I have a new article in Film International on the utterly bizarre 1950s children's television show Andy's Gang.
As I write, in part, "let us now consider Andy's Gang, a horrific children's television show from the 1950s. For those who live outside the United States, and didn't grow up during the Cold War, this series may be absolutely unknown, and if this is the case, you can be thankful. For Andy's Gang is the most twisted, most willfully odd and perverse television show imaginable, no matter what age group it's aimed at. As one viewer put it, 'the show reminds me of something David Lynch would come up with,' but actually, that's selling the show short. This one is truly off the charts, existing in a hermetically sealed land all its own, a phantom zone of non-performance and non-participation which is staggering in its dimensions and implications.
That's quite a claim, but if I had to compare Andy's Gang to anything else that comes under the heading of a moving image construct, I'd be almost instantly reaching for the horror films Castle of the Living Dead (1964), The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (1967), or Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon (1973, a.k.a. The Mansion of Madness). For here is a television show, ostensibly aimed at children, in which the host never met – not even once – any of the members of his supposed audience, or was even in the same room with them, or even the same year – and which is comprised of such serial repetition of actual footage, as well as ceaselessly repeating its own internal structure, that it almost defies description. Indeed, as I'll show later, there are virtually web support groups for aging baby boomers who seem to have been traumatized by the show as children, more than 53 years after the final episode of the series aired.
Saturday morning television in the United States in the 1950s belonged exclusively to children; this was a holdover from the tradition of Saturday morning shows in movie theaters in the 1920s through the early 1950s, when boys and girls would rush down to the local theater to see a double bill of two genre films, usually a western and/or a science-fiction or horror film, plus some cartoons, a chapter of a serial or 'cliffhanger,' some trailers, travelogues, shorts, and other assorted screen fare. When television took hold in the mid 1950s, it spelled the death of these morning screenings – serials, for example, ceased production entirely in 1956 as a direct result of competition from television – and television did its best to slavishly copy the model the movie theaters had followed so successfully.
So, on Saturday morning network television, you could forget about anything aimed at an adult audience; instead, one got a nonstop diet of such series as Kukla, Fran And Ollie, Howdy Doody, Flash Gordon, Lassie, Annie Oakley, Ding Dong School, The Paul Winchell Show, The Roy Rogers Show, Captain Z-RO, The Rootie Kazootie Club, Winky Dink And You, Super Circus, The Cisco Kid, Sky King, Captain Midnight, Rocky Jones, Space Ranger, The Pinky Lee Show, Sheena, Queen Of The Jungle and many more.
Each of these shows had their own peculiarities; Howdy Doody was a live puppet show, with a real live 'Peanut Gallery' where kids would scream and holler as the show progressed – in short, genuine audience interaction; Flash Gordon, starring Steve Holland, was filmed in West Berlin in converted beer halls on a miniscule budget; Winky Dink and You encouraged kids to actually draw on the picture tubes of their television sets with crayons to trace this week's mystery clue – one was supposed to place a special "magic screen," actually thin plastic film, over the screen before marking it up, but many kids, enthralled by the suspense, simply forgot this part of the process – and so on.
But Andy's Gang was a breed apart. One thing above all set it apart from its competitors; all of the shows listed above were fiction, and presented themselves as fiction, and the audience – except perhaps for the very young viewers – recognized this. But Andy's Gang was fiction masquerading as reality. None of it was real; the whole series was a fictive construct. But it didn't start out that way; it took the death of the original host, and a canny television producer/director possessed of a peculiar vision to make this particular Twilight Zone of fantasy/reality."

May 6, 2016
A woman who has spent 23 years on North Carolina's death row for the beating death of her husband has been sentenced to life in prison.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a judge in Wilson made the decision Thursday involving 70-year-old Patricia Jennings.
She had been sentenced to die in 1990 for the beating death of her 80-year-old husband, Bill Jennings.
Superior Court Judge Wayland Sermons ruled that Jennings had received poor legal counsel at the time of her trial. Her attorneys failed to ask that jurors consider she had no significant criminal history.
Jennings' attorneys agreed to drop a separate claim that the State Bureau of Investigation concealed favorable lab results and used false and unreliable evidence to get her conviction and death sentence.

Diane Kruger and her handsome man, Joshua Jackson, attended the 2013 Met Gala at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
While he hit a prepster note, our fashion-girl found her inner punk-party gal with a Chanel Spring 2013 Couture dress.
The luxed-up, black lacy frock featured a sheer, gauzy overlay, which gave it a vampy vibe.
On Monday night, we also saw 'Vogue' editrix and gala co-chair Anna Wintour, along with Bella Heathcote, in looks from this Karl Lagerfeld Spring 2013 couture collection. But Diane's exit was the most dark and gothic of the three.
She accessorized with Jacob & Co. chunky chain bangles and a clutch that was truly spiked and dangerous.
Her dip-dyed blonde strands sported a bubble-gum pink shade, which added some unorthodox—and fun—edge to her low, knotted-up ponytail.
All in all, the look was simultaneously glamorous and subversive… we should have expected as much from Diane.

Styling Tip
Step 1: Distribute a dollop of mousse onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections with a round brush while turning the brush several times to add subtle roundness to the length.
Step 2: Spritz a two-inch section with styling spray and, starting a few inches away from scalp, loosely wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold for a few seconds and then release and repeat, alternating directions until all hair is wavy.
Step 3: Run your fingers through your hair to break up the sections. Mist with hairspray for all-day hold.

How to Care for your Model Ships
Ship models are very delicate. While model ships take hundreds of meticulous hours to create, it only takes one irresponsible second to destroy. That is why it is important to take the proper steps to insure the safety of your model ship. You must make sure that your model ship is properly cared for from the moment it begins its delivery to you, to the time that it sits proud in your collection. There are numerous ways to do so, from proper shipping to regular maintenance to using display cases. This article will inform you the right ways and options for each, so that proper safety precautions can be taken to keep your model ship secure.
Safely Shipping your Model Ships
When ordering from handcraftedmodelships.com you are assured safe packaging and shipment. This is due to the fact that all of their tall models are tied down and surrounded by a wooden crate to hold the models securely in place. All other models are packaged tightly with Styrofoam on each side and double boxed. Hand Crafted Model Ships tests their shipping methods to ensure that your models will hold up in even the roughest travelling conditions.
Caring for your Model Ships
Taking regular care of your model ships is a must. Models will collect dust, dander, smoke, and other harmful airborne effects. In order to keep your model ship looking brand new you should know how to clean it properly without damaging it. The best way to do this is with a keyboard duster. Keyboard dusters shoot out compressed air that gets rid of dust in hard to reach places. These dusters can be found in local stores such as Wal-Mart. Also, cotton swabs are great for cleaning areas of tough dirt and grime that the duster can not remove. You should invest in cotton swabs of various length for this reason. You can use a mixture of soap and water to clean the tougher stains off, and also a bit of alcohol can help rid your model of stubborn spots. Remember to take care when cleaning as you do not want to accidentally do harm to your model.
Display Cases for Model Ships
One of the most important steps to maintaining your model ships is by keeping it encased in a display case. At Hand Crafted Model Ships you can find many different sized display cases. These cases are essential to keeping dirt and other harmful things away from your prized possessions. The display cases at Hand Crafted Model Ships usually cost $199, but if you order your display case with the purchase of a model then you can receive a $100 discount!
By following these simple tips you should be able to keep good care of your model ships so that they will last for generations. You have spent way too much time, effort, and money on your model ships to see them deteriorate with time and carelessness. Make sure that you properly maintain each and every ship model in your collection so that you won't regret it later!

Basel, Switzerland (Sports Network) - Former top-five star Nikolay
Davydenko upset fourth-seeded Swiss favorite Stanislas Wawrinka in a pair of

In case you haven't heard, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving fall on the same day this year. It's a big deal because the holidays last converged in the 1880′s and it won't happen again for thousands of years. Reason to celebrate Thanksgivukkah, for sure!
For some, the idea of frying latkes while preparing a Thanksgiving feast isn't an intimidating thought. For most of us mortals, however, the thought of standing and frying at the stove isn't a welcome notion. (And for mortals like myself, frying but once a year is enough!) There is a solution to the frying "issue." Continue reading

Seriously though, strengthen your will power. Give yourself permission to browse in curiosity on one specific day of the week. If you come across an interesting link or video on any other day, add the link to a bookmarks folder labeled for that week and get back to work. Then, on your preordained Browsing Day, you can open up that folder and explore to your heart's content. Eventually you'll realize that most of the links you've bookmarked are dreadfully uninteresting. You'll begin to hear a tiny, albeit incessant, voice in your head whenever you're about to bookmark something not worth the time to bookmark.

New Face of Foreclosure: Strategic Defaults
Attitudes toward mortgage default are shifting in America.

Now that we have the 08 wide and the 06 lenses it puts a little different perspective on this camera. The IQ is very good on both of these, as it is with the 01 prime. This shows (once again) the strength of an ILC, and the camera covers the whole range with nice IQ. These give it an advantage over most of the cameras mentioned as comparisons in the review, and over all of them (and any other smallish ILCs I can think of) in the wide area.
So while the compared cameras may have looked better at the time of the review, over time the Q reveals itself to be a system which keeps getting better.
BTW, DPR, could you please re-do the Studio Scenes with the 01 lens? It (as well as the 06 and 08) are SO much better in IQ than the 02 zoom (especially considering the level of detail people will look at with the studio shots)!

The Commission, in accordance with this section, shall assess and collect regulatory fees to recover the costs of the following regulatory activities of the Commission: enforcement activities, policy and rulemaking activities, user information services, and international activities.
(b) Establishment and adjustment of regulatory fees
(1) In general
The fees assessed under subsection (a) of this section shall—
(A) be derived by determining the full-time equivalent number of employees performing the activities described in subsection (a) of this section within the Private Radio Bureau, Mass Media Bureau, Common Carrier Bureau, and other offices of the Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission's activities, including such factors as service area coverage, shared use versus exclusive use, and other factors that the Commission determines are necessary in the public interest;
(B) be established at amounts that will result in collection, during each fiscal year, of an amount that can reasonably be expected to equal the amount appropriated for such fiscal year for the performance of the activities described in subsection (a) of this section; and
(2) Mandatory adjustment of schedule
For any fiscal year after fiscal year 1994, the Commission shall, by rule, revise the Schedule of Regulatory Fees by proportionate increases or decreases to reflect, in accordance with paragraph (1)(B), changes in the amount appropriated for the performance of the activities described in subsection (a) of this section for such fiscal year. Such proportionate increases or decreases shall—
(A) be adjusted to reflect, within the overall amounts described in appropriations Acts under the authority of paragraph (1)(A), unexpected increases or decreases in the number of licensees or units subject to payment of such fees; and
(B) be established at amounts that will result in collection of an aggregate amount of fees pursuant to this section that can reasonably be expected to equal the aggregate amount of fees that are required to be collected by appropriations Acts pursuant to paragraph (1)(B).
Increases or decreases in fees made by adjustments pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to judicial review. In making adjustments pursuant to this paragraph the Commission may round such fees to the nearest $5 in the case of fees under $1,000, or to the nearest $25 in the case of fees of $1,000 or more.
(3) Permitted amendments
In addition to the adjustments required by paragraph (2), the Commission shall, by regulation, amend the Schedule of Regulatory Fees if the Commission determines that the Schedule requires amendment to comply with the requirements of paragraph (1)(A). In making such amendments, the Commission shall add, delete, or reclassify services in the Schedule to reflect additions, deletions, or changes in the nature of its services as a consequence of Commission rulemaking proceedings or changes in law. Increases or decreases in fees made by amendments pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to judicial review.
(4) Notice to Congress
The Commission shall—
(A) transmit to the Congress notification of any adjustment made pursuant to paragraph (2) immediately upon the adoption of such adjustment; and
(c) Enforcement
(1) Penalties for late payment
The Commission shall prescribe by regulation an additional charge which shall be assessed as a penalty for late payment of fees required by subsection (a) of this section. Such penalty shall be 25 percent of the amount of the fee which was not paid in a timely manner.
(2) Dismissal of applications for filings
The Commission may dismiss any application or other filing for failure to pay in a timely manner any fee or penalty under this section.
(3) Revocations
In addition to or in lieu of the penalties and dismissals authorized by paragraphs (1) and (2), the Commission may revoke any instrument of authorization held by any entity that has failed to make payment of a regulatory fee assessed pursuant to this section. Such revocation action may be taken by the Commission after notice of the Commission's intent to take such action is sent to the licensee by registered mail, return receipt requested, at the licensee's last known address. The notice will provide the licensee at least 30 days to either pay the fee or show cause why the fee does not apply to the licensee or should otherwise be waived or payment deferred. A hearing is not required under this subsection unless the licensee's response presents a substantial and material question of fact. In any case where a hearing is conducted pursuant to this section, the hearing shall be based on written evidence only, and the burden of proceeding with the introduction of evidence and the burden of proof shall be on the licensee. Unless the licensee substantially prevails in the hearing, the Commission may assess the licensee for the costs of such hearing. Any Commission order adopted pursuant to this subsection shall determine the amount due, if any, and provide the licensee with at least 30 days to pay that amount or have its authorization revoked. No order of revocation under this subsection shall become final until the licensee has exhausted its right to judicial review of such order under section 402 (b)(5) of this title.
(d) Waiver, reduction, and deferment
The Commission may waive, reduce, or defer payment of a fee in any specific instance for good cause shown, where such action would promote the public interest.
(e) Deposit of collections
Moneys received from fees established under this section shall be deposited as an offsetting collection in, and credited to, the account providing appropriations to carry out the functions of the Commission.

HAYLEY EBER: Our overall project
for the semester is
we're looking at pavilions in
the history of architecture as
canonical archetypes.
This particular project that
we just reviewed was an
analysis of the Serpentine
Pavilions in London, which is
an annual project that the
Serpentine Gallery puts on,
which is every summer, inviting
one world-renowned
architect who's never built in
London or in England to design
a pavilion for the summer.
So what the students have looked
at each in pairs are
looking at one particular
pavilion of their choice.
And they are analyzing it in
terms of structure, material,
tectonics, relationship to the
environment and the ground.
ALISON MILLS: We started
exploring what landscape meant
in terms of architecture and
trying to figure out how we
could interact with
the ground.
And then from here, we picked an
existing pavilion to figure
out how these pavilions interact
with their site.
For the next six weeks, after
this project is finished,
we're going to be designing
our own pavilion.
ALEJANDRO ARROYO: The pavilion
itself was very simple in
terms of the plan and in
terms of the structure.
But we wanted to focus more on
the experience through the
pavilion and what the pavilion
means for the architect and
how it relates to the site.
OLIVIA HUANG: The concept of the
pavilion was that it was
excavating the past pavilions,
the foundations.
So we wanted to explore that
digging into the earth aspect
and the level of changes that
happen and how or why they
chose the logic they did, and
maybe if we could find our own
logic from that.
GRETA HAYES: We are trying to
extract and analyze important
details and information from
these pavilions to see what
the structural meaning and the
effects of these temporary
buildings are.
ALEJANDRO ARROYO: I chose the
architecture program at
Princeton because it allowed
me to do more things.
There are a lot of other
things that I can do.
I can practice my sport.
I'm a member of the track
and field team.
That's the beauty about the
Princeton program, because
you're still getting an amazing
architecture education
and formation.
But it allows you to do and
practice something else. and
not only my sport, but if
I'm interested in other
disciplines, I still have that
freedom to go there and
explore it.

Science Cafés
Engage your Local Section in the Science Café movement! If you are looking to plan an activity for your Local Section beyond just the ordinary monthly meeting, consider organizing a Science Café.
Help to promote scientific literacy among local citizens while invigorating your Local Section and stimulating thinking among nonscientists about questions of the day that have a scientific underpinning.
Science Cafés provide a relaxed, open venue for nonscientists and scientists to discuss current topics. Cafés are often held in coffee shops, bars, restaurants or bookstores, anywhere people gather. Science Cafés increase science literacy in communities across America. Cafés focus on a specific topic and can include a variety of approaches: a single speaker, a panel discussion, or include a video or trivia. They usually consist of a speaker or speakers and a group discussion. Read more about the background of the Science Café movement. And see some examples of science café held by local sections in the Science Café group on the ACS Network.
For more information and resources see the ACS Science Café Toolkit.
Apply for a Science Café Mini-Grant - Local Sections can receive funding up to $500.
Upcoming deadline: May 31, 2016
If you were awarded this mini-grant for your last Science Café, you must send a summary report before applying again.

The Surrender of the Crag is an event in the War of the Five Kings. It occurs off screen between "A Man Without Honor" and "The Prince of Winterfell." The army of House Stark in the Westerlands maintains its camp after the victory at the Battle of the Yellow Fork while King Robb Stark travels to the Crag with a small force to negotiate their surrender and take on supplies.
Having won victories in the Riverlands, at the Battle of Oxcross and the Battle of the Yellow Fork the army of House Stark under the command of King Robb I has established a strong foothold in the Westerlands.[1][2][3] The victory at Oxcross has left the region lightly defended.[2]
King Robb Stark leads part of his force to the Crag to negotiate the surrender of House Westerling, a vassal house of his enemies House Lannister. He is accompanied by the battlefield surgeon Talisa Maegyr who uses the opportunity to obtain supplies from the castle's Maester.[3]
Robb returns from the mission without incident. However, while he was away his key prisoner Ser Jaime Lannister was released by his mother Catelyn Stark without his consent. The betrayal, combined with the ongoing worry about his siblings captivity, causes Robb to seek solace in the arms of Talisa Maegyr, flaunting his vow to marry into House Frey.[4]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire, novels the Crag surrenders only after losing a battle for control of the castle. Robb is wounded in the battle and shortly afterwards learns of the apparent deaths of his brothers at the hand of Theon Greyjoy. It is this different betrayal that causes him to seek solace in the arms of a woman despite his betrothal, in this case Jeyne Westerling rather than Talisa Maegyr.

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Oct. 24 2012 11:47 AM 0 Getty Images The people surveyed for this poll don't get to cast a ballot in our election, but perhaps their opinions matter to those who do when it comes to choosing a new "leader of the free world." BBC found sharply higher approval ratings for President Barack Obama than Mitt Romney when it asked "Who would you prefer?" overseas. An average of 50% favoured Mr Obama, with 9% for Mr Romney, in the survey of 21,797 people in 21 countries. Only Pakistan's respondents said they would prefer to see Mr Romney win November's election. France was the most strongly pro-Obama (72%). The survey was conducted by GlobeScan/PIPA between 3 July and 3 September. Should the opinions of people in other countries matter to us here in the U.S.? Let us know in the comments section.

The warm, wet weather we've been experiencing is not helping us with a big post-Irene nuisance... Mosquitoes. We want to run down how various counties are combating the potentially dangerous pests.
Several counties have on-going spraying programs. Beaufort County has been spraying by ground with five to six trucks out each night, and they're considering an aerial spray in the eastern part of the county next week. Carteret County has 10 spray trucks that have been very busy since Irene. Jones County has contracted with a private company for ground spraying. Pitt County is also spraying. They set up a mosquito hotline because they were getting so many calls. That number is 902-3220.
Bertie County does not normally spray for mosquitoes, but they've had so many calls they're now considering it. Spraying in Greene County has been approved and they're also looking into options.
Some counties say they have no plans to spray for the pests. Craven County got rid of their Vector Control Program. Duplin and Nash counties say they haven't had many calls complaining about mosquitoes. While Lenoir County says they're getting 10 to 15 calls a day, but have no money available for spraying.
As we've previously reported, Pamlico County has dropped their plans to spray saying there's no guarantee FEMA would reimburse them. Currituck County scheduled aerial sprays for late last week.

My baby girl has yet to blow me kisses, and she seems intent on emptying every drawer and cupboard in the house, but one thing is certain: she gives the best hugs.
Olivia is 14 months old and I swear she never stops moving. Her favorite game is to wait until I open the refrigerator, then she grabs the yogurt (stored at her level perhaps I should move it?) and runs into the living room.
I give chase, with images of goopy yogurt splayed across the carpet, and she squeals with delight at what she thinks is a game.
Then, when I'm about to catch her, she heaves the yogurt with all her might to rid herself of the evidence. (So far all the yogurt caps have held tight, thank goodness.)
She also, with glee, pulls books off the shelf and then proceeds to leaf through the volumes like the most studious reader. Sometimes she even refrains from ripping.
These are all toddler antics, I'm sure, and will pass as every phase tends to do.
But right now she does something that melts my heart no matter her offense (thankfully she can't do too much damage, yet).
When I pick her up, she wraps her arms around my neck and cuddles her head to my shoulder.
Sometimes these hugs are fleeting a quick reassurance after she's taken a fall, or just to check in with mom but other times it seems like she'll never let go.
And sometimes she sets her mouth in a determined line and growls as she squeezes, something that makes me laugh every time so she, as with all positively reinforced behavior, keeps it up just for the response.
The phases of childhood are fleeting, I know. It seems like just yesterday I held her tiny body in my arms and marveled at her perfection.
Those infant snuggles are wonderful too, as babies cuddle next to your beating heart.
But Olivia's hugs now are of a different sort, ones she gives of her own volition.
I cherish those hugs, and never take one for granted because I know someday she might be embarrassed to hug her mom in public, or too busy to stop for a snuggle.
I take these hugs any way I can get them, and hold on tight because I know, all too soon, she will be the one letting go before I'm ready.

Every ingredient in this dish–duck, blueberries and Indian wild rice–comes from local sources, said Kristen Wasyliszyn, owner and chef at Atiki's Flight Catering. Wasyliszyn lightly rubs the duck with hazelnut oil for a subtle, nutty flavor and broasts it in high heat to render the outside crisp while the inside remains tender and moist. The blueberries are reduced slowly and the chef adds drippings from the broasting pan, along with a touch of cognac.

Years ago, I flew my small airplane to visit my sister. She was shooting photos at a three-day equestrian event at a friend's private horse farm. When it came time for me to leave, she asked the host's son if he could drive me back to the airport. When he said, "What time's your flight?" I paused, smiled and replied, "Whenever I get there, I guess.

The last decade's boom days for fractional shares and jet cards made traditional air charter seem almost old-fashioned–and unreliable, as the charter fleet was often busy meeting overflow demand from fractional and card programs. Then the economy tanked and the upfront and hourly costs of those programs rendered them less appealing than charter to many flyers. In the few years since, innovations such as one-way pricing and guaranteed access have made charter look even more attractive.

Airbus began airline deliveries of its A320 twinjet in 1988. Today, more than 5,000 are in service and another 2,000-plus have been ordered. U.S. carriers flying the model include Delta, US Airways, United and JetBlue. Odds are, you've already been on one. Compared with the original Boeing 737, which was designed in the early 1960s, the A320 has a wider and taller cabin and a slicker wing. It also features digital fly-by-wire controls.

Verdant Bluffs
this wiki
Verdant Bluffs is district in Los Santos, San Andreas. It is located south of Downtown Los Santos and immediately north of Los Santos International Airport. Also adjacent to the area are the districts of Verona Beach, El Corona, Commerce and the Los Santos Conference Center.
The main feature of the area is Verdant Bluffs itself, a large outcropping of rock. With over 2,000 acres of natural terrain, it is the largest municipal park and urban wilderness area in all of San Andreas.[1] There are no gang activities or safehouses here, although nearby districts Verona Beach and El Corona has prominent gang activities and a safehouse. The building at the top of the hill is the historic Los Santos Observatory based on the Griffith Observatory but oddly the location and name has more in common Palos Verdes.

Child car seats; Infant car seats; Car seats; Car safety seats
Child safety seats are proven to save children's lives in accidents.
In the United States, all states require children to be secured in a car seat or booster seat until they are 4' 9" tall. Most children grow to this height when they are between 8 and 12 years old.
To keep your child safe, keep these tips in mind when using a car safety seat.
When you are selecting a child safety seat for the first time:
The types of child safety seats and restraints include:
A rear-facing seat is one in which your child faces the back of the vehicle. The seat should be installed on the back seat of your vehicle. The two types of rear-facing seats are the infant-only seat and the convertible seat.
Infant-only rear-facing seats. These seats are for babies who weigh up to 22 to 30 pounds, depending on the car seat. You will need a new seat when your child gets bigger. Infant-only seats have handles so you can carry the seat to and from the car. Some have a base you can leave installed in the car. This lets you click the car seat into place each time you use it. Follow manufacturer's instructions on how the seat should be reclined so your baby's head does not shift around while you are driving.
Convertible seats. These seats are to be placed in the rear-facing position and are for infants and toddlers. When your child is older and bigger, the seat can be switched to the forward-facing position. Experts recommend keeping your child rear-facing until at least age 2 and until your child outgrows the weight or height allowed by the seat.
A forward-facing seat should be installed on the back seat of your vehicle, although it allows your child to face the front of the car. These seats are used only after your child is too big for a rear-facing seat.
A combination forward-facing booster seat may also be used. For younger children, the booster seat's harness straps should be used. After your child reaches the upper height and weight limit for the harness (based on the seat's instructions), the vehicle's own lap and shoulder belts can be used to keep your child strapped in.
A booster seat raises your child up so the vehicle's own lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across your child's upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of your child's shoulder and chest.
Use booster seats for older children until they are 4' 9" tall and between 8 and 12 years old.
These seats are also called flat car seats. They are used for premature or other special-needs babies. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends having a health care provider look at how your preterm baby fits and breathes in a car seat before leaving the hospital.
Some vehicles have built-in car seats. Weight and height limits vary. You can get more details on these seats by reading the vehicle owner's manual or calling the vehicle manufacturer.
Special vests can be worn by older children who have outgrown forward-facing safety seats. The vests can be used instead of booster seats. The vests are used with the vehicle's lap and seat belts. As with car seats, children should be sitting in the back seat when using the vest.
Use child car seats and restraints properly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing and using your child's car seat. Also, read your vehicle's owner's manual to determine the safest place in your vehicle to install a car seat. If the instructions are unclear, call the car seat manufacturer.
A car seat should be snug and positioned at the proper angle. It should not move more than 1 inch forward or sideways.
Contact your local police or fire station for help installing your seat. Many have free programs that will show you how to install the seat. To find a certified child passenger safety technician in your area, visit www.seatcheck.org.
Child safety seats come with safety straps called harnesses. These secure the child into position. Be sure all harnesses are secured snugly. Double check the buckle to ensure it is fastened.
The seat is secured into your vehicle using either the vehicle's seat belts or the LATCH system. LATCH stands for lower anchors and tethers for children. This system is designed to make car seat installation easier. A child safety seat that comes with a LATCH system attaches to anchors in the back seat where the cushions meet. A strap called a tether connects the top of the safety seat to the vehicle's frame. The vehicle's seat belts are not used. All child safety seats and vehicles made after September 1, 2002 come with LATCH systems.
For more information on how to install child safety seats, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration online.

NEW YORK -- The Yankee Stadium sellout crowd stood on their feet at 1:22 Monday afternoon and screamed Derek Jeter's name, over and over, while he stood in the batter's box.
Jeter showed little emotion, but as he said Monday morning, don't let the exterior fool you.
WATCH: Jeter moves up on the all-time hit list
"I have emotions,'' Jeter says, "I just hide it. I've just been pretty good trying to control my emotions. You have feelings. There are a lot of "wow'' moments when you're in New York, but for me, I always felt it was easier for me to play if I try to control my emotions.''
Jeter, playing in the final home-opener of his Yankees' career, struck out in his first at-bat, and maybe those emotions got the best of him.
REUNITED: The Core 4 reunite before opener
"You're human,'' Jeter said. "Everyone has emotions. Everyone has feelings. Especially here, we played in so many big games, so many special games throughout the course of my career. I'll be nervous. I'll have butterflies before this game starts, but I do that all of the time.''
This game, of course, was different than any other Jeter has ever played.
It is the last home opener of his career at Yankee Stadium. He was reunited with the rest of the Core Four before the game -- the nucleus that won five World Series titles together. Jeter caught a ceremonial first pitch from Mariano Rivera. Jorge Posada caught Andy Pettitte.
"He's the last one standing now,'' said Rivera, who retired after last season with Pettitte.
The celebrations and tributes won't just stop this day, Girardi says, but continue the entire season.
"I think it will be a love-fest, and appreciation-fest,'' Girardi says, "people trying to soak it all in. I think people will show their appreciation, no matter what, just what he's meant to the Yankees.''
And despite the perception, Jeter corrected reporters Monday, he will fully appreciate every last moment of this season, including all of the tributes and ceremonies.
"I will enjoy it,'' Jeter says. "Every city I go to, every game I play, I will enjoy it. But at the same time, I get the fact that I have to play a game. I have to play a season.
"Not enjoying it is the wrong way to put it, but balancing it is a better way to put it.''

From Edmunds.com
When you've got a family and an active lifestyle, nothing's more practical than a minivan. But some vans are more practical than others. To help out with your decision-making process, we've put together a list of the 10 features we consider the most important to have in these family-centered vehicles, plus some bonus goodies. We've eliminated basics like rear air-conditioning controls and dual sliding doors that are standard fare on most, if not all, modern-day minivans, and concentrated on more recent innovations that you won't find in every van on the market. The features are arranged in no particular order. We've listed the minivans that are available with each feature — either as standard equipment or as a factory option.
Bonus featuresSo we've told you the features we think are essential for every minivan, but what if you have a flexible budget that enables you to create the ultimate minivan? Well, here are some features that we don't consider necessities but are nonetheless enjoyable additions to a family vehicle.
115-volt power outlet: Don't let the voltage rating throw you off — we're talking about a standard two-prong household outlet. That means you can plug in the PlayStation 3 or the portable camp stove without using an adapter (the kind you'd need for the usual 12-volt power points). It doesn't get any more convenient than this.Minivans that have it:Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay
Power-down rear side windows: Even with all the room to spread out, life in the back of a minivan can become uncomfortably warm at times. In the past, sliding side doors mandated fixed glass in the second row, leaving the "ventable" third-row windows as the only source of fresh air. Some manufacturers, however, have broken free of this limitation. They offer power-down side windows in the second row of their minivans, allowing passengers to enjoy a fresh breeze.Minivans that have it: Honda Odyssey, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, Mazda MPV, Toyota Sienna
Power rear liftgate:What at first sounds like an extravagance turns out to be very convenient, especially when you approach the van with groceries in one arm and a child in the other. Simply press a button on the remote or yank on the exterior handle, and a power-operated liftgate will open under its own strength. Stow the groceries in the cargo bay, hit the button again, and go about your business. Like we said, very convenient.Minivans that have it:Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Freestar, Honda Odyssey, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, Mercury Monterey, Nissan Quest, Toyota Sienna
Rear DVD entertainment system: Although there's plenty to be said for spending quality time together during a road trip, those hours can get mighty long, even for the closest of families. Having the option to pop in a cartoon for the kids or a movie for everyone to enjoy (except the driver, of course) can make long-distance adventures much more relaxing. And since these systems come with wireless headphones, the kids can watch the movie while the adults listen to the radio.Minivans that have it:Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Freestar, Honda Odyssey, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, Mazda 5, Mazda MPV, Mercury Monterey, Nissan Quest, Pontiac Montana SV6, Saturn Relay, Toyota Sienna
Center folding storage tray: This simple feature is nothing more than a tray with cupholders that fits between the front captain's chairs, but the parents on the Edmunds.com staff love it. Why? Simply put, it can easily accommodate the spoils of a trip through the drive-thru, or provide the perfect resting place for a bag or a purse. In the event that you need to get to the rear seats to comfort a baby or break up a territorial dispute, simply fold down the tray and walk through to the back. Some manufacturers try to increase storage capacity by offering a larger, removable center console unit in this space, but these typically require two hands and some elbow grease to remove, so you'll find yourself having to climb over them when you're in a hurry — and that isn't very convenient.Minivans that have it:Honda Odyssey, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, Toyota Sienna
Navigation system: Writing down directions or printing them off the Internet seems simple enough, but when you have a lot to carry or are in a rush, those directions can easily become misplaced. Also, written or printed directions can distract you from your driving by forcing you to check the paper and then look for the corresponding street signs. A navigation system helps avoid undue stress caused by complicated or misplaced directions. It also keeps you focused on your driving by telling you where and when to turn.Minivans that have it:Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, Honda Odyssey, Mazda 5, Nissan Quest, Saturn Relay, Toyota Sienna
DVD changer: Most vehicles today offer the option of an in-dash,six-CD changer to cut down on the frequency with which the driver has to change a CD. Now, the option of a dual six-CD/DVD changer is being offered in some minivans. This allows parents to load DVDs into the changer and not worry about switching discs while driving, and risk hearing, "Are we there yet?" from the children in the backseat.Minivans that have it:Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona
Onboard hard drive: Like cassettes and CDs when they first appeared, MP3s are emerging as the favored music format of today. GM was thinking of this when it introduced the option of a 40-gigabyte removable hard drive for its line of minivans, called the PhatNoise system. With this feature, you can store thousands of music MP3 files and several dozen movie files to the hard drive, and have them all accessible and searchable from inside your minivan. This feature eliminates the need to constantly switch CDs or DVDs, allowing you to concentrate on driving and keeping things hassle-free for the entire family at the same time. Worth noting is the addition of auxiliary inputs to the stereo in many new minivans. This feature allows an external hard drive, such as an MP3 player, to be connected to the stereo, allowing for much the same hassle-free use as an onboard hard drive.Minivans with onboard hard drives:Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, Saturn RelayMinivans with auxiliary inputs:Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, Nissan Quest, Saturn Relay, Toyota Sienna

Ash's Squirtle is a Pokémon owned by Ash.
Squirtle was the sixth Pokémon Ash caught. He was originally the leader of the Squirtle Squad but took a liking to Ash and decided to travel with him. Squirtle was one of Ash's most commonly used Pokémon throughout his travels in Kanto and the Orange Islands and proved to be a powerful fighter despite his small size. Squirtle was good friends with Ash's Bulbasaur and like Bulbasaur he has shown no interest in evolving despite the fact that he was certainly strong enough to have evolved. Squirtle kept the glasses he had while he was a member of the Squirtle Squad in his shell but rarely wore them.
Squirtle also battled against the Orange Islands Champion, Drake. It was squeezed by Bind, but used Hydro Pump to break free and finished it off with Skull Bash. In Enter the Dragonite, it fought Dragonite, only for its Hydro Pump to be countered by Dragonite's Water Gun. Squirtle was able to use Withdraw to endure most of the following Thunderbolt, but was still badly hurt. Squirtle used Bubble to hit Dragonite dead-on, but this was the only successful attack and it was beaten by a slam from Dragonite's tail.
Shortly after their adventures in the Orange Islands, Ash asked Squirtle to go back to the Squirtle Squad to help them stop fires.
Squirtle returned when Ash's battled Macy in the Silver Conference, defeating Macy's Electabuzz and Quilava.
Squirtle's latest appearance was when he joined Ash's team, along with Bulbasaur and Charizard in order to battle against Brandon. Squirtle defeated Brandon's Ninjask with Skull Bash, but is defeated by Solrock. After the battle, Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad and has not been used since.
Squirtle also appears in the Adventures in Unova theme song, and also appeared in a flashback in BW118.
