Read an Excerpt
On the other side of the room, his younger brother, Michelangelo, turned restlessly in his bed and muttered, "Good--good doggie." He must be dreaming of the puppy Father promised him, Galileo thought. His sister, Virginia, was still a baby and slept in their parents' bedroom.
The weather was cold--it was the middle of February--and the boys' bedroom was chilled. But Galileo was too excited thinking about the next day to notice that his blanket had fallen to one side.
Tomorrow, he said to himself, I will be nine years old. Nine years, that's a long time to have been alive. And tomorrow I begin my studies at the school of Master Borghini. I wonder what that will be like. Will he beat me if I do not know my lessons?
He remembered what his father had said about school the day before. Galileo had asked him, "Why must I go away to school. Father? Why can't you teach me more here at home?"
His father had shaken his head. "There are certain things I can teach well, son, and certain things I can't teach at all. Remember, going to school is a privilege--the privilege of nobility. The sons of poor commoners have to go to work by the time they are your age--there's no school for them. But for you, the son of Vincenzio Galilei, musician atthe Court of Florence, there will be schooling. Be glad you are one who can go to school!"
And Galileo, who loved his father very much and would do anything to please him, clapped his hands and cried, "I am glad, Father, I am!"
Now Galileo began to practice his Latin declensions, conjugations, and grammar rules out loud, so that he would be ready for the next day.
"Canto, I sing; cantos, you sing; cantat, he sings. Sum, I am; fui, I was. Qui, quae, quod, cuius, cuius, cuius, cui, cui--"
"What is all this commotion in here!" His mother's voice hissed sharply as the door was flung open.
"I was just practicing my Latin for tomorrow. Mother."
"Oh, all that nonsense about learning and education! Better your father got some sense into his head and apprenticed you to some rich merchant! But these Galileis with their notions about nobility and learning! Now, be quiet, or you'll wake your brother, and then I'll have a job on my hands. You may be nine years old, young man, but you're not old enough so that I can't give you a good spanking! Now, go to sleep!"
"Yes, Mother." Why did Madam Giulia always have to be shouting at him, he wondered. I'll practice quietly, he decided. Ab, ante, con, in, inter, ob, post, prae ... suddenly the words seemed far, far away. A moment later, Galileo was fast asleep.
In the morning, his father came into the room while he was dressing. Michelangelo was in the kitchen having breakfast.
"Inspection!" cried Vincenzio gaily. "Turn around! Point one--hose and breeches clean. Right! Point two--hair trimmed and combed. Right! Point three--jerkin clean and no wrinkles. Right! Point four--shoes brushed. No, not right!"
He pointed to a large spot of dirt on Galileo's right shoe.
"Sorry, Father." Galileo hastened to wipe at the thick-soled leather shoe with a cloth.
"Remember, you are Galileo Galilei, son of Vincenzio Galilei. We are a noble family. Remember that one of your ancestors was Tomaso Galilei, one of the Twelve Good Men of Florence. There are certain responsibilities that go with noble breeding: cleanliness, learning, good manners."
Galileo had heard this little speech many times in the last few years. But he loved his father very much. For Galileo, Vincenzio represented all that was beautiful and kind and noble in the world. He had taught Galileo the rudiments of Latin and Greek. And from him, Galileo had learned to do one of the things he loved best--to play the lute. After all, when a fellow's father is a music teacher--and good enough to have to make a special trip every week to teach at the Grand Duke's court in Florence!--the least a fellow can do is learn to play music well.
This morning, his father had brought his lute with him into the bedroom. "Well, just to cheer you up before you go to school, I'll teach you a new ballad."
Galileo took up his own lute from the corner and made ready to follow his father's fingering on the strings. One of the middle strings was slightly out of tune. He twisted one of the tuning pegs until the string struck just the right note.
"This is a noble ballad in the French tongue," said Vincenzio. "I will sing it that way first, and then I will translate for you."
L'homme, l'homme, l'homme armé,
L'homme armé, l'homme armé doibt on doubter, doibt on doubter,
On a fait partout crier:
Que chascun se veigne armer
D'un haubregon de fer!
"That's a very fetching tune. It makes me feel like marching. What do the words mean?"
"This ballad is a humorous one, describing how the people feel about knights in armor."
Oh, the man, the man, the man at arms,
He fills us all with dread alarms;
Everywhere, the people wail:
Find, if you would breast the gale,
A good stout coat of mail!
Galileo and Vincenzio played the music over together, and then sang the whole ballad through once. Not a mistake. Vincenzio was very proud of his son.
"Are you two lazy fellows going to spend the whole day in that bedroom? The breakfast is cold. It is almost eight o'clock. That son of yours will be late for his precious lessons, Vincenzio!"
Why does she have to scold so? Galileo felt annoyed with his mother. Her fit of bad temper was nothing new. As far back as he could remember, Galileo had heard his mother's voice raised in shrill argument. She screamed at Vincenzio about the lack of money in the house. She nagged at the children day and night about a thousand different little things.
Why couldn't I have a mother who is kind and pleasant like my father? thought Galileo. But then he suddenly remembered a night a few months before, when he had lain in his bed burning and tossing with fever. His mother had sat beside him all night, not sleeping, soothing and cooling him as best she could. His scolding mother could be a kind and loving angel at the right moments.
Galileo sighed. He and Vincenzio went sheepishly to eat their cold breakfast.
It was time to leave for Signor Borghini's house. Galileo excused himself from the table and went for his woolen coat, a hand-me-down that was almost threadbare. The coat was gone! Galileo ran back to the dining room.
"Something wrong?" asked his father.
"My coat--my coat--it's--it's--"
Michelangelo mocked him: "It's--it's--"
Vincenzio laughed. "Oh, that old thing! I gave that to a beggar yesterday."
"Then I cannot go to school?"
"Look in the corner there."
Galileo turned. Hanging on a hook on the wall was the most beautiful winter cape he had ever seen, made in the Spanish style. The collar was cut square and stood partly erect; its edge was trimmed with soft fur.
"Happy birthday, Galileo!" cried Vincenzio and Madam Giulia and Michelangelo. Even the baby, Virginia, though she could not yet speak, gurgled and clapped her hands to show that she wanted to play the game too.
Vincenzio placed the cloak about Galileo's shoulders. It fitted perfectly. "Well, look at our handsome little nobleman now!"
"I want a birthday present, too!" cried Michelangelo. Vincenzio tried to explain to him that he would get a present when his birthday came, but to no avail. Michelangelo cried and fussed and had to be sent out of the room.
"I must admit Galileo looks elegant," sighed Madam Giulia, "but it's such an expensive coat."
"A present from a nobleman at the Florentine Court. I gave his son a lute lesson or two. Naturally, he was grateful."
"Naturally, I would have been more grateful for a few gold florins for food and better clothing for all of us!"
"Ah, stop nagging, woman!" shouted Vincenzio.
"Why don't you find a more generous patron, then? This one squeezes a florin ten times before it leaves his fingers!"
Galileo was embarrassed by the argument. He tried to change the subject. "What does Mother mean by a patron?" he asked his father.
Vincenzio appeared a little abashed. "Well, a patron is like a--well, like a protector. In these times, painters and musicians and writers look to some wealthy nobleman to support them while they create works of art."
"Just a fancy way of begging!" put in Madam Giulia.
"That is not true! It's just the way of the times, that is all. Otherwise, artists would starve, and there would be no great paintings, no beautiful music, no magnificent statues, no books. You understand, Galileo?"
"Yes, Father, I understand."
"There is no shame connected with patronage, as your mother would have you believe. Well, that's enough of that. Here are your books. Off with you, my boy!"
Galileo, pretending he was a grand duke, with head and nose high in the air, minced past his parents and out the front door. His father roared with laughter, and even his mother couldn't help giggling. For a nine-year-old, their son had a fine sense of humor.
Master Jacopo Borghini was a small dried-up man, upon whose thin and wrinkled face sat immeasurable sadness. He took Galileo's new cloak and gazed at it a moment before he hung it up.
"Noble clothing, eh? Well, I'm more concerned with new ideas in the head than I am with new clothes on the back. Now, tell me: how far have you gone in your Latin?"
For the next thirty minutes, Borghini quizzed Galileo closely on Latin forms and grammar. The Latin went well. Next came Greek. This didn't take as long, because Vincenzio's understanding of Greek had been rather poor.
"Well, we'll have to work on that Greek grammar. Now, how about mathematics?"
"Mathematics? You mean arithmetic? I can add and subtract numbers."
"Do you know Pythagorean number magic?"
Galileo shook his head. He knew about witches and black magic, but number magic--? That was a new kind of magic.
Borghini went to the cupboard and returned with a handful of little white pebbles.
"Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher who lived over two thousand years ago. He loved numbers. For him, the whole universe could be explained by mathematics. He thought numbers could describe beauty, music, and even the acts of gods and men. Your father is a musician, is he not?"
"Yes, Master, and a fine one."
"So I am told. Then you will understand what I mean when I say that Pythagoras invented the first numbered musical scale."
"He must have been a very great man, indeed, to have done that."
Master Jacopo knelt on the floor and motioned Galileo to do the same. Galileo's eyes widened. This was a strange way for a teacher to act! Most of his friends had told hen dreadful stories of their teachers. They all insisted upon strict discipline and were very formal and stiff. Yet this teacher was asking him to sit on the floor to play games! Galileo sat, legs crossed like a Saracen.
'Now, this is the magic," said Borghini. He placed one pebble on the floor.
'What number is that?"
"Now I make a triangle by adding two pebbles. A triangle is a figure with three sides. Observe."
"What number now?"
Master Jacopo added three pebbles. The triangle grew larger.
"That makes six!"
Now the triangle became very large, as four pebbles were added.
"That makes ten!"
"Correct. Now, what were the first three triangles?"
"I remember. One and three and six." Galileo's eyebrows rose in excitement. "But that adds up to ten!"
"That is the magic. Master Galileo. The first three triangles add up to make the fourth one. And each time, we added only one more pebble than the previous time!"
For some reason he could not understand, Galileo thought this was the most wonderful thing he had ever learned! And when Master Jacopo arose, dusted off his hose, pat away the pebbles, and said, "Now for those Greek conjugations," Galileo was reluctant to move.
But when Borghini added, "Perhaps tomorrow will bring another kind of number magic," Galileo leaped to his feet. He was ready to struggle with dull Latin or Greek--as long as there was promise of more Pythagorean games.
Almost a year and a half passed. Galileo came home one day to find the house in an uproar. Everything had been taken off the pantry shelves, and all the closets had been emptied. Clothing was strewn over tables and chairs. In the center of the kitchen, Madam Giulia was packing dishes into a large cask; with the other hand, she fended off little Virginia, who kept getting in her way. Madam Giulia's face was red from exertion, and her breath came in gasps.
"Get away--you pestiferous child--go away and play--a plague on this packing--Michelangelo! Michelangelo!"
Galileo's brother came running in from the bedroom.
"Take your sister out of doors and play with her. Do something, anything, but get her out of my way!"
Michelangelo picked up Virginia. The little girl laughed happily at what she thought was a wonderful game. Michelangelo, laughing and teasing, carried her outside.
"Are we moving away. Mother?" asked Galileo.
"No, of course not, this is a game I'm playing," scolded his mother. Then she looked up and saw the surprise on Galileo's face. "Glory to heaven, didn't you know? Your father again! He forgot to tell you this morning. We're moving to Florence!"
"To Florence!" Galileo's eyes brightened. What an adventure! Florence was the center of Tuscany, where the leading noble family, the Medici, lived in their marble palaces. Florence was the great city, full of wonderful people, wonderful streets, wonderful things! In Florence, there lived famous painters and sculptors. Galileo had heard of one, a man named Leonardo da Vinci. This man had invented huge machines of war and had painted many beautiful pictures. It was said of him that he had made a machine that would enable a man to fly like a bird!
Galileo loved to make little toys that moved of themselves. He made, of sticks and little flat stones, a windmill that moved and really ground little kernels of wheat into flour. He made a sailboat that steered itself across a rain-water puddle. But a machine that had wings and flew like a bird! That was the invention of a great master!
"Well, don't stand there like an idiot! Get a box and begin to pack your things!"
"Why are we going to Florence?" asked Galileo, starting from his dream about Leonardo.
"You know your father teaches music at the court! Now it is to be a full-time position, and no more week-end traveling! The pay isn't much, but at least it will be steady. So, we are moving into a house in Florence. Now, hurry; we leave the first thing in the morning!"
Galileo made ready the little clothing he had and the few possessions that were his very own--his books, his lute, the little windmill that ground wheat, a drawing he had made of the Leaning Tower, and a small bag full of round pebbles. These last had become most precious, for with them he had practiced the number magic of Pythagoras.
"Well, boy, don't just sit there staring into space. Get a move on with your packing!" Galileo's father came into the room. "Are you glad to be going to Florence?"
"Yes, Father. You know, every day, as I crossed over the Arno River to go to school, I used to look up the river to the east and think: there is the great city of Florence, where my father teaches noble lords and ladies to play the lute. Some day, I shall go there myself and see all the great palaces and the noble people. And now we are going, and I shall see them!"
Vincenzio ruffled his son's hair. "Not if you don't hustle with that packing. And when you're through, give your mother a hand, or she'll have our hide!" He winked conspiratorially at Galileo.
At sunrise the next morning, a cart stood before the door. The day promised to be cloudless and warm--a good omen. Galileo awoke to the sound of men's voices.
"I think ten florins is not too high for such a load!"
"Ten florins! Man, what are you thinking of? This isn't the Grand Duke of Tuscany you're moving. We'll give you six!"
Galileo recognized his uncle, Muzio Tedaldi, who had promised to come and help with the moving. The other voice apparently belonged to the wagoner who was to drive them to Florence.
Six! It's hardly worth it!"
"Muzio! Guido! What's all this wrangling?" He heard his father intervene. "Let's settle it for eight florins. Agreed?"
"Too much!" cried Muzio. But the wagoner muttered, "Agreed!" A moment later, the three men were laughing together at a joke Vincenzio had made. How wonderful it was to have a father who could settle disputes so wisely!
Galileo leaped out of bed, awakened Michelangelo, and threw his clothing on in a frenzy. He felt almost delirious with excitement and joy.
The wagon was soon filled with the meager possessions of the Galilei family, and the simple breakfast was quickly eaten. Vincenzio helped Madam Giulia up into the wagon, and then tossed Virginia up to her. He lifted Michelangelo and swung him up beside his mother.
"All present and accounted for? Then off we go!
The wagoner cracked his whip, the horse strained at the harness, and away they went. Galileo sat facing Pisa and waving good-by to his uncle. Soon, Signor Tedaldi was only a little speck, almost hidden by the dust of the road. Galileo turned around.
Out there before them, the road ran eastward all the way to the great, splendid city of Florence. Vincenzio had already taken up his lute and was singing.
L'homme, L'homme, L'homme armé, L'homme armé,
L'homme armé doibt on doubter--
As loudly as he could, Galileo joined in. Their voices rang out over the rumbling of the wheels, as the little wagon rattled along the dusty road to Florence.

Jihadi Times
Asks the author of this article: "Is this a sign of the complete wussification of America that we allow traitors to walk around as if the founding principles of the country were laid out by Benedict Arnold? Or is this a sign of strength that people like Khan are so fringe that no matter how loudly and directly they support our enemies in a time of war, that the likelihood of actual incitement is so small from their words that ignoring them as crackpots really is the best policy?" You decide.
"Good News: First U.S. Based Pro-al Qaeda Magazine Released," from the Jawa Report, April 5:
It's called Jihad Recollections and is a production of Charlotte, NC al Qaeda supporter Samir Khan's self-styled jihad media company, as-Fursan. You can download a PDF version at the links provided by Sammy here.
The magazine is 70 pages of the same kind of garbage that you'd expect from al Qaeda itself, and certainly not from an American living in North Carolina. It seems to be imitating several other jihad magazines, which started with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's Voice of Jihad.
In addition to links to al Qaeda produced videos all within a clear context of support (note to Sammy: many of your links don't work. Better luck embedding them next time) It includes two English feature length articles by al Qaeda's #1 and #2: Four Practical Steps to Expand the Global Jihad, by Osama bin Laden, and Have We Forgotten Who Is America?, by Ayman al-Zawahiri and Nasir al-Fahd.
Another article is a translation of an al-Qaeda produced video extolling the virtues of former operational leader Abu Laith al-Libi.
There's some fairly laughable poetry, articles about getting in shape (do I look fat in this bomb belt?), what appear to be advertisements but are really links to al Qaeda videos and sermons by the likes of American jihad supporter living in exile Anwar al-Awlaki.
Sammy's authors also warn Muslims in the West not to integrate and there is even an article predicting that Islam will one day conquer Rome. Don't worry, the author seems to mention Rome only metaphorically. In fact, by Rome he seems to mean either Saudi Arabia or the United States (Yes, it's that poorly written and is filled with the quotes from Osama bin Laden and an odd assortment of conspiracy theorists.)
The most worrisome articles, though, aren't the two aimed at teaching wanna-be terrorists about the technologies behind EMP and night-vision --- even though we are told that "through war booty, we can expect to see more mujahideen using night vision in their strategies." No, I think the most worrisome article is one entitled Principles of Guerrilla Warfare.
Clearly the point of the magazine is to gain sympathy for al Qaeda, the Taliban, Shabaab, and any other violent Islamist terrorist organizations (except, of course, Shia terrorists who Sammy claims are murtadeen [apostates]).
I'm not sure what allowing the likes of Samir Khan --- and whoever his coauthors are --- to vocally support the enemies of the United States and to incite others during a shooting war to lend support to those enemies [note, though, that while Samir encourages others to go off and fight the kaffir Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan -- reminding Muslims of the personal obligation of jihad -- that he conveniently writes this from an affluent suburban Charlotte home from the comfort of mommy and daddy's basement] says about where our country has gone?
Is this a sign of the complete wussification of America that we allow traitors to walk around as if the founding principles of the country were laid out by Benedict Arnold?
Or is this a sign of strength that people like Khan are so fringe that no matter how loudly and directly they support our enemies in a time of war, that the likelihood of actual incitement is so small from their words that ignoring them as crackpots really is the best policy?
Part of me wants to say the latter, but I'm haunted by images of Americans fighting in Somalia who were convinced that it was their duty to go kill infidels by words just like those found in Samir's magazine.
And also by an old TV interview of a man handing out pro-Cuban propaganda and who appeared to be a quack. Turned out he was a quack. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald. Sometimes quack and dangerous are not mutually exclusive categories.

Yeah Romney got all that money from doing nothing, you know, like giving a 10 minute speech and getting paid $500,000. whoops, that was Bill. I know, he has off shore accounts to accept money. whoops, that was Bill too.
He can't be president because he has made millions. Whoops that is Hillary.

The fact that you keep parroting the same phrase, "And just ho(w) did the ticket of Romney/Ryan work out for you ?, demonstrates what an imperceptive, misunderstanding one-trick-pony that you are.
Could you repeat it just once more for the sake of impact? There may be someone reading these threads that is just as dense as you are and failed to appreciate the message you wished to convey.

Creating a website used to be a pretty scary task, only to be approached by those with an in-depth knowledge of HTML and a creative mind. These days, a number of companies offer online services that help you to easily design and produce your own website, and many will even host it for you, too. Here, we demonstrate the process using Moonfruit.
Before you sign up to a package, consider how you intend to use your website. For a personal website you'll probably need only a basic service that lets you upload text and images. Business websites may have more complicated requirements, however; you might want to offer an online shop, a portfolio of your work or simply a portal for information.
Moonfruit and 1&1 offer templates that make setting up your first site a cinch, alongside hosting packages for businesses. With Moonfruit you can use PayPal to accept payments securely; the same functionality will be added to 1&1's MyBusiness Site later this year. For now, 1&1 offers bolt-on eShops from £4.99 per month.
Here, we'll demonstrate how to set up a website using Moonfruit.
You'll also need to think about ways to attract new visitors and, if you're setting up an e-commerce site, make sure you're able to relay stock levels, product description and delivery times to your customers.
Build a website with Moonfruit
Moonfruit.com is an easy-to-use website builder that's been running for 10 years. Over that time, it's helped users to create and host more than two million sites. As well as hosting your website, Moonfruit provides access to the browser-based web page designer SiteMaker, which is what you'll use to create your site.
Visit moonfruit.com and choose a style and colour for your website. More than 50 designs are available, helpfully split into those suitable for personal or business use. You can also choose a design that has been submitted by another user. Designs can be previewed to the right of the window.
Next, you need to choose a template for your site or opt to start from scratch with a blank canvas. Templates include a selection of pages and ideas about what information should appear on them. As before, these are defined as being aimed at businesses or personal websites; there's also a section for clubs and groups. The templates are flexible and you can add or remove pages as you please. Once you've selected your template, click Next.
You'll now need to choose a sub-domain for your website if you don't have a domain already. This will take the form of companyname.moonfruit.com. If you decide to purchase a domain, visit yoursite.com. Alternatively, Mr Site offers a £9.99 'Dotcom in a Matchbox' that allows you to choose your own website name and own the domain for a year.
You can also add a logo and an informative description of what your site is trying to achieve. Search-engine optimisation (SEO) is important here: try to include keywords that will be picked up when a potential customer performs a search for the products or information you provide. Now click Next.
You'll be asked to create a user name and password before you can access SiteMaker, Moonfruit's browser-based web-design software. You'll also need to agree to the site's terms and conditions before you can proceed.
Which version?
If you simply want to showcase your products or promote your brand, for example, the free version of Moonfruit will suit your needs. But if you want to add the ability to receive secure payments via PayPal or create a large number of pages then you'll need the paid-for service.
Moonfruit provides a 14-day trial of SiteMaker Lite, after which it costs £2.69 per month for 20MB of webspace - choosing an annual subscription reduces this slightly. You can subscribe to this package or opt for even more storage by clicking Pay for my Site Now at the top of the dashboard.
To continue using the free service, click Keep My Site for Free. Note that you will need to update it at least once in every six-month period. If you decide to switch to a subscription model later you can continue using the same design.
>> NEXT PAGE: Getting creative
Creating a website used to be a pretty scary task, only to be approached by those with an in-depth knowledge of HTML and a creative mind. These days, a number of companies offer online services that help you to easily design and produce your own website, and many will even host it for you, too. Here, we demonstrate the process using Moonfruit.
Getting creative
Next, you'll want to customise your site's design and add in some text and images. Your site will go live on the web as soon as you launch it, so you ideally need to upload the text and images as quickly as possible.
Double-click in a text box and you'll be presented with a cursor. If you're using a pre-designed template you'll need to highlight the placeholder text and press delete, then paste or type in your own copy.
The Editor dialog box will pop up every time you add an element to your page. Here, you can adjust the size of the text box and the style of copy within. You'll probably want to use different formats for your main bodycopy and your titles, for instance. Use the Editor's Font tab to change the font style and size; the Style tab, meanwhile, lets you add backgrounds and borders.
To create a link in your text, simply highlight it and select the Links tab in the Editor. Choose which type of link you need - to an email address, web page or an image or video file - and enter the address or browse to the file. Click Apply.
Adding images
Before you can add images to your page, you'll need to upload them to your webspace. Check the resolution of all images that you add to your site - 72 dots per inch (dpi) is ideal; anything larger than 96dpi will take an age to load and deter visitors from returning. Use a photo editor to check the resolution and file size of your images and adjust them if necessary.
Once your images are the correct size, and only if you are sure that you either own the copyright for them or have permission to use them (see Illustration notes, below), click the Upload menu in SiteMaker's top bar. This will open a window displaying the content of your My Files folder, located on your Moonfruit webspace. Click Add Files at the bottom of this window to browse to and select the images to be uploaded from your hard drive. Press the Upload button.
To insert an image, double-click in an image box to open the Editor. Select the Style tab and click Choose image. This will open your My Files folder. Navigate to and select the image you want to insert, then click Use This to add the picture to your website.
Making adjustments
Use the Reposition button on the Editor's Style tab to move the image into place and resize it within the box. The Info tab lets you alter the size of the picture box itself. You can also adjust the border size and image transparency from this tab.
SiteMaker's top menu allows access to a range of customisation options for your website. The Insert menu lets you add or remove pages, text boxes and images, while the Edit menu offers undo, redo, copy, paste and delete functions.
The Design menu lets you change the design of the whole site, from adjusting and adding new colours to your scheme to changing the font of the website.
The People menu lets you invite others to join your site - particularly handy if you're running a forum with members and admins.
Finishing up
Of course, the home page is only the first step. Once you've finished customising this, you'll need to go back and repeat the steps above for all the pages on your site.
An easy way to navigate between pages is to click the page names from the home page (in our design template they were displayed as tabs towards the top of the home page). Alternatively, you can use the Pages menu on the top bar.
When you've personalised each page on your website, click Save in the top menu to preserve your changes. Moonfruit also offers a View my Site option that allows you to see your website as other web users would, so you can identify - and then correct - any errors. From the View my Site option, simply press the Edit My Site button to return to the SiteMaker page editor.
Once your site is complete, you'll need to think about how you can start attracting visitors. An obvious first step is to start telling your friends, family or customers to spread the word.

MILCOM 2016 celebrates the 35th anniversary of the premier international conference for military communications.
MILCOM is the one conference where command, control, and communication challenges are presented and discussed end to end – from research and development through existing solutions to future needs. It offers industry the opportunity to understand the breadth of requirements, the pace of change, and the state of play in a variety of C4I markets serving DoD as well as federal agencies, and multinational entities. Leaders across government, industry, and academia will address their needs, their issues, and their solutions in the rapidly evolving Cyber domain.
Our 2016 theme, Securing Communications at the Speed of Cyber provides the opportunity for engagement in an interactive forum focused on the key, but often competing relationships between speed, security, and cost in this domain.
Join us and be part of this evolving conversation from November 1-3, 2016 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD. In the MILCOM tradition, the conference will feature an outstanding series of technical presentations, discussions, and tutorials, as well as nearly 30,000 square feet of industry exhibits all under one roof. Government organization and exhibits will be expanded this year. It will include more than 300 unclassified and restricted technical presentations, tutorials, and panel discussions led by experts in C4I and cyber issues as well as science and technology developments. A broad array of continuing education credits will once again be available to attendees.

Note: Several faculty in other departments and interdisciplinary programs offer courses that address the arts, culture,and society. Collins, Davenport and Whittier act as advisers for the major and minor.
The Arts and Education Program provides students with an opportunity to examine the role of the arts in fostering personal and cultural development. The objective of the program is to enable students to form and articulate their own critical perspectives based upon an understanding of four fundamental aspects of arts education: 1) the nature of human development, 2) the nature of art and artistic expression, 3) the theory and practice of education, and 4) the experience of artistic expression. This program is not intended to prepare students to teach in the arts; it is designed for students who wish to deepen their understanding of both art and education, while critically exploring the relationship between these two kinds of human experience. The arts and education program offers an interdisciplinary major and minor.
interdisciplinary, 12 courses
AEP 335; two courses from among DAN 325 Movement Analysis: Laban Studies, EDUC 301 Drama in a Development Context, PHIL 230 Aesthetics, or an equivalent theory-based arts course; one course from among EDUC 202 Human Growth and Development, PSY 203 Introduction to Child Psychology and Human Development, PSY 205 Adolescent Psychology; at least four studio electives, three of which must be in one artistic discipline (art, creative writing, dance, music, or theater); two additional education courses from one of the program core or elective groups; and two additional courses on art, culture, and society. Only three 100-level courses may count toward the major. All courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better.

News 12 at 11 o'clock, June 6, 2007
AUGUSTA, Ga.---If you went to the store today to pick up some milk, you were in for some sticker shock.
First it was the gas pumps. Now it's the grocer's shelves. Milk prices are up, and they're expected to increase even more in the months to come.
In May, the average price of a gallon of whole milk in the US was $3.26, up 6.2% from $3.07 a year earlier, according to the Labor Department.
The recent rise in milk prices is affecting everyone, from small dairy companies to you and me...and it looks like it could get worse.
With milk prices escalating, Donald Martin might have to start eating oatmeal instead of boxed cereal. He buys milk about twice a month, but if the price keeps going up, he may have to cut back.
"Inflation is getting kind of high, and in order to afford milk, you can't do it, because the prices keep going up," he said.
Government economists expect the price of milk to reach beyond $6 by September in some places. At the Greg's Gas Plus in North Augusta, it was $3.79 a gallon. Throughout Augusta at various grocery stores, the prices ranged from $3.57 to $6.25.
"Just the cost of everything in general," Donald said. "Supplies, everything is skyrocketed."
But don't blame the dairy farmers. They've been feeling the pain all along. Meet Milton McKie. He's been in the dairy farming business almost all his life.
"For 75 years I've heard 'It's going to get better next year'," Milton told us. "It never has. Don't think it ever will."
McKie and his brothers own McKie Dairy Farm in Edgefield County. They have about 200 cows. They McKies no longer milk the cows themselves--the cows are milked by another dairy producer. Milton says it helps them cut down on their costs, like fuel equipment, and over overhead, but it's still quite costly.
"Tremendous, everything we have to purchase. We raise feed to sell to other dairies," he said. "The heat and high temperature and humidity, the cows don't eat as much, and they're very uncomfortable. They don't produce as much."
That is another factor that can jack up the price: supply and demand. With the supply low now, demand goes up, and so does the price.
"It's a hard life, but it's a good life," Milton said. "I was born into it, so (I've) been there ever since."
Milk producers do not set the price. Milk prices are dictated by the Federal Milk Marketing Order. It assures dairy farmers a reasonable price for their milk throughout the year and it assures consumers of an adequate supply of milk. The organization also helps prevent wild fluctuations in price through periods of heavy and light milk production.
Here's a quick look at some local milk prices at time of writing:
Walmart in Evans: $6.25
Kroger in Augusta: about $4.00 (generic)
Publix in North Augusta: $3.89 (generic)
Greg's Gas Plus in North Augusta: $3.79 (Coburg)
Food Lion in Augusta: $3.57

BANGALORE: RA Mashelkar met Shiladitya Sengupta when he went to Harvard University in 2007 as a visiting professor. Young, ambitious and idealistic, Sengupta had set up his lab for nanomedicine at Harvard with multiple goals, one of which was to find ways of making healthcare affordable.
Mashelkar, now a National Research Professor, had similar aims and he immediately took a liking to this fiercely-nonconformist researcher. In his lab, Sengupta had gathered a set of students with a comparable bend of mind, who wanted to move back to India and use science for development.

Schizophrenia Health Center
Schizophrenia Not Linked to Prenatal Exposure to Influenza
No association was found between schizophrenia risk and prevalence of influenza three, four, or five months prior to birth, during any month prior to birth, or during the month of birth. "[O]ur study does not support the hypothesis that in utero [in the womb] exposure to influenza or other common infections may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia", writes Westergaard.
"I think this is an excellent paper. The investigators use the Danish Registry Data which has been developed over decades which is just now bearing fruit for schizophrenia research", Ezra Susser, MD, DrPH, tells WebMD. "They looked at things rarely examined in schizophrenia research: birth order, sibship size, space between siblings. As far as the small interval between siblings, you can't make too much of the findings yet but they're really intriguing."
"They tested the influenza hypothesis in a much better way than previous studies," he says. Susser, the head of the Epidemiology of Brain Disorders program at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, was not associated with the Westergaard research.
Other experts aren't so sure. "This study casts further doubt that influenza is an important infection in causing later cases of schizophrenia. However, I take serious exception to the conclusion that in utero infections are not important," E. Fuller Torrey, MD, tells WebMD. "Increasingly research, including our own, has shown that infections both in utero or in early childhood may well play a role in later development of both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder." Torrey, who also is not associated with the study, is from the developmental neurovirology laboratory of the Stanley Research Foundation for Research in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder in Bethesda, MD.
"It's important to stress that there is no database in the world as good as the database they are using, which consists of the entire population of Denmark, to answer the kinds of questions they're asking", says Torrey. "However, the big problem with these influenza studies is that it doesn't tell you whether the mother [of the schizophrenia patient] actually had it or not. You're not going to be able to measure what's going on in utero by measuring the incidence of maternal symptoms or infections in the community." He suggests there may be women who have influenza but do not report it to the medical authorities or perhaps are asymptomatic or only mildly symptomatic.
Torrey adds, "Pregnancy is like a black box. It's conceivable that there's a whole series of things going on, including infections, and we only have the vaguest idea of what's going on. We can only measure the most extreme ends of the spectrum."

Dracula Theme of Good vs. Evil
The vampire Dracula is pretty unambiguously evil. The members of the Crew of Light, the group dedicated to destroying Dracula, are unambiguously good. Sure, each of them makes mistakes—they're only human. But their intentions are always good. In short, Dracula is a classic story of good versus evil.
You know when you start reading the novel which side is going to win (the good guys!), but the question is how great the cost will be. How many of the good guys are going to have to sacrifice themselves in order to conquer the evil Dracula?
Questions About Good vs. Evil
- Do we ever feel sympathy for Dracula? If so, where, and if not, why not?
- Is there ever any doubt in the reader's mind that Dracula will be defeated?
- Renfield is one of the most interesting characters in the novel because he doesn't fit neatly either with the "good guys" or with Dracula. How would you categorize him? Does he switch sides? When and why?
- Why is Renfield in league with Dracula at the beginning?
Chew on This
Because Dracula is clearly a traditional "good versus evil" narrative, readers realize from the beginning that Dracula will be defeated; the suspense is therefore not about whether good will prevail, but about how many will have to sacrifice themselves to bring about the final victory.
Renfield's ambiguous status in the novel helps to complicate what would otherwise be an overly simplistic division of characters into "good" and "evil."

CONCORD -- The high school career of Ygnacio Valley soccer player Jonathan Ayala has been anything but typical.
Most times, a boys soccer player will gradually improve, with better things expected as a junior or senior.
But for the kid they call Tata, greatness was expected from the time that Ayala set foot on the Ygnacio Valley campus. And he delivered.
Ayala scored a school-record 87 goals in his high school career and for scoring 33 this season -- also a school mark -- Ayala was chosen as the Bay Area News Group's East Bay boys soccer Player of the Year.
"He had a lot of potential and had great size when he first arrived," Ygnacio Valley coach Cesar Chavez said. "I knew he was good and with hard work he could be very special."
Hard work wasn't a problem for Ayala in his senior season, as he invested the time to help become the East Bay's best.
"I wish I could explain this feeling," Ayala said. "It always feels good when there is an honor behind it such as this.
"It's something I worked for and it wasn't easy. Preseason fitness, late-night runs and practices where I would stay and work on my shots. I've spent the last four years competing with the best in the East Bay, and it's an honor to say I attended Ygnacio Valley High and I'm proud to say I represented it."
Ayala didn't just score, but he had a great influence on the Warriors program that has become one of the North Coast Section's best in Division II.
In his four years, Ygnacio Valley went 67-16-11, including a 20-win season this season that saw the Warriors advance to the NCS semifinals for a second straight year.
Replacing someone of his caliber will not be easy.
"It will be very hard to replace him," Chavez said. "Not only was he a great soccer player, but was also a great young man. I have coached many great players over the years, but I can tell you that Tata has been the most special player I have ever coached.
"Very hard working and always trying to do what was best for the team. I will miss him a lot and wish him great success in his college career."

Taenia Solium (Pork Tapeworm) Infection and Cysticercosis
Patient Education

- Dipylidium Caninum Infection
- Echinococcosis (Hydatid Disease)

Taenia Solium (Pork Tapeworm) Infection and Cysticercosis
Taenia solium is an intestinal infection with adult tapeworms that follows ingestion of contaminated pork. Cysticercosis is infection with larvae of T. solium, which develops after ingestion of ova excreted in human feces. Adult worms may cause mild GI symptoms or passage of a motile segment in the stool. Cysticercosis is usually asymptomatic unless larvae invade the CNS, resulting in neurocysticercosis, which can cause seizures and various other neurologic signs. Neurocysticercosis may be recognized on brain imaging studies. Fewer than half of patients with neurocysticercosis have adult T. solium in their intestines and thus eggs or proglottids in their stool. Adult worms can be eradicated with praziquantel. Treatment of symptomatic neurocysticercosis is with corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, and, in some situations, albendazole or praziquantel. Surgery may be required.
Presentation, diagnosis, and management of intestinal infection with the adult T. solium tapeworm are similar to those of beef tapeworm infection (see Taenia Saginata (Beef Tapeworm) Infection). However, humans may also act as intermediate hosts for T. solium larvae if they ingest T. solium eggs from human excreta (see Figure: Taenia solium life cycle. ). Or if an adult tapeworm is present in the intestine, gravid proglottids may be passed retrograde from the intestine to the stomach, where oncospheres (immature form of the parasite enclosed in an embryonic envelope) may hatch and migrate to subcutaneous tissue, muscle, viscera, and the CNS.
Adult tapeworms may reside in the small bowel for years. They reach 2 to 7 m in length and produce up to 1000 proglottids; each contains about 50,000 eggs.
Taenia solium life cycle.
Taeniasis and cysticercosis occur worldwide. Cysticercosis is prevalent, and neurocysticercosis is a major cause of seizure disorders in Latin America. Cysticercosis is rare in Muslim countries. Infection in the US is most common among immigrants, but North Americans who have not traveled abroad have been infected by ingesting ova from immigrants harboring adult T. solium.
Symptoms and Signs
Intestinal infection
Viable cysticerci (larval form) in most organs cause minimal or no tissue reaction, but death of the cysts in the CNS can elicit an intense tissue response. Thus, symptoms often do not appear for years after infection. Infection in the brain (cerebral cysticercosis) may result in severe symptoms due to mass effect and inflammation induced by degeneration of cysticerci and release of antigens.
Depending on the location and number of cysticerci, patients may present with seizures, signs of increased intracranial pressure, hydrocephalus, focal neurologic signs, altered mental status, or aseptic meningitis. Cysticerci may also infect the spinal cord, muscles, subcutaneous tissues, and eyes. Substantial secondary immunity develops after larval infection.
Infection with adult T. solium worms can usually be diagnosed by microscopic examination of stool samples and identification of eggs and/or proglottids. However, T. solium eggs are present in ≤ 50% of stool samples from patients with cysticercosis. Cysticercosis is usually diagnosed when CT or MRI is done to evaluate neurologic symptoms. Scans may show solid nodules, cysticerci, calcified cysts, ring-enhancing lesions, or hydrocephalus. The CDC's (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's) immunoblot assay (using a serum specimen) is highly specific and more sensitive than other enzyme immunoassays (particularly when > 2 CNS lesions are present; sensitivity is lower when only a single cyst is present).
Intestinal infection is treated with praziquantel 5 to 10 mg/kg po as a single dose to eliminate adult worms. Praziquantel should be used with caution in patients who also have neurocysticercosis because by killing cysts, praziquantel may trigger an inflammatory response associated with seizures or other symptoms. Alternatively, a single 2-g dose of niclosamide (not available in the US) is given as 4 tablets (500 mg each) that are chewed one at a time and swallowed with a small amount of water. For children, the dose is 50 mg/kg once.
Symptomatic neurocysticercosis is treated with corticosteroids (prednisone 60 mg po once/day or dexamethasone 6 mg po once/day) to reduce inflammation and symptoms and anticonvulsants to prevent seizures.
Anthelmintic treatment of neurocysticercosis is complicated, and consultation with an expert is recommended. Choice of treatment depends on the location, number, and stage of cysticerci, and clinical manifestations. Not all patients respond to treatment, and not all patients must be treated (cysts may already be dead and calcified, or the inflammatory response to treatment may be worse than the disease). When anthelmintic treatment is used, albendazole 400 mg po bid for 8 to 30 days is the drug of choice; praziquantel 33.3 mg/kg po tid on day 1 followed by 16.6 mg/kg po tid for 29 days is an alternative. Either prednisone or dexamethasone is given concurrently with the anthelminthic to reduce the inflammation that occurs in response to dying cysts in the brain. Neither albendazole nor praziquantel should be used in patients with ocular or spinal cord cysticerci.
Surgery may be necessary for obstructive hydrocephalus (due to intraventricular cysticerci), infection of the 4th ventricle, or spinal or ocular cysticercosis.
Key Points
Ingestion of T. solium cysts may cause intestinal infection; ingestion of eggs may result in tissue cysts (cysticercosis), which are particularly problematic when in the brain.
Patients with neurocysticercosis may have seizures, signs of increased intracranial pressure, altered mental status, focal neurologic signs, or aseptic meningitis.
Diagnose infection with adult worms by microscopic examination of stool.
Diagnose neurocysticercosis by neuroimaging and serologic testing.
Give praziquantel for intestinal infection.
Consult an expert for neurocysticercosis; typically corticosteroids and anticonvulsants are given, and anthelmintics and/or surgery are sometimes used.

La cucina del diavolo era in origine un luogo caratterizzato da roccia arenaria che per effetto delle piogge si è eroso, nel corso di millenni, dando vita ad un canyon.

Salem hosted Cave Spring this week and the Spartans were in an unfamiliar spot, losers of two straight games for the first time in the Stephen Magenbauer era as head coach. But the Spartans HAD won 11 of the past 14 meetings against the Knights.
Salem's first possession went like clockwork. Austin Coulling found Tyler Gladden who shook a tackle for a nice 19 yard gain.
Two plays later Coulling found Isaiah Parker in the endzone for a Spartan touchdown giving Salem a 7-0 lead.
Parker was catching the pass again a few minutes later but this time on defense when he intercepted Alex Emery's pass on the 5 yard line. But Salem couldn't capitalize, they gave it right back on a fumble.
Jon Roach cashed in for the Knights on a 6 yd run for a Cave Spring TD but the PAT was no good. 7-6 Salem.
Coulling and Parker connected again later in the first half, this time from 20 yds out on a HUGE catch in the end-zone.
Coulling had three first half TD passes. And the Spartans end a two game skid, cruising past Cave Spring 42 to 6 giving Magenbauer his 100th win.
