FTC Receives Complaints About Learning Apps For Babies
Some educational apps may not be all that educational. At least that's the claim made in a complaint filed this week at the Federal Trade Commission against Fisher Price. Its Laugh & Learn apps have been downloaded nearly 3 million times.
Maybe you've seen a busy parent do this - hand over their smart phone to a child with a kid-friendly app running to keep them busy. Well, yesterday an advocacy group complained to the Federal Trade Commission that Fisher Price is deceiving parents by promoting its Laugh & Learn apps as educational.
NPR's Laura Sydell reports.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Babies are encouraged to learn about shapes and colors on this version of Laugh & Learn apps.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Green triangle.
SYDELL: But an organization called Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood says that just isn't true.
JOSH GOLIN: The prevailing research shows that apps are not actually educational for babies that age.
SYDELL: Josh Golin is the Campaign's associate director. Fisher-Prices' Laugh and Learn apps have been downloaded nearly three million times, he says. And he says as hard as it can be to quiet a restless infant, apps are not the answer.
GOLIN: The best thing for babies is not to have any screen time. The American Academies of Pediatrics recommends no screen time for children under two
SYDELL: Fisher-Price begs to differ. In a statement, the company's Dr. Kathleen Alfano, an expert in childhood education, says a great deal of research went into the apps. She calls the Campaign's claims unsupported.
The FTC will now investigate the complaint. If it turns out that those apps don't benefit baby, Fisher-Price could face monetary damages.

Margin agreements! Hidden values! Term insurance!
More financial terms. More interesting Big 12 stocks that are up and down. Let's get to the stock report.
Rising: Kansas State's offense
Oh, you thought West Virginia or Oklahoma State had the Big 12's best offense? Are you sure about that? The Mountaineers and Cowboys' fast-paced offenses are fun, and so is Baylor's, but the Wildcats are bucking the stereotype and leading the Big 12 in points per game. Their lead is just one-tenth of a point per game ahead of Oklahoma State and three-tenths ahead of third-place Baylor, but 44.4 points is impressive and K-State has scored at least 50 points in three of its past four Big 12 games.
Falling: Kansas' offense in conference games
Yiiiiiiikes. The Big 12 is a league of points, but Kansas is averaging just 12 points a game in league play, just over half the average of Iowa State (23.2), the Big 12's ninth-best scoring team in league play. The defense is improved and kept them in games against Texas and Oklahoma State, but if the losing streak's going to end, the offense needs to get better fast. KU averaged 17.4 points in conference play last year and 14.5 in 2010.
Rising: Baylor receivers' big plays
The Bears are still winless in Big 12 play, but it's not been Tevin Reese and Terrance Williams' fault. The duo is averaging 20 and 19.5 yards a catch. Among receivers in the top 12 in receiving yards, nobody in the Big 12 averages more than 17 yards a catch and only one receiver (Texas' Mike Davis) averages more than 14 yards a grab. All five of Reese's touchdown catches this year have been longer than 40 yards, and 11 of his 12 career touchdown catches have been longer than 40 yards. Ridiculous.
Falling: TCU's discipline
The Frogs are 70 percent freshmen and sophomores, and it's showing in the penalty column. The Frogs are the Big 12's most penalized team and rank 113th nationally in the stat. TCU is flagged an average of 7.6 times a game for more than 70 yards. The Frogs have been flagged 61 times for 570 yards this year.
One other quick penalty note: Kansas has passed Kansas State as the Big 12's least penalized team. Both have drawn 29 flags in eight games, but KU has accounted for seven fewer yards on those flags than K-State. You're slipping, Cats! Slipping!
Rising: Competition for the Big 12's best running back
Joseph Randle was all alone earlier this season, but Kansas' James Sims is rising very, very fast. Sims missed the first three games of the year because of suspension, but since he's been back he's topped 90 yards in every game and scored five touchdowns. He's been the bellcow back for the Jayhawks, carrying the ball at least 27 times in each of the past four games, highlighted by a career day with 176 yards against Texas last Saturday. He's already third in the Big 12, and averages 124 yards a game. Randle is just at 127.
Falling: Passing offenses against Oklahoma
The Sooners gave up 18 passing touchdowns a year ago, which left them in the middle of the pack in the Big 12. This year, Oklahoma's gotten a whole lot stingier in the secondary under new defensive coordinator Mike Stoops. In eight games, opponents have just three passing touchdowns, six fewer than anybody in the Big 12. The Sooners are tied for second nationally with Alabama in the stat. Only Boise State (2) has surrendered fewer.

Just got back from a quick trip to the supermarket. 2 guys pulled up on their bikes-1 was a Huffy the other, a Cannondale... the 3rd guy "works" at the supermarket watching peoples carts while you get your car (urban supermarket so you can't take your cart past the front entrance way because there are concrete poles only wide enough for people not carts).
Huffy guy says to C-Dale guy- "Hey man whatcha ridin'?
C-Dale guy says- "Got me a new Cannon-something", looks down at the downtube and says, "Ahhh, a Cannondale".
3rd guy looks over and must know them both because he says- "Hey man, it must be a killa bein' in yer 30's, ridin' bikes and tryin' to get biotches"
C-Dale guys says- "Yeah, but things be changin' now I got me this bike!"
Huffy guy says- "Well I ain't never had any luck wit my Huffy... yet"
3rd guy says- "Hahaha, told both you fools!"
Huffy and C-Dale guys look at 3rd guy and say pretty much in unison- "Hey, you don't have a car OR a bike so what YOU talkin' 'bout?!?!"
3rd guy didn't smile and kind of slunk away back into the supermarket.
Probably a "had to be there" moment but it was funny to overhear.

Lightspeed China Partners, GGV Capital and Qiming Venture Partners have helped fill a $100m investment pot for Chinese vacation rental website Tujia.com, according to news reports in China.
China Renaissance Capital was the only new firm to invest in the Series C round, in which CDH Venture and CBC also took part.
The news was first reported by China Money Network, with the $100m figure confirmed by Tujia's chief executive Luo Jun on his Weibo social media page.
Tujia raised $64m early in 2013 through a Series B financing round led by GGV Capital.
Proceeds from this latest round are slated for sales and marketing, as well as finding new properties to be listed for rental.
As a result of the investments, the investors are the majority shareholder in Beijing-based Tujia, according to Chinese news reports.
Tujia.com allows users to post listings of properties that can be hired out as vacation or business rentals. The company has more than 80,000 properties listed, mainly in its core market of China, with some overseas.
Tujia.com is a Chinese version of the US vacation home rental website Airbnb.com, which is backed by TPG and was rumoured to be valued at $10bn earlier this year.
Silicon Valley early-stage investor Lightspeed Venture Partners launched its second China fund earlier this month after closing its debut fund on $168m last year.

Investigators who are looking into a string of arson fires in Beaufort County say they now have a suspect in those fires.
Captain Kenneth Watson with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office says while they have a suspect, they are not ready to release that person's name.
Since mid-February there have been 10 fires that authorities believe are connected in which abandoned homes, and two community centers have been targeted.
Watson says a fire today at an abandoned building off VOA Road was arson as well, but they do not believe this fire is connected to the others.

The tax plan to make up a billion dollars is apparently back at square one after Governor Perdue objected.
The Governor said she wouldn't support a measure calling for an extra tax on individuals and businesses that didn't pay enough income tax during the year.
Perdue publicly chastised lawmakers, saying she was "stunned" by the idea of an income tax surcharge.
The state has been operating under a continuing resolution since the start of the fiscal year on July 1.
The stopgap measure expires at the end of the month.
Gov. Beverly Perdue has told legislative leaders she won't support a North Carolina state budget that raises the income tax bill for those she calls "working families."
Perdue said she expressed her concern Thursday to Senate leader Marc Basnight and House Speaker Joe Hackney.
The $982 million tax deal that House and Senate Democrats agreed to this week contains a 2 percent surcharge on anyone with an income tax bill. Legislators earlier had considered placing the surcharge only on the highest wage earners.
The tax plan is expected to be inserted into the final two-year budget that lawmakers could vote on as early as next week.
Perdue says she also "reemphasized the need to protect public schools" in her talks with Hackney and Basnight.

The Bears will play a matinee at Arizona State on Wednesday at 1 p.m. before finishing up the schedule against rival and third-ranked Stanford on Friday at Maples Pavilion at 6 p.m. Cal hopes to see the return of leading attacker and senior team captain Adrienne Gehan and All-Pac-12 candidate Lara Vukasovic.

Catching Up With The BearsCal is on a three-match losing streak, having dropped both of its home matches last week in five sets. Despite playing without leading attacker Adrienne Gehan on Friday, the Bears had three match points against No. 3 Washington before the Huskies came back for the win. The Bears, playing without Gehan and sophomore middle blocker Lara Vukasovic on Sunday, took the first two sets against Washington State before the Cougars stormed back for the victory.Feller Earns 300th Win At Cal, Eyes 600th OverallHead Coach Rich Feller picked up his 300th victory at Cal when the Bears won at Oregon State in four sets on Nov. 14. Feller is now 300-163 in 15 seasons at Cal. He became the program's all-time winningest coach with his 156th win back in 2007. The win over the Beavers also gave Feller 599 for his career. His next win will make him just the 29th coach in the history of Division I college volleyball to reach the 600-win mark for a career. Feller spent the first 14 years of his career at Colorado State. Higgins Puts Up Career Numbers At Old PositionBecause of the injury to Adrienne Gehan, junior Christina Higgins moved from the opposite spot back to outside hitter last weekend and set career-highs in kills in back-to-back matches. She registered 21 kills against Washington and came back with 26 in the loss to Washington St. The 26 kills against the Cougars was the most by a Cal player in a match since Tarah Murrey put down 34 at USC in 2010. For the weekend, Higgins averaged 4.70 kills per set at a .295 hitting percentage. Higgins played outside hitter all of last season but had played opposite in every match this year before last weekend.Gehan Reaches 1,000-Kill MarkSenior outside hitter Adrienne Gehan put down her 1,000th career kill during the Bears' win over Oregon State on Oct. 27. She is the 15th player in school history to reach that mark. The last Cal player to go over the 1,000-kill mark for a career was Tarah Murrey in 2010. Gehan ranks sixth in the Pac-12 with an average of 4.22 kills per set. Offense Features Explosive 1-2 PunchCal is the only team in the Pac-12 with two players among the top-10 in kills per set. Senior outside hitter Adrienne Gehan ranks sixth at 4.22 while junior Christina Higgins is 10th at 3.41 kills per set. The last time the Bears had two players finish the season in the top-10 in the conference in kills per set was in 2007, when Hana Cutura finished fourth at 4.22 and Angie Pressey was fifth at 4.21.Injuries Get New Faces On FloorInjuries forced the Bears to tinker with their lineup last weekend, and it resulted in the first significant playing time in freshman middle blocker Jenelle Jordan's career. The former No. 17 Senior Ace by Prepvolleyball.com played in seven of a possible 10 sets over the weekend and had seven kills and four blocks. Meanwhile, sophomore defensive specialist Sarah Cole had a career-high 19 digs against Washington and 18 more against Washington St. to average 3.70 for the weekend. Junior opposite Lindsey Parrott played in eight sets and had nine kills and three blocks.Caloiaro Looks To Become Cal's First Assist ChampSenior setter Joan Caloiaro continues to lead the Pac-12 in assist average at 11.72 per set, a mark that also places her 10th in the country. No Cal player has ever paced the conference in assist average. Carli Lloyd led the Pac-12 in total assists in 2008 with 1,392. Despite not having even played two full seasons at Cal yet, Caloiaro is already sixth on the Bears' all-time assists list with 2,390 in her career.Lights-Out LaraSophomore middle blocker Lara Vukasovic is making a strong bid for all-conference honors. She begins the week ranked sixth in the Pac-12 with a .355 hitting percentage and ninth with 1.19 blocks per set. Vukasovic missed the Bears' last match against Washingotn State with a sprained ankle.Michelle Neumayr's Long Road BackOutside hitter Michelle Neumayr made her long-awaited college debut in the Bears' season-opener against Nevada on Aug. 30 at the Cal Molten Classic. Neumayr, who was the No. 27 Senior Ace by Prepvolleyball.com at Burlingame High School, tore the ACL in her left knee the summer before her freshman year at Cal. Then after fully recovering, she tore the same ligament last summer. Two surgeries and hours of rehab later, Neumayr is finally on the floor for the first time at Cal. The Last Time vs. Arizona State: Oct. 28, 2012 - Arizona St. 3, Cal 2Middle blocker Shannon Hawari had 18 kills and 12 blocks while hitting for a .500 percentage but the Sun Devils outlasted the Bears 25-23, 23-25, 25-18, 13-25, 16-14 at Haas Pavilion. Opposite hitter Correy Johnson added 14 kills and nine blocks for the Bears and Christina Higgins had 12 kills and four blocks. Wednesday's match will be the only one between the two teams this season.The Last Time vs. Stanford: Sept. 25, 2013 - No. 7 Stanford 3, Cal 1Senior outside hitter Adrienne Gehan had 19 kills and 16 digs but the Bears came up just a few points short in a 20-25, 25-23, 25-22, 28-26 loss to the Cardinal in both team's Pac-12 opener. Sophomore middle blocker Lara Vukasovic added 12 kills and sophomore middle blocker Lillian Schonewise recorded 11 kills and three blocks.

PEKKA PEKKALA: 'The Future of Journalism looks cheap and ugly'
Pekka Pekkala from USC Annenberg will talk about how the scene is developing in the US and what can we learn about those experiences in Finland.
LINDA LIUKAS: 'What every journalist needs to know about coding'
Liukas is the founder of Rails Girls which teaches programming for girls.
TEPPO HUDSON: 'Brands as publishers'
Hudson is the founder of Publishzer.
Welcome all to Pressiklubi! Johannes Koponen (founder, Scoopinion), Jussi Pullinen (news editor, Helsingin Sanomat), Johanna Vehkoo (journalist, author).
We're aware of this and we're sorry! In the beginning we asked how many didn't speak Finnish, there were two, so we asked some people to translate to them. Also the tweeting was in English. In the future we have to think about this – we don't want to exclude anyone nor do we want the Finns to shy away from discussion because of the language. Perhaps having something in both languages would work?

England Leads India by 377 Runs in First Test After Prior Ton
India battled to 80-1 at the close of play on day four of the first cricket Test against England at Lord's in London, still trailing the hosts by 377.
England wicketkeeper Matt Prior cracked his sixth Test century to give his team the edge after India had fought back through four wickets from Ishant Sharma.
Prior, 103 not out, and Stuart Broad, 74 not out, came together with England struggling on 107-6 in its second innings and took the total to 269-6 before captain Andrew Strauss declared. India then lost only one wicket before the close.
The match is the 2,000th in the 134 years of elite Test cricket. England can overtake India as the top team in the International Cricket Council rankings if it wins the four-match series by two Tests or more.
England started the day on 5-0 and soon lost its first wicket as Alastair Cook edged Praveen Kumar to wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni after scoring only one run.
Strauss made 32 before he was trapped leg before wicket by Harbhajan Singh, the start of a collapse that saw three further wickets fall for the addition of eight runs.
Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell both edged Sharma to Dhoni in the same over, then Jonathan Trott was bowled by the paceman soon after. Prior and Morgan, 19 runs, lifted the hosts past 100 before Sharma claimed his fourth wicket.
With England keen to set a declaration, Prior and Broad scored quickly and the innings was concluded immediately after the wicketkeeper struck a boundary to reach his ton -- scored off 120 balls.
India lost Abhinav Mukund early in its reply, before Rahul Dravid, 34 runs, and VVS Laxman, 32 runs, built an unbeaten 61-run partnership.

The present invention is directed toward an endoscope having a tubular stem having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end receives a camera and a distally pointing illumination device, and wherein the tubular stem defines an empty space extending in the proximal direction away from the camera, the empty space receiving a camera cable.
An endoscope of the aforementioned type is known, for instance, from U.S. Pat. No. 4,858,001. This known endoscope, designed for dentistry, comprises a tubular stem fitted, at its distal end, with an electronic camera and with a distally pointing luminous source. The camera and the luminous source are fitted with conductors for power and data transmission. The conductors run inside the stem to a proximal main case where they terminate in outputs allowing connection to a power source or an image processor.
This design incurs the drawback that a comparatively large amount of free space goes unutilized in the vicinity of the conductors in the stem of such endoscopes.
Accordingly, the objective of the invention is that, starting with the state of the art, an endoscope shall be created which better utilizes space available in the stem of the endoscope.
According to the present invention, the available empty space in the tubular stem of the endoscope of the state of the art, which heretofore are filled only slightly by the conductors, shall be utilized to receive implements.
The endoscopes according to the invention especially are the just recently introduced video endoscopes. The term "implements" refers to and covers, in particular, devices facilitating handling the endoscopes and devices imparting an additional function to the endoscope.
Illustratively, in accordance with the present invention, the empty space inside the tubular stem may be utilized to receive a camera focusing drive. The video camera, for instance, is axially driven inside the stem into focus adjustment (zoom), or into auto-focus. The empty space may also receive a radial drive to adjust the viewing direction, whereby the image axis is kept constant for instance by means of corresponding stem rotations.
Furthermore, the empty space may be used to receive a drive means for a tool such as tongs or the like inside the endoscope. This drive means also may be a motor-actuated rotational or translational drive means permitting advancement/retraction of the implement, or otherwise actuating or manipulating the attachment.
Conceivably an implement turret selectively making available different tools also may be mounted in the empty space of the stem.
Obviously as well a laser means such as a pointer and illustratively being used as an operational laser in cutting or in diagnosis (PDD) also may be accommodated and used in the empty space.
Moreover, sensors may be configured in the empty space. Such sensors may, for example, be adapted to detect temperatures or pressures (for instance to monitor bladder pressure during endoscopic intervention), or other environmental of interest.
Lastly, a flushing pump may be received inside the stem's empty space. The flushing pump may be used to cool the camera or a laser. As another instance, a medication dispenser might also be configured in the empty space.
The above listing is not exhaustive, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Rather, it is considered clear that the empty space in the tubular endoscopic stem may be used in the manner of the invention for all commensurately-sized implements appropriate for endoscopes or endoscopic interventions.
Like conventional endoscopes, the endoscope of the invention includes, in addition to the distally mounted camera, a distally pointing illumination device to illuminate the region of surgery. The illumination device may be, for example, strands of light guides running in the endoscope from a proximal light source to the distal stem end. Such strands of light guides will, however, reduce the empty space available inside the stem to receive implements.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the illumination device at the distal end of the tubular stem is a diode that is connected to power by means of conductors extending through the stem. The conductors have substantially smaller diameters than the strands of light guides. Using such a diode substantially increases the empty space in the tubular endoscope stem receiving the implements.
The present invention offers many advantages. One substantial advantage is that endoscopes according to the present invention may implement further functions, as compared to conventional endoscopes, without diameter enlargement. As a result, handling of endoscopes according to the present invention is simplified because one endoscope can be used for a larger number of different functions than can conventional endoscopes. Accordingly, endoscopes incorporating the present invention are multi-functional, and there is a less frequent need for endoscope exchange in intervention.
These and further features of the invention will be apparent with reference to the following description and drawing, wherein a partial cross section of an endoscope according to the present invention is illustrated.
The drawing FIGURE shows a diagrammatic partial section of an embodiment of the endoscope 10 of the invention.
With reference to the drawing FIGURE, an endoscope 10 according to the present invention is illustrated. The endoscope 10 comprises a proximal main case 11 to which is distally apposed a tubular stem 12. A camera 13 is mounted in the distal end zone of the tubular stem 12 and, by means of a lens 27, looks through a window 26 into a region of surgery (not shown).
The camera 13 is connected, via a cable 14, to an output 16 of the main case 11. The cable 14 runs or extends inside the empty space 15 of the stem 12. The cable 14 is indicated symbolically and denotes, where applicable, any conductors required for camera operation, such as for power and data transmission.
Accordingly the output 16 also may denote a larger number of outputs allowing, for instance, links to a remote image-processing unit (not shown) and to a power source.
The endoscope 10 furthermore comprises strands of light guides 17 running from a proximal light source (not shown) through a light input 18 and through the stem 12 until its distal end where, upon activation by the proximal light source, they will provide illumination to a region of surgery.
As already cited above, strands of light guides may be replaced, for instance, by a light-emitting diode (LED) at the distal end of the stem 12. This diode needs only to be connected by a cable to a proximal power source and as a result the available empty space 15 in the stem 12 will be enlarged.
The invention also allows using the empty space 15 of the stem 12 to house implements.
In this respect, a drive means 19 is mounted in the empty space 15. The drive means is used to displace the camera 13 in the direction of the arrow. The drive means 19 is powered by a cable 28 and illustratively can implement auto-focus and/or zoom operation, or also a displacement of the camera 13 in the direction of viewing.
The empty space 15 moreover contains a laser pointer 20 which, by means of a diode 21 ,emits a laser beam 22 into the region of surgery. The laser pointer 20 is powered through a cable 29, and may be used for diagnosis purposes.
A pump 23 may also be configured inside the empty space 15. The pump 23 communicates, via a flushing duct 24, with the region of surgery, and via a feed duct 25, with a reservoir (not shown) outside the endoscope.
It is considered apparent that the implements shown in the drawing FIGURE and described hereinbefore are merely exemplary, and that many other devices may alternatively and/or additionally be disposed in the empty space 15 of the stem 12. It is further considered apparent that the empty space may be utilized to receive only one implement rather then several implements simultaneously.

"Alright then Danni" Mark said smiling at her. "In that case I have quite a bit to go over with you after watching you battle." Mark bit off a some pizza and chewed it down before continuing. He had quite a bit of stuff to go over and all.
"First off, You need a bit more variety. You managed to hold your own ground pretty decently but if Mienfoo is fighting a ghost type, he won't last long at all. You need to give him a bit more range of moves other then fighting moves. Otherwise he won't have any ways of countering opposing types. Flying types especially." Mark explained.
"What moves can your pokemon use? I have a few TMs I can lend if ya want."

Surprisingly Effective
This review is from: Maxsa 40218 Motion-Activated Dual Head LED Security Spotlight
Pros: For what is really nothing more than 2 small LED flashlights on a battery-operated motion sensor, this product delivers well above its weight. Together the two heads put out respectable amount of light & sensor is strong enough to capture motion 30' away without tripping on leaves in the wind. Solar-recharge batteries run the lights 2.5hrs on one charge. Can't beat the price/performance.

The 49ers defeated Cal Poly, 51-48, to advance to the Big West Tournament finals.
March 9, 2012

CLICK HERE FOR COACH WYNN'S PRESS CONFERENCE courtesy of GazettesSports.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. - The seventh-seeded Long Beach State women's basketball team used a total team effort to upset No. 1 seed Cal Poly, 51-48, in the Big West Tournament semifinals Friday afternoon at the Honda Center.
"It was an incredible game and atmosphere," third-year head coach Jody Wynnsaid. "I am extremely proud of our collective defensive effort. Our offense in the second half started with our defense."
The 49ers, who were picked to finish last in the conference's preseason poll, will play for the Big West title on Saturday at 2 p.m.
LBSU will be making its first appearance in the finals since 2001 and has a chance to advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1992.
Long Beach State (14-17) put together another stellar second half, shooting 50 percent from the field and going 6-for-11 from 3-point range. The 49ers finished the game at 34 percent, while holding the Mustangs to 28 percent.
Sophomore Hallie Meneses led the way with 16 points, going 6-of-9 from the floor with three 3-pointers. Freshman Devin Hudson registered her second double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, while freshman Lauren Spargochipped in eight points.
It was a slow start to the game for both teams offensively as Cal Poly held a 4-2 advantage at the first media timeout at the 14:11 mark. Hudson had a layup to put the 49ers on top early before the Mustangs made a pair of free throws and hit their first field goal with 15:10 remaining. LBSU was 1-for-10 and Cal Poly was 1-for-6 from the floor in the opening six minutes.
Cal Poly (17-14) proceeded to go on a 7-0 run after the short break to pull ahead 14-6, but Meneses answered by ending a six-minute scoring drought for the 49ers with an and-one layup. Long Beach State then closed the gap to 14-10 on a Moorer free throw with 4:45 remaining, but the Mustangs would rebuild their lead to nine. Meneses drained a 3-pointer with 44 seconds on the clock to make it 19-13 at intermission.
Although Long Beach State shot 18.5 percent in the first half, its solid defense kept it in the game as Cal Poly made just 20.8 percent of its attempts. Hudson led the 49ers with six points and four rebounds in eight minutes of action.
After trading baskets to start the second period, Meneses hit a pair of 3-pointers to spark a 9-4 run that brought LBSU within three (27-24) at the 14:28 mark. Cal Poly responded with six unanswered points, opening up a 34-24 advantage, but Long Beach State chipped away again, cutting the deficit to 34-33 following a Spargo jumper. The 49ers went on to tie it up at 37-37 on a driving layup by Chantel Dooleywith 8:51 remaining.
LBSU continued on an 8-2 run, capped by back-to-back 3-pointers from Spargo, to go on top, 45-39, with 5:39 to play. The Mustangs reclaimed the lead at 46-45, but the 49ers pulled back ahead on a Moorer jumper. After Cal Poly's Kristina Santiago missed a pair of free throws, Meneses' jumper gave Long Beach State a 49-46 advantage with 30 seconds left.
The Mustangs had the ball and called a timeout with 16.9 seconds on the clock. The inbounds pass went to Ashlee Burns, who was fouled in the act of shooting. She missesd both of her free throws, but Santiago got the put back with 12 seconds remaining. With LBSU up, 49-48, the Mustangs were forced to foul and Dooley sank a pair of clutch free throws for the 51-48 win.
Santiago, who was recently named the Big West Player of the Year, scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for Cal Poly.
Long Beach State will face either No. 5 seed Pacific or No. 6 seed UC Santa Barbara in the Big West Tournament championship game on Saturday, March 10, at 2 p.m. The winner earns the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Lori, I work for a major Oil Co. in USA and we would like to use
the trial-version of Maximo Everyplace, but first please answer a
couple of questions:
-We are currently running the 7.1 version of Maximo. You mentioned that to avoid our license to expire we need to install the free trial in a different environment. What exactly do you mean by that. Our company has operations everywhere but the Maximo servers are located nowhere close from where I am. Can I install the free trial without affecting our license expiration date. The less I want to do is shutdown our operations worldwide.
-Where can I get the free trial installation guidelines. I have downloaded the .zip file but I don't see any guidelines on how to install.
Maximo Everyplace is Now Available - check out trial code offer!

Today's entry comes from Lori Landesman, Product Designer/Architect for IBM Maximo Everyplace.
Maximo Everyplace is finally available to the public! The product had its general release (a product bar mitzvah, if you will), on August 27. As a reminder, Maximo Everyplace provides access to Maximo via certain mobile browsers. When you buy the product, you get extra Application Designer features to make designing for small, mobile touchscreens easier so that your users can use Maximo from their smartphones or tablets, wherever they have connectivity.
Maximo Everyplace has been available as a limited release for a year now, but only for iPhones and iPod touches. With the general release, we've expanded device support to iPads as well as devices running the Android operating system at version 2.1 or higher. In addition, Everyplace is now available in all the same languages as Maximo.
The other exciting new development is that you can try Maximo Everyplace without having to purchase it. We've put together a trial-version package that includes IBM Maximo Asset Management and Maximo Everyplace so that you can download it, configure some apps and then use them on your smartphone or tablet. When you download the trial version, you get 90 days of usage. After that, you won't be able to log in anymore. Because of the expiring license, you'll need to install this in a separate environment from any Maximo products you currently have so that they don't expire, too. And, to use the trial version, you'll already need to have an app server and database up and running; those aren't included in the install. If you want to give it a whirl, you can download the trial version.
Both the trial version and the official product ship with two sample XMLs that demonstrate the kind of UI design that we think works well for Maximo when it's going to be used on a small touchscreen. One is a scaled-down version of the Work Order Tracking application that's intended to be used by a maintenance manager, for example, who might want to change status on work orders wherever he is. The other sample application is a self-service application that someone could use to report a problem they encounter, like a leaking pipe in a building.
When I talk to
potential customers, I hear about a range of users for Everyplace, as
well as numerous apps they're considering configuring for workers who
have smartphones and tablets, and the connectivity to access Maximo
from a range of locations. Are you interested in using Maximo this
way? How do you want to use Maximo when you're not at your desk? Let me know your thoughts by commenting on this blog entry......

Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Isabella Rossellini on the Birds and Bees
'Green Porno' Series Comes to the Stage
Isabella Rossellini's coming show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, "Green Porno: Live on Stage," explores the mating behaviors of animals, but despite its provocative title, the actress says she's more interested in "the diversity of how many ways there are to reproduce" than sex.
Ms. Rossellini, 61 years old, conceived of the one-woman show and co-wrote it with French screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière based on the "Green Porno" video series that she helped produce for the Sundance Channel in 2008.
In the show, which will play at the BAM Fisher Theater from Jan. 16-25, she performs the reproductive rituals of such animals as the bee, praying mantis, snail and shrimp. She will take part in a post-show artist talk on Jan. 21.
Born in Italy, Ms. Rossellini now lives in Bellport, Long Island, and is studying for her master's degree in conservation and animal behavior at Hunter College. She spoke with the Journal about "Green Porno," theater versus film and her quiet life in the country.
How did you become interested in the sexuality of animals?
When I did my "Green Porno" [videos] I didn't do them only on sexuality, but the first series of 20 episodes were about how animals reproduce. I did it because I know people are interested in sex. The series turned out to be very successful, and then I did a second series called "Seduce Me" about all the different strategies to seduce. Some animals sing, some dance, some put up colors, some fight. So we did a whole series on seduction techniques, and then we did a new series called "Mammas" about different ways of parenting. Although the other series were called different names, the public always calls them "Green Porno," so we kept the name also for the theater.
How will the stage version differ from the video series?
It's written as a monologue, so it is an hour and 15 minutes, and I've written it with a known writer called Jean-Claude Carrière, a name everybody knows in France. He's wonderfully talented, so I was very lucky that he helped me write it. I'm on stage alone, and sometimes there will be some of the films on as decoration. Sometimes I stop and show a clip. But most of the time I just speak. Hopefully, I'll make people laugh.
What is your life like in New York?
I live in Long Island, but I take courses here in New York. I live in a little village called Bellport. I'm on the South Shore in Suffolk County. I live in the country, and I have a little farm, so I have some chickens, pigs, rabbits, dogs.
Can you describe the costumes in the show? I saw one video of you as a snail.
I have these leotards that I wear. The snail has a very big foot, because that's what they slide on. The rest of the body is very small. It's me with an enormous foot. Most of them start with a close-up of me saying "If I were…" and then I say the name of the animal. Then I transform myself into the animal, and if it is the snail, then you see a wide shot of me. I say "I have one big foot"—I have a leotard on, colored skin, but I have an enormous foot. I twist my body into a yoga pose, like a pretzel, and I will live inside the shell. That's how I become the snail, and then I say how they mate. Generally speaking, I tried to transform myself into the animal with these extravagant costumes.
What's the reaction been like so far?
It is the reaction we wished for, which is I see myself as an entertainer. I don't see myself as a scientist or somebody with a message. I want to make people laugh, and they certainly seem to have laughed a lot in the performances we've done so far. I also want people to say, "Oh, I didn't know that," and that seems to be the reaction.
Do you sometimes imagine what your life would be like if you lived in the wild?
I wouldn't want to reincarnate into a wild animal, because most of them are suffering loss of habitat, or they are hunted down. A lot of them are being exterminated. But I think I would like to be a dog, because dogs become human best friends, and there are many of them. They live in our apartments, they have a garden. They seem to have a good life in comparison to wild animals.

The Milwaukee County Zoo has announced the arrival of two jaguar cubs.
These are the first jaguar cubs displayed at the zoo since 1975, according to a statement.
The cubs were born here Nov. 13 to Stella, and father Pat. They are nursing, sleeping and "even hissing and scratching," according to the statement. They will be visible to the public via video feed, any time the zoo is open, said spokeswoman Jennifer Diliberti. See the Milwaukee County Zoo jaguar cam here.
"We always wait a few weeks to announce a significant birth to make certain that the cubs are viable and healthy, and that the mother is taking proper care of them," she said.
The cubs will nurse until they are 5 or 6 months old, and will sample meat at about 5 weeks of age.
The zoo said the birth is significant in that the cubs' father, Pat, is a rescued, wild-born jaguar and "considered a founder to the population."
"Pat now only brings new genes to the captive jaguar population, but serves as an ambassador to the wild population and to the conservation of the species," according to the statement. Pat is 14 years old.
The cubs will receive their first exams and vaccines at about six weeks of age, and at the same time their sexes will be determines. They both weight less than 6 pounds, but are steadily gaining weight, the zoo said.
The video can be viewed at the Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Building at the zoo, and will be available on the zoo's web site, milwaukeezoo.org, in early January.

In an inexplicable worldwide event, forty-seven extraordinary children were spontaneously born by women who'd previously shown no signs of pregnancy. Millionaire inventor Reginald Hargreeves adopted seven of the children; when asked why, his only explanation was, "To save the world." These seven children form The Umbrella Academy, a dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers. Their first adventure at the age of ten pits them against an erratic and deadly Eiffel Tower, piloted by the fearsome zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel. Nearly a decade later, the team disbands, but when Hargreeves unexpectedly dies, these disgruntled siblings reunite just in time to save the world once again. * This oversized limited-edition hardcover features an expanded sketchbook with concept designs and original artwork; commentary from the artists; and the short story from the hit 2007 Free Comic Book Day issue.Tags: random, cups, pregnancy, superheroes, mugs, limited edition, coffee cups, hardcover, comicbooksAdded 8 Years Ago from Tfaw

Variety - The Children's Charity of Wisconsin
Rating: 4.97 stars 64 64 reviews 5,506
12425 Knoll Rd. Suite 110 Elm Grove WI 53122 USA
Providing life-enriching assistance to Wisconsin children challenged by physical disabilities.
Target demographics:
Variety serves Wisconsin children who are challenged by physical disabilities, 21 years of age and younger and whose needs are not met by other sources, including family, school, insurance and service program resources.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
In 2014, we directly helped 34 children get the durable medical equipment, therapy and services they needed and purchased approximately $56,000 through our Freedom Program. We hosted 34 events through the Future Kids program with more than 2,050 participants. We hosted 18 families for Chatter Matters! Communication Camp.
Geographic areas served:
The Variety Freedom Program encompasses mobility, communications and experiences. The Freedom Program exists to help children with physical challenges obtain confidence, freedom and independence by funding durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers, van lifts, house ramps, adaptive car seats and strollers, specially-equipped bicycles and tricycles, bath equipment and stair lifts, for those with the greatest financial need. The Variety Future Kids Program provides memorable educational and play experiences that would likely be inaccessible to children with physical challenges due to mobility or financial restrictions. The program takes children and their immediate family members on fun, free outings.
Chatter Matters! Communication Camp is a residential camp for children who use speech generating devices and their entire family to become better communicators in a fun, traditional camp setting.

Reviews for Variety - The Children's Charity of Wisconsin
Chatter Matters is a great organization that has really impacted our family. We enjoy the many activities that are offered and the opportunity to learn more about our child's device. We are able to attend events that we normally could not afford. THANK YOU Chatter Matters and keep up the great work!!!!
2015 was my family's first year experiencing Variety! The staff is really nice and welcoming. My family enjoyed a few Buck's games and we also attended the Chatter Matters camp, which was great!!! We look forward to attending many more Variety events!!! The Baker Family:)
AMAZING STAFF ! They work with their hearts and their minds intertwined to help children with limiting abilities become more independent in communication, in the community and physically.Our family is super grateful for all the FUTURE KIDS events that get us out into the community and our child socializing, communicating and involved . Thank you variety for being a bright spot of accessibility and HOPE !
We have been involved with Variety for 3 years, now. They have helped us tremendously with many aspects of having a special needs child. From communication device, to an adaptive bicycle. Not to mention the fun events!
Our youngest daughter, Kira, was diagnosed at age 2 with Rett syndrome, after losing her ability to stand, talk and use her hands functionally. She has used a low tech communication book (PODD) for 6 years and 2 years ago started using her Tobii, a speech generating device she controls with her eyes. We were able to attend the Chatter Matters camp this summer and have so much to be grateful for. The camp was structured to offer Kira a camp experience, much like her siblings, but with significant emphasis on creating opportunities for her to utilize her communication device in meaningful, engaging situations, while meeting new friends and having fun. The staff was amazing! There were students who are going into the speech pathology profession, working side by side with veteran speech pathologists and other professionals. Our days were filled with activities and staff were right there to help. Parents were offered opportunities to meet with specialists while kids were actively engaged in activities with so many volunteers. Kira requires 1:1 attention and I felt comfortable going to the parent sessions while others cared for and interacted with her.
The camp was a time for Kira to be included in all activities with other children. Siblings attended and were engaged as well.
It's not often Kira participates in something that I can stand back and let go of my worries. I am usually trying to adapt whatever "typical" activity is going on, but here was a place Kira fit in, and camp was ready for her.
I appreciated the time spent learning from and sharing experiences with other parents who "get it". Although our children are different, we all understand the intensity of raising a child with special needs, advocating for their needs and trying to find solutions to any number of situations. Kira left camp with a stronger understanding of how to use her communication device, and a treasured week of camp memories she has shared with her 3rd grade class. I left camp with new circle of friends, a bonus I hadn't anticipated. Thank you Variety, for the opportunity to participate in Chatter Matters!
We received a wheel chair lift for our home from variety a few years back. It has been a god send to our family we are able to take our son to many events with other variety families with such ease along with everyday life events.
My son Nicolas is a loving 4 yr old at the age of 5 months he was injured and diagnosed with Non accidental brain injury. Since moving to Wisconsin Variety has allowed my other children and Nicolas to participate in dream nights such as the bucks games, and admirals games along with the ren faire these are things that with a child of special needs we as a family can not possibly find the extra money to spend on things like this. As we are busy buying items for Nicolas' care and as toys for him that are adaptive to him and his needs. Variety has allowed us as a family to offer a childhood to our other 2 children that in the light of Nicolas injuries we would have been unable to provide and still provide the best for Nicolas.

Many dream night activities. With out the hard work of the people at Variety my family and I would not have met some great families struggling with the same things and matters that we do and they have helped point us in the right direction for many opportunities
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
See that these fine ladies that run this organization had a bit more help in the office.

So excited about future activities and family out reach.We attend the holiday move last year and was very impressed with everyone.We have 3 kids with special needs and are hoping to connect with more families.
Thanks Variety.
Thank you Variety for all that you do to help special needs children and their families! My daughter Adalyn was the lucky recipient of a new adaptive bike from Variety! We actually are going tomorrow afternoon to pick it up, Can't wait!
Because my daughter has Down Syndrome, we've been able to take part in many of the sponsored events Variety has been able to offer our family. We've gone to events that we never would have been able to take part in otherwise. Blue Lotus Farms, Christmas party at Marcus Cinema, sporting events, plays, and the list goes on. Thank you for making life more enjoyable by providing outlets for our "special" daughter! -Jackie Marz

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
We are new to Variety and have only been to one event, but that one event was amazing! Being around families just like ours and being able to relate to them was just amazing and at no cost to us! We receive emails for other amazing free events that our family wouldn't normally be able to afford due to medical bills. We look forward to attending many more events with Variety with our family!
Great organization, really helped my disabled daughter feel part of the community! We have been to several different events, brewers game, Bucks games etc that we could have not paid for ourselves.
They offered a great birthday party, piano bar, lots of fun hints all over the area:)
