Rescue Groups with a Special Focus on Helping Senior Dogs
Imagine a senior pet, once dumped by their family with no hope of ever making it out of a pound alive, living out their golden years in a place full of love and laughter, with room to roam and stretch, where ear scratches and belly rubs know no bounds. (I came across this saying and loved it's meaning)
The Grey Muzzle Organization
Formed in 2008, and focused on supporting rescue groups and shelters that help senior dogs, The Grey Muzzle Organization provides funding for senior dog programs nationwide. If you are a shelter or rescue group, you may qualify for a grant. To find out more about applying for a grant, see the website. For individuals wishing to support The Grey Muzzle Organization by donating a dog bed, for example, please read more.

Objective: a life-time match between a senior dog and his or her new forever family — a win-win situation since many amazing senior dogs will have their lives spared and just as many citizens, young and old, will have their lives enhanced by animal companionship. If that wasn't reason enough, there are also many research studies that show the connection between better mental health, improved physical health and having a pet in your life. (* All dogs in shelters are lovingly referred to as "mutts" whether they are a purebred or a wonderful mix of breeds.)

Old Dog Haven, Arlington, WA
Is a non-profit, no-kill rescue organization dedicated to placing senior dogs in foster or adoptive homes. All too many dogs of advanced age are given up to shelters when they are of no longer of use or too much trouble to their families. In many cases, they are left behind when an elderly person dies or needs to move into a residential care facility. Instead of living their last years as cherished members of a loving family, these animals are dumped at shelters where their chances of adoption are almost nil; or else they may be passed around from one family member to another, often to be left ignored in the yard. Many of these dogs are in poor physical condition as well, making them even less appealing to prospective adopters. The goal of Old Dog Haven is to ensure that the last years of unwanted senior dogs are happy and that they live their last days in safety and at peace, knowing they are loved. If you subscribe to this concept and would like to help in this mission by fostering or adopting a senior dog, please visit the Old Dog Haven web site.
Seniors for Seniors Program, just north of Seattle, WA
The PAWS "Seniors for Seniors" adoption program is all about rediscovering the joys of having a cat or dog in your life. Over the years, companion animals have brought joy to our lives and warmth to our homes.

The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County
The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County is the largest shelter in the state of Washington. Their mission is to protect and promote the well-being of animals and to nurture the relationship between people and animals.
SAINTS – Senior Animals in Need Today Sanctuary, Maple Ridge, BC, Canada
Mission Statement: "We are an end-of-life sanctuary for senior and special needs animals that have no where else to go. We provide a special place to be loved, cherished, and receive proper medical care for the rest of their days. All animals deserve to have hope for a better tomorrow. Because of their infirmities and physical challenges, many homeless senior and special needs animals have very little chance of finding a new home. At various shelters throughout B.C., dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to find these special animals a place to finish their journey in comfort and in love. SAINTS exists to help senior and special needs animals when all else fails. If we can, in time, find them a special home of their own, then we do. If that very special home never comes, they will be safe and cherished until the end of their days. We pledge to love them, to care for them, and make their dreams come true. We promise each of them that they will never be alone again…"

The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting today that a California mother and her boyfriend on the run from authorities have been apprehended. Sara Krueger and her boyfriend Ryan Scott Warner aka Ryan Warner were arrested and charged with the murder of Kruger's 3-year-old daughter Kayleigh Slusher. The child was found dead in her bed after the couple vanished. Kruger and Warner have since been arrested, according to CBS News.
2014: Kayleigh Slusher case details
Kayleigh Slusher was a 3-year-old little girl who was living with her mother Sara Krueger and her boyfriend Scott Warner in an apartment in the 2000 block of Wilkins Avenue. Kayleigh Slusher is said to have been a devoted mother who took good care of her daughter but that her life began to down spiral after she began dating Scott Warner.
Sara Krueger was warned by her landlord that Warner was going to cause her to lose the apartment. The police had visited the home many times in the past for various tenant disturbances.
A concerned neighbor called police when she noticed the couple leaving the apartment with their bags packed but without the child.
Kayleigh Slusher crime scene
When police arrived at Royal Garden Apartments in Napa, they found the body of 3-year-old Kayleigh Slusher dead in her bed. It appeared the girl had been sexually assaulted and beaten. She was pronounced dead at the scene. A nationwide manhunt for Sara Krueger and Scott Warner ensued.
Today's update in the case of Sara Krueger and Ryan Scott Warner
Sara Krueger and Scott Warner were picked up by Bart police in El Cerrito, after a citizen recognized them from the wanted posters, according to KTVU.

|When a book, film or TV program is translated into another language, what do translators do when puns, anagrams or other wordplay is involved? To use one example, one mystery story I read had the solution hinge on the homophone floorless/flawless. When translated, this would 'break' and the premise fails. Another example is the movie Sneakers. The plot hinges on an anagram 'Setec Astronomy'/'too many secrets'.
|It's very difficult! Ideally, the translator finds some comparable piece of wordplay in the target language. A famous series of publications in this connexion is Hergé's "Tintin" cartoon books, which are full of puns and suchlike in the original French, all of which have apparently been rendered by parallel pieces of wordplay in the English-language editions. (I say "apparently" because I don't know these bande dessinée publications well in either language, but I have often read that the translations are a real tour de force in this respect.) Obviously this will often require huge ingenuity, and if the "content" of the pun is crucial to the subject of a piece of prose, it may be impossible -- one can't guarantee that a given target language will offer even a distant parallel. A much weaker solution, sometimes inevitable, is for the translator simply to insert a footnote explaining that some words in the translation worked as a pun in the original. Or the relevant wording might just get omitted from the translation: published translations vary greatly in how close they hug the original text, sometimes they are quite free, and this will often be regarded as justifiable.

I did my phD studies in Alain Aspect's atom optic group.
I worked on Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) and it's application to quantum-intereferomotric sensing of inertial fields.
In spring 2004 Rob Nyman and I have started building a new experiment (nicknamed "KRub") to produce a new BEC source for the study of degenerate atomic gases in atom-interferometry. In falls 2005 we were joined by Jean-François Clément and in june 2006 by Jean-Philippe Brantut.
The experiment is now leading a life of its own, as I defended my phD in January 2008.
- We often took pictures of the work in progress in the lab, and you see them on KRubLog, the unofficial blog of the experiment.
KRubLog: pictures of the "KRub" experiment.
In September 2006 I started the "little-ICE" project, a spin-off of our main experiment to perform atom-interferometric measurements in ballistic flights: 20 seconds of micro-gravity in a free-falling plane.
In particular, we demonstrated the first atom interferometer to perform in microgravity.
An interferometric device compares the phase-shift undergone by test particles in two different paths (that can by spatially separated, or only separated by internal parameters). It can thus read to a high precision the potential felt by the test particles.
Photon-interferometry is a well established technique for high precision measurements. State of the art gravimeters are made of a falling test mass whose acceleration is read by photon interferometry. Sagnac-effect gyrometers drive inertial-navigation centers of almost all planes.
Atom-interferometry promises orders of magnitude more sensitivity than photon-interferometry but is still in its infancy.
Long term goals of our research project (see also our group's webpage ):
The use of ultracold atomic gases as a source for matter-wave interferometry allows high signal-to-noise ratio due to high densities and narrow momentum-spectra. To avoid inhomogeneities of external potential, propagation between beam splitters in an atom interferometer is usually achieved via free-fall. The sensitivity of an interferometric measurement is limited in current high-precision experiments by the propagation time of the atoms, itself limited by the free expansion of the atomic cloud in the vacuum chamber. The use of a Bose-condensed cloud dramaticaly reduces the ballistic expansion and allows for long propagation times.
To access experimentally such long fall times we are building a transportable atom-interferometry apparatus that can be used on an aeroplane, in ballistic flights, to perform measurements in micro-gravity. A mixture of quantum degenerate gases, bosonic 87Rb and fermionic 40K, will be used in a Raman-pulse interferometer for accelerometry.
Interactions in high density samples such as Bose-condensed gases give rise to systematic shifts in interferometric measurements. Fermionic degenerate gases have a broad momentum distribution but negligible collisions. We plan to study the importance of interaction shifts in our 87 Rb bosonic sample using a Fermi gas of 40K.
This experiment is part of the French collaboration for doing atom-interferometry in micro-gravity: ICE.

Telus Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update finally out
After launching with Android 2.1 on board, then getting updated to Android 2.2 Froyo in December last year (just as Gingerbread was being unveiled), Telus' Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate has finally received its very own taste of the latest version of Google's mobile operating system.
The update isn't of the over-the-air variety and as such requires a Windows computer to be installed. You need to use Samsung's Kies desktop software, and your smartphone needs to be fully charged before starting the procedure. Full installation instructions are available here at Telus.
Surely, it's nice to see that the Fascinate has gotten its Gingerbread slice, although for what was a high-end device when it launched, to get the latest version of the OS more than 8 months after it became available isn't something we'd like to see again. And hopefully we won't have to.

The King Blues have announced that, as of today, they are no longer a band.
A statement on the band's Facebook page reads:
"It is with great sadness and very heavy hearts that we must inform you, that as of today The King Blues are no more.
We are all immensely proud of our body of work. We will be releasing the last The King Blues album entitled 'Long Live The Struggle' as the final chapter. The album will be released in early July 2012.
We simply feel we have taken things as far as they can go and it would be unfair on you if we were to go through the motions like so many other artists do. We all believe strongly in what The King Blues stands for.
Can we take this opportunity to thank you all so much for your support, love and passion down the years.
long live the struggle
in solidarity,
The King Blues"

Weekly Release (PDF) | Live Audio of Saturday's Match
2010 Media Guide (Viewable) | 2010 Media Guide (PDF)
LOS ANGELES - The No. 4 UCLA men's water polo team finishes its regular-season schedule with two matches this weekend. The Bruins (16-4, 4-2) host their final home game of the year against No. 10 Pepperdine (9-12, 1-5) on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. UCLA plays at No. 7 UC Santa Barbara (10-8, 1-4) on Sunday at 1 p.m. in the Bruins' final regular-season contest.
No. 10 Pepperdine (9-12, 1-5) at No. 4 UCLA (16-4, 4-2)
Saturday, November 13 - 4 p.m.
at UCLA's Spieker Aquatics Center
No. 4 UCLA (16-4, 4-2) at No. 7 UC Santa Barbara (10-8, 1-4)
Sunday, November 14 - 1 p.m.
at UC Santa Barbara's Campus Pool
Saturday's MPSF match at Spieker Aquatics Center will feature a live audio broadcast at uclabruins.com, free of charge. UCLA's John Ramey and Mike Sondheimer will call the action of UCLA's final regular-season match from the pool deck in Westwood. Fans can listen to the live audio broadcast by clicking here.
UCLA dropped an MPSF match at USC last Saturday, 8-5, before defeating Air Force, 12-6, in a non-conference game at home on Monday. The loss at USC dropped UCLA into a tie for third place in the MPSF standings with the Trojans. The Bruins can still secure the No. 3 seed in the MPSF Tournament with two wins this weekend and one loss by Stanford in either of its two final MPSF matches.
UCLA won both matches against Pepperdine last season and has yet to play the Waves this fall. The Bruins sport a 64-34-1 all-time record against Pepperdine. The Waves are currently eighth in the MPSF standings with a 1-5 conference mark. UCLA has won its last 29 matches against UC Santa Barbara, a win streak that dates back to Oct. 25, 1992 at the 49er Invitational. The Gauchos enter the weekend in seventh place in the conference standings with a 1-4 MPSF mark.
Saturday's game against Pepperdine will mark the final home contest for UCLA's five seniors. The Bruins will honor Ben Hohl, Clay Jorth, Kevin Kuga, Jacob Murphy and Emilio Vieira prior to Saturday's opening sprint at Spieker Aquatics Center. Over the last four years, this season's senior class has helped lead the Bruins to a combined 76-26 record, including a trip to the championship match of the 2009 NCAA Tournament at Princeton University.
Entering this weekend's MPSF action, California occupies first place with a perfect 6-0 conference record. Stanford is second with a 5-1 record. USC and UCLA are tied for third place, both at 4-2, while the Trojans hold the tiebreak advantage over the Bruins by virtue of last Saturday's result. UC Irvine enters the weekend in fifth place at 3-3. Pacific is sixth (2-3), while UC Santa Barbara (1-4), Pepperdine (1-5) and Long Beach State (0-6) round out the final three teams in the MPSF.
Senior Ben Hohl leads UCLA with 38 goals in 18 games and is tied for fifth place among MPSF players with 2.11 goals per game. He has scored in 15 of 18 games played, totaling at least two goals in 12 matches. Hohl has netted four goals in seven career games, including three contests this fall. His 138 career-goal total is tied with Adam Wright for eighth place on UCLA's all-time goals list.
Three of UCLA's top four scorers hail from the team's sophomore and freshman classes. True sophomores Griffin White and Josh Samuels have scored 21 and 19 goals, respectively. Freshman Cristiano Mirarchi has netted 30 goals, the team's second-highest total. White has scored in 13 matches, while Samuels has totaled six multiple-goal games. Mirarchi leads UCLA with the most goals in a single game this fall, collecting five goals in the Bruins' 10-9 win over Stanford at the NorCal Tournament on Sept. 19.
Freshman James Hartshorne leads all MPSF goalkeepers with 8.56 saves per contest. The former standout at Northwood High School (Irvine) has posted a 6.87 goals against average in nine starts, logging a team-leading 77 saves. Hartshorne's 6.87 goals against average ranks fourth-lowest in the conference. Junior Andrew Mesesan has logged 59 saves in 10 games (six starts), and sophomore Matt Rapacz has registered 32 saves in six matches (five starts).
Seniors Ben Hohl and Jacob Murphy spent a portion of their offseason playing for the USA National Team in Europe. Hohl and Murphy both competed for Team USA at the Volvo Cup in Germany. Hohl continued his stint with the National Team during the summer, playing alongside veteran Team USA attacker Adam Wright (UCLA's second-year head coach). Hohl and Wright helped Team USA finish fourth at the annual FINA World Championships (Oradea, Romania).
Three players on the Bruins' 2010 roster grew up and attended high school outside the United States. Senior Emilio Vieira hails from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and spent two years studying at Golden West College (Huntington Beach, Calif.) before enrolling at UCLA in 2009. Freshmen Aimone Barabino and Cristiano Mirarchi call Italy home. Barabino, from Recco, Italy, spent the 2009-10 school year in New York City, attending La Scuola d'Italia, while Mirarchi attended high school in his hometown of Rome.
As released by the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) on Nov. 10, UCLA has been tabbed No. 4 in the national top-20 rankings. California, USC and Stanford are ranked first, second and third, respectively. UC Irvine and Pacific are ranked fifth and sixth, respectively. Rounding out the poll's top 10 teams are UC Santa Barbara, Loyola Marymount, Long Beach State and Pepperdine.
Adam Wright is midway through his second year as UCLA's head coach. The four-year Bruin letterwinner (1997-2000) and a 2001 graduate of UCLA helped lead the Bruins to a 23-7 record and MPSF Tournament title last fall. Wright represented the United States on the men's national team at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics, leading Team USA to the silver medal in 2008.

Authorities in N.Y. revealed on Jan. 3 that 35-year-old Barry Baldwin of Brooklyn was arraigned on Monday in connection with assaulting five Jewish women in "knockout game" fashion.
According to The Daily News, Baldwin was originally charged with hate crimes because he targeted only Jewish victims. The hate crime charges were later downgraded, with no explanation as to why the charges were downgraded.
The NYPD released a sketch of the knockout game suspect on Christmas Eve.
"Everyone will sleep a little easier," said Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who has been warning the community about the menace.
The N.Y. man was charged with five assaults on the Jewish women, whom he "viciously punched for no apparent reason."
Baldwin was arrested last week, and has been connected to six separate incidents of assaulting Jewish female victims. At his arraignment, he was charged with five assaults – none of them categorized as a hate crime.
Baldwin confessed to five of the assaults, one in Nov. and four in Dec.
According to gothamist, one of Baldwin's knockout victims included a 78-year-old woman, and another female victim who was walking with her 7-year-old daughgter.
The NYPD said that Baldwin apparently sucker punched his unsuspecting female victims at random. He did not provide any reason as to why he assaulted only Jewish women.
Barry Baldwin is being held by the NYPD on $10,000 bail.
For more on the Jewish community being targeted in the knockout game, and the former NYPD cop turned black belt Rabbi who wants potential victims to be able to protect themselves, see the video accompanying this article.

Earlier this year I talked to Frankie Zulferino, formerly of the pop group WOW, about his music, dancing and working with Joe Jonas during the CW's The Next.
According to an interview with Ryan Seacrest, "If you haven't heard of Frankie Zulferino, you will soon. The Staten Island native is a YouTube artist, dancer, and actor who is about to break out onto the scene. In the latest music video for his song "Last Man on Earth," we get a look at his sleek dance moves in front of a romantic backdrop of the sunset and city lights."
Check out Frankie's videos on his YouTube channel here!
Frankie has been staying busy making music and recently completed a 40-day tour of Asia. His rep tells us the tour was a big success with Frankie performing in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou & Chengdu.
China Unlimited sponsored the tour which was primarily put together by Frankie and Rhythm City Entertainment. "Rehearsals took place in New York for a month before Frankie and his four dancers left for China," his rep told us. And all of Frankie's costumes were designed and put together by Dion Deniis and Michele Corio (FrostYourself23).
His rep tells us has constantly been in the recording studio working on his long awaited EP. It should be worth the wait though, as he has been working with Eritza Laues who has written for artists like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.
Check out video footage from Frankie's tour in China HERE!
Be sure and keep up with Frankie for more updates on his new album and soon-to-be-released single!

Looking to buy a Casio Prizm cheap? For the best price on a new or used Prizm, click here to buy yours on Amazon. A small percentage will go to support my work at Tech Powered Math. Thanks for your support!
Since its release in early 2011, the Casio Prizm, or fx-CG10, has been the one calculator that has truly taken some of the attention of students and teachers from the Texas Instruments lineup of graphing calculators. From the first announcement of the Prizm's, Casio had promotional footage touting it as the first true competitor to the TI-Nspire. I don't think there's any doubt that the Prizm did create ripples in Dallas since TI released their own color calculator, the TI-Nspire CX (review) a few month later.
When it first came out, Casio generously provided me an fx-CG10 to review for my readers. I've used it quite a bit over the last couple of years, and I have been very impressed with the Prizm. I did finally feel like it was time to update my Casio Prizm review to give it a 2012-13 perspective. (Full disclosure: In the Spring of 2011, Casio hired me to do promotional videos for their Prizm website, which I was happy to do since I totally believe in this product).
A Color Graphing Calculator?
The Casio Prizm was not the first color graphing calculator, but it was so much better than previous efforts (which only display a few colors), it might as well have been. The Prizm's capabilities in terms of resolution, range of colors, and the ability to display photographs have changed the game, beating Texas Instruments into the color calculator market by a full 6 months. With the tremendous popularity of high resolution iPods and similar devices that have a similar cost to graphing calculators, you do have to wonder why it took so long for someone to try this. The display features over 65,000 colors, a 384 x 216 resolution, and back lighting. It's not entirely surprising that Casio would be the first to take the plunge on a color grapher, as its always been innovative with graphing calculators. It was actually the first company to release a graphing calculator.
Who Is the Casio Prizm Designed For?
This is an all-purpose calculator, designed for students from beginning algebra through calculus and beyond. It includes apps that make it appropriate for use in statistics, financial math, geometry, and more. It's easy to use operating system doesn't require learning a lot of syntax, so a beginner will feel right at home. The Prizm does not have a CAS, or computer algebra system, so it doesn't manipulate variables. That might be a let down for some calculus students, but the fact that the Prizm does not have a CAS makes it legal on almost any standardized test, including ACT, SAT, and AP, and with almost any high school or college math department.
Why I Recommend the Casio Prizm
I'm going to have to pick my favorites here because there are a lot of things I like about the fx-CG10.
First off, it's a gorgeous calculator. It looks good in the press pictures, but it's even better in person. I've even had one of my students make the exact same comment I had when I first saw it: "It looks more like a big cell phone than a calculator." It's sleek, it feels good in your hand, and even though it has a large display, it's not heavy or bulky (a big advantage if you're going to be carrying it in your backpack or purse at school). By printing the key labels under the plastic on the top part of the calculator, on top of the plastic in the middle and using raised keys at the bottom, the Prizm has a cool "stair step" effect to help segment the various functions of the calculator. Even when I have multiple calculators on my desk, I often finding myself reaching for the Prizm due to the "wow" factor.
But looks are not going to be the major factor for most people when buying a Prizm. Performance is more important. Casio was wise to take the best elements of their strong fx-9860GII operating system and incorporate them into the Prizm. That means you get a number of preloaded apps, including Spreadsheets, Dynamic Graphing, Recursive functions, Conic Graphs, Financial math, Dynamic Geometry, and Unit Conversion, all of them displayed with a level of detail and refinement not possible on the fx-9860GII's lower res, black and white display. Additional apps can be uploaded to the calculator via the mini-USB connection that allows the Prizm to interface with computer and paves the way for future operating system updates that have become commonplace with graphing calculators.
This operating system is intuitive and easy to use. It's also fantastic for students and teachers that don't want to learn a lot of calculator syntax. Almost everything is done with symbols, just like you see in a textbook, what some have called "pretty print." That means fractions look like fractions, exponents like exponents, and advanced functions for calculus like summations and integrals also appear just the way they do in the textbook. I also am glad that Casio included features like exact trigonometric values and simplification of radicals. These features are present on some Texas Instruments models but not all (the TI-Nspire does not have them while the TI-Nspire CAS does).
Casio has also been good about issuing updates operating systems for the Prizm. There have been several, the most recent of which is OS 1.04. Recent updates have given the Prizm the ability to autocomplete parentheses and added a period table of elements feature. Operating system updates are always available free at the Casio education website. Your Prizm can be upgraded via the USB cable that comes with the calculator.
Of course, most of the hype surrounding Prizm's has been about its color and "picture plot" abilities. They are very impressive. The color display abilities on the calculator are great. I would compare it to a good non-smartphone. While you won't confuse the Prizm's display with an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, the display is still much better than every other display I've ever seen on a graphing calculator except the TI-Nspire CX. The brightness level is just right to let you see the screen easily in a well lit or darkened room. It's a little tougher outside on a sunny day, but I don't know a lot of people who use their calculator outside.
When graphing, it's great to have the ability to graph each function in a different color to easily distinguish which function is which. Charts and graphs come to life in color on the Prizm. Also, "Picture Plot" is an amazing feature, not seen on any other graphing calculator. You can choose from a number of preloaded images Casio packages with the fx-CG10, or you can load on your own image files. Once loaded, a set of coordinate axes is displayed right over your picture. The idea is you can do "curve fitting" or regressions to find an equation that matches you pictures (imagine trying to find the equation of a parabolic arch in a photograph of architecture). Then, you can guess and check possible equations that could fit until you find one that works. Or, even better, you can plot points right onto the photograph and use the Prizm's regression features to find the equation for you.
Bottom Line Casio Prizm Review
The Prizm is good. It's really, really good. I've rambled on for quite a while, and I'm just scratching the surface of what it can do. Much like the TI-Nspire, the Prizm's educational uses are impossible to sum up in a short review. In my opinion, this is the graphing calculator that best competes with the Texas Instruments lineup of popular calculators. It's attractive, easy to use, powerful, and it doesn't hurt that it's one of the more affordable graphing calculators on the market, often selling for around $100 on Amazon.
