Estonian Open Air Museum
Exhibits show how Estonian homes developed from single longhouses to more sophisticated farmsteads. You can also see development in the use of building materials, from spruce and pine, which was used until the 20th century, to stone walls.
The Open Air Museum is surrounded by a wooded area, which you can walk through all the way down to the sea. During the summer, there are song and dance shows during the weekends, and on Midsummer Eve there are traditional celebrations, including a bonfire.
The onsite Kolu Kõrts café serves up traditional Estonian cuisine.
The museum is on the number 21 bus route and is open every day. A small entry fee applies.

New Stock Coverage: Is the Cupboard Bare at the Pantry?
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
On a day dominated by discussion of food stamps, Wall Street's check was in the mail.
(NYSE:WMT) dropped a
(INDEXDJX:.DJI)-worst 1.78% after blaming cutbacks in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for another set of iffy earnings. But equities overall posted a strong showing, with
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) advancing for a ninth session in ten after
(NASDAQ:FB) made a multi-billionaire of a
Ukrainian immigrant who was once dependent on the same low-and-no income lifeline
. Mark Zuckerberg's social network gained 2.31% despite not one, but
two rating reductions
by analysts who clearly felt $19 billion was a pretty penny to pay for a firm with $20 million in 2013 revenue. Indeed, the deal was the largest in the Internet industry since the ill-fated $124 billion combination of
AOL Inc.
(NYSE:AOL) and
Time Warner
(NYSE:TWX) in the last full year of Bill Clinton's presidency. When Bubba first ran for Commander in Chief in 1992, Pat Buchanan dismissed him as an Arkansas upstart whose "foreign policy experience was confined to having once had breakfast at the International House of Pancakes." A diss apparently best served cold, after IHOP owner
(NYSE:DIN) advanced 3.47% on a
broker boost
. 1992 was also notable for Woody Allen's acrimonious split with Mia Farrow. Yesterday,
his arch enemy
American Apparel
(NYSEMKT:APP) imploded 32.02%. The director once said, "I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens," and the clothing company clearly now has one foot in the grave.
This morning in economics, January existing-home sales are expected to fall from the prior month's pace at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. On the earnings front,
Charter Communications
Dish Network
(NASDQ:DISH), and
(NYSE:ECL) are the pick of today's quarterly announcements.
AV Homes
(NASDAQ:AVHI): Sterne Agee has a new Neutral on the real estate name. Its price objective is $18.
FleetCor Technologies
(NYSE:FLT): Shares are begun with a Buy, and $138 target price, at Jefferies.
Freescale Semiconductor
(NYSE:FSL): FSL is a fresh Buy at Dresdner.
Mattson Technology
(NASDAQ:MTSN): Hailing the stock's compelling valuation among other favorable factors, Cowen resumes coverage at Outperform. Its objective is $4.
Restoration Hardware
(NYSE:RH): BB&T Capital assigns a Buy on the equity, whose target is $73.
The Pantry
(NASDAQ:PTRY): This convenience store stock jumped 2.46% yesterday, but today Macquarie rates it no better than Neutral.
Whole Foods Market
(NASDAQ:WFM): The gourmet grocer gets assigned an Outperform ($63 objective) at Oppenheimer, which cites its good growth prospects in the lucrative natural and organic food category.

Additional federal funding is essential to returning the Long Island Sound back to health, environmental advocates and officials said Tuesday at a Congressional hearing in Washington, D.C. to assess the future of cleanup efforts already underway.
Fishing, boating and other recreational activities on and around the Sound that bring in an estimated $5.5 billion to the local economy have also contributed to poor water quality and a severe decline in the estuary's fish and lobster populations.
"The Long Island Sound and its watershed have sustained New York and Connecticut communities for hundreds of years," said Rep. Tim Bishop (D-Shouthampton), a member of the House Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment. "If we allow the Sound to further deteriorate, the very nature of what makes eastern Long Island the destination for so many will also deteriorate and will be very difficult if not impossible to rebuild."
The Sound has been losing the oxygen it needs to sustain marine life, a condition called hypoxia caused by pollution from the estuary's densely populated urban surroundings. Lobsters have been an extreme example of this trend.
"The few remaining lobstermen in the LI Sound are not optimistic about their future in the lobstering industry," said Nicholas Crismale of the Connecticut Commercial Lobsterman's Association. "What is happening to our lobsters now is something that is specific to the LI Sound."
In the years following a massive die-off in 1999, the value of the lobster harvest was reduced to less than $7 million from its $40 million value in 1997, according to the Subcommittee. Annual catches of almost 12 million pounds of lobster were reduced to less than two million pounds. Nitrogen from sources ranging from sewage treatment plants to everyday activities like driving, is the main offender, officials say.
"Anyone who flushes a toilet or drives a car has an effect on, or affects the Sound—its watersheds, rivers, streams, shores and living marine resources," said Mark Tedesco, director of the Environmental Protection Agency's Long Island Sound Office.
Many actions, including nitrogen removal, have improved the Sound for the past two decades. The outer portion of Hempstead Harbor, which has kept shell fishing off limits for more than 50 years, is in the final stages of re-opening. But advocates stressed much more needs to be done, like sewage treatment plant upgrades that can only be implemented with much-needed funding from Congress.
"For Long Island Sound, we are at a crossroads—the success of our past endeavors shows that actions can be taken to reduce hypoxia and restore healthful water quality," said Peter Scully, regional director for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. "In order for our past efforts to be successful, however, it's time for the states and local governments to redirect their efforts toward new—and in some cases very costly—efforts to reduce pollutant loads to the Sound."

Posted by Native NYker in anita baker, lately single, new music, r&b, radio city music hall on December 19, 2012
We have been waiting a good while for our childhood songstress Anita Baker to come out with some new tunes. For real y'all, we love her madly but at this point we can sing her tunes backwards. Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but y'all know what we mean – dammit. Lo and behold the rapturous wonder releases Lately single – available on ITunes
We must say that we were expecting a WHOLE new album – as in 8 to 10 new tracks – but we ain't going to bitch too heavily cuz its good to hear her smooth melodies once more.
Back in 07, we dutifully charged tix to her sold out post-Fourth of July concert at Radio City Music Hall and proceeded to wait on her exit after the show for some additional photos. (See more & hear track after the jump!) Read the rest of this entry »
Zarkana: Radio City Music Hall
Posted by Native NYker in Anatoly Zalevskiy, cirque du soleil, radio city music hall, zarkana on August 29, 2012
If there is one thing Cirque du Soleil can always manage to do is catch you off guard and make you gasp! If not with there staging then assuredly with the talent featured in their elaborate productions. Zarkana contains a few of those OMG moments – the Wheel of Death and Trapeze acts – that leave you gasping for air!
And the standout of the night goes easily to body artist Anatoly Zalevskiy, who steals the spotlight with his fusion of contortionist and gymnastic and leaves you wanting for more.
Having said that, the grand production is lacking the personal feel of the tent and ring that solidified the French Canadian's original spin on the classic circus show.
Sure, the general make-up has exponentially grown into with their popularity. So much so that their leap to stage productions has been met with Vegas building them a permanent set-up to best feature the talent; but Radio City ain't that the Vegas stage and, in the end, this leaves you feeling removed from whats transpiring on that huge ass stage.
But it is about the talent and the gasping, in the end and Zarkana manages to deliver on response from its audience – if only barely.
We are not of the group that is altogether pleased with the leap and hope they will return to what drew our devoted patronage from the start.
We give Zarkana a 3 out of 5 stars!

Simply Red 25: I Want Tix!
Posted by Native NYker in anniversary, concert, radio city music hall, simply red on March 3, 2009
But apparently 25 years have come and gone. This I must conclude given that Simply Red – you know them from their countless hits – youtube it (lazy ass!), who will be playing Radio City on March 15th, has just released a 25th Anniversary CD.
I would be dancing naked in the snow covered streets were it not that press tix have gone quicker than my youth. (Damn Roxy coat check!) Ordinarily I am rather blah about it, jadedness has its priveledges, but this group has withstood the test of time and sounds all the better for wear! (Take note of that you chipmunk sounding Britney!)
Spring hope is eternal (hard to keep alive in these frigid conditions,) so I will hold back the tears and await a miracle!

Glazed Lemon Blueberry Muffins RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 65 71
Bursting with berries and drizzled with a light lemony glaze, these muffins are moist, tender and truly something special. This is one recipe you simply must try for family and friends. —Kathy Harding, Richmond, Missouri
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Dash salt
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in milk, lemon juice and peel. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in blueberries.
- Fill paper-lined regular-size muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, butter and vanilla; drizzle over warm muffins.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high for 20-30 seconds or until heated through. Yield: 11 muffins.
Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

Reviewed Feb. 10, 2016
"These are really good. I especially liked how the tops became a little crunchy. The batter was really thick, almost a cookie dough consistency, but they turned out fine. I didn't use the glaze, since I'm trying to cut down on sugar. I got 18 regular sized muffins from the batch."

On Sunday Feb. 9, snowboarder Jamie Anderson claimed the second gold of the 2014 Winter Olympics for the Americans. The 23-year-old tore up the slopestyle course with a 95.25 in her final run, emerging victorious in the first ever Olympic women's slopestyle competition.
After recently dying her hair blonde, Anderson now has a gold medal to match her golden locks. Needless to say, she makes snowboarding look good.
The Lake Tahoe product also takes an interesting approach to prepare for her contests. Prior to the slopestyle finals, she was lighting candles and listening to yoga tapes.
After messing up the landing on her first run, Anderson needed to stick her second run to claim gold; and that's exactly what she did at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.
Anderson represents what dreams are made of (Olympic and otherwise). Want to see more? Then checkout this slideshow dedicated to the recently-crowned Olympic champion.

Metro Boston, north shore and western suburbs: Gusty west winds continue to feed us the cold arctic air today and tonight. The 50s of yesterday will be replaced by highs only in the teens today and with very gusty winds we have to deal with wind chills around zero through the day. It only gets worse tonight as temperatures fall into the single digits and coupled with the gusty winds expect wind chills of some 10 to 15 below zero overnight. Of course this pales in comparison to what the folks through the Midwest and Plains are going through and for that we should feel lucky that kind of cold will not be arriving here.
High pressure begins to expand across the southern states today and into the mid Atlantic during Wednesday to encompass most of the eastern third of the country on Thursday. The high then moves offshore during Friday making way for an approaching weak disturbance to approach for the beginning of the weekend.
Today will be the coldest day of this latest arctic outbreak. Plenty of sunshine around does nothing to make us feel comfortable from the biting winds as temperatures remain fairly steady through the day.
Wednesday will be another cold day with plenty of sunshine, however temperatures recover into the low 20s for most of us. There will still be a sting in the air when those winds whip up at times but they are not expected to be as gusty as today. An upper level disturbance brings some clouds our way at night but no precipitation is expected.
The slight moderation in temperature continues on Thursday as the arctic air begins to lose its grip. Temperatures climb to around 30 with a fair amount of sunshine. Some clouds begin to show up during the day and overnight the skies become mostly cloudy. The cloudiness carries over into Friday and a few snow showers may cross the area later in the day and overnight as the disturbance approaches from the Ohio Valley.
The weak disturbance moves to our north and drags a warm front through later Saturday. Then, the attendant cold front slides through here early Sunday. With that said we will have a chance for additional snow showers early Saturday, transitioning to a few rain showers later in the day and overnight as milder air takes over.
72 Hour Forecast:
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, windy and cold. Steady temperatures in the low to mid teens. West winds gusting to near 40 mph, especially along the coastal plain.
Tonight: Very cold and windy with mainly clear skies. Lows near zero to 5 above interior, 5 to 10 on the coast. West winds gusting 25 to 30 mph.
Wednesday: Sunshine with a few afternoon clouds. Not as cold or windy. Highs in the low 20s, near 25 in Boston. West winds 10 to 20 mph.
Wednesday night: Partly cloudy and not as cold. Lows mid to upper teens. West winds 10 to 20 mph, diminishing.
Thursday and Thursday night: Bright sunshine giving way to increasing clouds. Becoming mostly cloudy overnight. Moderating temperatures with highs in the upper 20s to low 30s and nighttime lows upper teens inland to low 20s on the coast.

Copa And Cusick Take Home A-10 Awards
May 10, 2010
AMHERST, Mass. - Junior Peter Copa and freshman Ryan Cusick were both honored by the Atlantic 10 on Monday after helping the UMass baseball team to a 4-1 record last week. Copa earns his first career A-10 Player of the Week award, while Cusick picks up his second Rookie of the Week accolade. The A-10 honors are the sixth and seventh collected by the Minutemen this season.
The third UMass player to be named A-10 Player of the Week in consecutive weeks, Copa led the Minutemen at the plate, hitting .500 (11-for-22) with eight runs scored and 10 RBI. Five of his 11 hits were for extra bases, contributing to an .864 slugging percentage. In UMass' 18-12 series opening win at Dayton, Copa was a home run shy of hitting for the cycle and drove in five runs. He registered four multi-hit games on the week and scored in every contest. In the series against the Flyers, Copa batted .467 (7-for-15) with seven RBI and five runs scored.
On the year, Copa is hitting .322 (48-for-149) with 10 doubles, four triples seven home runs, 31 RBI and 30 runs scored. He holds a .361 average in A-10 play with five homers and 24 RBI in 21 games.
Cusick, who was previously selected as A-10 Rookie of the Week on Apr. 26, hit .476 last week (10-for-21) with eight runs scored. He boasted a .607 on base percentage and was a perfect 4-for-4 in stolen base attempts. UMass' leadoff hitter, Cusick batted .500 (6-for-12) against the Flyers and posted a career-best 4-for-5 performance at the plate against Dayton in the series-clinching game three win. He hit safely in all five games on the week and drew five walks in three games vs. the Flyers.
Cusick has appeared in 29 of the team's 39 games and is batting .301 with six doubles, 29 runs scored and 10 RBI.
UMass returns to action tomorrow, May 11, when the squad will travel to Hamden, Conn., to face Quinnipiac at 3 p.m.

Heading into the 2012-13 season, both the coaches and media have picked the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team to finish eighth in the newly expanded Big Sky Conference. In the preseason poll, released Oct. 17 by the league office, EWU garnered 40 points from the league's head coaches and 65 from media members.
Eastern returns three starters and six other letterwinners from its 2011-12 squad, as well as three redshirts. But for the first time in three years, the Eagles will not welcome back an All-Big Sky player.

TEMPE – Eight members of the Arizona State University water polo team were honored on the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation All-Academic team, the MPSF has announced.
ASU's eight selections were tied with UCLA for the second most in the conference, trailing only Stanford's 11 selections.
The team was paced by goalkeeper Ianeta Hutchinson, who finished her career with a 4.00 GPA in psychology and was recently named the NCAA Elite 89 Award winner for women's water polo. The award is given annual to the student-athlete with the highest GPA at an NCAA Championship event and was the second award for a women's sport in Sun Devil history.
Hutchinson was joined on the team by fellow goalkeeper E.B. Keeve, an All-MPSF selection who was recently named to the U.S. Senior National Team for the summer.
All-American and All-MPSF selection Ao Gao also made an appearance on the team and it was the second career selections for both Gao and Keeve, as well as the second career selections by juniors Liz Kreek and Anna Kertes.
The group was joined by three sophomores making their debut on the All-Academic team in their first season of eligibility in Abbey Kerth, Katie Sverchek and Daisy Carter.
The Sun Devils are coming off a fifth-place finish in the team's NCAA Tournament debut early last month and will return all but one member of this year's roster to the squad next season.
The criteria for selection is as follows:
1. 3.00 or better cumulative grade point average.
2. Student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically.
3. Student-athlete must have completed one full academic year at the institution prior to the season for which the award is being received
4. Student-athlete must have competed in fifty percent of the institutions competition in his or her respective sport.

HARRISONBURG — Arraignment on more than 130 charges of animal cruelty and neglect against the owners of Millcreek Kennels is set for Oct. 16 in Page County General District Court.
Lennis Atkins, 74, and William Atkins, 53, were charged last week with a host of counts related to a July 3 raid. They made their first court appearance Thursday morning, at which time the arraignment date was set.
In July, the Page County Sheriff's Office, with the help of Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Animal Rescue Corps, seized about 130 dogs and four parrots from Millcreek, at 1608 Mills Creek Crossroads.
The investigation into the kennel, which deputies say is owned by Lennis Atkins and her son, William, began in late June when ARC leaders contacted the sheriff's office.
Deputies say someone out of state purchased a dog from the breeder and took it to the vet. The vet diagnosed the dog with health problems and notified ARC.
The kennel owners have said their business, which started more than 50 years ago, has passed state and county inspections.

What is L-Carnitine?
Often sold as a nutritional supplement, Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Carnitine is required in order for the body to better utilize fatty acids, which are then transported from the mitochondria in muscle fiber during the breakdown process of the fats. These lipids or fats are then converted into metabolic energy for the muscle to use for physical activity. Used by many professional bodybuilders to help reduce fat mass and increase lean muscle mass and reduc fatigue, L-Carnitine can assist even the tradition recreationalist with better energy metabolism and improved cognitive function. In the elderly L-Caritine is supplemented for improving neurotransmitter function in the brain and maintain healthy nerve function.
Athletic Performance and Weightloss: Increasing the consumption of L-Carnitine is the most efficient and natural way to support weight loss, because it absorbs the fat and pushes it into the muscles which burn it off without any side effects. Research has shown evidence that increased levels of carnitine lead to the increase in lean mass and a decrease in uneccessary body fat. L-Carnitine also helps to increase the bodys metabolic rate while maintaining the present amount of muscle tissue. In other words, it helps to preserve muscle in the body that can be jeopardized while restricting calories for preparation for athletic competition or other such occasions. This is crucial, because muscle tissue is where you do most of your fat burning. Carnitine is also useful for eliminating pesky cravings and increasing the amount of energy you have to exercise, both of which are very helpful for those whodesire to lose weight. Because carnitine plays a critical role in fat burning, carnitine is a great aid in promoting sports endurance. Fat is the primary fuel our body uses in endurance sports, and research shows carnitine enhances aerobic performance, allowing athletes to exercise longer without fatigue.
Heart Heath: Carnitine is also one of the most important nutrients for promoting heart health. The heart derives 70% of its energy from fat, and fat is unable to be burned without carnitine. Carnitine has also been found helpful in the treatment of mitral valve prolapse, angina, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure. Carnitine is also one of the most important nutrients for lowering cholesterol and triglycerides.
Food Sources: The highest amounts of L-Carnitine can be found in red meats and dairy products like many other amino acids. Vegatarian sources include tempeh, nuts, legumes (beans, lentils, peas), and seeds suchs as sunflower and sesame. Vegatbles containing the powerful amino acid include artichokes, asparagus, beet green, broccoli, garlic, and okra. Healthy complex carbohydrates that also contain the nutrient source include millet, oats, rye, wheat germ, and carob.

Fox's upstart cable/satellite network Fox Sports 1 is only a year old and is already embroiled in its first carriage dispute. In an odd and somewhat unprecedented move, Dish Network announced that it will black out four college football games this weekend because of a rate dispute with the Fox-owned outlet.
None of the four contests involve Cal or Stanford, but two of them feature other Pac-12 squads. They are Rutgers vs. Washington State on Thursday, and Colorado St. vs. Colorado on Friday. Two other matchups that are of little significance to Bay Area viewers will also be blacked out on Dish: North Dakota State vs. Iowa State on Saturday, and SMU vs. Baylor on Sunday.
Dish launched a web page at Dishsportsvalue.com to clarify its position. "Fox agreed to pay an inflated price for certain sports events on Fox Sports 1". "Now, Fox is demanding we pay them a significant additional charge to carry these events. We are unwilling to pass these costs on to our customers." Fox Sports has not returned fire.
If accurate, this situation is unprecedented because a cable/satellite channel has never asked for a fee above and beyond the negotiated per-subscriber charge from Multiple System Operators, like Dish, to carry specific programs. In other words, up till now, MSOs either carry FS1 or they don't. Dish reached an agreement with Fox to carry FS1 at launch and has been doing so for a year. Why this agreement wouldn't cover college football is unknown.
Also unknown is how much extra Fox is charging Dish, and whether this dispute covers all college football on the outlet or just these four games. This issue has apparently not affected other MSOs such as Comcast, AT&T, and DirecTV.
If this impasse lasts all season long, it'll eventually affect local Dish subscribers. Right now, the only scheduled contest on FS1 featuring one of our Pac-12 teams is Cal's October 24 scrimmage against Oregon. But since most Pac-12 matchups after Week 3 haven't been scheduled yet, there's a good chance FS1 will have more kickoffs involving Cal or Stanford.
It's another potential source of frustration for Pac-12 fans. DirecTV has been unable to come to terms with the conference to carry the Pac-12 Network, though Dish has. With another satellite provider having negotiation problems, there are now fewer choices to ensure you'll be able to watch all Stanford or Cal matchups.
As the cost of sports rights fees continues to skyrocket, it seems like there are more opportunities for the "grown-ups" negotiating our ability to watch these events to act like children. Will this issue get resolved before it impacts local fans? Don't hold your breath.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn Thought the Police Were Just Bringing Him His Cell Phone
He also claimed diplomatic immunity.
The Manhattan DA's office has filed documents containing details about what accused sexual attacker Dominique Strauss-Kahn said in the hours after his arrest last month. Apparently Strauss-Kahn initially thought that the Port Authority police who escorted him off his plane were "employees from his hotel who had come to bring him his missing cellphone." It was also revealed that Strauss-Kahn at first told a detective, "I have diplomatic immunity," but later said, "No, no, no, I'm not trying to use that." Which is good, because he couldn't.

Toddlers and touch screens: pros and cons for parents to consider
Magic happened the first time Wall Street Journal technology reporter Ben Worthen let his 2-year-old son use an iPad.
During all five hours of a cross-country flight, the child happily immersed himself in the iPad via age-appropriate content such as kids' games, an app for drawing and "Curious George" cartoons. Indeed, the boy intuitively grasped how to operate the device that Worthen had borrowed for his son to use on the plane.
Worthen and his wife eventually bought their own iPad, and shortly thereafter they noticed their son's awareness of and interest in letters increase as the boy played word games and puzzles on the touch-screen tablet. And in a pinch, the iPad was always ready to step in as a de facto baby sitter if and when the Worthen family's newborn second child required immediate attention.
But the Worthens also observed a darker side to their son's iPad usage: he fixated on the screen so intensely that he wouldn't respond when his parents called his name, and the boy whined incessantly when asked to put the iPad away.
Following some hand wringing and debate, the Worthens ultimately decided to take the iPad away from their son. Two weeks of iPad withdrawals ensued, but the boy (now 4 years old) adapted and today he rarely inquires anymore about the device.
Even though the strategy successfully stamped out the whining spells, Worthen remains ambivalent about the decision.
"I don't know — I'm not convinced that taking it away was the right decision," he said. "But I haven't figured out a really good strategy for moderating it."
Worthen's experience is characteristic of an emerging trend among families with young children: the elegant simplicity of touch-screen devices such as iPads and iPhones permits kids to actively engage technology at increasingly younger ages. But the touch-screen phenomenon is so new that no definitive scientific research exists to show how iPads may affect the mental development of young children. As a result, parents are armed with little more than intuition and anecdotal evidence as they make potentially impactful decisions about when and how to introduce touch-screen technology into their kids' lives.
Finger-friendly at any age
Last year the nonprofit advocacy group Common Sense Media set out to gauge the state of media consumption among young children. The resulting research study, "Zero to eight: Children's media use in America," illustrated the rising popularity of touch-screen devices. Chief among these are the iPhone and iPad — first released in 2007 and 2010, respectively — which in many cases aren't any older than the children using them.
The "Zero to eight" findings concluded, "Half (52 percent) of all children now have access to one of the newer mobile devices at home: either a smartphone (41 percent), a video iPod (21 percent) or an iPad or other tablet device (8 percent)."
Furthermore, the survey revealed that for children under the age of 5, the use of touch-screen smartphones and tablets is already on par with more established technologies like computers and video-game consoles.
"The (touch-screen) interface is something that kids don't even need to learn because it's so intuitive," said Common Sense Media parenting editor Caroline Knorr. "It is very easy for kids to figure it out because they aren't afraid of technology, like some parents might be intimidated by it. The platform really offers the ability for designers and game developers to provide a game experience that's just so unique — (both) broad and deep."
Too new to know
The prevalence of touch-screen devices is so new that no on-point scientific research exists on the topic — a dynamic that, in the Information Age, amounts to a veritable rarity.

College Hockey:Ailing Sioux Hammer out 4-0 Win over Michigan Tech
UND's Lamoureux Gets Sixth Shutout
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Neither injuries nor illness nor Michigan Tech could slow down North Dakota as the Fighting Sioux extended their unbeaten streak to 18 games with a 4-0 win over the visiting Huskies at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three WCHA playoff series, UND coach Dave Hakstol was all business after the second-rank Sioux improved to 24-8-4.
We had a pretty good effort for most of the 60 minutes, he said. Thats all it is. Its one game and we had good intensity and a good performance for one game. Its a three game series.
UND junior center T.J. Oshies status was questionable right until game time. Sophomore defenseman Chay Genoway returned to the lineup after missing most of three games with an arm injury. Freshman forward Evan Trupp, who leads the team in game winning goals, is out indefinitely with a leg injury.
We waited until warm-ups, Oshie said of his pre-game status. I didnt know if I was going to play or not, but I felt really good out there and I decided to stay. Coach Hakstol left it up to me. I felt like I could play.
Last Saturday, Oshie left the game against St. Cloud State after his first shift and played only one shift in the second period. Whether he and Genoway would play against MTU was the question of the week. Both played, and both had an impact, Oshie with a goal and an assist and Genoway with two assists.
Neither one was tremendously dynamic tonight, but they were both very good, said Hakstol. I thought they both did a real good, solid job.
Sioux goalie Jean-Philippe Lamoureux recorded his sixth shutout of the season. He stopped 14 shots and helped hold the Huskies 0-6 on the power play.
Phil continued what hes done for us throughout the year, Hakstol said. I thought he had good focus tonight. When he needed to make a save, whether it was routine save or one of the big saves he made, he was there.
UND cashed in on two of its six power play opportunities, including the game-winner by forward Ryan Duncan at 5:25 of the first period.
The power plays huge in post-season play, Duncan said. Its a good thing to have our special teams rolling. Weve been struggling here and there through the season. Hopefully, this is a positive sign of things to come.
Last week following a pair of low scoring ties against SCSU, Hakstol revealed that illness had kept players out of practice and robbed them of energy.
Wed hoped as we got through the middle portion of the week that we were getting out of a little bit of the funk we were in with the flu bug that had his us, he said. Hopefully, thats the case. It looked like it tonight.
UND outshot MTU 14-0 in the first period and went up 1-0 at 5:25 on a power play goal by Duncan, last seasons Hobey Baker winner. Left alone in the right circle, Duncan rifled a wrister short side past MTU goalie Michael-Lee Teslak.
Although UND dominated play and made it difficult for MTU to move the puck through the neutral zone, Lamoureux got some help when the Huskies John Schwarz rang a shot off the post. However, UND dominated the scoring opportunities.
In the second period, MTU managed seven shots on goal, but the Sioux continued to dominate, at times controlling play in the Huskies zone for long stretches. UND went up 3-0 on two goals 49 seconds apart.
They scored two goals back-to-back and playing on the road, the crowd gets going, said MTU coach Jamie Russell. You cant give up back-to-back goals like that, and that certainly was a backbreaker.
At the 8:21 mark, a pass from the right corner from Duncan found Oshie alone in front of Teslak. He fired the puck in five-hole to make it a 2-0 game.
At 9:10, UNDs fourth line struck for a goal when freshman Jake Marto — playing forward for the first time this season — hit sophomore center Darcy Zajac with a centering pass from behind the net. Teslak stopped the point-blank shot, but the puck deflected back into the crease and bounced in off the goalies stick, giving Zajac his second goal of the season.
It ended up hitting our guys stick and it bounced off me and then in, Teslak said. It was kind of an unfortunate bounce.
UND forward Andrew Kozek scored his team-leading 16th goal of the season on the power play at 6:58 of the third period. Junior forward Brad Miller saucered a pass between MTU defenders that sent Kozek in alone on Teslak. He pulled the puck to his backhand and shot the puck between the goalies pads to close out the scoring.
Stifling defense has become UNDs trademark. The Huskies, held to 14 shots for the game, didnt have a shot on goal in the first period.
They just do a great job of blocking out, MTU captain Jimmy Kerr said of the Sioux defense. Its really hard to get in front of their net. They also do a really good job of blocking shots in front of their net.
Kerr said that will have to change if MTU is to win game two on Saturday.
We just have to go to the net hard and find ways to get in front of Lamoureux, he said. We have to find ways to get in his face and get him rattled a little bit and get a dirty goal, an ugly goal — any goal.
MTU and UND will meet at 7:05 p.m. Saturday in Engelstad Arena for the second game of the WCAH playoff series.

The Saints moved to 6-1, and 4-0 at home, on the 2013 season with their bumpy but ultimately convincing win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. Here are some interesting facts and records involving the win.
- It was the first time the Saints have ever beaten the Bills in the Superdome. The teams have now met 10 times, with the Saints holding a 6-4 advantage in the series. New Orleans beat Buffalo twice in Tulane Stadium, and once at "home" while playing in San Antonio after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
- Drew Brees' five-TD performance give him eight such games for his career, one more than Peyton Manning.
- Rookie wide receiver Kenny Stills enjoyed the best game of his career, catching three balls for 129 yards and two touchdowns. They included his explosive 69-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in the second quarter, and a spectacular contested catch in the end zone for his second touchdown.
- Stills' game was the first two-TD performance by a Saints rookie since 2006. The player that day? Marques Colston.
- With his 37th career touchdown catch, Lance Moore moved into fourth place on the club's all-time list in that category, tied with Danny Abramowicz.
- The Saints defense has allowed 120 points (17.1 per game) through the first seven games, the fourth-lowest total in franchise history. The three teams above them in fewest points allowed (1991, 1992, 2000) all went to the playoffs.
- Keenan Lewis intercepted Thad Lewis in the fourth quarter for his third interception of the season. That's a career-best for Lewis with 9 regular season games still remaining.

Samsung Galaxy S II TV launches in Brazil, it's actually a Galaxy Ace 3 variation
The Android-powered flip phone from yesterday isn't the only strange new device to come out of Samsung these days, it seems. Today in Brazil, something called the Samsung Galaxy S II TV became official. And it's neither a Galaxy S II, nor a TV.
What is it, then, you wonder? Well, basically a dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 with support for digital mobile TV built-in. And that's about it. The specs are bordering on identical to those of the Galaxy Ace 3 that was announced in June.
The Samsung Galaxy S II TV (model GT-S7273T) has a 4-inch 480×800 touchscreen, a 5 MP rear camera with LED flash, a VGA front camera, a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 4 GB of built-in storage, microSD card support, HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 1,500 mAh battery. It has a retractable antenna for all your ISDB-T mobile broadcast receiving needs, and it runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with the inevitable TouchWiz UI layer soldered on top. Its dimensions are 121.2×62.7×9.79 mm, and it weighs 120 grams.
One Brazilian retailer is already offering the Galaxy S II TV for order, and it's priced at 849 reals. That currently amounts to approximately $365 or €275.
We assume that the Galaxy S II was (or still is) incredibly popular in Brazil, and Samsung wants to take advantage of that. Because otherwise, choosing to use this brand for what is clearly a Galaxy Ace 3 doesn't make much sense.

Over the past month, I rewrote and redesigned PokeDream's Pokedex. It was a big undertaking, but it's finally done. Today, I'd like to announce the launch of Pokedex 2.0, completely rewritten and redesigned from the ground up. There were two reasons for this: the old Pokedex was 1. not user-friendly enough and 2. created in a way such that adding new features was not easy enough. I really wanted our Pokedex to be the best Pokedex on the web in terms of the amount of useful data it contains and its usability, and a rewrite was the best way to accomplish that.
Along with the rewrite, I added a bunch of data and images. Here's a partial list of the new Pokedex's features:
- On the main page, a better sortable Pokemon table that allows you to easily sort Pokemon by their stats and quickly find the Pokemon you want
- Redesigned Pokedex entries for each Pokemon
- A new side bar that follows you as you scroll, allowing you to jump from section to section
- Complete data for all older generations of Pokemon games (we only had data for generations 3, 4, and 5 before)
- Moves data for new Black & White Pokemon
- Updated English names for new Black & White Pokemon
- Tons of new game sprites for each Pokemon
And this is just the beginning. I already have a list of things I need to add and fix that will keep me busy for a while, but feel free to suggest more. Try out the new Pokedex now!

Yankees rumors have fans of the team pretty excited. The latest New York Yankees rumors stem from Alex Rodriguez officially getting suspended for the entire 2014 MLB season. According to a report from CBS Sports on Saturday (Jan. 11), the arbitrator has given A-Rod a 162-game suspension. It basically means that the team will not have to pay his salary of $25 million for next season.
Fans of the team are filling up the comment section of many different internet articles, with most showing no sympathy for the situation A-Rod has caused for himself. It had been thought for a while that the former MLB MVP was going to get suspended, but the official announcement finally gives the team more financial flexibility. Now they can use that money to go after a third baseman, starting pitcher, or both in free agency. Players like Stephen Drew, Michael Young, and Masahiro Tanaka are the ones coming up the most in discussions about the team.
It's conceivable that the team could pursue someone like Matt Garza or Ubaldo Jimenez in addition to Tanaka, especially with an additional $25 million to play with. Now that the Alex Rodriguez news has come down, quite a few fresh New York Yankees rumors are going to surface. Fans of the team should expect them to be mentioned as candidates for many of the unsigned free agents that can pitch or play the infield well. There is also plenty of time for the team to make another splash in addition to the signings of Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Carlos Beltran.

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
Tonight the Greater Lowell Technical School Committee (GLTSC) will be holding another special meeting to discuss the contract of the school's newly-elected superintendent, Mary Jo Santoro.
On this blog as well as other on other ones, the GLTSC lack of transparency and antagonistic attitude towards tax payers who are requesting accountability and the right to be heard has been discussed a number of times.
Erin Smith of the Sun has been aggressively following the story and the paper has editorialized on a number occasion, including this past Saturday when they called to "End era of secrecy at Greater Lowell Tech."
We urge the committee to hold a public meeting and to release the details of Santoro's contract. Residents of the schools' sending communities who are funding the institution, have a right to know how their money is being spent.
The contract with [retiring Superintendent Jim] Cassin has received considerable criticism in recent years, and justifiably so. The superintendent was first hired at an annual salary of $112,000 in 2003 and saw his yearly pay skyrocket to its current level of nearly $190,000. Cassin's contract had such outrageous inclusions as automatic annual raises of more than 5 percent and merit bonuses of up to 4 percent.
So tonight, this School Committee has an opportunity to reverse their direction: have an open meeting, allow and encourage the public to speak and vote for a contract that is fair and reasonable. If the obstructionist on this Board thinks that the media and the public will go away, they are not only politically tone deaf but this behavior and attitude will be the catalyst for major changes come next fall.
I believe at least one commenter on this blog was at the meeting. Looking forward to hearing about how it went.
Yes Mr Lynne is correct–I was at the meeting and was allowed to give a 2 1/2 minute prepared address to the board. I requested that any subsequent contract meetings be held in open session and that once a contract was finalized that a public hearing be called before the board had their final vote to approve. Both points were essentially ignored by the board. Immediately after my address the board voted to go into executive session for "strategy" discussions. This lasted for approximately one hr. The board returned to open session only to vote to immediately go back into executive session to "negotiate" with Mary Jo Santoro. The negotiations lasted approximately 45 minutes following which a contract was printed and signed by the board an Ms Santoro
The 3-year contract calls for $160K salary for the 1st year with standard vacation and sick leave. The interesting aspect is that there is no raise or bonus given. The salary for subsequent years will be negotiated on or before May 1 of each year. There is a sell-back of sick and vacation time but is limited to 10 days per year with no provision for a lump sum payment at retirement or contract termination.
The Sun has more: http://www.lowellsun.com/todaysheadlines/ci_15399791
I want the interviews aired on LTC. My understanding is that the GLT School Committee would have to 'approve' of them being aired. Too convenient.
The speaking limit of 2 ½ minutes by this board is a joke! I have addressed many, many boards over the years and the typical time limit, when imposed, is 5 minutes. And that is rarely enforced. Only when there is more then one speaker and/or the meeting is getting along in time have I been placed on a time limit. Wasn't it Chairman Laferriere who recently stated to the Sun that they 'never have members of the public apply to speak'. This limit screams of the unyielding opposition by the GLTHSC to what they deem to be "outside interference". Most boards and board chairs that I have presented to are committed, respectful and accommodating to what I and the overall public have to say. In other words, they welcome our comments, even when in opposition to their own. Not to mention that the public speaking opportunity is a cherished and critical component of our democracy. Truly the only opportunity for the average citizen to take an active role in their governance.
The members of the GLTHS board are pushing so hard against the tide of accountability that their muscles must be aching. They are so oblivious to what their role is in this whole thing called governance.
Furthermore, newly appointed Superintendent Mary Jo Santoro should do the right thing and NOT fill her present position of assistant superintended/principal. What few people know is that this $131,000 per annum (plus annuity) position never existed prior to Cassin's similarly orchestrated ascension to power back in 2003. He had barely warmed his newly acquired Superintendent's chair when he created out of the air, this and other positions to accommodate himself and his loyalist friends. What, I ask, warranted the creation of such positions? And were these "new" positions approved by our elected GLTHS Committee? Did we have a spike in student enrollment in 2003? I doubt it.
So our esteemed GLTHS board members vote to make James Cassin the highest paid Superintendent in our entire Commonwealth (currently $191,000 plus annuity) and he, in-turn, uses his power to create positions thus significantly lightening his work load. That guy is one smart cookie! And about that board……..
I would assume GLT "owns" the tapes and would be under no legal obligation to share them with anyone including LTC. It's probably the same with tapes from regular monthly committee meetings. I wonder how the board would respond if someone like MoveLowellForward were to request copies of the tapes or DVDs of the interviews?
Michael sorry to be unclear. I was not limited to 2 1/2 minutes; that just happened to be the length of my prepared address. They seemed to be quite accomodating–they had a signup sheet already waiting when I arrived and "pleasantly" called me forward to speak. Didn't do a whole lot of good but at least I got my ideas out in the open. I am disappointed in Erin Smith and the Sun. There is a not a single mention of either of my requests to have public debate on the contract and/or to have a public hearing prior to the committee signing the contract. In fact I am considering a letter to the Sun expressing my disappointment and alerting the citizenry to my/MLF's requests to have a more open process with citizen input.
Once the contract was signed, all executive session minutes and tapes should become open to the public.
I'm trying to remember…was there any sort of public hearing/public input around the final contract or hiring of the CM or superintendent?
The problem with all this info becoming public now is "who cares?" The contract is a done deal! Don't matter what you, I or anyone else says now, the contract is signed, sealed and delivered. In fact I have a hard copy in my hand right now! Neither you nor I nor anyone else besides the 8 SC members had even the slightest bit of input! We are lucky the Sun blew the whistle on the "email approval process" that was about to happen because had they not the whole deal would have been a small subset of the committee of the whole. I don't even know who other than Dave Tully was on the negotiating subcommittee and I only know that because it was mentioned last night!

"Historical Ties" at Ashland U.
In order to "reinforce historical ties," Ohio's Ashland University, founded by the Brethren Church, announces that they will only hire Christians and Jews as full-time faculty, and that only people "'of Christian faith and life'" will be eligible to serve in the president's cabinet.
"Prophet" Seeks Bible Ban
Defense lawyers in the Utah "pedophile prophet" case, concerning the kidnapping of then-14-year old Elizabeth Smart by self-proclaimed prophet Brian David Mitchell, have asked the judge to sequester jurors and ban Bibles from their hotel rooms, reports The NY Post.
Holy War Wear
But what to wear to Falwell's first party meeting?
The Revolution Will Never Die
It's enough that people know there was an election, and that moral values carried it, for Jerry Falwell to announce the coming/still here evangelical revolution. The revolution will spring from Falwell's new organization, The Faith and Values Coalition (the un-catchily-named resurrection of Falwell's Moral Majority). And the revolutionaries, including Comrades Tim LaHaye and Mathew Staver of Florida's Liberty Counsel, have pragmaticly listed their goals: lobbying for pro-life judicial appointments, a federal ban on same-sex marriage, and the election of another conservative president in 2008. But what Falwell really wants is an opportunity to complete his "'salt of the earth' ministry," and he plans to organize in all 50 states, lending his National Liberty Journal newspaper to the cause of rallying 40 million evangelical voters for 2008. Because, hey, liberty is precious…
Wasn't This a Movie?
C. of E. choirboys strip for a naval-themed charity calender. While traditionalists bristle, the Portsmouth Bishop, Rt. Rev. Kenneth Stevenson, supports the calender and congratulated the lads on baring more than their souls.
Atheists, Singles and Grad. Students, Oh My!
Our favorite logic-smashing Bush apologist, Dr. Paul Kengor, author of God and George W. Bush, socks it to Democrats by pointing out their heretical, godless supporters. "Which ought to be considered a greater liability for an American president: to receive the overwhelming support of devout Protestants and Catholics or to be backed by atheists? …Next to African-Americans, the surest Democratic voter is an unmarried, city-dwelling, Northeast, pro-choice atheist with a graduate degree who thinks that gay people should be legally married." (We suspect Kengor just hasn't found an atheist he can understand. Can we help?)
A North Carolina man, Michael Herman Vaughan, who has suffered from severeschizophrenia and psychotic delusions for over twenty-five years — hearing warring voices from both God and the devil in his head, and sometimes believing himself to be Jesus — has been deemed indefinitely incompetent to stand trial for the murder of his elderly friend, whom he believed God wished him to kill. Vaughan, who has been remanded to a mental institution, rejected a manslaughter plea and requested to be sentenced to death.
Learning from the Inquisition
The Vatican announced yesterday that it will cooperate with Italy's Culture Ministry by opening more of its archives on the Inquisition in an unprecedented study of how the Church attempted to control religious beliefs and their effect on history. The Vatican statement said that a project of this size, which will catalogue documents concerning the Roman and Spanish Inquisitions, had never been attempted before, and will be "'of great importance in international reseach of the control of religious ideas in medieval and modern Europe.'"
Coathangers in Kenya
Intense debate over abortion broke out between religious activists and doctors in Kenya on Wednesday, at the start of the trial of Dr. John Nyamu, a doctor who has been charged with murder after 15 fetuses were found near Nairobi River. All abortion is illegal in Kenya, and murder convictions carry the death penalty. Religious activists condemned not sinner but sin; doctors said: "'We are always blamed. It is the woman who is doing it — not us.'" And the women "doing it"? Apparently absent, but maybe making their voices heard by dying — at the rate of 2,500 per year — due to post-illegal-abortion complications.
Ashcroft v. Cancer Ward
In a parting gesture, John Ashcroft asked the Supreme Court to authorize federal agents to pursue Oregon doctors who assist in the suicides of terminally ill patients under the state's 1994 "Death with Dignity Act." The law has popular state support, though it's rarely been used. Since 1997, only 171 patients have used medication to end their lives, most of them cancer patients, and all of them within their last six months, as confirmed by two doctors, and judged mentally competent to make the decision.
How She Prays
Thurs., 9 am eastern, Catholic conservative Amy Welborn on Relevant Radio, discussing her truly lovely book, The Words We Pray.
Goodbye, Ashcroft, Ya Ol' Softie
Newsweek on a new attorney general with new moral values: "[In] the debates that surrounded the development of the military tribunal policy down in Guantanamo… John Ashcroft was actually the voice of reason and Alberto Gonzales was lined up with the most extreme right-wing voices arguing that there should be virtually no rights to the people who are being tried."
