, temperature, depth, and oxygen concentration.
High-frequency suction sampler
This sampler acts like a vacuum cleaner sucking up samples and depositing them into one of the 12 buckets.
Bruce Robison
Senior Scientist, MBARI
Bruce Robison's research is focused on the biology and ecology of deep-sea animals, particularly those that inhabit the oceanic water column. He pioneered the use of undersea vehicles for these studies, leading the first team of scientists trained as research submersible pilots. At MBARI, his research group has focused on the development of remotely operated vehicles as platforms for deep-sea science.
Kim Reisenbichler
Senior Research Technician, MBARI
Kim's general area of interest is the study of midwater and deep-sea animals. He has developed many tools and techniques to observe, manipulate, and collect these organisms, and to maintain the animals in the lab.

He has worked in the Robison lab and been involved with the Midwater Time Series since he came to MBARI in 1996, identifying and quantifying mesopelagic animals and the changes in that community over time and depth and relative to other physical factors.
George Matsumoto
Education Research Specialist, MBARI
George works in the fields of research and education. As an education specialist, George is involved in several different projects including coordinating MBARI's summer internship program and seminar series and fostering links between MBARI and other partners. As a researcher, George is interested in the ecology of a wide variety of open-ocean and deep-sea gelatinous organisms, as well as the functional morphology, natural history, and behavior of pelagic and benthic organisms.
Kris Walz
Research Assistant, MBARI
Kris works with the midwater ecology group, analyzing ROV video transects between 50 and 1,000 meters in depth to identify biological organisms from all taxonomic levels, most of which spend their entire lives in the oceanic water column. Kris started working at MBARI in 1996 after finishing her master's degree at University of California, Santa Cruz. She's looking forward to returning to sea this month to collect video transects and search for deep-sea lobster larvae from the family Polychelidae.
Henk-Jan Hoving
Postdoctoral Fellow, MBARI
Henk-Jan is a postdoc in the midwater ecology group of Bruce Robison, investigating the life history strategies of pelagic cephalopods. Cephalopods have one reproductive cycle after which they die. Henk-Jan is interested in how long deep-sea cephalopods live, and how different species shape their reproductive strategies to optimize their single reproductive event.

Pac-12 commentary: Pushing a player is out of bounds
Mike Montgomery was completely wrong.
There is never an excuse to push, slap, hit, grab or touch a player. You just can't do it. Under any circumstance.
For those who missed it, the Cal coach was incensed with the effort of his star player, Allen Crabbe, on Sunday night against USC. During a timeout, Montgomery went over the edge, giving the Pac-12's best shooting guard a two-hand shove, asking him, demonstratively, whether or not he really wanted to play.
As of now, negative public opinion has been the only real consequence for Montgomery. He apologized in a statement. He was reprimanded by Cal athletic director Sandy Barbour and the Pac-12. It appears, though, that Montgomery will escape any real sanction. No fines, no suspensions appear to be on the horizon.
Here's the thing: Tiffs between coaches and players happen all the time. The coaches know it, the players know it. Outside of the physical which is where Montgomery crossed the line his argument with Crabbe should not have sparked mass alarms.
Crabbe, when motivated, may be the very best perimeter player in the league. The problem on this night was his motivation. It wasn't all there. He scored nine points in the first half against the Trojans, and his defense was lax, which fired Montgomery up in the first place.
The Bears appear to be squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble, as of today.
Cal is 16-9 overall and started slowly in conference play. The Bears are one of the handful of teams around the country that can't afford any slip-ups. Losing to USC would've been a disaster, a proverbial "bad loss" that could have quashed their tournament chances.
Montgomery knew all of this. He was boiling inside and the boil spilled over in an ugly fashion when Crabbe walked over to the huddle during that timeout.
Yet, it worked.
Crabbe scored 14 of his game-high 23 points in the final 15 minutes of the game. The 6-foot-6 NBA prospect went from chill mode to beast mode after being escorted into the tunnel by teammates. The Bears struggling with USC for most of the game rebounded for a huge win, as is any win for Cal at this stage of the season.
But now, Montgomery is walking a fine line. Another incident like this will surely cost him games. He wasn't exactly contrite in the postgame press conference, which raised red flags as well. His reputation sterling for so long through his coaching career has taken a hit.
Years ago Latrell Sprewell put his hands on the neck of his coach, P.J. Carlesimo. He lost the rest of his season and millions of dollars. Does Montgomery's action merit that much attention? No. But touching a player or a coach is certainly a line that should never be crossed.
Even if crossing that line produced the desired affect.

Party City
Regarding Tara Murtha's recent story about the a new bill governing party promoters:
I regularly host Argentine tango dance and music events both in the city and the suburbs and I can assure you that if this bill passes there would be no more Tango dancing in the city. Last year, I worked with other promoters to bring Argentine electronic musicians Otros Aires to Philadelphia for a concert. If this bill had been in place, that event would not have happened.
This bill stands to kill numerous cultural activities in this city. Things that fall below the radar, sure, but the exact things that make this city a wonderful place to live, work and play.
After decades of a declining population, the last thing this city needs to do is destroy one of the last and best reasons for anyone to live here.
SAM WILSON via philadelphiaweekly.com
The cultural economy of Philadelphia would be absolutely crippled. Unbelievable ignorance of the live-arts community crafted this bill.
PETE via philadelphiaweekly.com
Thank you for writing about this ridiculous law, and especially for speaking to some of the independent artists, venue owners and promoters in Philadelphia. They are truly correct that the city does not have the bureaucratic capacity to support the policing of individual events in Philly's huge live arts scene.
Having worked in the entertainment business in many capacities for over 15 years in Philadelphia, I too can attest that the institution of this law is unnecessary, overzealous and completely impractical. It will only hurt a struggling arts community, that are not doing anything illegal. Artists are not criminals, and parties are not a crime. They are big business, and the city will be taking money out of its own pocket through this bill. Don't let it pass!

Higher Learning
Regarding Peak Johnson's story about alternative schools for troubled kids:
Wonderful article! It's good to know the school district is working with programs like this to give special attention to kids who really need it! I wonder, though, if the program should be expanded—sounds like an environment that would benefit all the kids in the public school system, not just the ones with behavioral/learning issues!

Royal Disaster
Regarding Matt Prigge's film review of Princess Ka'iulani :
Wow, your review sounds rather jaded and narrow minded. To begrudge a talent like Q'orianka Kilcher's simply because the film might be mediocre seems misguided to me, but maybe their weren't enough flying blue monkey aliens to please you.

AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn men's basketball coach Tony Barbee has landed three players in the early signing period, including two Birmingham high school teammates.
Barbee said Tuesday that guard Cedrick McAfee, center Willy Kouassi and forward Bernard Morena have signed to play for the Tigers next season.
McAfee is rated the 74th-best prospect and No. 19 guard by Rivals.com. He transferred to Melrose High School in Memphis, Tenn., last season and now plays for the national powerhouse. McAfee averaged 24 points per game at Craigmont High last year before transferring.
"I am excited about our first fulltime signing class for this fall," Barbee said. "I think we addressed some needs that we have as a program and are continuing to build the depth as a part of this team, especially in the guard position with Cedrick McAfee. He is going to add a lot in terms of his versatility and his ability to play multiple positions because of his athleticism at 6-3 and his skill to be able to score the ball and also run a team."
A native of the Ivory Coast, Kouassi is ranked 87th nationally by Rivals.com and the 11th-best center. The 6-foot-10, 215-pounder averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds for Birmingham Central Park Christian last season.
Morena is also from the Ivory Coast and is a prep teammate of Kouassi. He averaged 10 points last season.
"Willy and Bernard are going to be fantastic players for us," Barbee said. "They are fantastic kids and fantastic students, but they both bring a different dimension. Willy brings us a bigger presence along the frontline who can rebound and really block shots. He is very athletic for his size at 6-10 and has a high motor and high energy level. He has to get better on the offensive end of the floor, but he can score down there given the opportunity."

While reading Unspun, I noticed chapter two mentioned a specific warning sign of trickery used in advertising: "If it's scary be wary". This advertising technique reminded me of Hillary Clinton's 3 AM Campaign Advertisement, which suggested that, in the instance of a national emergency, Barack Obama would be incapable of action, essentially threatening the safety of American families.
Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton gave a speech before the Council on Foreign Relations (The entirety of the address can be found at the link below) that seems to reaffirm George Orwell's belief that "it is broadly true that political writing is bad writing," as stated in his work Politics and the English Language. It is not that Clinton's speech is bad writing in the sense that grammatical errors run rampant throughout its text, it is the fact that the wording and meaning of her statements are often confusing, irrelevant, or obscure. By the middle of the Address it is even easy for the audience to forget that her speech is even about foreign relations as it heads of on a humanitarian tangent. All together, Clinton's address is yet another example of bad political writing.
With the Holiday's coming and the Christmastime spirit the election of future President Barack Obama may have faded to the back of some Americsan's minds. However with the inauguration coming up in a little over a month we would do well not to forget.

Dave Matthews Fans Helps Stranded Singer Before His Concert
What would you say … if you found Dave Matthews stranded on the side of the road on your way to his concert?
That was the case for two fans in Hershey Park, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
Mashup Monday: Fifth Harmony Mixes New Single With Katy Perry
Emily Kraus and her boyfriend were running late to the venue when they noticed a man resembling the singer on the side of the road with a broken bicycle, according to CNN. (Click here to see the photo of Dave and Emily in her car!)
"I did not have a cell phone on the bicycle," Dave told fans from the stage that night. "So I thought, 'Sh-t.' And then a nice lady named Emily rode up in a red car with a bicycle rack on it and gave me a ride on to the gig."
Adam Lambert Leaves RCA Records Over Covers Album Disagreement
And the superstar repaid the favor in a major way. Not only did he invite the couple for dinner, but he also had them backstage and gave them front-row seats to his show. He even signed their tickets, "Thanks for the ride."
"My cheeks still hurt from smiling, giggling and laughing all night long … this will always be remembered," she wrote on Facebook.

NEW YORK -- Former Timberwolves backup point guard Will Conroy was at the team's practice Saturday, Dec. 22, but Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn said Conroy is not under consideration as a candidate to rejoin the team.
Kahn said Conroy, a close friend of guard Brandon Roy, has been hired to do "some special projects" for Kahn until he returns to Seattle, his hometown, in April to finish his degree at the University of Washington.
"He's going to be doing some scouting for us in the D League (NBA Development League) ... and some other odds and ends while he's here," Kahn said of Conroy.
Conroy, released Nov. 15 to make room for Josh Howard, returned to the Twin Cities last week to help Roy with his individual workouts. Roy had arthroscopic surgery Nov. 19 to relieve discomfort in his right knee.
Kahn's surgery
Kahn said he will not be traveling to New York for the Wolves' game Sunday against the Knicks because of a recent surgery.
Kahn declined to be specific, but he indicated the surgery prevents him from flying until he's cleared by doctors.

ZERO Dr. Better
Virgil's Sodas
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 6/23/2011 4:48 PM
Compared with the sugar sweetened version of Dr. Better that's also available, Zero Dr. Better is simply not as good. Using stevia as its sweetener, there's a heavy note of that stevia flavor in the mix that lingers on for a while. It also overpowers a good deal of the drink's flavor, which makes this product not so enjoyable to consume (it's definitely not as good as Diet Dr Pepper – although it is all-natural). Unlike the regular Dr. Better, this variety has caffeine, which should add some appeal to certain consumers. Packaging is a 12 oz. longneck glass bottle, which, aside from having different text to denote that it's zero calorie, has a completely different format than its counterpart (maybe they are in the middle of a label change?). While it is definitely cleaner and more visually appealing, we're still not convinced that it should have the standard Virgil's graphics on its label. Overall, this product doesn't really do it for us.

Been having problems with your broadband router rebooting unexpectedly? Windows XP SP3 has been named as the culprit.
Broadband modem/router maker Billion says XP SP3 has been causing its BiPAC 5200-series routers to go into a constant crash and reboot cycle.
The company has produced firmware upgrades that solve the problem.
Although Windows XP SP3 has been available for manual download from Microsoft since May 6, it has just hit Windows Update as an automatic upgrade, which will cause unexpected problems for owners of "unpatched" Billion BiPAC 5200 routers, and possibly other brands or models of router.
The affected BiPAC 5200 firmware versions are 2.9.8.x and 2.11.0.x~2.11.33.x.

The diverse ideologies of Punk shook the world when bands like The Ramones and The Sex Pistols instigated a huge cultural phenomenon, one that is still defiantly strong today and, in some ways, more relevant than ever.
Punk's not dead! A new wave of
New Wave?
There are two reigning factors that could indicate the return on the Punk ideologies; 1) Today's charts are overrun with club ready tracks mashed out of of pop, hip-hop, electrohouse and dubstep and, naturally, there are those rejecting the commercial sound and tampering with genres that defy current culture. 2) Punk, essentially, was a movement that clawed its way out of the oppressive, politically corrupt and financially dismal times that the 70s were shrouded in… a situation that, Europe in particular, is facing again today. Is the sound of Punk about to come screaming back? or is it the ideology that formed the core of this movement that we're going to be seeing more?
The term Punk was first used in music by American critics in the early 1970s, to describe the sound coming from garage bands and their devotees that were typically short songs with simple instrumentation and based on themes of anti-establishment and the rejection of the mainstream. Particularly in the U.K., it wasn't only felt in music, with fashion, art, TV and even food all embracing the ideologies that Punk represented. Front-runners of the movement were soon established and bands on both sides of the Atlantic were recognized as the faces of this new culture; The Ramones and Patti Smith from New York and The Sex Pistols and The Clash in London. These bands channeled their anger and frustration into their lyrics, punching the gloom that they were living in with a new kind of anti-establishment rock, following on from the beginnings of the punk movement that are rooted in local scenes, where garage bands were tackling politics head on and taking no prisoners.
As punk's influence on youth grew stonger, subcultures emerged, expressing the rebellion against 'the system' and becoming increasingly characterized by distinctive styles of clothing and decoration. The clothing was embraced and celebrated by the iconic designers Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier, both of whom still draw upon punk ethics in their designs today. Typically, it was deliberately offensive t-shirts with tears in them, heavy military style boots, leather jackets, safety pins, tight jeans, leopard patterns and use of bondage material that Punks identified themselves with.
It wasn't just music and fashion that tapped into the counter-cultural movement; art, dance, theatre, literature and television also joined the band wagon. The scene was documented throughout the 70s by New York City based publication PUNK that published 17 issues between 1976 and 1979. It also offered an outlet for female writers, artists and photographers that had been cast aside by the male dominated underground scene. Punk Magazine is back on the shelves this year, celebrating the best of the fanzine and the impact that it had 'back in the day'. The book has proved a hit on the charts, with those investing in it for its nostalgic value and younger generations who are attracted to the message that punk carries.
As the sound developed, subcultures of punk emerged, mainly in the U.K., U.S.A. and in Australia. The initial wave of punk aimed to distance itself from the endless guitar solos and sentimental rock that had become stagnant in the early 70s, opting for a 'no bullshit' approach to rock 'n' roll and stripping away what was considered nonsense and replacing it with the rebellious wild youthfulness that the rock 'n' roll of the late 60s was originally charged with.
Of course, as the popularity of punk and its ideologies became more mainstream, various cultures linked to punk started cropping up, involving those that wanted to keep the roots of Punk alive and those that wanted to experiment with the sound. There was Hardcore and Oi!, the prior being more popular in the States, and later the more experimental post-punk and new wave, which fed into bands like Blondie, Ultravox, David Bowie etc with the likes of New Order, The Cure and U2 crossing over into the mainstream.
As the initial power of punk started to wane the sound started to slip off the chart. America saw a revival of punk during early 90s by the likes of Bad Religion, Offspring and Green Day, the latter influencing today's pop punk found in the charts. Pop punk became commercially available with the likes of Offspring, Blink-182, Sum-41, Good Charlotte and Alien Ant Farm all having international successful, winning over fans who were also listening to popular pop records by Britney, N-Sync etc. It was 2002 when pop and punk became truly united in the form of Canada's Avril Lavigne, who went on to be one of the most successful females of all time. Pop Punk peaked during 2005, letting Emo bands lead the charge forward.
So, 2013? Well, as it was suggested above, Europe is treading waters similar to when the punk scene first emerged; Financial corruption, political tension and job cuts are a few of the issues that we're currently facing. Surely there are musicians making a stand and raising a middle finger to 'the man'?
We've seen Russian all-girl band Pussy Riot sent to prison after singing on the alter in Moscow, Punk music festivals have been growing in number and iconic bands from the movement are reforming and going on tour. Bands that are circulating today and that have been enjoying success as punk musicians are the likes of Middle Finger Salute, whose sound leans heavily on Hardcore and then there are those who are channeling Punk ideologies in a very unexpected way… First Love Band's Game On
So, if punk only reserved to a particular sound? Looking at the politically charged songs of the last decade, we can find punk ethics cropping up all over the place; The country light pop of First Love Band, Bruce Springsteen's 'We Take Care of Our Own' or Killer Mike's track 'Reagan'. This would indicate that punk is still very much alive but the way in which we are used to differentiate aspects of punk has changed.
Punk is still very much alive in today's society but the culture of punk evolved on from what it used to be, as with all genres and scenes. Whether the sound that defined punk will make a come back with the same strength as it did back in 70s is something that is always anticipated. We are in the right climate for something to kick off and, judging by the bands like Warm Soda gaining popularity on local scenes, so maybe we shouldn't lose hope just yet.

ISLAMABAD: The judicial magistrate's court on Friday granted ex-military leader Pervez Musharraf two days transit remand after he was arrested over charges related to judges confinement, officials said.
The former president was arrested Friday morning and presented before Judicial Magistrate Muhammad Abbas. After a brief hearing, the court issued a written order to grant him two-day transit remand.
The order further stated that police showed Musharraf's arrest on April 18 and requested for two weeks' judicial remand. The judicial magistrate further said that the police should abide by the Islamabad High Court's order and include Section 7 of anti-terrorism followed by submitting the report.
After attending the hearing, Pervez Musharraf returned to his Chak Shahzad farmhouse. While talking to Geo News,Musharraf said he returned to Pakistan out of his own will and respects the courts. He expressed his determination of facing the consequences.
"General Musharraf has been sent on a two-day judicial remand and he will stay at his farmhouse," a spokesman for his All Pakistan Muslim League said.
The court has declared his Chak Shahzad farmhouse as sub-jail where he will be confined for the next two days.
An official at the magistrate's court in Islamabad confirmed the order.
According to Geo News correspondent, Pervez Musharraf along with his team of lawyers appeared before Judicial Magistrate Muhammad Abbas Shah's court Friday morning under strict security. At the occasion, lawyers chanted slogans against Musharraf.
Musharraf's lawyer pleaded the judicial magistrate to declare him judicial as his client has threats to his life. Musharraf waited in the court's premises in his car and left for his residence after a while.
"Musharraf himself surrendered before the court Friday morning," Amjad said, denying media reports that he had been arrested prior to going to court.
Musharraf walked into the court wearing a traditional shalwar kamiz surrounded by police and paramilitary.
His team said they would seek bail in the Supreme Court later Friday.
The Islamabad High Court had on Thursday ordered his arrest over his controversial decision to dismiss judges when he imposed emergency rule in 2007.
Musharraf is also accused of conspiracy to murder PPP leader Benazir Bhutto in 2007 and over the death of Akbar Bugti during a 2006 military operation. He had been granted bail repeatedly since his homecoming on March 24.

An impressive 92% of residents who buy EVs in the state have an income of $75,000 or higher…. For many of these potential customers, it's not about a lack of income–Latinos, for example, increasingly represent California's middle class. Even though 39% of California residents are Latino, the group makes up just 19% of hybrid buyers."

A heroic struggle unfolded in Alabama as civil rights advocates, both black and white, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., fought through peaceful means for the right to vote. You can follow in their footsteps today on the 54-mile Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail."

It bears the hallmarks of an early creative work, its running time is demanding, it is laboured in its messages, clumsy speechifying punctuates much of its action. None of this however dents my affection for it, I enjoy Pressure's awkward honesty. Now understood as an audacious political work and record of its time, the film was shelved for three years by its producers. The 70s were a more volatile time for race relations in Britain and the BFI were nervous about the film's frank discussion and depictions of racism. Pressure merits re-watching because it grapples with an eternal question.

Compared with the 1990s, the numbers of Hispanic and Asian New Yorkers grew more slowly; blacks recorded their first population loss since the Civil War; and non-Hispanic whites, who registered their smallest population loss in decades, also logged the biggest gains of any group among young children.
'As a result, according to the 2010 census, the city was 33 percent non-Hispanic white, 29 percent Hispanic, 23 percent black and 13 percent Asian. In 2000, the city's makeup was 35 percent non-Hispanic white, 27 percent Hispanic, 25 percent black and 10 percent Asian."

Race, Riot Grrl, the Black Rock Movement, and Nirvana: The Teen Espirit Revisited Overflow
This all started with J*Davey.
The first sunny morning I experienced in San Francisco, right before I went to hang with the Wikipedians, I checked my email and was treated to a free download of Jack and Brook's cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
Little did I know that later in the year I would get a chance to try to contextualize the impact of Nevermind, and Nirvana, and I would do it in the pages of Spin thanks to my awesome editor Charles Aaron. (The magazine is on newsstands now, page 45, and in digital form.)
My pitch for a piece exploring the 90s, and cultural angst was accepted, and the opening paragraph of my pitch was so well received it ended up as the opening for the article. But when I sat down to research, I realized I was making some assumptions about writing on culture that weren't going to bear out. And after interviewing J*Davey, Jeff Chang, Laina Dawes, Allison Wolfe, Simon Tam, Mimi Thi Nguyen, Frannie Kelley, and Felix Contreras, I realized I had an 8,000 word draft that had to fit into a 2,000 word space. So a lot of really amazing thoughts – especially thoughts that veered a bit too far from the angst theme we eventually settled on – ended up on the cutting room floor. What's the deal with Generation X? What did NWA and Nirvana have in common? How did corporatization impact the grunge movement? Did the grunge movement push out black rockers? I could have written a dozen other articles based on the stories people told me, but alas, print has space limits.
Still, I wanted to share with you all a bit of the overflow. Fun quotes and discussions after the jump. Continue reading
Ignite Talk: Hacking Diversity, Part 1 – How Do We Define Culture?
Back in June, I participated in an experimental journalism unconference called Spark Camp. The conversations were great and the other attendees were amazing, but one of the highlights of the conference were our ignite sessions. An ignite talk is when presenters agree to create a five minute talk on any subject, accompanied by twenty slides that advance automatically every 20 seconds. This was a bit nerve-wracking for me, since I'm an extemporaneous speaker by nature, and it takes me about five minutes to get warmed up enough to relax (and to slow down my naturally quick speech pattern.) But it turned out fairly well. Took me a while to get into the rhythm though. I decided to do my first ignite talk on Nirvana and how we define culture, since I spent most of June working on the Spin article out in this month's issue (More on that later). So here's the video – transcript after the jump:

Hypoglycemia may occur as a result of an excess of insulin relative to food intake, energy expenditure, or both. Mild episodes of hypoglycemia usually can be treated with oral glucose. Adjustments in drug dosage, meal patterns, or exercise, may be needed. More severe episodes with coma, seizure, or neurologic impairment may be treated with intramuscular/subcutaneous glucagon or concentrated intravenous glucose. Sustained carbohydrate intake and observation may be necessary because hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery.
