'Doctor Who' and 'Star Wars:' The Rumor Parade
Much like the latest Star Wars rumors (see below), Doctor Who continues to abound with them of what will be involved in the back eight of season seven. As the series begins work on the final episode of the season –wrapping sometime in the middle of December- there is plenty of rumors that the second half of the season will resemble the first half, with those eight episodes being just as "cinematic" as the previous six. While none of the episode titles have been "officially" confirmed, the list currently (maybe) looks like this –note I will call these working titles, because they do have a tendency to change by air date.
Christmas Episode: The Snowmen
Episode 6: The Bells of St. John
Episode 7: The Rings of Akhaten
Episode 8: currently unknown
Episode 9: Phantoms of the Hex
Episode 10: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
Episode 11: The Crimson Horror
Episode 12: The Last Cyberman
Episode 13: currently unknown
As for plots, well they're even harder to come by than episode titles. As for whom the new companion, Clara Oswin, is and how she fits into the Oswin Oswald character we saw in the season opener, is all over the place when it comes to theories. The production people keep claiming they are two different people, which seems logical, but there has to be some connection if only because show runner Steven Moffat does these things for a reason, even if the fans are unclear on exactly what that is.
By location pictures by fans, we know the Doctor is spending some time in Earth's past, the Christmas episode and the 6th seem to be spent in the 19th Century, as well –it appears- episode 9 and 11 (and mostly because that story features the third appearance of Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra, Catrin Stewart as Jenny and Dan Starky as Strax after last year's A Good Man Goes to War and the Christmas episode, The Snowmen). Rumors persist that the long thought return of the classic villains the Ice Warriors will happen in untitled episode 8. We know that the Cybermen return in episode 12, mostly because location footage has shown the upgraded look for that Neil Gaiman penned episode, and of course, the author leaving the script in a taxi only to be found and returned to him. Expectations are that Alex Kingston will be back as River Song, most likely for the season finale, as she was recently seen in Cardiff. Though, I admit, that's pure speculation as production on episode 12 and 13 overlapped each other, and Kingston has a very busy schedule outside of Doctor Who so she could be in the Cybermen story. But, I'm guessing she's in the finale.
As for the rest of 2013 and how the 50th anniversary plays out is still unknown as well. It's almost positive that David Tennant will be back as the 10th Doctor, based mostly on interviews with him, as he seems not to be able to contain himself. He knows something, essentially, and is bursting to say what it is, but knows he can't. As for the other surviving actors who played the Doctor, there seems to be less of chance anyone else will be back. While that could be subterfuge by them (Peter Davidson is inclined to return as well as Tom Baker, but Colin Baker seems convinced he'll not be back), unless money becomes an issue, I don't see why anyone the others (with the exception of Christopher Eccelston) will not be involved with the series fiftieth anniversary.
Now onto Star Wars: Episode VII, VIII and IX. After Oscar winner Michael Arndt signed on to write episode VII, the jocking for who would helm them ramped up. But what we got was a bunch of directors saying NO, a list that includes Safety Not Guaranteed helmer Colin Trevorrow, Brad Bird, Ben Affleck, Sam Mendes, J.J. Abrams, Zack Snyder, Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg.
I'm guessing, however, none of them would have actually been asked for various reasons. However, one name that does pop up is Joe Johnston. Like Kathleen Kennedy, Johnston has a long history with Star Wars, starting on the visual effects team for the first film in 1977 which he continued on through The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He's segued into directing in 1989 with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and followed with The Rocketeer (both Disney films), Jumanji, October Sky, Jurassic Park III (produced by Kennedy), and Captain America: The First Avenger. He's a capable, if not safe, director and his long association with George Lucas and Kennedy could give him the better chance of doing Episode VII. Also, Johnston has not played the deny game or said "no" to the idea when reporters asked about his potential involvement with the new trilogy.
Now onto the latest rumor: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg will be writing episodes VIII and IX, though the division of their responsibilities has yet to be determined. Kasdan is a well-respected writer, and he too has a history with Star Wars and George Lucas, adapting the screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back (and still considered the best of the first three) and Return of the Jedi. He also wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark. As for Kinberg, he wrote the scripts for the Sherlock Holmes franchise as well X-Men: First Class and its upcoming sequel, X-Men: Days of Future Past. Both writers will also serve as producers on those entries as well.
Again, Disney is saying nothing about this latest news. So take it with the grain it is offered as.

Federal Officials Cancel Deportation of Venezuelan Man in Same-Sex Marriage
The Venezuelan man is a salsa dancer.
On Wednesday, a U.S. federal official canceled the deportation of a New Jersey–based Venezuelan man married to an American man. The case has been eyed closely by immigration lawyers and gay-rights advocates: Since February, when Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Obama administration views the Defense of Marriage Act as unconstitutional and won't defend it in court, advocates have asked the administration to postpone the deportations of people in same-sex marriages until the courts decide whether the marriage act is constitutional, but the administration said it would continue to enforce the law. Consequently, lawyers and activists, who viewed the case, in part, as a test of the federal government's position on the Defense of Marriage Act, said Wednesday's decision represents a significant policy shift. "This action shows that the government has not only the power but the inclination to do the right thing when it comes to protecting vulnerable populations from deportation," the couple's lawyer said. Also, they happen to sound like a great pair:
The Venezuelan man, Henry Velandia, 27, is a salsa dancer who immigrated in 2002 and was legally married last year in Connecticut to Josh Vandiver, 30, a graduate student at Princeton University.
Even the feds wouldn't tear those two apart.

Seattle's new anti-gun Mayor Ed Murray, who joined Mayors Against Illegal Guns the other day, is posing a dilemma for his liberal base because yesterday he supported a decision that reverses the discipline of a police officer who tangled with a writer for a popular liberal alternative newspaper.
Some Seattle Times readers are already having what is best compared to "buyer's remorse" with their new mayor, who may become no more popular than the man he replaced seven weeks ago, Mike McGinn.
The dilemma here is that Murray got lots of votes from the same liberal core that supports every gun control measure that comes along. Many of these folks almost reflexively believe that only police should have guns and that no private citizens should be trusted to carry defensive firearms, concealed or openly.
But, judging from many responses from Times readers reacting to yesterday's revelation that Interim Police Chief Harry Bailey has reversed misconduct decisions against several officers, including the man involved in a verbal spat with Stranger news editor Dominic Holden, they may not be too keen on Seattle officers with guns, either.
Murray's announcement that he had joined MAIG should come as no surprise, considering his voting record while in the state senate. Gun rights activists are already talking about it on the Northwest Firearms forum. Murray's support of Bailey's decision on the disciplining of Officer John Marion obviously caught some people off-guard and struck them the wrong way.
Suddenly, Murray has become something of a toady to the SPD; what one reader asserted is a signal that "Murray is weak and his defense/support of Bailey is obscene."
Another wrote, "I think most people understood that the only difference between Murray and McGinn was facial hair (and) the ability to ride a bicycle. You vote for the same you get the same."
Over at the Seattle P-I.com, one reader calls yesterday's announcement "another cover-up, typical of SPD and Mayors office."
What this situation perhaps better typifies is the fickleness of Seattle liberals. Insisting on perpetuating a "style over substance" municipal government where voting for the most liberal "progressive" one can find, the electorate that thinks only cops should have guns is quick to turn on the police and the leaders they elect.
Meanwhile, yesterday a Florida judge turned the race card argument against the state's "stand-your-ground" (SYG) law on its ear when she dismissed charges against an African-American man who fatally shot another man last April.
Earl Moultrie Jr., 36, of Pensacola had been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Landi Benitez, 24. Benitez was in a group that confronted Moultrie in his front yard after following him there from an earlier dispute. According to the Pensacola News Journal, Benitez and his companions threatened Moultrie and Benitez advanced on him, carrying a knife.
Moultrie told police he fired a warning shot, but when Benitez kept coming, the homeowner shot him.
In what might be considered the perfect short definition of a legal concept generically referred to as "the reasonable man doctrine," Judge Linda Nobles noted in her order dismissing the charges that, "A reasonably prudent person in those same circumstances and with the same knowledge would have used the force the defendant used."
Many anti-gun civil rights activists — who seem to be active against the civil right protected by the Second Amendment — have contended that the SYG law is somehow racist. Perhaps the Moultrie case will help dispel some of that.

MEDINA TWP. — Former Ohio State University coach Jim Tressel will share leadership tips during a breakfast later this month hosted by Leadership Medina County.
Tressel, who serves as vice president of strategic engagement for the University of Akron, will be the keynote speaker at Leadership's awareness breakfast Feb. 28.
The breakfast starts 7:30 a.m. at Weymouth Grand Ballroom, 3946 Weymouth Road. The event is also an opportunity to learn more about Leadership's activities, said Lucy Sondles, the group's executive director.
"It's a great way to find out about our program, and we're recruiting members for the class of 2014," Sondles said.
Leadership Medina County is a nonprofit organization that works to develop strong, talented local leaders. The group works with adults and teens. Each year in June, 40 adult members are selected to attend classes one day a month September through May.
Classes include hands-on experience, site visits, opportunities for discussions with key leaders and class members, and insights into leadership competencies.
Leadership alumni will be on hand to share their experiences and answer questions. Sondles said the breakfast isn't solely aimed at recruiting new members.
"Even if you just want to join us and see Jim Tressel, that's great," she said.

The Denver Broncos (13-3) will beat the San Diego Chargers (10-7), 31-20, late this afternoon in AFC Divisional game 2.
From a fantasy football Point Of View (POV), the Broncos have the superior talent on offense, defense and special teams. They also have quarterback Peyton Manning.
Manning is the MVP of fantasy football. He threw for 5,547 yards and 55 touchdowns during the regular season and scored 516 fantasy points.
He has a trio of fantastic wide receivers - Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Wellker - and a top 10 tight end in Julius Thomas. Demaryius Thomas passed Calvin Johnson on the final weekend of the regular season to finish as the No. 1 wide receiver with 266 points.
Knowson Moreno provides the needed run support with 1,038 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. The Broncos defense finished at No. 17, while San Diego was No. 27 in fantasy football defense and special teams rankings.
San Diego has talent, but it is a step slow in comparison to their Denver counterparts. Charger quarterback Philip Rivers bounced back from a bad 2012 to have a solid 2013 season with 340 fantasy points, 32 touchdown passes and 4,478 passing yards.
Running back Ryan Mathews was extremely productive in December when the Chargers were battling for a playoff spot. He averaged over 130 rushing yards in each of the final four regular season games.
The primary receivers for Philip Rivers are running back Danny Woodhead, wide receiver Keenan Allen and tight end Antonio Gates. Mathews, Woodhead and Allen averaged 182 points a piece for the season.
But Sunday should come to a close with Denver victorious at home.

One day after Colorado officially legalized marijuana possession, the Daily Currant published a clearly satirical article highlighting the "37 deaths" attributable to legal marijuana in just the first 24 hours. This mock article was enjoyed by many who took the minimal amount of time necessary to know that no deaths have ever been attributed to marijuana consumption, and hence the claim of 37 deaths in 24 hours was patently ridiculous.
Sadly however, Annapolis police chief Michael Pristoop does not appear to fall into the category of people who have taken the time to learn even the basics about the cannabis plant, a fact made especially remarkable since Pristoop has clearly devoted a large portion of his life to violently and militantly opposing the plant. During his testimony opposing the decriminalization of marijuana in Maryland, Pristoop had the following to say:
"I remember the first day it was decriminalized there were 37 deaths."
It was at this point that laughter began to be heard throughout the Maryland Legislature, as the audience witnessed this self proclaimed marijuana authority citing a blatantly satirical article in an attempt to perpetuate an increasingly questionable drug war. While Pristoop did offer an apology for his incompetent research, his exact statement didn't exactly overwhelm people with reassurance, as Pristoop made sure to reiterate that he did initially believe the information to be accurate:
"I believed the information I obtained was accurate but I now know the story is nothing more than an urban legend."
While a healthy dose of mockery has been offered to Mr. Pristoop, the underlying reality of this theatrical episode is the less humorous one of a police state using drugs as an excuse for their actions, and agents of this domestic military displaying almost no knowledge whatsoever of the very substances they're expected to police.

«Earliest Previous Next Latest
Entry for October 10, 2007
Today, we had a water spout nearby and the horizon is full of towering, billowing thunderheads. Another hot day at the equator.
With the exception of our brief stay in Manila and our Filipino colleagues on board, there has been little exposure to local culture. We have been floating around on the sea and diving deep into it, but in a sense we could be in almost any country. The ocean, like the air, is an international flowing medium of the globe that does not recognize the boundaries we draw on the map. But during our visit to Bangao, it became clear to all of us from North America that this was not Kansas anymore.
We were not allowed to go ashore because of security issues in the region, so the local Philippine municipality came to us. At 2:00 p.m. about 50 locals came aboard to welcome us to the region. After a very crowded ship tour, we all gathered in the mess hall for a few speeches. First there was Chancellor Eddie Alih of the Southern Mindanao University, followed by other Filipino dignitaries, all of whom were instrumental in granting us permits to conduct this research. Then members of our team reciprocated with speeches about our research and purpose for coming. It is important for us to share a little about what we are discovering with the people whose lives so directly depend on the Celebes Sea that surrounds them. By far, the major source of protein as well as their livelihoods comes from the sea for most people in this region.
Local dancers on board the vessel, blending in with the research gear
At the conclusion of this final movement, she hopped down, and then, as if it really were the apparition that it seemed, the whole group of dancers, musicians and dignitaries packed themselves again onto small boats, headed back to shore and were gone without a trace. Before I knew it, the vessel returned to deep water and the ROV was back over the side diving to 3000 meters.
That night, I spoke to Mon Romero about the people who visited us. The original name for the people of this region is the Bangas Moro and it is one of the seven predominantly Muslim provinces of the Philippines. There are splinter groups that want to make the area a separate Islamic republic, which is why security in the region at this time is an issue. These provinces include Tawi Tawi, Lanao Del Sur, Maguindanao, Basil Au, Sulu, Sultan Kudarai and consists of about 300,000 people.

Everything You Need to Achieve a High GMAT ScoreSince 2002 Veritas Prep has trained more than 50,000 GMAT students, and our philosophy has never changed: With the right training and enough resources, anyone can reach their maximum potential on the GMAT. That's why we have assembled the most GMAT prep resources available to students anywhere, including:
More Classroom Hours to Cover Everything You NeedBecause the Veritas Prep program is longer than those of its rivals, Veritas Prep instructors are able to start at an elementary level and progress to advanced concepts without skipping anything in between. This proven approach gives Veritas Prep students the confidence and skill to attack even the most challenging problems. GMAT prep programs that attempt to cover the entire exam too quickly can only provide superficial coverage of the important topics, putting their students at a distinct disadvantage.
The hallmark of the Veritas Prep curriculum is a balance between content and strategy. The GMAT is not a math test or a grammar test; it is a reasoning test that asks questions via the language of algebra, geometry, verb tenses and logical comparisons. The comprehensive Veritas Prep syllabus allows students to learn and master content and then apply it to ever-important GMAT strategy, understanding the big picture behind GMAT questions while having all of the individual tools necessary to solve each problem.
15 GMAT Practice TestsPerforming well on the GMAT requires two things: The right approach to the test and enough practice to ensure that you have a strong grasp of that approach. As you learn the higher-order thinking skills that Veritas Prep teaches in its GMAT courses, you will be able to measure your progress on 15 computer-adaptive practice tests. With so many tests, there's no need to economize or save some practice tests until right before test day; we ensure that you have more than enough opportunity to train yourself for test day.
On the GMAT, unlike traditional exams, you cannot skip difficult problems and then revisit them later. Therefore, it is incredibly important that you not only learn how to attack every single problem as efficiently as possible but also know when you need to cut your losses, make an educated guess, and move on to the next problem.
Finishing too early can be just as harmful as not finishing, as additional time cannot be used to return to check your work. The best way to perfect this big-picture timing is to work through multiple GMAT practice tests to perfect your pacing, which is why we offer more practice tests than anyone.
Online GMAT Practice Problem SetsAs a Veritas Prep student, you won't blindly keep taking practice tests until you achieve a score that you like. Online problem sets in your student account closely link your online GMAT practice with your course books, giving you one single place to focus your attention as you put to work the lessons that you learn in class. You will work through the problem sets over the course of your 12 Veritas Prep GMAT lessons. By the time you complete your problem sets, you will be well versed in all of the higher-order thinking skills required to succeed on the GMAT.
GMAT Homework Support 7 Days a WeekHave a question about something you learned in class? Stuck on a homework problem? No need to bang your head against a wall or cruise anonymous message boards, hoping to find the answer. Simply attend Veritas Prep's Live Online Office hours and work through problems with a live instructor in a small-group setting, every day of the week. Or, if you'd prefer, send in your question by email or post it on our students-only online forum, and the same GMAT experts will get back to you right away.

Whether you miss a class or want to brush up on a specific subject area, Veritas Prep on Demand™ is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Veritas Prep GMAT methodology on your own schedule.
MBA Admissions Workshop IncludedWe don't just want to help you get a great score on the GMAT — we want you to get into your target MBA program, which is why every live Veritas Prep GMAT course includes the MBA Admissions Workshop at no additional charge. This in-depth seminar introduces the renowned Veritas Prep MBA Game Plan™ and other proven MBA application techniques in a bonus three-hour session.

You will gain personal insights on your strengths and weaknesses along the key dimensions that MBA admissions officers use to evaluate candidates. Learn which aspects of your unique profile to highlight in your applications to gain admission to the world's elite MBA programs.
No-Hassle GMAT Course Retake PolicyYou can retake your Veritas Prep GMAT course for any reason, no questions asked, for up to one year from the time you enroll. Not happy with your GMAT score? Did work keep you too busy to study enough for the test? Just don't feel ready to take the GMAT yet? Just call Veritas Prep and we'll gladly put you in another course. There are no homework or attendance requirement, and no strings attached. No GMAT prep company offers a friendlier course retake policy.

Let $f(x)=\log(x)$ (the natural logarithm). I'm asked to find a system in $f', f'', f^{(3)}, f^{(4)}$ and use induction to prove my system is correct.
Edit: After the comments I now have the system $f^{(n)}=(-1)^{n+1}\cdot (n-1)! \cdot x^{-n}$
I proved the induction start (obviously since I found a system being true in the beginning), but can't do the induction step - is the guess correct? Could you provide me with some tip to do the induction step?

Looking for a hands-on opportunity to serve and share with others this summer?
A local Fort Worth church offers such an opportunity through its Urban Encounter ministry. Founded out of Crossroads Tabernacle's own outreach to its surrounding neighbors, Urban Encounter hosts youth groups and church organizations from around the country to participate in service projects, spiritual discipleship, and worship during the week-long event. And as they say at Urban Encounter, this is a "different kind of mission trip."
Pastor Corey Jones reveals the heart and passion behind the development of Urban Encounter, explaining: "We want to be a church for people who have given up on the Church or who feel like the Church has given up on them. Thus, we began with a VBS-type ministry at an apartment complex, which turned into a bus ministry . . . and now, we facilitate Christians to impact the entire metroplex with the gospel."
Those signed up for an Urban Encounter can expect to work in a variety of avenues:
- Peanut Butter and Jelly Kid's Club
- Feeding the hungry
- Street evangelism
- Urban, multicultural services
- Work and clean-up projects
Not only does Urban Encounter work with other charitable organizations to team up to help and encourage the homeless, AIDs patients, etc., but it also will tackle specific problems, such as fixing and painting a family's home.
Pastor Jones mentions as well that getting their hands dirty is not the only happening of the week. For the 60-80 teens who participate in each Urban Encounter, they will also be guided through intentional times of prayer and worship, making the experience, what Pastor Jones call, "a God Encounter" too.
With six Urban Encounter experiences booked for the summer 2010 schedule, there is still space for other who wish to participate. For more information, visit ctgiveshope.com or call Randel Benton at 817-457-5211.

For many actors, progressing from working in front of the camera to behind it is quite natural. If they paid enough attention to the directors they worked with over the years, they should pick enough up from them to do their job and who better can understand working with actors than another actor? The latest actor to make this transition is Jason Bateman who makes his directorial debut with the new comedy, "Bad Words".
You can see the trailer to "Bad Words" by clicking the video above. The concept of the movie is pretty funny and the trailer is funny as well. A grownup (Bateman) is participating in the National Spelling against children. How can he be doing this? According to spelling bee rules, anyone who has not passed the 8th grade can compete, and Bateman's character never did.
Along the way Bateman's character meets up with a young Indian child (Rohan Chand), so it looks like the movie will have some heart to it too. Anyone want to bet the two meet up against one another in the finals? We'll find out on March 28 when "Bad Words" opens in theaters everywhere.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Researchers have found genetic differences between the anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) of female athletes who have suffered ACL injuries and their male counterparts.
Female athletes already have a two-to-eight times higher risk of suffering an ACL injury compared to male athletes. Researchers, for the first time, examined genetic differences between the ligaments of the two genders. After examining biopsies of damaged ACLs in seven male and seven female athletes, they found differences in the expression of RNA molecules in the female athletes. These differences were responsible for changes in the proteins which maintain the ligament's structure. The study authors noted the findings may just be the "tip of the iceberg" in regards to how genes affect ACL growth.

Washington, Inside a Secret Facility
*A man in a suit stands in a semi illuminated room, looking at a tank of fluid.
Inside the tank of fluid mechinery whom worked another man, or at least seemed to be.
He bore the common characteristics of a demon posed as a human, through his long hair, the points of the ears, the suttleness around his mouth where the small points of his fangs, and the claws for one's fingernails, even though they were about a half an inch long, they were still sharp. He also bore something that wasn't very common at all, although he bore wings, they weren't demonic at all, they were more bird or angelic, however the feathers where long and dark.
One of the wings had been damaged severely, including a few other places. But the one major thing was that his left wing was nearly severed in half.
It seemed that an animal or something tore it in half. The mechinery was preforming reconstructive sergery on the wounds, one of several that came before, and meny soon to come.
Five hours the demon would spend in the tank a week, allowing him to heal what had been cut durning to sergery...*
Approx 1/4 mile from the mansion
*A priest and a few disciples, stood in side a consealed area within bushes and trees.
They gave prayer to god and themselves.*
Disciple "Father, why are we here?"
Priest "Becuase there is an abomination nearby, it is our right that such abominations should not live, for such abominations are agenst god's will for them to be created. Their one true home is hell where they belong..."

The evolving usefulness of organic conducting polymers, of metallic or semiconducting type, is primarily dependent on their mechanisms of electrical conduction and degradation. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for improving the efficiency and lifetime of technologies derived from this class of polymers. There is demand for a model that provides a vivid and more precise evaluation of the electrical conduction mechanism in these polymers – especially when they act as hosts to guest species, such as acid dopant ions and nanoparticles. If, for example, the motional behavior of a host–guest organic conducting polymer structure, as related to dynamic stability, is either asynchronous or synchronous, is this reflected in the mechanism of electrical conduction and does it account for the pace of material's degradation? Here, we demonstrate that the answer is affirmative: asynchronous structural motions arising due to loosely bound or free guest species within the host polymer lead to anomalous electrical conduction mechanisms, increased fragility and short lifetime, at odds with the synchronous behavior.

You've worked hard for the money -- the equity in
your house, that is, and now that you've decided to sell you're
reluctant to give a traditional real estate broker a whopping 6
percent commission for bringing you a buyer.
The good news is you don't have to. You have options,
and one of them is to sign on with a discount broker, a licensed
Realtor who is willing to shave off 1, 2 or more percentage points.
In recent years, a bevy of discounters has sprung
up across America. They have shaken up the real estate industry
by offering real estate brokerage services for less than the traditional
6 percent of the selling price.
In many cases they also provide somewhat less than
the traditional amount of service.
But generally, they are members of the National Association
of Realtors and are bound to the ethical standards of that group
-- and hey, who needs all that service anyway? While many sellers
do need the service -- as evidenced by the high percentage of them
who continue to retain full service brokers to handle their deals
-- others feel they can get by with less involvement by the agent,
especially if offered at a lower price.
Some discount brokers offer a menu of services and
tailor their fee according to the menu items chosen. Others say
they offer full services and simply are discounting the price.
which operates in 16 markets nationwide, will list your home on
the Multiple Listing Service, or MLS, show your property to prospective
buyers, and help you get the deal to closing.
"We offer home buyers and sellers all of the
services of a traditional brokerage," says Richard Roberts,
ZipRealty's vice president for marketing. "We charge significantly
less to represent the seller while still offering market-rate commissions
to the buyer's agent."
Founded in 1999, the California-based company charges
either 1 percent below the traditional commission or a minimum listing
fee of $2,000. That's in addition to an agreed-upon fee which is
paid to any cooperating broker who brings a buyer.
With the minimum listing fee, and assuming a 3-percent
commission to a cooperating broker, it would cost the seller of
a $200,000 home $8,000 to sell through ZipRealty. Had the seller
gone with a full 6-percent brokerage, the commission paid would
have been $12,000.
is another nationally recognized discount broker. The Reno, Nev.-based
firm offers clients in 45 states a choice of three marketing programs:
Real Estate, is a nationwide chain of franchise offices that
charge flat fees based on the level of service the seller chooses.
For example, for a flat fee of $2,950, agents will
advertise a home for sale weekly and on their own Web site, supply
yard signs, consult on the offering price, negotiate with potential
buyers and guide the sale through closing. This plan does not include
listing on the MLS.
They'll handle all negotiations, paperwork, contracts,
any counterproposals and manage your transaction through the closing
and even attend the closing. For an additional fee of $2,950, agents
also will show the home.
Direct provides full services for a flat 3.99 percent in nine
states -- California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Connecticut, Massachusetts -- and the District of
Columbia. Services include listing the home on the MLS, on Realtor.com
as well as on the Realty Direct site. Realty Direct will also hold
open houses, show your home to prospective buyers, advertise in
local and regional newspapers, negotiate the contract and manage
the post-contract process.

BOSTON -- The challenges of hosting a group of BIDMC patients with ALS and related disorders at a Red Sox game on July 4 were many, but the rewards outweighed the tasks a million to one.
"The day at Fenway was magical," says Lissa Robins Kapust, program manager in the Cognitive Neurology Unit. "We filled a Red Sox Executive Box with 25 smiling patients, family members and BIDMC/ALS staff. The day went flawlessly - even sunny skies. The Sox loss was unfortunate, but put no damper on a fabulous day."
In addition to watching the game and enjoying a full spread of food provided by the Red Sox, several of the patients made it down to the field as retired Sox pitcher Curt Shilling read the Lou Gehrig "luckiest man alive" speech. It was the 70
th anniversary of the day Gehrig announced publicly that he was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) while still in the prime of his baseball career. Similar events took place in Major League Baseball venues across the country to raise awareness of ALS and research to combat this disease. Players wore "4 ALS" patches on their uniforms.
ALS is a progressive nervous system disorder that gradually destroys the nerves responsible for muscle movement. The cause of ALS is unknown and there is currently no cure although medications, therapy and support are available. Walking, balance and swallowing are all challenges for patients, but the BIDMC and Red Sox staffs worked together to ensure accommodations and food selections were just right.
Eileen Garry, daughter of patient Claire Garry reported that, "My mother had a wonderful time and enjoyed not only the game and the generous feast, but also the ability to network with others being treated at BIDMC for ALS. This was an awesome day, one which will lead to more awareness, research and ultimately an end to this horrid disease." An additional treat, Claire Garry's grandsons were able to attend the game with her.
One attendee was given a bat signed by Sox Shortstop Julio Lugo, which the patient clung to throughout the game, sitting in a wheelchair and grinning from ear to ear. Sox management, the two World Series Trophies and Wally the Green Monster all visited and posed with patients and guests. Also in attendance was Walter Bentson, BIDMC overseer and a patient with a neurologic disease similar to ALS. A tireless advocate and fund-raiser for ALS research, Bentson is also a top amateur baseball umpire who is involved in leading Boston's renowned Park League, the oldest amateur baseball league in the United States.

Loris Sofia Gregory, Healthy Kitchen Coach, Apple Valley, MN
Valley Natural Foods, 13750 County Road 11, Burnsville, MN 55337
"A chickpea leaps almost over the rim of the pot where it is being boiled. 'Why are you doing this to me?' The cook knocks him down with the ladle. 'Don't try to jump out. You think I am torturing you. I'm giving you flavor, so you can mix with spices and rice and be the lovely vitality of a human being. Remember when you drank rain in the garden? That was for this.'" And so goes "Chickpea to Cook" by renowned Sufi poet Rumi writing in the 13th century. What a lovely vision of soft garden rain bringing us vitality. And considering their nutritional punch, there simply is nothing in our co-op that is healthier for you and your pocketbook than the legumes—the dried peas, beans and lentils found on our bulk trail.
Only fresh dark leafy greens compare with legumes for nutrient-dense, calorie-sparse economical eating. Not only a great source of low or no-fat plant protein and fiber, legumes are outstanding champions of the low glycemic foods that offer a slow, steady source of energy. They are loaded with nutrients that our bodies crave and need, including B vitamins necessary for a healthy brain, skin, nervous and digestive systems; calcium for strong bones and teeth and to keep the body more alkaline than acidic; and potassium, reducing the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Along with the leafy dark greens, legumes are a stellar source of folate, the B vitamin that our bodies wisely utilize in protection against heart disease and cancer.
Humans did not start eating beans, peas and lentils after first reading about their nutritional goodness. Legumes have been a tasty meal staple across millenia, grown by wise gardeners worldwide. Visualize cowboys and cattle drivers keeping strong with pots of beans around the camp fire. Native Americans have grown and enjoyed a diversity of beans for generations, as East Indian families have survived on split peas and lentils. Vendors were selling hot pea soup in the streets of Athens as far back as 2500 years ago. Sick of city life, the Roman poet Horace longed for a rustic dish of chickpeas and pasta
Located conveniently closer in Welcome, Minnesota, Doug and Lin Hilgendorf of Whole Grain Milling Company grow and process the green split peas, red kidney beans and black turtle beans found on our bulk trail. About 140 miles southwest in Martin County and certified organic since 1989, the Hilgendorf's commitment to high-quality, earth-friendly foods has helped them flourish for over 20 years. North Bay Trading Company, a small family-owned business in Brule, Wisconsin, brings healthy convenient "32 Bean & 8 Vegetable Soup Mix" to our bulk trail. Exercise your family brain cells by trying to name 32 beans over dinner hour!
Legumes make terrific soups, stews, chili, main dishes and salads. Cooking time can be shortened by soaking overnight first. Either way, fill a pot of water two inches above the dried legumes, cover and simmer until cooked (30 minutes to two hours depending on size and hardness), checking occasionally to add water as needed. Season during or after cooking, but add salt last. Beans love a touch of acid from tomatoes or vinegar, as well as Mediterranean and south-of-the-border spices. It's impossible to tell you all delicious ways that legumes can be your next best friends. Here are a few ideas that will have your taste buds begging for more. (You can always substitute canned legumes if you are short on time and longer on cash. Support BPA-free companies such as Eden Organic.)
- Cook or drain chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), throw them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and nutritional yeast (also found on the bulk trail), and enjoy their mild nutty flavor warm or cold. Did you know that "hummus" is Arabic for chickpea?
- Toss warm cannellini (white kidney beans) with sautéed garlic and fresh rosemary. Toss cooked yellow or green lentils with diced and sautéed celery, onions and carrots. Combine red lentils with olive oil, red onion and balsamic vinegar.
- Simmer green split peas in water or vegetable stock with sautéed onion and garlic until soft. Puree, swirl in a little Greek yogurt and top with fresh mint. Enjoy warm or chilled.
- The deliciously creamy texture of cooked pinto beans makes them idea of mashing and refrying or using in bean dips. Pinto beans play well with chiles, cilantro and lime.

The Washington State University football team continued preseason camp with a two-hour practice in helmets and shorts Saturday afternoon.
The Cougars again worked through their similar practice format of individual drills before working through some 1-vs.-1 battles with the offensive and defensive lineman on one field while the wide receivers and defensive backs squared off on the main field. The was a little more feistiness on the second day of camp as a couple players from both sides of the ball got tangled up after the whistle once or twice throughout the day.
Both sides of the ball turned in a some nice plays in the 7-vs.-7 session as senior cornerback Damante Horton forced a turnover by ripping the ball away from sophomore wide receiver Gabe Marks after he came down with a catch. A few plays later, Marks answered by leaping high to pull down a pass in traffic, bringing some yells from his offensive teammates. Towards the end of the segment, senior linebacker Eric Oertel stepped in front of a receiver and picked off a pass and returned it for a would-be pick-6.
Saturday's special teams segment focused on punt coverage for the second straight day, this time punters Mike Bowlin and Wes Concepcion punted to a group of returners after yesterday saw the balls launched from a machine.
Following the special teams session, the Cougars worked through a team segment. Redshirt-junior quarterback Connor Halliday led the offense on the first drive, making a nice scramble and first down completion to newcomer senior wide receiver Vince Mayle midway through the series. The defense buckled down in the red zone against the offense and kept them out of the endzone in the final couple plays.
Redshirt-freshman Austin Apodaca quarterbacked the second offensive series and he opened the drive with a pair of completions to Marks and sophomore wideout Brett Bartolone. Towards the end of the drive, the defense again came up big as redshirt-junior defensive lineman Toni Pole burst through the line and registered a "sack." That play was allowed to continue despite the sack and Apodaca's pass was picked off by redshirt-sophomore linebacker Tana Pritchard, bringing a huge celebration from the defense. The day's final play saw redshirt-junior wide receiver Rickey Galvin leap to catch an Apodaca pass in the corner of the end zone with a defender pushing him out of bounds as he came back down.
WSU continues fall practice Sunday at 3 p.m. where the Cougars are expected to practice in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts for the first time this season.

Easy Woodworking Projects for Kids
There are literally millions of woodworking projects for kids. Some home improvement stores even offer free workshops where kids can go build something. The workshops include a pattern and all the materials needed to build a project and supervision by experienced adults to complete the project as well as the safety equipment such as goggles that kids need to wear.
Options for woodworking projects for kids include a planter, bookshelves, book ends, coat trees, coat wall racks, key racks, simple bird feeders and bird houses. A very simple project for the very young beginner is a wooden cutting board for use in the kitchen. A child's toolbox is another simple project. Puzzles are great as well, as long as mom or dad is supervising the cutting since it requires some curves and such.
A trash can can also be made out of wood by kids. Other ideas include a step stool, adjustable stilts, a bench, or a spice rack. All of these project patterns can be found for free, many online. But also check out the free patterns section at your local home improvement store. Many provide free patterns to the public.
Another very simple project is a picture frame. This can be made by children of nearly any age. If they can put two pieces of wood together with glue, they can make a picture frame. Picture frames can be made from scrap wood or Popsicle sticks or any number of odds and ends. The frame can then be used for any photo that the child chooses and given as a gift or just hung on the wall for them to enjoy.

I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit at the minute, I now have an MSDN subscription which allows me to use Windows 7 Ultimate.
Should I just download Windows 7 Ultimate, burn it to a disc, boot from the disc and select upgrade, do a clean install or is there some option within Windows for this. Really all I am doing is adding bitlocker so you would think there is some option within Windows.
I am competent with installing and configuring Windows, so this isn't a skill issue, I am just looking for the path of least resistance.

Woah! littleBits just launched a Space Kit, in collaboration with NASA.
littleBits is the LEGO of electronics. It's a library of electronic modules that snap together with magnets for prototyping, learning, and fun.
I am a fan.
This LEGO Easter bunny gets my two thumbs up.
This breakfast mold sure would put a giant smile on my kids faces!
This must be the most wonderfully zen and magical video on YouTube. Thanks to my studiomate Albert Lee for pointing me to it.
There are no toys allowed at the breakfast table in our house. This might change with the Build-On Brick Mug. Get your LEGO on!
A Luckey Climber is a three dimensional sculpture designed for children to climb on.
Made of bent plywood platforms that are suspended by steel pipes and cables, climbers are visually elegant works of art that are also part jungle gym and once alive with children they become what Thomas Luckey called "fountains of children."
Absolutely love this.
(Also, made me think of this episode…)
A few weeks before my son turned four, he expressed the wish of having a magician at his party. We had Looney Louie the year before, so I felt challenged to find a new magician. So, down I went a Google rabbit hole. Let me tell you, there are *a lot* of frightening magician websites out there. (someone's gotta tell them about Squarespace) And then, I stumbled on Mario.
My son's magician dreams came true when Mario showed up at our house on February 14th. He was fantastic, a magician at heart. Magic is his labor of love and it shines through in his performance.
I've learned that in addition to the hundreds of private performances he does every year, he is involved in a publication of a children's magic card tricks book for Barnes & Noble and is performing for Lincoln Center. I am not surprised by his Magician success.
In 2012, filmmaker Kal created a short film about Mario, entitled Building Magic. In August of 2013, a successful Kickstarter campaign secured funding to extend Building Magic into a feature length film. Filming is currently underway, and the film is expected to be complete and ready for the film festival circuit in 2014. Here's the trailer:
If you're ever thinking of hiring a magician in NYC, consider Mario. Tilo and Ella couldn't stop talking about his performance. And look at me, I am writing about it. He's truly magic.
I shared an Instagram of Ella (7) knitting a few days ago and one of my followers left a comment saying I should look into arm knitting. A quick Google search let me to the above YouTube video. Looks fascinating, no? Also, lots of arm knitting stuff to find on Etsy.
I love the internet so much!
The cool mom of the day award most certainly goes to Angie, mother of 4 year old Mayhem. Together they create elaborate dresses out of paper.

Sugru introduced their first ever sugru kit: It comes in a small tin. Inside you'll find three packs of sugru (2 for your magnet projects and 1 spare). Below them, nestled in some cleverly cut cardboard, are four fantastic bespoke neodymium magnets. Also included is a great little booklet full of tips and tricks! Those Sugru folks, brilliant, as always! Check out their magnet-kit page for ideas on how to use it.
How incredibly retro cool is this VW Campervan Children's Play Tent? The best part; it pops up and packs down into a spare wheel carry case.
The F Bunk Bed by Rafa Kids is the most stylish kids bunk bed I have seen to date. Lets consider it wishlisted for Tilo's room.
Made from recycled paper, rainbow pencils let you create beautiful paper rainbows when you sharpen them. Congrats to the designer Duncan Shotton.
Yoni Lefevre has created "Grey Power," a project that recreates kids' drawings of their grandparents in colorful, sometimes surreal photos. Love this so much.
We have these IKEA kids stools at home and I love them. I just discovered these Fairy Ring Cushion pillows that are made for them. Adorable.
My friend Jennifer Ward just showed me what she and her team at Casa Kids have been working on over the last few months: The super impressive LoLo Bunk Bed.
It's a compact bunk bed, ideal for smaller spaces or lower ceilings. What makes LoLo really cool is that the beds are detachable creating two almost identical twin beds. Once converted into twin beds, each bed can have a trundle bed or three drawers underneath. This is fantastic for families with two kids where they start out sharing a bedroom and eventually move to a bigger space and each kid wants their own bed.
Well done, Casa Kids!
I just got a personal hand-delivery of one of the first OTO Cardboard Ice Cream Trucks by no other than the inventor, Måns Swanberg, himself. (I wrote about the Kickstarter back in March.) If you're a parent of a little one, you might want to bookmark this one. You can even create a custom plate in your kids name. Totally adorable. My kids will be giddy when they get this for the holidays. A total winner!
UPDATE: Måns just emailed me with a discount code! Use SWISSMISS at checkout and get 10% off.
Team Tattly took it for a spin, 5 minutes after arriving at Tattly HQs. of course. And, I took over a shift as well.
I just got my hands on the new Yellow Owl's Little Prints book. Christine Schmidt, author of the bestselling Print Workshop and the creative force behind the acclaimed Yellow Owl Workshop line of artisan stationery and home accessories, shares her inspired ideas for making easy, yet entirely unique items for kids. It's full of beautifully illustrated tutorials on using stamps, stenciling, and other hand-printing techniques. Ella (7) will be so excited when she sees this tonight! I see some extra crafty weekends in my future.
Who says you need to carve a pumpkin? These chalkboard painted ones are supercool. Clearly, I didn't see this DIY Tutorial in time. We went the old-school route this weekend at casa swissmiss.

Birthday. Play. Namaste.
Grace's mommy is a yogi… a bendy, stretchy, sweaty lady that just loves yoga! Grace practices right alongside Mommy, and for that reason, we decided you're never TWO young for yoga and threw Grace a yoga-themed second birthday! Invitations by i do care designs were printed, rolled in a mini yoga mat, tied up with twine, and placed into boxes with crinkle string and burlap flowers. Also included were pillow boxes requesting donations for Operation Smile, a world-wide organization to provide free cleft lip and palate repairs around the World, in lieu of a gift for Grace! Grace's cousin, Charlotte, was born with a cleft lip and palate and we all enjoy partying with a purpose… celebrating the Million Dollar $mile way!!
Everyone say, "Yuuuuuummmm!" Birthday sweets and treats would certainly hinder a healthy, nutritious diet & lifestyle unless you were invited to Grace's yoga treat table. It was earthy… it was sparkly… it was totally yoga glam!! Thank you Purple Pug for the NAMASTE GRACE banner! A fresh, fruit cake (and not the holiday kind), fresh fruit kabobs made with love by Grandma, and yogurt and granola push pops were all healthy treats for the young yogis! We also asked all our favorite bakers and treat-makers to be creative and conscience while baking. Casey's Confections used healthy substitutions in her famous sugar cookie recipe to make them a little more guilt-free, yet just as adorable as always. Essence Bakery provided the most flavorful and colorful macarons without any gluten! Mind of Batter created cake pops in the likeness of succulents that were placed in mini terra cotta pots. Carrot cake cupcakes by Sweet Daddy's were topped with perfection in fondant form. Mimicafe Union breathed life and loveliness into the images from i do care designs creating lotus-topped rolled yoga mats and little yoga divas deep in thought and meditation (I actually think they are dreaming about the macarons and tiny fondant ladybugs that Mimi created too)! A juice bar, featuring NAKED juice chillers and smoothies, were offered in both toddler safe milk jugs or in mason jars with striped-straws and flower-punched tops… all from Petite Party Studio!
Everyone say, "Ummmmmmm!" After everyone's tummies were full with healthy treats, Tonia led the kiddos in a little ABC's of yoga session. Colored bracelets and anklets, as well as felt flowers, were given to each child to help them better find their body positions and practice the poses. For example, "Reach your orange arm way up to the sun and stand like a flamingo on your blue foot." It was quite phenomenal seeing the strength, focus, and flexibility of some of the party-goers! Yay for yoga!
After the session, partygoers were given tools to help them practice at home. Each young yogi received a box of yoga practice cards labeled 'practice', a water bottle labeled 'hydrate', and a bag of granola labeled 'nourish'!
Namaste to you… Namaste to you… Namaste Birthday girl, Grace… Namaste to You!!!

Back to School Can be Tough for Students with Mental Health Challenges Rogers InHealth unveils new social media resources to help
OCONOMOWOC, Wis. – For students facing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and bi-polar, the stresses and challenges of a new school year can be magnified if they find themselves in school environments, working with teachers, or interacting with friends and family members that are not supportive.
According to Sue McKenzie, co-director Rogers InHealth, a department of Rogers Behavioral System which has treatment facilities in Oconomowoc, Milwaukee, Madison, Kenosha and Brown Deer, "Approximately 20 percent of all children would benefit from mental health services, yet only 1/5 (or 20 percent) of them receive help. For those who don't, the untreated mental disorders are likely to persist, become more severe, difficult to treat, and as a result, approximately 50 percent of students age 14 and older who are living with a mental illness drop out of high school. This is the highest dropout rate of any disability group. These statistics are particularly troubling when we know that children who receive effective services go on to find success at school, with family and friendships, and that carries into their future."
Rogers InHealth has recognized the need to decrease the stigma of and increase the support for students and families dealing with mental health challenges, so they can effectively move from illness to recovery. The organization has created a series of brief videos that highlight stories of recovery and strategies that youth, parents and educators have found to work in the face of mental health challenges. The video clips were created to empower families and teachers as they support children with mental health challenges.
The schools tab of the Rogers InHealth website, http://www.rogersinhealth.org/schools, directs the visitor to specific social media based video content. The brief videos share personal stories of students in recovery, as well as effective support practices of parents and teachers. The site also has "reality videos" of strategies used in classrooms in MPS where teachers support children in their learning every day.
McKenzie says, "While navigating school and health systems to get support for children's mental health challenges can be tough, everyone involved needs to realize that hopeful outcomes are a reality when parents, schools, therapists and the child work together. These personal stories constantly reinforce this message. The relationship is number one! Second is the team that works together to learn how to best support the child's resiliency."
The premise of the social media site is founded upon the evidence-based work of international stigma researcher, Patrick Corrigan, Illinois Institute of Technology. His research revealed personal contact with a person living in recovery with mental illness is the most effective means to diminishing stigma, demonstrating that it is contact, more than knowledge that increases positive attitudes and supportive behaviors.
McKenzie adds the collaboration stories on the site help to reinforce why talking to your child's school or connecting with your child's therapist is a good idea. One story on the website, (http://rogersinhealth.org/resources/marisa), highlights Marisa, who began cutting herself in high school. She knew something was wrong but was afraid to speak to her parents. Attending school was difficult because of her overwhelming feelings. She finally confided in a coach that she didn't want to die but didn't want to live her whole life like she currently was. With help from therapist, medication, school accommodations, parental support, she found recovery. Now an adult, Marisa is a kindergarten teacher and applies the wisdom from her own experience to connect with children and help parents consider how to best support their children.
Suzette Urbashich, co-director with McKenzie, adds, "We have to all work together to eliminate the stigma that discourages individuals and families challenged by mental illness from seeking treatment and support for recovery. This site has the potential to help many if they utilize it. Stigma impacts productivity in schools, the workforce, and community health. Without treatment, consequences of mental illness for individuals and society are staggering: unnecessary disability, diminished educational attainment, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, and suicide. The economic cost of untreated mental illness in the US is more than 100 billion dollars annually."

Commissioning will take place during the transfer phase of the mission, when the spacecraft is flying towards its destination: the second Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system (L2). This early commissioning phase deals with the Service Module and with all Payload Module functions that can be checked-out during the transfer phase.
Mission Operations
For this purpose, during the transfer phase the nominal attitude with respect to the Sun is the same as the operational one. The final commissioning of the Payload Module occurs after orbit insertion around L2, consisting of final calibration of the instrument and demonstration of instrument performance.
Ground Segment
Ground stations contacts with a daily duration of eight hours are achieved using the Cebreros 35m X-band antenna. Also the ground station in Perth (Australia)
Time Correlation
In addition to the classical corrected one-way path technique, it is proposed that on-board-to-UTC time correlation be performed by a specific two way process. This technique allows to cancel symmetrical delays of ionospheric or tropospheric origin, or delays of relativistic origin. This correlation performance is furthermore independent of the orbit.
