Your little dinosaur explorer can look official with a Dino Dan patch. Have them pick their favorite dino design and iron it on to a T-shirt.
Find the dino detective only on Nick Jr.
Print either the reversed or non-reversed images from the Dino Dan Iron-on Templates depending on the type of your iron-on transfer paper. Print a test on regular paper first to make sure you've chosen the right design for the type of iron-on paper you have. Set the template aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the image--cutting close to the colored edge of the image. Kids can definitely help with this part.
Preheat the iron and fold the towel into thirds on a countertop or other hard surface. To further protect your countertop, you may want to place a magazine or a large book under the towel. To achieve best results, however, don't use an ironing board.
If you printed the reversed image, place the cut-out facedown on the T-shirt, vest, or other piece of clothing. If you printed the non-reversed image, peel off its backing and place the image faceup on the garment. Cover with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper. Iron the Dino Dan image with a firm and steady pressure in a circular motion. Start at one corner and work your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then use the same technique for the other two corners. Finish by moving the iron in a circular motion around the entire area for about 10 to 15 seconds, applying steady pressure.
If you ironed the image facedown, start at one corner and slowly peel the backing away from the garment. If you ironed the image faceup, simply remove the protective sheet.
Print the non-reversed image onto a sheet of fabric transfer paper. Carefully set the printable aside and allow it to dry for at least 10 minutes. When it's dry, your child can cut out the image, peel away the backing, and apply it directly to the garment using fabric glue.

When you set out to light a roaring fire this winter, it may be an expensive and inefficient endeavor. Traditional fireplaces are an energy loser as a primary heat source since they tend to pull heated air out of the house and up the chimney.A fireplace sends most of the heat in your house straight up the chimney resulting in nearly 25,000 cubic feet of air per hour to be released to the outside. There are many ways that you can minimize energy loss around your fireplace this winter:
- Caulk around the hearth. Plug and seal the chimney flues of fireplaces you never use.
- Reduce heat loss by opening dampers in the bottom of the firebox. Check the seal on the flue damper and make it as snug as possible.
- Use grates made of C-shaped metal tubes to draw cool room air into the fireplace and circulate warm air back into the room.
- Keep your fireplace's damper closed when not in use. Use a chimney draft guard to stop heat loss.
- Consider a gas fireplace if you are planning to install a new one. Gas fireplaces can be 60% – 70% more efficient than traditional fireplaces.
- Cover the firebox opening with tight-fitting metal or glass doors.
- If you burn wood, use aged firewood for a hotter and cleaner burn.

Francis S. Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, talks about the institutes' global partnerships, innovation strategies, small-business funding, and plans for personalized medicine.
Editor's Note: The following is an excerpted transcript of an interview that took place in June 2011 between Francis S. Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and BioPharm International's Senior Managing Editor Angie Drakulich, in preparation for the Biotechnology Industry Organization's (BIO) annual convention and Partnering for Global Health Forum, which was cosponsored by BioVentures for Global Health. Dr. Collins is noted for his landmark discoveries of disease genes and his leadership of the international Human Genome Project. The full recorded interview can be listened to at BioPharmInternational.com.multimedia/.
Collins: Yes, in figuring out what were the themes that offered the greatest opportunity for progress in term of NIH research, I spent a lot of time speaking with experts, seeking advice, and trying to identify areas that would fit as being exceptional opportunities. Global health clearly emerged as one of them and certainly resonated with my own desires to see advances in medical research benefit not only people in high income countries but also throughout the world.
I do think, scientifically, the arguments are pretty compelling that this is a unique time for assisting that process through NIH research. After all, we're making discoveries about the nature of pathogens that cause infectious diseases, that suggest new ideas about vaccines and therapeutics. And I think we have increasing abilities also to look at noncommunicable diseases in new ways and try to interrupt what otherwise is going to be a cycle in which those cause an increasing amount of morbidity and mortality throughout the world.
When I came to this position in August 2009, I convened almost right away a major gathering of organizations that fund global health research to try to get a better handle on who's doing what and where the gaps might be. And that was quite instructive because there are a lot of players doing a lot of interesting things, and it's not trivial to figure out exactly where the opportunities lie.
There are two projects that have come out of that discussion that are now underway and that ... I think are going to be interesting. One of those is what's called the Medical Education Partnership Initiative [MEPI], which is now funding academic institutions in 12 countries, a total of 30 institutions, to build capacity, both for medical education and for research. We're doing this jointly with [the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief], PEPFAR.
Eric Goosby [the US Global AIDS Coordinator] and I have agreed that this is a shared area of real importance for that part of the world, and the kickoff of the MEPI program occurred in March [2011] in Johannesburg. It was very exciting to see how all of these investigators coming from institutions all over the continent—many of whom have never really been invited to come to the same meeting together and learn from each other—are really now going to be given a chance, with NIH support and support from PEPFAR, to build that kind of capacity.
The old model in which global health research is done by institutions in high-income countries and then sort of offered up to low-income countries has done good things. But in the future, we'd like to see that research capacity built in the countries where the medical needs are great, and I think we have a chance to do that through programs like MEPI.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< The allegation as formula...
|The evidence relied on by... >
|Irving's denial that the ... >>
The evidence relied on by the Defendants for the allegation of breach of an agreement
12.8 Although the Defendants had served written statements accompanied by notices under the Civil Evidence Act, in the result they called no evidence on this part of their plea of justification. They relied on the evidence given by and on behalf of Irving to establish their case.
12.9 In relation to the first issue, namely whether Irving violated an agreement with the Moscow archive, the Defendants' case, elicited from Irving and Millar in cross-examination, can be summarised as follows: Irving was keen to gain access to the diaries because (apart from the money and the kudos) he wanted the material for his biography of Goebbels. It is clear from his diary that on his first visit to Moscow Tarasov, on behalf of the archive, gave him access to the material, to read it and perhaps to copy some pages.
12.10 Irving's diary entry for the following day, 10 June 1992, records that he "illicitly borrowed the fiche we had found covering the weeks before the war broke out and took it out of the archives at lunch for copying. Irving recorded that he tucked the envelope with the glass plats into a hiding place before re-entering the archive. At the end of the afternoon, Irving took them to the Sunday Times photographer, who printed copies to be shown to Neil in London. The plates were returned to the archive the following morning. The defendants allege that this amounted to a breach of the agreement Irving had made with Tarasov.
12.11 On 11 June 1992, again according to Irving's diary, he removed by the same means two further plates from the archive. These plates were taken by Irving to Munich here they wer left in a safe (whilst Irving travelled to Rome). On his return he took them to London, where they were tested at Pilkington's laboratories. They were taken back to Moscow by a Sunday Times journalist on 2 July 1992 and replaced in the archive on the following day. This, according to the Defendants, constituted a further breach of agreement. Irving conceded that an historian would normally require the agreement of an archive before removing material. Irving had no such agreement. The most that Tarasov had originally agreed was that Irving could read the plates and perhaps copy them. On the second visit Tarasov agreed that Irving might remove two plates but that was in order to copy them. Millar, the Sunday Times journalist who accompanied Irving, acknowledged in evidence that Irving knew that he should not be taking the plates out of the archive and expressed his disapproval to Irving because doing so might jeopardise the chances of continuing access to the plates. Irving agreed that had not obtained permission to take the plates back to England.

Seven Tips For Getting the Most Out of Super Sales
Gilt Groupe's Gilt City warehouse sale opens up this Friday in Manhattan. Tickets are still available for Saturday shopping, though the earliest are already sold out.
Gilt sent over some pricing examples. A men's shirt that was originally $495 will be on sale for $169. Men's cashmere cardigan, once $400, on sale for $149. Women's satin dress (originally $582) will be on sale for $149. Women's rain boots, once $135, are now $29. You get the idea. Lots of deep markdowns, some as much as 90%, in time for holiday shopping. Home and kids items will also be featured.
So how do you navigate big sample sales, which are by definition overwhelming? Here are some tips we've picked up as veteran sample sale shoppers.
1. Show up early. Gilt is selling timed tickets for entry. But you should show up very early to get in line for that, as much as one hour early. Shoppers in the front of the line always do better because they can get a lay of the land.
2. Make a mental map. If you are in line for an hour or so, take that time to peer inside windows. Is home goods the first thing you hit as you enter? Where are the shoes? Where are the women's clothes? Are they organized by sizes or designer names or style of clothes? Watch and pay attention and prioritize.
3. Prioritize. Are you shopping for yourself or for gifts? Which is the most important thing you want to get that day? Each minute you're mulling over an item, someone is snatching up that perfect dress you didn't know you wanted. If you're there for Christmas gifts, head over to Home Goods before sauntering over to Shoes to pick up something nice for yourself.
4. Be decisive. Don't have more than two things you're 'thinking' about. There is almost always something else that's discounted that will catch your eye. And in warehouse sales, people often pick up more things that they can carry. So decide that that vase is perfect for your mother-in-law and move on.
5. Dress appropriately. Buying something nice for yourself? Try it on because these prices are always final sale. And the 'dressing room' is often just one curtained off area that's more gym room than Neiman's. Veteran shoppers always wear tights under skirts so you don't have to ever be fully undressed. A body-fitted Spanx top, camisole or slip is also ideal because you will be dressing in front of strangers. (No one's looking at you, though.)
6. Have a Plan B for unwanted gifts. Like we said, sample and warehouse sales are always final. So if your husband decides he's not so into that cardigan you just picked up, have a cousin or friend in mind who might like it. Or, there's always eBay.
7. And lastly, keep a running budget in mind. We always overspend. So have the ideal budget in mind and the 'I'll eat beans for a week' budget in mind, because there will always be that one thing you didn't expect to find and that other thing you will hate to leave behind even if it means feeding the cats just once a day for a week.

The 15th season of the Alpenglow Chamber Music Festival starts Sunday. New this year, five guest musicians join, including a vocalist.Japanese pianist Rieko Aizawa, a Steinway artist who has been with festival since its inception, and 8-year festival veteran and Grammy-nominated violinist Jesse Mills return as artistic directors for a second year. Both are graduates of the Juilliard School and both play solo and orchestral engagements throughout the United States. "This year we will be introducing a double-bassist and a soprano to our audience for the first time," Aizawa said. "More variety of instrumentation allows us to have a bigger palette of musical colors."For the Sept. 11 concert, the festival presents Schubert's "Trout" quintet, which includes the double bass. "This giant version of the cello ... has a very unique singing voice," Aizawa said. "You'll be able to hear its distinctive warm tone very closely, especially in a duo for cello and bass, written by John Harbison." Principal bassist Zachary Cohen of the Milwaukee Symphony joins for this piece.Bringing in a vocalist was something of a radical decision, but this year soprano Ilana Davidson joins in the Sept. 14 concert for "Shepherd and the Rock" by Schubert and a "an exotic and fun piece" by Villa-Lobos that utilizes his native Brazilian folk melodies and rhythms. "Ilana Davidson has an incredibly pure voice, and she moves the hearts of audiences all over the world," Aizawa said.Chicago Symphony cellist Brant Taylor and violist Masumi Rostad from the Pacifica Quartet also join the 2012 Alpenglow Chamber Music Festival, with clarinetist Igor Begelman returning for the grand finale on Sept. 14, "Quartet for the End of Time" by Olivier Messiaen."I believe we can make Alpenglow into a most special and unique musical place, attracting enthusiastic audiences and musicians from all over," Aizawa said. "Music is one way we can all appreciate the beauty of humanity."The Alpenglow Chamber Music Festival performances consist of two public concerts at Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church in Dillon and two soires in private homes.

MANTECA - Freezing conditions made it difficult for firefighters to combat a blaze that started as an apparent warming fire in the garage of a vacant Manteca home, authorities said.
The fire was reported about 3:45 a.m. Monday in the 600 block of Virginia Avenue in Manteca, fire officials said. Crews arrived to find thick, black smoke coming from the rear of a detached garage behind an unoccupied single-story home.
Firefighters brought the fire under control within 20 minutes and searched the property for transients who were known to sleep at the vacant home, authorities said. Once the fire was extinguished, salvage and overhaul operations were performed, but the search for hot spots was challenging, because any water applied to the fire froze on the ground within minutes, making it difficult to move fire hoses and equipment, officials said.
No one was injured in the fire, authorities said. Damage to the home was estimated at $25,000, officials said.

text: Thought I'd toss this out here, see what you all thought. I'm toying with telling my longer narrative in first-person, but I'm trying both to see how it goes. Be interested to hear which tells the story better, in your opinions. Short section follows in both first- and third-person. Not really anything but a test, so these samples aren't anything to base the actual story off of. Thoughts? Suggestions? --- Galen Winter had been up for days, so long that he'd lost count. He may have caught a snooze here or there while riding, the steady gait of his horse working with his body like a hypnotic effect, but he hadn't had real sleep since he'd left town in a rush. He stifled yet another yawn, eyes bleary and raw. Galen knew he'd have to stop soon, even if only for a few hours. Hard to hunt in a sorry state like this, he thought. Won't do me a lick of good to catch it and not even be able to aim straight. Galen focused, searching the flat plain for a good place to hole up for the night. He spotted a small stand of trees maybe a mile away to the south, huddled together in the rolling grasslands that made up much of southeast Arizona. Probably only three or four of them, little more than tall shrubs, but as good a spot for a camp as any. He pulled the reins towards the trees. "Be good to rest those legs a bit, eh, Jess?" He gave his horse, a tan and white spotted saddle mount, an affectionate pat on the neck. "Right you are, boy; be good for the both of us." Jess' ears flicked, in agreement or annoyance Galen couldn't rightly say, and headed towards the small stand. *** I'd been up for days; so long, truth be told, that I had no rightly idea what day it was. I knew I'd left Bolister on a Sunday, but riding a horse non-stop with little rest will tend to make the hours blur. And right now everything was blurry, even with the late sun still lighting my way. I fought down another yawn, struggled to keep my eyes open. I told myself if I didn't stop soon, I'd have a hell of a time if I actually caught up to the thing. I didn't like listening to that side of me, especially when the hunt was on, but the truth is just that. I needed the rest. There wasn't much to go on, lots of plain and lots of grass, but I did spot a small stand of trees about a mile off to the south. Southeast Arizona doesn't have much in the way of cover, and I couldn't see much else that would do the trick, so I pulled the reins toward the stand. As good a spot as any out here. "Be good to rest those legs a bit, eh, Jess?" I gave Jess a pat on the neck. My horse, a tan and white saddle mount, he wasn't so much a talker, but I knew what he'd say, given the chance. "Right you are, boy; be good for the both of us." His ears flicked, and I couldn't tell right there if he was just annoyed that I was still talkin' to him, or if it was agreement. But he headed towards the small tree stand anyway.

What Does Autism Mean To You? – By Daniel Grieves
Autism Speaks U, an initiative of Autism Speaks that works with college students across the country, recently interviewed students about autism and the results were incredible. It showed that their involvement with Autism Speaks U is critical in spreading awareness on campus and in the community! Watch the video on What is Autism.
From this video, emerged our "What Does Autism Mean To You" series where college students share their perspective on autism. This post is by Daniel Grieves, a Senior at Towson University majoring in Strategic Public Relations under the feed of Mass Communication. Daniel has autism and is involved with the Center for Adults with Autism on campus and serves as a spokesperson for their organization.
I believe that autism is only a barrier. Students on the autism spectrum should not consider this barrier as a wall they cannot break down. They should consider it as something more easily penetrated.
What I mean is that a person with autism can overcome their shortcomings, no matter how large they may be. They are able to use their interests or goals to work beyond their problems and can do very well in certain types of subjects. An autistic student might do better with writing papers, working with computers, or solving math problems than many of his or her peers.
People with autism still need support from people who care about them as well as services that are beneficial for them to achieve these goals. However, this is not easy to do especially with how most mass media forms treat the concept of autism and the fact that many people do not have a good understanding of what autism really is. By increasing awareness of what people on the spectrum are really like and what they are capable of, we can truly join together to take down that "barrier" that emotionally divides us people who have autism from people who don't.
My advice for autistic students of all ages: Do not let your autism get the best of you. You can live your dreams as long as people are willing to help you get through and you try hard on all of your studies. If you think you will fail because of your autism, chances are you will fail. However, if you believe in succeeding and rising above your autism, you will have a better life.
Just remember my personal slogan: autism is only a disability if you make it a disability.
Happy Holidays!

Daniel, great job! It was such a joy getting to know you at the Wellness Center and I miss you and the other guys and girls dearly. Great job again! Gabby

Well said. My daughter could read before she could talk. Shortcomings can be a blessing in disguise most times. It may take us 30 minutes to walk the one block to school, but I know what every flower on that block smells like. How many parents can say that?

Artist and author Janet Hayward Burnham brings her acrylic and pen and ink works to the Gifford Medical Center art gallery from May 28 through June 25.
Burnham, now of Bethel, was born in Indiana, but never lived there. She went on to live in nine other states, attending 14 schools from kindergarten through college.
Burnham came to Vermont in 1968 with her husband and four children. They bought a farm in the Champlain Valley in Orwell, where Burnham taught art for a number of years and also wrote for Vermont Life.
Burnham was 42 when she graduated with a bachelor's in fine arts from Castleton State College in 1979. " … my two teenaged daughters – seated in the crowd – made me grin when they cheered as my name was called out at the graduation ceremonies," Burnham recalls.
Art was Burnham's first love.
"I think I've loved the art of making art since I picked up my first crayon," she says. "Art was always my favorite class, bar none … even better than recess."
She added the written word to her list of loves, and talents, in college.
Castleton was Burnham's third college. Earlier at Columbia University in New York City in the late 1950s, while married and pregnant, an English professor first brought to light Burnham's talent. He tasked the class with a first writing assignment. "When he passed the papers back two weeks later, he said we had all done fairly well, but there was one that was so outstanding, he was going to read it to the class. When he began reading, I was absolutely dumbfounded. It was mine. In all those schools I had attended – and some were excellent private schools – nobody ever told me I had a gift for working with words," Burnham recalls.
"I now had two creative loves – art and the art of words."
A poetry book Burnham wrote and illustrated, "A Week Ago Cat," is the combination of those two loves.
Her show features illustrations and poems from the children's book as well as other more adult pieces, and the book will be for sale in Gifford's Gift Shop.
In addition to her book of poems, Burnham has been published in Yankee, Grit, The Boston Globe, The New York Daily News, Country Journal, Instructor, The Rutland Business Journal, The Herald of Randolph, and Woman's World. She also penned two novels published in the United Kingdom that went on to editions in Sweden, Norway and the United States.
More recently, she helped research and was the lone writer of a book for The Bethel Historical Society titled "Vermont's Elusive Architect George H. Guernsey."
See Burnham's unique art in the Gifford Galley. The show is free and open to the public. The Gifford Gallery is just inside the main entrance of the Randolph hospital at 44 S. Main St. Call Gifford at (802) 728-2324 for more information.

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx spent time together during Super Bowl weekend, according to the New York Post.
The paper said Holmes, 35, and Foxx, 46, have been seeing each other since last summer and recently spent time together at his mansion in California. But they want to keep their relationship private out of respect for her ex-husband Tom Cruise, sources reportedly said.
Too late.
One source said, "Katie flew private to California to stay with Jamie at his home around the Grammys (which took place Jan. 26).
"Foxx's beautiful daughter Corinne was his date for the Grammys. But he and Holmes also spent time together during Super Bowl weekend, although they attended the game separately," the insider said.
The source said the actors are treading lightly because Foxx and Cruise are friends. The two appeared together in 2004's "Collateral." Cruise and Holmes split in July 2012 after fewer than six years of marriage.
Holmes and Foxx were first linked after being spotted dancing together at Ron Perelman's Apollo in the Hamptons gala last August. Both denied rumors of a romance, which didn't make sense because -- as we all know -- celebrities who dance together are always in relationships.
Foxx said last summer "(The rumors) are 100 percent not true. In fact, it's quite hilarious because we simply danced at a charity event along with a lot of other people."
Of course.
Foxx also joked to ABC News "I had Colin Powell onstage dancing (too), so they could have said me and Colin Powell were dating," and called the rumors about bout Holmes "absurd."
This just in: Jamie Foxx is dating Katie Holmes AND Colin Powell.
The Post said the couple also met in Miami over the New Year's holiday -- Foxx and Holmes, not Foxx and Powell.
Holmes' rep denied the story, saying her trip to California was to meet a director about a new movie project. Foxx's rep declined comment.

Watch Your Gun Speed
Blue-winged teal buzzing the decoys and a mallard circling overhead are obviously moving at two very different speeds. Being able to adjust the speed of your gun to the target is another essential skill Hetrick stresses to his students.
"Much like trying to take a picture of a duck in flight, you have to keep the camera moving at the same speed as the bird to keep it in focus," he says. "We fail to realize the importance of keeping your gun moving at the same speed as the target and, far more important, getting the exact lead."
Going to the range and focusing on these three fundamentals—visualizing the target, following through the shot and gun speed—will provide the essential skills need to consistently shoot well. Hetrick says that although 60 percent of his students are waterfowl hunters, there isn't a specific sporting clays target he focuses on with students.
"There are so many different shots waterfowl hunters face in the field, it's hard to mimic them on the range," Hetrick says. "It's better to diversify your shots, and once you get that target focus and establish the basic fundamentals, your instincts will do the rest."

Labor groups won a resounding victory by defeating Proposition 32, a measure that would have altered California's political landscape had it succeeded.
Union leaders had a message for the outside groups who poured millions of dollars into Proposition 32, which would have curbed their ability to collect political cash.
"You can't buy California," Dean Vogel, president of the California Teachers Association told a crowd of volunteers at their Sacramento victory party Tuesday night. "We're not for sale!"
Fifty-six percent of voters -- about 5 million people -- chose to defeat the measure, according to a near-final vote tally Wednesday.
Proposition 32 won support among voters in conservative inland counties but lost badly in the Bay Area and Los Angeles County, where labor groups had mobilized union workers to defeat it.
Proponents hoped to win over Californian voters Tuesday by appealing to their hostility to special-interest groups in Sacramento. And they had $50 million -- largely from wealthy Palo Alto GOP activist Charles Munger Jr, but also an $11 million donation from a shadowy Arizona group that became entangled with the state's Supreme Court over where it got its money.
Ultimately, that money was traced back to two outside groups with ties to the billionaire oil tycoon brothers, David and Charles Koch, as well as to Karl Rove, the former top strategist to former President George W. Bush, whose web of super PACS and non-profit groups spread hundreds of millions of dollars in campaigns across the nation.
But labor had its own muscle: $60 million and its cadre of volunteers who whipped up a big turnout.
"We have a message for the Koch brothers," said Art Pulaski, treasurer secretary for the California Federation of Labor. "We have your number. We will follow you everywhere. We will no longer let you attack people of labor."
The authors of the measure had failed twice before with so-called paycheck protection ballot measures, which explicitly went after labor's ability to collect their members' dues for political purposes.
The new tack was to dress it up with the veneer of poll-tested government reform by adding corporations as a target.
On paper, the measure treated all influential groups equally: It prohibited corporations and unions from contributing directly to candidates, a big blow to those who use personal contact with legislators to move their political agendas.
It also would have shut down the ability of both unions and corporations to collect dues from their members or employees, to be used for political purposes, without their explicit approval.
But labor groups draw their political money from 2.5 million members, while corporations draw from their treasury or executives.
And while the measure would have choked off labor's ability to collect political money, corporations would have had the same resources, only shifted into independent expenditure or ballot measure campaigns to a greater degree than they spend now.
The true effect of the measure, as critics and fact checkers made clear throughout the campaign, would have been to eviscerate the political clout of unions, while leaving the playing field wide open to wealthy individuals and corporate offshoots such as limited liability companies, who would be able to continue to contribute unfettered.

A friend of mine works for a big, I mean BIG, nonprofit. They have a Twitter account and a Facebook page. She asked me my opinion on the right frequency for posting to their social network streams. My answer to her was "never".
I hear this question a lot. The answer is, "Post in whatever frequency your social graph demands." It's an easy answer, actually, but rarely the answer the asker is looking for. There is no fire code capacity beyond which will ban you for life from the social nightclub. There is only what is right for your unique mix of followers. If you're answering questions, curating content, and starting discussions, you could conceivably post more than 100 times a day. See NPR's Senior Strategist and one man tweet flood, @acarvin. On the other hand, the KISSmetrics Marketing Blog recently released an infographic on best practices for timing and frequency in Twitter and Facebook that suggests we should post to Facebook 0.5 times a day.
My friend's company does not participate in online conversations. (Clarification update: It's not that they have an official no-participation policy, but responses are purposefully extremely rare.) That means that they do not respond to social media nor mentions in the press. Linking to or mentioning any entity or article online is out too, since it might be considered an endorsement. Participation in social media is a time and manpower commitment, and they do not want to spend time responding when they could be messaging.
Their current view of their Twitter and Facebook presence is one of broadcast messaging only. No conversations, no openness, no insight, just announcements.
Well, that's hardly 'social' media at all! The purpose of having a social media presence should be to build 2-way, give and take, social relationships with your audience/customers/contributors that aren't possible through traditional broadcast media.
To that end, I'd argue that participation and responding to their constituents via social media IS (or should be) a big part of their messaging. It shows they care about the individual contributor, they're accessible, they're listening, and that they're an organization made of real people.
When I follow, friend, or add you to my social graph, I am inviting you into a mutually beneficial relationship. As a member of my social graph,
- I expect value from your posts I can't get elsewhere.
- I expect there to be humanity and authenticity behind your posts.
- I expect responsiveness. (think minutes and hours)
- I expect your social media presence to be merely the technical vessel for communication with a real person I can engage with, and get closer to.
Make good on these expectations, and I'll reward you with loyalty and by spreading your good reputation throughout my graph.
Why the right answer for when her nonprofit should post is "never".
It's obvious that her company isn't looking to make good on any of those social expectations. Their no-response PR practice calls them out as a bad friend, unworthy of social engagement. For them, it's better to not have a social presence at all rather than having one that doesn't even try to live up to to the expectations of the members of their social network. It might, in fact, be harmful to appear to have a social presence but be unresponsive when a constituent invites them to a conversation.
It's a trite analogy, but what good is a having a phone number if you never intend on answering the phone? (Other than my case in which I need to have a phone number I don't answer to have a data plan for my iPhone.)

FFDshow has been a stable, clean, and *fast* codec library for many years. No tricks. No adverts. Just *great* codecs.
The best small one-off codec pack that I've been using more than 10 years!
FFDShow is an amazing pack and I recommend it to anyone willing to put an end to codec hell: Klite, CCCP, Xiph ORG Open Codecs and similar monstrous packs. It revived my Winamp. Now my Winamp plays everything with this fresh library instead of its outdated built-in codecs. It's a blessing. Winamp now is all I need. Life is getting simple and easy for me. It only took me a day to learn about codecs, splitters, merits, formats and libraries, then I adjusted this FFDShow pack to play everything played on my PC. Now the sound is clear and any video just plays. Remember to use ffmpeg or some other deinterlacing after first running the FFDShow with any video. Otherwise you'll see ugly lines all over the video, especially when it's fast action.
My compliments to those who give their time and energies to developing this project. I have used these for about a year and a half. Prior to that, I had no idea how to configure anything inside the players i used. I like the capacity to fine tune the output/ picture of a vid or movie as well as managing aspects of audio. I have lots of very old movies in all formats - that need i to adjust (as much as possible)to be able to see and hear them well. I wish I knew enough to be able to help with this project ,but i am just learning how to use the tools. I have never posted anything nor asked for support, so have no idea what had been going on with the project. I only saw there was no development on it for a long time. this is the first thing i saw anything at all happening since i began to use ffdshow after 3/13. I forgot to note that ffdshow is the codec i use for all my video/movie watching. I use MPC-BE svn in 32bit with madVr87.10 currently. I own, bought that is PowerDVD13 ultra but dont use it anymore, not since I found out how to use Ffdshow and MPC-HC, then MPC-BE. I use the MPC-BE x64. I installed ffdshow to use in be but use LAV splitter and I have no trouble playing all kinds of video formats from avi to wmv and all the letters in between
Decodes nearly all video and audio formats with optional built-in processing filters, which can be dynamically, reliably added and removed. Configuration of the processing chain is straightforward in the GUI. Ffdshow is almost a self-contained player that is missing only container splitters and transport controls.

Want to update your look and not sure where to start? Follow these five tips from Men's Style Pro blogger Sabir Peele, who lives in Philadelphia and was selected by Esquire Magazine in 2010 as one of the five "Best Dressed Real Men in America."
1. Figure out what you like.
Patterns? Solids? Jeans or khakis? Peele suggests identifying what you find comfortable, both in menswear, fabric, and color palette.
2. Choose a designer.
"Even the high-end designers are doing affordable lines, so you get the quality without the price tag," he says. Check out Todd Snyder's recent collaboration with Champion.
3. Invest in a tailor.
"Guys often think tailors are the people who make suits but all you have to do is go to your local drycleaner," Peele says. "A good hem or tuck is critical to a clean look."
4. Find a style you admire and replicate it.
It could be a stranger on the street, a model in a magazine, or one of many celebrities embracing style, from LeBron James to Justin Timberlake. "It's cool to be into style now," he says. "Those NBA stars are always at Fashion Week."
5. Realize everything's not for everybody. "Just because it's out there doesn't mean you have to wear it," Peele says. Not into the neons popular this spring? Hate the sockless loafer trend? Don't do it.

Google's Nest to Start Selling Smoke Detectors Again
Nest Labs, which makes Internet-connected gadgets for the home, said it will start selling its Nest Protect smoke detectors again after having recalled more than 400,000 of the devices earlier this year.
"We'll be bringing Nest Protect back on the market in a few weeks," said Kate Brinks, a spokeswoman for Nest, which Google acquired this year for $3.2 billion. She declined to be more specific about when the devices would begin selling again.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission officially announced the recall Wednesday, focusing on a "wave" feature that lets people silence the alarms by waving their arms near the device. Such activity can prevent an alarm from immediately sounding when the "wave" feature is turned on, potentially preventing the device from working during a fire, according to the agency.
Nest has received no reports of incidents, injuries or property damage from problem, the CPSC said. However, the agency said consumers should stop using the product until they have updated its software online and made sure that the "wave" function is set to "off" and grayed out.
Brinks declined to comment on whether the Wave feature will still be an option when the device goes back on sale.
Nest Protect is the second product from the company, which was founded by former Apple designers Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers. The first was a thermostat that can be controlled remotely via the Internet. Nest has been tight-lipped about how many devices it has sold. The recall notice Wednesday disclosed that about 440,000 detectors have been purchased since the product was launched in the U.S. in October.
Nest stopped selling the smoke detectors in early April and advised customers to follow the same guidelines that the CPSC announced Wednesday, according to Brinks. While the CPSC called the announcement a recall, it didn't require customers to return the physical devices to Nest.
"Nothing has changed since our initial announcement last month," she said. "Current customers can continue to use their Nest Protects once the Nest Wave feature has been disabled via software update. Even with the Wave feature disabled, the Nest Protect Alarm will continue to perform its essential safety functions, monitoring for increased levels of smoke and CO."

Sue...incredible....I hope it's OK with you if I post that in it's own thread...it is a MUST see.
Thank you so much for posting it.
I have seen that link posted by Sue before, but it was definitely worth viewing again. I'm not even a fan of opera, but there is something about listening to it that unavoidably evokes emotions that are hard to contain. It's simply amazing . . . . anyone know what happened with that guy? it's an older clip.
Kewl picture Choover. DW is making a photo quilt for DD#3. My job has been to get the pictures for here. Including those with passed on loved ones......It's taking longer then it could have.
4.2 relaxing miles. Some times I like to sing while running...Sorry Ribs...As the distance goes on, it becomes a dance routine.
6 miles again today with beautiful weather for the time of year. Actually nice weather for most ANY time of year.
Several have asked about the forums and running log etc. It would APPEAR that this break in the forums over the next 4-5 days is to improve and upgrade the forum area, but perhaps other features of the site. While no mention is made of the status of the running log, it would seem that maybe during this same period of time that they will make the switch of the running log. It would be worth the while to check on here in the running log area over the next few days to see what happens. Supposedly when THIS log is shut down, the NEW log location will be up and running with all of our history from here being carried over and waiting for us. We will see what transpires.
As Hopeful4ever mentioned, this IS a good time to backup your log......just in case.
Happy running to everyone.

DH is very very tired today... and a wee bit grumpy.

We're all fine Debbie, you are doing well with the cross training I see !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
4 hilly miles outside, barely above the freezing point. Brrrr. I'm not used to this. I think I need a windbreaker or something, cause the cold air just blows right through my layers. My hands are still cold, and that run was almost 2 hours ago.
I was fantasizing about 60F temperatures during my run today...then "Poof" the fantasy suddenly disappeared during a big gust of wind.
I am actually looking forward to running on the treadmill tomorrow. What a wimp. evanflein, you have my deepest respect.
choovie - you look too young to have a 24 yr old.
Hi Boomers,
Poking my head in while a CD burns. 1500 yds this morning, half with the pull buoy.
dg9 I picked up the book you recommended last night. A quick flip through looks good. Thanks.
I hope to see everyone on the other side...
Choover, that pic is adorable!
Deb, the installer was a no show! Nice of someone to call us. Hmph. DH left several messages for our rep before she called back to say he'd been delayed and would be out Tuesday. Can't wait to see it.
Holly, yeah, makes you wonder sometimes, no? When DH said the installer guy said nobody ever preps that well, I thought, yeah, well, you don't have a fussy-butt German perfectionist to deal with on a daily basis... I really expected nothing less than that from him!
Thanks, Enke, it's an acquired ability, really....
Temps are nice but the plows are busy cleaning up streets I guess. Nothing happening on the bike path yet. I'm heading to the treadmill for a nice zippy 4 miler tonight, already looking forward to it. After this past weekend's slow sloggy runs, I feel the need for some speed! (it's all relative of course, nothing like MC would do....)
No real controversy today.
Finally got out late for 4M in 31m.
Better than nothing. For years and years tis was my std running distance. Once a year I'd stretch it out to 5M a few times to prep for a 5M race.

Ever play sports again after a major injury?
My 17 year old daughter is a sophomore in high school and completely tore her ACL, tore her miniscus and chipped some pieces off her knee cap playing indoor field hockey back in early December. Her surgery is set for January 25th with the hope that she will be able to play again in August when training camp opens (she will miss the spring lacrosse season).
Her mother (my ex-wife but we have a very cordial relationship expecially wehn it comes to our daughters) and I differ completely about her playing again. She is 100% against it and I am for it as long as she wants to play. I am afraid if she quits because she is afraid to get hurt again it may start a trend of quitting things when the going gets tough (so to speak).
Anyone here have a major injury and go back and play? Any more injuries cause of it? Did you quit instead out of fear of getting hurt again?

I tore a knee ligament playing soccer. I didn't get surgery and it had to heal on its own. I took it easy for a long time and rehabilitated it. It's never been the same but I would guess that it got to be around 90% and is as good as it's gonna be.
Anyway, I'd advise you and your ex-wife to read this book:

Its very much her decision. She is telling me she cant wait to play...shes telling her mom she might not want to...I'm not that dad who is reliving his lost youth through her. I want her to play only if she wants...I just am afraid if she quits out of fear it may start a trend. I could be totally wrong.

i took a helmet to the face in my second game as starting quarterback. i didn't miss a play, but did ride to the ER in an ambulance afterward with my parents cause i had to get a bunch of stitches. my mother was...less than enthusiastic about football after that so i wouldn't be too upset with your ex. but people come back after torn ACL's and i think your daughter is old enough at this point to make the decision for herself. i mean i don't have kids, but 17 is quite different from say...9.

I twisted my ankle and fucked up my knee getting off a treadmill once. I went home and got fat and had fluid on my knee, but i went back to run again.
I think it should be her choice, but I admire those that go back for 2nds after getting hurt

Whether or not she goes back to play sports make sure you emphasize the importance of physical therapy afterwards. I shattered my knee cap when I was 18, then ditched out on p.t. because I was young, dumb and decided I wasn't going to play college sports anymore. Bad decision. But I went back to therapy later and today my "bad" knee is my best knee. I still snowboard, play basketball, and soccer on it. That was 18 years ago.

I hate to be on some LeVar Burton shit, but just help your daughter understand that sometimes being tough is knowing when to walk away and when to keep going. Let her know that countless athletes get injured all of the time, recover, and go on to continue great careers. The can even excel like crazy, as with Adrian Peterson this year. As long as she has all of the information, the pros and cons, and you and mom aren't pushing anything on her, I'd say your job is done as parents in this matter. She'll make the decision she thinks is best for her. And I don't think walking away from sports necessarily indicates that she'll be prone to quit when the going gets tough. It will just mark a shift in priorities.

Thanks. I plan on her keeping the pt up until they release her or her insurance runs out. And this decision will be hers to be made totally...I am just looking for experiences to show her that it can be done. I have pointed out AP to her many times. I am also starting to think that I am little quick to think this may start a slippery slope to quitting anything else.

best thing you can do is make it as non-traumatic a decision as possible, and be honest with her about your feelings and thoughts
but that's pretty common sense-y

Knee injuries are a real drag. I partially tore a ligiment and miniscus and got a spiraling fracture in my fibula about five years ago. It was a sports injury of sorts...I slipped on a beer-soaked second base in a casual game of kickball. I ignored the injury for a LOT longer than I should have and didn't know the full extent until much later. I walk completely differently than previous. My footballin' days were already done by that point but I know I'd be hesitant to play any contact sport again. Make sure your daughter keeps up on the physical therapy. That stuff is very important. I know that sports are a big part of life for some but that injury will be with her to some extent for the rest of her life, so yeah...basically what Captiv8 said.

My cousin was a great tennis player and fucked up her ankle on a trampoline when she was sixteen or seventeen - surgeries, pins, physical therapy, all that. She didn't ever return to her pre-injury level of play, but she kept at it. More importantly, she loved her doctors and physical therapists and ended up getting a degree and working in sports medicine. She wasn't able to compete at the level she wanted to, but her experience created new ideas about what she envisioned herself doing as an adult. Even though she missed being able to move like she used to, she found a calling that filled some of the void left by not being able to compete at a high level.

Thursday October 7,2010
Augusta, Ga--No question they've become the darlings of high school football in the area. The improbable season of Butler continues with their toughest game to date tomorrow night. Washington County rolls into town and this will be the ultimate litmus test for the Bulldogs.
No matter the outcome Ashley Harden has done an amazing job with Bulter. These kids are firm believers they can win every time they step on the field, and it starts with defense. I don't care who you play when you pitch shutouts in four of five games, you're doing something right.
"Like I tell anybody, every defense is designed to work, every offense is designed to work, but the thing is our kids have bought in to what we're trying to do." said coach Ashley Harden "They believe in the defense, they love the defense and so that makes it that much better."
The Golden Hawks are also pretty solid defensively having given up just 25 points in their last three games while the offense is just finding their rhythm as well.

Jam-wise, there wasn't anything too crazy or out of the box that makes this show stand out in the middle of what was an amazing tour. (...that may be a little overshadowed by the following Fall shows.) It was almost a straight-up greatest hits set. And although there was nothing terribly adventurous about either set, both were tightly executed, and the energy was through the roof. The fellas were really having a great time, and it showed. I'm not going to over-hype it, since I know there are way better go-to '94 shows than this... But I will say that if you do decide to check it out, you'll be hard-pressed to find fault with anything laid down in Minneapolis this warm and breezy June evening.
Note: This show is in circulation, usually labelled "SBD." This is definitely NOT a board recording. If anyone knows if a board exists, please feel free to let me know- would love to hear it!

What the heck do the Lafourche Beachfront Development and Lafourche Parish Council think they are doing — trying to take land from a private owner?
How would you like it if someone were trying to take your property?
Think about that.
Yes, it would be great to have Fourchon Beach back, but not this way.
Taking someone's property this way is totally unjust and unfair.

SAN JOSE -- Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle did not practice Wednesday at HP Pavilion, and his status for Thursday's home game against the Edmonton Oilers is uncertain. A Sharks representative said Boyle, who did not play Tuesday against Anaheim, was still out sick.
But the Sharks' blue line might be bolstered with the addition of Jason Demers, who declared himself ready to play after Wednesday's practice.
"It's really kind of a coaches' decision at this point," said Demers, who suffered a broken wrist in December while playing for Canada at the Spengler Cup in Switzerland.
Demers was part of the power-play unit in Wednesday's practice, and Sharks coach Todd McLellan said he'll see Thursday morning which of his defenseman is healthy and take it from there. About Demers' return, "it could be as early as tomorrow, but if not tomorrow, it'll be coming soon," McLellan said.
If Boyle does not play, it would again leave the Sharks with a fairly young defensive corps. Three of the team's six other defensemen -- Justin Braun, Matt Irwin and Nick Petrecki -- have played in a combined 107 NHL games. Veteran Brent Burns skated in Wednesday's practice but offered no timetable for his return.
Overall, McLellan was pleased with how the defensive unit played Tuesday, but the Sharks, at times, looked ragged bringing the puck out of their own end and mustered just 18 shots for the game. The team worked on breakouts during its short practice.
"We weren't as smooth as we were in a few of the other games in coming out of our zone, but that doesn't fall all on the d-man. That falls on the forwards' positioning as well," McLellan said. "I think that's an area that we can improve on after last game, and it was addressed today."
