I think people ought to behave and follow the rules because it is the right thing to do. If a person needs a reward to do the right thing then there is a problem.
I know my child will be totally stressed out if he ever has to move his face to yellow. He will feel mortified. At home we have not done rewards for following rules or good behavior. Am I totally being unrealistic with disagreeing with this system?
but everything has pros and cons
I agree with others that this type of system is pretty standard in most schools. The way I look at it, in the real world there are rewards for good behavior (a promotion or a raise at work) and consequences for so called bad behavior (getting fired). I have never had a problem with these types of behavior management systems for children. Teachers need to manage a large group of children so they have to use what works.
Sunshine - I'd love some concrete examples of what to do that does not utilize some sort of reward/punishment system. I don't use the flip card things, but I do sometimes withhold recess. Not as a punishment, per se, but a natural consequence - I explain to the class if they choose to play when they have work time, then they will have to work when it's play time. I don't see that as a punishment, but a consequence. I think there is a very fine line, of course.
And having 30+ kids in a classroom is nothing like taking care of kids at home. 30+kids while trying to teach an endless amount of (sometimes non age appropriate) standards, it's natural to default to the quickest/easiest route.
Agreed it's not necessarily the best. I'm always striving to improve personally, but with seniority and tenure such an issue all over, there's not much incentive beyond personal best to change these discipline methods. I mean, the tenured teachers won't lose their job no matter what, so they don't need to change and the non tenured teachers will lose their job no matter how well they're doing. It's very discouraging, both as a teacher and a parent.

Static Checking of Dynamically-Varying Security Policies in Database-Backed Applications
The authors present a system for sound static checking of security policies for database-backed web applications. The tool checks a combination of access control and information flow policies, where the policies vary based on database contents. For instance, one or more database tables may represent an access control matrix, controlling who may read or write which cells of these and other tables. Using symbolic evaluation and automated theorem-proving, the tool checks these policies statically, requiring no program annotations (beyond the policies themselves) and adding no run-time overhead. Specifications come in the form of SQL queries as policies: for instance, an application's confidentiality policy is a fixed set of queries, whose results provide an upper bound on what information may be released to the user.

I noticed that my text doesn't wrap using the twentyeleven theme. The Wrapping Text Around Images Codex says I need certain required code like 'img.alignright {float:right; etc.'
I thought 2011 would already have the wrap function.
I downloaded the 2011 theme zip file and expanded it into my local site files. I found the styles.css file and searched for the required code. It was not there.
I have several questions.
Isn't there a styles.css file already on my wordpress site? I could not find it.
Where do I add the required code in the styles.css file that I downloaded?
Where do I put the updated styles.css code on my wordpress site?
Thank you for your help.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Birmingham police have made an arrest in the 11-year-old case of a man shot to death in the Ensley Highlands.
Authorities have charged 38-year-old Marlo Rogers, of Birmingham, with murder in the shooting death of 24-year-old Damon Montrez Collier.
Authorities say the father of two was shot in the head in the 1600 block of 35th Street Ensley on Nov. 4, 1999. He had worked with a trucking company and was visiting Birmingham when he was shot.
Cold case detective Roy Bristow says he and Det. Jody Jacobs began a renewed investigation in February and police were able to find new witnesses.
Bristow believes the shooting was over a woman.

US News whispers: "Obama to Say Climate Change Bill Will Create Jobs in State of the Union Speech"
Media looking for comments on the speech and on how climate action creates jobs can reach me via email (click here) or quote the post below.
White House advisers spinning the boss's State of the Union message late today are telling lawmakers to expect President Obama to press for passage of controversial climate change legislation because it will create jobs….
Job creation will be the president's top priority. He will play up green jobs with a claim that passing energy and climate legislation""unlikely this year""will create jobs.
Shhh. It's a secret: The climate and clean energy jobs bill … creates jobs. For a discussion of two major 2009 studies see "New analysis shows how clean energy legislation will create 1.7 million jobs and opportunities for low-income families, including lower energy bills").
Oh and the bill would stimulate the economy, according to one Nobel laureate (see Krugman : Climate action "now might actually help the economy recover from its current slump" by giving "businesses a reason to invest in new equipment and facilities"). In fact, Krugman pointed out in November:
Still, should we be starting a project like this when the economy is depressed? Yes, we should "" in fact, this is an especially good time to act, because the prospect of climate-change legislation could spur more investment spending.
Consider, for example, the case of investment in office buildings. Right now, with vacancy rates soaring and rents plunging, there's not much reason to start new buildings. But suppose that a corporation that already owns buildings learns that over the next few years there will be growing incentives to make those buildings more energy-efficient. Then it might well decide to start the retrofitting now, when construction workers are easy to find and material prices are low.
The same logic would apply to many parts of the economy, so that climate change legislation would probably mean more investment over all. And more investment spending is exactly what the economy needs.
Lots of studies find that an aggressive push on clean energy creates jobs (see USGBC jobs finds "Green building to support nearly 8 million U.S. jobs over next 4 years").
Imagine the jobs that could created if we slashed our nearly $1 billion a day outflow of hard-earned dollars to buy foreign oil — and instead took that money and bought home built efficient cars and plug-in-hybrids, plus low-carbon electricity and next-generation biofuels (see EIA: Clean air, clean water, clean energy jobs bill would make America more energy independent, cutting U.S. foreign oil bill $650 billion through 2030, saving $5,600 per household).
And the beauty of a well-designed climate bill is that it pays for itself or can actually reduce the deficit if desired, assuming anybody is actually interested in that.
By the way, it's such a "secret" that comprehensive climate, clean air, and oil-saving legislation creates jobs and helps the economy that even a large fraction of the public knows it, as a recent AP/Stanford poll found:
Do You Think That The U.S. Doing Things To Reduce Global Warming In The Future Would Cause There To Be More/Fewer Jobs For People Around The Country?
More jobs 40%
Fewer jobs 23
Would not affect jobs 33
Do You Think That The U.S. Doing Things To Reduce Global Warming In The Future Would Hurt/Help The U.S. Economy?
Help U.S. economy 46%
Hurt U.S. economy 27
Would not affect economy 24
Shhhhhh. Don't tell the media and the swing Senators, though. Because then the bill wouldn't be "unlikely" anymore.
3 Responses to US News whispers: "Obama to Say Climate Change Bill Will Create Jobs in State of the Union Speech"
"The climate and clean energy jobs bill … creates jobs." The very reason that the GOP are against passage. It pains them to give any success to the left, even if it means hardship to the American people and the Nation.
That and it will cost their handlers, fossil energy producers, money.
I hadn't read the Krugman columns you linked to in this post. He's a bit of a wild card. What struck me was the resonance between what he outlined for corporations – building more buildings because you need them -or- because you'll want to, 1. be more energy efficient / 2. leverage your expenditures.
My personal experience seemed to be in sync with corporate interests. The experience of my neighbors was in sync with corporate interests, at least as outlined by Krugman.
I moved from a hip neighborhood, 98% Dem's, huge diversity of income and age – $1 per day income 16 year olds thrown out of their homes, living on the cheap, sharing terrible bug infested apartments, and $100,000+ per day 30 year old tech millionaires and 80 year old "old money" millionaires in mansions with views of lakes and mountains – to another neighborhood 5 miles away.
I spent 33 years in my old 'hood. It went from 25% black to 5% black in 33 years. Most "people of color" were living next door to me 33 years ago. When I left most "people of color" lived in the horrible apartments that seemed to never change.
I moved to a neighborhood where white people comprised 10% or less of the population, probably much less. I love my new neighbors. They've embraced me and my loved ones.
My neighbors know what "green jobs" are. It's jobs that are bubbling up everywhere here. Who knew?
My white upper middle-class "hip" neighborhood did it because it was a good thing to do. My new neighborhood does it because it's a very good thing, because it's already the best bet.
So well put with such economy of words.

Blood Moon
by Michael Canada
3 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Fun Ride From Start To Finish!
Feb. 28 2004
This review is from:
Blood Moon (Paperback)
It's not easy riffing on familiar horror themes, but in their sequel to "Black Moon", Michael Canada and S.J. Gaither admirably perform with wit and charm.
There's something for everyone in this intriguing adventure...sex, gore, mystery, mayhem.....all told in a first person POV that's very 'reader-friendly' and evenly paced; quirky enough to be different, yet fun enough to be enjoyed by even the most discriminating of horror fans.
Whether you're looking for a scary book to read on a cold, rainy day, or a fun book to read in the park, this is the novel for you. "Midnight" alone, is worth the price of admission!
A true joy to read....I highly recommend it along with the first in the series.
Very much looking forward to more from these two.
Midnight Harvest: From the Chronicles of Saint-Germain

5.0 out of 5 stars
She's Done It Again!!
Sept. 13 2003
This review is from:
Midnight Harvest: From the Chronicles of Saint-Germain (Hardcover)
As a loyal Yarbro/Saint-Germain fan, it's going to be very hard for me to be objective about this book, but I'll do the best I can.
Allow me to begin by saying: She's done it again!
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro succeeds where many authors fail: Continuing to hold our interest in a character for over 20 years, without any of the bells and whistles that accompany other, more 'traditional' vampire novels, all without compromising the character's dignity and honor.
Set in the 1930's, on the heels of the time period the very popular "Tempting Fate" takes place in, it's obvious from the get go that we're in for quite a ride (pun intended). While the action throughout the novel isn't exactly break-neck speed, this is a very evenly paced story. Whereas some of the novels have, IMHO, dragged in some spots, I didn't detect any lags here at all.
In a way, this book reminded me of a 'buddy/road trip' type movie. Saint-Germain and Roger (who is referred to in this story as 'Rogerio') are forced to flee Spain and fly to the United States after a brief layover in Ireland.
Once they're in the States, we get to meet some very colorful characters, some likeable, some not and most, personalities that we can all relate to in our every day lives i.e, used car salesmen, lawyers, insurance men, policemen, cab drivers, even carpet installers. All of which, help to make this novel very believable as Roger and Saint-Germain do their best to fit into 20th century America while constantly being on guard against forces wishing to do Saint-Germain harm.
That being said, the Saint-Germain/Roger relationship is of great interest to me and I find myself wondering exactly what it is about these two men that, after 2,000 years, not only keeps them together, but makes for such a fantastic team. Yes, loyalty, devotion, respect, honor, gratitude and brotherly love
all play a part, but I sometimes get a bit frustrated with the 'master/servant' thing. By now we know they're way beyond that. I'd just like to see more of the components of their unique friendship outlined and detailed a bit more while they maintain the decorum they've established.
It was a pleasure revisiting Rowena Saxon, now a bit older and wiser than when Saint-Germain first met her in "Writ in Blood", and I found the character of Cenere fascinating. I wish we could have seen a bit more of him, but his face-off with Saint-Germain is worth the price of admission, alone.
And true followers of the series will recognize many references to past and future events/characters that will play important parts in past novels. Ms. Yarbro does a splendid job of filling in those holes for us while still cleverly foreshadowing events that we already know are going to take place.
My favorite part? Saint-Germain haggling over the price of a used Packard. Great stuff!
And of course, the romance/sexual encounters were top-notch.
All in all, another wonderful read by a gifted and prolific author. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!
An easy five stars from me.
You outdid yourself, Ms. Yarbro. Take a bow.

This review is from:
The Best of Good Living with Jane Asher: Creative Ideas for Your Family and Home (Hardcover)
I thought I'd seen it all in the way of domestic gurus, but that Stewart person has got NOTHING on Ms. Asher.
This lovely book contains simple, elegant recipes, practical yet glamorous gift ideas and creative, fun projects to make with children as well as loads of helpful hints. It was originally intended to accompany Jane's popular BBC television show of the same name, but you don't need to have seen a single episode in order to appreciate the contents. Chock full of colorful pics so delicious looking you'll want to cut them out and eat them, "The Best of Good Living..." is as beautiful as Jane herself!!
This one is a keeper!!

I'm a long time fan of Tracey Gold and was very excited when I learned about this book. I am quite familiar with her battle with Anorexia and have followed her career before and since with interest.
It pains me not to be able to rate this book higher, but in all fairness, I can't. Not only does it read like mediocre fan-fiction, it's not even as interesting. Perhaps it was deliberately written in this particular 'style' because it's aimed at juveniles, but when they said Young Adult, they weren't kidding. I think my 7 year old could get through this thing in one night.
The book is loaded with family photos, which is fine, but how many Halloween pictures do we need to see? It's almost as if the publisher told Tracey to add a few more pics to stretch the book out to get to that 190-something pages. (Which I think is a strong possibility as the typeset is large, there are lots of spaces and much of the contents seems to be 'filler'.)
Something else that bothered me were all of the ringing endorsements. "Diet Coke" and "California Pizza Kitchen" were mentioned over and over like a bad ad campaign.
I also caught a big whiff of Public Relations here. Alot of "what will the magazines say?" stuff. True, Tracey is a star, but did we always need to be reminded of it? I think women battling eating disorders would relate to what Tracey has to say here much better if she had toned down the 'I'm an actress" thing.
I don't mean to sound so harsh, it's just that Tracey has so much to say to women who suffer with eating disorders, I just think it's a pity she didn't say it a bit better here.
The saying is 'less is more', but Tracey Gold has helped to prove that sometimes, less is less.

First Impressions really 'Count'
June 6 2003
This review is from:
Hotel Transylvania (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first in the Yarbro Saint-Germain series and as my header suggests, first impressions really do 'Count'.
After a friend of mine recommended the series to me, I began reading this one first, not really expecting to like it or the series and seriously doubted I'd get hooked.
Boy, was I wrong!
Captivating, engrossing and very romantic, this is the one to start with. Saint-Germain, though IMHO, not really at his best here, is still fascinating and sexy enough to hold the reader's interest. And Madelaine is a throughly enjoyable character.
The ending is a luscious combination of action and romance.
There are other books in the series I like better, but this one will not disappoint. None of Yarbro's books ever could.

Two Words: Bathtub Scene
June 5 2003
This review is from:
Darker Jewels: A Novel of the Count Saint-Germain (Paperback)
I adore Yarbro's sensitive and dark Count Saint-Germain, but found him at his most sensitive and dark in this novel. "Darker Jewels", indeed.
Poignant, erotic and hauntingly beautiful, this novel captures everything there is to love about the Count and more.
As my header already states, two words: bathtub scene.
And look out for a VERY moving scene at the end that helps illustrate just how devoted to his 'master' Roger really is.
You'll enjoy this book. In the words of the Count....
"Believe this".

(Un)blinding them with science!
In a breathless, passionate, yet level-headed 15 part series, YouTube user, paleontologist, ex-Christian, and potential Space Coyote impersonator AronRa presents an uncommonly well-written and presented argument against what he identifies as the 14 "Fundamental Falsehoods of Creationism."

No Intelligence Allowed, indeed.
Ben Stein's Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, a pro-Intelligent Design, anti-evolution polemic, arrived in theaters Friday to overwhelmingly negative reviews and anemic ticket sales. In response to the claims made in the film comes Expelled Exposed, a website which seeks to "show you why this movie is not a documentary at all, but anti-science propaganda aimed at creating the appearance of controversy where there is none."

"Imagine, if you will, a load of horseshit." John Scalzi with everything you need to know about the $27 million Creation Museum.
"In the first room of the Creation Museum tour there's a display of two paleontologists unearthing a raptor skeleton. One of them, a rather avuncular fellow, explains that he and the other paleontologist are both doing the same work, but that they start off from different premises: He starts off from the Bible and the other fellow (who does not get to comment, naturally) starts off from "man's reason," and really, that's the only difference between them: "different starting points, same facts," is the mantra for the first portion of the museum."Don't forget the photo tour.

Well, this settles everything: Kirk Cameron debunks evolution.
The Bible is perfect in all things. The value of pi is three, dammit.
The Earth is Not Moving. From the foreword: "The second [goal] is to establish a real understanding of how the theory which says that the Earth turns on an axis and orbits the sun has triumphed in spite of having no evidence whatsoever to support it." The explanation of why tides can't possibly be due to the Moon's gravity is particularly enlightening. As Wikipedia's page on modern geocentrism points out, General Relativity says that all frames of reference are equally valid, so at least some of these people aren't completely wrong. Will the return of geocentrism be the next step after creationism? When do we get to burn witches again? First link [via].

MASON, Ohio -- NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Aaron Fike and his fiancee were released Tuesday after spending the
weekend in jail on drug charges, Fike's attorney said.
Fike and Cassandra Davidson, both of Cornelius, N.C., were
arrested Saturday in the parking lot of Kings Island amusement park
north of Cincinnati after security officers observed suspicious
activity in Fike's sport utility vehicle and found syringes and a
brown substance believed to be heroin, police said.
Both were charged with drug abuse, a felony, and possession of
drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor. They had their initial court
appearance Tuesday in Mason Municipal Court before Chief Magistrate
Eddie Lawson.
Fike entered a not guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge, and
agreed to undergo drug and alcohol evaluation as a condition of his
release, his attorney, Charlie Rittgers, said.
Trial on the misdemeanor charge was scheduled for Aug. 28, and a
preliminary hearing on the felony charge was set for July 19,
according to the court's Web site, which list the same court dates
for Davidson.
Rittgers said Davidson's parents were arranging for an attorney
to represent her.
Fike drives the No. 1 Toyota Tundra for Red Horse Racing in the
Craftsman Truck Series and ranked eighth in the point standings
this week.

Rogers and Telus are getting things done and have officially released OS 188.8.131.52 for the BlackBerry Torch 9800. Now anyone on AT&T still rocking the stock OS can upgrade and any Canadian users have something new to play around with. Reports are somewhat mixed on this one with some people loving the OS and others not, so if you're up for it give it a go and leave a comment with your findings. Download links from both Rogers and Telus below. As always, use caution when upgrading your device.

Official OS 22.214.171.124 for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 now available from Rogers and Telus
But they don't really wanna hear what's on my mind every time i see an OS update and no OS 6 for Bold 9700... WTF RIM?? Carriers don't have control over this, stop lying.
Seriously? First - the "leak" is an official release; second it's an update for a released phone that already has it. Sooo... .what's the possible connection to 9700 again? (I'm also impatiently waiting to update my wife's 9700 so that I can play with it...)
How is a friggin Iphone 3G still relevant after almost 3 years and my storm 2 is being treated like its obsolete. Beware Torch owners...this too can happen to you lol
The reason the 3G is still relevant for OS releases is because apple is releasing to the lowest common denominator for coding. That would be the equivalent of the Torch releasing with an updated OS 5 instead of OS6. At some point they have to make a clean break in code to move to 6, and if the hardware doesn't support it, you're SOL. I went to a Torch from a 9000. I understood the fact that 128MB of ram isn't going to run a legit OS6 release, period. As far as OS updates for the S2, you just got a leak for 220.127.116.113 the other day:
you are hardly being ignored, and there is no reason to assume you wouldn't get an OS6 on the S2 eventually since it's got the same 256MB as the 9700, and the 528Mhz processor instead of the 624 on the 9700 shouldn't make that much of a difference
Yeah, im upset that we keep seeing videos & leaks, but still no os6 for the 9700! smh
does it got east asian font support? thanks
but rogers got a asian package, and its ligher looks like less space more ram.
Is this just an official release or am I to assume there are changes in this OS from the previous leaks? I'm currently running the leaked .214 and I'm wondering if I should get this or not.
Yes indeed... The leaks are always better than the Official if you ask me.
Downloading... In case I encounter a Torch. but RIM what happened to showing 9700 users some love?? WE ARE GETTING VERY IMPATIENT. Its been two months plus since the first OS 6 vid was shown... and it was on a 9700... SMH
this is great news for 9800 users...what about the 9700 users? you know what...forget it. i give up. it's never going to come out. they've shown so many videos and there isn't even a bloody leak for it. sigh, i'm guessing it won't come out but the 9700 refresh will get it. how lame is that? being promised something only to find out you're not going to get it. i say this even though i know of the list of previous blackberry devices supposedly getting OS6. can't be bothered anymore.
I'm with you there and i hate to say but... its making me tired of coming to this site and seeing other updates but nothing for us... *sighs* oohhh well
WTF IS GOIN HERE! the damn torch is perfect already. leave that device alone! what about us with the 9700?! wheres the OS6 RIM promised us?! they should spend the time they dedicate to makin new OS6 for the torch or the damn 9650 on us instead!!!! you cheap bastards! you could just leak the damn software the 9700's on the videos have you idiots! shaking my damn head! -_-
I told my daughter just the other day, that when a new version of OS6 is finally released to fix the debaucle debut of .141 OS6, AT&T wouldn't put it up! It would be another company first, and YET, it was AT&T that developed the Torch with RIM. Why didn't AT&T put out any update yet to their original bomb of an OS?

Helen Mirren gives street drummers a royal rebuke
Published: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
LONDON - Silence for the queen, please.
A troupe of street drummers got a shock when Helen Mirren, dressed as Queen Elizabeth II, emerged from a London theater to berate them for disrupting her show.
Mirren is starring in "The Audience," a drama about the weekly meetings between the queen and Britain's prime ministers over her 60-year reign.
Mirren told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that she used less-than-royal language in the rant during the intermission of Saturday's performance.
"I'm afraid there were a few 'thespian' words used," Mirren was quoted as saying Monday. "They got a very stern royal ticking off but I have to say they were very sweet and they stopped immediately.
"I felt rotten, but on the other hand they were destroying our performance so something had to be done."
The drummers were marching through London's West End to promote As One in the Park, a gay music festival being held later this month.
"Not much shocks you on the gay scene," parade organizer Mark McKenzie told the Telegraph. "But seeing Helen Mirren dressed as the queen cussing and swearing and making you stop your parade — that's a new one."
Festival spokesman Mark Williams said organizers "are terribly upset if we caused her any distress. If she'd like to let her hair down and attend the festival she'd be more than welcome."

Festivals are fun on many levels. For a small town newspaper, they are something we can have a great deal of fun covering.
There are so many events, and so many people, great photo opportunities lurk around every corner. I tried to get to a lot of them, and had some help from other photographers as well. We could not possibly get to everything, so if we missed your event, we apologize and will try to next year.
We were also able to post a lot of photos online, so we were able to get more pictures out to the public than we could have in the dark ages before the Internet.
The events themselves were well organized and things went well for the most part. In thinking about a public event, the real measure of success is how adversity is handled more than anything else.
Strange things, and accidents are going to happen. There are things even the best organizers have no control over.
One of those things was a horse that got spooked and bucked its rider off during the parade.
Chelsea Easterly was fortunate to not be hurt worse than she was after her horse started bucking and threw her off. Her quick thinking also helped her prevent an injury to her young rider.
She had some bruises but is basically OK, resting up at home, no doubt getting ready for the next parade.
The horse was one that had been in many parades and never done anything like this before.
From what I have heard, a lot of horses in the parade seemed nervous or agitated for some unknown reason. That may have led to her horse getting excited, but there is no way to know for sure.
Chamber Director Shelley Hansel did a good job directing traffic when the incident happened. She helped keep the crowd calm and the way cleared for medical personnel to get to the scene.
At the parade a variety of stories were floating around and it took a little time to find out what really happened.
Event organizers were obviously concerned, and some said they might consider not allowing horses anymore.
Safety is always a good thing to discuss, but banning horses because of one accident seems a bit extreme.
There will always be accidents and things that happen. There is no way to plan for every possible thing that could happen, or to prepare for everything that might happen.
There were a lot of politicians here for the forum and for the parade. I suppose we cannot ban politicians form parades, but thats another column.
Just in case you are keeping score at home. Democratic challenger Paul Davis walked in the parade but didn't make it to the forum. That is his second visit to wellington, and Gov. Sam Brownback has yet to visit us this year.
Page 2 of 2 - Todd Tiahrt and Mike Pompeo were at the forum. Tiahrt bought a Wheat Fest button and walked in the parade. Pompeo had a large contingent in the parade, but I didn't see him in the parade.

LG GX arrives in Korea with a 5.5in 1080p display and 4G
A less powerful LG G2 with faster LTE
KOREAN ELECTRONICS MAKER LG has unveiled the LG GX smartphone, complete with a 5.5in HD 1080p screen and support for 4G LTE.
The LG GX is a less powerful version of the firm's flagship G2 smartphone, although the firm improved its 4G LTE performance. The company has been keen to boast that the LG GX will support 2.6GHz LTE broadband along with Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and HSPA+ connectivity.
LG said, "[The] LG Gx is faster and more robust compared to the existing LTE broadband frequency of use, large amounts of fast video also can be enjoyed without interruption."
Beyond its faster LTE support, the LG GX has a yet unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor with 2GB of RAM, running Google's Android Jelly Bean mobile operating system, although LG hasn't said which version. There's also no word on an update to Android 4.4 Kitkat.
LG has skinned Google's Android mobile operating system with its own custom user interface, which brings a handful of custom applications to the handset. These include Smart Day, which is a custom lock screen, Smart Memo, Media Time and the ability to 'knock' the display to wake up the smartphone.
The LG GX also features a 5.5in IPS HD 1080p display, a 13MP rear-facing camera, a 2.1MP front-facing camera, a 3,140mAh battery and 32GB of internal storage. It will be available in black and white versions, and will ship with an optional Quickwindow case.
LG hasn't said whether the LG GX will see an international release, but the phone will be released soon in Korea. µ

The Organic Research Farm at the Burley-Demeritt and Bartlett-Dudley farm properties is operated by the N.H. Agricultural Experiment Station and College of Life Sciences and Agriculture.
The farm is located in the community of Lee, about seven miles from the university's main campus in Durham. The property consists of 300 acres of which roughly 120 are in woodlands, 140 in crops or forage production and 40 in pastures. In addition to the working land base, the current operation includes a milking Jersey herd, step-up four-stall milking parlor, animal, equipment and storage barns, intensive rotational grazing system, numerous wells for water sampling, manure composting wind rows, staff offices and sample processing space.
The farm is managed as an integrated agro-ecosystem which includes all biological, physical and human related components. As such it offers a platform for research and education across many disciplines. Research priorities are relevant to both organic and conventional farm operations. The included organic dairy operation represents the first of its kind at a land grant university, and is intended to help us explore value-added opportunities for our regional dairy producers.
The Organic Research Farm is a popular destination for field trips by UNH students as well as stakeholder tours. We are developing experiential learning opportunities that utilize the facility, as part of the college's new Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems major.
We welcome your story ideas, letters, photos,
notable events, achievements, obituaries and/or memorium.

Lone Star Said to Extend Fundraising as It Seeks Property Loans
Lone Star Funds, the real estate investment firm run by John Grayken, asked investors for six more months to raise $8 billion for two funds as it seeks to acquire troubled U.S. property loans from banks.
The company sent a letter to investors last week seeking written approval to push its fundraising deadline to May 31 from Nov. 30, two people with knowledge of the matter said. They asked not to be named because the information is private.
Lone Star originally sought to raise $20 billion for its two newest funds, and cut that target in February. Private-equity real estate fundraising has slumped this year as managers move slowly in putting money to work and institutional investors hold back after losses during the housing crash, London-based research firm Preqin Ltd. said in an August report.
"People are terrified of risk right now," Nori Gerardo Lietz, a Partners Group AG consultant on real estate investments, said at a July 28 meeting of the Oregon Investment Council. "If there's anybody who should be able to raise capital, it's Lone Star," she said. "They have never lost any money in any of their funds."
Lone Star's Fund VII will buy pools of residential loans and home mortgages that have been bundled into bonds, as well as property lenders. Lone Star Real Estate Fund II will focus on commercial real estate. Each has a target of raising $4 billion, with a maximum of $5 billion.
Ed Trissel, a spokesman for Dallas-based Lone Star, declined to comment on the extended fundraising deadline.
$9.6 Trillion
There is an estimated $9.6 trillion outstanding of residential mortgage debt in the U.S., of which about $5.2 trillion is securitized in bonds sold by government-sponsored housing-finance companies, about $1.35 trillion is in private mortgage securities and about $3 trillion is on the books of banks and other lenders, according to Deutsche Bank AG research based on data from the Federal Reserve and housing agencies.
About $900 billion of the total debt outstanding is "distressed," defined as loans that are at least 90 days past due, in foreclosure or owned by lenders after being seized, according to the research unit of Barclays Plc.
It's still early in the real estate recovery for buying housing debt, Grayken, Lone Star's founder and chairman, told the Washington State Investment Board during a fundraising presentation in Olympia on Nov. 4. He won a preliminary pledge of $300 million that the full board is scheduled to ratify later this month.
Merrill CDO Deal
Lone Star bought $30.6 billion of collateralized debt obligations from Merrill Lynch & Co. for about 22 cents on the dollar in 2008, one of the first and largest distressed deals of the financial crisis. It also acquired San Diego-based subprime lender Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co., and a mortgage unit of Bear Stearns Cos.
Potential profits in distressed housing debt already have been diminished by declines in yields across markets and too much demand chasing supply. Last year, investors were buying soured home loans at prices that offered about 20 percent annual yields, assuming an additional 15 percent slump in home prices, Philip Seares, a managing director at Citigroup Inc. who runs its trading of the debt, said at a conference last month.
In recent months, available yields have fallen to 9 percent to 12 percent, assuming smaller home-price drops, Seares said.
About $12 billion to $14 billion of distressed home mortgages may trade this year, said Kevin Brungardt, chief executive officer of Charlotte, North Carolina-based RoundPoint Financial Group, which purchases such loans and services them for itself and other buyers. That would be less than 2 percent of Barclays's estimate of $900 billion of distressed debt.
Fewer Than Expected
"There's been significantly more trades in 2010," Brungardt said in a Nov. 5 telephone interview. Still, they have been "significantly less than people were expecting," he said.
Investment banks and large commercial banks led by Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup have stepped up sales of distressed home loans this year, buyers and their advisers said in a panel discussion during the industry conference in Atlanta in October. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which sells assets from failed lenders, represents another source of supply, they said.
Sales of nonperforming home loans about doubled from the fourth quarter of last year, to almost $6 billion in the third quarter, according to data presented during the Oct. 26 panel by Louis Amaya, a co-founder of National Asset Direct Inc. The San Diego-based company is a buyer and broker of the debt and also provides technology and services to other investors.
Many smaller banks "don't have enough capital to sell their nonperforming assets into the market at today's levels," Erik Rand, manager of mortgage finance at St. Louis-based Stifel Financial Corp.'s Stifel Nicolaus unit, said during the October panel. Those banks are holding on to loans that don't fetch the price they need, he said.

Talk:Own Tempo (Ability)
Self-inflicted Confusion
I was just wondering if this ability will prevent a pokemon from becoming confused when it uses Petal Dance (or a variation of it). ^_^ Delspencerdeltorro 18:25, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
If an opposing Pokémon uses Swagger, I assume that a Pokémon with Own Tempo will not get confused; however, will it still receive an attack increase? --- unsigned comment from Tk3141 (talk • contribs)

Woodmans Stoup is situated in the conservation village of Colyford located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This detached Grade II Listed period farmhouse dates from the 17th century, but has origins that possibly date back earlier than this. The property is a traditionally built thatched cottage and has a number of leaded light windows, some of which are shuttered. The property itself has an immense amount of period character with many original features still insitu such as inglenook fireplaces, flagstone floors, exposed beams, timbers and window seats, all of which combine to create a delightful period ambience and an impressive holiday cottage. It has has been decorated and furnished to a high standard, is ideal for families or groups to get together and is decorated with a Christmas theme during the festive season. Colyford sits on the A3052 midway between Lyme Regis and Sidmouth, and one mile from the beach which is located on the World Heritage Coastline known as the Jurassic Coast. The property has gardens and grounds of about ¾ acre which surround the house and lie principally to the south. Worthy of special note is the delightful cobbled courtyard which is created by the house and barns which enclose it on three sides, ideal for al fresco dining. Within the grounds is the linhay barn, an attractive traditionally built building on two storeys which is built principally of stone under a re-thatched roof, making this a great games room. Also within the grounds is a detached cider barn complete with a very rare horse engine and original cider press. Colyford has a popular post office, general store and butcher which proves a great asset to the village. There are two public houses and a restaurant. The coastal resort of Seaton lies approximately 1 mile to the south and has a wide pebble beach, a small harbour at the mouth of the River Axe and direct access to the World Heritage Coast and South West Peninsular Coastal Path.

To the east is the coastal resort of Lyme Regis and to the west are the fishing villages of Beer and Branscombe and the Regency Gothic town of Sidmouth. The county town of Exeter, 23 miles west, provides a comprehensive range of shopping facilities, theatres, and restaurants. Well worth a visit is Seaton Tramway; next to the tramway is the new Seaton Marshes Nature Reserve.

This 300-year-old, granite, thatched Devon longhouse lies detached in a timeless hamlet in the Dartmoor National Park, 3 miles from Moretonhampstead, surrounded by ancient woodland and rolling hills. To the front is a large, south-facing lawned garden with table and chairs - a wonderful place for stargazing at night - enclosed by a sturdy stone wall displaying long-unused bee boles. The property has many original features and a wood-burning stove, but has also been updated for today's lifestyle; it is spacious and is in an ideal location for families and friends to get together for a holiday or a celebration. Moretonhampstead is a friendly, busy, 'gateway-to-Dartmoor' village with shops, good food pubs, church and an outdoor swimming pool; heath-topped and surrounded by hills, it has good walks locally and has reservoir/river fishing close by.

In addition to having many of its own attractions, it is the ideal base to explore some of Britain's most spectacular and beautiful countryside including moorland and the coast. For the active, Moretonhampstead boasts what many find to be a surprising range of sporting facilities and the great expanse of Dartmoor presents any rambler with unlimited options.
