Mistakes are just teaching opportunities!
I recently saw this being passed around facebook:
I don't know the original source, but the most recent was I fucking love science, who often has great posts. So what's wrong about this one?
Almost all the stars we see in the sky are relatively local, astronomically speaking. Tens, hundreds, or a few thousand light-years away at most. The Milky Way itself is only on the order of a hundred thousand light years across, and due to the gas and dust in our galaxy, and the fact that stars aren't all that bright given this huge distance, we just don't see a very big part of our own galaxy without the aid of telescopes. Only those with excellent eyesight at dark locations can even make out the fuzzy light from external galaxies, so the discussion is really about the few thousand easily visible stars in the sky.
Now, the lifetimes of stars vary tremendously, from a few million years for the most massive and luminous stars (which are exceedingly rare), to perhaps a trillion years for the ubiquitous M stars also known as red dwarfs. Our own sun has been burning for five billion years and will be around for another five billion or so.
So the argument put forth above is that "many" of the starts in the sky (sounds like anything from hundreds to thousands to me, but more than a few or a handful) are within a few thousand years of their end, even though a thousand years is a tiny fraction of a stellar lifetime for all but a handful of the most massive stars in our sky — of which they are only a few, since they're rare. Now, there well may be a few (not many!) that are already dead. Betelguese, the left shoulder of Orion, is one of them. Eta Carinae is another.
Let me make an analogy. Let's say we watch a day of TV, all TV shows from the past few years (some new, some repeats). You say, "Good friends are like stars — celebrities on TV. They're always there." Then your dorky know-it-all friend says that most of the shows were not live but recorded a few years ago, so many of the people on those shows are already dead. That's BS, obviously, because a year or two ago is a short time compared to the typical lifetime of humans, and terminally ill/extremely aged actors are rarely seen on popular entertainment. Sure, a few actors or other TV personalities might have died, sure it happens, but saying "many" with certainty would be a bet few should take willingly. (Obviously things would be different if you were watching Turner Classic Movies or another TV channel featuring old shows from a bygone era — the equivalent to pointing your telescope at a galaxy in a distant part of the universe billions of light years away.)
And for my money, stars become even more romantic the more you learn about them.

Ford Motor Co.'s advancements in hybrid technology may move it into a leadership position in a technology that has been virtually owned by Toyota Motor Corp.
Today, the company announced that its 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid had attained a combined fuel economy rating of 47 mpg, or 6 mpg better than the Toyota Camry, which is its only real competition in the category.
But not only did Ford leap past its competitor by 15% in fuel economy, it also reduced the base price of the Fusion hybrid by $1,575 to $27,200, down from $28,775 on the 2012 Fusion hybrid.
Ford Motor Co. said today the hybrid version of its 2013 Fusion midsize sedan received a fuel-economy rating from the Environmental Protection Agency of 47 miles per gallon in city driving and 47 mpg on the highway.
With those numbers Ford claims the title of best fuel economy in a midsize sedan, beating out rivals like the Toyota Camry hybrid (43 city/39 highway) and Hyundai Sonata hybrid (35/40). It still can't beat the Prius, which some consumers think of as synonymous with the term "hybrid." But it comes fairly close to that smaller car's 51/48 rating.
The battle for the heart of the U.S. car market is shifting into overdrive.
This week Honda Motor Co. began producing a redesigned version of its Accord midsize sedan that is roomier and more fuel-efficient than the old version, and jammed with new technology such as an infotainment system that pipes Facebook into the car.
Honda is counting on the Accord to catch Toyota Motor Corp.'s Camry, the current top-selling midsize car, a large and strategically important niche considered key to brand loyalty.
Honda revealed the first images of its 2013 Accord, the company's bread-and-butter model that has been a top seller for many years. The car maker calls the redesigned model "the most sculpted Accord ever," but to some it may look a lot like the car it replaces.
Part of the reason cars like the Accord and its rivals like the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, both recently redesigned as well, don't undergo stunning visual changes every few years is that they are playing to a conservative audience. Midsize family-sedan buyers tend to shop based on price more than style. Indeed, they are a notoriously cheap crowd and often ignore sexy cars if they can find a dowdy one at a lower price.
Car dealers joke about auto makers putting money in the glove box or in the trunk to sell a dud model. Ford Motor Co. isn't kidding — it says it's considering using shredded currency as a substitute for oil-based plastics in the construction of its cars.
Ford highlighted the potential uses of retired dollar bills in a press release designed to demonstrate the company's determination to consume less petroleum in manufacturing its vehicles.
Among other renewable or recycled materials, Ford says it wants to expand the use of soy-based compounds, an idea that company founder Henry Ford touted vigorously in his prime.
Ford said it will offer the option of an automatic start-stop system on its 2013 Fusion at a cost to customers of $295. The car maker said the Fusion will be the first non-hybrid car in the U.S. to be equipped with the feature, which saves fuel by shutting down the engine when the car is stopped and idling.
The company said fuel savings vary with driving styles and traffic conditions. But the people who typically drive in heavily congested areas could see up to a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency. On average the technology boosts efficiency by 3.5%, Ford said.
Nissan released another teaser video of its coming 2013 Altima midsize sedan. Just eight seconds long, the clip shows the car's left rear corner. The Altima's redesigned taillight dominates the frame and suggests a sleeker, more painstakingly designed car than previous Altimas.
Where earlier versions of the car looked generic, almost devoid of styling in some cases, the new model is expected to be more attractive. The Altima has recently become a more serious threat to popular rivals in the family-sedan segment like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Nissan sold 268,981 Altimas in the U.S. last year compared with 308,510 Camrys and 235,628 Accords.
Nissan Motor Co. released a video snippet of its 2013 Altima, a midsize sedan that has been the car maker's bread-and-butter volume vehicle for more than a decade. Instead of answering our questions the sneak peek raises several, including, "Will it be sexy enough?"
The coming car, which is to be shown for the first time at the New York International Auto Show in April, represents a critical step for Nissan as it tries to become a more formidable presence in the U.S. market.
You can watch the video after the jump.
Ford Motor Co. plans to unveil its next-generation Nascar Sprint Cup racing car for the 2013 season at a press conference today at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C.
The car reflects the company's redesigned Fusion midsize sedan, which caused a sensation during its debut at the Detroit auto show earlier this month.
Ford is the first of the four car makers involved in Sprint Cup racing to roll out its 2013 car. Rivals Chevrolet, Dodge and Toyota are expected to follow shortly. This year's Nascar season kicks off with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 26.

The Goths were an Eastern European civilization known for bringing Rome to its knees and traveling all over Europe, bringing devastation with them. The leaders of the Goths and their Age of Empires II equivalents were the Huskarls, the Gothic unique unit. As the Goths were known for their raiding prowess, the medium infantry Huskarls have high pierce armor and shrug off damage from fortifications. This also makes them very powerful against archers, and they also move quick enough to chase them down. The Goths were known as flexible nomads with mostly nonexistent formal government, so their unique technology Anarchy allows their leaders, the Huskarls, to be trained at the Barracks like normal infantry as early as the Castle Age. Perfusion allows them to train infantry extremely fast. As the Goths were known for being able to mass soldiers very quickly, the most spammable units already available to all civilizations become even moreso thanks to their infantry costing less and their Barracks producing faster. As raiders, they get extra attack versus buildings. Being nomads gave them other distinct advantages, and their villagers can hunt bigger game effectively and carry more meat. Finally, the Goths get a higher population limit than other civilizations to reflect their ability to field armies quickly.
As a result, the Goths' advantages predominantly focus on Infantry. Gothic infantry are cheaper than that of other civilizations. Their unique unit is the Huskarl, which is usually created from the Castle; however in The Conquerors expansion pack, they can research their Unique Technology Anarchy, which allows Huskarls to be created from the Barracks. In the Imperial Age, they can research another unique technology called Perfusion, which allows all Barracks units to be created 50% faster. With both of these technologies, Huskarls can be created very quickly.
One major disadvantage of Goths is their inability to build Stone Walls (having to rely on Palisade Walls for defense) or get any tower above the basic Watch Tower. However they tend to make up with it with their strong and quick-to-create military. It is advisable to create as many Huskarls as possible when playing as the Goths.
Unique Unit: Huskarl (anti-archer and arrow-resistant infantry)
Unique Technologies: Anarchy (Huskarls can be created from Barracks), Perfusion (Barracks create units faster)
Civilization Bonuses Edit
Changes in The ForgottenEdit
Campaign Edit
The Goths are featured frequently during the Barbarossa campaign. Many of the enemy teams are of the Goth civilization during the first part of the campaign, although during the later missions the enemy tend to be Teutons, Saracens, and Franks. They are the primary enemy (Saxons) in the Hastings scenario of the Battle of the Conquerors campaign, where they have stone walls despite the fact that when playing in random maps they don't. They're also featured in two of the Genghis Khan scenarios.
The Goths are also seen in the Attila the Hun campaign on the "Catalunian Fields" scenario as the divided Ostrogoths and Visigoths. The Ostrogoths are allied to Attila, however the Visigoths are on the opposing team, allied with the Western Roman Empire (blue/Byzantines).
In The Forgotten expansion, the Goths finally feature in their own campaign, following the exploits of Visigothic king Alaric I around the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
Their in-game language is Old or Middle High German, which is also spoken by the Teutons. Historically, however, they spoke their very own Gothic Language, which was related to Old Norse and Old High German.
Despite being portrayed as an infantry-rush civilization in Age of Empires II, contemporary authors characterized them as fielding large amounts of heavy cavalry, supported by light cavalry and horse archers.

Apparently not willing to let things get to the point that someone has to step in and say, "enough already," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently told The Wall Street Journal that the company will be easing up on the number of accessories it releases for the Wii. More specifically, he said that, with the upcoming release of the Wii MotionPlus and Wii Speak add-ons, "most of the ideas for accessories that we had initially come up with are out now," and that while they "might think up some more," they "don't have any plans to release a whole lot more." Of course, we're guessing that's not a sentiment echoed by third-party manufacturers, who we're sure we can count on to keep on cluttering up the living rooms of Wii owners the world over.

No matter how successful a forex day trading strategy Buy Cialis Tadalafil, may be, you must practice sound money management to trade the forex market profitably and more importantly to be around for the "long haul".

what is the highest score of India against Pakistan in Asia cup
Asked by: ashutosh on 25-01-2011
Commented by Binit on 25 Jan, 2011India and Pakistan have been head to head in Asia cup 9 times, spanning back to April 1984. India's highest total against Pakistan in Asia cup is 308 for 7 wkts at National stadium in Karachi which was made from collaborative effort from Gautam Gambhir (35), Virendra Sehwag (49), Yuvraj Singh (37), MS Dhoni (76), Rohit Sharma (58) and Irfan Pathan (38). Interestingly, an unbeaten 123 from Younis Khan followed by hurricane 65 run opening stand between Salman Butt and Nasir Jamshed off just 8 overs made sure India lost that match by 8 wickets.
The only other total by India in excess of 300 against Pakistan in Asia cup is 301 in that sae tournament and they won that game.

|Research to Help Shape Dietary Guidelines
By Jeannemarie Beiseigel
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasize a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. While the message on fruits and vegetables is probably not new, you may be curious about the importance of whole grains and low-fat dairy.
Dairy products such as milk and cheese are an excellent source of calcium, something many Americans lack in their diet. Calcium is important for healthy bones, teeth, and muscle. Nowadays, everything from breakfast cereals and sandwich breads to fruit juice and soft drinks are fortified with calcium. Even calcium-fortified milk is available, which brings the usual 300 mg of calcium per cup of milk to about 450 mg. Add that to a serving of a highly fortified cereal and you get nearly 1,500 mg of calcium. That is more than your daily requirement. However, calcium is absorbed best when smaller amounts are eaten throughout the day. A cup of low-fat milk plus cereal without added calcium provides about 300 mg of calcium. Add non-fat yogurt, cheese, and another glass of milk at later meals and you will reach your calcium goal and be able to absorb it much better.
You may be wondering if calcium-fortified foods are equal to dairy products. Certain calcium-fortified foods provide as much calcium as dairy products, but dairy products offer a lot more. Other nutrients important for bone health such as protein, vitamins A and D, and phosphorus are found in dairy products - think of dairy as a one-stop shop! Choosing low fat or non-fat dairy minimizes saturated fat and calories. When it comes to calcium, you want to be sure to get enough without going overboard. For most of us, that means having about three servings of low-fat dairy daily. If you don't like or tolerate dairy products, choose non-dairy sources of calcium such as soymilk and calcium-fortified foods.
Stroll down the cereal or bread aisle and you will see advertisements about whole grains. Americans typically eat bread, rice, pastas and corn products that have been refined. This causes loss of beneficial fiber, vitamins and minerals present in whole grains. Whole grains may reduce your risk of some cancers, improve digestion, and even help maintain a healthy weight. To get the benefits from whole grains, the new guidelines tell you to make half of your grains whole. See where you can substitute refined products with whole grains in your own diet. Read food labels and look for the words "whole grain". Choose whole grain breakfast cereals such as bran flakes or shredded wheat. Heat up a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. Prepare brown rice instead of white and select whole grain breads. Get creative; grab a cookbook and some try different whole grains such as bulgur, barley, quinoa, or wheat berries. You may find a new favorite.
While there are many reasons to incorporate dairy and whole grains into your diet, there are some questions about the effects of calcium and whole grains on other nutrients. Phytate, a natural component of grains, may reduce absorption of iron and zinc. A high calcium intake may also interfere with absorption of iron and zinc. With the increased emphasis on a diet rich in whole grains and dairy products, scientists at the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center want to test how this may affect other nutrients, particularly zinc. If you are a woman between the ages of 21 to 50, and would like to participate in an upcoming 16-week study to examine how phytate and calcium affect zinc absorption, please call us at 795-8396 or go online to www.ars.usda.gov/npa/gfhnrc. Participants will eat meals at the Nutrition Center during eight days of this study, enjoy their regular food and drink with limited restrictions on remaining days, and they could earn up to $575.
So, include more whole grains and low-fat dairy in your diet, but remember, as always, the keys to success are variety and moderation. A diet containing whole-grains, low-fat dairy, lean meats, beans and nuts, and plenty of fruits and vegetables is the best way to get the nutrients you need. For tips on how to fit dairy and whole grains into your diet, go to www.mypyramid.gov.

Katie Holmes' First Tweets Are Adorable
Her first announcement post alluded to the fun she's having on the set of The Giver, which she's been filming in South Africa. She costars with some seriously amazing actors, including none other than Miss Meryl Streep. Holmes' second tweet was an adorable picture of the cast doing some group bonding — with even Jeff Bridges and Taylor Swift getting in on the fun. It's great to keep tabs on a movie that we've been so excited about, so here's hoping she shares even more behind-the-scenes goodies. You can bet we'll be

Hairysock clothes line broach
Annex Vintage tiger print vintage blouse
AA denim circle skirt
YeYe vintage grey suede purse
Tabio grey opaque tights
Vintage oxford shoes (similar on sale!)
Nail color Surf by Revlon
Nail color Surf by Revlon
Yesterday, I got this lovely little clothes line broach in the mail, when I first saw it on my tumblr feed I was taken away by the cuteness of this sweet little piece of jewelry. I came across this blouse at Annex Vintage last week, I love the cartoon tiger print on it with the big pointed white collar and cuffs. I have quite a few crazy printed blouses in my closet and I was having such a hard time styling it for real life till I met this denim circle skirt. I find that when styling a crazy vintage piece like this blouse the best way to go is with modern up to date basics, it makes me feel less like I am wearing a costume.
I know I keep talking about the weather but it sure has been nuts! Last week was Summer and today is back to nasty Winter weather, there is actually snow on the ground this morning, I guess the fancy shoes will have to go in hibernation for a few more weeks ;(
Have a great week everyone!

"Le Week-End" is about a British couple spending a weekend in Paris.
The couple — played by Lindsay Duncan and Jim Broadbent — are well into their 60s and have been married 30 years. In some ways, the film seems like an extension of Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise"/"Before Sunset"/"Before Midnight" trilogy — this time with the couple much older (Duncan even looks like how trilogy star Julie Delpy might appear down the road).
Meg (Duncan) and Nick (Broadbent) arrive in Paris and spend a lot of time walking and talking, and sitting and talking; assessing their relationship, themselves and each other.
The film, directed by Roger Michell ("Notting Hill," "Venus") and written by Hanif Kureishi ("My Beautiful Laundrette," "Venus"), is about aging, and the many things that can come with it.
Among these things: the desire to hang on to reminders of youth (in this case through listening to Bob Dylan, smoking a joint or re-enacting a dance from Jean-Luc Godard's great '60s classic "Band of Outsiders"); regret over missed opportunities; second-guessing choices made; sexual frustration/apathy; fears for the future, including being left alone or running out of money; the desire to still be desired.
After 30 years, Meg and Nick are going through an identity crisis — individually and as a couple. The film follows them as they try to figure things out — but not in an orderly way; life isn't usually like that. Their weekend together is confusing, contradictory, messy.
Duncan's performance is the highlight here. I first saw the Scottish actress about 20 years ago in the British TV miniseries "Traffik" — later remade as a feature film by Steven Soderbergh as "Traffic" — about the heroin trade. She was mesmerizing as a drug smuggler's wife who ruthlessly continues her husband's business after he is arrested.
She might not be a household name in the United States — she has done a lot of stage and British TV work — but she has an intelligent, sexy, mature presence similar to that of Helen Mirren, and that's on display in her starring role here.
Broadbent plays his typically baffled-by-life character as English professor Nick, and is fine in the role. Jeff Goldblum shows up midway through as an extroverted American, one of Nick's old friends, and pumps an appealingly strange new life into the film.

Paris (Fides Service) - "The path to peace is the only path that leads to the building of a society of more justice and solidarity, and it is the duty of all believers and all persons of good will to work to ensure that the future of humanity is anchored to the cause and culture of peace". Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said this yesterday 4 November in Paris during a Study Seminar to mark the 40th anniversary of the Pacem in Terris encyclical by Pope John XXIII. The Seminar was organised jointly by the Pontifical Council and the Holy See's permanent Observer to UNESCO and held at the UNECSO offices in Paris. Among those present UNESCO General Director Koïchiro Matsuura.
Underlining important points of convergence between the finalities UNESCO and the message of the historical encyclical to promote an authentic culture of peace and to cultivate its presuppositions and implications, Cardinal Martino stressed the contribution that Pacem in Terris can offer today towards building peace in this era of globalisation with its emphasis on the unity of the human family, the universal good and a political world authority.
Referring to this contribution Cardinal Martino recalled that the right to work, condemnation of racism, protection of minorities, assistance to exiles and refugees, international solidarity towards those in need whatever their citizenship, are merely applications of the principle of the world citizenship affirmed in Pacem in Terris.
Referring to another important point raised by the encyclical, the necessity to have a political world authority and to strive to reach the common good, the President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace said "it is not a question of drafting the Constitution of a super world-state, but rather to continue to deepen the process already begun of shared construction at transparent and subsidiary levels of authority", developing also the pedagogical potential of international bodies, particularly in defence of human rights. "Following Pacem in Terris –Cardinal Martino said – we must increase awareness of those rights which are not fruit of human consensus, however high and authoritative it may be, but rather the expression of an order and the reflection of the dignity of the human person and the unity of the human family ".
At the end of his address Cardinal Martino said: "the cause of peace can never be threatened by unjustifiable clashes between cultures, civilisations and even less religions. The most effective antidote to avoid recourse to war is to build a culture of peace founded on the four pillars of truth, justice, love and freedom, according to the teaching of Pacem in Terris by John XXIII. (S.L.) (Fides Service 5/11/2003 – lines 34; words 441).

|Estimate of a predictive cut-off value for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D reflecting abdominal obesity in Korean adolescents.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22749174 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Vitamin D deficiency is a serious global issue. Although the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] test is generally the most accurate way to assess vitamin D levels, the optimal range of 25(OH)D has yet to be established. Moreover, the optimal level may vary according to race, region, and age. Suboptimal vitamin D status is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, which are the major risk factors for cardiovascular disorders; however, these relationships in children and adolescents have yet to be clearly determined. Therefore, we identified the best predictive cut-off value for reflecting abdominal obesity and, based on this value, we investigated the relationship between suboptimal 25(OH)D status and the risk for having abdominal obesity, being overweight or obese, and having metabolic syndrome in Korean adolescents. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 713 Korean adolescents, between 12-19 years of age, and used data collected from the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Receiver operation characteristic curve analysis was used to identify the cut-off value that reflected abdominal obesity. The cut-off value of serum 25(OH)D that reflected abdominal obesity in Korean adolescents was 17.6 ng/mL. After making adjustments for gender, age, and regular physical exercise, the group that had lower levels of serum 25(OH)D compared to the cut-off value had a significantly higher risk for abdominal obesity, obesity, and metabolic syndrome than the group with 25(OH)D levels higher than the cut-off value. Suboptimal vitamin D status based on this value is associated with increased risk for abdominal obesity, obesity, and metabolic syndrome among Korean adolescents.

Police say driver of truck who pulled in front of Willoughby officer in fatal crash had a BAC of .14
Case going to Lake County grand jury Friday
WILLOUGHBY, Ohio - Willoughby's law director and police chief said Wednesday that toxicology tests reveal the driver of a pickup truck who pulled in front of officer Jason Gresko had a blood alcohol level of .14.
Officer Gresko was responding to a call Sept. 21 when dash cam video appeared to show a pickup truck driver pulled in front of the path of Gresko's patrol car.
The officer swerved, striking a tree. Officer Gresko was killed in the crash.
The driver of the pickup has not been charged. Results of the investigation will be presented to a Lake County grand jury Friday.
The grand jury will decide if felony charges should be filed.
A source told NewsChannel5 the driver of the pickup was dropping off a friend of one of his children and was looking for an address while attempting to pull into the driveway.
Officer Gresko was driving on Harmony Lane with his patrol car lights and flashers on, but no siren was activated.
Willoughby's Police Chief Jack Beckwith said there is no policy that says an officer has to have a siren on if the flashers are on and that it's up to the officer's discretion.
Officer Gresko was 32 years old and was also a Cleveland Clinic police officer.

Early Childhood Education
Step into your child's future
Our Early Education centers provide a child-centered emergent curriculum with a focus on learning through play and exploration. Parental involvement is crucial to the child's success. We believe that parents are the child's first and most influential teacher. In conjunction with our Family Literacy Program, we focus on literacy & math skills, kindergarten readiness and social/ emotional learning. It is our goal that every child will enter kindergarten prepared for academic and social success. We provide a safe, nurturing environment that promotes the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of each child so that they can reach their full potential. Our 3 programs serve children from birth to age 5 and their families. All three are currently located at 120 Weeks Street while we await construction of the new Early Education Center.
Early Education Philosophy
Through warm, positive relationships with the child's Caregiver/Teacher, a child develops a sense of trust in the world around them and a feeling of confidence. Such interactions are critical to the development of a child's self esteem and self-worth. The trusted adult becomes the secure base from which the child begins to explore the environment.
Infants and toddlers learn by experiencing the environment through their senses (seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling), by physically moving around and through social interaction. Non-mobile infants absorb and organize a great deal of information about the world around them.
We provide an environment that supports families and embraces diversity. This is accomplished by the use of an anti-bias curriculum, hiring staff that reflects the race and culture of our families and involving parents in the development, implementation and evaluation of programs.
We provide quality childcare services for children ages 2 weeks to entering kindergarten. Our services are offered to the community as well as eligible low-income families who are either working or enrolled in training programs or school such as the Teenage Parent Program (TAPP) at Santa Cruz High School (SCHS) and/or Cabrillo College. We also provide childcare services for children through Child Protective Services (CPS). Limited spaces are also provided at our centers for full fee paying families.
TAPP Infant Center (Teen Age Parent Program)
TAPP Infant Center (Teen Age Parent Program) serves infants of teen parents who are students in the Santa Cruz City School District.
TAM Infant/Toddler Center serves ages 2 months to 2 1/2 years. This site serves both teen parents and community parents.
Here is a little bit of history about the Walnut Avenue Women's Center's Childcare Services. The TAM Infant Center, formerly the La Fonda Infant Center, was established in 1987 by the Santa Cruz City School District on the premises of SCHS, to provide services to the TAM program and the community at large. In 1990 the Walnut Avenue Women's Center (formerly the YWCA of Santa Cruz) assumed responsibility for the administration of the TAM Infant Center, so we are now called the Walnut Avenue Women's Center TAM Infant Center. The TAM Infant Center provides subsidized childcare through a grant from the California Department of Education, Child Development Division.
Downtown Children's Center
Downtown Children's Center serves children ages 2 1/2 to those entering kindergarten.
Our daily activities include both free play and structured activities.
Preschoolers learn best through play that is purposely constructed to increase a child's knowledge of literacy, math and science. The curriculum encompasses activities that support the child's growth in the following domains: social, emotional, physical and intellectual. The most appropriate teaching technique for this age is to give ample opportunities for the children to use self-initiated repetition to practice newly acquired skills and to experience feelings of autonomy and success. Patience is essential.
Since children learn through concrete experiences, opportunities are given to explore their experiences through age and developmentally-appropriate curriculum and activities. Play is an essential part of the learning experience and through play, the children learn social skills and problem solving. The staff of the centers is here to support parents in your role as your child's first and primary teacher. We encourage and look forward to your involvement in the caring for and education of your child. This is your center.
The Downtown Children's Center was established in 1972. The center is located at located at the TAM Infant Center, 120 Weeks St. Santa Cruz, CA. 95060. The center was formerly known as the YWCA Pre School– Santa Cruz. Both of our centers are within walking distant from the Walnut Avenue Women's Center, located at 303 Walnut Avenue. Downtown Children's Center also provides subsidized childcare through a grant from the California Department of Education, Child Development Division.

With early voting starting today for the primary election, the Macon County League of Women Voters hosted a candidate forumlast Thursday with five of the six primary candidates discussing local issues to better inform voters on the candidates vying for the three open commissioner posts.
Candidates running for the positions are in District I (Highlands): incumbent Jimmy Tate-R and Steve Higdon; District II incumbent Kevin Corbin-R and Vic Drummond- R; District III incumbent Bobby Kuppers-D and Rick Snyder- D. Higdon did not participate in the forum.
Macon County League of Women Voters member Susan Ervin opened the meeting by thanking the incumbents and their challengers for participating in the forum. Candidates were invited to spend three minutes answering two questions and then were allowed to give closing remarks and discuss an issue of their choice. Ervin served as the moderator for the event.
The first question Ervin asked during the forum was in regards to the economic development opportunities within the county.
"In the future, the economy of Macon County may look rather different than it did before the decline. Please tell us two or three of your best ideas for economic development in Macon County," said Ervin.
Snyder: "I believe that the county needs to explore every opportunity available to make the county small businesses friendly. Perhaps we can offer some low interest financing for companies willing to locate here. The key would be that any financing must include guarantees of hiring local people for their employees. Small businesses are the true backbone of the economy and Macon County needs to make sure that we are doing everything possible to attract small businesses."
Drummond: "Politicians always talk about directly creating jobs, but, I would like to say that they can't really bring jobs to an area. But what they can do is promote policies that attract businesses. Some of these policies, for example, might be having low tax rates, developing the area so that you have good schools, having good housing available, having community housing, just having things that attract people to come to the area. I am not in favor of tax incentives to bring companies to an area. I do not think it is the position of government to promote things that way. I think that Macon County needs to be realistic about this economy and the future economy and the limited opportunities we have beyond small businesses ... I don't think in the current economy we have many jobs either small or large coming into our county."
Tate: "I think what we can do as county commissioners to promote our county is be ready for it when it does get here, and we can hold what we have. I feel like our EDC is doing great things to promote our county and as liaison to the EDC, I am very excited about what Mr. Jenkins is doing for Macon County and I am trying to follow that closely, promoting what our EDC does and they are doing great. What I mean by being ready is how important it is that our educational facilities are ready. Education and the hospital are the first two things businesses want to know about when they are looking to expand in a location. Both of those thing need to be in top notch order to outshine the surrounding areas ... what I mean by hold is that we need to keep what we have. We need to keep all of the jobs that we already have, and we need to do that by trying to keep our taxes as low as possible."
Corbin: "To be able to talk about what we can do here for the economy, first I need to talk about what caused it. What caused it was a lot of things that happened in Washington and on Wall Street, it didn't happen on Main Street in Franklin. It has hit particularly hard here because our economy has been traditionally based in large part on tourism, and the second home and building market. I have a brother who works in that market and he has a fraction of the work that he had 10 years ago, so what can we do as a government? Well, one thing about speaking fourth out of five, a lot of things have already been said and I agree with all that has been said. For one, government needs to stay out of the way. We don't need to create any unneeded regulations that prevent businesses from happening. We need to assist the EDC in their efforts. The other commissioners on the board can tell you that as chairman, earlier this year I called a planning meeting and we identified promoting and do what we can to encourage growth and jobs a top priority. We have to keep the infrastructure strong, and with that I am talking about schools. We are just completing the last of a long range plan that I had the privilege of being a part of, which started about 14 years ago. We had older schools, some schools were 50- plus years old. When we finish the new Iotla school, we are going to have a top notch school system, low maintenance, and continue the low tax rates. I believe in keeping tax rates low; the budget we have this year is 15 percent less than the budget we had in 2007-2008."
Kuppers: "Well, step one is to keep what you have; you keep what you have by networking, infrastructure, by being an entrepreneurial community. We appreciate the businesses that we have and we intend for them to stay and expand here if they can. Second, work force training. I would love to take credit for what I am about to say; I would love to say that I had the vision that people had on the board, some of those people are in this room today, when they invested in Southwestern Community College in Franklin. I am telling you that that investment will keep us alive. It will keep us going because that is where you train the workforce. We went to Whitley not too long ago and the first thing they said was, well we want to hire people, but we can't find anyone who does what we do. My first response to them was, have you talked to Southwestern Community College, because I bet you they will train people in about anything you want. So I think, we should not underestimate what we have. This board, which I am very proud to be a part of, has done a tremendous job of looking downstream and trying to stay in front of things and have made tough decisions, knowing they will pay off down the line. The third thing is infrastructure, and by infrastructure I want to talk about things like schools. We can't let our schools slip ... Our airport and the county's recreation are two other boards that we need to focus on. Keeping those aspects of our infrastructure strong is as important as going out and shaking hands when you are trying to get companies to move here."
The second question Ervin asked the candidates was their approach to the future of planning in the county.
"Land use regulation and planning has been made rather controversial lately, with some believing that planning promotes good development and others believing that planning hampers development with short term profits being thrown up against long term benefits. What specifically do you think needs to be done in reference to planning and development in the upcoming term?" asked Ervin.
Tate: "I am a sixth generation Macon County resident and I am very proud of that ... with that in my mind, me personally, as a county commissioner and a resident of this county, I give each of you my word that I will always be a good steward for this county ... it has to be a balance between being a good steward of our lands and providing fair and common sense regulations for our residents."
Corbin: "We need to review the ordinances we already have, let's see where we are and find out what ordinances we have and work on those first. We need to review the subdivision ordinance and work closer on a few things in that. We need to move forward. Planning is not a bad word, planning doesn't mean to pass a bunch of ordinances, planning means planning. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
Kuppers: "I think there is a misconception among some folks that there is a correlation between planning and regulations. Planning is what you do to determine whether or not you need regulations; planning is not regulations ... tough economic times demand planning. It is more important to plan in tough economic times, than when you have all the money need. When you have all the money you need, no one asks the hard questions ... the Macon County Comprehensive Plan was developed by the people of Macon County, and if there is anything that shows what the people of this county wants, it's the Comprehensive Plan. Should I be fortunate to get a second term, my fellow commissioners are going to be so tired of hearing the following words, they won't know to do. How does that fit into the Comprehensive Plan? Show me that in the Comprehensive Plan. So many people put so much time into developing that, and we need to take it off the shelf and use it."
Drummond: "I believe economic development is the life blood of any community and without it, I believe the community will disappear ... I can state emphatically that I am against planning that is done by any government entity that is going to tell me where I can live, what kind of residence I can live in ... I can also state emphatically that I am against planning that will infringe on my rights to use my properties as I see fit. As far as regulations go, I am against regulations simply for regulations sake. Just because a government body has the power to regulate or propose regulations is not a justification to do it. If there is a specific and well defined problem that can be solved with regulations, then do it. If that is not the case, then I would not promote regulations."
Snyder: "We need to take another look at the steep slope division ordinances which are making it hard for property owners and building in Macon County."
After giving closing remarks on the candidates stances on the budget, education, law enforcement and other topics, voters were given the opportunity to meet with the candidates and ask them additional questions.

I'm erase/reformating a 236gig drive on an iMac 24" G5 with Leopard and it's taking HOURS. I'm reformating because maching ran very slow and sometimes only booted to the grey screen with Mac logo and spinning gear. Might this indicate physical problems on the machine?

Get the FCN APPS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- She's taking five AP classes while competing in fencing and figure skating. Alisa Chernomashentsev is our Student of the week.
Alisa is graduating Atlantic Coast High School after just three years and she's heading to the Air Force Academy next year. The academy only has an eleven percent acceptance rate and they chose Alisa.
She's also an expert fencer and is competing at the Junior Olympics next weekend.
She said she's not sure of a career path yet but she might like to go into the intelligence field.
"It's a lot of work and I try to keep on a tight schedule. Sometimes after school I'll go figure skate and fence and do all of my homework after," Alisa said.
AP Honors Academy counselor Kimberly Rubin said Alisa is a delight in the classroom.
"She's got a wonderful personality. Her teachers absolutely love having her in class," Rubin said. "Her peers depend on her for help and she's always got a smile on her face no matter how difficult her day."

- Filed Under
With a heavy heart, Colonel Crawford girls basketball coach Amber Rall informed players of her decision to resign Thursday.
"I just encouraged them to keep giving 110 percent and never give up, and if they need anything I'm just a phone call away," Rall said.
In just three years, Rall has left her mark with the Eagles. She finished with an overall record of 51-20, 30-10 in the North Central Conference. Rall led Colonel Crawford to three sectional championships, back-to-back district runner-up seasons, and back-to-back NCC Silver Division titles. ...

NEW YORK – All Disaster Recovery Centers in New York will stop offering service on Sundays beginning Feb. 3, 2013. Hurricane Sandy survivors in New York can still receive assistance Monday through Saturday at any recovery center.
The State of New York and the Federal Emergency Management Agency closely monitor visitor traffic at all New York Disaster Recovery Centers and revise hours of operation accordingly. Traffic at the recovery centers has slowed on Sundays. So far, more than 145,000 Hurricane Sandy survivors have visited recovery centers in New York.
In addition, the recovery center located in the Sheepshead Bay Club, 3076 Emmons Ave., Brooklyn, NY, 11235, will close early, at 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013. The center will open at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 4.
The recovery center at the American Legion, 209 Cross Bay Blvd., Broad Channel, NY 11693, will open at 10 a.m., Monday, Feb. 4, 2013.
The two centers' normal operating hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Survivors who need help may still visit any of the other 17 centers that remain open throughout New York. To find the nearest center, the following options are available: Text DRC and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA), and a text message will be sent back with the address. Also, the Disaster Recovery Center locator is available online at www.FEMA.gov/disaster-recovery-centers.
Individuals also can find a recovery center – and register for FEMA help – online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or via smartphone or tablet by going to m.fema.gov or by downloading the FEMA app. Survivors also can call 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585). People who use 7-1-1 Relay or Video Relay Services (VRS) should call 800-621-3362. The toll-free telephone numbers operate 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. EST, seven days a week until further notice.
Hurricane Sandy survivors in New York have until Feb. 27, 2013, to register for federal disaster assistance, which can include money for rent, essential home repairs, personal property losses and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance.

Hands holding small mirror ball up towards light

On June 2, APRON will host a disco ball at The Ice House, 226 E. Washington St., from 4 to 7 p.m. The event will raise money for APRON to offer short-term financial relief to people in the food and beverage industry at local, independently owned establishments who are experiencing financial distress because of illness or injury.
The organization fills an important need, according to Luca Bianconcini, who's on the board. "Most of these folks don't have insurance," he says. "We are not insurance and not a substitute, but we are a safety net. Some people live paycheck to paycheck or tip to tip, and when they miss two weeks' work, that's their rent money, their utilities. We're here to help them out."
Some 30-plus restaurants will take part in the ball, offering cocktails, appetizers and dessert items with a '70s theme. "Hopefully, everyone is going to dress appropriately (in '70s attire), too," says Dawn Bianconcini, also on the APRON board. "It's fun, and it's a great cause." The event theme is "We are Family."
A silent auction will feature travel, shopping, dining and spirit products. The auction was the largest revenue generator at last year's event.
Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door. To purchase tickets, visit www.aproninc.org.

I really feel with just practicing the speech in front of others a couple of times before will really elevate your pronunciation goal. I even stammer some times and slur my words because English wasn't my first language it was spanish. So you definitely have what it takes man to reach your goals. P.A. : As an international student I definitely know how you feel! Sometimes I feel like as if my topic is completely uninteresting or even offensive towards the audience due to the culture clash and sometimes I even get shy because I feel my english is not as advanced as the others! we should help each other to improve our public speaking skill! hope it helps that you know that you're not alone in this. All the best! Sarah: is anyone having trouble with their topic and finding research for it?
Sam: almost done just need to figure out where to put citations
Sarah: i'm about halfway done with mine. i have to elaborate on my main points lol
Nam: I am doing fine
Sam: yeah I did have some trouble with that xD
Sam: researching was kind of a pain since there's so much info to read
Sarah: yeah it's hard to narrow down the good sources
Nam: yea just make sure you don't take infor from wikipedia lol
Sam: yeah she will kill us all D:
Sam: o wait i need to find the sources credibility -____-

hey everyone,
If any of you guys have already finished the quiz do you think i could borrow a book from you on Monday to do mine? my book has not arrived yet and im unable to do the quiz.
Re: help please by A.S. Sunday, 30 September 2012, 7:40 AM
Do you live close to De Anza? If you do, they have the book in the library there, you just have to stay within the confines the library to use it. However, if you happen to live closer to San Jose, I live near Oakridge Mall, and I could lend it to you. If you'd like, we could even study together. I hope this helps! (:
Re: help please by B.L. - Sunday, 30 September 2012, 2:20 PM
my book also has not arrived yet....however, I did go to the De Anza library and took pictures of chapter 1. i can send them to you if you would like. email me at email@example.com if you would want them sent to your email. i hope this helps S.N. : I am afraid that people would be hard to understand my pronounciation. I am nervous that I would start to stammer and mess up the whole speech. I'm afraid that my lack of understanding American culture would cause miscommunication between audience and me. I want to give a speech like "native English speaker" (although the definition is vague) that no one would be bothered by my speech style. It is amazing to see how far you have come from day one. You should be very proud of the milestones achieved. I know I am and please know I am here to help in any way I can. Q3 needed elaboration with specific examples. BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND THAT IT IS WORTHWHILE.
This was an amazing speech and YOU ROCK!!! [emoticon clapping] Keep coming to see me to practice or just talk :) Extending the community of care beyond the classroom via student driven, enagaging and sutainable technology...that does not consume your life A plea for help by A.S. - Tuesday, 4 December 2012, 02:17 AM
Is there anyone who drives to De Anza that lives in the south of San Jose? I ask because I am rather desperate for a ride. I have managed to injure my ankle in a way that makes it rather impossible to walk anywhere, and taking the bus will quite likely make it worse. I will totally buy gas (and even coffee!). Please message me on catalyst or even facebook. Thank you - I'll owe you one!

WASHINGTON (AP) - An ambitious attempt to cut Medicare costs has proved disappointing.
The government-funded study tried to keep aging, sick Medicare patients out of the hospital.
Most of the patients had serious, but common, age-related illnesses including diabetes, heart disease and lung disease. Programs were set up at 15 centers around the country with more than 18,000 patients enrolled. About half of those patients got coordinated care, which often involved nurses who acted as go-betweens.
Only two of the programs cut the number of times these patients were hospitalized. None saved Medicare any money.
The disappointing results show how tough it is to manage older patients with chronic diseases. They also point up the challenges the Obama administration will face in trying to reform health care for an aging nation.
The study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
