Asthma Center
Asthma can affect so many aspects of a child's life -- playtime, schoolwork, even the ability to get a good night's sleep. So when your child has asthma, you want to do your best to keep it under control.
At the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital, we can help your family find real-life solutions to your child's problem. Our team will work with you to design an effective treatment plan that will help your child stay active -- and out of the emergency room.
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Here, doctors specialize in the comprehensive care of babies, children, and teenagers with mild to severe forms of asthma. Nurses, respiratory therapists, case managers, and social workers are also part of the team. They all work together to ensure that your child's asthma plan is as effective as possible.
Outpatient asthma services are available in several locations, including:
- Pediatric pulmonary outpatient offices
- Pediatric allergy and clinical immunology offices
- General pediatric outpatient offices
Wherever your child receives services, he or she benefits from the best team-based asthma care available, based on the latest national guidelines. For example, your child may receive asthma medicine and devices to help take this medicine. Our nurses and respiratory therapists will work with you and your child to ensure that you understand the care plan and that it will be easy for you to manage at home.
In addition to clinical care, the center's community of asthma experts works together on research and education to offer solutions to the growing problem of asthma, particularly among children in urban neighborhoods. Outreach efforts, including teacher and parent education, are also a top priority at the center.

An Accurate Diagnosis
To determine if your child has asthma, the team will conduct a physical examination and medical history. They also may recommend the following tests:
- Spirometry, which uses a device to measure lung function
- Chest X-rays
- Blood tests
- Allergy tests
- Advanced pulmonary function tests
The University of Chicago was the first hospital in the area to offer infant pulmonary function testing, which allows doctors to accurately measure lung function and diagnose lung conditions in infants.
Following diagnosis, our asthma care team will work with your child's pediatrician to evaluate his or her treatment plan or provide second opinions when needed.
For children suffering from an acute asthma attack, Comer Children's offers state-of-the-art emergency and inpatient care.

New goal
Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez spent an hour Monday morning addressing his pitchers and catchers. He made the point that the pace of the game must improve if the Marlins are going to improve the horrendous defense they've shown the past two years.
Scott Olsen took that to mean he shouldn't spend so much time between pitches pacing behind the mound, kicking the dirt and abusing the rosin bag. If Marlins pitchers work faster, maybe the defense will improve.
Toward that end, when the Marlins position players gather Thursday morning for the first full-squad workout, Fredi plans to issue them a challenge: Finish in the top five in the majors in fielding percentage.
He'd also like to see the errors cut from a majors-worst 137 to something in double digits, maybe even by 50. Sounds like the early edge in the 3B battle goes to Jose Castillo.

AVCHD stands for Advanced Video Codec High Definition. AVCHD is high definition camcorder video format jointly developed by Panasonic and Sony for use in consumer camcorders. And by far some other HD camcorder manufacturers also provide AVCHD supported products, for instance, Canon HF S200, Hitachi DZ-BD10HA, JVC GZ-HM1. AVCHD records video at a range of resolutions including 1080p, 1080i and 720p. Most AVCHD camcorders that advertise themselves as "Full HD" models will record HD video at a resolution of 1080i.
The iPad is a tablet computer designed and developed by Apple. Inc. It is particularly marketed as a platform for audio and visual media such as AVCHD Video playback. At about 700 grams (25 ounces), its size and weight are between those of most contemporary smartphones and laptop computers. Apple released the iPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million of the devices in 80 days. Apple's iPad tablet follows on from the company's iPad and bridges the gap between the iPod touch and iPhone models and its MacBook range of laptops.
Related: AVCHD Converter, AVCHD Player, AVCHD, AVCHD Video, New iPad Air 2/iPad 6 supported video formats
The iPad's Touch Screen display is a 25 cm (9.7 in) Liquid Crystal Display (1024 x 768 pixels) with fingerprint-resistant and scratch-resistant glass. It makes iPad also a perfect AVCHD video playback solution. Such a high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display will make you play and watch AVCHD video on iPad with remarkably crisp and vivid. Watching AVCHD movie and video upon iPad, there is no up or down. It's designed to show off your AVCHD file content in portrait or landscape orientation with every turn. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant AVCHD image, with excellent color and contrast as well. Moreover, thanks to iPad Up to 10 Hours of Battery Life and Wireless Fastest Wi-Fi Networks, it leaves no reason to refuse play and watch AVCHD video on your iPad.
On a computer, you can Play AVCHD Video from the camcorder connected via USB as an external storage device or from the computer's internal hard disk drive. But on iPad, the luck does not go so far. You know the AVCHD file has .mts extension, but Apple iPad device only supports H.264 video up to 720p and MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels. So if you want to make iPad a AVCHD Player, you need to get proper video converter software to convert video from AVCHD to iPad supported formats.
After comparison between the most popular video converter, WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe is dedicatedly designed to convert AVCHD to iPad. The reasons that make WinX surpass other AVCHD video converters is quite enough!
* 1. WinX maintains the best preserved output video quality from the original AVCHD video. According to sufficient knowledge that has been put out in Press Release, we learned AVCHD video is Mostly Similar to MPEG-4 (exactly speaking, AVCHD video utilizes MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (AVC) video compression codec). So when we convert AVCHD video to iPad supported MPEG-4/H.264 video, the visual quality loss is regardless and undistinguishable.
* 2. Play and watch AVCHD video on iPad, you need to resize AVCHD video's 1920x1080 resolution to iPad maximally supported 1280x720 HD MPEG-4/H.264 video. And WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe's Shrink Feature just made for bringing you this convenience.
* 3. With WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe, there is no need to set the conversion parameters manually. Well prepared iPad Profile Setting will save your time and offer you plenty iPad setting options, range from 640x480 MPEG-4 Normal Quality to 1280x720 MPEG-4/H.264 HD quality.
* 4. Furthermore, WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe can even improve your source AVCHD video with its High Quality Engine. It maximally preserves the original image quality, and after transfer AVCHD onto iPad, the output picture is as outstanding as watch on computer.
All AVCHD camcorders except for AVCHD Lite models use recording 1080 Interlaced Video (1080i).When watching converted AVCHD 1080i video on your iPad (since it don't have built-in De-interlacing engine like flat-panel televisions), the image you see from AVCHD video will not be true to the original.
But because of Advanced De-interlacing Engine built-in, WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe supports converting AVCHD video from interlacing to progressive scanning. It will bring you more vivid and smooth AVCHD video image on iPad.
* 5. One of AVCHD video's advantages is that AVCHD video has several Audio/Language tracks. It is just the same case with DVD(AVCHD video is similar to DVD movies, like vivid image and selectable language tracks). Owning to Unique Multi-track Feature, WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe allows you to freely choose AVCHD video audio/language tracks. If your resource AVCHD video is not English or you want to learn other language, it is definitely a useful feature far beyond your imagination.

text: On the Acceptability of the Ambient Tax Mechanism: An Experimental Investigation Volume 1 Jena Economic Research Papers 2007-11-12 2007 2007 Nonpoint Source Pollution Group Decision Making Experiments Acceptability of fiscal instruments Our objective in this paper is to assess the acceptability of the ambient tax. Concretely, we ask subjects to choose between (A) an ambient tax and (B ) an individual tax system. In case (A), they actually participate in a game in which their payoff depends on all participants' decisions and on natural variability as would be the case in the real world if an ambient tax was implemented. In case (B ) they simply earn a sure payoff, which is supposed to reflect their maximal profit under the individual tax system. We take the percentage of agents preferring the ambient tax to a given sure payoff level as an indicator of the acceptability of the ambient tax given this sure payoff level. Our experimental results mitigate the common belief that ambient taxes are totally unacceptable. If the "sure" alternative to the ambient tax policy is very costly for the polluters, for example because it involves high inspection costs, polluters might eventually prefer being liable to an ambient tax. 2007-081 jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2007-11-12T15:11:57.105Z 2010-12-17T11:53:35.849Z

What is the difference between both these things? Are they same? Is there a difference between their capabilities?
The graphics card is the hardware as a whole, while the GPU is a chip, part of the graphics card or an onboard similar, which stands for "Graphics Processing Unit".
Image: GPU on Graphics Card
Graphics card is the piece of hardware that is responsible of producing output to monitor. It has a connector(s) for monitor(s) and another connector to computer motherboard. Graphics card has its own memorymodules and most importantly the graphics processing unit that actually creates the display we see on monitor screen. Modern graphics cards also have power input connectors and their own cooling solutions.
GPU is short from Graphics Processing Unit. It is specially designed processor to most effectively process the displaying needs of a working computer.
GPU is an integral part of a graphics card, so that is the difference between these two.
In previous generations, an integrated GPU was a seperate chip connected over pci, agp or pci-e to the system which was on the motherboard. These processors were in many cases minimal, low powered processors, such as Via unichrome, or intel integrated/HD graphic, though it was entirely possible to find motherboards with better graphics chips like Nvidia or Ati - this is common with laptops, if they arn't using switchable graphics. These days, integrated GPUs are more often embedded into processors and are on the same die. With some older systems, the iGPU used the same PCIe or AGP lanes as the discrete card, so it was not possible to use a discrete card and the iGPU at once. iGPUs also usually share ram with the system. Other than this, its entirely possible that your iGPU can do nearly all the things you need, and/or be on par with a low to medium end discrete card at the very least.
Graphics cards on the other hand are swappable pieces of equipment that, as per their name, come on their own cards. In most cases these tend to have better, more powerful processors, and their own ram. While primarily used for gaming, its possible to use an array of graphics cards for speeding up tasks that require parallel processing like password cracking. You can also, in some cases, get identical cards to work together through crossfire or sli You might also get a graphics card to add more monitors to a system. These days, most graphics cards are PCIe x16 (though means exist to install them on a x1 slot) running at x8 or x16 speeds, or mxm - which is a laptop slot for graphics cards.
A very good explanation from howstuffworks. Here is the gist:
It's a PCB (printed circuit board) similar to the motherboard. Just as a motherboard has got a 'primary' RAM and a CPU, a graphics card too has got a RAM and GPU (graphics processing unit). GPU is designed to process much faster than the CPU (usually needed in computer games).

This book chronicles many of the best images that I've produced from some 14 trips to King Island since 1992. These trips were usually magazine assignments, involving professional surfers. Of the 14 trips, only a couple never quite made it to print. For me, it's always an exciting place photographically because it often has such awesome atmospherics. There's always some kind of cool natural lighting happening, which suits my style of photography well.
I originated from Australia's island state of Tasmania and quickly found my way into Sydney's thriving surf scene as a teenager. I picked up a camera one day back in 1977 and haven't looked back since. My work appears with great regularity in magazines all over the world as do my images commercially. I've been building my presence as an art photographer in recent years and have now gaining a following for my art prints. I've had 2 professionally published books, entitled "Oceans" and "Fotografius da Alma" Thank you for taking the time to view my photography.

They take an older ship and upgrade it to a Solstice Class ship…instead of building from scratch. :-)

It would be great if you could post some pictures of the upgraded cabins. I'm sailing on the Summit and am especially interested in seeing what the Concierge cabins and balconies look like now.

Would love to see pictures of the pool deck, the MDR, and to know whether there are still shower curtains (or if they put in doors).

Hello from Celebrity Summit! @Drodriguez, I'm actually staying in a Concierge-class balcony cabin. Check our Facebook page later tonight for a photo. @Kristin, just be sure to keep following us here on the blog this week — we've already snapped shots of those areas for future posts. Oh, and unfortunately the shower curtains are still in places, and I managed to soak my bathroom floor this morning attempting to avoid the cling.
February 13th, 2012 @ 12:15 am
We've got a cruise booked on 4/28 re-positioning in a A-2 cabin — problem is I have no idea what they look like, Sq. ft., size of balcony, etc.any chance someone can report on these cabins?

Hi Drodriguez,
The reviews I have been reading for 12/11 and 1/12 express disappointment in the food, especially at dinner, and fitness only gets ratings of 2-3. A well=equipped fitness room is vital to my husband. What is your opinion on these areas. Was the renovation fabulous and did it improve these areas? We are trying to decide between this cruise or Caribbean Princess. Thanks:)

Hurt: Misunderstood and Totally Different
I began reading Hurt: Inside the World of Today's Teenagers by Chap Clark this weekend have been absolutely blown away so far. I decided to blog about what I'm reading as I read it, and after only 15 pages I think I have enough for a dozen posts!
Needless to say, it's an amazing book. I'm taking it slow so I can soak it all in.
In chapter one, Chap makes the case that the common adult view of adolescents is fundamentally flawed. Most adults see "kids" today as pretty much the same kids they've always been, just different on the surface. They're more selfish, more spoiled, or lazier than ever before, but those surface issues are not the only difference between this generation and previous generations.
In reality, adolescents today are completely different than any other generation before them, and the nature of adolescents in our culture is rapidly changing.
How exactly is adolescence changing?
- Adolescence is an invention of Western culture that did not exist before 1900.
- Prior to 1900, "kids" assumed adult roles in society around age 16.
- Children used to be treated as society's most valuable treasure.
- The cultural revolution of the 1960′s marked the death of adult-led institutions focus on youth.
- The cultural shifts between 1960 and the late 1990′s left adults scrambling for their own safety, security and rest.
- Society continues to stretch out and lengthen adolescence.
- It is difficult to even find an accepted definition of adolescence. We can't figure out what we can't even define.
"No longer was there energy and health available for giving to others. Instead, adults waged a fight for emotional and relational survival, and this in turn spilled over into the developmental longings of adolescents…
"As society in general moved from being a relatively stable and cohesive adult community intent on caring for the needs of the young to a free-for-all of independent and fragmented adults seeking their own survival, individual adolescents found themselves in a deepening hole of systemic rejection." (p. 33, emphasis mine)
That rejection, Chap argues, has become the foundation for the unique struggles our youth face today.
I'm looking forward to reading more and will keep you posted. If this caught your attention, pick up a copy and join me.

OUR OBJECTIVESAfter experiencing first hand the effects of having a child with a life-threatening condition and the trauma felt by the whole family, Patti and Alan Bradshaw wanted to help other children and their families who sadly found themselves in similar situations.
Since 2002 the Shannon Bradshaw Trust has been raising money through fundraising events which have helped many sick children and their families throughout the North West.
See more about our aims and objectives
In February 2002 doctors at Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool, diagnosed Shannon as having a life threatening condition Aplastic Anaemia. She had just turned 7, before that she had been a happy, healthy little girl.
After being told a bone marrow transplant was her only hope of a cure, but with no suitable donor on the register, her aunt Jackie organised Blood Donor clinics throughout the North West. This resulted in almost 7000 people registering with the Anthony Nolan Trust, an organisation specialising in matching patients with suitable bone marrow donors.
Unfortunately, by the time a perfect match was found Shannon was too ill to have the life-saving operation and sadly, on the 17 July 2002, just 5 short months after first diagnosis, Shannon lost her very brave battle.

Opinion 2.138 - Genetic Testing of Children
Genetic testing of children implicates important concerns about individual autonomy and the interest of the patients. Before testing of children can be performed, there must be some potential benefit from the testing that can reasonably be viewed as outweighing the disadvantages of testing, particularly the harm from abrogating the children's future choice in knowing their genetic status. When there is such a potential benefit, parents should decide whether their children will undergo testing. If parents unreasonably request or refuse testing of their child, the physician should take steps to change or, if necessary, use legal means to override the parents' choice. Applying these principles to specific circumstances yields the following conclusions:
(1) When a child is at risk for a genetic condition for which preventive or other therapeutic measures are available, genetic testing should be offered or, in some cases, required.
(2) When a child is at risk for a genetic condition with pediatric onset for which preventive or other therapeutic measures are not available, parents generally should have discretion to decide about genetic testing.
(3) When a child is at risk for a genetic condition with adult onset for which preventive or other therapeutic measures are not available, genetic testing of children generally should not be undertaken. Families should still be informed of the existence of tests and given the opportunity to discuss the reasons why the tests are generally not offered for children.
(4) Genetic testing for carrier status should be deferred until either the child reaches maturity, the child needs to make reproductive decisions, or, in the case of children too immature to make their own reproductive decisions, reproductive decisions need to be made for the child.
(5) Genetic testing of children for the benefit of a family member should not be performed unless the testing is necessary to prevent substantial harm to the family member.
When a child's genetic status is determined incidentally, the information should be retained by the physician and entered into the patient record. Discussion of the existence of this finding should then be taken up when the child reaches maturity or needs to make reproductive decisions, so that the individual can decide whether to request disclosure of the information. It is important that physicians be consistent in disclosing both positive and negative results in the same way since if physicians raise the existence of the testing results only when the results are positive, individuals will know what the results must be. This information should not be disclosed to third parties. Genetic information should be maintained in a separate portion of the medical record to prevent mistaken disclosure.
When a child is being considered for adoption, the guidelines for genetic testing should be the same as for other children. (IV)

Developed by Subcommittee: E33.02 | Committee E33 | Contact Staff Manager
1. Scope
Speech privacy is a concern addressed by the HIPAA regulations in all healthcare facilities, which requires that reasonable safeguards be provided to ensure the confidentiality of protected medical and financial information about patients. This standard is expected to be applied to cases of overheard conversations between 2 closed spaces, such as patient treatment rooms, doctors offices, patient rooms,etc, or between one of these closed rooms to an adjacent open area, such as a corridor, waiting area, registration area, etc. This standard specifies a measurement method to determine the noise reduction between 2 locations of interest for the talker and unintended Listener, and a statistical source level for the talker represented as a % of time not exceeded. This methodology will result in an expression of the intruding sound level that will not be exceeded by % of time, such as 10%, 5%, 1%, etc. The actual Privacy Level expectation can be calculated with inclusion of the measured background noise level.
Requirements for speech privacy are already dictated in GGHC (green guide for healthcare), FGI (facility guidelines institute), and requirements are currently being developed at ASA for an ANSI performance standard. All of these will require that a standard method be available for the verification of speech privacy performance in healthcare spaces.

I learned how to knit 2 wks before my wedding 49 yrs ago, because everything was done for the wedding. I did counted cross stitch alot about 30 yrs ago. Somewhere along the line I learned to crochet, and 6-7 yrs ago I learned to quilt. I do more quilting than anything now, but I crochet and knit some, too. I always have several things going at once. That pretty well sums up my crafting. Oh, I also reside in Crystal Falls, MI part of the year.

As the mother of two boys (one is 7, the other is 17), I'm no stranger to the world of car and booster seats and respect the importance of ensuring all passengers are safely belted into any moving vehicle. I'm frightened by the footage I've seen that demonstrates the impact of airbags on the human body, and even more fearful of its powerful force on my offspring.
I've written enough articles on Car Seat and Booster Seat safety to educate a driving school on the topic. In my mind there is no excuse for NOT BUCKLING kids into the car.
I recently followed and reported a taxi driver in Encino who had a young boy (maybe five or six years old) not just IN THE FRONT SEAT, but HANGING OUT OF the passenger window like a dog enjoying the breeze. The driver told me it was none of my business, but his employer took it very seriously when I called in his car number to report his dangerous driving. And in case you're curious, there was no other passenger in the car, so it was either HIS OWN KID, or he was transporting the child as a paying passenger.
I also remember the time a few years ago when I stopped a woman on her way into the Reseda preschool my youngest boy attended. It was clear to me that her small charge was out of the car too quickly to have escaped the treachery of the buckle release with his little hands. Sure enough, when I peeked through the window I could see the rear passenger seat buckle hidden under a blanket and the latches on the required car seat still snapped into their connections. That four-year-old was rattling around in the back seat like a sack of groceries.
With the authority of a pompous automotive journalist and self-righteous mom, I reminded her of her responsibility to ensure her child's safety and scolded her for not properly protecting her child. When she told me she was the Grandma, I reminded her that the parents of that child would be shocked and disappointed if they were to learn how Grandma had carelessly placed their treasure in such danger. She didn't seem concerned at all by my tongue-lashing.
Look people: It doesn't matter whether you're driving down the driveway, down the block, or to Grandma's house in the Inland Empire: never overlook the 30 seconds it takes to secure your children properly. It sets an example to them that you value their safety and love them enough to protect them however you can.

Calico Teapot
- Details
- Delivery & Returns
A jaunty handle, voluptuous spout and kindly dimensions - this teapot just lives for elevenses. 'Fallen prunus blossom on cracked ice' is the springtime theme behind Burleigh's Calico range. The deep cobalt blue pattern took its inspiration from early Victorian illustrations and has been a well-loved favourite for over 40 years.
Traditional techniques meet contemporary country-house style with Burleigh earthenware. Each piece is made in their Victorian pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, with clay from Devon and Cornwall. Their distinctive designs are applied by hand using underglaze transfer printing, a now-rare, 250-year-old process. No wonder, then, that the Burleigh name is synonymous worldwide with English heritage, craftsmanship and quality.

'Breaking Dawn' Beats Out Family Films At Box Office
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1″ beat out a quartet of family films to take the top slot at the weekend box office.
"Breaking Dawn" (Summit Entertainment) took in $42 million to take the number one slot, according to early estimates from Hollywood.com. Final figures are due out on Monday.
"Breaking Dawn" is perhaps the goriest of the "Twilight" films so far, and features the bloody birth of a half-human vampire baby. The most recent installment of the supernatural horror/romance franchise posed a stark contrast to some of the other film offferings this weekend, which were aimed at (nonvampire) families.
"The Muppets" (Disney), riding overwhelmingly positive reviews, took the number two slot with $29.5 million.
The animated film "Happy Feet Two" (Warner Bros.) finished third with $13.4 million.
"Arthur Christmas" (Sony/Columbia) placed fourth with $12.7 million.
The new Martin Scorsese film "Hugo" (Paramount), which has drawn raves from critics, took the fifth spot with $11.35 million.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 20 November 1836; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18361120-TC-MAC-01; CL 9:85-90.
Chelsea, 20th November, 1836—
My dear Mother,
Tho' I have nothing any way special to say, I think of writing to you tonight, as I have an hour at my own disposal; and I am very sure you will be glad to hear me even say nothing. I am at the end of another Chapter in that weary Book of mine: writing to you is a little piece of recreation that I think always I have merited in those cases. I used to come driving over from Puttoch personally, when I had finished any small feat of that sort; so now I send off a written sheet; which, tho' as old Parliament-Geordie1 said of striking the Dog is but a "puir revenge," is the next-best I can do.— There are franks attainable now too; certain "honourable members" having got back to Town again.
We have had a most quiet time of it, ever since I wrote last; very solitary, which when you are busy is not dull: all people that can manage it run out of London in the Autumn; down to the sea-shore, over to the Continent, to Scotland, Wales &c; this they esteem an essential condition of existence. My way, could I manage it, would be to quit London in the broiling dog-days, of July, when all is like a furnace with heat and smoke; and to spend these back-end months in London, where they are usually as pleasant as elsewhere. But these people manage this, like much else, in a way of their own.— One good consequence is that, being left so much alone, if you have work to do, you get on faster with it then than at any other season. About this time, however, everybody is returning; almost all our friends are got back; and the old system resumes its course again. That it brings franks with it you will not esteem the worst quality of it.
This Chapter which I have just ended carries me to within forty-five pages of the end of the Book! I expect to have a bit of wrestling yet with it; but to be thro' about Newyears day. You must tell Alick and Jean and all my friends to be patient with me till then. I have no heart to write to any one, about anything, while in such a tumult. But were I once "borne thro' with an honourable throughbearing,"2—then it will be a very different matter.— Under the article of Works, I must also tell you that the first half of my little History of the Diamond Necklace, which I spoke of last time, is actually printed for Fraser, and will appear next month with my name; the second half on the following month. Copies are to be kept for me (I mean, Separate-Copies), and I will take care to have one forwarded to you, as soon after as possible. Also the Article on Mirabeau (his name is pronounced Mirabo) will certainly appear in January; and likewise probably in the same Number of Mill's Review another little Article I have written on the French Revolution, or rather on the Books that have heretofore been written about it.3 The Copy of Mirabeau will also be sent you; and of the last little thing too, if it seem to be worth anything. I rather think it will be worth almost nothing,—except some ten or twelve guineas to myself. Lastly they write to me from America that their Edition of Teufelsdröckh is altogether sold: poor Teufelsdröckh!4 Mill declares he is going to review it here.5 So that you see, with the commencement of the year, there is going to be quite an explosion! "Not killed, my merry men"! not at all: "we'll lie and bleed a while, then rise and fight again."6
Above a month ago there came to me a Painter, he is a man named Lewis7 whom I once saw for a moment in Dumfries; he is now come to settle in London; and did most earnestly request me to come and sit for my Picture, that he might exhibit it next Summer in the general Exhibition, and do himself good thereby. The Picture after that to be mine. Leigh Hunt's son's Picture, of which I think I once told you, came to nothing: after six sittings, it grew always the uglier without being the liker; whereupon I silently gave it up. Of this Lewis however, on looking at the Pictures he had already done, we could hope better: Jane earnestly persuaded me to go; nay the poor thing was determined to have me drawn with money out of her own poor Clothes purse—"before I grew quite old": so I went, and the thing is done. It is glaringly recognisable; has a distinct likeness of you in it: he has drawn me sitting in a chair; down all the way to the knees and lower all is given; it is the size of your window and larger. I do not like it myself; but I do like much that I am done with it. The man Lewis has decidedly a kind of talent, I think; and with great good humour which he also has may make way here. I got considerable amusement from rugged Glasgow stories he kept telling me all the while; there is nothing of that kind to be had in Cockneydom. One of the anecdotes he gave is this, which I have laughed at, twenty times since: An old Coal-miner was bragging of the great depths he had been to in the heart of the Earth; a neighbour wished to know, how deep specially? the other said, he could not tell how deep it might be; but he had "many a time heard the Deevil hoasting [coughing]—" which certainly was deep enough!— As for the Picture, I hope you will see it sometime, were it only for its likeness to the Mother of the Original. It is probable that it will go to Templand to be hung up ultimately: in this house, under my own eyes, I cannot suffer it.8 So now we will quit this business; and leave it to its fate.
Two or three days ago, there came here to call on us a Miss Martineau, whom you have perhaps heard of in the Examiner; a hideous Portrait of her was given in Fraser, one month.9 She is a notable Literary Woman of her day; has been travelling in America these two years, and is now come home to write a Book about it.10 She pleased us far beyond expectation: she is very intelligent-looking, really of pleasant countenance; was full of talk, tho' unhappily deaf almost as a post, so that you have to speak to her thro' an ear-trumpet. I think she must be some five-and-thirty. As she professes very "favourable sentiments" towards this side of the street, I mean to cultivate the acquaintance a little, and see whether it will lead to aught. She invited me to dinner "for Tuesday"; but I had a Cold, that day she came; and do not think I shall venture.— My cold indeed is about gone; but I must not tempt it back with night-air. It was one of the most effectual colds while it lasted; which, indeed, was properly only one day: water poured from eyes and nose; I was one of the miserablest sniftering objects: but by blue-pill & senna, I expelled the enemy; confined myself two days (writing, but holding my nose off the paper), this day I was out again and had a long walk: I feel now as if I were better considerably than before the thing came at all. I had been pining about, for two or three weeks; and I think all that salt rheum run out of me has taken some of the impurities with it. We have had the miserablest weather here; almost like yours, I fear. There was snow when you had snow; continual changes; drip, drip, nothing but damp and darkness. I suppose, that may account for worse health than ours has been. Jane holds up as well as possible: she has hardly had one bad head ache since she came back; her trip to Scotland, doleful as it was, has done her good.
You got a French Newspaper from Jack; and were able to make the word Marseille on it? Marseille is the Southernmost Town in France, where they embark for Italy. Jack gave token of all being well there. I am daily expecting another Letter from him; perhaps from Rome itself. The Cholera they say is gone from Italy; or at least the quarantine impediments have ceased. There would be a Letter from me, I hope, waiting at Rome. Jack was requested to write, directly "when he had got a Lodging for himself.["] I sent two Newspapers also; according to the wish he expressed in that Letter to you, which he very considerately sent in by me. John Sterling, who is at Bourdeaux (also in the South of France but in the West South) had had a Letter from Jack: but I believe our Marseille Newspaper was a day or two later. Sterling speaks of going to Italy perhaps; which would be a very great comfort to Jack.— Whenever I get any farther word, I will give you notice of it, by Newspaper or otherwise.— John Mill, who is just returned from these regions, and indeed was here with me a long while today, had lost no fewer than ten Letters by the uncertainty of foreign Posts. Mill is very considerably improved in health; tho' still complaining of his head somewhat.
I know not how much I would give for a bird's eye view of Scotsbrig, for one half hour, at present. Much pluistering [working in mud] and splashing there has been there, no doubt, in this wild harvest: but better or worse, it is all got over now. With what results? Tell James to write a Postscript himself: or Isabella can do it. But it is you, good Mother, that must begin. I many times wonder how you are getting on in the upper story yonder, amid the wild gusty winds. Has your health not suffered sadly in such weather? That there has been nothing serious going wrong, I infer always from James Aitken's Newspaper Address. But colds and the like are almost inevitable. Do you keep good fires? I think you have a kind of conscience that way. There is nothing like fire, in such weather. I hope my saddle and you are very dry there; and do not let the dreary winter take hold of you too much. There will be little Travelling practicable in these months; but they must travel to you: it is a great thing also that you have a faculty for reading. I wish I knew any Books I could send you, or any thing else: I can only send Letters and Scrawls; but that is a reason the more why I ought not to neglect them. Were the bright weather come back again, I have a hope of seeing you and Scotland again: a lighter-hearted man than I was last time!— I have sent the Examiner forward these two last weeks, to Jenny at Manchester to be sent on to you: I know not how it answers; or whether I ought to continue that plan. If they are punctual, it will detain but one day for you; which I daresay you do not mind at all. I know not whether either Rob or Jenny care about reading Newspapers; but doubtless they will always like to see the two strokes on the back. When I send them two strokes, you are to take their two strokes for a sign that all is well here too. I must write to them, and settle about it. After Newyear!— Has Alick ever been to Manchester yet? Or what is he doing; how is he getting on, poor fellow? A Letter from him, full of news about himself, would be a great compliment to me; but I can hardly expect it till I write first. You must tell us also about Mary and her James and household. I can only guess about you all. Fen' [Maintain yourselves] like fell [sturdy] bodies! and keep a good heart always. There is nothing in the world like a heart. "If thou tine [lose] heart, thou tines a'!"—— I noticed in the Newspapers poor Andrew Lawson's death.11 Emerson the American friend writes me a most gentle affectionate Letter about the sudden death of a beloved Brother of his. He was one of the most promising young men in America, I understand; was just going to be married, and Emerson was "enlarging his house" for new accommodation,—when alas the Narrow House proved the one appointed!12— He is a good man, that Emerson; nothing can be better than the pious way he takes this great Loss. He has sent a little Book13 of his writing too, which is extremely good in spirit—I will break off abruptly tonight; but add a word on the cover.14 Best good night!

New Smyrna Beach football ready to take off for New Jersey
Published: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 6:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 6:51 p.m.
When New Smyrna Beach football coach Lance Jenkins signed up his team for a trip to the Big Apple and a game against a national power, he reckoned most of his players would be in for a shock.
WHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Overpeck Park, Leonia, N.J.
RECORDS: New Smyrna Beach (1-1); New Jersey St. Joseph Regional (1-0)
FILE: NSB safety Cole Holcomb likened St. Joseph Regional to a better version of Merritt Island, whom NSB fell to 32-27 in the season opener. Still, Holcomb said he believes this is a game the 'Cudas can win. NSB may hold a speed advantage at some of the skill positions, but St. Joseph Regional has a handful of FBS prospects, homefield advantage and a national ranking (preps website Maxpreps.com ranks them eighth in the nation) on its side.
THE PICK: St. Joseph Regional 35-17
— Brian Linder
"A lot of my kids, the tallest building they have seen is The Moontide in New Smyrna Beach," he said, referring to the 13-story condominiums on South Atlantic Avenue.
That all changed Friday morning when the 'Cudas took flight from Orlando to New York to begin preparing for tonight's contest against 16-time New Jersey state champion St. Joseph Regional. The game is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. at Overpeck Park in Montvale, N.J., about 25 miles northwest of New York City.
Jenkins said the game won't be televised, but WSBB 1230 AM is scheduled to stream audio coverage on its website (myam1230.com).
For NSB, though, its 1,055-mile journey to the big city is not all about football.
Jenkins said the trip will also be used as an educational experience, and that's why Friday's itinerary included a stop at the 9/11 Memorial in lower Manhattan.
The 'Cudas are also slated to bring home a nice paycheck. Jenkins said St. Joseph Regional is paying his team $20,000, and that, after expenses, NSB should net about $5,000 to $7,000. He said that is as much as the team usually makes for a home game.
Junior safety Cole Holcomb might be the only player on the team who had traveled to New York City before Friday. He said he visited several times because he has family in Albany.
"It's going to be a whole new experience for a lot of these kids," he said as he scanned the team's practice field Tuesday. "It will be an experience like they have never had in their life. We don't really get out of the state of Florida too much."
In fact, it is rare that any Volusia/Flagler area team steps outside of Florida for a game. The last to do so was Mainland, which went to South Gwinnett High outside Atlanta in 2008 and won 34-14.
Even Jenkins said the trip will be a new experience to him.
"When I was here before we took an eight-hour bus ride to Pensacola for a game," he said. "But that is it."
Prep teams traveling out of state for high-profile games is a growing trend, and one that Jenkins said he hoped to be a part of again.
"I think it is neat," he said. "It is a good experience for our kids, and we get to play a very well-coached team and find out where we are.
"And we are going to see the greatest city in the world. We are going to see the financial capital of the world, if you think about it. We will go to the 9/11 Memorial, spend some time in Times Square and go through Harlem and see a lot of the culture there."
'Cudas standouts, quarterback Marcus Johnson and tailback D'Cota Dixon, said they were both excited about the opportunity to make the trip, but both said they will be focused on bringing home a win.
"I feel like there are big expectations," Dixon said. "We are not just representing our home, we are representing the state of Florida and football in the South."
"Not a lot of people know about New Smyrna Beach, so we want to put New Smyrna on the map," Johnson said. "We want to show them what New Smyrna and football in the state of Florida is all about."
That could be easier said than done. NSB will enter the game 1-1, while St. Joseph (1-0) is ranked eighth in the nation by the prep sports website Maxpreps.com.
"They are good," Holcomb said. "But I feel like we can beat them."

Panama City - Bay Medical EMS says thanks to some new upgrades it's made, we'll all get the help we need a lot faster. EMS recently added a new communication system between it's communication center and ambulances that help relay important information quickly.
Bay Medical Emergency Management Services already has better response times well above the national average.
"It shaves about 45 seconds off of a city call, which is a lot of time considering you can bleed to death in a minute," EMS Director Corky Young said. And those response times should continue to drop, with the help these new maps. "System paid for itself right off the bat. I was going into work one morning and the computer alerted me of a 9-1-1 call about three blocks away and before the caller could give our communication center all the information, i was already knocking at the door."
The new system alerts all the ambulances of a 9-1-1 call before a dispatcher can relay the call. Laptops in the ambulances even speak to the paramedics, telling them what part of the county the emergency is taking place.
That removes any question over which ambulance can respond the quickest.
"At the click of a button, we're able to see our entire fleet anywhere in the county so it's a huge advantage to know where everyone's at," EMS Supervisor Captain Eddie Kemp said.
The new systems turn-by-turn directions also help avoid shuffling through a book of maps.
Young says times will continue to improve once everyone gets used to the new system.

Is it possible to commit the perfect crime without getting caught over one minor detail? Unfortunately, that's not the case and is often part of the premise behind ABC's second season of "Motive," which had a group of police detectives finding out why a person was killed in order to get to the who part of the mystery. Sure, cop shows have been done repeatedly in recent years in various degrees, but the show's execution helped to make it stand out above some of them.
"Motive" followed Detective Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman) and her partner Detective Oscar Vega (Louis Ferreira) as they often put the legal limits to solve a murder case. Despite their very different personalities, Flynn and Vega made their partnership work because they had a level of trusts that most cops don't have with their colleagues. They compliment each other, because Vega helped to reign Flynn before one of her impulsive case ideas threatened to get her into some serious trouble. Unfortunately, the partners weren't able to overlook a secret from Angie's past that could ruin their once strong partnership for good. The arrival of Sergeant Mark Cross (Warren Christie) was a change in leadership for Angie as she watched someone she despised become her new boss for reasons that only she knew about. She pretended to Vega that it was because he should've gotten the promotion instead of Cross, but she hinted that she had a past connection with Cross that went horribly bad years earlier. Vega sensed the strong tension between them, but he won't address it just yet to keep the peace with everyone. Meanwhile, Dr. Betty Rogers (Lauren Holly) was eager to flirt with the new boss, while she was doing her job as the medical examiner. She was told by Flynn to not go there with Cross, but she wasn't given an explanation either. The only one that seemed truly keen on Cross' arrival was Detective Brian Lucas (Brendan Penny) who was eager to prove to everyone that he was no longer a rookie and was able to improve his detective skills. Will the tension between Cross and Flynn ruin the department before it had a chance to truly come together?
In terms of questions, "Motive" posed a few but the bigger ones usually revolved around how a murderer was going to get caught each week. During the season premiere, it was a shocking reveal that a seemingly nice regular guy turned out to have killed two people for very different reasons. One was an accident, while the other was to cover up the first crime. Both victims were innocent and didn't deserve to die the ways that they did. The premiere also examined the brewing dynamic between Flynn and her colleagues. Her complicated relationship with her now 18 year old son was pretty much written off of the show, except for a brief mention early on in the episode. It's a shame that viewers don't get to see Flynn's family life anymore, but it's probably all for the best because the plots sometimes pulled away from the cases themselves. The show also managed to pick guest stars who were able to change over the course of an episode from regular people to unglued guilty people who needed desperately to be arrested. This week's upcoming episode is expected to feature Jennifer Beals as a possible killer, or victim depending on which angle, who may have had a darker motive in mind for her crime. Obviously, the show will either take the episode into one of two directions, which is to have the character become an obvious murderer for selfish reasons or truly be justified in their actions. Let's hope that the choice will be a somewhat less obvious one, but only time will tell. Fingers crossed that the show will continue to examine the tension between Cross and Flynn, because Lehman and Christie had an interesting rapport that could turn into something more; or less, down the line.
As for breakout performances, Lehman and Ferreira led the pack because their interactions were often the driving force behind each episode. Lehman played Flynn as the tough no non-sense detective who often broke as many rules as she could to secure a conviction. She embodied Flynn as someone who could be tough, silly and even someone who could hold a grudge. The last one was a side that hadn't been revealed until the season premiere. It was a nice twist to see Flynn not get along with someone for reasons unknown for now. Lehman had a dynamic with Christie that was very different from hers with Ferreira, which was much more easygoing and provided some necessary moments of levity. It would be a nice plot twist to see Lehman's usually put together Flynn be forced to go undercover or on a date to get the character out of her comfort zone. Of course, both scenarios would have to have some connection to a case for it make any type of sense. If not, the story would eventually end up on the cutting room floor as well. Ferreira, on the other hand, had the more challenging task of playing the show's straight man who had to usually keep a straight face or play by the rules to keep things on a level playing field. He embodied Vega as an easygoing detective who never let much of anything bother him, which will likely change soon enough. It would be nice for viewers to get to see the character in a different light, or involved in a case without his partner once in a while just to test the waters. Hopefully, future episodes will eventually test that idea at some point this season or the next one if need be.
"Motive" premiered on May 21st and airs Wednesdays at 10:00 PM on ABC.
Verdict: Despite a familiar premise, the show's different spin on the standard plot twists helps to keep things interesting, especially with a cast willing to shake things up.

Never fails to impress!
Ever since 'Finally' established itself as the don of all Balearic club anthems, Sandy Rivera's Kings of Tomorrow project has continued to inspire awe for the realms of deep and melodic House. But having comfortably executed a strong summer contender in 'Show Me' earlier this year, Rivera returns to Defected to preview the follow-up release, entitled 'Let Me Tell You Something'.
Where Rivera's own A-side mix plunges deep into the deep and bass-heavy House stylings that we have come to associate with his Kings Of Tomorrow moniker, the B-side sees him bring aboard Warsaw DJ Claudia Castel for an alternative remix of vintage synths and dark grooves throughout.

Robin Hood the Clean is an episode of The Backyardigans from the third season.
Characters Present
Tyrone, Uniqua and Tasha live in Filthingham, the filthiest village in the world. Ewww! They all want to take a bath and be clean, but Mayor Stinkypants has banned cleanliness from the village and locked all the cleaning supplies in the dungeon. To make matters worse, today is the Festival of Dirt. More filth! Frustrated, Tyrone sneaks away to the forest to find Robin Hood the Clean. He comes and cleans the village and Mayor Stinkypants learns that it's more fun to be clean. Everyone gets their cleaning supplies back, Mayor Stinkypants lifts the ban on clean and changes the Festival of Dirt to the Festival of Soap!
Uniqua, Tyrone, and Tasha are first seen in the backyard's mud puddle. They are all covered with dirt and grime. Each of the three explain to the viewer how they are the villagers of Filthingham, the dirtiest and stinkiest village in the world. Austin, Mayor Stinkypants, walks up to them and tells the trio that being dirty is good. All four sing Everything is Filthy in Filthingham. After the song is over, the backyard transforms into the village of Filthingham, where everyone is getting ready for "the Festival of Dirt".
The three villagers peek into the dungeon. All of their soap and cleaning items are locked away in it. Tyrone tells Tasha and Uniqua that he has the last bar of soap in Filthingham right in his hands. The girls are glad. Stinkypants suddenly walks up to the villagers for inspection. He checks Uniqua, then Tasha, but smells something funny on Tyrone. He sniffs out his soap and goes to lock it in the dungeon with all the others.
Tyrone can't take anymore of this. He sings, along with Uniqua and Tasha, We Wish We Could Wash. After the song is over, Tyrone heads out to Purewood Forest to find Robin Hood the Clean, the only one who can make everything clean again. Robin Hood was sent to the forest by the mayor of Filthingham because nothing was dirty with him around. Robin Hood spots Tyrone, and thinks that he is trying to stop him. So Pablo (Robin Hood) jumps out to Tyrone to stop him. Tyrone explains to Robin Hood that he has a plan on how he can sneak in and get the town clean again. They sing the song Robin Hood the Clean. Robin Hood refuses. Tyrone tells him that "Mitty", Robin Hood's favorite bath mitt, is locked in there as well. Robin Hood wants to get started as soon as possible.
Robin Hood disguises as a villager and is not sure if he wants to go along with Tyrone's plan anymore. Tyrone reminds him of Mitty and Pablo dashes into the disgusting village. Robin Hood pretends to be a mud-loving villager in front of the mayor so he is not recognized. After he gets past Stinkypants, he runs into the castle, which the dungeon is located. Robin Hood is shown running into a deep chamber.
Meanwhile, the Festival of Dirt is starting. First, it is time for a game of mud throw. Uniqua throws from a few feet away, and misses. Stinkypants, the mayor, throws from about an inch away and gets the ball into the center of the target. Uniqua is furious and asks Stinkypants why he cheated. Stinkypants answers that he did not cheat, because there two lines on the ground, the red one is for villagers and the blue one is for mayors. Uniqua, because of her loss, is thrown into the Stinky Booth, where losers go.
Next, it is time for a game of tin balancing the rules are, whoever can keep their mud pies balancing the longest on their head wins. Tasha loses, and then the mayor reveals that he glued his tins together, because mayors are allowed to do that. Tasha because of her loss, goes to the Stinky Booth.
Finally, it is time for a game of long jump. Stinkypants and Tyrone compete. The rules are, whoever jumps the farthest across the mlong pit wins. Tyrone misses the end, but then the mayor says that he meant short jump, and jumps for a very short distance, and explains that mayors are allowed to change the rules. Inside the castle, Robin Hood has gotten to a dead end. He knows that there might be a hidden door behind all of the mud on the walls. He scrubs away the mud with a toilet cleaner. A door is revealed. He opens it. Robin Hood finds the dungeon. He starts to get everything out of it, including Mitty.
At the festival, Tyrone has lost the game and is about to be thrown into the Stinky Booth where all of the losers will be dunked. He is very nervous. Robin Hood has gotten out of the castle and has already started to clean the fountain, and fresh water is squirting out of it. He jumps up to the mayor and rips off his villager disguise. He holds Mitty out to him. Robin Hood creates Mitty's voice as saying "Hello. I'm Mitty. And I love you!". Stinkypants is terrified and tries to walk away backwards from the mitt. He trips over the edging of the fountain and falls into the water, getting clean with all the villagers. Tyrone, now with his Rubber Ducky, tells Stinkypants that baths are fun. Uniqua and Tasha do so, too. Stinkypants realizes it too, and seems to forget about how good being dirty is, renaming the Festival of Dirt to the Festival of Soap. They sing the song The Festival of Soap, while Robin Hood cleans the whole town.
Austin's stomach growls. He proclaims it to be snack time and invites everyone to his house for oatmeal raisin cookies. The village of Filthingham turns into the backyard again as the five friends sing the end song. They all run into Pablo's house. Tyrone, Tasha, and Uniqua open the door after entering and yell, "We're clean!"

Welcome from Ed Elliott, Head
The Upper is Cambridge's oldest secondary school and was founded by Dr Stephen Perse, a Fellow of Gonville & Caius College, 400 years ago. Today it is one of Britain's top co-educational day schools with over 1100 boys and girls aged 11-18. The secret of our success lies in who we are. Put bright young people together and they spark off each other, spur each other on, and form a positive peer group culture in which success is celebrated. In turn, such a concentration of talented, young minds creates a wonderfully vibrant learning environment, allowing us to recruit and retain the best teachers. These teachers combine high level academic expertise with excellent teaching skills, and a real concern for the pastoral well-being of each and every child. A happy child is a successful child, and we work hard to support all of our students.
We want Perse pupils to thrive on academic challenges, but also to relish extra curricular opportunities whether on the sports field, in the concert hall, on stage, or in expeditions.
Our students achieve some of the best I/GCSE, A level, Pre U and University entry results in the country, but we also want our students to gain the personal qualities, inter personal skills, character, hobbies and interests needed to make a success of adult life. In recent years, education has become very focused on exam results, and whilst success in public exams is vital we prefer to educate for life. We judge the quality of a Perse education, not just by our academic league table positions, but by what Perseans go on to achieve 10, 20 and 30 years after leaving school.
We are proud of our independent status, and The Perse uses its independence and freedom from direct government control to innovate in the best interests of its pupils.
As such, we have introduced new exam qualifications such as International GCSE and the Pre-U which better meet the needs of our talented pupils. We have also greatly extended our foreign language provision which now includes Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, Portuguese and Italian alongside French, German and Spanish. It is important that we prepare pupils for life in the globalised twenty first century, and we have developed a wide ranging international exchange programme linking The Perse with schools in China, India, Japan, Singapore, France, Germany, Spain, South Africa and the USA.
We aim to be true to our founder Dr. Perse, who set up The Perse as a 'free grammar' school. Whilst the modest size of our endowment does not permit us to offer universal free places, we do have an extensive bursary programme that provides financial support from 10 to 100% for families who could not otherwise afford our full fee. In keeping with our charitable aims, bursaries are awarded to pupils who pass our entrance test on a means-tested basis. This financial assistance allows The Perse to be accessible to pupils from a wide range of backgrounds, and the resulting student diversity is a real strength of the school.
For my part, I try to be accessible as possible to pupils and parents. I have lunchtime open door sessions for pupils to drop in and see me unannounced.
I am very proud of The Perse and its pupils. We combine the best of our academic grammar school heritage with an innovative outlook that strives to provide students with the skills needed for a successful life in the twenty-first century.
Please come and see for yourself the difference a Perse education makes.
