In working with young children I use play therapy primarily. My treatment modalities include individual and group counseling in order to assist the children with practcing the skills learned in a social setting. My focus with younger children include self- control and appropriate expression of frustration. In addition, I focus on social skills and adjustment concerns. Lastly, I work closely with parents on positive behavior supports and assistance with behavioral interventions.
Elisha's counseling approach is client-centered which means she compassionately listens to clients and assists them in developing their goals. Elisha's approach is based on exploring cognitive behavioral strategies, reality theory and is solution-focused. Psychotherapy is a process which enhances personal strengths and empowerment to reach personal goals. Counseling issues can be either mental health disorders or personal growth issues. Her specialty is Children, Adolescents, Women Issues, Couples, Marriage and Family Counseling. Elisha also works with individual issues including depression, grief and loss, anxiety and life transitions.
Children are very special people! I have worked for 23 years helping children to live a more satisfying life. Outside my office I've raised two into teen and adulthood. I've taught kids at my church for years, and I also am a Licensed School Counselor. Just 3 weeks ago I took on a 11-12 year old and we've already pushed through the most difficult part of treatment! Kids like the relaxed environment and the fact that I spell things out for them so they understand what we are trying to accomplish. I'd love to help your children work through the issues that keep them from achieving their goals. Give me a call and we'll start in a couple days!!!
On occasion, I do see young children of clients that I counsel. These sessions are usually with the parent or parents present. This is when I have them draw a picture of their house and tell where their room is. If a child is upset about something happening in his/her life, they may act out in anger. Allowing the child or children to express their feelings without penalty is important. However, if it is a deeper problem that cannot be fixed within a few sessions, I refer them to someone who specializes in young children.
All people are spiritual. Spirituality is different for all of us, but it is the common or central starting point for all of us when we face the tougher side of life. It is no different for children. Children are also very spiritual. Through their interesting viewpoints and their endless questions spark us to struggle, search and even connect. Children are profoundly spiritual and we need to listen to them. In their own way children often grasp things much faster and precisely than adults do and can give us much comfort and care. In working with children my approach is to explore their understanding of grief and spirituality. The spiritual markers on grief's journeys, "typical" expression....
Children often express their experiences and feelings through play, and this becomes an important tool for learning about themselves and others. Children often express and resolve inner conflicts through their play. The therapist helps the child to express and understand the world through play activities - sometimes acting out conflicts and feelings, then interpreting (as appropriate to age) how a similar issue or feeling is present in the child's life.
Great Lakes Psychology Group offers counseling to children and their parents for a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and academic problems. And while children can and do benefit from counseling, they are not equipped in the same way as adults to talk, reflect, and problem-solve as they often lack the insight, awareness, and vocabularies necessary to take full advantage of psychotherapy. Therapists have at their disposal a host of methods developed to meet the unique counseling needs of children, perhaps foremost among them being play therapy. Play therapy is used because it reaches all kinds of children despite their differences.
Children often times need to express their feelings through a concrete methodology, so that they can release what is going on inside of them. Through play therapy, a child can address the many emotions and help identify them, so that the release of negative emotions do not cause them undo stress. Parents are wise to address the issues early on, so that the child can function as their true self. My guidance, through the process of child therapy, can help parents become skilled in communicating with their young child, so that attachment to parents has a solid foundation.
Young children are exuberant and filled with many talents and aspirations! However, they may experience situations and issues that may lessen their vitality and resilience. Epiphanye Counseling Services (ECS)'focus is on helping children thrive and rebound to a healthy state of being; whether it is to cultivate a child's positive development or to help them cope or survive a difficult time in their life. My approach to counseling children/youth is by creating a safe and trusting place and employing interventions and activities, such as play therapy, art therapy, behavioral and cognitive-behavioral that will engage and help improve their circumstances.
My approach to counseling with children is to work collaboratively with the parents. counseling with children is part of a family systems approach. Children do not develop struggles in a vacuum so working with the parents and the rest of the family as needed is of added benefit to the child in therapy, regardless of the age of the minor child involved. Therapy may be weekly or every other week, as needed and determined when we develop the treatment plan.

Welcome to the surface
Tasks and aims
Traceable measuring techniques for dimensional variables of surfaces are the basis for an accompanying quality assurance in research, development and production. In particular for the field of nano-technology there is an additional strong linkage between dimensional and other physical and chemical properties.
The group Surface Metrology regards it as its goal to develop and to improve measurement devices and instruments for the measurement of small structures on surfaces in the fields of micro system technique, nano-technology and the surface measuring techniques (roughness -, hardness - and layer thickness, etc.) in order to reach smaller uncertainties surely. This includes the development and calibration of standards for the dissemination of dimensional properties to DAkkS and industry too.
The group is involved in the Avogadro project as well as in several national and international projects.

Uncertain Destiny
The Changing Role of Archaeology
in Historic Preservation
Archaeology is fundamentally different from other professions within historic preservation. The difference is essentially one of orientation. Historic preservation is concerned with the future of old buildings, neighborhoods, and landscapes—managing change—whereas archaeology is primarily interested in recovering and interpreting human behavior of the past. A historic preservationist looks at the main street of small-town America as a prime candidate for architectural rehabilitation and commercial revitalization, easements, architectural review boards, zoning regulations, and design guidelines, but the archaeologist is most interested in the town's backyards where the sheet middens, privies, and trash pits are a veritable gold mine of information about the community's history. Historic preservation exists on the rehabilitation and restoration of past places and landscapes, whereas American archaeology thrives on destruction of the past through excavation, analysis, and interpretation.
Archaeology is perhaps best understood as modern-day alchemy: turning base materials—soil and stone, bone and ceramic—into the gold of archaeological observation and interpretation. This analogy also captures the experimental and destructive nature of archaeology as a method of scientific inquiry about the past. Each excavation is an experiment in recovering past activities, one that, unlike the pure sciences, is not replicable. It is a truism that archaeology is an inherently destructive process, which justifies the profession's concern for record keeping. This fact alone distinguishes the archaeology from the rest of the preservation field. The archaeologist, unlike the historian, architectural historian, or other preservation professional, destroys nonrenewable resources to advance our understanding of the past.
For a true believer, it all begins with a reverence for the practitioner's medium: the archaeological record. Most archaeologists have a firm belief that

- Director: Katja von Garnier
- Genre(s): Drama, Music

Autoplay: On | Off
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 16
Mixed: 3 out of 16
Negative: 5 out of 16
Unruly girls around the world are liable to find these Bandits stealing their hearts.
Equal parts big-house B-feature, hammer-down road movie, post-feminist consciousness-raiser and rock & roll pipe dream.
(Katja von Garnier's) talent makes this original film exciting and moving, a raucous ride.
For film buffs who want to see what's hot in Germany, Bandits is probably worth the price of a ticket. Those looking for action, drama, or rock 'n' roll may find the mix less than satisfying.
Basically a feature-length rock video from Germany with appealing performers, decently written characters, a killer score, and an interesting premise.
A confused mess of music video montages drowns out the rest of the action, depicting the foursome in a variety of sexy romps that clash with the plot.
Dim and eye-rollingly foolish -- Call it Dumb, Dumber, Dumber Still, and Dumbest.

Furors over domestic violence and concussion risks have made U.S. football and boss Roger Goodell vulnerable. An unconventional idea for a replacement is Facebook's No. 2. Sandberg would bring the female presence the league needs. She, too, might have something to gain.
Sandberg does neither herself nor women any favors
Becoming the first female director at a prominent company like Facebook should be good for all. But joining a rubber-stamp board the CEO treats haughtily won't help Sheryl Sandberg's sterling reputation. Women should fight for representation where they can make a real difference.
Obama may find an exceptional friend in Facebook
The social network's No. 2, Sheryl Sandberg, should be on the short list for a top economic job in a second Obama term. But she'd give up some $130 mln in unvested equity to leave. Current boss Mark Zuckerberg's largess could bridge the gap. But it may cost Facebook shareholders.
Review: Bending over backwards to lean in
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg has stirred a debate with her advice book for professional women. Interpretations vary, but essentially "Lean In" posits that they need to be more ambitious and men more accommodating. Maybe the discussion alone will help toward that goal.
Time for Sheryl Sandberg to lean out of Facebook
She was the adult supervisor as Mark Zuckerberg's dorm room creation became a $165 bln enterprise. The founder is now doing his own thing, as his latest $2 bln gadget acquisition shows. For Sandberg, he's a liability. She could be U.S. president, but first needs to run something.

Are you tired of crowded ski slopes? Do you want to ski for months before the resorts open and after they close? Are you a bushwalker who would like to explore the mountains in winter? Are you a runner or skater who would like to try racing on snow?
If you want to make first tracks down that snow covered mountain that you can see from the lookout but could never reach, or glide or skate through the trees, or snowcamp for a weekend or a week in a winter wonderland, you should leave the ski lifts behind and embark on a Cross-Country skiing adventure.
Cross-Country skiing can be a leisurely tour on a track or in the backcountry, and it can an adrenaline-pumping, heart-pounding sport when citizen racing or descending a mountain by telemark or alpine techniques.
Canberra Cross Country Ski Club (CCCSC) can help.
More information on Cross-Country skiing can be found on this website and its links, and on WikiSki.com
Fees are $50 for a single membership and $65 for a household membership.
Download and print the 2015 Membership Form .
CCCSC brings members together for day, overnight and longer ski tours from May to November if snow conditions permit. International ski adventures – trips to New Zealand (2012) and the Indian Himalaya (2013) – have been run and will be planned. Click here to go to the Tours Page.

Ancient Papyrus Is a Soldier's Letter Home
Thursday, March 06, 2014
HOUSTON, TEXAS—Grant Adamson of Rice University has translated a papyrus discovered 100 years ago outside a temple in the Egyptian town of Tebtunis. Infrared images of the papyrus have made parts of the text, written mostly in Greek, more legible. It is a letter written 1,800 years ago by an Egyptian soldier named Aurelius Polion, who was serving in a Roman legion in Europe. He is desperate to hear from his family, and wants to make the long journey home to see his mother, sister, and brother. "I think that some aspects of military service belong to a common experience across ancient and modern civilizations—part of our human experience in general really. Things like worry and homesickness," Adamson told Live Science.

F.T. Island's Jonghoon snapped a warm moment between Hongki and maknae Minhwan.
On December 19th Jonghoon took to his Twitter and wrote, "Good Hongki & Minhwan. Cleaning his ears. :)". In the photo that was attached to the tweet, Minhwan and Hongki were dressed comfortably. Minhwan was resting his head against Hongki's lap while holding a cellphone, he was obviously at ease as he closed his eyes and let Hongki clean his ears. Hongki himself seemed focused on his work as well.
The photo caused fans to smile at the cuteness, and they commented, "Aw, Minhwan is being babied", "They look so close", and "It's hyung and baby brother".

Battling Nature (Part 3): Soldiers in the Field
Science and Aging
WebMD Feature
This is the last in a series on what scientific discoveries are revealing about the aging process and how the findings will change the way people age.
Though more than 30 years have passed since Dr. Howard Wechsler was discharged from the army, the 62-year-old San Franciscan isn't done fighting yet. These days, he's not fighting the type of war he fought in the jungles of Vietnam. Wechsler is fighting a different battle -- the battle to stay young, healthy and fit -- against time, the basic tenets of biology and the natural progression of life itself.
The fight isn't easy, health experts are saying. It requires an unwavering discipline and motivation to exercise regularly, eat right and maintain a positive attitude, elements crucial in holding back diseases of the enemy -- old age.
No Sweat, No Gain
Wechsler's tactic is to be on the offensive, making exercise one of his weapons of choice.
He works out three times a week, with each routine including 20 minutes on a cardiovascular machine and 40 minutes of weights and other muscle-strengthening exercises. With his trainer's help and good humor, Wechsler said that exercise has been rewarding, allowing him to stay active and travel and do as much as he'd like.
"My goal is fitness and the quality of life I'll achieve by being my fittest," the retired anesthesiologist said.
Wechsler is doing just the right thing because exercise is "one of the most important factors in reducing the effects of the aging process," said Miriam Nelson, director of the Center for Physical Fitness at Tufts University and author of the best-selling book Strong Women Stay Young.
Exercise offsets the body's natural tendency to gain body fat and lose muscle and bone mass, which starts at age 35. Without exercise, loss of muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness quickly follow, making any type of physical activity more difficult.
In addition to helping a person stay trim, regular exercise also reduces the risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity and depression, while improving self-confidence, sleep quality and self-esteem, said Nelson.
One of Nelson's studies was landmark, examining women age 50 to 70 who had always been sedentary. After one year of strength training twice a week, the women became 75 percent stronger. The women also lost fat and gained muscle and bone mass in their hips and spines.

Logistics specialist conquers blindness
July 26, 2011
By Ms Michelle Harlan (USASAC)
NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. - Diagnosis with an incurable eye disease 27 years ago hasn't stopped one employee from doing his job for 24 years. Enthusiasm to support his customers, along with the help of technology, co-workers and a devoted dog have contributed to a successful career.
In 1984 Kevin Turnbaugh was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, an eye disease in which there is damage to the retina. He was completely blind in 14 years.
Turnbaugh, a logistics management specialist for the Army Security Assistance Command's New Cumberland, Pa., office, said the satisfaction that comes from serving his country and the foreign military sales customer is what he likes about working at USASAC. Turnbaugh has been with USASAC for his entire government career. His job includes tracking the financial status and closure of CENTCOM region FMS cases, repair and return of items and non-standard item requirements.
"I truly feel that I am contributing to the mission of USASAC in what I do," he said.
Turnbaugh works on a computer equipped with Job Access with Speech, a software package designed to aid the visually impaired via text-to-speech capability. He also uses a scanner which transcribes documents that can be read to him through the computer.
"I also use email more than any other form of communication, so I can hear the information more than once if necessary and store the messages for future reference," he said.
One of the challenges Turnbaugh faces at work is when a program cannot be used through JAWS. Since 2000, all federal computer systems, websites and other automated systems must be compliant for access by the handicap as part of the Rehabilitation Act, section 508.
"Many of the systems are either older than 2000 or have been developed without the 508 requirement being considered," he said.
This creates a challenge for Turnbaugh when trying to complete tasks, but his co-workers are always willing to help out.
"I have a wonderful group of co-workers who never think it is a pain or bother if I ask for some kind of assistance in the daily duties," he said.
Co-workers describe Turnbaugh as enthusiastic and dedicated to his work.
"Kevin has an untiring energy and is a productive and effective member of the USASAC team," Deb Lebo, technical program specialist at New Cumberland, said.
"He never gives up," added Lori McCarthy, a central case manager at New Cumberland. "Several of the systems we use for everyday work don't 'talk' to his computer, so the other members of the team have to pitch in and get the info for him."
In addition to adapted computer software, scanners and help from co-workers, Turnbaugh has one more special tool to assist him at work: an 8-year-old English black Labrador retriever. Turnbaugh and his guide dog, Jodi, have been a team for close to seven years. Jodi, a trained seeing-eye dog, takes Turnbaugh anywhere he needs to go within the USASAC office and adjoining spaces such as the local credit union office or conference center. She patiently lies under his desk until Turnbaugh needs to leave.
"She is my sight, my mobility and my security for being able to perform various tasks, simple or difficult," he said.
Having a dog in the office might be considered a distraction to some, but Jodi is trained to seamlessly fit into the office environment and is strictly disciplined. This type of working dog is taught to ignore typical interruptions and only follow the commands of their handler.
"Interaction with Jodi is kept at a minimum so that she doesn't become distracted," Terrance Brightbill, CENTCOM branch chief at New Cumberland, said.
"Like Kevin, Jodi is dedicated and committed to her job of supporting Kevin. Unless they are maneuvering the halls of USASAC, no one would even know Jodi was in the office," Lebo said.
Despite Jodi's strict work ethic, Turnbaugh does give her breaks throughout the day. In particular during his lunch break, Turnbaugh and Jodi go for a walk from one end of the building to the other.
"It gives her the chance to do something other than just stay under my desk for most of the day, and gives me a break from the stresses and strains of the desk as well," Turnbaugh said. "Someone is always saying 'Hi' to Jodi on our walks, and then they remember to say 'Hi' to me too."
"Everybody likes Jodi. And they would probably like to make her the USASAC mascot."
In Turnbaugh's spare time he enjoys writing about historical events, biblical issues and current events. He has had two books published this year called "Time Witnessing" and "Critical Condition." He is working on a third book.
"Life is what you make it, with or without sight," Turnbaugh said. "I am not the only person who is, or has gone blind, and I look at it as a problem that one must deal with in life."

Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano made his Covent Garden debut in 1990. Now in his 12th year as Music Director, he has built up an impressive repertory with The Royal Opera, including the full The Ring Cycle, new productions of Les Troyens, Parsifal, Les Vêpres Siciliennes and Manon Lescaut, and two world premieres - Harrison Birtwistle's The Minotaur and Mark-Anthony Turnage's Anna Nicole.
'This house is not a pushover – not the audience, or the orchestra or the chorus', he says. 'You really have to earn your spurs!'
And he certainly has. This Season alone he has conducted four operas, including Verdi's I due Foscari, starring Plácido Domingo, and a new production of Andrea Chénier, starring Jonas Kaufmann.
'When Plácido walks into the room, he raises everybody elses's game, which is a fantastic gift', he says. 'By his sheer presence, everyone around him gets better.'
For the remainder of the 2014/15 Season, Pappano conducts new productions of Król Roger – his first collaboration with Director of Opera Kasper Holten – and Guillaume Tell. He will also conduct the first in a new series of annual concert performances, which are designed to celebrate his work with the Orchestra.
'You have to stick your nose into all corners of the repertory to keep an eye on the orchestra and its development', he says. 'We have to jump from Puccini to Wagner to Mozart, from Rigoletto to Anna Nicole. I think I change with every piece, and orchestra has to as well - we start again each time, but with a backlog of experience and a theatrical trust. We can count on each other!'
The Music Director is renowned as one of the world's best conductors of Puccini.
'Puccini was a very fastidious, refined man; a snappy dresser who loved women and sports cars', he says. 'There's natural sophistication in his music, even though he's manipulating you from note one. La bohème, for example, can only be conducted by someone who has a deep knowledge of the opera and knows the ins and outs, because otherwise it's treacherous.'
For more on the operatic language, commissioning new work and learning to conduct – and what he's looking forward to in the 2015/16 Season – watch highlights from the In Conversation event.
Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House perform in concert on 4 May 2015. Tickets are still available.
Król Roger runs from 1 to 19 May 2015. Tickets are still available.
Guillaume Tell runs from 29 June to 17 July 2015. General Booking opens on 31 March 2015.]]>
Antonio Pappano was one of 13 London-based musicians honoured at the inaugural London Music Awards last night.
The awards, which took place at the Roundhouse in Camden, celebrate the eclectic music scene in London, recognising the talent of those who help to ensure London's status as one of the world's greatest musical cities.
Antonio Pappano – who was appointed Music Director of The Royal Opera in 2002 – was presented with the Exceptional Contribution to Music Award.
Others winners include Andrew Lloyd Webber, who received the Individual Philanthropy award, and Jazzie B, who was named London Legend.
The award ceremony, which was hosted by London Mayor Boris Johnson, supported the Mayor's Music Fund, a charity that nurtures and develops musical talent across the city.
Antonio can be seen at the Royal Opera House later this month conducting Puccini's Manon Lescaut and Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos.]]>
The DVD release of La traviata has been nominated for a Grammy in the Best Recorded Opera category. The Opus Arte release features Antonio Pappano, Joseph Calleja, Renée Fleming and Thomas Hampson as well as the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus.
Other nominations in the category include Glyndebourne's Billy Budd (Also released via Opus Arte), The Metropolitan Opera's Doctor Atomic, Europa Galante's Ercole su'l Termodonte and the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra's Kaivos.
Conductor Antonio Pappano has been nominated in three categories overall. The Royal Opera House Music Director has also been nominated for his recording of Rachmaninov's Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 4 with London Symphony Orchestra (Best Engineered Album and Best Classical Instrumental Solo).
The 54th Grammy awards will be held on 12 February 2012.]]>

At the close:
Soybeans continue to drop double digits, closing barely above $10.00.
The Dec. corn futures are trading 5 1/2 cents lower at $3.46 1/2.
Nov. soybean futures are trading 16 3/4 cents lower at $10.03 1/4.
Dec. wheat futures are 5 1/2 cents lower at $5.30 1/4.
Good morning! Filling in for Mike on this beautiful Iowa morning!
My apologies.. I realized my prices were correct in the story, but not in Marketing Talk. All fixed!
At mid-session:
The Dec. corn futures are trading 6 1/4 cents lower at $3.45 3/4.
Nov. soybean futures are trading 13 3/4 cents lower at $10.06 3/4.
Dec. wheat futures are 3 1/2 cents lower at $5.32 1/4.
In the outside markets, the crude oil dropped $.99 per barrel higher to $94.55, the dollar is higher, and the Dow Jones Industrials are up 48.07 points to 17126.35. Dow and S&P are surmounting records after US data & ECB move this morning.
At the open:
The December corn futures are trading 3/4 cent lower at $3.51 1/4.
November soybean futures are trading 5 1/4 cents lower at $10.14 3/4.
December wheat futures are 4 1/4 cents lower at $5.31 1/2.
In the outside markets, the crude oil dropped $1.21 per barrel higher to $94.33, the dollar is higher, and the Dow Jones Industrials are higher.
At 7:31
Early calls: Corn is looking 0-2 cents lower, soybeans 2-4 cents lower, and wheat 2-4 cents lower.
Overnight grain, soybean markets = Trading lower.
Crude Oil = $.42 per barrel higher to $95.12.
Dollar = Higher
Wall Street = Seen higher.
World Markets = Europe stocks were higher, Asia/Pacific stocks were mostly lower.
Pete Meyer, Senior Director of PIRA Energy Group, says he doesn't trust either yesterday's action or today's.
"That's not to say that I'm bullish by any stretch of the imagination but rather had these sell-offs occurred a month from now, during the heart of harvest, it would make much more sense. While some headline grabbers continue to press their yields higher based on improving weekly conditions, we've also seen reductions from some analysts that make sense. After being on my 8th Pro Farmer Crop Tour a few weeks back, I'm just below 170 bpa as a national yield for corn and just above 46 bpa in soybeans. Some of these numbers that are being bantered around are impossible to get to in my opinion."

Opening arguments are expected to begin Wednesday in Texas in the trial of Eddie Ray Routh, the man charged with killing Chris Kyle, the former Navy Seal depicted in the Oscar-nominated film "American Sniper." Due to the popularity of the movie, based on Mr. Kyle's memoir, it had been difficult to find jurors who didn't know the sniper's story.
Eddie Ray Routh is charged with capital murder for allegedly shooting Mr. Kyle and his friend, Chad Littlefield, at a gun range in 2013.
Mr. Routh's attorneys plan to pursue an insanity defense. Prosecutors aren't seeking the death penalty. The jury is comprised of ten women, and two men.

However, they more than made up for that with most of the original cast and the writers as well. The result is a show that might not have the best animation, but still boasted spectacular imagery and believably non-human aliens that the original show could never depict, while still reasonably keeping to its artistic spirit. As a result, this series is the best example of the AnimatedAdaptation concept in UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation that was so good that it won the franchise's first ever Emmy Award.''The Animated Series'' remains the shortest-lived series of the ''Trek'' franchise, with just 22 episodes airing over a 13-month period in 1973-74 on Creator/{{NBC}}. It was also the last ''Trek'' series to air in first-run on network television until ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' debuted in 1995 on Creator/{{UPN}}.However, the franchise creator, Creator/GeneRoddenberry, later insisted that the animated show be kept out of continuity since he never anticipated that ''Star Trek'' would later be revived in live action on such a scale as would happen. Still, many fans insisted that at least the best episode, "Yesteryear", be counted, considering that it gives a valuable look into Spock's youth and character as well as the planet Vulcan as told by the most authoritative voice on the matter, D.C. Fontana. Because of the information about Vulcan presented in the show, the introducing of the Holodeck, giving Kirk his middle name, and the fact that many of the ''Star Trek'' writers and actors were involved with the show, many fans consider it a part of their personal ''Star Trek'' {{canon}} of it depicting the final two years of ''Enterprise's'' five year mission. In addition, the producers of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' used numerous references from this series. The ExpandedUniverse, already having less of a need to adhere to strict canon, even went so far as to revive the series' SixthRanger alien crew members, CatGirl Lt. M'Ress and [[MultiArmedAndDangerous tri-symmetrical Lt. Arex]].Creator/{{CBS}} declared this series full canon around the time they released it on DVD.The title used here and on the DVD release is a back-formation, as the show originally aired as simply ''Star Trek''. It's also known by the more ponderous title of ''[[LongTitle The Animated Adventures of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek]]''.----!!This series provides examples of:* AbsenteeActor: Everyone ''except'' Spock, Sulu, and Uhura in "The Slaver Weapon". Chekov is absent the whole series.* AIIsACrapShoot: The planetary computer in "Once Upon A Planet".

Interestingly, ''after'' getting the job, the idea apparently did surface at pre-production meetings... but it was quickly (and rightly) kyboshed by Roddenberry. Regardless, Filmation didn't let the concept of "funny sidekicks in space" go to waste and created the live-action series ''SpaceAcademy'' a few years later.----

Wagoner: Rams' Kick Return Duties Up For Grabs
Rams' kick return duties up for grabs
June, 18, 2014
By Nick Wagoner | ESPN.com
EARTH CITY, Mo. -- With no obvious solution in place last season, the St. Louis Rams turned their kick returner job over to rookie Tavon Austin in week 6 against Houston.
To that point, the Rams had used the likes of running backs Benny Cunningham and Isaiah Pead in the role with solid, if unspectacular results. Cunningham seemingly had claimed the job as his own, but when he suffered an ankle injury against the Texans, it cost him two weeks and, until an injury to Austin, his return duties.
But the Rams didn't necessarily intend for Austin to handle anything beyond his role in the offense and the punt returning job. They put him at kick returner as a matter of necessity, a move they apparently intend to course correct this year, according to special teams coach John Fassel.
Yeah, I think weve got great candidates that can do it that can maybe take a couple reps off him per game from a kickoff return standpoint, Fassel said.
Based on that response, it sounds as though Austin could still do some kick returning, but the Rams would like to pick their spots when to put him in there.
In reality, the job of a kick returner doesn't come with the opportunity that it once did. While it's hard to argue against any scenario in which Austin gets his hands on the ball, kick returns didn't provide many chances for him.
As the primary kick returner for the seven games after Cunningham's ankle issue, Austin found himself watching the ball sail out of the back of the end zone or kneeling 8 yards deep into it on most kickoffs. He finished with just 18 returns for 398 yards, an average of 22.11 per attempt with a long of 32 yards.
When Austin suffered a late-season ankle injury against Arizona, Cunningham reclaimed the job and fared just as well. Cunningham averaged 23 yards on his 13 attempts. And, believe it or not, Pead actually performed the best of the three, though on a smaller sample size, with an average of 27.60 yards on only five attempts.
For those keeping score, that adds up to 36 kick return attempts for the season. Rams opponents booted 39 touchbacks. Factoring in a couple of squib kicks, Rams' opponents had a touchback rate of exactly 50 percent in 2013.
Considering the lack of opportunity the job provides, it makes sense for the Rams to seek a more consistent alternative and choose their spots with Austin as his role in the offense expands. Quietly, the team added a few more options in the offseason, including rookie cornerback Greg Reid and running back Tre Mason.
In Tuesday's organized team activity, the Rams took a look at many of their kick returner applicants, a vetting process that will extend well into the preseason. After all, you can't tell much of anything about a kick returner until an actual game.
"I think Pead back there give us some great burst and ball-handler, (receiver Chris) Givens, (receiver Justin) Veltung, Reid, a couple young guys that you can throw into the mix," Fassel said. "Mason did it at Auburn. So everybody will get a couple cracks at it. Im very optimistic about our kickoff returner, whoever that might be.

Re: Wagoner: Rams' Kick Return Duties Up For Grabs
Of all the positions on the team, I think KR is unique in that the good ones, or naturals, have the "IT" factor. I do not think Pead, (regardless of any improvement), Veltung, Givens, or Pettis do, (although Pettis definately has the onions - man he took some hits!).
Mason, I don't know about. Tavon DOES have the it factor, bit I guess they do not want to overload him.
I'm hoping Reid, Spenser or Watts takes the role - they've all got the speed, burst and "cutability".

Re: Wagoner: Rams' Kick Return Duties Up For Grabs
I think that if there was a primary reason Greg Reid was signed, it was to be a special teams ace. We know he's fast, and we know he's not afraid to bring the ball out. Let's see what he can do.

Re: Wagoner: Rams' Kick Return Duties Up For Grabs
I think if we're truly going to have Tavon be a focal point of our offense, we need to keep him out of the special teams duties. There are plenty of fast, shifty guys we can put back there to take a hit.

North Carolina's Anson County School District has deployed Scientific Learning's Fast ForWord To Reading Series reading intervention software as part of its program to increase literacy among students who are at risk readers.
The district will use the software in three county schools to instruct students in grades 3 and above. Ultimately the school will use the system in all of its 11 schools by the end of the month.
"We need to leverage an effective tool, be time efficient, encourage a team approach to learning and implement excellent training to succeed in our efforts to get children to read in Anson County," said Greg Firn, superintendent of schools, Anson County, in a prepared statement
Fast ForWord is designed to leverage neuroscience principles in order to increase student literacy by helping their brain more efficiently process information. The system uses exercises to boost how a student's brain supports learning and intellectual activities such as memory, attention, processing rate, and sequencing. The exercises adapt to each student's abilities.
In related news, the Children's hospital of Boston published a study in the journal Restorative Neurology recently that said children with dyslexia encounter reading difficulties because their brains cannot process fast-changing sounds. The study also said that using FastFoWord can help dyslexic children's processing program and improve their reading.
"The repetitive exercises appeared to rewire the dyslexic children's brains: After eight weeks of daily sessions--about 60 hours total--their brains responded more like typical readers' when processing fast-changing sounds, and their reading improved," reported Children's Hospital of Boston.
