I have a 10 year old daughter (a twin) who only seems to be happy when either completely embarrassing me in public, hitting me or her sister, talking back to me and just going totally against everything i say. I am at a complete loss to handling her anymore. I try to stay calm until I just can't take it anymore then I explode! But I know she has such a sweet side to her and I can't figure out how to get more of that side to surface. I need help!

Well it sounds like she is very high spirited. but if you have concern for her behavior than maybe having her talk to a counselor may help her figure out healthier ways to act. does she have her own thing to do that maybe her sibling does not so. like a sport or something. sounds like she has a lot of energy to burn. also just laying the ground rules out and being firm and consistent with the consequences will help. but if you have tried all that and still do nto feel like you are getting anywhere then I would seek therapy, good luck,

Ok first of all I thought I was the only one with a ten year old that acted that way. My daughter was diagnosed at the age of 4 with ADHD and even on meds she still was not acting like a helathy happy normal child. So I recently had her reevaluated and she now has been diagnosed with ODD/ADHD plus other mood disorders. If I were you I would have your daughter evaluated just to see what the problem could be. I don't like having my child on meds but when she has a good day the meds are what help her have that good day. I have more good days than bad now that I know what she has and has the meds to help. I discipline her in unconventional ways, which some people say I pacify her or I am not hard enough on her, but when conventional ways of discipline doesn't work I try to find something that does. When My daughter would embarrass me in public, I refuse to take her with me anymore. She stays with a friend of mine. I use to do the same thing with trying to stay calm and then exploded, which that didn't help me in the long run. So my advise is to just have her checked out and tested. Once you know for sure what the problem is then you will be relieved and then you will be able to work on ways to helping her.

My 11 yr old has been diagnosed with ADHD/ODD since she was 5 yrs old. I first took her to a therapist (no meds) when she was 4 just so they could talk with her and find out what was going on. She was getting into trouble at school, talking out of turn, humming, running around the classroom, shouting out for no reason at all, just being totally disruptive. We had all the talks with her at home, and asked the important questions..."Is someone bothering you at school?", "making fun of you?", "is anyone touching you where they shouldn't?". The answer is always no. My daughter has a very strong will and personality, she would come to me if anyone were bothering her. I just don't get the mechanics of why this defiant disorder. What triggers it? She has been on Ritalin, Straterra, Focalin, and now Vyvanse for ADHD. She was on each for at least a year and none of them worked passed 2 months. She is still on the Vyvanse for ADHD, but the doctor has added Abilify and Clonidine, and I don't understand...she is building up a resistance to these meds and even with the therapy she is getting worse. She tortures her younger sisters without ceasing. I am seriously ready to commit her. But the thing that always stops me is that she knows when I have reached the end, and then for about a day, she will be as sweet as ever. But then it starts all over again. She is home now because she has been suspended from school (last week as well for a different issue). I cannot take it anymore, I am not in the best of health to continue to deal with this. Her father has talked and talked and lectured her on her behavior, but to no avail. She lies, she steals, and she manipulates just to get what she wants.

Wow...i really thought that I was dealing with something that no one else deals with...all of these comments are exactly what I am dealing with from meds to the embarassment to the " I can't take anymore". So where is the advice? Has no one figured out how to deal with this?

I don't have a 10 year old and I don't have your daughter or even your situation so I won't have the answers to fix or maybe even help you in your situation. I have a 6 year old with ADHD, ODD borderline CD and PDD-NOS along with an almost 8 year old with Autism, not to mention my own issues.
What we have decided in our family is that there are some rules that are not negotiable. Hitting, swearing, stealing, lying, etc. We started the 1-2-3 Magic and it works for us when we are consistent with it, although I think giving a 3 count just gives our child 2 times to disobey us. We TRY to stay calm as best as we can. I took everything out of her room so that she can have some time to relax or trash it or freak out by herself. I tell her that when she is ready to listen, then we will deal with the situation.
As a very last resort I will spank her. Open handed on her bum. I have to be as calm as possible before I even go into the room though. I also explain to her that I am the parent and she is the child. It is my job to love her and discipline her to help her learn the right way to do things. Spanking her does not lessen how much I love her and neither do her actions. She understands this. As your daughter is getting older and I don't know what the laws are for your state or your parenting style, I would leave that to you.
Some things are just under the category of how important is it though.
Are you getting out for some mom time? How is your relationship with your husband/partner? Are you two able to get some time together? alone? Are you able to have some 1:1 time with each of your kids? How many activities are they in? Does the child(ren) without "issues" have a support group? Are you able or willing to take a course on restraining? Is there a local church group you are able to connect with?
I hope some of this is a little helpful. I am sorry if it is not. We all need as much help as we can get.
All the best.

"Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice" is a spin-off of the magical girl series, "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". Kazumi is an amnesiac young girl who wakes up in a suitcase. She's attacked by a giant praying mantis, but she turns into a Puella Magi. She meets up with the Pleiades Saints and their Incubator, Jyuubey, who can clean the impurities from their soul gems. But they're hiding a terrible secret from Kazumi about her origins. Will she find out?
This is one of the best spin-offs of the "Puella Magi" franchise that shows a touching lesson that artificial beings deserve to exist without dwelling in misanthropy. It's admirable that Kazumi doesn't succumb to hatred and revenge after everything that happens to her. Although having Pleiades member Kaoru defending her helps out a lot in the story. Honolulu "Puella Magi" fans should buy this great spin-off as soon as they can.

$300 for Julia Gillard's NDIS scheme? Please, my wheelchair costs $22,000
- From: news.com.au
- April 30, 2013
JULIA Gillard is considering increasing the Medicare levy to help pay for the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Disability advocate Stella Young explains why we should stump up $300.
The question of how we fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme is one one that I've managed to avoid for the past year. It's an insulting question for me and the many other Australians with disabilities.
It's hard to think about dollars when it may mean how many showers we get to have per week, or whether we can get mobility aid that will let us to leave our houses.
But with the Budget just two weeks away, we need to address the question. We must fund this scheme somehow.
Typically, every man and his guide dog has an opinion, including news.com.au's Matt Young and Claire Porter. "How selfish of me to want to spend money that I'm working hard for on myself! To put clothes on my back, food in my mouth and a few luxuries like a morning coffee," Matt exclaims.
Do you know what I spent the money I worked hard in 2012 on, Matt?
The clothes on my back, the food in my mouth and the odd morning coffee as well. But I also spent a fair whack of my annual salary replacing my 17-year-old wheelchair.
I live in Victoria where the current maximum funding for a wheelchair is $8,000. My chair cost $22,000, so $14,000 of that came out of my pocket.
No doubt many Australians assume people who need wheelchairs can just have them. Not true.
OPINION: Why should I pay $300 to help the disabled? Matt Young and Claire Porter
The amount and type of funding you receive to have your needs met depends on where and how you acquired your impairment. There's a dark joke among many of us who were born with our impairments: "If only my parents could have made it look like a car accident".
I'm actually incredibly fortunate for someone in my position. With half of all people with disabilities in Australia living near or below the poverty line, I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to be able to save up for my own wheelchair in the first place, let alone sip my morning latte.
I know what you're thinking. This isn't about you, it's about people like me. You're wrong. Disability currently affects one in every five Australians. 95 per cent of Australians will enter the disability community, either temporarily or permanently, at some point in their lives.
Last year I forked out for my chair so that I can continue to work and live. I did it so that I can pay taxes. So that means if there's a levy for the disability scheme, I will have the honour of paying for it too.
We should all be thrilled to see it. If you have a stroke at 40, you won't become one of the 7,000 young people living in nursing homes in Australia.
If your partner is injured in a car accident, their rehabilitation and mobility aids won't send you bankrupt.
You won't have to give up work to look after them. You'll know that if you have children and one of them is born with an impairment of some kind, that child will be entitled to a life of dignity, rather than one reliant on charity and the goodwill of others.
I'm happy to pay $300 a year to ensure that whatever your life circumstances turn out to be, you can continue to buy your morning coffees instead of your own wheelchair.
Disability advocates in Australia have fought for a National Disability Insurance Scheme not just for our own futures, but for yours too. You're welcome.

"95 per cent of Australians will enter the disability community, either temporarily or permanently, at some point in their lives." Where does this bit of information come from. No reference, no back up, and you hide behind your disability in the hopes that you can evade criticism- who would dare pick on the disabled? Pathetic.
Brett of Adelaide Posted at 5:52 PM April 30, 2013
Many of the disabled can work with their disability. Many employers are willing to compromise and make concessions but the DSP is high enough when combined with discount housing to medicine and transport, to live a relatively comfortable life. I have a disability - Bipolar, but I still work. I take more days off than most but I still earn my own money and pay tax. If 1 in 5 is disabled, and x amount is too young to work, studying or too old to work. Who is left to tax to pay for it all. It is not sustainable. It will eventually fall down. Then the Gov will have to make decisions what to cut.. medicare ? Education ? Hospitals or even infrastructure ? Money doesn't grow on trees. You need to get out and earn it !
Ashley of Darwin Posted at 5:51 PM April 30, 2013
$22,000 for a wheelchair? Really? a basic wheelchair? A brand new car can be bought for less... If you want all the bells and whistles you can stump the cost of it yourself. The government should only assist you getting the minimum you require to be mobile.

Judge orders COPP to turn over stolen ATP materials, slams State for improper conduct
Judge orders COPP to turn over stolen ATP materials, slams State for improper conduct
>> Court order rebukes COPP for improperly holding stolen evidence from a criminal investigation, using it to smear candidates before an election
>> Ferguson warns Bullock: 'This is how Nixon got impeached.'
LIVINGSTON, MONT. — A Montana judge ordered the state's Commission on Political Practices James Murry Monday to turn over materials that were stolen from a political consultant's car and trafficked across state lines to Democrat state appointees for use in an election-eve attack on Republican candidates.
Judge Nels Swandal of Montana's Sixth Judicial District ruled that Commissioner Murry has demonstrated a willingness to disclose private documents to the public, and an inability or unwillingness to keep the such documents secure.
Murry has until Friday to turn over to Swandal all materials or face contempt charges. The suit was filed by Christian LeFer, consultant to American Tradition Partnership, and Allison LeFer, owner of an unrelated printing and candidate mail business.
ATP is not a party to the suit and has no interest in Allison LeFer's business or clients, but ATP's stolen private financial records are among the documents that must be turned over.
In March 2010 ATP asked LeFer to transport the group's documents to Colorado to be scanned and archived. They were stolen from LeFer's car, along with other unrelated documents belonging to her own business.
The materials were later found by a convicted meth dealer, who amazingly had the presence of mind to contact the husband of a Democrat Colorado State Senator. Amazingly, though the car which was recovered stripped of its valuables and contents, the documents were the only materials that have turned up.
Rather than contact law enforcement, Schwartz contacted political allies in Montana and worked with the meth dealer to traffic the stolen materials across state lines to the COPP in March 2011.
Upon learning nearly two years later Montana officials conspired with a meth dealer to traffic ATP's stolen private financial information across state lines, ATP immediately contacted the FBI.
Swandal ruled the documents "appear clearly to consist of stolen property, and are evidence regarding the criminal investigation of the car theft in Colorado."
"This is going to end very badly for Steve Bullock, Jim Murry and Colorado State Senator Gail Schwartz," said Ferguson. "ATP has contacted the FBI. This is now Nixon got impeached along with 48 government cronies convicted of crimes. People don't like it when corrupt politicians interfere with criminal investigations and conspire with criminals to evade law enforcement."
"We didn't know they had our stolen bank records for nearly two years. I'm no legal expert but intentionally hiding stolen property that is evidence in a criminal investigation reeks of a felony," said Ferguson.
Swandal ruled Montana officials used the stolen materials to attack certain candidates in an apparent effort to influence an election. "(I)t is undisputed that Commissioner Murry gave national news media access to the Colorado Documents which they used in October, 2012, in an apparent effort to embarrass certain candidates on the eve of the 2012 election," wrote Swandal.
The Political Practices Commissioner's legally-mandated job is to enforce campaign finance laws in an impartial manner, not to attack those who disagree with the governor who installed him. As a taxpayer-funded non-profit corporation PBS (the media outlet that aired the report) is prohibited from assisting the campaigns of political candidates.
"The fact COPP looked at all the materials, found absolutely NO wrongdoing to act on and instead of returning them, secretly held them for nearly two years so they could coordinate an election-eve attack makes the State look unbelievably corrupt," said Ferguson.
"Commissioner Murry has refused to return the Colorado Documents to their owners and has not stated a legal basis for his refusal," Swandal writes.
"Furthermore, it appears from the evidence that Commissioner Murry cannot continue to guarantee the security of the Colorado Documents. For example, his office was recently burglarized. According to Commissioner Murry, 'The office is located in an old house on the Capitol campus, and Murray says 'it's a well-known fact that security is minimal.'"
Swandal declared Murray has shown "his demonstrated inability or unwillingness to keep the Colorado Documents secure."
"I'm sure it's no coincidence that after the documents were ordered sealed by a judge someone just happened to try and break in the COPP offices to steal them. It's typical of the corruption that reeks in Helena," said Ferguson.
COPP also used stolen ATP financial information to publicize the names and contact information of ATP's donors. Under section 501(c)4 of IRC federal law, such information is protected for privacy reasons.
"We are contacting the IRS and Treasury Department to see what federal laws were broken by Steve Bullock and Jim Murry," said Ferguson.
"ATP always obeys every letter of every applicable law. Everything we do is not just legal but in pursuit of accountable government. Corrupt politicians hate us, and we have seen them lower themselves to lies, smears and now working with meth dealers to traffic in stolen materials" said ATP Executive Director Donald Ferguson.
ATP Responds to Frontline's False Claims
American Tradition Partnership Responds to Frontline Story's False Claims of Campaign Finance Violations
Coordinated smear campaign by political opponents revealed
October 30, 2012 –American Tradition Partnership (ATP) responded late Tuesday evening to the false claims of improper political activity alleged in this evening's broadcast of "Big Sky, Big Money" on PBS's Frontline.
"This is simply the latest unsubstantiated, well-coordinated attack on American Tradition Partnership, brought on by opponents of the work we do to educate grassroots citizens about important issues related to the environment, energy, and economic growth," said Donald Ferguson, Executive Director of ATP. "Aside from wild conspiracy theories and willful misreadings of applicable campaign finance and nonprofit laws, tonight's Frontline story simply revealed what most Montanans and Americans already knew: that radical anti-growth environmentalists aren't the only ones who are free to organize, raise money, and communicate with the public on important policy topics."
The Frontline story, as well as coordinated articles appearing online at the web sites of leftist groups ProPublica and the Center for Public Integrity, relies heavily on stolen documents of dubious validity. The documents purported to come from ATP apparently made their way from a stolen car to a 'meth house' in Denver, into the hands of Colorado Democratic Party operatives, and from there to the Montana Commission on Political Practices (COPP). ATP has not been allowed to see the documents to assess their authenticity, but has been able to confirm that some of the documents are not ATP-related but instead are connected with other clients of an ATP consultant or an independent mailshop owned by the same consultant's wife.
"It would be very interesting to know just how several media outlets were able to view stolen documents in the custody of the Montana Commission on Political Practices but no attempt was made to return them to their owners," said Ferguson. "This looks to be just another example of corruption at the Commission and by the political establishment, who are enraged that the public are being told the truth."
The head of Montana's COPP is a direct appointee of the governor, unique among all states. The past three Commissioners have all been political allies of the current governor, including his campaign attorney and treasurer. One of the three was forced to resign this summer after engaging in illegal activities as Commissioner. Current Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Steve Bullock has been repeatedly embarrassed in recent months by numerous losses to ATP and other citizens and groups as Montana's unconstitutional campaign finance laws have been successfully challenged.
"Our success in challenging radical environmentalists and the grossly unconstitutional campaign finance system they and their allies rely on to stifle debate has won us some very powerful enemies," Ferguson said. "While we'd prefer to see recognition for our hard work come in some form other than baseless smears and hysterical innuendo on national television, we're proud of our efforts to educate grassroots citizens."
Earlier today a judge blocked further release of the stolen documents. ATP has also notified state and federal law enforcement authorities about the illegal transfer and possession of stolen goods that was apparently undertaken by Democratic Party officials as well as the staff of Frontline, ProPublica, and the Center for Public Integrity.
Bullock faces more than $46,000 fine for illegal campaign checks
Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock faces a fine between $15,472.15 and $46,416.45 after the state's Commission on Political Practices ruled he passed 11 illegal campaign checks totaling $15,472.15 in the Nov. 6 race for governor.
Under Montana law the fine for a campaign finance violation is one to three times the amount involved.
Bullock, the state's top law enforcement officer, faces around a dozen other charges of illegal campaign fundraising that are still to be ruled on by the Commission.
Additionally, Bullock must appear before a federal judge Monday to face contempt charges after he falsely claimed a $500,000 contribution from the Montana Republican Party to his opponent, Rick Hill, was illegal and sought enforcement actions. The contribution was legal at the time it was made. Retroactively enforcing laws that did not exist at the time violates the federal court order in the case, as well as the U.S. Constitution.
Bullock will also likely face a federal investigation in a corruption case to be filed next week.
ATP not surprised Bullock found guilty of breaking campaign finance laws
BOZEMAN — American Tradition Partnership is not surprised Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock was found guilty Thursday of breaking state campaign finance laws regarding 11 illegal campaign checks totaling $15,472.15.
"Steve Bullock has repeatedly thrown false accusations at American Tradition Partnership and anyone else who questions his agenda," said ATP Executive Director Donald Ferguson. "Once again we find out the only person breaking the law is Steve Bullock himself."
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. Montana citizens have filed over a dozen other documented cases of Bullock pocketing illegal PAC and corporate contributions," said Ferguson. "And there will be new documented revelations of wrongdoing and corruption against Bullock coming out as we verify the information."
The decision was issued by Deputy Commissioner of Political Practices Jay Dufrechou, a former donor to Bullock.
American Tradition Partnership, through its Montana Statesman newspaper, is offering cash rewards for tips leading to the arrest. Citizens can forward information to email@example.com or 219-7287.
Since its founding in Montana, by Montanans, in 2007, ATP has held public officials accountable for corruption and cozy ties to job-killing environmentalists. The group has never been found guilty of wrongdoing, which is more than can be said for Steve Bullock.
Steve Bullock under state investigation for illegal corporate fundraising
From the Montana Statesman:
Steve Bullock (Attorney General), and the Montana Department of Justice don't want you to know what they are lobbying for – and have apparently been running a disinformation campaign about what they support and don't support.
This has been revealed in a formal complaint submitted to the Montana Commissioner of Political Practices.
The official complaint can be read here: Reid v Dep't of Justice and Bullock
But there are many more campaign finance complaints against Attorney General Steve Bullock – just click on any of the state investigations below:
COPP documents: Bullock took 18 illegal PAC, corporate checks
American Tradition Partnership Executive Director Donald Ferguson released the following statement Friday afternoon:
I'm surprised to read Attorney General Steve Bullock claim he will not accept contributions above the unconstitutional $630 limit. Back when the contribution law was in force he violated it and other campaign finance laws at least 18 times.
Why did Bullock wait until the law was overturned to suddenly decide he'll stop breaking it?
American Tradition Partnership follows every applicable law to the letter. Every case we have ever brought has eventually been settled in our favor. The law and the Constitution are always on our side.
But when it comes to breaking Montana's campaign finance laws, Steve Bullock is a virtual Al Capone. Make no mistake. Steve Bullock is one of the most corrupt public officials in the United States.
According to sworn, documented complaints filed with the Commissioner of Political Practices (http://politicalpractices.mt.gov/2recentdecisions/docket.mcpx):
* Bullock pocketed contributions from the Pfizer drug company corporate PAC on Apr. 27, 2009, June 10, 2011 and June 4, 2012 that totaled far above the legal limit, by nearly 50 percent. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock pocketed corporate PAC cash from British-based GlaxoSmithKline on Dec. 15, 2009, Aug. 1, 2011 and June 4, 2012 that totaled twice the legal limit. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock pocketed primary election contributions from the Endo drug company corporate PAC on May 16, 2012 at twice the legal limit. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
(It should be noted Bullock was supposed to be negotiating with these drug companies on price-fixing allegations while taking that cash.)
* Bullock received a $300.00 check from the GFEA union PAC, on Mar. 16, 2011. GFEA is not a legal PAC, therefore Bullock accepted an illegal contribution. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock took illegal contributions from the BFFL 521 union PAC, on May 16, 2012 that were more than double the legal limit. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock also took $1,260.00 in funds from the MEA MFT COPE union PAC on February 1, 2012, that is also twice the legal limit. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock did the same thing, which is again illegal, when he pocketed the same amounts from the HEA union PAC on June 4, 2012. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock took funds at the legal limit from the Montana Public Employees Association PAC, on April 9, 2012, but then accepted an additional $500 – which is illegal – just weeks later on May 31. (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock took $600 from the "Rent-A-Center, Inc. Good Government Committee" PAC, the corporate PAC of Rent-A-Center, on June 30, 2011. Bullock then received an additional $660 on Apr. 13, 2012, which is above the legal limit both cumulatively and as an individual gift. Bullock also reported it as coming from the "RAC Good Government Committee" to make it appear to be a different donor. (Olson v. Swope)
* Bullock pocketed $630 from Glacier PAC on Mar. 11, 2012 that was legally designated for the general election, but Bullock reported it for the primary (Tuininga v. Bullock) That allows him to later solicit an illegal contribution.
* Bullock took two contributions from the Swiss-based Holcim corporation PAC totaling $620. Holcim wrote two checks, $310 for the primary and $310 for the general but Bullock reported them both for the primary (Tuininga v. Bullock). That allows him to later solicit an illegal contribution.
* Bullock pocketed contributions from The Home Depot corporate PAC totaling $1,260 on Dec. 14, 2011 for the primary election. (Tuininga v. Bullock) That is twice the legal limit.
* Bullock also did the same thing with Lowe's corporate PAC on June 5, 2012 (Tuininga v. Bullock)
* Bullock took $310 from Publishers Clearing House, which is a corporation and not a PAC. (Swope v. Bullock) Corporate donations are expressly illegal.
* Bullock took three checks from "Citizens for Responsible Government – Employees of MSE," one for $300 on May 12, 2011, one for $300 on Dec. 7, 2011 and one for $660 just a week later on Dec. 14, 2011. (Swope v. Bullock) The legal limit for a PAC is $630, putting Bullock over the legal limit by $600.
* Bullock took $600 from McDaniel Leadership PAC, which is not registered with the OPP. It also appears to be a corporation out of Arkansas (Swope v. Bullock)
* Bullock reported spending just $15 dollars for a room at the Big Sky Resort on Jan. 15, 2012. (Swope v. Bullock) Rooms cost well over $100 a night, therefore Montana law requires the difference should have been reported as a contribution to Bullock, which he failed to do. Additionally, corporate contributions are also illegal.
American Tradition Partnership follows every applicable law to the letter.
Steve Bullock habitually breaks the law, then tries to cover it up with phony allegations against others that are always thrown out of court.
Instead of false accusations and phony charges against law-abiding citizens Bullock should stop breaking the laws he's supposed to enforce.

A recent message from our patient, Cheryl Stein: I saw the picture (on Facebook) of you dancing with Ethel Dietz's Mother... I just wanted to say how touched I was to see someone take a few seconds of their time to make someone else happy... I cried when I saw this picture... I am a surgical first assistant, and I have watched doctors over the years lose their compassion because of bureaucracy, law suits, and greed... The minute it took you to spin that woman around the room may be the only event she remembers, as dementia eats away (her memory) ... What you did for that woman is just short of a miracle... She may have been the young woman dancing at her prom, or a bride, dancing at her wedding ... Don't ever lose that compassionate side that you so exquisitely displayed...

Medical Term:
Although, cellulitis is usually preceded by skin surface
injury, it may occur in skin that has not been damaged.
Most common site for cellulitis is the leg. Usually the
infection starts after the skin has been damaged by an injury,
ulceration or athlete's foot.
Infection may spread rapidly if it enters the lymph vessels and
the blood stream and then spread throughout the body.
Therapy entails:
Rest in bed until fever
disappears and other symptoms improve. Resume your normal
activities as soon as symptoms improve.
No special diet.
Rare but serious complication is spread of infection
under the skin resulting in tissue death as in necrotizing
Nothing specified.

Samsung B7722 / B7702 to be Samsung's first 3G dual SIM touchscreen phone
Samsung has quite many dual SIM phones, but none of them feature 3G connectivity. Well, this is about to change soon with the introduction of the Samsung B7722 / B7702, a new touchscreen handset that should be available in Asia, Europe and Africa.
Apparently, the B7722 / B7702 will feature EDGE and HSDPA connectivity, a 3.2 inch display with 240 x 432 pixels (an unusual resolution, also seen at Sprint's Samsung Instinct), Wi-Fi, social networking services, FM radio, and a 5MP camera.
The Samsung B7702 has been spotted in China (see photos below), while Samsung B7722 is likely headed to Europe, since it's mentioned by several European online retailers (here and here). The two model numbers designate the same phone, though, as suggested by the Bluetooth SIG here and here.
The Samsung B7722 / B7702 should cost around $400 and it might be launched in Europe as soon as next month (in June).

How to Diagnose Landline Phone Problems
If your land line's not working, then you need to diagnose the problem as soon as you can. You have to understand whether one or more phones isn't working, and search through any device connected to your phone line, from the answering machine to the fax, to see where the problem really lies. See Step 1 below to get started.
1Understand the specifics of your situation.:
- Is it just one of several phones that isn't working? If it is, swap two of your phones. If the trouble moves with the phone, the phone or its cord is defective. If the trouble stays with the particular outlet, the problem is in that outlet or the wires leading up to it.
- To repair any problem, you first must establish what you're up against. Are all of the phones working? Are none of the phones working? What do you hear when you call your number from another phone?
2Now that you have an idea of the nature of the problem, attempt to sectionalize the trouble. There are numerous places where you can logically separate sections of your phone service. Consider each of these places and ask yourself which side the trouble is likely to be on.
3Consider everything connected to your phone line. Often the trouble is in a device you may not think about, since these devices may be out of sight, out of mind. If you all of your phones are dead, disconnect all of these devices as your first troubleshooting step.
- Answering machine
- Fax
- Computer modem
- Satellite receiver or cable box (these devices sometimes have telephone connections for authorization and pay-per-view)
Community Q&A
Why do people get a busy signal when they call me while my phone is dead?wikiHow ContributorThat is because you are charging it and it is easier for the signal to show as busy than to say phone is dead.
What does it mean if I am unable to hear other callers?wikiHow ContributorYour phone might be broken. Check for frayed wires, kinked cords, etc. Maybe it's just time to get a new phone.
I let my phone fully charge, but once I pick it up, it shows a very low battery. What can I do?
What is wrong if I can hear a caller on the phone but he cannot hear me and I have tried switching phones?
What could be the problem if a friend gave me her old landline phone with an answering machine and it won't work, and now my old one won't either?
How do you solve an open line problem?
Which phone company is responsible for land line faults?
- Keep in mind that the problem may not be in the phone itself - instead, it may be a problem in the telephone jack or the wiring. If moisture gets into ANY phone jack anywhere in the home, it can cause the connections to corrode and eventually to short out, which could cause some or all phones to stop working. Bad splices, particularly if exposed to moisture, can also cause a phone to stop working.
- The Network Interface Device (NID), also referred to as the Subscriber/Network Interface (SNI) or the Point of Demarcation (Demarc), is the box, often grey and usually on the outside of the structure, where the telephone company's wires start, the lightning protector is installed, and your phone wiring terminates. (True to telephone company tradition, the terms "NID" and "SNI" are pronounceable acronyms -- they are usually spoken as "nid" and "sny" rather than "n.i.d." or "s.n.i.") An important feature of the NID is a test jack with a short phone cord. Unplugging this cord disconnects all of your internal wiring from the telephone company's network, allowing you to plug a "known-good" phone into the NID to verify that the service is working up to your home or business. If it is, your "service" is fine but your wiring or a device inside are causing the problem. (See line lockout, below.)
- Line lockout can trip you up when troubleshooting. When your telephone line is left off the hook for more than a couple of minutes, the telephone company central office switch automatically places your line in "lockout." This prevents your line from consuming resources that might result in denials of service to other customers. Many faults in your telephone wiring or equipment will cause the central office equipment to act as if your phone is actually off the hook. When this occurs, your line goes into lockout. The troubleshooting implication is that your line may not clear for several seconds after you find and remove the cause of the problem.
- If a phone stops working after a thunderstorm, it's possible that lightning hit the phone line and caused a voltage surge that damaged the phone. The actual hit could have occurred several miles away, and traveled down the line to your phone.
- Home and small business phone wiring is usually installed using one of these topologies:
- Star or Home Run - each jack has a wire running back to the NID.
- Daisy Chain - wires from the NID go from one outlet, to the next, to the next. (This may also be called a "ring" topology, except that it is not a true ring, since the last outlet doesn't loop around and then go back to the NID.)
- Combination of the two - You may find a spur subtending from a point along a daisy chain, or that some outlets have a home run back to the NID while others are part of a Daisy Chain
- If a phone won't dial out, make sure that there isn't a tone/pulse switch set in an incorrect position (such as midway between the two positions). Note that pulse dialing won't work if you are using some VoIP services, and tone dialing won't work on some telephone lines (although this is no longer a common occurrence in the United States).
- If you suspect a phone of being bad, try it at a friend or neighbor's home where you know the phones are working. Also, if possible, try swapping the line and handset cords with known good cords from another working phone. The vast majority of phone problems can be traced to bad cords and/or bad or corroded modular plugs.
- If a phone won't ring, check to make sure the ringer volume or on/off switch isn't at the lowest or "off" setting. Also, some very old phones may have frequency-tuned "harmonic" ringers intended for use on a party line, and won't work properly on today's private phone lines due to a difference in ringing frequency.
- Telephone companies often offer a "wiring maintenance" plan. This plan covers repairs to wiring that meets their standards but has become defective. More importantly, this plan prevents you from having to pay "nonproductive dispatch" charges if the technician finds that the trouble is inside your house. Or, to be more precise, if the technician does not find any trouble outside your house (i.e., the dial tone is good up to your network interface). This is essentially extortion money, but is better paid than not paid: you're paying the telephone company to shut up, be nice, and help you when you have trouble. Your reward is no finger-pointing.
- Working on telephone wiring during a lightning storm can be fatal. Telephone wires go outside. Whether above ground or underground, they still are all vulnerable to lightning. The telephone company adds lightning protection devices outside, but the primary purpose of these devices is to protect their network from indirect lightning strikes (where lightning strikes near but does not actually hit the lines. A direct hit can start fires, turn your telephone or outlet black, and possibly kill you if you are holding the phone or working on the wires. If you need to be speaking on the telephone during a lightning storm, you should use a cordless phone or a speakerphone -- hardwired phones can bring the lightning from outside all the way to your ear.
- An industry slang term for ringing voltage is "jingle juice." You will only need to touch the wires or internal parts of a ringing telephone once in order to understand this. You can receive a very annoying, though usually not fatal, shock while working on telephone wiring, especially if the phone rings or is dialed (in the case of a rotary dial/pulse phone) while you are touching the wires. The shock will be exacerbated if you are standing on an uninsulated or wet surface, if you are touching both wires at the same time, or if any other part of your body happens to be touching a grounded metal object -- such a pipe, conduit, deep freeze, etc.

(June 6, 2013)
The Writers Guild Foundation has named a new Executive Director. Katie Buckland has taken the reins of leadership at the Foundation following the departure of longtime director Angela Kirgo.
Buckland comes to the job from the California Women's Law Center, where she served as Executive Director for eight years. Prior to that she worked as Special Assistant to former Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo overseeing media and public affairs. She also served in the Clinton Administration in several positions including Deputy Political Director and California Director for the Democratic National Committee.
Although she is new to the world of Hollywood writers, Buckland was especially drawn to the Writers Guild Foundation library and archives and their potential for training emergent writers. "Writers are, of course, the vital spark in the production process — but there's more to it than that," says Buckland. "In fact, writers are essential in crafting our collective voice as a culture. So it's important for us to broaden the pool of individual voices out there so that we can, in turn, strengthen our cultural narrative and invigorate our ongoing conversation as a people."
The new Executive Director already has several projects and programs in mind, including a traveling exhibit of the Foundation's archival materials (such as the original Star Wars script), increased community outreach and finding new ways to highlight the role of writers in movies and television.
A graduate of the University of California's Hastings College of Law, Buckland was raised in Minnesota. And though she is, by her own admission, a rookie in entertainment, she is a child of the labor movement: her father worked with the Democratic Farm Labor Party and her grandfather, a coal miner, was an organizer for the United Mine Workers.

Hi Ladies! I am new to the board and am currently only watching a 15 month old, alongside my 10 month old. I am pregnant and due in July. I manage to grocery shop now 1 day per week right after nap and lunch. But, i can't see me doing that with three little ones next fall. And, it gets hard with just these two sometimes. When do you all find the time to shop? Nights? Weekends? Thanks!
When do you grocery shop?
I do my shopping at night during the week. I hate shopping for groceries on the weekends. DH has wed and thurs off, so we usually go then... I will send him to the store in the mornings if needed to pick up odds and ends things, but we have been couponing a lot and I usually do all that, because DH doesn't get it. lol!
Lisa + Nick = Peyton 11/19/2009 & Mason 2/18/2014
Thanks! My two babies are incredibly good at the store, also....but pushing around that ginormous double shopping cart ( that can hold 2 kids) is crazy! Looks like a weekend trip is best so I can be in and out. Merry Christmas, ladies!
Married to Darroll
Mama to Jordan (age 6) Reagan ( 18 months) Corwin (6-29-13)
I shop on Sundays. I make two trips to the store - one for daycare groceries/supplies and one for our personal groceries. Easier to do two trips than push two carts! LOL

You're welcome to contact me about making a stuffed monster from one of your child's drawings (see below), but maybe you'd like to do it yourself at home. The best part about this project is spending time with your child and watching the design idea take shape as you figure out how to create it. I strongly encourage you to try it.
Here's how the project unfolded in the classroom. First, we looked at a variety of stuffed toys to see how they were made; some were commercial and others were one-of-a-kind creations. We also looked at preliminary sketches for stuffed animals, including samples of how artists draw when we're sketching out thoughts - quickly, without thinking about a perfect end product at first. The students let their drawings flow and simply crossed out what they didn't like. Then they added color, and chose at least one other view to draw - back, side, etc. A big part of the project was using fabrics and trims in the classroom — this encouraged the students to think about texture even when they were drawing: soft, furry, shiny, wrinkly, sparkly, smooth, bumpy, etc. The students cut swatches of fabric to indicate the textures their monsters should be made of, then made written notes on the drawing about color, shape, and changes they wanted on the real thing. We used 12" × 18" cardstock to draw on.
After your drawings are done at home, make a trip to the fabric/craft store and let your child choose what colors, textures, and trims he or she wants. Then pick up plenty of fiberfill… When it comes to cutting the monster from the fabric, just draw a larger copy of their drawing on the fabric - I did it with tailor's chalk. Add seam allowances and cut, sew, and stuff. It's a great school/scout/etc fundraising project too; gather a group of parents for an old-fashioned sewing bee to benefit your child's classroom.A big debt of gratitude goes to Dave Devries and the inspiration he provided through the wonderful work he's done with kid's drawings. I show his book "The Monster Engine" to every class I work with, and the kids adore it.
If you would rather have me make a creation from your child's drawing for you, I'd be delighted to - please contact me for orders.
You might enjoy the iPod Touch Fleece Blanket page too; it was another school fundraiser. Thanks for your visit.

According to the Dec. 14, 2013 "Saturday Night Live Weekend Update"
(SNL) skit, the political darling Megyn Kelly of FOX News couldn't have been more wrong when she told children worldwide that Santa was white. Santa Claus appeared live, played by Kenan Thompson. As Santa, he sought to correct Megyn's false assumption, saying, "I'm black as hell."
Santa Claus had popped in to address the Megyn Kelly controversy. He explained why the fact that Santa was black had been shrouded in secrecy for all of these years. It was a matter of risk. Santa couldn't afford being pulled over when he and his reindeer were delivering gifts.
The seriously funny skit was as deliberately provocative as Megyn Kelly. Thompson, the Santa, even confirmed his reindeer, Prancer, was gay . However, the line that got the most was laughs was political: "If Mrs. Claus was black, Santa would be living in Atlanta -- near Obama."
It's surprising to many that the color of Santa would be a worthy topic for any skit, even with an upcoming election season looming. In the meantime, it's a bet that most parents will read the traditional, "Twas the night before Christmas," Christmas Eve, not the creative version quoted by Kenan Thompson:
His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples, they amaze, and when I saw him I exclaimed, 'Damn is that Isaac Hayes?'

Chill the Drills In light of the BP oil disaster, President Obama called for a timeout on new offshore drilling -- but he didn't include America's Arctic. In less than 60 days, Shell Oil is slated to begin exploratory drilling -- the riskiest kind -- in America's fragile Arctic Ocean. Please ask Interior Secretary Salazar to put a halt to Arctic Ocean drilling this summer.
Thank You, Mr. Limbaugh!When radio host Rush Limbaugh blamed the Sierra Club for the devastating BP oil spill and suggested that we "pick up the tab" for the cleanup, people definitely responded -- with donations! That's great -- but since when did Rush Limbaugh settle for merely great? Wouldn't he want to be the Sierra Club's greatest fundraiser? You can help make it happen. Donate $10 to the Sierra Club in Rush's name, and we'll send him a special note of thanks for helping to support our efforts to promote clean-energy solutions and put an end to offshore drilling. What the heck -- we'll even offer him a backpack (but probably not one of the really nice ones).
An Artful Eco HeroOlivia Bouler, an 11-year-old from Islip, New York, wanted to do something to help save the birds in the Gulf of Mexico. She came up with the idea of sending her drawings of birds as a thank you to people who donate to conservation groups (including the Sierra Club). Her artistic efforts are charming and already have more than 650 fans on Facebook. (Watch out, Rush -- you might have some serious competition in the fundraising department.)

The Battle of New Orleans: Tulane returned from a 12-day layoff (for final exams) and fatigue proved to be too much. The Green Wave was outscored, 51-30, in the second half as city rival University of New Orleans pulled away for a 78-63 victory. The Wave led by as many as 16 in the first half, but its lack of bodies and the layoff both contributed to its struggling in the second half. Tulane shot 50 percent in the second half, but it turned the ball over 13 times and gave up too many easy looks to the Privateers. Senior Ledaryl Billingsley (Chicago, Ill.) led the Wave with 19 points and eight rebounds, while sophomore Brandon Spann (New Orleans, La.) added 18 points.
Finally a First Half: Tulane played its best first half of the season against UNO, or at least, its best first 19 minutes. The Wave led by as many as 16 in the opening stanza and held a 31-21 advantage with 1:14 to go. However, turnovers and fouls allowed the Privateers to cut the Wave lead to just six at the break. It was just the second time this season that Tulane led at halftime. However, its shooting was again weak in the opening period at 42.4 percent. It buried 50 percent of its second-half shots. However, the defense did not come through in the second half, as freshman Wayne Tinsley (Fontana, Calif.) said, "We still can't put two halves together."

This tree in Colorado Pondersoa pine is native to Colorado. It is found throughout the state in the Mountain and Plateau areas. Its distribution is principally down the Front Range from the Wyoming line to Trinidad, east to Mesa Verde, and north to the Uncomphagre plateau. Natural elevation range is 6000' to 8500'. On north slopes, ponderosa is associated with Douglas-fir. In southern portions of state, it grows along with Gambel oak. It is the most important commercial pine in the western US. It furnishes more wood products than any other pine. It will also grow in an urban setting. It is adaptable, but is intolerant of soils with high pH (alkalinity). As a young tree, it maintains its branches and looks very full. As it grows in height, the bottom and interior branches begin to "self prune" to give it a more open appearance. Ponderosa and Austrian pine often are confused. Austrian has a fuller appearance than ponderosa and maintains its lower branches.
Hardiness Zones 2 to 8; frequently heat stressed in Zone 8.
Growth rate Medium. After they are established, growth rate can reach 12" to 18" a year. They like open areas with full sun. They are not shade tolerant and they don't like real moist soils. The best growing conditions are on dryer, well-drained locations. It can reach 75' in 50-60 years.
Foliage The needles of the ponderosa pine are in fascicles (bundles) of 3, sometimes 2. They are densely crowded on the small branches, rigid, yellow-green, 3-10" long. Less sharp pointed than the Austrian pine. Leaves stay on branch for 3 to 6 years.
Cones 3" to 6" long, on a very short stalk and reddish brown. Each scale is armed with a short sharp point as compared to the Austrian pine, which has no point.
Bark Thickens as it ages. Deeply furrowed and platy looking when older and often cinnamon-red to orange color. As with many pines, the older bark exudes the sweet smell of vanilla. Younger bark is dark and scaly looking.
Insects and diseases There are many insects that like ponderosa pine. In natural areas, mountain pine beetle is threat. In urban sites, the pine engraver (Ips) beetle will attack the stressed trees. Pine tip moth also attacks trees in the 6' to 10' range.

Fairholme's Berkowitz, Fernandez Appointed to St. Joe's Board
By Robbie Whelan and Dawn Wotapka
One of Florida's largest developers has appointed two mutual-fund managers to its board of directors, signaling that the company may have big changes in the works after investors battered its stock over the summer.
St. Joe Co. a former timber company turned Florida real-estate developer, has appointed Bruce R. Berkowitz and Charles M. Fernandez of Fairholme Capital Management LLC, to its board, effective Jan. 1. The move is significant because it could signal a new direction for the company, which has struggled in recent months.
St. Joe saw its stock price plummet after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, as investors feared that the company's real-estate assets, many of which are beachfront resort properties, would be soiled by oil slicks and tar balls washing ashore from the disaster.
Then, in October, Berkowitz and St. Joe were involved in a high-profile scuffle with hedge fund manager David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Inc, who publicly announced that he thought St. Joe's stock was overvalued and its assets underperforming.
Einhorn, famous for his bet against Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. before its collapse, has short positions in St. Joe. At an investors conference, he said that the stock, which was trading between $20 and 28 this fall, was actually only worth between $7 and $10. The stock fell as low as $17.04 in November, but had recovered to more than $20 a share. It closed up 3.92% at $20.17 Thursday.
But Berkowitz and Fernandez could change the company's fortunes by taking it in a new direction. The pair joined forces with Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Pershing Square Capital Management to raise $7 billion that helped lead General Growth Properties, a massive mall operator, out of bankruptcy in October.
Fairholme is St. Joe's largest shareholder. Fernandez is a long-time deputy to Berkowitz, a star stock picker and the lead manager of the $20-billion Fairholme Funds since 1999. In a release, St. Joe Chairman Hugh M. Durden said the men "bring strong experience and valuable strategic insight to our team, have a deep understanding of our business and its inherent long-term potential."
Berkowitz, who owned nearly 27 million shares of Watersound, Fla.-based St. Joe as of the end of June, could not be reached for comment. In the release, he said the company "has uniquely valuable assets and some of the most attractive, concentrated and well-managed real estate in the U.S."
Fairholme Capital Management LLC is a mutual fund. An earlier version of this article incorrectly called it a hedge-fund. We regret the error.

|What's in the input? Frequent frames in child-directed speech offer distributional cues to grammatical categories in Spanish and English

|Linguistic Field:
|Language Acquisition; Text/Corpus Linguistics

|Recent analyses have revealed that child-directed speech contains distributional regularities that could, in principle, support young children's discovery of distinct grammatical categories (noun, verb, adjective). In particular, a distributional unit known as the frequent frame appears to be especially informative (Mintz, 2003). However, analyses have focused almost exclusively on the distributional information available in English. Because languages differ considerably in how the grammatical forms are marked within utterances, the scarcity of cross-linguistic evidence represents an unfortunate gap. We therefore advance the developmental evidence by analyzing the distributional information available in frequent frames across two languages (Spanish and English), across sentence positions (phrase medial and phrase final), and across grammatical forms (noun, verb, adjective). We selected six parent–child corpora from the CHILDES database (three English; three Spanish), and analyzed the input when children were aged 2 ; 6 or younger. In each language, frequent frames did indeed offer systematic cues to grammatical category assignment. We also identify differences in the accuracy of these frames across languages, sentences positions and grammatical classes.

Two local students won gold medals, and two teachers received Teacher of the Year honors yesterday, Thursday, June 19, 2014 at the National History Day Award Ceremony in College Park, Maryland. The Chicago Metro History Education Center (C.M.H.E.C.) stated this was "the culmination of several months of activity that began with the Chicago Metro History Fair and continued through the Illinois History Expo."
Mary Kate Baughman from Immanuel Lutheran School in Palatine finished first in the federation in the Junior Individual Exhibit category for her project, "The Living Dead: The Radium Dial Painters of Ottawa, Illinois and Their Impact on Workplace Safety." Kristen Rigsby of Taft Academic Center in Chicago finished first in the Junior Individual Website category for her project, "Robert McCormick: Defining the Rights and Responsibilities of a Free Press." Young Ms. Rigsby also won the US Constitutional History Award at the competition.
Meanwhile, Aggie Przeslicke, a teacher at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Chicago, received the Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year Award for Illinois. "It is a great honor to have my efforts acknowledged, particularly since I teach at a general neighborhood high school in Chicago at a time when schools such as mine are criticized for low performance and threatened with closure or turnaround," said Przeslicke. "The teachers I know in our school and district are hard-working, dedicated people who often struggle against tremendous odds and obstacles to help students succeed."
Donna Beck, a teacher at Saint Luke Academy in Chicago, was selected to receive the Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year Award for middle school teachers in Illinois. "Recognition at the national level for working with students on a project that I believe is so valuable and life-changing seems unfathomable," said Ms. Beck. "Students grow so much from the History Fair experience, and their success is my success. To receive a national award for something I believe is so crucial in a students' educational life, is something I never would have imagined."

Over seventy students from Illinois presented their research projects during the N.H.D. competition this week. A total of six projects from Illinois qualified for the finals.
In addition to Mary Kate Baughman and Kristen Rigsby, Leah Hall, Irena Gao, Faith Golz, Marissa Ivory of Unity Point SD 140 took 5th in the Nation in the category Junior Group Website for "The Prager Case: Patriotic Murder." Zoe Cloud of the Science and Arts Academy took 10th in the Nation in the category Junior Paper for "The Cholera Epidemics of the 1800s and How They Shaped a City."
Katie Schindler of the Science and Arts Academy also took 10th in the Nation, but in the category Junior Documentary for Protecting Our Prisoners: The Stateville Penitentiary Malaria Study and its Impacts on Human Subjects Research. Leticia Garcia and Diana Franco of Roosevelt High School took 11th in the Nation in the category Junior Group Website for "From 'White Slavery' to Widespread Vice in Chicago: Implications for Women's Rights"
"The remarkable achievements of Illinois students at NHD should make the whole state proud," said C.M.H.E.C. Executive Director Frank Valadez. "The students--and their teachers--work very hard for months, and it's great to see the fantastic achievements that result from those efforts."
"National History Day firmly believes that quality teachers are the best educational tools that students have," said Cathy Gorn, Executive Director of National History Day. "The history teachers selected as Behring award recipients are a credit to their discipline, and exemplify what it takes to truly be a quality educator."
The C.M.H.E.C. stated, "Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year Award winners are NHD participating teachers who have demonstrated excellence in the classroom. Their work must clearly illustrate the development and use of creative teaching methods that interest students in history and help them make exciting discoveries about the past, and a commitment to helping students develop their interest in history and recognize their achievements. NHD selects from the pool of state awardees one high school teacher and one middle school teacher to receive the national teaching award. Teachers are nominated by their administrators, peers, or self for the award. Each participating state is allowed to select one high school and one middle school teachers to receive the state award and consideration for the national award."
These teachers and students will be honored again at a reception at the Newberry Library on Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Thanks to in-kind support from The Newberry Library, the C.M.H.E.C. will mount the fourth annual Blue Ribbon Student Exhibition at the Newberry Library from Friday, June 27, 2014 through Friday, July 11, 2014.
The exhibition will include projects from many of the National History Day participants from Illinois, including Ms. Baughman and Ms. Rigsby. It will be open to the public during the hours that the Library is open.
Each year, more than 15,000 students from over 100 schools, in the Chicago metropolitan area create projects on topics in local and state history for the Chicago Metro History Fair, a year-long education program coordinated by C.M.H.E.C. that engages students in sixth-through-twelfth-grades with the process of discovery and interpretation of historical topics. Students from the Chicago area qualify for N.H.D. by competing at the school, regional, and metro History Fair events, after which, the best projects advance to the Illinois History Expo held in Springfield each May. These history fairs are modeled on science fairs.
The C.M.H.E.C. partners with the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency to coordinate the Illinois History Expo and the participation of Illinois students at N.H.D. About three dozen projects advance from the Illinois History Expo to the N.H.D. competition each year.
An independent, non-profit, educational organization that serves students, teachers, and parents in Chicago and suburban Cook, Lake, Kane, and DuPage counties the mission of C.M.H.E.C. is to spark students' interest in the study of history, help them build high-level thinking skills, engage them in civic life, and foster their intellectual self-confidence. Through History Fair and other programs and activities, the C.M.H.E.C. promotes a project-based, inquiry method of learning history that encourages students to research the history of their community.
The Newberry Library, the Chicago Public Library, the Chicago History Museum, and the University of Illinois at Chicago sponsor the C.M.H.E.C. It receives major grant support from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, the Polk Bros. Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation. It receives additional support from numerous other local foundations and corporations. Its offices are located at The Newberry Library, 60 West Walton Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610.

Patch, Mission, STS-36
This STS-36 patch belonged to NASA astronaut David Brown, a mission specialist who flew in space for the first time as a member of the crew of STS-107, the Space Shuttle Columbia mission that disintegrated upon reentry on February 1, 2003. Aboard STS-107, Brown logged 15 days, 22 hours, and 20 minutes in space. Although this patch was never flown in space, it was a personal memento of Brown's.
STS-36, the 6th flight of the space shuttle Atlantis, flew in March 1990. As the shuttle program's sixth mission dedicated to Department of Defense payloads, both its payload and its mission objectives remain classified. (Mission numbers reflect the initial schedule, not launch order.) The presence in Dave Brown's possessions of ten sequential mission patches, beginning of with STS-26 and including this STS-36 patch, may indicate that Brown started following the NASA space program more closely in 1988 after the return to flight following the Challenger disaster in 1986. A flight surgeon and a naval aviator, Brown was selected by NASA as an astronaut candidate in April 1996.
Doug Brown, Dave Brown's brother, gave the patch to the Museum in 2006.

NBC Sports is the live source for each Triple Crown race, including today's running of the one hundred and thirty-ninth Preakness Stakes in Baltimore, Maryland. Coverage of the second leg of the 'Big 3' begins at 4:30 p.m. ET, with the gates for the 10-horse field set to open shortly after 6 p.m.
Two weeks ago California Chrome transformed from a classic underdog into a champion. This extremely unlikely tale began when Steve Coburn and Perry Martin purchased the horse for peanuts (slightly over $10,000) and employed Art Sherman as their trainer. Sherman's addition proved to be vital and allowed him to become the oldest trainer (77) to ever win the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
Jockey Victor Espinoza will carry memories of a past bid for history with him as he rides the favorite (3-5) at Pimlico this weekend. In 2002, he went to the winner's circle at the Derby and at the Preakness aboard War Emblem, who then finished eighth at the Belmont Stakes.
Fans of the increasingly popular trio of spring races know that Affirmed was the last horse to win the Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes in 1978. Incredibly, Seattle Slew accomplished the same strenuous feat just one year earlier. Those back-to-back victories stand as the only time when the Triple Crown was won in consecutive racing seasons. The amazing Secretariat initiated the 1970s' mention, as that fleet beast turned the triple play in 1973.
Prior to the disco era, the Triple Crown hadn't been won since the 1940s. An astounding four horses took top honors when Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946) and Citation (1948) set records after three horses, Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935) and War Admiral (1937) had done the same in the 1930s.
The horse that started it all, Sir Barton (1919), was the original Triple Crown champion before that nickname was coined. In order to have a chance to join racing's founding father, California Chrome will need to fend off nine competitors on what should be a perfect spring day.

Landscaping Tips for Rich, Thriving Gardens
From Dean Dowd on April 22, 2009 in Landscaping
Successful landscaping relies on good irrigation and proper plant selection. Its important to find plants and herbs that are native to your area or climate. This will lead to a higher survival rate and a richer landscape. A good looking landscape will add value to your home and keep the green thumbs busy. If a new landscape is a DIY project, remember to pick plants, herbs, and shrubbery conducive to your climate zone. Its also a smart idea to match plants with similar sun and water needs. Photo Credit: zone41 Heres a landscape idea for the front yard with curb appeal: Build a raised flower bed with a pink Crabtree as the center piece. Start with a kidney bean shaped flower bed, then plant ground cover around the edges. From there, insert tulip bulbs and annuals; these can be placed about six inches below the surface. Its okay to plant them naturally, as if they grew there in the wild. In the center of the bed, dig a large hole and place your flowering Crabtree in this spot. To finish things off, plant some medium sized rose bushes on both sides of the Crabtree. This provides balance and structure to the bed. In the Southwest, where water is scarce, its typical to see large stone patios and native desert vegetation. This hardscape takes the place of traditional flower beds and edged lawns. In these water-restricted areas, it makes complete sense to landscape this way. Desert landscaping is often confused with xeriscaping. Xeriscaping can be done anywhere. The purpose of this landscaping is to bring together native plants with similar watering habits. Native plants tend to be heartier and use much less H2O than traditional grass lawns. Photo Credit: audreyjm529 As you plan your new landscape, be sure to check out our library of articles on water conservation and irrigation tips. Well even explain how easy it is to design your own sprinkler system. Its all under the library sections of Landscaping, Water Conservation, and Irrigation.
