Utah Governor Gary Herbert-R announced today he has decided to expand access to Medicaid for the state's neediest citizens. The governor has taken months to make a decision under considerable pressure from those for expansion, against expansion, and doing nothing. Thursday he said, "Doing nothing … I've taken off the table. Doing nothing is not an option."
Herbert says about 60,000 individuals will gain coverage under the Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare." The governor made his long-awaited announcement during his monthly news conference for PBS station KUED Channel 7 on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City. He will announce more details as early as next week. You can watch the news conference on Sunday, January 26 at 5:30 p.m.
The legislature's Health Reform Task Force has made two recommendations, and Herbert has not indicated which he will select or if he has another plan. The 2014 Session of the Utah Legislature is scheduled to begin in Salt Lake City next Monday, and as they control the budgeting process, the governor has vowed to work with them to find a way to fund Medicaid expansion in the future.
The first Task Force option allows public money to buy private insurance for those under the federal poverty level. Those at or above that level would be able to use the federal health exchange and receive federal subsidies to help pay for the coverage.
The second option is to use public money to purchase coverage through private insurance for anyone at 138 percent of the federal poverty level, providing Medicaid to 111,000 Utahns. Families of four with an income of $32,000 or 138 percent of the federal poverty level would be able to have 100 percent of the cost covered through 2017 if the governor chooses to allow full expansion. The feds would continue to cover no less than 90 percent of the cost after 2017.
State Senator and head of the Utah Democratic Party Jim Dabakis is pleased that Herbert is moving forward. In a statement he said, "We trust this is not a conditional acceptance, and that the Utah Legislature will see the wisdom in joining so many other states in providing a hand up to [people] desperate for affordable healthcare.

The Czech Republic is on its way to a medical marijuana program after parliament approved a bill that would make marijuana legal medicine in a 67-7 vote.
The Czech Republic is already considered one of the most liberal countries in the European Union when it comes to so called "soft drugs." Possession offenses involving up to half an ounce of pot and up to five marijuana plants are punishable by just a small fine.
The medical marijuana bill calls for the Czech Republic to import pot for about a year from either Israel or Holland. After that, the State Institute for Drug Control will issue licenses to local growers.
Czech medical cannabis will be available to those suffering from cancer, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or psoriasis.
The bill must now be signed by the president for the law to take effect.

Hegel's logic of finitude

In "Violence and Metaphysics" Jacques Derrida suggests that "the only effective position to take in order not to be enveloped by Hegel would seem to be…to consider false-infinity…irreducible." Inversely, refuting the charge of logocentrism associated with Hegelian true infinity (wahrhafte Unendlichkeit) would involve showing that Hegel's speculative logic does not establish the infinity of being exempt from the negativity of the finite. This paper takes up Derrida's challenge, and argues that true infinity is crucial to Hegel's understanding of ideality as a question of normative authority, which does not fall prey to logocentrism. Through an exposition of the dialectic of the finite and the infinite in Hegel's Science of Logic, I argue that true infinity is not an ontological category that eliminates division, but rather refers to the metalogical standpoint involved in a philosophical account of determinacy. Although fully achieved at the end of the Logic, the metalogical standpoint that Hegel elaborates in the Seinslogik under the banner of the true infinite already clarifies that determinacy is a product of normative authority that is itself precarious.

Mark Hamill explains the story of Star Wars
Once upon a time in a galaxy.....no-one knew what Star Wars was. Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, tries to explain it in an interview at Sydney Opera House, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Footage courtesy: The Opera House Project.PT5M5S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-29s9d 620 349 November 22, 2012
The Sydney Opera House is launching a website which gives the public a new way to experience the story of the iconic venue.
The site, www.theoperahouseproject.com, is a rich mulitimedia online documentary that has been developed in cooperation with the ABC. It goes live at 5am on Thursday.
The project arose out of an idea to document the Sydney Opera House in an innovative digital environment.
The experience is crafted from a balance between newly written material and the archival narratives that reveal aspects of the story in the words of those who were there.
Hours of content are available to view, including this rare video interview with Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. It was filmed not long after the movie was released in 1977.

Mario (マリオ?) is arguably Nintendo's most popular character as well as its mascot, the face of the gaming world, and is the long-running eponymous hero in the extensive Mario series of video games. He appears as a playable fighter, unlocked from the start of the game, in each of the four Super Smash Bros. generations. He's often shown in intro videos and trailers, and played a very prominent role in the Subspace Emissary.
Character Description
Mario was first created by Shigeru Miyamoto as the protagonist for the game Donkey Kong for the arcade. Miyamoto would follow this up with more arcade games such as Donkey Kong Jr. and Mario Bros. before giving Mario his iconic title: Super Mario Bros. for the Famicom/NES. The game was incredibly well-received, and is considered one of Mario's greatest adventures to date, as well as one of the greatest video games of all time. This game introduced many major themes of the Mario series that are now considered trademarks. For over twenty years afterward, Mario would star in hundreds of universally acclaimed games on Nintendo systems. Mario and his accompanying franchises can be viewed as Nintendo's thematic tileset with which to create games of a whimsical, colorful, and light-hearted nature.
Mario is rarely depicted speaking coherent English sentences. In contemporary Mario games, his high-pitched Italian voice, provided by Charles Martinet, is used mainly for grunts and yells, and the character's occasional catchphrases, such as "Mama-mia!", "It's-a-me, Mario!", and "Let's-a go!"
Mario has been playable in hundreds of games that span dozens of genres. One of his most prominent is the traditional 2D side-scrolling platformer, with games such as various sequels to Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Bros. 3, which introduced iconic features, like the Super Leaf, the SNES launch platformer, Super Mario World, which introduced Yoshi, Mario's faithful dino companion, and the DS homage to these games, New Super Mario Bros.. Mario has also evolved into 3D platformers, with seminal titles such as the Super Mario 64, the first iteration of Mario in three dimensions, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. Mario and friends also star in series such as Mario Kart, an off-the-wall racing franchise, Mario Party, a long-running party series, various Mario-themed sports titles such as Mario Golf and Mario Tennis, hands-on RPGs like Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario, and a puzzle game, known as Dr. Mario (his persona in this game is also a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. For fighter info, see Dr. Mario).
Mario seems to possess superhuman abilities, such as superhuman strength and stamina, the ability to control fire, and more.
He is seen lifting the giant King Bob-omb, and, even a more impressive feat, swinging the great King Bowser around by the tail and throwing him great distances in Super Mario 64. He lifts a comically overweight Luigi in the form of an attack in Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Mario is also seen lifting a fortress that weighs an estimated 100,000 tons in Super Mario World and then kicking it away.
One of Mario's trademarks is his incredible jumping ability. Though the height of his jumps varies between games, they are always greater than that of a normal human being. He is also able to perform many of these incredible jumps in quick succession.
Mario appears to be able to run at superhuman speeds, and is also able to jump off of walls indefinitely. He seems to be skilled in gymnastics, as he can walk on tightropes, swing vertically on bars, and climb fences both horizontally and vertically. As seen in Super Mario RPG and the Super Smash Bros. series, Mario is able to summon fire from his hands without the use of a Fire Flower. With the use of other power ups, such as the Ice Flower, Super Leaf, or Super Bell, Mario (and anyone else who obtains these items) is able to create ice and use it to freeze opponents, fly into the air, and climb up walls respectively.
In Super Smash Bros.
As a playable character
Mario makes his first appearance in a fighting game in the original Super Smash Bros. as a playable character unlocked from the start. He is based on his appearance in Super Mario 64. Like in many other games, he is touted as the most balanced character with no real strengths or weaknesses, therefore, new players of the game are encouraged to play as him. In the competitive meta-game, he can combo well but lacks a multipurpose finisher. His lack of outstanding strengths make him only a high tier fighter, not top tier.
His neutral special move shoots a Fireball in the direction he is facing which travels a short distance and bounces off of any surface it hits before disappearing. his recovery, the Super Jump Punch, is an uppercut which hits multiple times (and coins briefly appear with each hit). His down special move is the Mario Tornado, where he whirls his body to damage foes around him, before throwing them up into the air.
Mario's in-game character description reads:
- Mario
- Although best known as the mustachioed plumber who battles the Turtle Tribe with his distinct jumping action, this internationally-famous hero has also acted as a referee, a driver, and even a doctor! He's been linked to Princess Peach of Mushroom Kingdom for years, but to this day their true relationship remains a mystery.
- Works:
- Super Mario Bros. (NES),
- Super Mario Kart (SNES),
- Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64)
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
As a playable character
By tradition, Mario returns as the most balanced character of the Melee roster, and new Melee players are encouraged to try out the game as him because of that reason given. As a starting playable character in this game, he is touted as the most balanced character of the game's character roster, much like his appearances in other games, with no real strengths but no outstanding weaknesses either.
His new side special move is whipping out his yellow Cape from Super Mario World to turn the enemy in front of him facing the opposite direction, which is useful for diverting enemy attack and recovery.
In the competitive meta-game, he can easily combo opponents, has a long wavedash, and is good at juggling opponents. However, it is his lack of a reliable finisher that causes him to remain in the game's Middle Tier; his Smash attacks do not even feature all that much knockback and range, which impairs his ability to fight a character like Marth. He also has low grab range and bad recovery. It is notable that in both versions Mario has great combo potential coupled with the lack of a good finisher.
By tradition, Mario as a playable character is featured on his personal 3 trophies. His normal trophy is acquired by beating the Classic mode with Mario on any difficulty, and his Smash Red and Smash Blue trophies are acquired the same way by beating the Adventure and All-Star modes, respectively.
Other trophies featuring Mario are Raccoon Mario, Metal Mario, Paper Mario, and Mario and Yoshi. The last trophy in particular is especially notable for being one of two "gift trophies" never findable during normal play, and in fact can only be acquired through hacking. There is also a trophy for Baby Mario, a baby version of Mario that has appeared in some Mario games.
Mario's Classic Mode trophy, and his Baby Mario trophy, read as follows:
Known worldwide as Mr. Nintendo, Mario uses his incredible jumping ability to thwart the evil Bowser time after time. While he's best known as a hero, Mario has played many roles, including racer, doctor, golfer, and villain. His tastes have changed over 20 years of gaming; he long ago swapped the colors of his shirt and overalls.
- Donkey Kong, Arcade 1981
Baby Mario
Long ago, when the stork was carrying Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to the Mario household, the stork was ambushed, causing Baby Mario to tumble onto Yoshi's Island. This marked the beginning of the Yoshi's adventure to deliver Baby Mario to his parents. Since then, Baby Mario's been spotted on golf courses and tennis courts.
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (10/95)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a Playable Character
In a maneuver both traditional and expected, Mario is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is ostensibly meant to be the most balanced character like before. His appearance is based on his current appearance in the later Mario games, such as Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine. He has undergone a visual redesign, like his Fireball, which looks more realistic. However, he is essentially the same fighter as he appeared in Melee, retaining all of his moves (although his former Down B attack, the Mario Tornado, has become an aerial attack, unexpectedly replaced by F.L.U.D.D.).
Like all of the games other returning characters, he comes equipped with a high-end new Final Smash attack which can be used once he collects a Smash Ball. His Final Smash is the Mario Finale, where he projects a colossal, intertwining fireball to engulf all opponents in his direction. The Mario Finale extends to both well above and well below Mario's position, so Smash Bros. DOJO!! recommends that he is standing on a moderately elevated platform for maximum effect. He has, however, been severely nerfed in both power and range.
Baby Mario
Mario as a baby...a crybaby at that. Although he lacks overalls, we can see the trademark red hat even at this young age. Everyone's favorite hero was riding Yoshi and adventuring from his youngest days, and even as a baby, it's clear that Mario had quite the nose.
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (Super Nintendo)
- Yoshi's Island DS (Nintendo DS)
Mario has a trophy that is awarded each time the Classic mode is completed with Mario on any difficulty. You can get a Mario Finale Trophy each time you complete All-Star mode with Mario. See Mario Finale for the trophy description of Mario's Final Smash:
A familiar overall-clad figure who is Nintendo's flagship character. His courage and jumping ability have seen him through countless adventures. He's a multi-talented plumber with the knowledge of a physician, a top-notch golfer, and a veteran tennis umpire. Is his jumping prowess a boon from his girder-climbing days?
- Donkey Kong (1981)
- Super Mario Bros. (1985)
In Super Smash Bros (Wii U and 3DS)
As a playable character
- Main Article: Mario (SSBWU/3DS)
Unsurprisingly, Mario is returning as a veteran for Super Smash Bros. (Wii U and 3DS). Similarly to other characters, Mario is a mix between his Melee and Brawl incarnation in that he regained his good power and range with his attacks, while also sporting a somewhat floaty airgame but a reliable Final Smash. Unfortunately, he suffers from some recurring characteristics that aren't too good for him like poor grab range and still has F.L.U.D.D. as his down special which hardly serves much of a role in competitive play (custom moves compensate for this in some ways, however). Overall, he sports very balanced attributes making him a great character for beginners to use.
It's-a him! Maaario! Whether he's wearing one of his special outfits or just his normal blue dungarees, this running, jumping, Bowser-bashing, princess-saving hero is an all-round superstar. And in this game, he's got enough tricks up his sleeve to deal with anything. If you don't know which fighter to pick, Mario's a solid choice.
Mario (alt.)
Mario's Super Jump Punch takes you high into the air, and if you cath an opponent with it, they'll go up with you. Try to hit them at the very start of the move to do the most damage. His default side special, Cape, can flip fighters around. If you're really crafty, you can even use it to keep someone from getting back on the stage!
Paper Mario
A paper-thin version of Mario from the Paper Mario series. Most recently, he set off on a sticker-packed adventure to find the wish-granting Royal Stickers. Stickers aren't just for collecting, though - they're for makin bridges, opening ancient doors, and even for taking on foes in battle!
Baby Mario
A baby version of Mario (sans moustache) who first appeared in Yoshi's Island. Science he's still in nappies, it's up to Yoshi to keep him safe. Give him a Super Star, though, and he'll turn invincible, just like grown-up Mario! If only it gave him a moustache too... That would be awesome.
Wii U
As iconic as iconic gets, this gaming celebrity is know for saving the world from Bowser. He's got amazing jumping skills and makes use of a wide range of transformations. In his free times, he plays too many sports to count. In Smash Bros., he's a well-rounded fighter you can rely on. Say it with me: "It's-a-me, Mario!"
NES - Donkey Kong Classics (09/1988)
NES - Super Mario Bros. (10/1985)
- The trophy for Baby Mario claims that he lacks overalls, but overalls can be clearly seen on the trophy.
- In SSBB, his clothes look more realistic; his overalls and red shirt are more detailed.
- Nintendo has confirmed that Mario's genus is Homo Nintendonus, meaning that he, along with Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, and Rosalina, is technically not human. [1]

Have Americans Turned Inward?
At a time when the U.S. is still at war in Afghanistan, when in the eyes of foreigners U.S. stature as the hegemonic power is in question, and when a euro crisis could derail the American economy's tenuous recovery, voters are turning inward. Nevertheless, when American national security is seen as threatened by Iran or terrorism, voters remain aggressively internationalist.
Chapter 1. Views of the U.S. and American Foreign Policy
Overall ratings for the U.S. remain largely positive in 12 of 20 countries, including large majorities in a number of European nations, as well as Japan and Brazil. In contrast, ratings are decidedly negative in four of the six predominantly Muslim countries polled. The U.S. also receives poor marks in crisis-ridden Greece. In most nations, […]
Global Opinion of Obama Slips, International Policies Faulted
Global approval of President Barack Obama's international policies has declined significantly since he first took office, while overall confidence in him and attitudes toward the U.S. have slipped modestly as a consequence. In nearly all countries surveyed, there is considerable opposition to a major component of the Obama administration's anti-terrorism policy: drone strikes.
From Hyperpower to Declining Power
Since the Sept. 11 attacks, views about American power have changed, as economic issues have trumped security concerns. Today, many see the U.S. as a great power in decline.
Chapter 2. Views of the U.S. and American Foreign Policy
America's image remains positive in most of the nations surveyed, and favorable ratings are particularly high in Europe. In most predominantly Muslim countries, however, views of the United States continue to be overwhelmingly negative. For the most part, opinions of the U.S. have changed little, if at all, in most countries for which trends are […]
China Seen Overtaking U.S. as Global Superpower
The United States continues to receive positive ratings in much of the world, but it faces the new challenge of doubts about its superpower status. Publics around the world increasingly believe that China either will replace or already has replaced the U.S. as the world's leading superpower.
Chapter 3. Death of bin Laden and the Battle Against Extremists
Although Osama bin Laden was not well-regarded in recent years, few Pakistanis approve of the military operation that killed him, and most say it is a bad thing that the al Qaeda leader is dead. Looking forward, many think the killing of bin Laden will create even greater tensions between the U.S. and their country. […]
U.S. Image in Pakistan Falls No Further Following bin Laden Killing
America's image among Pakistanis remains poor, and most disapprove of the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden. Extremist groups also remain unpopular, although support for using the Pakistani military against extremists has waned. Most name India as the top threat to Pakistan. Overall, the public mood in Pakistan is grim – 92% are dissatisfied with the country's direction.
Chapter 1. Opinions of the U.S. and President Barack Obama
The image of the United States remains overwhelmingly negative in predominantly Muslim countries. U.S. favorability ratings are low in nearly all of the Muslim nations surveyed, and majorities or pluralities in all seven say the U.S. does not take the interests of countries like theirs into account when making foreign policy decisions. Moreover, many continue […]
Chapter 2. Attitudes Toward the U.S. and President Barack Obama
The image of the United States remains overwhelmingly negative in Pakistan, and few Pakistanis express confidence in U.S. President Barack Obama to do the right thing in world affairs. America's favorability in Pakistan is lower than in 18 of 21 countries other than the U.S. included in the 2010 Pew Global Attitudes survey and matches […]
Concern About Extremist Threat Slips in Pakistan
Overwhelmingly, Pakistanis see terrorism as a major problem in their country and most have negative views of the Taliban and al Qaeda, but they have become less concerned over the last year that extremists will take over Pakistan. Meanwhile, Pakistanis continue to express serious concerns about the U.S. and their longtime rival India.
Chapter 1. The Battle Against Extremism
The Taliban and al Qaeda remain generally unpopular in Pakistan, and Pakistanis continue to overwhelmingly reject the suicide terrorism associated with both groups. Many Pakistanis say the Taliban poses a serious threat to their country and about half of those surveyed are worried that extremists could take control of Pakistan. However, concerns about an extremist […]
Obama More Popular Abroad Than At Home, Global Image of U.S. Continues to Benefit
As the global economy begins to rebound from the great recession, people around the world remain deeply concerned with the way things are going in their countries. Less than a third of the publics in most nations say they are satisfied with national conditions, as overwhelming numbers say their economies are in bad shape. […]
Chapter 1. Views of the U.S. and American Foreign Policy
America's image is on balance positive in most of the nations surveyed, and overall there has been little change since last year. Looking at the 20 countries surveyed for which 2009 trends are available, positive views of the United States have become more common in six nations, less common in six, and have remained about […]
Pakistani Public Opinion
Pakistani public opinion has turned against al Qaeda and the Taliban, and no fewer than 69% of those polled express worry that extremists will take control of the nation. Ratings for President Asif Ali Zardari have also plummeted, as Pakistanis see their country in crisis.

Confidence in Obama Lifts U.S. Image Around the World
The image of the United States has improved markedly in most parts of the world reflecting global confidence in Barack Obama. In many countries, opinions of the U.S. are now about as positive as they were at the beginning of the decade before George W. Bush took office.
Chapter 1. Views of the U.S. and American Foreign Policy
Attitudes toward the United States have become more positive in many nations across the globe over the last year. The shift in public opinion has been especially strong in Western Europe, but can be seen elsewhere as well, including Latin America, Asia, Africa, and to a lesser extent, the Middle East. In some nations, positive […]
Global Optimism, Local Fears
Global Unease With Major World Powers
A 47-nation survey finds global public opinion increasingly wary of the world's dominant nations and disapproving of their leaders.

In Europe, as well as predominantly Muslim countries, the U.S. is generally less popular than Germany, France, Japan, and China. However, the U.S. fares somewhat better in Asia; in fact, Indians […]
Two Americas, One American
The Differences that Divide Us are Much Smaller than Those that Set Us Apart from the Rest of the World
How the United States is Perceived in the Arab and Muslim Worlds
Testimony of Andrew Kohut, U.S. House International Relations Committee, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
U.S. Image Up Slightly, But Still Negative
Anti-Americanism in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, which surged as a result of the U.S. war in Iraq, shows modest signs of abating. But the United States remains broadly disliked in most countries surveyed, and the opinion of the American people is not as positive as it once was.
Chapter 3. Opinions of U.S. Policies
A continuing source of resentment toward the U.S. is the view that America pays little if any attention to the interests of other countries in making international policy decisions. Americans, as might be expected, do not subscribe to this view. Two-thirds of the U.S. public says the United States pays either a great deal (28%) […]
A Year After Iraq War
A year after the war in Iraq, discontent with America and its policies has intensified rather than diminished. Opinion of the United States in France and Germany is at least as negative now as at the war's conclusion, and British views are decidedly more critical. Perceptions of American unilateralism remain widespread in European and Muslim nations, and the war in Iraq has undermined America's credibility abroad. Doubts about the motives behind the U.S.-led war on terrorism abound, and a growing percentage of Europeans want foreign policy and security arrangements independent from the United States. Across Europe, there is considerable support for the European Union to become as powerful as the United States.

"Every Shot Must Have a Purpose" lays out an integrated approach to the game that allows players to lose the frustration, find the fun, and achieve their ultimate potential.Nilsson and Marriott's "VISION54" method is based upon the theory that it's possible to shoot a 54 if only you use the right mind-set and intuitive power, breaking golf down into five elements (physical, technical, mental, emotional and social) using exercises and cutting-edge techniques to integrate these elements and create a climate for peak performance.

Jackson Southernaires
Throughout the United States, The Jackson Southernaires have become one of America's most outstanding gospel sensations. Frank Crisler formed the group in Jackson, Mississippi in 1940. Early on, the group followed in the footsteps of the famous Mississippi Blind Boys, but before long, they began to walk in their own distinct style, which is still evident today. They were the first gospel group in the state to use the guitar, bass, drum, and keyboard in their stage performance.

In conventional X-rays, a beam of energy is aimed at the body part being studied. A plate behind the body part captures the variations of the energy beam after it passes through skin, bone, muscle and other tissue. While much information can be obtained from a regular X-ray, specific detail about internal organs and other structures is not available.
What is an ultrafast/electron beam CT scan?
With CT scans, the X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body. This allows for many different views of the same organ or structure, and provides much greater detail. The X-ray information is sent to a computer which interprets the X-ray data and displays it in two-dimensional (2-D) form on a monitor.
CT scans may be done with or without contrast. Contrast is a substance taken by mouth or injected into an intravenous (I.V.) line that causes the particular organ or tissue being studied to be seen more clearly.
If the child' s doctor schedules a CT scan of the heart or chest and decides to use contrast dye, the child may need to be NPO (fasting, nothing by mouth) for four hours prior to the procedure. Parents will receive instructions about this from the child' ' s doctor or another healthcare professional.
Parents will need to let the child' ' s doctor know if their child has ever had a reaction to any contrast dye, or if he is allergic to iodine or seafood. If a teenage daughter is pregnant or could be pregnant, parents should notify the doctor prior to the procedure.
Children may receive a mild sedative before the procedure to make them feel more comfortable, and to help them to remain still and quiet during the procedure, which may last 30 to 60 minutes.
Parents may be able to stay with their child in the CT scan room until he becomes sleepy, but are usually asked to wait in another area during the procedure to avoid exposure to unnecessary radiation.
The CT scanner is located in a large room. The child will lie on a narrow table that slides into the hollow tube-shaped scanner.
The child may have an intravenous (I.V.) line for contrast medication. The contrast medication may be injected prior to or during the procedure.
The CT doctor and staff will be in an adjacent room where the equipment controls are located. However, they will be able to see the child through a large window and will be monitoring him constantly during the procedure. If the child is not sedated, he will be given a call bell device to let the staff know if he needs anything during the procedure. Speakers are located inside the scanner so that the child can hear instructions from the CT staff and they can hear the child respond.
Once the procedure begins, the child will need to remain very still at all times so movement will not adversely affect the quality of the images. At intervals, he will be instructed to hold his breath, if possible, for a few seconds. He will then be told when to breathe. The child should not have to hold his breath for longer than a few seconds, so this should not be uncomfortable. Young children who cannot hold still for the procedure will be given medication to help them relax or sleep during the CT scan.
If the CT scan is being done with and without contrast, the child will receive contrast medication through an I.V. about halfway through the procedure. He may feel warm or flushed just after the dye goes into the vein—this is a normal feeling and it will go away shortly.
Once the procedure is finished, the table will slide out of the scanner. If your child received medication for relaxation or sleep, he will be monitored until the medicinewears off and he is awake again. If an I.V. was inserted, it will be taken out after the procedure is done and the child is awake.
Parents may be asked to wait for a short time while the radiologist reviews the scans to make sure they are clear and complete. If the scans are not sufficient to obtain adequate information, additional scanning may be done.
The test normally takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
Without sedation, the child should be able to resume normal activities immediately, unless the child' ' s doctor instructs you otherwise.
With sedation, the child may feel groggy, tired or sleepy for a period of several hours after the procedure. However, the sedation effects should disappear within a day or so.
Depending on the results of the CT scan, additional tests or procedures may be scheduled, to gather further diagnostic information.

The original Mercury project plan envisioned all of the astronauts making an initial suborbital hop aboard a Redstone booster before making an orbital flight aboard an Atlas. However delays in the program resulted in the Redstone flights coming much closer to the Atlas flights than planned. By the time of the first suborbital Mercury flight, the Russians had already orbited Yuri Gagarin. After Grissom's capsule sunk, it was still planned to fly Glenn on a suborbital flight to prove the capsule. But Gherman Titov was launched on a full-day orbital flight in August 1961, making NASA's suborbital hops look pathetic. Glenn was moved to the first orbital Atlas flight, and further suborbital Mercury flights were cancelled.
First Launch: 1961 Late summer.

COE Home > Education Resources > BOOKS R4 TEENS > > BOOK REVIEW - Bead on an Anthill: A Lakota Childhood
Red Shirt, Delphine. (1999). Bead on an Anthill: A Lakota Childhood. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press. 146 pp.
Grade Range: 10-12
Genre: nonfiction
Summary and Critique
In Bead on an Anthill, Delphine Red Shirt narrates her own experiences and those of her friends and family while living on the Pine Ridge reservation in the 1960s and 1970s. Intermingling the past with the present, her stories show her increasing awareness of the connections and differences between her world and the world of her ancestors. She describes tribal ceremonies, life inside the Pine Ridge Reservation, and events in her childhood.
This easy-to-read memoir, with its vivid images and depictions of Lakota traditions, offers readers a unique insight into a young girl's journey growing up on the Pine Ridge reservation and assimilating herself into contemporary American culture. Students will appreciate this woman's account as she navigates through her childhood, valuing traditions but also learning to accept a world where Lakota is not the native language.
Friends and Enemies
Race, Ethnicity, and Culture
Challenges and Triumphs
The Individual vs. Society
Delphine Red Shirt is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and an advocate for Native American rights. She began writing about Native American culture and traditions in the Indian Country Today newspaper. Bead on an Anthill: A Lakota Childhood is her first work. Her second novel, Turtle Lung Woman's Granddaughter, depicts Lakota women and their use of oral tradition to pass on knowledge.

Teaching Ideas
(1) "Settings and Maps" Students select six to eight important events or places in the character's life. Then they write down a direct quote for each one and explain the significance in a few sentences. Students then create a key with numbers so later they can correlate each event with an area on their map. Students should draw the character's journey on a poster and illustrate each event or place using drawings, paint, or photographs from magazines. Since the main action of Bead on an Anthill is set on or near the reservation, drawing and illustrating a map helps the students place these event together and in chronological order.
[Summarized from "Settings and Maps" by Ray Chaplin in Classroom Notes Plus. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English. October 2003. p. 2.]
(2) "Exploring Cultures through Writing" Begin the activity by telling students how different cultures have different values, goals, and practices. Present specific examples or have students give their own. You can bring in different magazines to help initiate interest and to stimulate conversation. Students should then create a cluster map with the place of focus (i.e. the mall) in the center circle. Related circle/topics could include types of people who go to that place, the values of those people or that place, etc. Students should create as many bubbles as possible before selecting an angle from which they want to write their story. After determining an audience and plot, students can begin writing their short stories.
[Adapted from "Exploring Culture through Writing" by Garth Sundem in Classroom Notes Plus. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English. April 2003, p. 2.]
(3) "The Stories That Make Us Who We Are" Have students brainstorm a list of stories about their families that have been told repeatedly by family members. Perhaps give the students an example about your own family. Students can then jot down notes about the stories or develop paragraphs about several of the stories. Have students share the stories in small groups or with the entire class. Students should reflect on why the stories are meaningful to their families and what the stories say about their culture(s). This activity is a good introductory activity to Bead on an Anthill.
[Adapted from "The Stories That Make Us Who We Are" by Therese M. Willis in Classroom Notes Plus. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English. August 2001, p. 2.]

STUDY: Majority of high school students stoned during candlelight vigils
LIMA, OH - After conducting crowd analysis of a recent candlelight vigil at Lima Senior High School, researchers discovered that a majority of student attendees were stoned. Analysts said that the stoned levels ranged from being being slightly buzzed to majorly baked.
School officials decided to conduct the analysis after seeing an abnormal number of pizza deliveries to recent candlelight vigils. "We thought it was odd," said assistant administrator Jeffrey Kline. "Especially when the Dominos guy was showing up every ten minutes at a candlelight vigil for the victims of childhood hunger. At least now we know they weren't just playing a sick joke, they were just dealing with the munchies."
"I don't think we should be judged for it," said stoned candlelight vigil attendee Marsha Bolinger. "We're still here supporting the cause...whatever the heck that cause is. I forget. But the important thing is how cool those candles look when you're stoned. It's like they're little glowing dancers who are performing just for you. Wow. I need to go write that down."
School officials have decided not to crack down on students who attend candlelight vigils while stoned, but rather embrace it. Upcoming vigils will be open not only to candles, but incense and glow sticks as well.

My Name is Steven Klaassen, started racing pigeons on and off, Since I was
13yrs of age,racing birds in Cairns, North Queensland.
My new objective in the years to come is to focus on one-loft racing and breed a family of birds that will achieve good results in one-loft racing. I've purchased birds from top studs and fanciers around Australia such as,Jack Vanderlinden (Adelaide Premier Lofts Australia) DIRK & LOUIS VAN DYCK'S, also some top quality birds from Phil Turner of(Capricornia Lofts)such as the HARDY KRUGER'S and ANTOON & HILDA REYNAERT'S. My latest Bloodlines I've purchased are AD SCHAERLAECKEN'S and GASTON VAN DE WOUWER'S form, George of Ponderosa lofts & Steve Pradella of Pradella lofts WA. All top quality birds to be use as bloodlines to develop a family of birds of my own, to keep a strain of pure bloodlines or to be used for crossing.
Racing pigeons is a fantastic hobby and it's there for all of us to enjoy whether you like sprint racing, middle distance racing, or the long distance racing. Their is a place for everyone in this Sport/hobby so pick one that you wanna achieve and have a awesome time with it. I also like coloured racing pigeons as you'll see in my picture gallery. To me coloured pigeons make no difference in a racing pigeons performance, it's just a colour. But, they must be raced to what ever level the bird's can handle. I fine that coloured birds are very handy when you are breeding the young's, you can tell the sex of the young's as soon as they are hatched due to the sex linked coloured yellow's, browns and the reduced coloured birds. The Recessive colours are little bit tricky but very handy...
Take a look at "My-Birds".

Samsung revealed on Monday that it will be pushing back the launch date of its Tizen-based Samsung Z phone in Russia.
The company shared the following statement regarding the phone's postponement:
"To further enhance the Tizen ecosystem, Samsung plans to postpone the launch of Samsung Z in Russia. Samsung will continue to actively work with Tizen Association members pursuing to further develop both Tizen OS and the Tizen ecosystem."
Despite Samsung's success as one of the world's most valued smartphone manufacturers, the company has been dependent on Google's Android. This is what makes Tizen so integral to Samsung – because it is its very own operating system. Tizen's success means Samsung can carve out its own niche outside of Android. While the company's Galaxy Gear smartwatches already utilize Tizen, it has yet to make its way onto smartphones.
Earlier this year, NTT Docomo, a Japanese phone network, shunned Tizen. Apparently, the Japanese mobile phone market can't handle all three platforms – Android, iOS, and Tizen.
Originally announced earlier this year in San Francisco, the Samsung Z was supposed to make an appearance at a Tizen developers conference in Russia. Unfortunately, Samsung was only able to present prototypes.
"The smartphone will appear on the Russian market later, when we can offer our users a fullest portfolio of applications," the company said in a statement to the Wall Street Journal. From this, it seems possible that Samsung is feeling uneasy about a possible lack of supporting apps for their new OS.
At this rate, Russia might have to wait until next year for the launch of the smartphone, according to technology analyst Eldar Murtazin.

In Other Blogs…
While this author has been busy traveling and speaking (see the "Tour" schedule here), the birth blogosphere has been putting out some great material worth directing your attention to. First, check out Tina Cassidy's VBAC chronicles. Bostonian and author of Birth: A Surprising History of How We Are Born, Cassidy gave birth to her first baby by unplanned cesarean four years ago. When she became pregnant again last year, she started investigating her options and, like many women, found little support for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) at local hospitals and even birth centers. So she decided to find a midwife and order a birth tub. Read all about her "HBAC" here (start with "Installment #1″ for the full narrative).
New York women, you'll especially be interested in this recent post on the NYC Moms blog about one woman's dissatisfaction with her birth experience at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital. This mom wanted a normal, drug-free labor, as she'd had with her first baby. But, she writes, "I don't judge anyone who has had or wants an epidural now that I have had one for my second child. I understand why people get them. We live in a culture of fear (of pain, consequences, failure) and instant gratification and an era of a disproportionate sense of entitlement. Mostly, however, I blame the environment one labors in." The blog is titled, "Epidurals Are For Tolerating the Hospital, Labor Is The Easy Part."
How would you rate your birth environment? If you gave birth in NYC in the past three years, you can fill out the online Birth Survey. It's a new initiative, in pilot stage, of the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS); the Survey hopes to go national next year and build a database of feedback and ratings on providers and hospitals across the country–think of it as a Zagat's of maternity care. It's part of a larger movement toward "transparency in health care."
Finally, a little gossip: the British celebrity site Fametastic reports that Minnie Driver, due to give birth in late summer, is planning a home water birth.
