I just love Pinterest! I have found so many creative ideas like date night ideas for my husband and me, new recipes to try and an abundance of craft projects.
Speaking of crafts, one of my favorite boards to add "pins" to is my Compassion board.
On this board I have been able to pin many paper ideas to make for our sponsored kids.
Pinterest is a wonderful place for us to connect as sponsors and share letter writing ideas. Building on the online letter writing event that Compassion has on the second Friday of every month, we've created a new Pinterest board for letter writing and you are welcome to join us as a contributor.
Each month we will select a theme and give you some suggested questions to ask your sponsored child based on the theme. Plus, we'll offer a link or two for a paper craft that would go well with the theme.
This is a community Pinterest board and we would love for you to pin ideas that go along with each theme. It could be another craft project, a Bible verse or an encouraging quote that would be great to share with your sponsored child.
Since Mother's Day is just around the corner, that is our theme for the month of May.
How about asking your sponsored child some of these questions:
- What is something your mom always says to you?
- What is your mom's favorite thing to do?
- What do you and your mom do together?
- What is your mom's favorite Bible verse?
- What makes you proud of your mom?
Now how about a couple of crafts to go along with these questions?
Send your sponsored child this paper crown to color and give to his or her mom so she can be queen for the day.
What mom wouldn't love hearing all these things from her child?
Ready to join our new Pinterest Second Friday Letter Writing Club?
Send us an email at email@example.com – please give us the link to your Pinterest profile so we can invite you to start pinning with us on this new board.
We hope you will join us to inspire each other to write to our sponsored children each second Friday of the month!

Latest news for qualaquin
--Article submitted by Elizabeth Brushwyler, PT As a physical therapist, I often see people in the community doing things that make me cringe, such as lifting too heavy of an object, poor sitting posture, or an awkward gait pattern. I usually [qualaquin] am able to keep myself in check and mind my own business, but there is one asymmetry that I always tend to point out, which is plagiocephaly qualaquin, or flat head syndrome in infants. With the beginning of the Back to Sleep campaign in the early 1990's, to address SIDS in infants, the cases of plagiocephaly have increased five-fold. A flat spot on the head usually is the result of an infant spending too much time in one position, which causes the bones of their skull to flatten. Left untreated, this can become permanent and can affect facial features as well, leading to asymmetry. Plagiocephaly can also be a result of torticollis, which is a shortening in muscles in the neck. Torticollis can be treated by a physical therapist, and should be brought to your doctor's attention, if you notice your baby's head is always tilted or turned consistently to the same side. Every baby's head is a bit asymmetrical after birth, but should be able to round itself by about 6 weeks after birth. For mild cases, treatment involves alternating sleep positions and some strengthening exercises instructed by a physical therapist. Tummy time is encouraged while awake, and limit time on the infant's back other than when sleeping. Also limit the infant's time spent in swings, bouncy seats or car seats. At all times, I recommend informing the child's pediatrician and taking pictures to document any changes. With early intervention, the skull is able to qualaquin remold. However, if the flattened area is significant, a referral to a specialist is warranted to decide if a cranial remolding helmet or band should be prescribed. While the term plagiocephaly sounds ominous, the treatment is very effective and most children fully recover. When in doubt, always seek the help of a medical professional.If you have questions about plagiocephaly or any other concern regarding the development of your child, call us at 1-800-385-1877 or e-mail us at info@isishealthcare. net.

Up, Up and Away!
THE PARTY The city's fairer sex gathered for an empowering red-carpet luncheon and afternoon of power networking at The Beverly Hilton. The occasion toasted philanthropic and professional accomplishments, honoring Step Up teens, influencers and members alike. This year's honorees included Trina Turk, Nina Jacobson and Julie Bowen. THE SCENE Following a networking meeting and a handbag and jewelry silent auction, the movers and shakers poured into the ballroom for a three-course lunch and plenty of tear-jerking moments. Step Up's Class of 2013 took to the stage to announce their college acceptances and to share the impact of the program on their lives. The words were not lost on the audience; a television screen displayed the generous donations, totaling more than $65,000, texted by attendees throughout the event. THE HIGHLIGHTS "Before Sheryl Sandberg was telling women to 'lean in,' Kaye Popofsky Kramer was telling them to 'step up,'" said Bowen during her acceptance speech, in admiration of the organization's founder.

The International Planning Committee (IPC) has been engaged since January, 2011 in a planning process to develop a plan of internationalization for the university. Over 75 faculty, administrators and students have served on the IPC and its working groups, examining the current state of internationalization at the university, identifying best practices, projecting future trends and developing strategic university-wide goals. Further input has been received through interviews, campus forums and meetings with many other faculty, administrators and students. The IPC has worked hard to keep members of the university community aware of its work. It now wants to be sure all members of the campus community have a chance to comment on the draft Plan for Internationalization.
A draft of the Plan for Internationalization is available in our download center for comment by the campus community. Please send comments, to firstname.lastname@example.com. Your thoughts and input are welcome.

The armed robber who broke into a home in the Woodmill Apartment complex was forced to leave empty-handed after the victim escaped and called police.
The break-in occurred at 7:10 p.m. Friday, May 24, in Building I of the multi-unit apartment complex on 1300 S. Farmview Drive, said Dover Police Department spokesman Lt. Daniel McKeown.
The victim said the burglar kicked in the apartment door, armed with a sawed-off shotgun and demanded money. Instead, the victim jumped off a second-story balcony and alerted police. The burglar fled immediately; nothing was missing from the apartment, McKeown said.
The burglar apparently tried to force his way into another apartment in the same building, but was not successful, McKeown added.
The burglar is described as a thin black man, standing 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with information on these crimes is asked to contact Dover Police at 736-7111 or through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333 or online through www.tipsubmit.com.
Persons leaving tips may remain anonymous.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Momof4 Nice quality for the price These stools are nicely made for the price. They are sturdy and wipe clean easily. They don't seem to tip easily, which is important with my 18 month old always climbing on them. They may not last forever, but as a mom of 4 they are great for this phase of life. January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ak80 Great height and very comfortable We purchased the counter height stools to go along our entended countertop in our kitchen. The seating is comfortable, a great height and our whole family loves sitting in them. A great buy. Very sturdy. October 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by benzo Pretty good I like the look of these stools, but the materials didn't fit together very well and I've had to tighten up some of the bolts and screws in the month or so that I've owned them. The felt on the bottom of the legs wasn't applied very evenly, and it makes the chair a bit wobbly. They're comfortable to sit on and look nice in our kitchen, I just wish they were a little better quality for the price I paid. April 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SaraMarie On the low side The seat height is only 23", which is definitely on the low side for a counter-height stool. I feel like a little kid when I sit on them — perhaps I should sit on a phone book to boost up a bit! They look awesome, and if they were about two inches taller from floor to seat, they would be perfect. I wish I would have known they were so short before I bought four chairs and had them assembled. Now I'm stuck with them. July 9, 2013

The Huffington Post is reporting that the MLB is receiving pressure to drop former Fox News host Glenn Beck from their programming due to his prior controversial comments. MLB Advanced Media, the digital rights arm of Major League Baseball, streams GBTV, where Beck touts "the truth lives here."
The group protesting Beck and the MLB is called Americans United for Change and they launched a website called Strike Out Beck. The website features Beck's most controversial remarks and fans can sign a petition pressuring the MLB to drop him. The group will also launch a Facebook ad campaign in big baseball towns like St. Louis, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Orlando.
To be honest, I've haven't watched a single episode of Glenn Beck's prior show on Fox. And I'll be more than happy to skip his online show.
That being said, I think this launch to get Beck off online streaming is a waste of perfectly good energy. Why should Glenn Beck critics waste time fighting the people who chose to buy and listen to his programming? It's not on a major network for goodness sake.
There are starving children in America and Africa. We have soldiers dying overseas everyday fighting in a war that I can't comprehend. People are losing their homes and jobs, we have a morally corrupt society that transforms sex-tape "victims" into reality stars and a professional sports system in America that can't seem to keep it together without having lockouts every 5-10 years.
It costs $9.95 a month to subscribe to Glenn Beck's show and $99.95 for a yearly subscription. But the cost to skip Glenn Beck's ranting is absolutely free.

MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (March 9, 2014) – The ETSU men's golf team returns to action this week as the Bucs begin play at the General Hackler Championship on Monday from the TPC Myrtle Beach.
ETSU tied for ninth with Missouri, UNC Greensboro, and then-No. 32 SMU at the Puerto Rico Classic, which was held two weeks ago at the Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa's River Course.
The Bucs were led by sophomore Chris Hickman (Centreville, Md.) as he tied for 16th after totaling a 4-under-par 212 (73-68-71) for the tournament.
Freshman Mateusz Gradecki (Oborniki Śląskie, Poland) looks to build off his final round score of 1-under 71, while sophomore Adrian Meronk (Wroclaw, Poland) finished the Puerto Rico Classic at 2-under-par 214 (75-69-70) and tied for 27th.
The two-day tournament will be held at the TPC Myrtle Beach, which is home of the Coastal Carolina golf team. The course is a par-72, 6,950-yard layout.
The first two rounds will begin with a shotgun start on Monday at 9:00 a.m. The final round of the tournament concludes Tuesday morning at nine o'clock.
Kent State and Tennessee won a share of the team title in 2013 as they registered a team score of 9-over-par 873.
ETSU won the 2006 and 2010 General Hackler Championship team titles, and placed fifth in the tournament a year ago. Hickman (T14th) and Meronk (T17th) both recorded top-20 finishes in 2013.
The Bucs will be joined by host Coastal Carolina, Duke, East Carolina, Iowa State, Kent State, Lamar, Louisville, MTSU, North Carolina, Northern Illinois, and UNC Wilmington.
Kent State (No. 22) and Iowa State (No. 47) are both ranked in the top-50 of the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings, while five of the teams were either 2013 NCAA Regional or NCAA Championship participants. Coastal Carolina and Kent State appeared in the NCAA Championships, and Duke, North Carolina and UNC Wilmington made the NCAA Regionals.
Joining Meronk, Hickman and Gradecki in ETSU's lineup are Rhys Pugh (Pontypridd, Wales) and Gudmundur Kristjansson (Reykjavik, Iceland).
Junior Tom Heggarty (Cheshire, England) will compete as an individual.
The Bucs will be paired with Coastal Carolina and North Carolina on Monday.
Live scoring of the tournament can be accessed via GolfStat.com.

Post subject: Political IQs
I heard a fragment of a conversation recently that sparked some thoughts.
IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is a sometimes controversial measurement. The conventional IQ is a fairly decent measure for ability to do well in the modern Western school system (which is pretty much what it was created for), but it is often misused. Many people have pointed out that IQ does not measure emotional intelligence, manual dexterity or kinesthetic skills, social intelligence, and many other facets of the complexity of well-rounded people. IQ testing can also have problems such as cultural biases.
The conversational fragment I heard was a reminder that the IQ uses a scale normalized to have an average value of 100. This means that by definition half of the population will have "below average" IQs and half of the population will have "above average" IQs. The distribution of IQs follows the classic bell curve seen in many statistics--heavy in the center and trailing off at extreme values.
The new thought was: everyone must have a POLITICAL IQ, and these IQs also must fit a bell curve. This would explain a lot of what I find so baffling about modern politics, especially how politicians who are clearly bad for their constituents keep getting elected and why there is so much appealing to lowest common denominators. A large chunk of the population really does have trouble understanding politics and seeing through politicians' lies!

But don't you think some of the problem is the people who choose to run for office? One's political IQ doesn't help much when the candidates offered aren't up to scratch. Then the only help one's political IQ can offer is to decide which candidate is the least likely to cause problems, sort of like the educated guesses one makes on a standard t/f exam.

Yes, the U. S. two-party system too often leaves voters with no better choice than the lesser of two evils. Primaries, especially Republican, block any moderates, putting extreme right-wing candidates in the final elections. Heavy gerrymandering all over the country protects incumbents.
The most recent decennial redistricting in California was done by a citizen's commission instead of by the legislature, and it made several races more competitive by reducing the gerrymandering.

I had an afterthought to my previous post that I finally wrote down.
The lesser of two evils choice in general elections depends on lack of exercise of Political IQs during primary elections. If enough political intelligence was exercised early enough, partisan extremists wouldn't get through the primary process because everyone can see how bad they are for the country. As it is, too many voters accept extremists because the voters don't look behind the candidates' masks. Being a member of one's church is no guarantee of good behavior, as the many pedophile priest scandals of recent decades have shown. In a similar vein, the unsealing of decades of Boy Scouts of America perversion files is unmasking even more supposedly upstanding citizens.
Voters need to stop assuming any candidate will be a good office-holder because they are a member of any in-group and start asking:
Will this person's stated policies be good for the city, county, state, country, humanity, or the world?
If this person can't be pinned down to clear statements, can they be trusted with any power?

Yeah, I agree that voters, even in primaries, should pay attention. But the same problem arises in primaries as in general elections, for the candidates are usually chosen by the parties and again one has only those to choose between or amongst. One can always write in a choice, of course, but that's usually not very effective, either, for in a way, it's throwing one's vote away: It won't influence much of anything. Making a choice between two candidates, neither one of which one thinks is really very good, at least gives one a chance of getting someone better than the worse of the two or three on offer.

One reason for voting in primaries is that some localitiestowns, counties, state representative districtsare so overwhelmingly one party or the other that the only local election that matters is the primary. (Of course, it can be more than a little difficult to get any information about such races.)
As for extremism, Mark, you might remember that a position that is viewed as extremist may nonetheless be right, or at least beneficial. The classic example is the Abolitionists. And the way they make their position known and win support for it, making it less "extreme," is by fielding candidates.

Abolitionists were idealists, seeing the world as it was and saying it could be better. "Better" requires a framework or basis for definition. Many people's frameworks are based on religious books written hundreds to thousands of years ago in specific cultures. (E.g., the Old Testament and New Testament can both be described as anthologies that took several centuries to be written a couple millennia ago, and the Koran as a single-author collection written several centuries more recently.) When those books are approached with an open mind and awareness of modern reality they contain much value, but when they are used rigidly much harm can ensue. For some mention of Utilitarian ethics (one non-religious system), see the older "Change" and "Volume versus Validity" threads on this board.
Many modern political and religious extremists refuse the see the real world and insist that it must conform to their beliefs. Most extremists see themselves as idealists, but for me the key difference is the connection to reality. (Yes, I am aware that philosophical Idealism raises questions about the nature of reality, making this use somewhat dissonant.) For some discussion about facing facts, see the older "Reality, science and climate" thread on this board. The current Geriatric Oligarchic Palefaces U.S. political party (a name I suggest despite being a white male in my 50s) has veered far from reality, as demonstrated in the recent election when their pundits insisted on predicting clear through election day that they would win the presidency, while a number of people who chose to base their work on statistical evaluation of real numbers gave very accurate predictions of the final votes. A comment I heard on the radio recently said, in effect, that in U.S. politics it is time to admit that the GOP *is* the problem.

Smyrna Town Council was presented the results of the August Route 13 Design Week at Monday night's council meeting. The draft plan was initially presented in an open house Aug. 24 at Belmont Hall.
The Route 13 Design Week was done in Smyrna in conjunction with the State Office of Planning, DelDOT, and the Dover/Kent County MPO and is considered a pilot study on how to better integrate Route 13 with the towns the road passes through.
The result of the week-long workshops is an integrated approach for Route 13 in Smyrna from the northern Route 1 interchange to the southern interchange.
Betsy Mastaglio of McCormick Taylor, a land use and urban design group, presented the results.
The approach suggests mixed usage of retail spaces and open space, and retail and residential spaces. There could be better walkability with buildings right on the highway.
Councilman Bob Johnson compared the suggestions to the look of Chesapeake City in Maryland and that the changes would encourage drivers to slow down and take a look at Smyrna.
Mastalgio said the changes, which would be done over a period of time, would "let people know there's a place to visit here, to spend money here, to invest in."
While the results of the charette have been presented, the groups involved still need to formalize the suggestions in an official document. From there the document will be reviewed by Smyrna committees and eventually voted on by council.
Once the document is approved, it will be a tool for Smyrna to use to guide the development and upgrades by current and local businesses and developers to incorporate the plans in the document with their business plans. The plan will also need to be approved by other agencies such as the MPO.
Police station update
Council unanimously approved for Town Manager Dave Hugg to negotiate a contract with i3a consulting engineers to provide consulting construction management services for the town.
Councilwoman Valerie White was not at the meeting to vote on the motion.
The motion was made by Councilman Jeff Flairty in response to the previous council meeting where council approved the feasibility study for the police station expansion, with the stipulation the town put out RFQ's in hopes of receiving proposals for a cheaper expansion.

Other options might avoid prayer issues
Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 3:38 p.m.
Governmental boards need to pay close attention to legal actions in nearby counties concerning prayer before meetings. Both the Rowan County commissioners and Stokes County Board of Education face complaints from the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State, respectively, about sectarian prayers at their meetings. Forsyth County lost a case last year brought by the ACLU and dropped sectarian prayer at county board meetings.
No one has challenged prayer so far at the Davidson County Board of Commissioners or Lexington and Midway city councils. But taxpayers definitely don't want to be stuck having to pay legal expenses to defend their policies, money that could be better spent elsewhere. Thomasville holds prayer, but before the meeting officially begins, a procedure officials believe protects them from legal challenge. Other boards might consider that or switching to a moment of silence or nonsectarian prayer to avoid any potential of drawing attention from outside groups.
Bigger isn't always better, and state legislators need to remember that as they consider bills that would reduce the number of workforce development areas in the state. Davidson County has its own workforce development agency, DavidsonWorks. That allows for programs tailored to the needs of Davidson County residents. Moving Davidson County in with a larger area could dilute those programs or eliminate them altogether. The county recently learned it lost its micropolitan statistical designation from the federal government, which put it in the Winston-Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area, and now state legislators could head down the same path on workforce development.
Speaking of the federal government, the latest Census estimates provided some insight into the county's population. Davidson grew by 382 people from 2010 to 2012 — not much, but better than several other Triad counties that actually lost people. The U.S. Census Bureau says 163,263 call Davidson County home, making it the 15th most populous county in North Carolina. The slowing growth could actually be welcome news for county officials charged with providing services for residents.
Rep. Jerry Dockham, R-Davidson, should return a $2,500 campaign donation given by a man charged with operating a national gambling operation. Dockham had no way at the time to know Chase Burns would later find himself in legal trouble. But now that Burns is facing charges, Dockham should donate the same amount to charity as other legislators have done. It's simply the correct action to take.

Reviews for Hot Pepper Pleasers
"This is great! Made them on the grill, low and slow. Kept warm this way The go fast. I freeze peppers all the time. They are best used in recipes where they will be cooked somehow later. This one went into the personnel cookbook."
"[quote user="buffalonana"] If this isn't possible, how can a freeze them for use at a much later date?[/quote]I think you could halve and seed them, freeze them individually (like on a cookie sheet) and then take them out, fill them frozen and bake them. I don't think I'd freeze them filled, the cheese might not play nice with the freezer."
"I'd love to make this recipe for a party at the end of this month. The hot peppers are "ready" NOW. How can I keep them fresh until I want to use them? If this isn't possible, how can a freeze them for use at a much later date?"
"Wonderful!!! Did not have pepperoni (thanks hubby), did not have onion, but had all other ingredients and they were wonderful!!! Absolutely will make again - maybe with all the ingredients next time."
"I have made this a few times already, and will make it again. If you like it HOT, leave the seeds in! this is soooo good!"

Carjacking suspect gets new charges tacked on
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 8:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 9:19 p.m.
A woman accused of carjacking and stabbing an elderly woman has incurred additional charges and remains in jail, records show.
Michelle Marie Tessier faces new charges of fleeing and eluding law enforcement while disregarding the safety of people and property, giving a false name upon arrest and dealing in stolen property, records show.
Daytona Beach police said Friday night her charges were armed carjacking and aggravated battery on an elderly person.
Earlier that day about noon, Tessier asked 82-year-old Frieda Sanchez of Port Orange for a ride from a South Daytona gas station in the 900 block of Reed Canal Road to a Walgreens near the intersection of International Speedway Boulevard and Ridgewood Avenue, police said. Tessier told Sanchez she was having a medical emergency.
Upon their arrival at the Walgreens, Tessier pulled a steak knife out of her purse and attacked Sanchez while still inside the 1995 gold Nissan sedan.
Sanchez suffered a couple of non life-threatening puncture wounds and a cut, police said, but as she was pushed out of her car, Sanchez took a chunk of Tessier's hair with her, police said.
Tessier was caught in Port Orange late Friday afternoon and booked early Saturday morning into the Volusia County Branch Jail, where she is being held with no set bail, records show.
Sanchez could not be reached by phone Saturday evening.

Former Santa Rosa mayor and current city councilwoman Janet Condron officially breaks ground for the pipeline in June 2000.
While the city of Santa Rosa, Calif., needed to reduce the discharge from its water treatment plant into the Russian River, Calpine Geothermal needed water to replenish the aquifer feeding its geothermal steam fields. The solution seemed simple—build a pipeline to connect the city and the electric utility—but it proved to be complex. Between the two lay 30 miles of premier vineyards and 10 miles of rugged mountain wilderness rising 3300 feet above sea level.
During the growing season, Santa Rosa's recycled water is used to irrigate 6500 acres, but in winter, agricultural demand stops. In 1985, when rains didn't replenish the Russian River, the city exceeded its 1% of volume discharge limit after storage ponds overflowed. The North Coast Regional Water Board issued a cease-and-desist order requiring development of a weather-independent system to dispose of effluent from its Laguna Water Treatment Plant.
At its peak in 1987, the Geysers, the world's largest geothermal steam field, produced energy for 2 million households. As the aquifer feeding the steam field depleted, electricity production declined, supplying only 1 million households in 2000.
It would be 18 years and many options later before the 40-mile pipeline solution would be complete. One of the challenges to starting construction in 2000 was the public's lack of faith in the city's ability to solve the discharge problem, according to Dan Carlson, Santa Rosa deputy director of utilities.
"When we awarded the first construction contract in June 2000, we thought it key to break ground with a picture ceremony of our mayor at the controls of an excavator," said Carlson, "The pipe was on order and wouldn't arrive until September, but we didn't want implementation of the project to continue as a controversial issue in the coming election season."
Santa Rosa negotiated an agreement to share the project cost with Calpine Geothermal. The city would build the $184 million pipeline with low-interest State Revolving Fund loans and revenue bonds. Grants funded 2% of the project, while Calpine would build a $50 million water distribution and power system. When the pipeline became operational, Calpine would supply electricity for the three Mayacamas Mountains pumping stations, while Santa Rosa would pay for electricity at the Llano pumping station at the Laguna Treatment Plant.
"Since pumping the 11 mgd would require 8 MW annually to produce 85 MW of electricity, the project was economically feasible," said Bob Austin, Santa Rosa Geysers operations and maintenance coordinator.
Because this was the county's second largest public works project ever and its largest in 30 years, the city council wanted local contractors and suppliers to have a shot at the business. After meeting with local contracting and engineering associations, the city decided to divide the construction into 10 bid packages generally ranging from $15 million to $20 million each so local firms could compete for the work. Eight contractors, four of them from local Sonoma County, won the 10 contract awards.
"We knew we needed a national firm with significant resources for the design and construction management of this project and chose a team headed by CH2M Hill," said Carlson. Several local offices of consulting firm CH2M Hill partnered with Winzler & Kelly's Santa Rosa, Calif., office, and assembled a team including several local companies.
"The project could easily have stalled in implementation were it not for the strong technical expertise and the close teamwork with the client and between team members," said Jane Rozga, CH2M Hill construction manager

Here are answers to some common questions about ClearType.
ClearType is a technology for displaying computer fonts so that they appear clear and smooth. ClearType makes on-screen text more detailed and, therefore, easier to read for long periods of time without experiencing eye strain and mental fatigue. It works especially well when you're using LCD devices, including flat-panel monitors, mobile PCs, and smaller hand-held devices.
ClearType is turned on by default in Windows. But if for any reason it's turned off, you can turn it back on.
Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Window Color and Appearance. If the Appearance Settings dialog box is not displayed, at the bottom of the page, click Open classic appearance properties.
Click Effects.
In the Effects dialog box, select Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts.
Click ClearType in the list, and then click OK.
Whether you select Standard or ClearType from the list, you must have a video card and monitor that support a color setting of at least 256 colors. You'll get the best results with High color (24-bit) or Highest color (32-bit) support. You can change color quality in Display Settings in Control Panel.
Open Display Settings by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Display Settings.
ClearType was developed to make it possible to read on-screen text for longer periods of time. There's a big difference between reading many printed pages and reading the same amount of text on a computer screen, and researchers wanted to determine why. So they explored what typographical qualities allow the human eye and mind to recognize letters and transform them into words, sentences, and—ultimately—meaning.
They found that for reading to be sustainable, it needs to be a largely unconscious activity. If letters are too jagged or don't flow together into easily recognizable patterns, the reader becomes more focused on the individual characters and is distracted from grasping the overall meaning of the text. This is why on-screen reading can be tiring. ClearType smooths the appearance of letters so readers can focus on ideas rather than having to concentrate on the display.
To understand how ClearType works, you should first understand a little bit about on-screen graphics. Screen displays consist of pixels. Pixels also make up the different letter styles in each font.
Every pixel in a font has three parts: red, blue, and green.
ClearType improves resolution by turning on and off each of the colors in the pixel. Before ClearType, the entire pixel had to be turned on and off. This tighter control over the red, blue, and green fractions of a pixel can increase the clarity on an LCD monitor by up to 300 percent.
You can use either type of monitor, but you'll get the most benefit when you use an LCD monitor. This is because ClearType was made to work with LCD technology, which keeps specific pixels in specific places. ClearType takes advantage of pixels being in a fixed place by turning fractions of the pixel on and off. A CRT monitor doesn't work in the same way with ClearType because it uses an electron beam to excite, or move around, pixels, instead of keeping them stationary.
Still, you might experience some improvement in clarity when you use ClearType on a CRT monitor because ClearType smooths jagged font edges. This is called antialiasing.
Yes. You can use the online tuner to further adjust the legibility of on-screen items.
Go to the Microsoft typography website, and then follow the instructions for tuning ClearType.
Yes. This version of Windows features new fonts designed to work with ClearType, including Constantia, Cambria, Corbel, Candara, Calibri, and Consolas.
These fonts are located in the Fonts folder.
Open Fonts by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.

ZF-3513: The "remove" family of methods in Zend_Form et al should not return Boolean
The "remove" method family (Zend_Form::removeElement(), Zend_Form_DisplayGroup::removeDecorator(), Zend_Form_Element::removeValidator(), etc) should not return a Boolean but an Object. Either these methods should return the Object they remove or the Object on which the method is called, which is fairly standard behavior for pushing and popping Stack Objects. In languages where garbage collection is an issue, the Stack returns the object popped, so that it can be explicitly destroyed. In a language such as PHP where garbage collection isn't as much of an issue, the Stack should return itself, to allow additional method chaining on itself.
In the case of Zend_Form, this latter approach would be invaluable, as a developer could then perform an action such as:
$Form = new Zend_Form;
echo $Form;
Try Zend_Form::removeElement() after applying this patch. It returns the Zend_Form object, but throws an exception if you tried to remove an element that doesn't exist.
I meant to attach this diff rather than the whole class file.
That appears to do the job, although you may want to handle the Exception message differently, ie:
[code] throw new Zend_Form_Exception('Only form elements and groups may be overloaded; variable of type "' . $type . '" provided'); [code]
Or, alternately:
[code] throw new Zend_Form_Exception(sprintf('%s cannot remove nonexistent element: %s', getclass($this), $name)); [code]
This produces more portable code, IMO. Good job, though! Are we regular users permitted to submit patches? I know there's an official process for submitting new components and an agreement to sign, etc. Does the same process apply for patches?
Scheduling for next minor release
depends on refactoring for lazy loading (not entirely, but that's a good time to do it)
Fixed in r9919
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

A Wilmington firefighter arrested on a sexual assault charge in Virginia was fired from the Wilmington Fire Department last week, an official said Thursday.
Robert Thomas Hester, 35, is being held in the Fairfax County, Va., jail on suspicion of sexual penetration with an object by force or threat and intentionally damaging property.
He was initially arrested March 21 by Loudoun County on the property destruction warrant and then picked up by Fairfax County detectives on the sexual assault charge, said Don Gotthardt, public information officer for the Fairfax County Police.
Gotthardt said the alleged assault of the 35-year-old female acquaintance of Hester's reportedly took place at the Hyatt Hotel in Reston, Va., about 10:30 p.m. March 19.
Hester, who listed a home address in Elizabethtown with Fairfax police, has worked for the city since 2000, said Malissa Talbert, communications manager for the city of Wilmington.
Talbert said that after his arrest he was terminated April 15 from his position as a master firefighter at the Seagate Fire Station.
"Hester was terminated for violating city policy based on his inability to return to work," Talbert said. "According to city policy, employees cannot have more than three consecutive days of unexcused absences."
Talbert said Hester's visit to Virginia was not work-related.
Gotthardt characterized Hester's reason for being there as "sightseeing."

ZF-8799: Zend_Gdata_Gapps not using version 2 of the Provisioning API
The current version of Zend_Gdata library can only access version 1 of the API, but the currently supported version is version 2. (http://code.google.com/apis/apps/…)
Although version 1 continues to work, it is already deprecated.
Being version 1, the library does not support the concept of owners that is available in version 2.
Aside from making changes to the Gapps.php file, version 2 of the API involves a new extension. To accomodate for this, a Zend_Gdata_Gapps_Extension_Property class is created.
The main change from version 1 to 2 has to do with the change of email lists to groups, and differentiation between a member and an owner.
v1.zip (attachment) contains the files that are created/modified for this fix in the same directory structure with the base directory being Zend/Gdata/
Actual PHP files for fixing this issue.
Fixed by r22511.

Your health is critical and what better way to be proactive and become educated, than to attend a Free Health Fair at Edgewater Beach Resort.
Wednesday marked the '2nd Annual 2010 Health Expo' at the Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City Beach. The free event is open to the public and had quite the turnout, as hundreds of curious people showed up right as the doors opened at 10 a.m.
The first hundred people received a canvas bag filled with lots of goodies. Around 66 vendors from across the county set up informational booths in hopes to educate. Among the plethora of vendors, experts from Bay Medical Center and Gulf Coast Medical Center were on hand answering various health questions.
"That's probably one of the best benefits is to be able to talk one-on-one with a physician," said Rod Whiting, of Gulf Coast Medical Center. "It's alarming how many people do not have a primary care physician; it's important to have one, in order to detect issues before they become serious problems."
Those interested in giving blood were able to donate their blood inside the 'blood mobile' parked in front of the resort. The Bay County Health Department was also giving free H1N1vaccines.
NewsChannel 7's Nicole Morten spoke with Bryan Russell, of the Bay County Health Department, and he said, "Although the swine flu seems to be leveling off, which is a good thing, it's a good idea to be proactive, because you never know what to expect in the spring. We've vaccinated about 50 people so far today, and we have about 500 vaccines left, and anyone, two years or older, is welcome to receive a free H1N1 vaccine today," said Russell.
The Health Expo is Free to the public and will remain open until 6 Wednesday evening.

It seems Magic Hat #9 is all the rage around Central Florida lately. The craft beer from Burlington, Vermont just made it down south to Orlando and fans that enjoyed it while living or visiting up north are rejoicing its arrival.
A reader of my nightlife column, Danielle N. De Pari, recently wrote me about her appreciation of Magic Hat and how her boyfriend (who equally loves the brew) has been flying bottles of it down to Florida so they could both enjoy it. Well, now that it's here, they're pretty connected on where to find it and she shared with me a few of the locations. If anyone else knows of more please let me know so I can share. Thanks again Danielle!

Ye Shiwen
this wiki
|Ye Shiwen
|Best Events
|individual medley
|Olympics Attended
|Olympic Medals Won
|Personal Information
|1 March 1996
|Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
At only 16, she demolished older rivals – matching the times of male swimmers – to become the sensation of the Olympics.
But last night the parents of double gold medal winner Ye Shiwen conceded there was a 'cruel' side to their daughter's astonishing success.
They revealed that the 16-year-old supergirl is liable to burst into tears when she calls them from her pink mobile phone during rare breaks in her grueling training regime.
And of her phenomenal strength, her father confessed: 'Many times she has been turned away from the female changing rooms because she is mistaken for a boy. She likes to wear her hair short, to avoid as much as possible having to wear a swimming cap.'
His wife could not resist adding: 'I think she would be prettier with longer hair.'
Since the age of six, when she was plucked from primary school to join an elite sporting programme, Miss Ye's life has been party to China's insatiable drive to dominate world sports.
Yet smetimes, for a young girl, it just gets too much. Her father Ye Qingsong, 45, admitted: 'Last year, when she was high-altitude training in Yunnan Province, she called home in tears.
'She had struggled to acclimatise to the altitude. She was crying because she was performing poorly. We just told her not to push herself too hard, but it was very difficult.'
At least now, as a national heroine, Miss Ye – an only child – is allowed to phone home.
For three years, between the ages of 11 and 14, Communist Party apparatchiks demanded she surrender her cherished mobile so she could relentlessly devote herself to the pursuit of glory for her country.
During this lonely time, powering up and down the swimming pool for hours on end, she was allowed the phone only on Sundays.
Her mother, Ning Yiqing, 43, found this a particularly heart-wrenching time.
She said: 'As a mother, I sometimes felt as though I had lost her. I missed her so much. We were allowed to see her only once a week, and she was only 11. The house felt so empty.'
She dutifully added: 'But of course it was all worthwhile. We are so proud of her.'
Her husband explained that families such as theirs had to make 'sacrifices' to the Chinese state, because it was the government which was footing the bill for their children's Olympics training.
In the family's first full interview with Western media, he told me: 'Chinese people believe that we have to give in order to earn. Give time and effort.
Competitive sports are quite cruel, and we are competing for the best, so a tough regime is a must, if you want to get where you want to be.
'In the West, you pay a coach to turn you into an athlete. But in China, the state pays, so you have to sacrifice something in return.'
The couple live in a cramped second-floor apartment in a grey Communist Party housing block in bustling Hangzhou, a city of 8.7 million in eastern China.
The only furniture in the tiny living room is a small table and chairs, and a fridge-freezer adorned with a sticker collection which is the only sign that a child once lived there.
Mr Ye said his daughter had become mentally exhausted by the diplomatic storm following her triumphs in London, where she not only broke a world record to seize gold, but astonished observers by swimming even faster in the final 50 metres than the men's winner, Ryan Lochte.
Mr Ye rejected as 'offensive' the suggestion of respected US coach John Leonard that her performance was 'unbelievable' and 'disturbing' – hinting that doping was involved.
Miss Ye's parents have no doubts about the girl they nickname 'little ghost' – a term of mischievous endearment equivalent to 'little terror'.
'My little ghost has worked exceptionally hard all her life,' said her father. 'At times, it has been tough for her, but she has always wanted to do this.
'She has never once said she wanted to give up swimming, but there was a crossroads point when she joined the professional team, aged 11, and I told her, "This is a big decision. If you go forward with this, you will lose things along the way. It will change your life." She said , "I want to do this".
'So now I tell her, "You chose this path. If it is tiresome or hard, you have to persist".'
There are spine-chilling tales about China's ruthless sporting boot camps. Children who in Britain would be considered far too young to be driven so hard have reportedly been beaten by their coaches to maximise their achievements.
British Olympic oarsman Sir Matthew Pinsent, who investigated the methods of training young Chinese athletes, has described it as 'pretty disturbing'.
Miss Ye's family insist there was no such ill-treatment at the Chen Jing Lun Sports School she attended in Hangzhou, or anywhere else.
The school's vice-dean, Bo Ziyue, said yesterday that 120,000 candidates were whittled down to just 20 students.
'If you have 1,000 sprouts, it's easier that a tree will grow out of it. What other country can boast such a massive talent pool?'
Miss Ye's former coach, Wei Wei, added: 'She was very competitive and liked challenging older swimmers. This was at odds with her character outside the swimming pool, which was bashful and reserved.'
Her parents boasted that even in infancy, their daughter was destined for greatness. 'Her first cries were so loud and clear, I was convinced the baby must be a boy,' said her father. 'But I was very pleased to have a girl.'
Miss Ye weighed 7lb 13oz at birth. Her mother breastfed her for nine months before returning to her job in a Panasonic factory, where she still works as in the quality control department, earning £650 a month.
With her father also working long hours, as a tourist guide, baby Ye was packed off to the countryside to live for nearly four years with her maternal grandparents in a smallholding surrounded by cabbage patches and bamboo.
Her grandmother Zhang Zhengyu, 65, recalled: 'She had the biggest hands and biggest feet of all the children, and that's why she's a strong swimmer. She does look like a boy, and she played like a boy too, always in the dirt and falling off her bike, but she never once cried.'
On Tuesday, when Miss Ye's devastating speed left her opponents floundering as she glided to her second gold medal, Granny was watching live at 1am China time on the communal television in Guangming village (pop: 1,200). She and neighbours celebrated by clubbing together to buy fireworks.
Miss Ye's father said: 'When she won gold, we were very proud. But in truth, we expected her to do well because she had achieved very high results in training.
'Deep down, we knew she could win, but we didn't tell her because we didn't want her to feel the pressure of expectation.
'It is her first Olympics, and she is only 16.'
Spreading out 61 of his daughter's swimming certificates on his table, he said she had won 50 medals before the age of ten.
'She is naturally talented. She grew up with her grandparents in a rural area where there was space to run around, and she had wide shoulders.
'She had more of the character of a boy than a girl. She wasn't very delicate. When playing, she would fall down but she wouldn't cry. She had great strength and huge hands, even for a child. By the age of six or seven, she could do 20 pull-ups.'
Miss Ye's parents insist she is a normal teenager who likes reading crime novels and painting her nails.
'When she was 14 and 15, she went through a stage where her hormones were acting up and she was very anxious all the time, and refusing to talk to us,' said her father. 'She had no patience with anybody. It was quite hard to talk to her.'
Now, he said, he or his wife talk to their daughter every day.
'Although she has been away from us a lot, we felt OK because she called every day and kept us up to date. There were some off days, but she would tell us when she was sad.'
Right now, Ye Shiwen has every reason to be relieved, happy and proud of her awe-inspiring achievements. Whether she will be grateful to the Motherland in years to come remains to be seen.

Usually, a trip on a whale-watching boat is a glimpse into the beauty of nature, where people walk off the boats filled with joy and smiles.
But Tuesday, an excursion aboard Captain Dave's Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari was a sad look into the realities of wildlife as an adult bottlenose dolphin carried a dead dolphin calf on its back.
"I believe this calf has been dead for many days, possibly weeks," said Capt. Dave Anderson. "You can see the flesh is decaying. In my nearly 20 years on the water whale watching, I have never seen this behavior. Nor have I ever seen anything quite as moving as this mother who refuses to let go of her poor calf."
Click here to watch the video of the dolphin carrying the dead dolphin.
In the recap of the sighting, Anderson said the encounter "sends a powerful message about how much a dolphin can care, it is a window into a dolphin's heart."
The adult dolphin looks as if it is struggling to swim while keeping the carcass on its dorsal fin.
"We can assume this because dolphins do not normally swim with their dorsal fins sticking out of the water continuously like this bottlenose did," Anderson said.
Other dolphins surrounded the pair.
Tony Green, a spectator on the boat, said the sighting was a glimpse into how the dolphins feel, and how alike we are.
"The last thing I expected to see was a funeral procession," he said.
According to Anderson, scientists estimate that 308,000 dolphins and whales die every year worldwide because of fishing gear entanglement. Anderson organized Orange County's first whale disentanglement group in 2008 and has disentangled several gray whales, including Lily, whose disentanglement made national headlines. Anderson authored the award-winning book "Lily, A Gray Whale's Odyssey," a photographic journey of a gray whale's migration.

Outstanding CYO track and field athletes throughout the New York Archdiocese converged in Orlando, Florida. last week to beat the heat as well as competitors from across the nation. They ran so fast, jumped so high and threw javelins, discus and shot puts so far that many qualified to participate in the upcoming Junior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa.
In this Samson against Goliath reckoning, 45 members of Team CYO New York faced off against 12,000 top athletes to bring home 10 medals from the national AAU Team Championships. Nine of our athletes, including eight from Westchester County and one from Staten Island, won these honors at the weeklong event held at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.
Some of the standouts include Westchester County's Caroline Davis. This Holy Family CYO member initially scored first-place and broke the turbo javelin meet record in the process. Then, on her next throw, she broke her own record with a throw distance of 84 feet.
Meanwhile, Pedro Bravo from Iona Prep ran a smart, calculated race, pushing himself to the limits at the finish line to capture the 8th place medal. This qualified him for the Junior Olympics in the 1500 Meter Race with an impressive time of 5:00 in the 12-Year-Old Boys Division.
Then there was Shari Brown from Blessed Sacrament in Staten Island who brought home a medal for her eighth-place finish with a triple jump distance of 21′ 9".
And what about Liliana Gray from Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the only athlete to medal in two events. She earned a seventh-place finish in the Turbo Javelin with a throw of 38'2″and an eighth-place finish for a 16' 6″ shot put throw in the Ninth-Grade Girls Division.
"Our 45 athletes represented the Archdiocese, their respective schools, parishes and families with dignity and class," says Catholic Charities Director of CYO Operations Seth Peloso who accompanied the team.

We've all seen or at least heard of television programs that showcase and glamorize teen pregnancy (Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant). The show introduces innocent young women who find themselves in the predicament of an unplanned pregnancy and follows them through the drama of telling the boyfriend and the parents. Then we are there with them through the birth and the trials of taking care of a newborn, having no job, and dropping out of school. We catch ourselves criticizing the ignorant moms for not using the birth-control choices that were certainly introduced to them in high-school health classes.
Well, ladies, guess what? Even smart older women with careers and children can find themselves in similar predicaments. Yes, I am 42 and pregnant. I'm divorced with three kids aged 10, 14, and 16. I have been seeing a gentleman for nearly a year, and we have been so careful to use "protection." Then, there was the fateful night of December 27th. Said gentleman came over late at night. I was sleepy, and although I wanted to spend time with him, I just wanted to get the sex thing over for the evening. He didn't have a condom with him. I really didn't think much of it. After all, I'm 42. Not exactly in my prime as far as fertility goes. We spent our intimate time together and then fell asleep. I didn't give it another thought…until. My period was late. You see, this doesn't happen to me. I have had a very regular period since I was 11 years old — every 26 to 28 days.
My first thought was perimenopause. O.K. That would make sense. Then, as the days went by, I began feeling the all-too-familiar symptoms of the P word. Fatigue, sore breasts, and very frequent trips to the bathroom. Although in major denial, I decided to take a pregnancy test. A very, very, faint line showed up. O.K. Maybe it was a false positive. Hmmmm. After spending $60 on various brands of pregnancy tests, all of them showing faint positive lines, I decided to go to the doctor. I had an appointment late in the afternoon. One pregnancy test at the doctor showed positive, two showed negative. They sent me to the lab for two separate blood tests. The first one confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. The second blood test performed three days later showed that yes, the pregnancy is progressing. So much for denial.
The first person I told was my best friend Traci. She told me I was crazy, and if it were she who was pregnant, she would go directly to the clinic to eliminate the situation. Hmmm. That was a confidence builder. I was scared to death to tell the gentleman. He is also 42. We got together (once) in high school. Then reconnected on Facebook after my divorce. We began as friends with benefits but gradually got closer. He has three daughters ages 21, 17, and 14. He is a bit of a free bird, and I'm sure was never ever expecting to parent another child. He was in shock, but said he would do his best to take care of the baby and me. I'm a little bit leary about that.
I told my mom. Talk about feeling like a child. She fired off question after question. Yes, mom, we always use protection. Yes, mom, it was just one time. Yes mom, I'm as freaked out as you are. After a couple of days, she came around and is excited to be a grandma once again.
The kids were the toughest ones to have to tell. The youngest one still wants his dad and I to get back together so he took it really hard knowing that the baby belongs to someone other than his dad. My 14-year-old daughter cried for five minutes out of shock, I think. Then she became ecstatic at the idea of having a little sister (I didn't have the heart to tell her it may end up being a boy). My 16-year-old son was mad. I'm sure he was thinking I was as stupid as the teen girls who "get themselves knocked-up." For a moment, I was afraid that he was going to disown me. Thankfully, he has forgiven me, and we are good.

Uploading Mult-Page Content becomes Linked
When multi-page content is uploaded (such as a Word Doc, Powerpoint or PDF), it becomes multiple pages in the VyewBook (meeting space). Those multi-page documents also become linked. If you left-click on one of them, you will notice in the context-sensitive menu there is a red LINK icon.
When documents are linked, then resizing or moving them will affect all of them.
When mixing documents in one VyewBook
If you upload 2 separate documents into one VyewBook, each document has its own pages linked to themselves.
When you resize one page, all other pages of that particular document is resized, but not the other document.
